We found that many women were just taking one packet of the WBHF daily, so we increased the amount of multiple vitamin/multiple mineral capsules in each packet to provide more general health protection. Actually, the new formula is so comprehensive that we consider it capable of being a stand-alone prevention formula, when paired with a healthful diet and lifestyle. The minerals that are in our New & Enhanced WBHF are in balance. Calcium definitely competes with zinc for absorption, and to a certain extent with manganese, and those are CRITICAL trace minerals to prevent cancer and atherosclerosis (plaque in the arteries leading to heart disease and stroke). Interestingly, women are now developing more cancer, immune problems, and heart disease since our society has been pushing high dose calcium supplementation. Depending upon the form and dose of calcium in those products, the other nutrients can’t compete for absorption. The really sad thing is that for calcium to be utilized properly by the body, it actually needs all the other minerals to be in balance If a woman wants to take more calcium/magnesium, we recommend that she do it at a DIFFERENT time in the day and take it with a Vitamin K2 supplement (menaquinone or MK-7). It would be even better to consider using food sources of calcium, since calcium in foods has not been shown to decrease the absorption of either zinc or manganese. If you request, a list of non-dairy sources of calcium can be provided to you. • Here’s what EACH ONE PACKET of WBH Formula contains and why: (Suggested Dose: 1 packet 1 or 2 times per day-see above) • 3 Multi-Thera hypoallergenic multi-vitamin, multi-mineral capsules, iron-free — provide all essential vitamins & minerals, in proper ratios. 6 capsules (in 2 packets) provide over 100% of more than 25 essential nutrients. Iron is not included due to its oxidizing effect. • 2 Omega 3 fish oil capsules, 300 mg EPA\\ 200 mg DHA –balance the large amount of Omega 6 fatty acids in our diet, reduce the risk of cancer forming or metastasizing, help reduce inflammation and pain, and support proper hormone balance. Always take fish oils with extra Vitamin E (see below). • 1 Indole Forte (Indole 3 Carbinol (IC3) & Diindolylmethane (DIM) capsule – 400 mg. — active ingredients found in the crucifera family of vegetables: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, etc. IC3/DIM stimulates the proper metabolism of estrogen from 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone to the anti-proliferative metabolite 2-hydroxyestrone. • 1 Ubiquinol 100 mg. softgel, the highly active reduced form of Coenzyme Q10 — acts as a potent antioxidant in the energy factories (mitochondria) & membranes of cells. Kaneka QH Ubiquinol is more expensive to produce but gram for gram has over twice the effect of regular Co Q10. Numerous studies support Co Q10’s role in reverting abnormal breast tissues to normal. Many of our patients have felt the difference in their energy when they routinely take Ubiquinol. • 1 Vitamin E Plus Tocotrienols softgel, 200 IU Vit. E / 50 mg. Mixed Tocotrienols – Breast Cancer patients have low levels of Vitamin E and dangerously high levels of peroxides. Vitamin E in most nutritional supplements (d-alpha tocopherol acetate form) does not provide truly protective Vitamin E. The d-alpha tocopherol succinate form included here has been shown to be protective in breast cancer, and the mixed tocotrienols are the most highly active of all. MultiThera in this formula (see above) provides d-gamma tocopherol and mixed tocopherols to round out the full Vitamin E complex. Always take Vitamin E complex when taking any supplemental oils in the diet. • 1 Iodine Complex capsule, 6.25 mg. — induces apoptosis (cell death), the mechanism that turns off cancer. Japanese women have very low levels of breast cancer because of their seaweed diet containing high levels of iodine. They also consume an average of 14 mg of dietary iodine a day compared to American women who average 0.5 mg per day. • 1 Vitamin D3 capsule, 1000 I.U. — This active natural form of Vitamin D3 has been shown to reduce the incidence of breast & prostate cancer by almost 80%. Vitamin D boosts immunity, helps overcome depression, and prevents diabetes. Sunlight is a major source of Vitamin D3 production on our skin but primarily only during mid-day exposure between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for at least 15 minutes. MultiThera included in each packet supplies an additional 400 I.U. in each packet. • 1 Calcium D Glucarate capsule, 500 mg. — supports the second phase of the body’s own detoxification process (Phase II glucuronidation) that deactivates and eliminates toxins, including excessive estrogen. It is felt to be as effective as tomoxifen in preventing cancer or its recurrence but is safer. Because of its beneficial effect on reducing excessive estrogen, body builders use Calcium D-Glucarate to reduce fat and increase lean muscle mass. • 1 canister, 60 packets, 1 or 2-month supply, $160.00.
