Getting Your Vitamins the Natural Way
Winston's Super Energy Booster Mix
Prior to the advent of vitamin technology, man, animals and plants got their vitamins and nutrition from unprocessed, natural and nutritious food.
During the late 1940’s and late 1950’s some vitamins were manufactured in a healthy manner. Vitamin E was made from wheat germ. However, many other vitamins such as Vitamin B complexes, which were quite vital for health, were made in a manner that was quite toxic. In fact it sterilized pigs and men as well. (Many people get slightly nauseous when consuming Vitamin B complexes. Do you think the body might be trying to
communicate something?)
Today, Vitamin E is made from acetate. If you read the label on the bottle it says “L-alpha tocopherol acetate” or “dl‑alpha tocopherol acetate”. The natural form should read “d-alpha tocopherol”. What is acetate? It is film (camera film or the color film that is used to cover stage lights to produce various colored beams of lights). At one time, the largest film producing company in America was also the largest Vitamin E producer. They didn’t like the stigma that came with Vitamin E so they sold off that division of the company. However, their waste products, the little squares that were produced from the sprocket holes on the side of the film, are still being made into Vitamin E today. As you can figure out on your own, this couldn’t
possibly be good for you. Vitamins B and C have similar stories. So, the point here is that it is close to impossible to purchase a clean natural vitamin that isn’t made from plastic, city sewage sludge, horse manure, or geneticallymodified corn and soy as the base organic matter.

To help reduce the number of overweight and obese children, the U.S. Surgeon General encourages Spot the Block, a campaign aimed at getting children ages 9 to 13 to read food labels to establish lifelong healthy eating habits. TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) supports these efforts by helping families (parents and children) learn how to eat a healthy balance of foods and incorporate regular exercise into their lives.
It certainly worked for Jenna Clancy, now a high school freshman in Riverside, Rhode Island. When Clancy first joined TOPS in 2006, she weighed 176 pounds. By regularly attending weekly chapter meetings, making healthy food choices and exercising consistently, Clancy lost over 45 pounds.

TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IMPORTANT COMPONENTS WHEN APPLYING FOR SENIOR HOUSING/HEALTHCARE LOAN, CAMBRIDGE CHAIRMAN SAYS
If you hope to make a favorable impression on your senior housing/healthcare lender, there really isn’t an option. When applying for a loan you’ll need to be forthcoming, advises Cambridge Realty Capital Companies Chairman Jeffrey A. Davis.
“The odds for obtaining a loan with the most desirable terms and conditions increase in direct proportion with the borrower’s knowledge of the business and his or her willingness to forthrightly share information the lender will need to underwrite and close the loan in a timely fashion,” he observes.
Davis is Chairman of Cambridge Realty Capital Companies; one of the leading senior housing/healthcare lenders in the nation with more than 300 closed transactions totaling $2.75 billion since the mid-1990s. Important to any relationship between borrower and lender is the understanding that information shared will be held in the strictest confidence, he believes.

Bottled Water's Days are Numbered, says leading Environmental Magazine
Bottled water is out, and tap water is in, says the May/June 2008 cover story of E – The Environmental Magazine (now posted at: www.emagazine.com). Call it reverse snob appeal. These days, it’s the tap water enthusiasts, concerned about the environment, who get to act self-righteous. Just like it has become cool to bring your own cloth bags to the grocery store and your own mug to the coffee shop, the reusable water bottle is the hip, new eco-accessory.
In Canada, the bottled water issue has reached the level of an “uprising.” College students are staging protests - declaring “bottled-water free zones” on campus. High school activists are raising questions about why their school board members are locking them into a contract with Coke or Pepsi (makers of Aquafina and Dasani bottled water) when they have access to drinking fountains for free.
