is a brief summery of the following information
based on studying with Dr. Bernard Jensen and
more than 25 years in the medical field working
with back pain and arthritis suffers. Dr. Jensen
found that when calcium deposits
crystallize in the joints and in the form of bone
spurs there is a chemical
imbalance in the body that can be reversed.
At his 120 acre healing center in Escondido California
he treated people suffering extreme debilitation
actually being bent over with one inch bone spurs
up and down their spines. In one year of proper
nutrition all the spurs were gone and there was
no evidence of the former problem. We have seen
similar results. If you want to understand the
physiology of how it works read the entire CAPRA
MINERAL WHEY article.
A
program to consider that can give your body the
proper nutrients include CAPRA MINERAL WHEY, New
Vision Essential Calcium and
New Vision Essential Minerals.
CAPRA MINERAL WHEY is probably
the best form of whey you can buy. For a less
expensive brand check out your local health food
store or Costco which has cow's whey at
a very good price. Besides reversing calcium deposits
in the body whey powder is a favorite form of
protein of body builders and other athletes because
of its easy to digest excellent muscle building
protein. Essentially what
Dr. Jensen has found is that whey powder in many
cases can assist in balancing the bodies chemistry
and putting the calcium back in solution and reversing
osteoarthritis and bone spurs.
CAPRA MINERAL WHEY
A uniquely processed, 100% natural, mineral-rich,
goat’s milk whey powder.
_ Goat’s milk is the most widely consumed
milk in the world
_ Goat’s milk is most like human milk in
composition
_ Mt. Capra goats are not fed any pesticides,
herbicides, antibiotics, or growth hormones
_ CMW is minimally processed to insure it’s
original composition
_ CMW contains a broad array of more than 20 naturally
occurring minerals in a highly complex whole food
form which our bodies recognize and utilize with
ease
_ A highly concentrated, alkaline, mineral food
_ Beneficial to weak and painful joints
_ Soothing and healing to the digestive and intestinal
tract;
a natural strengthener to the immune system
| Caution
- For some people whey powder can be a
strong laxative. |
Dr.
Bernard Jensen says, “ . . . one of the
best natural mineral supplements I know is Capra
Mineral Whey.”
Goat Milk Magic, pg. 70
Why Goat’s Milk?
Today, over 65% of the world’s population
drink the milk of goats. Goat’s milk is
the most like human milk in composition and is
praised for it’s ready digestibility. Our
bodies can digest goat’s milk in 20 minutes;
conversely it takes 2-3 hours to digest cow’s
milk. Additionally, the composition and size of
goat milk fat globules are 5-10 times smaller
than those found in the milk of cows. Goat’s
milk is an alkaline food and is also naturally
homogenized. The Journal of American Medicine,
the official organization for over 100,000 physicians
in the United States, under the heading of dietetics
and hygiene writes, “The goat is the healthiest
domestic animal known, and it’s milk is
superior in every way to cow’s milk. Goat’s
milk is the ideal food for babies, convalescents,
and invalids, especially those with weakened digestive
powers. Goat’s milk is the purest, most
healthful, and most complete food known.”
Why do we need the minerals in Capra Mineral Whey?
Since 90% of the minerals in milk are contained
in the whey, CMW minerals are a natural part of
the microstructure of concentrated whey. Nutrient
intake works best when groups of nutrients, including
minerals, are available in the digestive tract
at the same time. CMW is a concentrated food that
contains minerals in naturally occurring combinations
that are well assimilated. Doctor’s and
nutritionists agree that getting minerals from
foods is better than getting them from manufactured,
isolated, and inorganic products. Senate Document
#264, 74th Congress, 2nd Session, claims there
are serious nutritional deficiencies developing
in this country because our food is lacking in
certain minerals and trace elements needed by
people to stay healthy. This claim was made in
1936! If concerns about the quality of our food
were raised over 60 years ago, where does that
leave us today? The obvious conclusion is supplying
our bodies with minerals from highly concentrated,
whole food sources. What an excellent description
of Capra Mineral Whey!

| Interesting
note about whey powder - we have found
that nursing mothers who are having a
problem producing enough milk for their
baby who take whey powder will be engorged
with a lot of milk within 12-24 hours.
There is no reason
at all that a woman should have to stop
nursing because she is not producing enough
mother's milk. With these very nutritious
supplements a mother can be flowing with
wonderful milk for her baby. |
Minerals seldom, if ever, work by themselves.
They work in harmony with each other and with
other nutrients.
Sodium + Potassium
A necessary and beneficial combination.
Sodium is healthy?
Chronic indigestion, intestinal irritation, constipation,
ulcers and other stomach disorders as well as
joint troubles such as arthritis, rheumatism and
osteoporosis are often signs that the bio-organic
sodium is deficient in the body. Reserve supplies
of sodium are stored in joints, ligaments, and
lymph fluid, but chiefly in the walls of the stomach
and small bowel. This makes the tissues of the
stomach highly alkaline, which is needed to withstand
the hydrochloric acid normally produced in the
stomach. If it were not for the presence of sodium,
the stomach walls would be destroyed by the acid
in these tissues.
Acids are produced in the body through devitalized
foods, stress, mental strain, etc. When this occurs
sodium is withdrawn from the above mentioned sights
to neutralize the acid. If we overdraw from the
sodium reserve in the stomach it will be withdrawn
from the joints and ligaments and they will suffer
lack. This is because the blood, in attempt to
maintain chemical balance, will borrow sodium,
but calcium will remain in the joints causing
pain and rigidness that is so evidently common
today.
Remember, bio-organic sodium is food sodium, not
to be confused with table salt sodium, NaCl, which
is processed at extreme heat using many chemical
procedures, including bleaching, to get the finished
product. The stomach, intestines, joints, and
ligaments are sodium organs and are in constant
need of food sodium.
Potassium: necessary for a peak performance
Heart irregularity, fatigue and immune deficiencies,
along with acid alkaline imbalance may signal
bio-organic potassium deficiencies. Potassium
is primarily stored in the muscles (including
the heart muscle). It’s functions include
neutralizing acid wastes and, with the help of
sodium, controlling the acid alkaline balance
in the muscles.
Potassium and Sodium perform many of the same
functions and are nearly always found together
in the body. Second only to breathing and maintaining
heartbeat the most important metabolic function
our bodies perform is to maintain a specific pH.
Electrolytes, chiefly sodium and potassium, keep
the pH balance in our bodies nearly constant.
Q: What does the term “trace minerals”
or “trace elements” mean?
A: Minerals are divided into two groups. Macro
minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus,
etc.) are needed in fairly large amounts. Micro,
or trace, minerals (copper, zinc, manganese, vanadium,
cobalt, molybdenum, etc.) are needed in very small
amounts. Although minimal in size, trace
minerals are a critical factor in maintaining
a proper balance of health. CMW contains an abundance
of both macro and micro minerals.
Q: Does CMW have electrolytes? What do they do?
A: Yes, the most plentiful mineral ingredients
in CMW are electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium,
calcium, chloride, and phosphorus). Electrolytes
are electrically charged ions, positive and negative,
which are capable of conducting electricity in
a liquid. They help maintain the membrane potentials
of cells and are crucially involved in muscle
function, high energy levels, heart activity,
and the pH balance in the blood and tissues.
Q: Are CMW minerals helpful to enzymes in the
body?
A: Definitely! There are over 3,000 active enzymes
in every cell of the body! An entire “family”
of enzymes are called metalloenzymes because one
or more metallic minerals play an essential role
in their function. For example, copper is a key
element in many enzymes that build or tear down
body tissue. Manganese is used by enzymes needed
to utilize several vitamins. Zinc is used in over
80 enzymes that are needed by everyone.
Q: Can I still take the product if I am lactose
intolerant?
A: Many people who are lactose intolerant enjoy
taking CMW. It is wise, with any medical condition,
to consult your doctor before you begin using
a new product.
Q: Is there a “best way” to take CMW?
A: CMW is available in the capsule or powder form.
We suggest five capsules three times per day or
two tablespoons per day of the bulk powder. The
most common way of taking the CMW powder is mixing
one tablespoon in a cup of warm water. Some customers
like CMW in vegetable juices like celery, beet,
carrot, or tomato juice. Others enjoy adding it
to tea, yogurt, soup, and casseroles, or sprinkling
it on top of salads or fruit.
These statements have not been evaluated by the
FDA.

Proper
Diet:
The omega-3 fatty acids in fish act as a natural
anti-inflammatory.
Costco's brand (Kirkland) is inexpensive and said
to be low in toxins.
Dr. Dean Ornish -
3 gms (capsules) a day of fish oil (omega 3) can
reduce your risk of heart attack or sudden death
by 50-80%.
For
many years energycenter.com
has been sending nutritional supplements
to third world countries to help people

New
Vision Essential Fatty Acids™
Perfect balance of necessary fatty acids - including
gamma
linolenic acid (GLA).
Click
here to learn more:
 Omega-3
fatty acids in fish, flax oil and gamma
linolenic acid (GLA) in promrose oil have anti-inflammatory
effects on arthritic conditions. Fish oil contains
EPA (eiscosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaneoic
acid), whild flax oil contains alpha-linolenic acid
(ALA). The body uses these essential fatty acids
to make various prostaglandins and leukotrienes,
substances that inhibit the infalmmatory response
and pain (Omega-3 fatty acids in inflammation and
autoimmune diseases. J Am Aol Nut 2002;
21(6);495-505). It is believed that rheumatioid
arthritis ia an autoimmune disease and studies show
that when RA patients suplement with EPA and DHA,
their symptoms improve.
Consumption of GLA in flax oil may increase the
number of favorable prostaglandins and leukotrienes,
lowereing inflammation. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA)
is a healthy fatty acid found in evening promrose
oil and borage oil that reduces swelling and pain
in arthritic joints. A new study found that supplementing
with omega-3 fatty acids, in combination with reduction
of omega-6 fatty acids, and adequate intake of monounsaturated
fatty acids, improves rhuematoid arthritis (RA)
symptoms, and alleviates the need for NSAIDS (Diet,
nutrition and thuemattoid arthritis, Clinical
Terapeutica. 2005; 156(3) 115-123).

Sometimes
referred to as protomorphogens - that is
nutritional supplements that are the same
organ or body substance as you are trying
to regenerate or heal. For example taking
bone meal as a calcium supplement. This
theory may be questionable but may be of
value to consider. Some research has shown
that the protomorphogen gelatine is excellent
for supporting the cartilage of your body.
Gelatine is bovine collagen derived from
boiling animal skin, tendons, ligaments
and bones and is a good source of protein.
Knox Gelatine is a very inexpensive supplement
that can be purchased in supermarkets and
in large 1 pound containers at some locations.
Using a teaspoon or tablespoon full of Knox
in a glass of orange juice (or other drink)
1-2 times a day may assist in supporting
the cartilage system of our joints.
An interesting article: "Essential
Roles" for Proline, Glycine and Gelatin
"Several
years ago Knox Gelatin introduced
a new product named Nutrajoint
with great fanfare. This supplement
contains gelatin, vitamin C and
calcium, and advertisements touted
"recent scientific studies"
proving that gelatin can contribute
to the building of strong cartilage
and bones.
In fact, the evidence goes back
more than a century, and not only
established gelatin’s value
to cartilage and bones but also
to the skin, digestive tract,
immune system, heart and muscles." |

There is a superstar among nutrients,
truly a "comeback kid." During the
past year, vitamin D long labeled the "sunshine
vitamin" and known for its importance
in building strong bones, has skyrocketed
to the top of many health-conscious Americans'
"must-take" supplement list.
It has been called the new "C"
the "It" mutrient, and the new aspirin.
"Vitamin D has literally been resurrected,"
says physician and nutritional expert Ray
Sahelian, author of Mind Boosters: A Guide
to Natural Supplements That Enhance Your Mind,
Memory and Mood.
Has the imoortance of vitamin
D been overhyped? "No," Sahelian
tells Newsmax. "It's very ipmortant.
Recent studies have shiown how important vitamin
D is, especially in reducing or preventing
cancer and reducing
risk of autoimmune diseases."
Since the sun is a vital source
of vitamin D, and few foods are rich sources
(egg yolks and fatty fish are exceptions),
many Americans don't get enough, especiallhy
during Northeren winters. Even people who
live in sunny climates often don't get the
10 to 20 minutes of sun exposure needed to
produce an adequate amount, Sahelian says.
And with the sun's connection to aging skin
and skin cancer, many people intentionally
avoid exposing their skin to sunlight.
In fact, the National Center for
Health Statistics says at least 36 percent
of Americans are deficient, and research released
in March showed that 1 in 7 teenagers is deficient.
Vitamin D deficiency has been
linked to a long list of ills, including cardiovascular
disease and diabetes, while adequate amounts
significantly enhance health. The list of
vitamin D benefits is long and varied: |
•
Prevents cardiovascular disease. Adequate
amounts lower hypertension risk while deficiencies
raise the risk of stroke, heart attack, or
heart failure
• Helps prevent multiple sclerosis
• Strengthens bones and lowers
the risk of falls
• Eases winter depression
• Lowers risk of many forms of
cancer
• Prevents or delays the onset
of diabetes, both Types 1 and 2
• Boosts immunity to tuberculosis
• Contgrols weight and body fat
• Lowers the risk of gum disease
• Slows aging by up to five years
• Prevents cognitive declin in
elderly
• Lowers the risk of colds and
flu
• Promotes liver health. More
thatn 92 percent of patients with chronic
liver disorders are vitamin D deficient
• Controls pain. Mayo Clinic studies
found that patients with low levels of vitamin
D require twice as much pain medication, and
that 93 percent of people with painful chronic
conditions such as fibromyalgia are deficient.
The government recommends 400
IU daily, but many experts believe much more
is needed for optimal health. Vitamin D supplements
are inexpensive and realily available. "Most
experts believe that calciferos - vitmain
D-3 - is the most potent form," Sahelian
says.
A
safe, effective dose is thought to be 1,000
IU daily. Although Sahelian says some doctors
are prescribing up to 2,000 IU a Day, he urges
caution. "I'd recommend no more than
1,000 IU daily until we learn more." |

Dr
Bernard Jensen's excellent book "Arthritis,
Rheumatism and Osteoporosis an
Effective Program for Correction Through Nutrition"
is out of stock and out of print.
It is available as an E-Book and DVD from
- Bernard
Jensen International |
|
Introduction |
| This
book will be a great help to anyone
with arthritis, other rhumatoid conditions
or osteoporosis. If a complete solution
to rhumatoid disease is ever found,
I believe it will be along the lines
of the program I am presenting here,
which is based on over 50 years of private
sanitarium practice. This book is to
teach you to take care of your problems,
rather than giving you temporary relief.
Take care of your problems that are
yet to come. Let us prevent more and
cure less. Let us live a good lifestyle
so we need less treatments. |
| So
many people are taking gold shots, injections,
vaccinations and nostrums for relief--
only relief. My program offers correction,
a method of bringing in new tissue through
evolved living, if the disease is not
too far advanced. |
| Arthritis
may take many years to reach the degenerative
stage, and it is possible to wait tooo
long before starting a corrective program.
I the condition is not too advanced,
my program should help. I have had excellent
success in dissolving calcium deposits
and spurs from those who had osteoarthritis.
|
| In
fact Dr. Waterson, a medical doctor
from Scottsdale, Arizona, used to visit
my Ranch and watch how my program of
nutrition and exercise affected people
with different diseases. Once he showed
me six photographs of a man's knee,
taken over a year and a half, showing
the progressive reduction of a large
calcium spur down to nothing. Calcium
deposits can be reversed. Dr. Waterson
used only my methods with his patien.
|
| I
have also worked with Dr. Henry G. Bieler
of Pasadena, author of Food Is Your
Best Medicine, showing him my nutritional
program. I worked with him on over 500
cases, with many wonderful results,
invluding arthritis cases. His book
was based on his success in treating
various rhumatoid problems with injections
and oral administration of hydrocholoric
acid. His success was due to improvement
of protien digestion. Many people with rhumatoid
problems would benefit from taking digestive
aid tablets and foods high in sodium
(the correct form) . The stomach wall
uses a good deal of sodium in the process
of digestion. When sodium becomes depleted,
it must be replaced for proper digestion
of protein. |
In
my estimation, over 50 percent of the
people in this country have some form
of rhumatoid disturbance, ranging from
slight pain and stiffness in the morning
to the most degenerative stages. This
includes people with nodules on the
joints, bone spurs and joint problems
of all kinds. I am including osteoporosis
(calcium loss from the bones) because
it is a calcium imbalance problem, even
though it is not a rhumatoid condition.
There are millions of people in this
country who have these conditions, and
my program of diet, exercise and nutritional
supplement could help many of them,
although I cannot say it will help all.
|
| The
causes of rhumatioid conditions are
many. Trauma, fatigue, genetic disposition,
sodium deficiency, metabolic disorders,
poor food habits, junk food, high-stress
jobs or lifestyles, drug side effects,
food allergies, chemicalized drinking
water, excessive perspiration (sodium
loss), glandular imbalance, climate,
excessive use of meant and many other
things can contribute to the development
of rhumatoid problems. |
| Digestive
problems may lead to or result from
rhumatoid condtiions, but they nearly
always go together. Once the digestive
difficulties begin, the body is unable
to assimilate all the nutrients it needs.
A high percentage of my patients are
deficient in hydrochloric acid, needed
to digest proteins properly. When we
realize that most of our calcium is
from proteins, we can see the problem.
We must work to improve digestion if
we are to take care of rhumatoid problems.
|
| Excess
table salt, which is the wrong kind
of sodium, contributes to hardening
of the arteries, and I believe it contributes
to joint troubles as well. I advise
cutting it out of the diet, or at least,
cutting down on the use of it as much
as possible. |
The
people of the United States are on a
calcium craze now. Television advertising
and magazine ads are loaded with new
products claiming to be the solution
to the problem of calcium deficiency.
Osteoporosis and other types of calcium-imbalance
problems, such as osteoarthritis and
rhumatoid arthiritis, are suddenly in
the forefromt of the news. |
| How
real is the problem? And, how realistic
are the solution proposed by advertisers? |
| In
over 50 years of sanitarium practice,
I have taken care of thousands of cases
o arthritis, and I can tell you, the
problem is very real. And the reason
I have written this book is because
I have found a very real and lasting
answer. |
| |
| Recent
surveys show that American women, aged
16 to 50, are geting less than 70% of
the recommended daily allowance of calcium,
which is 1000 mg. An advertisement by
Kraft, the well-known U.S. manufacturer
of processed cheese, claims that 50%
of American children are getting less
than their recommended daily allowance
of calcium. They are urging parents
to give their children more cheese.
I believe these reports. I believe that
a high percentage of Americans do not
get enough calcium -- or at least not
enough of the right kind of calcium.
But, I don't believe that taking some
of the highly advertised calcium supplements
will necessarily help. |
| First
of all, I want you to notice that most
of the remedies offered for the pain
and stiffness of arthritis are for
relief only. They don't pretend
to get at the cause of the
problem. They don't offer correction. |
|
Most
people with arthritis or other painful
rhumatic conditions just want to get
rid of the pain. The don't realize
these are unseen causes inside the
body that are producing the pain.
I don't care how much Advil, Tylenol
or asprin you take, the pain will
always return until you make up your
mind to go after the cause of the
problem and get rid of it. Most people
and their doctors look at pain as
a localized thing, and that's the
way they treat it. I believe that
90% of our aches and pains are reflex
pain from some other part of the body,
you can't treat the local site of
pain, which is a symptom only, and
get rid of its deeper cause in some
other part of the body.
|
| Are
drugs the answer? In two recent experiments,
one at the University of California's
San Diego Medical Center, new drugs
were tested. Improvement was found with
both drugs, although side effects were
found for one, and after it was stopped,
symptoms b became worse than ever. No
doubt the other has side effects too--because
all drugs have side effects. The problem
with drugs is that they disturb the
body chemistry, cause dangerous side
effects and leave toxic residues in
the body. Drugs tend to relieve symptoms
without getting at the underlying cause,
and, although drugs can alter the body
chemistry, they cannot rebuild tissue,
they cannot replace old tissue with
new, which is what is required for complete
healing to take place. |
After
age 50, when rheumatic conditions begin
to appear in the majority of those who
get them, there is 20% lowered function
in all parts of the body, due to aging.
Elimination of wastes is retarded. The
skin becomes dry. Thyroid function is
lower, reducing glandular function throughout
the body and lowering the metabolism.
To develop a realistic program for taking
care of arthritis and other rheumatic
conditions, we need to recognize what
is going on in the whole body and take
care of everything--toxic settlements,
mineral deficiencies (Essential
Minerals) and diminished immunity. |
The
wholistic approach to taking care of
a disease or condition is to build up
the health of the whole body until the
body is strong enough to throw off the
problem. In the case of rheumatid conditions,
we need to use iodine for the thyroid,
exercise and hawthorn berry tea for
the circulation, sufficient liquid intake
and KB-11 tea to take care of the kidneys,
fresh vegetables and fruits to provide
enough natural fiber to increase bowel
elimination, foods high in calcium,
sodium and potassium to neutralize excess
body acids, vitamin D to help with calcium
assimilation, and a proper diet to meet
all nutrient needs and correct deficiencies.
this is just an idea of a few things
to take care of a few problems that
exist. Each person is different having
different vital organ problems that
would need other types of corrective
measures
(individual genetic needs). This
is a wholistic approach, the way of
working with nature instead of trying
to find shortcuts by man's way.---. |
| We
need to understand that every gland,
organ and tissue in the body affects
every other part of the body. We live
in an acid-producing country where the
pressures of our jobs, urban living
and relationships produce a lot of nerve
acids. We have to live with environmental
pollution, the problems of a high¬speed
technological society, financial troubles
and devitalized, processed foods that
do not nourish our bodies properly. |
The
problem with most commercially produced
calcium supplements is that they are
not balanced for human assimilation.
Calcium must be balanced with magnesium,
and if there is too much or too little
of one or the other, it cannot be used
properly by the body (Essential
Calcium). There must be enough vitamin
D in the body to help assimilate calcium.
Without exercise, our bodies can't take
in sufficient calcium as needed, even
if we take calcium pills with three
times the recommended daily allowance.
It is excreted from the body instead. |
| Calcium
supplements alone are not the answer
in calcium deficiency problems. We need
to usc high calcium foods, instead.
Only nature combines calcium with the
right balance of other minerals, enzymes
and vitamins. |
| On
the other hand, many people who are
developing enlarged joints and calcium
spurs feel they are caused by taking
too much calcium. This is not usually
the case. The trouble is usually calcium-sodium
imbalance in the body, resulting in
calcium coming out of solution in the
blood and depositing in the joints.
We still need calcium, but we need to
have a diet high in natural sodium foods
at the same time. |
There
are other problems. A University of
Washington study showed that caffeine,
as found in coffee, tea, chocolate and
most soft drinks, increases calcium
loss in the body by double. Sugar leaches
calcium out of the body. By the way,
these so-called foods, are very acid
forming. You don‘t need more acid
foods of this kind to add to the rheumatic
acid you already have (Organic

more milk has been proposed as a solution
to calcium imbalance in arthritis and
osteoporosis, and Dale Alexander, author
of Arthritis and Common Sense,
has had good results giving milk with
a little cod liver oil added to many
people with arthritis. This is a good
remedy for some people, but I believe
we need to take a larger view of the
problem and consider the needs of the
whole body. Milk, for example, will
not take care of the sodium deficiency
which is often the cause of calcium
imbalance in the body. The truth is,
the average American has 25% milk products
in his diet, according to USDA figures,
and this is not solving the calcium
imbalance problem for most people. |
| Dr.
john Ott found a link between the ultraviolet
in sunlight and arthritis. Because most
people work indoors most ofthe time,
they don`: get enough ultraviolet from
artificial light, especially fluorescent
lights. Window glass and the glasses
most people wear filter out 85% of the
uluaviolet, and the eyes are unable
to take in this light. Ott's anhritis
disappeared after he broke his glasses
while on vacation in Florida, and he
believes it is very important that we
take in ultraviolet through the eyes
every day. lt doesn`t have to be direct
sunlight. We still get ultraviolet light
when we are outside in the shade from
reflections. I recommend plastic lenses
over glass lenses in glasses, because
they let in 85% o the ultraviolet, instead
of only 15% as regular glass lenses
do. |
Glandular
imbalances can lead to rheumatic conditions.
The thyroid gland not only influences
every other endocrine gland in the body,
but regulates the body's metabolism
and blood levels of calcium . So, when
the thyroid is underactive, the whole
body's energy supply and chemical balance
is affected. |
