The Wysong Healthletter is now well into its third decade of continuous publication. It is offered free to help you make a better you and a better world.
I long ago came to realize that the most worthy role of any doctor is to teach people how not to need them. This led me away from practice where treating symptoms is the primary tool and a misinformed public has come to expect magic bullet cures. But no disease is ever caused by the lack of a drug, and no treatment—save that for trauma or defect—ever improves an organism. Medical intervention is, in fact, now the number one cause of death and suffering in our modern world.
Illness, in large part, comes from wrong thinking. Health requires an open-minded, fact-based philosophy of life and an ambition to make yourself the best you can be. Thoughtlessly following convention and laziness are irreconcilable with health.
Wellness requires a deep respect for the great unknowns of life and the power of natural healing forces. Pretending that we can command nature and that the body is a mere machine that can be manipulated with impunity by "experts" is an illusion of both professionals and the public.
So it is my hope that this newsletter will help you to take control of your own health destiny, trust the healing powers within and in nature, and understand that ultimately wellbeing is about what you do to yourself, not what someone else can do to you.
(A non-profit educational, research, and philanthropic organization)
The purpose of the Institute is to help true victims, particularly children and animals, and make sure the dollars used go directly and efficiently to the point of need.
Where can we help?
If you know of a worthy cause that is managed by volunteers (no fat salaries to siphon off donations), please send details for us to consider. We have limited resources but if we like the cause and you can prove the money is used efficiently, we will certainly give consideration.
How you can help?
Any contribution to the Institute is tax deductible and is used virtually in its entirety for the philanthropic end. WysongInstitute.org
Exercise improves brain function by causing nerve cells to multiply, strengthen their interconnections and protect them from damage.
One factor improved in particular is the brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, which triggers other chemicals that promote neural health. BDNF has been shown to have direct benefits on brain functions, including learning and slowing or repairing neural problems such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and spinal cord injuries. Science News.
Dr. W: Enough can't be said about the benefits of exercise for virtually any health condition. Your body listens to what you are doing. If you are placing physical demands on the body (exercise), you are sending the signal that you are alive and need health. If you don't move--like a dead person doesn't--then the body gives up trying and speeds you to that ultimate do-nothing state. Your body tends to become what the demands you place on it require.
The Sunshine Vitamin
Maintaining optimal vitamin D levels lowers your risk of dying from anycause.
Studies from 18 trials of more than 57,000 people over a six year period showed that those who took vitamin D supplements from 300 IUs to 2,000 IUs had a 7% lower risk of death compared to those not taking the supplements.
Vitamin D reduces the proliferation of cancer cells. Vitamin D also helps utilize calcium for bone health. If you are not getting at least moderate daily sun exposure, which helps your body produce its own vitamin D, it is recommended that you take at least 400 IUs of vitamin D daily. (See O-Mega D™, Optimal™, Daily Combo™) Archives of Internal Medicine.
Dr. W: We are plants of a sort. Plants photosynthesize, but so do we. They use the sun to produce plant structure and oxygen; we use it to produce the master hormone, vitamin D. We can no more survive well without vitamin D than plants can survive in the dark. Get in the sun, stop slathering on sunscreen, and eat vitamin D rich foods and take supplements when you can't let your skin have nourishing sun rays.
The Dangers of Antibacterial Soap
Triclosan is an antibacterial agent used in certain soaps and in countless consumer products ranging from socks to toothpaste. However, triclosan can react with chlorinated water to produce chloroform, a likely carcinogen. Triclosan can degrade to chloroform within one minute of exposure to chlorinated water at temperatures commonly used for cleaning. 16 products containing triclosan were found to produce either chloroform or other chlorinated byproducts. Triclosan has also been linked to heart disease, heart failure, failure of skeletal muscles, and disruption of hormone function. (See Wysong Bar Soap, Nature Cleanse™, Safe-T-Suds™) Environmental Science & Technology.
Dr. W: Also keep in mind that the skin is an absorbing organ. What you put on, goes in. If you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on the skin.

Probiodent™ Is the Best
"Our whole family has used the Probiodent powder for years with great success-white teeth, no cavities, no bad breath, no gum problems. We all make a point of doing it the last thing before bed and not rinsing. Hope you never stop making and improving this product-which we notice you continually do!”

Garlic Whole Salt™ a Staple
"What a great salt and spice your Garlic Salt is for meats.”
Thank You for Caring
" ...There is such a lack of care for nutrition out there for humans and animals alike. I was so thrilled when I came across the website that there was a company out there who actually cares about what goes into the processing of our pets' food, as well as the dietary needs of individual animals. And for that, I thank you and the rest of Wysong Corporation.”
Ferrets Enjoy a Variety of Wysong Foods
"I also want to say how happy I am that I found Wysong. I have four ferrets at this time, and they love the Epigen 90, Dream Treats, Archetype, and Au Jus canned meats! Their favorites are the duck and the rabbit. Rabbit being their favorite. Your food is the best and it makes me so happy to know my kids are getting good healthy nutritional food that they so deserve.”
Great Changes on Epigen™
"Hello! I want to thank you so much! Buying your Epigen product was one of the many changes I made to my dog's diet. She had been diagnosed with a rare cancer of the tongue last summer. We caught it too late, but I would not give up on her. I knew I needed to cut out ALL starch. The manager at Dogs and Cats Rule in Pennington, NJ pointed out your food to me. That was in January. Today, my dog should have been long gone. However, she is happily (and healthily!) lying right next to me as I write this! I am very grateful to you. Keep up the wonderful job!”
Love Wysong Products
"Love Wysong products by the way.....I really feel like I can trust your company, which is rare..."
