DNA - IT'S ELECTRIC

In my seminars where I demonstrate applied and behavioral kinesiology (muscle checking), I talk about how we are electric systems and how we produce 22 millivolts of electricity within our bodies.

A blurb in DISCOVER MAGAZINE reported that scientists at the California Institute of Technology discovered long strings of our DNA carry electricity.

They speculated that these strings of DNA may be the equivalent of our interstate system carrying messages from one gene to another located at an exit ramp.  So, my speculation would be that the muscle checking is tapping into this highway and giving us immediate feedback on what's going on inside us.

Vitamin A May Reduce Emphysema In Smokers

A report in the Thie Newsletter reported on research from Kansas State University that found that rats that had a high level of Vitamin A and were exposed to cigarette smoke experienced a great reduction in emphysema.

So…if you're a smoker or exposed to secondary smoke, you might want to make sure you include Vitamin A with your other supplements.

Study Of Vitamin E And Diabetes

A study recently published in the journal Diabetes Care supports the benefits of Vitamin E. This study looked at both Vitamin E and the beta carotenoid beta-cryptoxanthin and its impact on the development of type II diabetes.

The study had 4,300 men and woman who were free of diabetes at the beginning of the study. The researchers did an analysis of the diets and found that those consuming the highest amounts of Vitamin E were 31% less likely to develop diabetes and those taking the beta-cryptoxanthin reduced their risk by 42%.

So… if you are taking Vitamin E, keep on taking it and if you're not I'd suggest adding 400 to 800 IUs per day. One other thing, when you look at the label it should say d-alpha tocopherol and not dl-alpha tocopherol. The addition of the letter l (dl) means it's synthetic.
