Dear Reader,

Years ago, a natural medicine physician here in Baltimore held regular

" cocktail hours " for many of his patients. But he wasn't serving the sort of

cocktail you're probably thinking.

I'm talking about the now-deceased physician, Dr. Myers who

pioneered a nutrient IV therapy that has come to be known as the Myers

Cocktail. He served this vitamin/mineral " cocktail " to his patients with

fibromyalgia and numerous other chronic conditions with overwhelming success

for 25 years before he passed away in 1984.

Dr. Myers didn't actively promote his cocktail, run double-blind

experiments to study it, or fight the uphill and often thankless battle to

convince traditional physicians of his therapy's effectiveness. He merely

wanted to serve his patients in the best way he knew how. But because he

wasn't focused on getting the word out about his treatment, when Dr. Myers

passed away, the cocktail could very well have faded into extinction.

However, after Dr. Myers passed on, another Baltimore natural medicine

physician and colleague of Dr. 's named Dr. Alan Gaby started getting

phone calls inquiring about this mysterious cocktail. And thanks to Dr. Gaby

and Dr. picking up where Dr. Myers left off, and taking those steps

he didn't to inform people about this impressive formula, we now know more

than ever about the Myers cocktail and what it can do.

The more official term for this therapy is IVFM, and it is a high-dose

combination of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium. Dr.

Gaby has made some modifications to the original formula, including boosting

the doses of magnesium and vitamin C. He now administers the modified Myers

Cocktail to patients with asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including

chronic fatigue syndrome), muscle spasms, upper respiratory tract

infections, chronic sinusitis, and seasonal allergic rhinitis, in addition

to fibromyalgia.

Dr. uses the therapy as well, and both doctors, along with many

of their colleagues, have found that their patients with chronic diseases in

particular have responded quite well.

Thousands of patients around the country have experienced relief using

the Myers Cocktail. It appears to be safe as long as it is carried out by a

natural medicine physician (it is not intended to be a do-it-yourself

solution).

Patients have reported feeling a slight pinch followed by a warm

sensation at the injection site. It takes just 10 to 15 minutes, and can be

done as often as once a week or as infrequently as once a month. But it is a

therapy that requires follow-up: Many patients report that after a month,

their symptoms begin to return. Also, while some get immediate relief, for

others, it takes as much as six to eight weeks to feel a difference. IVMT

can cost anywhere from $15 to $100 per session, but some insurance providers

may cover at least part of that cost.

DIABETES...ALMOST COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE

One of America's most common killers is almost completely preventable.

Diabetes. It's one of the most common health concerns we face today. In

fact, a full one third of us risk the adult onset (type 2) variety of this

widespread killer - and the sugarless lifetime of dieting, exercise and

prescription drugs that goes with it. However, this doesn't have to be the

case. Discover 10 natural ways to tell if you're at risk - and proven

secrets to stopping it before it strikes, visit:

Sweet solutions

Q: I've heard some interesting things about sugar cane extract lately.

I always thought sugar was bad for you, but it seems that may not

necessarily be the case. Is this true or is it just a sugar industry ploy?

JVW: Sugar is indeed bad for you when it is processed and refined.

Basically, anything ending in " ose " on an ingredient label -- including

sucrose, fructose, and glucose (as well as their cousin, corn syrup) -- has

had its natural goodness removed, leaving a product that severely inhibits

the immune system and compromises the body in many ways.

That being said, it is true that not all sugars are bad for you. In

fact, some can be extremely helpful. For example, a sugar cane extract

called policosanol is an excellent alternative to cholesterol-lowering

statin drugs. It also appears to be effective at lowering triglyceride

levels.

Another sugar cane extract that does the body good is D-mannose, which

is naturally found in cranberry juice and is often used to treat e.coli, the

common cause of most bladder infections. The e.coli bacteria stick to the

D-mannose instead of sticking to your bladder walls, which allows your body

to eliminate them during urination. This process appears to be a common job

that simple sugars perform, making them beneficial for eliminating all sorts

of bacteria from your system.

Xylitol is also on the list of helpful simple sugars. One of my

colleagues reports a 93 percent reduction in ear and sinus infections in his

patients who use an intranasal spray made from xylitol. In another form,

xylitol can actually prevent tooth decay, and some manufacturers have even

added it to breath mints and chewing gum.

Then there are polysaccharides, which are simple sugars that combine

in metabolic " chains " and cause immune cells to be more active and vigilant

against bacteria and other germs. Echinacea, a well-known immune-boosting

herb, is a rich source of polysaccharides.

There is actually an entire field of study, called " glycobiology, "

based on examining these and other simple sugars in order to better

understand their bacteria-fighting and other health-preserving potential.

Many of the sugars I've mentioned here are readily available at

natural food stores, or through a compounding pharmacist.

What is...fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that is marked by pain, stiffness,

disturbed sleep, and fatigue. While the cause is not known, there is often a

trigger event before onset of symptoms, such as a bacterial or viral

infection, hyperthyroidism, development of another chronic condition such as

rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, or even a car accident or other traumatic

event. It is believed that as many as 8 million people in the U.S. alone

have the condition, many of them women.

To say that the condition is a mystery is an understatement. Many

patients must face doctor after doctor who responds as if the symptoms are

either non-existent or psychosomatic. Then, treatment options are limited --

and often ineffective.

This is why trying IVMT (the Myers Cocktail) is an attractive option

for many sufferers, especially if they aren't getting relief from anything

else and are faced with health care providers who are less than sympathetic

to their situation.

Yours in good health,

Ross

Thank you for your prayers.  My understanding now is not that the inocculation

would not be the H1N1/flu shot but some other type of preventive inocculation

that would apply to both the infant and the DIL.  Not sure that that means, but

that was the last word.

Keeping the son of your lifelong friend in Bakersfield California in our

prayers today. It is a beautiful Sunday here deep in the heart of Texas and

I will light a candle for him tonight. On a side note, I think I agree with

your friend's daughter in law. If not only for the fact that the vaccine

will not do any good at this point because the exposure has already

occurred.

Peacefully yours,

Hello Everyone -

I got word yesterday that the son of a lifelong friend was taken to the

hospital with pneumonia, was placed in ICU, went into a coma, and had been

put on life support. Today the word was he was life flighted from the son's

local hospital to one in Bakersfield, CA (I live in IL as does my friend -

she and her husband flew out to CA yesterday evening). The word tonight

from my friend is that her son, who is in his early 30's and just celebrated

his infant son's first birthday, has H1N1 and pneumonia. My friend and the

family is not allowed to go into the ICU room because of possibility of

infection (both to him and from him) but they can at last see him through

the windows of the room, although he is still in a coma. 's wife has

been told that giving their child the H1N1 inocculation is imperative at

this point, but she is refusing (I know we all had the major discussion a

few months ago about flu shots). Please put , and his family, in

your thoughts and prayers - he is a terrific kid and has so much in his life

now.

Thanks.

Sherry (and Josh)
