The TONIC and Pregnancy

There are prescription medications specifically warning women of child-bearing years against taking citing the probability of severe side affects. Example, the acne medicines Accutane and Retin-A are known to cause birth defects. http://www.ehow.com/facts_4870440_acne-medicine-during-pregnancy.html  

If pregnant and aware of it there should be a trusted healthcare professional already in place. If thinking about becoming pregnant it’s a good idea to rid the body of toxins like Accutane and Retin-A, again consulting a professional. Talk with a trusted healthcare professional if pregnant or preparing to conceive.

[This is not medicine or medical advice. Consult your healthcare provider before taking this or any nutritional supplement.] The TONIC Nutritional Supplement contains apple cider vinegar, garlic and lemons:

GARLIC will enhance the mother’s immune system which in turn enhances her odds on having a healthy preganancy and most importantly a healthy baby. Garlic’s antibacterial and antifungal characteristics make it an ideal nutrient to consume, particularly during pregnancy. Taking Garlic during pregnancy can cut the risk of pre-eclampsia (raised blood pressure and protein in the urine). Garlic may help boost the birth weight of babies destined to be too small. A study conducted with garlic tablets revealed that when garlic is used in its natural organic state the benefits will far exceed any results from the use of the garlic tablets produced today. http://heardthat.net/pregnancy.html

Garlic is very beneficial if taken during pregnancy. Garlic contains more than 100 biologically useful chemicals with tremendous health benefits

Garlic:
-cuts the risk of developing Pre-eclampsia 
-boosts baby's weight in the womb 
-reduces the 'bad' cholesterol in the body, helps reduce blood pressure

Garlic may help improve your iron metabolism. That's because the diallyl sulfides in garlic can help increase production of ferroportin a protein that runs across the cell membrane, and it forms a passageway that allows stored iron to leave the cells and become available where needed. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=60

Are LEMONS safe to eat during pregnancy?
Lemons are actually a great source of vitamin C and reported to help with morning sickness. Remember, anything in moderation is fine; eating too much of anything could be taking the place of other nutritious foods.

Heart Disease & Aspirin – How it Works

  Aspirin:  
     interferes with blood clotting action - platelets cells build up at wound - seals opening - stop bleeding
     causes the same action within vessels to heart and brain - atherosclerosis - fatty deposits burst  blood clot quickly form - blocks  artery – no blood to heart/ brain = heart attack/ stroke.
Aspirin therapy reduces clumping action of platelets — possibly preventing heart attack and stroke.   
The approved dosage for heart attack prevention is 75 to 325 mg.

An aspirin regimen could help reduce the risk of a first heart attack in patients with stable or unstable angina. In patients suffering from unstable angina, one study showed the risk for heart attack was reduced by 51%.

 Stopping daily aspirin therapy may increase risk of heart attack/stroke.

Tylenol and Aspirin Increases Risk of Kidney Failure.

Question: What's a body to do?
Answer: Garlic.

Cardiovascular disease
Studies report that garlic consumption may decrease the progression of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is associated with several factors, including raised serum total cholesterol, raised low density lipoprotein (LDL), and increased LDL oxidation (free radical damage), increased platelet aggregation (clumping), hypertension, and smoking. Garlic may help decrease LDL and total cholesterol levels while raising good cholesterols (high density lipoprotein, or HDL), decreasing platelet aggregation (helps the blood flow more easily), and decreasing blood pressure. Recently, garlic was also found to decrease two other markers of cardiovascular disease, homocysteine and C-reactive protein.
Garlic may also reduce blood pressure. Numerous studies have reported that oral garlic is associated with reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/garlic-000245.htm

Garlic - Better Than Penicillin!

Penicillin is an antibiotic originally derived from mold of the genus Penicillium; now produced synthetically to satisfy demand. [Formula: C16H18N2O4S]

Antibiotics work by prohibiting a virus from reproducing. However, some virus cells are strong enough to resist the antibiotic and forms an immunity to it which renders that particular antibiotic ineffective. A new antibiotic is needed to treat the [original] mutated virus. [The Influenza virus is an excellent example. Influenza A, B, C is the original flu virus; everything else is subtypes from mutations.]
 
The “magic bullet” component in garlic penetrates every cell in the body. When a virus cell is penetrated it is destroyed; the remains are flushed from the body. Garlic does not allow the virus to reproduce; there is no chance of mutation. Plus garlic fortifies the immune system preventing future onsets.
 
Allicin the component that gives garlic it's strong odor is the one that destroys various bacteria and fungi. When crushed, combines with the enzyme allinase and results in antibacterial action equivalent to 1% penicillin.

 
Modern science has shown that garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic, with a wide-ranging affect rather than targeted. The body does not build up resistance to the garlic, so its positive health benefits continue over time. http://www.go-symmetry.com/info/garlic.htm

Stop Smoking & Weight Control

Booster foods are those that are nutrient-dense and exert beneficial effects in the body. Garlic, as an example, is high in sulfur and selenium, and helps pull cadmium from the body (a toxic mineral by-product of smoking).  http://www.shareguide.com/smoking.html

Garlic for Stop Smoking: Garlic helps counteract the addictive properties of nicotine and relaxes the blood vessels counteracting the effect of smoking on blood pressure. http://www.anniesremedy.com/herb_detail128.php

Weight & Skin:
The allicin in garlic is said to help prevent weight gain in humans and animals. Ingesting a decent amount of garlic on a daily basis is said to help keep skin smooth and reduce acne problems.
