How well do you know your vitamins and their benefits? Here, NaturalCures’ expert, Diane Elms D.H.M.H.S., CCI, CCII, homeopath and specialist in Drugless Cancer Care, shares her knowledge. . .
Vitamin A is the often forgotten anti oxidant, yet it is so important, especially for women’s breast health. I bet most of you could tell me what the benefits of Vitamin C are? Probably the same amount of readers could list off the benefits of Vitamin E as an antioxidant. Now I am only guessing but probably very few would be able to list off the benefits of Vitamin A or what foods have the highest amount of Vitamin A in them. That is OK because after this article you will know.
When I studied iridology, I was fortunate to study the Bernard Jenson style as well as the international style of iridology. Bernard Jenson had his PhD, was a doctor of chiropractic and a master nutritionist. On the back of my iridology chart of the iris of the eye there is a nutritional chart listing the parts of the body and then the vitamins, minerals and herbs that are good for that part of the body. Under mammary gland, commonly known as the breast, it lists 2 vitamins. You guessed it, Vitamin A as well as Vitamin B1.
Give your body what it needs to heal itself
Often during a consultation I will note a specific reddish, brown marker in the breast area. That specific reddish, brown colour can represent a Vitamin A deficiency.
As a natural health care practitioner, I believe if you give your body what your body needs and help eliminate what your body can’t use, your body will then have the ability to heal itself. Pretty strong statement but it is true. We do not command our bodies to heal a wound if we cut ourselves. The body does it all by itself. I am always in awe when I think of a pregnancy. How our body knows when it is time to open the cervix and even when it is time to push the baby out. Our body gives us all sorts of signals as to what it needs. Our job is to listen and then take action.
With that stated, it only makes sense to understand good breast health requires the right anti oxidant and that is Vitamin A.
I know there is a lot of talk about taking Vitamin A for eye sight which is true but it is also beneficial for hair, nails and skin. In my opinion it is critical for breast health.
10,000 units a day
You can obtain Vitamin A in a variety of foods starting with sweet potatoes. The orange and bright yellow foods are higher in Vitamin A such as cantaloupe, apricots, paprika, carrots and butternut squash. As well dark leafy green vegetables and some herbs are good sources of Vitamin A. You need 10,000 units of Vitamin A for a daily dose. Here is an example, 100 grams of carrots provide about 16,000 units of Vitamin A.
As well we still need to take Vitamin C 3000 units daily and Vitamin E 400 units daily. I like to get my vitamin E from almond milk.

What you people are doing is amazing, and you are all great blessings!!! --- I'm mad as hell too Kevin!
Hi Megan,
Kevin is no longer involved with Natural Cures and hasn't been for some time.
We are sorry to hear you are 'mad as hell'. Please can you send an email to support@naturalcures.com and tell us why you are mad, and we will see how we can help you.
Thanks
Joe
What happened here? Kevin is no longer a part of this site? No disrespect to your or anyone else. You all seem to be doing a great job and I have nothing but respect for what you are doing. But I am here because of Kevin....
I wasn't real happy when I wrote that last message and I do apologize. I did a quick search and it looks like he isn't a part of the site because he is incarcerated. Correct me if I am wrong. If that is right, then yes I am mad as hell too.
Yes, it is no secret that Kevin is awaiting his sentencing. Are you mad for him, or at him?
I can't speak for meganfain but I am mad for him. Even though I knew this was a possibility it does upset me, sincerely. I had a heart attack 10 months ago at age 28. After that I just started reading, because I didn't believe the traditional doctors were helping me in a long term manner. I read countless books before I got to Kevin's and while a lot of what I read in his book was review...he opened my eyes to whole lot of incredibly useful information. Point to this...by no means could I ever be mad at him. I have nothing but respect for everything he has done.
I am a little disappointed just because like I said, I came to this site because of him and now I find out he isn't a part of it. I truly mean no disrespect towards you with that thought. But that doesn't change he fact that I recognize this site as the most useful source of information I have been able to find. By no means am I going to stop using this site and I truly appreciate what you are doing.
I am upset that Mr. Trudeau is no longer here but I am just glad that here is still available. I will still use the site because of the information and what is being shared. I am saddened by what is happening to Mr. Trudeau because everything in his books is true and helpful. I wish him peace and luck. I will continue to light candles and send positive energies to him for protection and healing.

Hi Eden,
Thank you for your kind comment. Kevin is no longer involved with natural cures. We took over the natural cures website a few years ago.
We are delighted to hear that you will continue to use our website. We are fully supporting Kevin and will continue to run natural cures and we are always here to help you in any way possible.
All the best,
Holly
I know eating good foods and eating bad foods and what and how they make me feel. So Kevin is correct and I am so sad that he is away for a little bit. He has helped so many people. I know that doctors are just prescribing medicines and not really getting to the ROOT of the problems. I have many family members on medications and I can't change their minds on doing the things that will make them feel better and get well. It is sad but we live in a world of prescription meds. and everyone is on some kind of pill. We are what we put into our systems. Some of us take better care of our vehicles than we do our own bodies. It is truly sad. Well Kevin hang in there and I love you - and peace - .
Hi lynellcurenow,
Thank you for your comment.
We thank you for your belief and support in natural cures and Kevin Trudeau.
If we can help in any way, please email us at support@naturalcures.com.
Best Regards,
Holly.
Everything Kevin Trudeau has said on living healthy was true and for him to let himself be sentenced instead of watching out for himself is disturbing as it can happen to anyone of us who speaks out against big money drug cartels etc.. I hope he stays strong and keeps up the fight.
Sherry L Armand. Best of luck for this site too
