| 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.
