We’ve truly created - A New
Formula For Health Success
!
by Carolyn Guilford, CNC
Health Restoration 101 is
a new formula for health suc
cess. Just some of the pro
grams we’ve created, teach
clients the skills in which to
reverse heart disease, man
age diabetes without medi
cines and how to not let can
cer and the treatments for
cancer take your life. It’s all
about nutrition and how to
eat the foods which can save
your life.
When I give a talk the
question about juices always
come up. I believe in juicing
as a way to get in the neces
sary servings of fresh fruits
and veggies each day, but as
a rule I try to avoid naming
or endorsing any products.
Juice, soups and smoothies
using the whole fruit or veg
etable, including the valu
able fiber with all the vita
mins, minerals and the phy
tonutrients, is the best way to
fight disease.
Research shows that phy
tonutrients, and the newly
identified glyconutrients, can

significantly reduce free radi
cals which cause damage in
the body, thereby end the dis
ease causing process. That is
why eating daily the 9-13
servings of fresh fruits and
vegetables and eating good
whole grains -without chemi
cals added- is the one most
important thing you can do to
protect, or regain your health.
Examples:
Oranges help prevent
clogged arteries by relaxing
the arteries, which can also
lower blood pressure.
However, getting the pulp,
fiber, phytonutrients and the
pith is an important part of
that process. All of which is
missing from most juices.
Apples are loaded with
pectin and soluble fiber that
soaks up excess cholesterol in
the intestines, before it enters
the blood to cause trouble in
the arteries. When pectin
leaves the body, it takes
unwanted fat and cholesterol
with it. If you are buying
commercial juices or juicing
at home, most of the apples’
detoxifying and nourishing
pulp is removed and thrown
away. What is left is the high
sugar liquid which is
absorbed into the blood
stream too quickly and drives
up the blood sugar levels.
Research at Northwestern
University has shown that
middle-aged men who ate at
least one carrot a day had a

been completed successfully
less than five months after it
began with no disruption in
services to constituents.”
The employees not
only completed the transi
tion without a break in cus
tomer service, they also
helped move thousands of
staff members physically
and administratively to new
agencies and new functions
and maintained support for
partner vendors without dis
ruption, all while continuing
to do their regular jobs.
“If you compare this to
the corporate world, what
we have accomplished is a
simultaneous divestiture,
merger, startup, and reorgan
ization involving a company
with 20,000 employees - in
less than five months. That
is unheard of,” said Jim
Lientz, Chief Operating
Officer for the State of
Georgia.
The health and human
services reorganization was
initiated by Governor Sonny
Perdue and approved by the
Georgia General Assembly
in its 2009 session as a way
to bring greater focus to the
state’s behavioral health
services and to better align
the state’s programs promot
ing public health.
At the same time,
DHR’s Division of Public
Health and Office of
Regulatory Services, repre
senting a total of 1,240
employees, were divested
and transferred to the
Department of Community
Health.
The remaining func
tions of DHR, including
Family and Children
Services, Aging, and Child
Support Services, were reor
ganized to form the new
Department of Human
Services.

Barack Obama
Seated on a stool in front of
the small studio audience,
Obama appeared relaxed and
confident, sometimes using
kitchen table analogies to
explain knotty health care pro
posals and to untangle some of
the myths now widely circu
lating on the Internet.
Introducing Obama, AARP
CEO A. Barry Rand said:
“There’s a lot of misinforma
tion about health care
reform—even on what AARP
stands for, and what AARP
supports. This town hall is part
of our ongoing effort to
debunk myths and provide
accurate information.”
He added: “I want to make it
clear that AARP has not
endorsed any particular bill or
any of the bills being debated
in Congress today. We contin
ue to work with members of
Congress on both sides of the
aisle and with the administra
tion to achieve what is right
for health care reform.”
AARP president Jennie Chin
Hansen also cited confusion
expressed in questions that
have come from thousands of
members who have participat
ed in previous AARP town
halls. “Like, will the govern
ment tell my doctor how to
practice medicine?”
Obama said he under
stands that overhauling the
health care system is not easy.
“I know there are folks who
will oppose any kind of reform
because they profit from the
way the system is right now.
They’ll run all sorts of ads that
will make people scared.”
But, he added, this has
all happened before. “Back
when President Kennedy and
then President Johnson were
trying to pass Medicare, oppo
nents claimed it was socialized
medicine,” he said. “When
you look at the Medicare
debate, it is almost exactly the
same as the debate we’re hav
ing right now. Everybody who
was in favor of the status quo
was trying to scare the
American people saying that
government is going to take
over your health care, you
won’t be able to choose your
own doctor, they’re going to
ration care.” Obama added:
“You know what? Medicare
has been extraordinarily popu
lar. It has worked. It has made
people a lot healthier, given
them security. And we can do
the same this time.”
37 per cent lower risk of
death from cancer than men
who did not. Another study
at Rutgers University indi
cates that carrots and other
foods rich in beta-carotene
may significantly reduce the
risk of heart disease. If you
drink the entire carrot you get
the beta-carotene and
alpha—carotene, the super
antioxidants. Whole food
juice gives you six times the
fiber, which makes the juice
more satisfying, and counter
acts the high concentration of
natural sugars in the carrots
and other fruits, which pre
vents the rise in blood sugar
levels.
A whole food, with all the
natural components is where
the miracle of nutrition is.
Not in it’s separated and
rearranged parts. They were
made together and still work
best together as an un-tam-
pered-with whole. No
amount of pills and powders
can take the place of the
foods that nature provides.
So now you know. If you
want to make juice, make a
whole food juice, and get on
the sure road to health. I
think that better than a juicer,
is the Vita-Mix. As always, if
you want more information,
please call me or visit my
website.
Remember, Health is
Wealth. But also, Health is a
Choice. Your Choice.

AARP Bulletin Today
President Obama again took
his appeal for health care
reform directly to the
American people Tuesday, this
time at a telephone town hall
meeting at AARP’s
Washington headquarters
where he answered questions
from older men and women
concerned about how pro
posed changes to the current
health system would affect
them.
“Nobody’s trying to
change what does work in the
system,” Obama told the esti
mated 180,000 listeners. “We
are trying to change what
doesn’t work in the system.”
In the face of growing
public skepticism and con
gressional delay, the president
used his 75-minute town hall
to address the concerns of
callers from across the country
and to answer recurring ques
tions—including the bizarre
charge that every five years
government bureaucrats
would visit all older
Americans to counsel them on
ending their lives early. Will
care be rationed? Is America
heading toward socialized
medicine and a system like
Canada’s? Will Medicare ben
efits be cut?
“Nobody is talking about
cutting Medicare benefits. I
just want to make that
absolutely clear,” he said
emphatically.

Extraordinary Service to

their outstanding work dur

Department of Behavioral
Health and Developmental
Disabilities, the Department

“This is only the sec

stands as a real testament to
those who worked hard for
the benefit of Georgia’s most
vulnerable citizens,” said
Governor Perdue. “Thanks
