This is a great idea. I have been planning to create my own story but I haven’t thought of a worthy plot yet. well, I guess I’ll try to create a story based on Snow White. I really like Sleeping Beauty but I guess there are a lot of re-makes of this fairy tale already.

In the mess from my home renovations I haven’t yet found the article from Prevention (in 1972) but did find a copy of my father’s “recipe” as he gave it to me in late 1988 (when he was 88 years old):

1 tbsp soy lecithin granules
1 tbsp raw wheat germ
1 tbsp brown sugar (or blackstrap molasses or honey)
1 tbsp debittered brewer’s yeast
1 tbsp cold-pressed safflower oil (or sunflower or corn oil)
1/2 tsp bone meal powder (or supplement of 500 mg calcium orotate and 500 mg magnesium orotate)

Mix the above and sprinkle over cereal, or mix with yogurt, or stir into juice, etc. Some people may need to start with smaller amounts of yeast and wheat germ and increase the amount gradually.

In addition, the following supplements should be included (straight from my father’s directions):

1 multi-vitamin and mineral tablet
1 gram Vitamin C (ascorbic acid or calcium ascorbate)
50 mg Vitamin B6
300 mg magnesium orotate or magnesium oxide or magnesium hyroxide
50 mg zinc orotate or zinc gluconate or 30 mg zinc oxide
200 IU Vitamin E (take before bedtime, several hours after a meal).
50 mcg selenium

Note that vitamin E is especially important when consuming vegetable oils.

To add my personal preference: I don’t use the sweetener or brewer’s yeast.

It’s my understanding that the things that are absolutely essential are: lecithin, safflower or sunflower oil and vitamin E. Apparently the lecithin and linoleic acid (from the oil) combine to form the key to dissolving cholesterol deposts and preventing them from forming. When taking the oil, my father said that vitamin E is essential to prevent free-radical formation from oxidation.

At one time there was a pre-packaged mix available commercially (my father had no financial interest in this although he did provide isome assistance to them at no charge) called “The Dr Rinse Breakfast”. Since there were obvious issues in using oils, they opted to grind sunflower seeds and use that instead of the oil. I believe that my father thought that was a reasonable subsitution.

I don’t have the medical knowledge to make recommendations so I am passing this along because of your interest. It seems to have helped me and I know my father used to receive many letters from grateful users of his “breakfast”.

I don’t have that paperback; what I have is an article from Prevention Magazine focusing only on my father’s breakfast. Unfortunately what I’ve noticed over the years is that people have taken my father’s formula and added all kinds of things of their own to it. Whether or not they are valid I have no idea … but they are not all my father’s formula.

I’ll try to check around this weekend (I’ve been in home renovation mess) to see if I can fairly easily locate what I have. If so, I’ll be happy to send it on to you.

If you run across the copy where Dr. Rince is Jogging, please do send a copy to me, Maybe, I dreamed it, but I feel sure it was in some kind of Holistic Cures from Prevention, in paperback form. The article went on with detailed information and there where several additives that are not in any recent formula that I have seen.

Thanks for your reply.

To good health,

I’m Dr Rinse’s daughter and Heather’s mom! I might still have that original Prevention article somewhere. There are a number of variations on my father’s formula but the key is apparently in the lecithin and linoleic acid (safflower oil or similar oil high in linoleic acid) plus vitamin E to prevent free radical formation from the oil, a multivitamin and vitamin B6. I’ve tried several other variations but the above seems to be the key.

I’ve used his formula since I was 35 and in 1998 (in my mid-fifties) developed congestive heart failure. The docs thought it was a heart attack and performed a cardiac catheterization. The verdict: my coronary arteries were “as clean as a whistle”. I did have dilated cardiomyopathy which doesn’t often get better but mine did get back to normal.

Meg
