New Medical Study Finds Safe, Effective
Relief for Morning Sickness
A new medical study offers good news for
expectant mothers facing the difficult
choice of treating the nausea and vomiting
of early pregnancy with things like soda,
crackers or crushed ice, which are only
marginally helpful, or trying prescription
or over-the-counter medications, which may
have potential side effects.
The September/October issue of Alternative
Therapies in Health and Medicine features
results from a new randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled, hospital based, human
clinical study conducted by obstetricians
Angela Keating, M.D. and Ronald Chez, M.D.
which indicates that Ginger Honey Tonic® is
a safe and effective way to treat nausea and
vomiting associated with morning sickness.
Ginger Honey Tonic is made by New Chapter
Inc. of Brattleboro, Vermont. In an article
entitled, “Ginger Syrup as an Antiemetic in
Early Pregnancy,” Drs. Keating and Chez
summarize results of a study they conducted
over a six-month period with 26 women ages
24-37 in their first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
In the study, women were chosen at random to
use New Chapter’s Ginger Honey Tonic or a
“placebo” syrup. Neither group of women was
aware of the use of the placebo product.
They were asked to rate their symptoms and
how they felt on a 10-point scale at regular
intervals.
The study found significant reductions in
both nausea and vomiting in the group using
the Ginger Honey Tonic vs. the
placebo-control group. For example, 77
percent of the Ginger Honey Tonic group
experienced a dramatic four-point or greater
improvement on the nausea scale within nine
days. These findings led the researchers to
conclude: “one g of ginger in syrup or
capsules ingested daily in divided doses
appears to be a reasonable and safe option
in the treatment of nausea in early
pregnancy.” Equally important, there were no
adverse effects to the suggested use of New
Chapter’s Ginger Honey Tonic during
pregnancy.
Morning sickness is a common experience with
an estimated 60-80 percent of all women
experiencing nausea and/or vomiting during
their first trimester of pregnancy. In
addition to compromising an expectant
mother’s daily functioning and quality of
life, in more severe cases, morning sickness
can also lead to weight loss, malnutrition
or other more serious health complications
for the mother and developing child. A total
of 26 women were enrolled in the trial, with
14 in the study group and 12 in the placebo
group. The study dosage was four tablespoons
of New Chapter’s Ginger Honey Tonic.

Enhances cell protective activity*

24 cups of delicious tea or (herbal) ginger ale,
instantly
- Great
taste and instant results
Ginger offers numerous
health benefits that have been demonstrated both
historically and scientifically. Because ginger contains
180 times the protein digesting power of papaya, and
stimulates fat digesting bile as well as the growth of
healthy intestinal flora, ginger restores balance and
potentiates proper digestive function.* These benefits
contribute to ginger’s ability to enhance the
utilization of other dietary supplements. Additionally,
ginger contains at least 12 antioxidant compounds and
recent research in India, Denmark and Japan suggests
that ginger modulates prostaglandins thereby promoting
circulatory health and balancing the inflammatory
process.* Our ginger juice is a full spectrum, organic
extraction from ginger grown on our own farm in Costa
Rica.
Honey, one of nature’s
best energy foods with soothing properties, forms a
perfect combination with ginger. Our honey is low-heated
to optimize preservation, enzymes and flavor.
How to Use: Shake well.
For full benefits and a quick pick-me-up, take 1-2 tsps.
as often as desired. Use straight off the spoon, in iced
sparkling water to make ginger ale, or as a tea in hot
water.

MegaFood Q&A |
|
What does Vital
Food Factor mean? Without food, a
supplement is not nutritious. Food has
intelligence, the ability to know what to do
with the nutrients it carries. These are
called Vital Food Factors. One factor is
known as a Protein Chaperone. In 1999 it was
discovered that each protein (chaperone)
carries in its structure the information
(intelligence) needed to specify its proper
location in the cell. You could say they act
as zip codes or addresses. Supplements
without these would require you to eat with
each supplement taken. |
|
MegaFood Q&A |
|
What is Full Color
Food Spectrum mean? It means that your
getting foods from all the variety of colors
in the garden, the greens, yellows, reds,
purples, etc. So often supplements neglect
these phytonutrients and our diets certainly
do not get enough of them.
Is this product cold pressed?
MegaFood uses Cold Fusion. Keeping the food
cold is at the forefront of everything they
do. No expense was spared to create this
cold fusion process. This process involves
using fresh frozen fruits, vegetables and
Live yeast in the creation of their products
to preserve their nutritive value. They want
Fresh Food that maintains its cellular life
force. Cold Fusion suspends and maintains
the cellular life force, prevents thermal
deterioration and bacterial contamination.
All the foods are kept frozen until the
final stages of nutrient transformation. |
|
MegaFood Q&A |
|
Do you need to eat
with MegaFood Nutrients like other brands
suggest? No. MegaFood is a FoodState
Nutrient, so just as if you would eat
broccoli, the body knows exactly what to do
with the nutrients broccoli contains, your
MegaFood supplement will also know. This is
a major difference between other brands. You
can also chew it. You'll notice the texture
is quite different as well than other
brands. You can see the food in the
supplement.
Can the product go bad quicker? It
does have a 2 year shelf life, however just
as food spoils and smells bad, you will know
if your MegaFood supplement has gone bad
because it will spoil just the same. |
|
MegaFood Q&A |
|
Should the
nutrients be higher than what is provided in
a daily serving of Baby& Me DailyFood?
Actually whole food is different than what
is mostly available on the market. Your
getting the entire apple you might say, not
just the citric acid, one small percentage
of the apple. Your body understands what to
do with the food then, and does not require
such high doses. See the question below on
Marked Whole Foods to further explain.
I noticed that the product is not
certified organic, does that mean it is not
as pure as organic or does not meet organic
standards? Actually Validated does not
meet organic standards, it exceeds them. The
value of a supplement begins with the
handling of the raw material. The finished
material is only as Valid as the weakest
link in the processing. When dealing with
raw materials, especially foods, there are a
series of events that must be controlled for
the finished product to be the highest
quality. No matter what the intent of the
finished product, Cold Fusion FoodState,
whole food, organic, cultured or food based,
the condition and Quality of the raw
materials used throughout the process is
crucial. Validation Documentation is a
measure of the raw material now. True
nutritional value should be measured through
the support of laboratory analysis and
Documented Validation. |

What is Marked
Whole Foods and Marking To A Maker to
Guarantee Whole Food Activity mean? One
approach to establishing the quality of raw
materials is to set minimum levels of
quality through Marker Compounds for each
raw material. This process is known as
"Marking To A Marker. The markers Validate
phytonutrient levels and therefore the
quality of the raw materials. Marked To A
Maker Validation testing reveals that when a
Marker Compound is high in a specific raw
material, other phytonutrient compounds in
that material measure high as well. When
Sulfurophane, Beta Carotene and Vitamin C
are at high levels in broccoli, other
compounds such as Vitamin A, B Vitamins and
Iron will also measure at high levels.
Marker Compounds are the best Validation.
It's impossible to measure every compound in
broccoli to ensure its quality. Broccoli may
contain as many as 20,000 individual
compounds. No one knows the exact number or
all the components that make up any food.
Therefore we rely on certain identified
marker compounds as a measure of broccolis
quality. Marked To A Marker is not perfect.
It is the best current method to Validate
the quality of raw materials. |

MegaFood Facts |
|
MegaFood is the first
company, and currently the only company, to
offer "Quality Marked" fruits and vegetables
in our formulas. Specific marker compounds
are used to Validate the Quality of our raw
materials. This concept, created a whole new
category of supplements, Quality Marked
Whole Foods. This was the beginning of an
important step for MegaFood, requiring
Validation Documents for the foods used in
our formulas.
There exists considerable debate and
uncertainty as to the definition of Quality
in relationship to supplements. There are
many tests that can be performed using HPLC,
TLC, IR, NMR and other testing methods to
Validate supplements. This testing is
expensive; therefore, validation is not
routinely performed. MegaFood believes that
it is crucial to the future of the Health
Food Business to Validate the Quality of our
supplements.
We can objectively measure the value of
supplements and assure they are the highest
Quality through analysis of the finished
product. The material must pass a test that
proves nutrient activity at the tableted or
encapsulated stage. |
