How Vitamin C Fights Cancer

Dr. Ron Hunninghake, M.D.
Vitamin C is commonly understood to be an antioxidant. The National Institute of Health has replicated research done here at The Center which shows that very high blood levels of vitamin C can act as a pro-drug that forms hydrogen peroxide at doses lethal to cancer cells. This effect is best achieved via intravenous administration of vitamin C. Join Dr. Ron for this exciting learning experience.

Pest Control in the Organic Garden

Gary Branum, Ph.D.
Pests come in four basic forms: fungi, insects, animals, and weeds. We would all like to see our garden be a perfect pest-free zone, but pests are as much a part of the ecosystem as fruits and vegetables. Although we can never totally rid ourselves of pests, proper garden maintenance and planting techniques can take care of many of the weed problems.

Physical barriers and tolerance can deal with many animal pests and the time, manner, and frequency of watering can help with fungus diseases. Insects are a bit more troublesome but can be reduced to a tolerable number with appropri- ate techniques. This presentation will give the audience a few pointers on how to maintain a garden organically without feeding the entire pest population.
