The Wednesday Letter

Friend Of Goodwill

When Jean Ross and I started Vibrant Life, more than 15 years ago, we discussed our hopes and plans for this business.  One thing we wanted, for sure, was to make friends, not just get customers.  So, over these many years we have acquired thousands of friends all over the world.  In order to emphasize Jean's commitment to this concept she took on the title of Friend Of Goodwill.

So, Jean Ross is your Friend of Goodwill.  Click Here to read about her personal background, and see her photo.

When she talks to a "customer" she encourages that person to tell HER about the person's grandchildren, while she brags about her FIFTEEN grandchildren.  Tasha, above, is one that lives close enough to us to visit regularly.  Tasha is the daughter of Maia Mulvena who lives in Palmdale, CA.  The most recent grandson was born in France in mid-1998.

So, we encourage you to CALL Jean Ross and tell her about your garden, your Church, your children, your hopes and dreams.  Sure, she would also like to get your order for Vibrant Life products, but she will be your Friend Of Goodwill, and be interested in your life.

Natural Versus Synthetic Vitamins

The age-old debate about whether there is such a thing as "natural" forms of vitamins, and then whether these "natural" forms are "better" than synthetic forms of the same vitamins -- that is the subject of the page at this link.

This debate came to me in the form of a letter from a customer, Dr. Robert S, asking me to review a lengthy article he enclosed.  The article by Dr. West, of Standard Brands vitamins, claimed that "natural" forms of vitamins were far superior to the "synthetic forms."  Click Here to read the initial correspondence on this published in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section of this web site.

In a complete search of the 7,000,000 scientific studies available through the premium search service, MEDLINE, I entered "synthetic vitamins" and "synthetic vitamins" and got exactly 13 references. 

Click Here to see ALL 13 of these references.

After review of these studies I find that there are several references to the fact that synthetic and natural forms of vitamins are of equal value in preventing cancer.  In some studies there are differences recognized between the natural and synthetic, but no conclusions yet drawn about which might be better.  In a few cases the synthetic form of the vitamin is shown to be more beneficial than the natural form.

I conclude that those vitamin companies which claim that "natural forms" of vitamins are superior make that claim without reference to standard clinical studies.

I conclude that Standard Brands, supposedly one of the highest quality vitamin products, supposedly ONLY sold THROUGH doctors, has not backed up their suspect claim with references to any scientific studies.

Arginine -- Improve Your Body -- Your Immune System

Here is the story about the amino acid called Arginine.

Arginine exists naturally in turkey meat.  It helps build up the immune system and, in the body, converts into Ornithine.

Arginine and Ornithine also help feed the pituitary gland (inside the brain).  This gland produces the body's only supply of "growth hormone" and it is this hormone, and only this one substance, which allows the creation of body structure (tissues, bones, organs, arteries, etc.).  In other words, the entire mass of the body (not counting the water portion) is manufactured out of amino acids (which come from protein) but only when there is growth hormone available to help in this manufacturing process.  Without adequate growth hormone you could not repair any of the mass of your body which is constantly wearing out.

Without sufficient ornithine in the body, your pituitary gland could not function properly.

The pituitary gland also puts out substances which are necessary in the creation of the cells which make up your immune system.  When you feed the pituitary gland with sufficient ornithine (arginine converts to ornithine), you are making sure that there will be enough growth hormone to repair your body, and that the basic building blocks of your immune system are being manufactured inside your body.

(When you are young the growth hormone is what allows your body to grow in size.  After the age of maturity, growth hormone is not used to make the body grow in size, but to maintain and restore body structure.  Growth hormone, however, DOES allow you to add muscle mass, even as an adult.  Thus, many body builders will take arginine and/or ornithine so that they can increase the size of their muscles safely.)

For equal weights of substance, Ornithine is twice as effective as Arginine, and for most purposes you can use either of these Amino Acids.

Amino Acids, generally, are expensive substances to include in a vitamin formula.  Vibrant Life has included six different amino acids in Life Glow (more in Super Life Glow).  Few people really understand the powerful role of amino acids in their "free form" and what they can add in the way of value to a vitamin formula.  Vibrant Life could have made Life Glow much less expensive by omitting some of the amino acids, or by reducing the quantity of each of them.    Rather, these two formulas (Life Glow and Super Life Glow) are the premium product generally, and very superior when it comes to "oral chelation."
