Greetings!

I understand that things have been frustrating this quarter and definitely not comfortable. We all want your account values to go up. Fortunately, for our character's sake, things don't always go the way we want. I am doing my best to position your accounts in a wise manner. Even with this effort it is impossible to get your monthly statement to show an increase when we are targeting long term rates of returns double that of CDs. If all you want is to see your account value go up every month then call me and I will position your account 100% into short term government bonds. According to the parable of the talents that would at least fulfill the minimum requirement (Matthew 25:17) set by God, for you the steward.

Matthew 6:34 - "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 13:22 - "And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful."

Luke 12:25 - "And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's span?"

Matthew 11:30 - "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

You probably already know that vitamin D builds strong, healthy bones. But that's only part of the story - and a small part at that. In fact, vitamin D is essential for all-around good health. Despite it many benefits, vitamin D has had a hard time making its way into our bodies in the past. We know that vitamin D is a powerful inhibitor of cancer development and growth.

Vitamin D plays a role in reducing major medical problems including heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.

Dr. Blaylock's newsletter goes on to describe in detail how vitamin D can also help the brain with issues like aging, autism, protection, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, Depression, controlling seizures, and preventing or reducing the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Now back to some direct quotes.

Vitamin D from foods is metabolized in the liver and the kidneys to form the active vitamin D-3. Many forms of commercial vitamin D supplements are not the active form. So, when you buy vitamin D supplements make sure it is vitamin D-3. Studies indicate that vitamin D:

• Regulates calcium in all cells (especially the brain)
• Protects the immune system
• Regulates cell growth and cell death
• Provides antioxidant and antiviral benefits

So guess what we are going to do as a family next? You got it! We are going to go out and buy some Vitamin D-3. BTW The Blaylock Wellness Report also goes on to mention the tremendous benefits of vitamin D-3 for children so we are motivated for that reason as well. Dr. Blaylock also recommends a dosage of 2,000 IU a day. We just bought some from Vitamin D3 from a company called VRP. Click here for more information.
