Updates To The Book “ERIC IS WINNING”
February 2007
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
There are several items I wish to bring to your attention this month.
Each item will have its own heading.
RESVERATROL (From red-wine grapes)
We've known for years that the French have something in their diet
that makes them live longer and we've known it's probably red wine.
Now, we know what is in the red wine. The magazine "Newsweek"
has an article about Resveratrol in their 12-11-06 issue. The article
is written by two medical doctors from Harvard Medical School. They
discuss a study that compared three groups of middle aged mice on
three different diets. Only one of the three diets included Resveratrol.
The group that received Resveratrol was not only healthier and more
active, but their death rate was reduced by 30%. This is only the
highlight of the article, but I thought that any one item that could be that
significant might be of benefit to anyone with any illness including ALS.
I have not tried it yet, but I plan to immediately. According to the article,
Resveratrol is now available in the health food stores. I think it would
be a good idea to eat the red grapes along with the supplement. There
may be something in the red grape that would work synergistically with
the Resveratrol.
INTRAVENOUS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
I have a pamphlet on "Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide" by Gordon
Josephs, DO, MD(H), Scottsdale, Arizona. At this time, Dr. Josephs
is licensed as a homeopathic physician in Arizona. There are only
three states which presently license doctors as homeopaths.
The following are some of the items for which peroxide has been
proven to be effective:
1. Peroxide stimulates the immune system.
2. Peroxide kills a dozen different pathogenic bacteria. It kills many
viruses, yeast and fungus too.
3. Peroxide even improves circulation and unblocks arteries, like
chelation does.
4. It causes debris deep down in the lungs to be expelled.
5. It gets rid of all kinds of chronic pains, but nobody is certain why.
6. It oxygenates the body, better than if you get into a $100,000
hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
7. Peroxide even destroys some cancerous tumors.
The list goes on and on, but even if it only does half of that, it could be
worth doing. I've already had two peroxide treatments and plan on
doing at least ten. You will probably have to find an ACAM doctor who
does chelation IV and peroxide IV. This is my thought, but these
peroxide treatments could possibly be effective for treatment of Lyme
disease.
CARPET CLEANER
New carpeting may emit toxic vapors for up to five years or more. I
have just learned of an effective carpet cleaning product that will
minimize or eliminate toxic vapor from carpeting.
Here is the web site for more information of this product:

It is called AMF SafeChoice Lock Out Carpet Fiber Sealer.
CRACKDOWN ON SUPPLEMENTS
According to a December 18 article in the "L. A. Times," the US
dietary supplement industry will be required to report consumer
side effects from its products. They will be required to report events
such as death and hospitalization to the FDA. This Bill was the
result of two deaths that occurred from taking the supplement
EPHEDRA.
Now that would be hilarious if it weren't so damned serious. You
see, the drug companies, to the best of my knowledge, are not
required to do that. BUT, we know that about 110,000 people die
annually in the US from taking prescription drugs and that's based
on VOLUNTARY reporting in HOSPITALS only. We have no idea
how many really die from drugs. It is my guess that if the truth were
known it would be far more than the half of a million who die every
year from tobacco.
Talk about a double standard--WOW.
The article also indicates that the supplement industry takes in $22
billion a year. Now, that must be from people who are dissatisfied
with their medical doctor's treatment of drugs only.
SOY BEANS & SOY MILK
Most of us learn from books and articles written by other people.
However, we only accept information that is LOGICAL. Even then
we would prefer to test the theory before we fully believe that it's
correct. This is especially true when we read conflicting articles
about the same subject.
I have read books and articles about the soy bean and soy milk
that differ about the benefits of soy. The history books tell us that
the Chinese have been eating the soy bean for centuries and it may
be the cause of their good health. Today we know that Chinese
babies are among the healthiest in the world. To the contrary, I
have read articles elsewhere and on the Internet that say soy is
no good; in fact it is even toxic. I don't know which one is right,
but here is my experience: If I have a low pH on a given day and
I eat soy beans for part of my dinner, my pH will be well above 7.0
the very next morning. Additionally, I'm always stronger when my
pH is up. Also, I am like a guinea pig in a way. If I eat or drink
ANYTHING that's the least little bit toxic, I can tell it within twelve
hours. Now I have been drinking a Starbucks Chi Tea latte with
soy milk for somewhere between two and three years. I have not
missed a day in all that time. I drink an average of 20 oz. everyday.
Now I'm certain that if the soy milk was the least bit toxic, I would
know it. Actually, my strength oftentimes improves within two or
three hours of drinking my latte. I have even used organic milk for
over a month in my lattes just to see if there would be any difference.
The only difference is that I'm not as strong when I drink the regular
milk. My conclusion is that the soy bean and soy milk is good for me.
BLOOD CLOTS
Several months ago, I developed swollen legs because blood clots
had formed in my veins. The doctor was worried I might die from a
blood clot moving up to the lung, heart or brain. He put me in the
hospital immediately and put me on blood thinning drugs. As I said
before, I believe in drugs only for emergencies or life threatening and
temporary situations. The long and the short of it is this. Within one
week from out of the hospital I switched from drugs to niacin and
Nattokinase (obtained from Even Better Now). The result: My swollen
legs are 99% normal. I suspect the E-Lyte may have been part of the
problem and I no longer take E-Lyte.
