Are taking multivitamins necessary? do they work? How does a vegan get leaner? Should they be eating soy? Are testosterone boosters safe and effective? Which ones should I take and what’s the best way to take them?
Below is a sample of the recent Q&A column on www.bullz-eye.com.
Q:Mike,
I?m currently taking a multivitamin because I?m trying to change my health for the better. Is this a good choice? Should I be taking other supplements?
A:Sergio, Short answer No. Multi vitamins are a waste because the absorption is so poor. Some vitamins and minerals compete with one another making absorption even worse.
What I take: Vitamin D (most important) 10,000iu per day, Vitamin A once per week 5000iu, CoQ10 100mg/day, Omega 3 fish oil, CLA, and cook with coconut and olive oils.
I recommend reading my article “Daily consumption for optimum health”, and below are a few other websites to consult.

Unless you’re living in a cave with no contact with other people or the media, you know it’s flu season. And whether or not you plan on getting the flu shot or have received the flu shot, we know it’s not 100% effective. As a matter a fact, despite what you keep hearing in the media, we don’t really know current flu vaccine’s efficacy at all. The key is to not get the virus in the first place.
What can you and your family do to avoid getting the flu?
Wash your hands The most common way a cold or flu virus is obtained is by touching your nose, eyes or mouth after your hands have been contaminated. The importance of washing your hands cannot be overstated and is our number one defense in stopping the spread of infections and illness.
Wash your hands:
Before you eat
Before touching your face
After you use the bathroom
Before and after you prepare food
After touching/petting an animal, a leash, or an animal toy
Before inserting or removing contact lenses
Frequently
Teach your family the proper way to cough and sneeze. Let others know they should turn their heads and cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue or the inside of their elbow and not in their hands.
Avoid close contact. When you?re sick or others around you are sick, try not to expose yourself or others to germs. If you are sick do not go to school, work, or any other places where many people could get exposed.
Practice good lifestyle habits:
Get plenty of sleep
Manage your stress
Eat nutritious food
Drink plenty of liquids
Despite strides in science, disinfectant sprays and anti-bacterial products, our best defense against infectious disease is simply washing your hands with ordinary soap. Unfortunately, many don’t wash their hands enough or if they do, they’re not doing it properly.
Hand Washing 101:
1. Use lukewarm water and lather your hands with ordinary soap. Anti bacterial soap is not necessary and simply rinsing your hands under running water is useless. Cold water is not as effective and avoid hot water because it will dry the skin too much.
2. Rub your hands together making sure to get the entire surface of your hands and fingers. Intertwine your fingers and don’t forget the back of your hands and around your finger nails.
3. Wash your hands properly for at least 20 seconds.
4. Rinse your hands well. try to let the water run from your wrist down off your finger tips.
5. Dry your hands with a clean paper towel or air dry. Use a paper towel to turn the faucet off. Remember you turned it on with dirty hands.
I urge everyone to watch the entire interview series By Dr. Mercola.
There are so many unanswered questions concerning not just H1N1, but all vaccines. There have been 81 deaths so far among children attributed to H1N1. However, we do not know, and the government will not tell the public how many of the deaths occurred in children who:
Were positively lab confirmed as H1N1
Had underlying chronic immune and brain dysfunction (asthma, autism, allergies, etc.)
Were fully vaccinated according to CDC recommendations
Received influenza vaccine this year or in previous years
Received Tamiflu or another anti-viral prior to death
Had a coinciding bacterial infection with H1N1
Never received a vaccination of any kind
It’s becoming more and more apparent these and other questions are not being answered because the research, real research is not being done.
Did you know if you want to reduce your risk of cancer, you should join a study. Promoters of vegetarianism have been singing the praises of a report on two studies in the British Journal of Cancer. The report notes two prospective studies, the Epic-Oxford cohort and the Oxford Vegetarian study, examining cancer incidence among vegetarians. The report studied 61566 British men and women, comprising 32403 meat eaters, 8562 non-meat eaters who ate fish and 20601 vegetarians. The average follow-up was 12.2 years. Vegetarians had less bladder, stomach and blood cancer than meat and fish eaters. However vegetarians had higher rates of colon, rectal and cervical cancers. These numbers as with many studies are deceiving.
According to this report the chance of a meat eater developing bladder cancer is 1 in 518; for vegetarians it was 1 in 1677; for fish eaters it was 1 in 1400. Even though the report shows meat eaters are over three times more likely to develop bladder cancer, it?s still only a .19% chance. Your chance of developing cervical cancer if you?re a meat eater was 1 in 1982; for fish eaters it?s 1 in 890; for vegetarians it?s 1 in 948. Judging by this report, a vegetarian female is twice as likely to develop cervical cancer compared to her meat eating amigo, but still only a .10% chance. The play on numbers in this report is inexcusable but all too common.
The differences in the various cancer rates between the 3 groups overall were insignificant; however the fish eaters were found to have the largest reduced cancer risk. Curiously, which you don?t see reported in mainstream sources, there was no difference found in all cause mortality between the diet groups. However, all the diet groups had a 50% less reduced risk of all cause mortality compared to the general population. Hmmmm.
In another analysis of two studies, the Oxford Vegetarian Study and the Health Food Shoppers Study, researchers compared the mortality of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Mortality rates were 52% and 59% of the general population respectively. However, strangely unreported by vegetarians, there was no difference in mortality rates between vegetarians and non-vegetarians in either study. Researchers concluded that the benefits found in the subjects of both studies compared to the general population may be attributed to non-dietary factors.
