According
to Natural
News, the well-known author and supporter of the raw-vegan lifestyle
David Wolfe (www.davidwolfe.com) states that, "Calcium does not build
bones. This is one of the biggest misconceptions ever." He says that
silicon and magnesium are the keys to increasing bone density. So, stop taking
calcium and start taking silicon and magnesium to increase your bone density.
Foods
that contain silicon include bell peppers, soybeans, leafy green vegetables,
whole grains, alfalfa, beets, brown rice, rice bran, rice hulls, rolled oats,
nettles, hemp leaf and horsetail. Be careful where you source your food from
though, as most soybeans grown in the U.S. are GMO.
Magnesium
is found in nuts such as cashews, almonds, macadamia and cacao. Foods like
halibut, avocados, oatmeal, baked potatoes and spinach also contain magnesium.
Make sure you are adding plenty of green leafy vegetables to your diet, as they
are foods rich in magnesium. They are also a good source for calcium and
silicon.
Raw
chocolate and cacao are not only a great source of magnesium; they are also
beneficial for the teeth, as chocolate destroys Streptococcus, an
organism that causes cavities. According to David, the tooth's worst enemy is
sugar; chocolate itself is beneficial.
David
Wolfe's Superfoods:
David
recommends including super foods and herbs in your diet by adding them (in
powder form) to meals or by brewing teas with these beneficial herbs and foods.
He recommends 1-3 capsules of silica from horsetail extract daily. The herbs
and superfoods contain all the vitamin, mineral and protein requirements,
glyconutrient requirements, essential fatty acid requirements, immune system
requirements and more.
David's
top super herbs include: vanilla bean, pau d'arco, cat's claw, chanca piedra,
camu camu berry and horsetail.

A
new study appearing in the journal Anticancer Research lays out the
simple, powerful truth about vitamin D. A typical adult needs 4,000 - 8,000 IUs
of vitamin D each day to prevent cancer, MS and type-1 diabetes, not the
ridiculously low 400 - 800 IUs recommended by the U.S. government.
The
new research was conducted by scientists at the University of California, San
Diego, School of Medicine and Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha.
It is groundbreaking research, because it establishes the relationship between
vitamin D dosage and circulating vitamin D levels in the blood.
This
is a first. It is crucial information for the healthcare revolution that will
be necessary to save states and nations from total healthcare bankruptcy in the
coming years. Vitamin D turns out to be one of the simplest, safest and most
affordable ways to prevent degenerative disease and sharply reduce long-term
healthcare costs.
