Natural vitamin E supplements are superior to synthetic
forms of the vitamin, is the conclusion of a review article that included 30
published studies. This review, published in the November 1998 issue of the
American Journal of Natural Medicine, compiled evidence showing that the
natural form is more bioavailable to the human body than the synthetic.
Supplements of vitamin E can be identified as natural on the label by the name
"d-alpha-tocopherol," as opposed to the synthetic form that is listed as "dl".

The Evelyn Files…
Stress should be considered
a deadly disease because it is the root of all dis-eases. Unfortunately
it is a part of everyday life. May I suggest you invest
in Moducare or Holy Basil & of course Udo’s Perfect Blend of Oils. These
products reduce stress & cortisol levels in the body.
As you probably know, emotional stress
& physical stress (inflammation & pain) raise cortisol, decreases DHEA, suppress
the immune system & imbalances the hormones.
Wishing you health always…Evelyn J

answers questions on Heart Disease: How do you remove
Arterial Plaque?
The easiest way to help clear the arteries is with lecithin. Lecithin is
a fat emulsifier. In other words, it helps liquefy the arterial plaque so it
will not adhere to the vessel wall. Be sure to use the liquid form of lecithin,
not the granules. The granules are liquid lecithin poured back into soy meal, so
there is very little lecithin in the product. Gel capsules of liquid lecithin
are available for ease of taking. Dosage is a minimum of 1200mg 3 times daily.
Liquid lecithin can also be added to juices, though I heard it is like trying to
drink peanut butter. Magnesium is also extremely important. Arterial
plaque is composed of calcified fatty acids. The magnesium displaces the calcium
in the plaque making it softer and easier for the body to remove. Magnesium also
strengthens the heart muscle. As an added bonus the magnesium acts as a calcium
channel blocker, thereby relaxing the blood vessels. This opens the blood
vessels and lowers the blood pressure. Recommended dosage is 500mg 2-3 times
daily with meals. If you take too much it will have a laxative effect.
