Michael Mooney has worked in the field of health and nutrition for over 30 years. He served eight terms as Political Committee Chairperson and Co-Chairperson of the Northern California Chapter of the National Nutritional Foods Association. Mooney has been interviewed as an expert in Sports Illustrated and on more than 60 radio and television shows, including ABC, NBC, FOX, KPFK, Discovery Channel and was referenced as such on Good Morning America.
A childhood plagued with health problems forced Michael Mooney to find natural health care solutions. As his health improved, his passion for nutrition attracted the attention of his biochemist father and in 1977 they co-founded SuperNutrition Life Extension Research, an organization to research nutrition and dietary supplements, lifestyle and exercise to improve health, intelligence and extend one’s lifespan.
Mooney worked in a national grassroots lobbying organization to pass 1994’s Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act opposing the Food and Drug Administration’s attempt to regulate dietary supplements as prescription items. His efforts contributed to the largest letter-writing campaign to Congress in history, generating over one million letters and garnering him four awards including Activist of the Year from Citizens For Health.
In 1999, Michael Mooney and long-term HIV survivor Nelson Vergel co-authored, “Built To Survive: A Comprehensive Guide to the Medical Use of Anabolic Hormones, Nutrition & Exercise for HIV(+) Men and Women. The book served the needs of patients and doctors with easy to understand language and 407 medical references. It has 12, 5-star consumer reviews and three medical doctor’s reviews on Amazon. All profits are donated to HIV research.
Mooney continues to break ground with his natural health, wellness and supplement reports. His articles can be seen in many health publications including Medibolics magazine online among others.
The World Health Organization, after balking at the lack of confirmed safety data for the vaccine, now promotes it but acknowledges that with such a large amount of an experimental vaccine that contains mercury being distributed, keeping track of people that experience adverse effects will be difficult. Since the vaccine contains 25 mcg of mercury, (2 ½ times more than the Environmental Protection Agency says is safe for a 200 pound person and 5 times more than is safe for a 100 pound person) ) even if rare, it’s possible that you may experience toxic effects to the nervous system, that could be subtle and hard to trace to the vaccine.
Q. I’m worried over side effects from the swine flu vaccine after seeing a girl on TV with severe nerve problems. Is there anything else I can do?
A. Your concern is valid. I watched the YOUTUBE video of that woman, titled, “Woman develops neurological disease after regular flu shot.” Even if it’s a rare occurrence, it’s shocking to see what can happen when mercury-laden vaccines are injected into humans! Mercury is a nerve poison.
If Not The Swine Flu Vaccine, WHAT?
World authority and head of the Vitamin D Council, Dr. John Cannell and other leading nutritionally-oriented medical doctors find in general that people who take 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day, don’t get sick and don’t get the swine flu. These doctors report that while the average doctor sees about 10 new swine flu cases per week, doctors who give their patients vitamin D blood tests and prescribe vitamin D accordingly—are seeing none.
Dr. John Cannell provides detail in videos on YOUTUBE. He says that the body’s natural antibiotics; anti-microbial peptides are turned on by vitamin D, but only if you have enough and most people don’t get enough, from food, supplements or from your skin producing it after sun- light exposure (about 85% of your body needs exposure to UV-B rays of the sun between 10 AM—2 PM on a summer day); during the winter no one’s body makes enough vitamin D. Those with darker skin have less vitamin D than those with lighter skin as skin melanin blocks vitamin D production. The older we get the less vitamin D we make.
Ask your doctor for a blood test called “OH-vitamin D” to see if you are getting enough vitamin D. If ‘yes’ your blood test will measure 40 to 60 ng/ml; most people measure about 10-20 ng/ml. Each 1,000 IU of supplement vitamin D increases blood levels about 10ng, so it can take several thousand IU of supplemental vitamin D to get blood levels up to 50 ng.
The Importance of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is important for several aspects of optimal health, including reducing the risk of breast, prostate and other cancers, absorbing calcium and keeping bones healthy, optimal muscle strength, increasing fat burning and keeping the brain healthy. Studies on mental health report that people with optimal vitamin D blood levels are happier with better moods.
Q. Does taking vitamins above RDA levels help health more?
A. YES. Research over 60 years show that RDA vitamin levels keep away nutritional deficiency diseases such as scurvy and rickets. But to get super- effects of vitamins, you need higher potencies than the 65-year old RDA’s of vitamins. More powerful potencies, ”anti-aging potencies” slow premature aging that doesn’t have to occur if you have enough vitamins and live an anti-aging lifestyle (eat whole natural foods, get regular exercise, control stress levels).
Examples of anti-aging vitamin effects are smoother glowing skin and thicker, fuller hair, keeping your memory strong and your mind clear, being able to handle stress more calmly and not getting sick. You will have to search health food stores to find anti-aging potency multi-vitamins. When the potencies are high enough, within two weeks, you’ll easily feel more energetic, more upbeat, more mentally clear, and you’ll start to look like a billion dollars.
