Have you ever heard about professional
athletes dropping dead on the field? According to the Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta, 100,000 youngsters, as well as pros
die each year from cardio-vascular disorders as a result of sports
-THIS IS TWICE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT DIE ON THE NATIONS HIGHWAYS!
45,000 of the 100,000 play basketball, not boxing or football. In
hard exercise, people sweat out many of their vital minerals - not
just sodium and potassium. Rigorous exertion without replacing lost
minerals can be fatal. There are sports drinks that are supposed
to replace nutrients lost during exertion, these would work fine
if they had more than sugar, salt and potassium, and food coloring.
Dr. Wallach has a unique hobby, collecting MD
obituaries. Here is one case:
A recent favorite of mine is
Dr. W.T.N., 48, captain of the 'Dream Team' of cardiologists
who cared for the late Reggie Lewis, 27, captain of the Boston Celtics.
(Reggie Lewis died of a cardio-myopathy heart attack." A simple computer
search at the library would have turned up the large-scale study
showing the only known reason for cardiomyopathy to be a simple
selenium deficiency.) THE TROUBLE WITH MODERN MEDICINE
IS THAT THE PROFESSION IS SLOW TO APPLY THEIR OWN RESEARCH.
Guess who pays the price of ignorance?
Dr. W.T.N. taught at Harvard, was cardiac
expert for NBA, and finished the Boston Marathon three times. You
guessed it- he died one and a half years after Reggie from the same
type of heart attack. Dr. W.T.N. forgot that the human body needs
something more than drugs, pacemakers and surgery. They both died
from mineral deficiencies.
Why are athletes dropping dead at early
ages? Why are they not faring as well compared to couch potato's?
That's because athlete's sweat more in 5 years than couch potato's
do in 75 years. And when you sweat your not just sweating out water
or Gatorade, your sweating out a soup that contains all 60 essential
minerals and they are called essential minerals because if any of
them are missing for any length of time, you get some horrible degenerative
disease, many of which are life threatening. So this is a no brainer
folks...
Who is more likely to die of a life threatening mineral
deficiency disease, an athlete sweating out quarts and quarts of
this mineral rich soup everyday or a couch potato in an air conditioned
den, laying on the couch belching and flipping through the channels?
Now the bottom line message here is this, you
don't need to be an athlete to sweat, you can be in the military
doing your training. You could be a roofer, a carpenter, an electrician,
a plumber, a carpet layer, you can be a farmer, you could be a dance
instructor, you could work in a bakery, you could work in an air
conditioned insurance agency where its so cold like it is in here
you could hang meat in there you know, never sweat at your work
place, an then you know your being inactive so you join a health
club, where you go sweat 3 nights a week. Unless your replacing
the minerals your sweating out, your not going to make it to 100.
Your going to be sick and miserable the last 12 to 15 years of your
life. Exercise without supplementation is suicide. Exercise without
supplementation is a negative, not a positive. Just like running
your car without oil.
The next medical dogma or lie were going to look
at has to do with this salt thing. Believe it or not how many of
you have ever heard that using the salt shaker is going to increase
your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, you got
to be dead in America not to have heard that one. What's the first
thing a farmer puts out to live stock? Salt block isn't it. There's
nobody out in the pasture telling a cow she is limited to one lick
a day is there. And I refuse to believe that my human patients are
dumber than a cow. So I say go ahead and pick up a salt shaker and
lightning won't strike you, salt your food with impunity, you can
salt your body, nothing bad is going to happen. Go ahead and do
it. 98% of my patients love it, they bring me hundreds of new patients
every month who want to use salt and not feel guilty about it. And
the 2%, the bean counters, they say Wallach we love and respect
you, but we have this high priced cardiologist who says your flying
in the face of all the weighted medical evidence. You can't tell
people they can use salt, they are going to get hypertension and
heart disease and stroke.
Well I have been redeemed on my view on salt.
This came out in 1997. This was presented at the annual meeting
of the American Heart Association, not the National Inquirer, this
was in Portland Oregon. Doctors lack proof that to much salt is
unhealthful. After years of telling people, healthy people that
too much salt isn't good for them, researchers still don't have
solid evidence to back up that claim. Now what do doctors call people
who give unsubstantiated health or medical advice for a profit?
Call them quacks don't they, absolutely. So if you have a doctor
and I don't care if they are an Orthodox doctor or an alternative
doctor, if they say to cut back on salt, you say doc, you're a quack.
Your giving me unsubstantiated health and medical advice for a profit.
There's not a single study, not a single study, which shows
that restricting salt will reduce your risk of high blood pressure.
"Dr. Wallach"
