A Legacy Of Greatness

DR. ARTHUR FURST

"FEW RELATIONSHIPS HAVE HAD SUCH A POWERFUL EFFECT ON GNLD AS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH DR. ARTHUR FURST. WHAT AN EXAMPLE HE HAS BEEN TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US; WHAT A LEGACY HE HAS GIVEN US." - Jerry Brassfield.

Dr. Arthur Furst 1914-2005

Arthur Furst was born on December 25, 1914, in Chicago, Illinois. At the age of four, he lost both parents to influenza. As a result, Arthur was placed in an orphanage, where he lived until he moved to Los Angeles to live with an aunt and uncle when he was in the 5th grade.

Arthur grew up in LA and eventually attended the University of California, LA.

To make ends meet during college, he parked cars until the wee hours of the morning, and each summer he slept on the beach.

Arthur had a difficult time deciding on a major, as he excelled in both the performing arts and science. Finally choosing Chemistry, he earned his Bachelor of science degree, teaching credential, and Master of Science degree from UCLA before moving to the San Francisco Bay area.

He proceeded to teach at four different universities while working on his Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University.

Despite a relentless academic schedule, Arthur managed to maintain a personal life, as well.

In 1940, he married his sweetheart, Florence, and began a family that eventually included four children. Internationally regarded as a pioneer in toxicology and cancer research, Dr. Furst founded the world famous Stanford Cancer Chemotherapy Laboratory.

A pioneer in the field of cancer treatment, Dr. Furst was the first to present the idea that chemotherapy could be administered orally. He also developed the now widely understood principal that cancer patients should be treated with a combination of drugs, rather than with one drug at a time.

Dr.Arthur Furst avoided patenting any of his ideas related to cancer treatment, believing anything involving cancer treatment belonged in the public domain!

Dr. Furst was at the forefront of disease prevention science more than fifty years ago. When he originally tried to present his ground breaking finding on the correlation between diet and cancer, though, prevailing attitudes indicated he was decades too early. As a result, he began working with GNLD in 1975, using the company as an outlet for his important discoveries, and soon he founded the (SAB) Scientific Advisory Board. During his 25 years as an active member on the SAB, Dr. Furst established the "Based in Nature, Backed by Science" philosophy that has been and remains the hallmark of GNLD products around the world.

Dr. Furst belonged to more than fifteen scientific societies, authored more than 250 scientific journal articles, and was named Diplomate of the Academy of Toxicological Scientists, an honor bestowed on less than 100 people worldwide.

Over the years, many of Dr. Furst's discoveries led to groundbreaking GNLD products, and his enormous talent, energy, dedication, and vision are major reasons why year after year, GNLD has delivered such leading-edge products to fulfill genuine human needs. GNLD continues to recognize the valuable scientific contributions of passion and integrity Dr. Furst made to our ongoing product development and the rest of the world.

"Every person on planet Earth has gained from the life of this unique man," allows John Miller, Vice President of Science & Technology and longtime SAB-maye of Dr.Furst. "Every one of us is better off because he was here. All of us who make up the GNLD family he loved and care for so much for so long are blessed to have had him so close to us. He left us with a great legacy, and through us he will live forever."

Pregnancy Planning Starts with Good Nutrition

News You Can Use: Part 2

While many women may wait for a positive pregnancy test as the green light for improving their diet such as stopping alcoholic beverage consumption, and generally adopting healthy lifestyle habits, research suggests that a mom's habits before conception also influence her baby's well-being at birth and for his or her entire lifetime. Because many pregnancies are not planned and the developing foetus is highly susceptible to birth defects and other problems during the first few weeks of pregnancy (when many women may not even realise that they are pregnant), achieving healthy weight and getting the recommended amounts of essential nutrients like calcium, folic acid, essential fatty acids and choline before pregnancy, is particularly important.

Striving to eat a healthy diet rich in a variety of foods is key to getting proper nutrition to ensure optimal maternal health. Most nutrition experts agree that preconception planning for all women should include advice to start taking a prenatal multivitamin/mineral supplement.

A Healthier Weight Equals a Healthier Pregnancy.

In the United States, more than one half of pregnant women are over weight or obese, and 8% of reproductive-aged women are extremely obese, putting them at a greater risk of pregnancy complications. Reducing kilojoules through physical activity, can help achieve a healthier weight before becoming pregnant. The use of meal replacement drinks rich in high quality protein may help boost success, too. In a recent randomised, controlled study, researchers investigated the effect of an energy-restricted diet with or without meal replacements in a group of overweight women. After 12 weeks, both groups lost weight, however the rate of responders (a weight loss of >5%) was higher among the meal replacement users (77%) compared to the control group (50%).

Common Myths About Pregnancy Weight Gain.

Myth 1: I need to "eat for two".

Not True!

Eating for two is not necessary. In fact eating for two may cause you to gain too much weight, which is not good for you or your baby. During the first trimester, you don't require any extra kilojoules. During the second trimester 1400 additional kilojoules a day are recommended and during the last trimester that number increases to 1800 additional kilojoules per day.

Myth 2: The more weight I gain, the healthier my baby will be.

Wrong Again!

Gaining too much weight can increase your risk of having a C-section, early delivery, or a bigger baby, which can complicate the birthing process.

Myth 3: I'm at my ideal weight so I don't have to worry about how much weight I gain during pregnancy.

Truth!

How much weight you need to gain during pregnancy should be discussed with your doctor. If you are at an ideal body weight at the time you become pregnant, the average recommended weight gain during pregnancy is between 11-16 Kgs.
