HEALTH FOODS WORK TOGETHER
FOR BEST RESULTS
Interest in vitamins and other health foods often runs in
spurts, with public attention focused first on one, then
another nutrient. Those who jump from one vitamin band
wagon to another, however, are missing out on the kind of
long-range benefits produced when vitamins and health foods
are allowed to work together as a team.
One of the best examples of this kind of cooperation among
nutrients was provided by Albert Szent-Gyorgi, Nobel Prize
winning scientist. He discovered that vitamin C is even more
effective as a defense against colds when consumed with
wheat germ. Investigating further, he found that through a
complex series of reactions, substances called glucosides in
wheat germ were able to make vitamin C more effective in
the human body.
Dr. Szent-Gyorgi has formed the habit of starting every
day with a breakfast of sliced banana, over which he pours
about two ounces of wheat germ, adding milk. He also drinks
tea to which he adds about a gram (1,000 milligrams) of
vitamin C, instead of lemon.
“I always felt that not enough use was made of ascorbic
acid (vitamin C),” he writes in his book, “The Living State,”
“Is our body such a poor mechanism that it has to break
down every so often with a cold or other ailment? Or do we
abuse our body and feed it so poorly that its breakdown is
comparable to the breakdown of an unlubricated engine? I
am often shocked at the eating habits of people... Our body
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MILK
YOUR COWS CAN REALLY GIVE?
A cow is a factory. She eats grass, hay, silage,
grain and Wayne Feeds. She makes milk. Each
cow-factory has a certain bred-in capacity. When
Bossy’s assembly line isn’t running at full ca
pacity, she isn’t making as much money for you
as she should. ■ The way to find out if she’s
really running at full capacity is to put more
feed in and see if you get more milk out. FEED
HER ACCORDING TO WHAT SHE COULD GIVE
TOMORROW, instead of what she gave yester
day. ■ Wayne can show you how to balance these
larger feed intakes so that your cows can handle
them. You feed the rumen bacteria too, so they
can work harder and digest more roughage. ■ See

must be a very wonderful instrument to withstand all our
insults.”
To Dr. Szent-Gyorgi, the wheat germ-vitamin C com
bination makes perfect sense. “If one is deficient in two
factors,” he says, “administration of one of them may help to
some extent, while full benefit may be derived only by taking
the two in combination.”
Another serendipity effect of combining health foods was
reported recently by Mary Ann Crenshaw, author of “The
Natural Way to Beauty’’. She was able to lose 12 pounds in
two weeks on a low-calorie diet, aided by four ingredients:
lecithin (a soybean oil derivative), kelp, vitamin 86, and
cider vinegar.
What’s more, her formula has worked for others. “So far,
the mysterious mixture of these four ingredients has never
failed to take off pounds, as long as a low-calorie regimen
was strictly adhered to,” writes Ms. Crenshaw.
Research chemist Jacobus Rinse mixes up a nutrient
combination in his breakfast bowl that he claims works
wonders for his heart condition. “My hypothesis was that
there was a deficiency in my diet,” says Rinse. “Therefore,
food must contain everything in adequate quantities and
should be varied as much as possible.”
He has put together a mixture of one tablespoon each of
lecithin, yeast, and raw wheat germ, and one teaspoon of
bone meal. Then he mixes together in a bowl two tablespoons
of this mixture, with one tablespoon of raw sugar and one
tablespoon of safflower oil. He dissolves this mixture in milk,
and adds yogurt to improve the consistency. He adds cold
cereal, or else mixes it with hot cereal such as oatmeal. He
also takes vitamin C, vitamin E, and one multivitamin
mineral tablet daily with his meal.
“After three months on this breakfast, all symptoms of
angina pectons, even after exercising, disappeared,” Rinse
noted in the scientific journal, “American Laboratory”.
Today there are several thousand people in Holland,
England, Belgium and the U.S. who are using Rinse’s
morning feed.
Here are some other examples of nutrient combinations
that provide extra benefits:
- Bone meal and vitamin D. Bone meal tablets are an ex
cellent source of calcium that the body needs for healthy
bones, teeth, nerves and muscles. But without another
essential material - vitamin D - calcium is a lame duck.
Guernsey
Breeders
Plan Tour
The Lancaster County
Guernsey Breeders are
planning a tour to Lebanon
and Dauphin counties on
Monday, March 18,1974. We
are planning to go to the top
producing Guernsey herd in
Lebanon County, the herd of
Warren Bucher’s. The herd
is housed in a stanchion
barn. We will also visit Ja
Mar Farms operated by
Jake & Robert Smith of
Palmyra, where we will see
a judging operation and
Guernsey cows in comfort
stalls.
We will also visit Foun
der’s Hall and Chocolate
World m Hershey, and see
the new free stall barns.
Bring your own box lunch.
Plans are to eat on the bus
while traveling. The cost of
the trip is $3.50 per person.
The bus will be leaving the
Acme Store parking lot in
Quarryville at 8:00 a.m. The
next stop will be Ray Wit
mer’s at 8:15 a.m. Next stop
will be at Hat & Gavel
Auction parking lot along 501
north of Lititz at 9:00 a.m.
We plan on having the bus
return to Quarryville by 4:30
p.m.
Plan to bring your wife or
friends along for an
educational and enjoyable
day.
Contact someone on the
tour committee by March 16,
where you plan to meet the

problem can be solved by taking a vitamin D capsule
(derived from fish liver oils) along with the bone meal.
-Vitamin A and protein. Without a sufficient vitamin A
Intake the liver can’t synthesize protein properly, according
to T. R. Vameli of toe Division of Animal Science, University
of Wyoming. Fish liver oil capsules rich in vitamin A are the
logical solution as an accompaniment to our high-protein
meals.
- Desiccated liver and vitamin C. For years, health-minded
people have been taking desiccated liver tablets as a rich
source of natural iron. Scientists now know that iron is ab
sorbed best from the intestinal tract when vitamin C is also
present.
-Vitamins C and E. Combined in the diet, those two
vitamins show promise of preventing sunlight-induced skin
cancer. Good results with laboratory animals were reported
recently by two dermatology researchers at Baylor College
of Medicine, Texas.
Not all combinations of substances are advantageous. For
instance, aspirin will completely inhibit the absorption of
vitamin C by the body’s white blood cells. That disturbing
fact was reported recently by researchers at the University
of Dublin in Ireland.
