Calcium Fructoborate:  A Novel Nutrient for Bones & Joints

Calcium fructoborate (FruiteX-B) is a unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron, a nutrient woefully lacking in American soil and consequently the American food supply. Scientists have known for several decades that the depletion of boron in soil as a result of chemical fertilizers has increased the rate of arthritis around the world – and supplemental boron helps. Research over the past decade has demonstrated that calcium fructoborate has excellent absorption, sustained bioavailability, reduced inflammation in joints, enhanced status of calcium, hormones, and vitamin D, and improved bone and joint health.

Vitamin K2: Bones, Cardiovascular Health, Blood Sugar Control & Cancer Prevention

Vitamin K is an important antioxidant nutrient well known for its important assistance in the clotting of blood. It is also the target of the commonly over-prescribed Coumadin, adding to society-wide problems of vitamin K deficiency. Ironically, such deficiency causes hardening of the arteries via increased calcification of arterial walls. Importantly, the lack of vitamin K is a major factor in poor bone health and new science shows it is also important for blood sugar regulation. Once again, the symptom-suppressing, drug-pushing medical profession needs to get its head out of the sand and quit harming people under the false pretense of pretended help.

Vitamin D Deficiency in Pneumonia Patients Associated With Increased Mortality

A New Zealand hospital has found that patients coming in for treatment for winter-time pneumonia were a whopping 12 times more likely to die within 30 days if they had low levels of vitamin D. These findings were independent of age or other prognostic factors. Considering there is a worldwide deficiency of vitamin D, in no small part caused by the sun-paranoid American Cancer Association, maybe it is high time to re-evaluate priorities.
