Dear Friends,

I’m happy to finally be writing you after a continuous year of travel and research for the next edition of The Truth About Beauty, to be released in early 2007. I have had a lot of all-consuming re-configuring going on as an author, and apologize for my absence, but am excited to announce that this transition will include a major re-launch of The Truth About Beauty… This year has brought unprecedented opportunities for me to share my message and Program principles across the country. I’ve met thousands of you during engagements in Dallas, Houston, and Midland TX, Syracuse, Atlanta, Wichita, Las Vegas, Anaheim, and on the Caribbean. This weekend, I hope to see some of you in Seattle at my presentation for ALIVE! Expo. I want to thank those of you who’ve come out to my talks, and those who’ve shared with me how my efforts have helped you. You have collectively made my continual travel and writing schedule worth it.

Here’s what I’ve crammed into this newsletter:

• Grass Fed is Gearing Up
• Root Canals and Systemic Disease

• PLUS, an offer for those who are being transformed

Grass-fed is Gearing Up

Grass fed meat and dairy are truly a “different animal” and anything thought to be known about “red meat,” DOES NOT APPLY to grass-fed meats. Unlike standard, grain-fed meat and dairy (including so-called “natural, hormone-free beef,” etc.), grass-fed products have high omega-3 fatty acid profile similar to fish, and are actually good for you and the environment. In fact, they may offer a safer source of omega-3s than fish. Who knew????

Congratulations to US Wellness Meats for receiving top honors for the second time, from the NY Times, for producing the tenderest grass-fed steaks. US Wellness Meats will be the official provider of grass-fed products at my Oct. 29th and Nov. 6th Total Transformation® Programs on the beautiful Outer Banks, NC (click here) . Their gift baskets (be sure to try their amazing raw artisan cheeses!) are the ultimate holiday gift, and superior to the unhealthy standard, chemical-laden standard baskets, for anyone who appreciates the very best in “slow food.” You can also set up for auto-ship of a huge range of grass-fed products, just about anywhere in the country. Visit them at www.USWellnessMeats.com, and mention Kat James for 15% off your first shipment. To read the New York Times story click here.

The Often Unexplored Dental Roots of Disease

In the last few months, I’ve had no less than four people tell me how their lives have been interrupted and sent on a detour by what —after much expensive and emotionally draining investigation—turned out to be health complications from root canals and other dental work. Root canals and unresolved issues with cavitations and tooth extractions have long been known to cause dangerous systemic problems in the body. A broader knowledge of this would change how tooth extractions and root canals are performed...read Margie’s account of her trials and triumphs at finally resolving the health problems stemming from her root canals: click here to read more about this amazing story.

An eye-opening book on the subject is The Roots of Disease, which can be ordered from this link:

Speaking of dental health… Fluoridation Fallacy Finally Ending

I am encouraged by recent legislation in various states that are finally rejecting fluoridation of drinking water. The UK has even banned it. Informed people have known for a long time that, at best, fluoridation of water is a toxic by-product of aluminum production that needed an affordable method of disposal (you won’t BELIEVE the chain of deception that pushed fluoridation into law, which is so disturbing that even people who know about it don’t talk about it). At worst, one can look at the historical use of fluoridation on populations to make them submissive and shudder. The propaganda that resulted in fluoridation being perceived as safe, will soon go down in history as one of the greatest frauds in human history, and must never be forgotten, since the same level and sophistication of propaganda is being orchestrated today to convince Americans to slowly forfeit our health freedom. This link is just one well-referenced rundown by an anonymous source (leading to several valid studies and other high-profile links. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to prepare themselves for the other mammoth deceptions in our midst. Here's a link to share more about this topic:

Thank God this fluoridation nightmare is surfacing…

Getting Hip to Hemp

It looks like our government may be re-legalizing the growing of amazing hemp foods and products (industrial hemp has nothing to do with the drug-component of marijuana, but a stubborn misconception since the 1930’s has paralyzed an amazingly-needed source of food and textile). Hemp requires no pesticides and offers one of the most versatile and nutritious resources known. Shelled hempseed is also one of the most important components of my Total Transformation® Program menu, as it tastes like a grain, without the gluten or glycemic impact of grains, and with a totally superior fatty acid profile that makes it one of the only readily available food sources of GLA, an important anti-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid (in addition to boasting omega-3 fats, which is extremely unusual for a grain-like food!). Buy hempseed in pouches from your health food store! No cooking required! In the future you’ll hear more about the amazing properties of hemp including its chic fashion implications for clothing.

Confusing and Incorrect Health Headlines: The New Norm

Everyone is busy these days, but no one must be busier than mainstream journalists reporting on how popular supplements like calcium and glucosamine don’t work. Because to report that, they must not have had time to read the actual studies, which proved the opposite. If you learn the details of the studies, you find out just how much pressure is applied to journalists to compete for headline umph. Life Extension Foundation (LEF) did the best rundown of recent glaring mistruths in mainstream reporting on supplements. I have never seen this kind of tabloid-grade health reporting in any self-respecting alternative health publication. I’m talking about “the world’s top” papers… Learn how, despite headlines to the contrary, glucosamine showed significant improvements even with an inferior form of glucosamine… or how even though an almost useless form of calcium (carbonate) still benefited those who actually TOOK it. The Times then discouraged people from the supplements and directed them to use prescription drugs instead. LEF points out those drugs actually were shown to have less benefit than the supplements in that very study, and in fact are dependant on the presence of calcium and vitamin D in order to work. And saw palmetto DOES work against prostate enlargement, even if the LA Times ridiculously concluded “Men might be better off taking FDA approved medications”. Read the whole article at this LEF link.

Important Tidbits about…

• The new required vaccinations for cervical cancer in Michigan, my home state, has me concerned. If you want to learn why, scroll down to Sept. 18th’s final entry on this page at Vaccination News (click here) and let world-renowned vaccination expert Barbara Loe Fisher add to your perspective so you can make an informed choice (or get your daughter an exemption): For general information on vaccines and health freedom considerations, contact the National Vaccine Information Center at https://www.nvic.org.

• Socialized healthcare coming to California. Californiais about to take a leap toward forfeiting their future health freedom in the name of socialized healthcare, Canadian-style.  Read the true implications of recent legislation from one of the savviest voices in health freedom, and lets make this one case where we DON’T take California’s lead… https://www.thenhf.com/health_freedom_news_47.htm

• Recent E-coli risks from fresh spinach were tied only to California product dated for sale by October 1st. Attempts are emerging by anti-organic interests to use this scare as an excuse to abolish organic farming (just as small poultry farms will become the scapegoat for bird flu). Learn more and to send a letter, from the Organic Consumers Association by clicking here. In the meantime, eat lots of organic fresh spinach! Make creamed spinach. Fold the tender leaves into a hempseed pilaf or any hot entrée for a great fall dish. You can bet I’ll be serving plenty of it at my programs coming up!!

And did you know that…

• Soda was found to be a direct cause of mental problems, concludes a recently-published population study on 5,000 Norwegian teens. The more soda that was consumed, the more mental issues arose among these teens. Teens that skipped meals drank the most soda and coincidently, exhibited more problems than the others.
• Cherry orchards can be shut down for telling us about the benefits of eating cherries, which were recently proven in studies to relieve things like gout and joint problems?
• Skipping meals was found to escalate drug-like effects of foods eaten afterward. I always knew this from how my own eating disorder escalated from “innocent” meal-skipping and calorie deprivation when I was a teenager, but a Princeton study finally found that sugar consumption after meal skipping caused brain chemistry patterns to resemble reactions similar to those we get from drugs like heroin and cocaine, setting the stage for full-blown eating disorders. I’ve always said it: Don’t skip meals!
• Food is more dangerous than Supplements. Properly prescribed drugs kill well over 106,000 people a year. Few if any deaths have been conclusively attributed to supplements. Now it has been found (as so many of us suspected), that food is actually far more dangerous than nutritional supplements, causing approximately 5,000 deaths and more than 80 MILLION hospitalizations a year in the US, according to the CDC. Health freedom oppressors are looking to tighten regulation of supplements (which, collectively, are proven in tens of thousands of studies to prevent and treat countless diseases), while the very same interests are gunning for looser regulations on hazardous food ingredients like toxic nano-particles, fluoride pesticides, and good old sugar. Keep an eye on this….
• You can now buy tryptophan over the counter (again). It’s one of the most effective natural anti-depressants and anti-addiction amino acids ever (which was perplexingly banned for over a decade). You can not only read about it, but also order it —along with several other products that have been proven to improve mood chemistry— from the very reputable FTH (click here to learn more).

A New Detox Elixir for Our Metabolically-Challenged Times

In an upcoming edition of The Truth About Beauty, you’ll find an updated version of my Beauty Detox Elixir, made as a “whole juice” instead of an extracted one. After much trial and error, and looking for a more practical and affordable way to do my elixir for myself and my programs, I have figured out that I could create a far lower-glycemic, more nutrient and fiber-dense elixir using only about 1/10th the produce, and 1/10th the labor using a Vita-Mix. For the new Vita-Mix recipe, click here.

If you don’t have a Vita-Mix, I go into some detail as to how I use mine for things like homemade ice cream without sugar, at www.informedbeauty.com. Vita-Mix is now offering InformedBeauty.com members free shipping, plus a free copy of The Truth About Beauty with purchase if you provide this code: 06-001126 when calling their toll free number: 1-800-848-2649.

And, just in time for Halloween….

Don’t Scream for High-Tech Low-Fat Ice Cream: According to a major functional food industry newsletter, transgenic (as in genetically-modified) “ice structuring proteins” are now being used in some high-tech low-fat ice creams in the US, Australia and New Zealand, to improve texture.
