Please copy for your patients Whole Food Philosophy Our founder, Dr. Royal Lee, challenged common scientific beliefs by choosing a holistic approach of providing nutrients through whole foods. His goal was to provide nutrients as they are found in nature–in a whole food state where he believed their natural potency and efficacy would be realized. Dr. Lee believed that when nutrients remain inta...

Tendon transfers commonly are used to restore arm and hand function after injury to the main motor nerves or after spinal cord injury. Surgeons traditionally use passive tension to determine the length at which a muscle should be attached during tendon transfer. The principles used to choose the length at which the transferred muscle should be attached still are relatively vague and have not be...

Twelve strains of German cockroach, Blattella germanica (Linnaeus) were collected from various locations in Peninsular Malaysia and tested for their susceptibility to three groups of insecticides applied topically. The levels of resistance were low to high (2.8 to 92×) for carbamates (propoxur and bendiocarb), low (2.0 to 7.6×) for organophosphate (chlorpyrifos) and low to moderate (1.0 to 23×)...

acid (vitamin C) is extensively used in a variety of formulations including creams. It is an ingredient of anti-aging cosmetic products alone or along with alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). In solutions and creams, ascorbic acid is susceptible to air and light and undergoes oxidative degradation to dehydroascorbic acid and further to inactive products. The degradation is influenced by oxygen, tempe...

Susceptibility to carbaryl in six Mexican strains of the southern cattle tick, Boophilus microplus (Canestrini), was evaluated with the Food and Agricultural Organization larval packet test. Tick strains from the cattle fever tick quarantine zone in Texas were more susceptible to carbaryl than to coumaphos or diazinon. Compared with the susceptible reference (Gonzalez) strain, Mexican tick stra...

J. Ecan. Entomd 79: 14521458 (1986) ABSTRACï Resistance mechanisms of a strain (MSE) of Culex pipiens L., collected in sauthern France in 1979 and highiy resistant to chlorpynfos. were investigated by comparing the resistance characteristics to vanous organophasphates and carbamates in the absence or presence of synergists and determining the biochemical characteristics of four enzymes (esteras...
