Your Animal's Health -- With Dr. Wendell O. Belfield The researchers are now combining specific nutrients that counter a specific individuals like the late Dr. Linus Pauling, two time nobel prize winner, http://www.belfield.com/article10.html
Extractions: D uring 1994 there was a movement by special interest groups to enact legislation to require that vitamins, minerals and herbs above specified levels be prescribed by medical professionals. This would have denied the rights of individuals to seek alternatives to drugs and other conventional medical therapies. This movement was soundly defeated by irate individuals who wanted the right to choose the course of their health. One argument against megavitamin therapy is that high doses of certain vitamins are toxic and may cause negative reactions. A major study, however, indicates that a total number of fatalities from overdoses of major pharmaceutical drugs for the eight-year reporting period from 1983 to 1990 equals 2,556, whereas the total number of fatalities resulting from high doses of vitamin supplements during the same period is zero. This same scenario has existed in veterinary medicine for decades, I know, because I have been the subject of controversy because of my nutritional concepts. Those of us in the veterinary profession involved in meganutrition were concerned that this attempt to regulate nutritional supplements would be imposed on the pet owners, who also have the right to choose the course of health for their pets. Since the defeat of the proposition to control supplemental nutrients in 1994, there have been numerous positive reports about the merits of nutrients in the treatment, prevention and control of specific diseases. There is the term "Nutraceutical" that is now being applied to these nutrients that are being employed against diseases. The researchers are now combining specific nutrients that counter a specific condition eliminating the need of consuming multiple pills.

Will the patron be satisfied with birth and death dates and a quick summary of significant events and accomplishments, or will he or she require an extensive scholarly examination, complete with bibliographic references, to launch a major research project? Is the subject a contemporary figure, or a deceased notable (or not so notable)?

Extractions: Karl M. Bunday One of the most laughable defenses of the government-operated school system, sure to come from the keyboard of hundreds of people who participate in on-line discussion of education policy, is the notion that Nobel Prize winners and other eminent persons prove the effectiveness of our school system. Well, what do the Nobel Prize winners themselves have to say about this? Below are some quotations by or about Nobel Prize winners, describing their views of school. If you know another, please let me know Tagore was a superb writer and one of the founders of modern Bengali literature. He was the first non-Western author to win the Nobel literature prize.
