From statistics in 'Win The War Within' by Floyd Chilton Ph.D., with Laura Tucker.
"The vast majority of us are at risk," says Dr Chilton, "Epidemic of epidemics."
'Largely preventable, the inflammatory diseases are on the rise in the western world:
- Seventy million Americans suffer from arthritis, that's twice as many arthritis sufferers as there were two decades ago (says the Arthritis Foundation)
- More than 20 million Americans have asthma today. It is the sixth most common chronic human disease.
- More than 50 million Americans suffer every year from allergies, a number that has doubled in the past twenty years. 100% increase in prevalence of hay fever in developed countries in each of the last three decades .....
- There were 18.2 million people in the US with diabetes in 2002, a 49% increase from ten years ago. This debilitating disease contributes to about 200,000 deaths in the US each year.
- Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of Americans Almost 64 million Americans have it in some form, and it killed almost a million people in 2001.'

Healthy Eating Suggestions
We get into the habit of eating just because it is that time again. I have found it is much better to eat smaller servings of food but more often. This keeps everything running smoothly.
If you start each meal feeling empty but not 'starved' you will not want to over eat. I find it is essential not to miss breakfast although many young people do just that. Then eat the 'not so good fast-foods'.
Try to eat natural food snacks, such as fruit, dried fruit, carrot sticks, plain popcorn or bread sticks. If you can't live without chocolate or some other craving, don't try to! Start by halving the quantity you used to have, buy a smaller children's bar instead and less often.
Never shop for food whilst hungry, it is a disaster. Plan your shopping as this will reduce impulse buying of unhealthy snacks etc.
Another idea is to wait for 20 minutes or longer after finishing your main meal, before thinking about seconds or dessert. It takes at least 20 minutes for your brain to register that your stomach is full.
Discover new foods, especially new salad ideas - there is a never-ending supply to be had. Of cause the most important is to drink plenty of cool water. It is now said to sip icy water throughout the day to lose weight (without exercising).
Mannatech Inc and Sam Caster recommend plenty of water as well as their glyconutrient supplements. Glyconutrients are generally missing from our diet but are necessary for optimal health and wellness. "The body is the true miracle. The body is designed to repair, restore, protect and defend itself if it gets the tools that it was intended to have. Mannatech and their scientists have discovered glyconutrients as we no longer live in the world for which our bodies were designed and we must now compensate for the changes," says Dr. Steve Nugent in his book "How to Survive on A Toxic Planet".

Asthma and Aloe Vera
Taken from The Miracle in Aloe Vera by Dr. Neecie Moore
'As a folk medicine, Aloe is used to aid in the treatment of asthma and bronchitis by the native trives of Java. They also use a mixture of Aloe and rose water to cure tuberculosis (Skousen).
Akira Yagi (1987), found that a six-month oral administration of an Aloe extract showed efficacy for chronic bronchial asthmatics of various ages. In addition, Yagi found it significant that the extract was not efficacious for patients who had previously been administered corticosteroid.
As a topical agent, Aloe has been reported effective in treating respiratory tract disorders. A New Jersey physician (J.E. Thompson,1991) has used a Beta (1.4) mannan Aloe gel for the treatment of post treatment epistaxis, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, non-specific rhinitis, and various skin inflammations. "In the respiratory tract, results are startling, taking place in hours to several days." Further, "The Carrington allantoin gotten from the Aloe vera plant seems to keep the admirable qualities of its root substances while in respiratory tract use, namely exerting a potent healing stimulus effect with virtually no discernible side effect or contraindications. ....... It may prove to be of inestimable importance" (Thompson, 1991, 119).'
It certainly has proved to be important as Mannatech and Sam Caster has used Aloe vera in its glyconutrient products with great success. Aloe vera has been used for thousands of years for healing. Glyconutrients are essential for maximum optimal health and well being.

Healthier Alternative to Diets
Taken from Dr. Mercola's article - What's wrong With Diet Foods?
'.....Although many believe a low-calorie diet is part of an anti-aging, life-extending regimen, it definitely does not include the commercially available "diet," or "low-calorie" varieties of food, and is not an appropriate route for growing youngsters. These pre-packaged processed diet foods, which are sold as "healthier alternatives," are anything but healthy.
I believe there is a MAJOR confusion about low calorie diets, and that in many, they may cause more harm than good. I suspect most of the studies supporting a low calorie diet are associated with living a longer life have a serious interpretative flaw. My strong belief is that the reason low calorie diets work is that they normalize insulin and leptin levels and keep them nice and low. You can keep them low with a low calorie diet, but for many this may actually cause more harm than good, especially the emotional harm of depriving yourself of food......'
It seems good sense to eat natural, healthy food as low fat foods usually contain more salt and sweeteners for the delicious taste.

Glyconutrients give support your body's natural ability to reach optimum nutritional levels and play a role in enhancing quality of life.
