Fire bug strikes again
• By Julia Evans
AN ARSONIST continues to
operate in Burnside and Ilam.
Last week Nor’West News revealed
there have been a series of
arson attacks in the area around
Greers Rd where wheelie bins, a
car and a for sale sign had been
set alight.
At the weekend three more
bins were set on fire, two on
Westburn Tce and one on Greers
Rd.
A police dog unit was sent to
the area to attempt to track the
offender or offenders at about
3.30am on Saturday. The offender
was not found.
But resident James Wallace,
whose flaming bin scorched
the side of his house while his
children were asleep two weeks
ago, is not happy with the way
the police have responded to the
string of arsons.
Mr Wallace said it took six
days for police to contact him,
and he hasn’t heard from them
since.
Senior Sergeant Stephan
McDaniel said the police are currently
investigating the
fires.
“We’re pushing residents
to keep their bins in at night
and make sure they’re not
visible from the road,” he
said.
He said police take all arson
matters seriously.
Mr Wallace said the latest
attack in Greers Rd was within
100m of his property, just across
the road.
“It was up beside their house.
It did damage to the ground and
the concrete wall,” he said.
It’s was only a matter of time
before one of the fires spreads to
a house and claims a life.
“It’s not like tagging, it has the
potential to burn a house down,”
he said.
One of the fires on Westburn
Tce was also up against the side
of the house.
The other bin on fire on Westburn
Tce is the second time it has
been set alight, the Fire Service
said.
“Hopefully, there will be more
public vigilance around it,” Mr
Wallace said.

Touching tribute
to mine disasters
• By Julia Evans
A MOVING stage performance
about two tragic West Coast
mining disasters had a very
personal connection for two of
the participants.
Burnside High School won
the first night of Stage Challenge
& J Rock last Thursday, with a
powerful performance on the
2010 Pike River mine tragedy
that claimed 29 lives, and the
1967 Strongman explosion that
killed 19 miners.
Burnside teacher and Stage
Challenge organiser Anastasia
Boyle said one of the students,
Jorja Dunbar, who performed in
the production lost her brother

Joseph in the Pike River mine
explosion.
Mrs Boyle said before they
proceeded with the theme, she
asked Jorja to go and talk to her
family make sure they weren’t
going to be upset by it.
Not only were they okay with
the theme, they felt “so honoured”
by the choice, she said.
Another student Aliyah
Prendegast’s great grand-father
was in the Strongman Mine and
was hauled to safety by two of his
best mates.
“All these close connections
felt like fate, it was meant to be,”
Mrs Boyle said.

THE FIRE bug continues to
operate in Burnside and Ilam.
The arsonist was active again at
the weekend, setting fire to wheelie
bins on private property – one of
the properties now being targeted
twice.
Police sent a dog unit to try
and track the offender after being
alerted by the Fire Service.
After what appears to have been
an investigative delay, Nor West
News is assured police are now
actively trying to find the offender.
Also on page 1 today, a very
moving performance by Burnside
High School which won the first
night of Stage Challenge & J Rock.
It is about the 2010 Pike River
and 1967 Strongman mine disasters.
One of the students lost a
brother at Pike; another’s great
grandfather was rescued from
Strongman. Very powerful.

Community centre delayed again
• By Julia Evans
THE SHIRLEY Community
Centre has hit yet another
stumbling block in its recovery.
Another delay has meant
instead of being completed in
2019, designs for the community
centre won’t begin until the
2020 to 2021 financial year.
City
councillor and
Papanui-Innes
Community
Board member
Mike Davidson
(left) said that’s
too far away.
“THere’s a genuine need in
the Shirley community,” he
said.
Cr Davidson said the
project has been pushed out
too many times so it’s a matter
of making sure it doesn’t get

pushed out too far and never

priority” to see the centre’s
rebuild get under way.
“It has been on the table
and off the table like a yo-yo,”
she told the city council at
the board’s draft Annual Plan
submission.
Ms Jones said the board had
received a flood of emails from
community groups wanting to
return to the area after being
displaced for six years.
“It’s been dangled in front of
that community for so many
years now,” she said.
In its draft Annual Plan
submission, the board asked
for the $153,000 earmarked for
2020-21 to be brought forward
to 2018-19.
New community centres are
being rebuilt such as those in
Halswell, Sumner, Lyttelton, Mt
Pleasant and even St Albans so
the board does not understand
why Shirley keeps being taken
off the table.
Last year the centre was one
of many city council projects
that was put on the back-burner,
much to the frustration of the
Shirley-Papanui Community
Board.
THe centre on Shirley Rd
closed after significant damage
during the February 22, 2011,
earthquake and was pulled
down in October 2012.
It was utilised for meetings,
art, pottery, yoga, karate,
aerobics, spinning, lace-making,
and dancing, and was largely
self-funded.

In Brief
GRAFFITI RISE
THere has been little change to the
list of suburbs most affected by
graffiti, except in Richmond. The
suburb has stormed its way onto
the top-10 list in the last month,
coming in at number five after a
73 per cent increase. St Albans has
always feature high on the list and
has not changed places at number
two but has seen a 15 per cent
decrease in graffiti reported in the
area throughout April.
PAPANUI PARALLEL
Work on the Papanui Parallel
cycleway is expected to be
completed before the end of the
month. The cycleway will connect
Northlands Shopping Centre
and the Northern Line Cycleway
to the central city via Colombo
St, Rutland St, Grassmere St
and Sawyers Arms Rd. The city
council said it is expected to
attract new commuters, shoppers
and recreational cyclists alongside
those attracted to it for its level of
service.
STOP SIGN FOR SAFETY
THe give way sign at the
McSaveneys and Marshland Rd
intersection will be changed to a
stop sign. This is to improve safety
at the intersection, which now
has restricted lines of site due to
recent upgrades at the corner of
Marshland and Mairehau Rd.

Ghost cities in China
St Albans
resident
Margot
Fluitsma
writes about
her trip China
where she saw
the bizarre
phenomena of Chinese
ghost cities
Over the past 36 years,
hundreds of cities have been
built from scratch in China to
accommodate for the country’s
urbanisation.
Many of these centres remain
unoccupied.
I witnessed these breathtaking
sights first hand while travelling
the country.
It is common to see bizarre
skylines in varying stages of
completion.
Identical high-rise apartment
complexes void of people, wide
roads void of traffic.
Many of the projects are fullscale
cities where you couldn’t
see any signs of life.
Some of these prefecture level
ghost cities are modelled on
iconic destinations. Most notably
there is a copycat Paris that
currently sits at one third of the
occupancy rate (fun fact, there
are at least three ‘Eifel Towers’ in
China) and then there is a replica
Manhattan ‘Yujiapu’ which sits
half-finished and completely
empty after construction ceased
in 2010.
These eye-wateringly ambitious
projects were the result of
China’s new-found prosperity
over the course of the last halfcentury.
The country’s burgeoning
middle-class had few options to
invest their money.
Excluding real estate, Chinese
could invest in one of two options
the bank or the domestic
stock market.
But as hordes of Chinese
continued to migrate from their
country dwellings to urban
centres, many investors saw real
estate as the most prosperous
financial move which explains
the phenomena of ghost cities.
In such a large and insulated
nation as China, it is difficult
to put an exact figure on how
many of these centres remain
unoccupied though the number

is thought to be into the high
hundreds.
But in a country of 1.3 billion,
these centres will likely fill up in
the years to come. Recent history
has proven this already.
Neighbouring centres to the
greater Shanghai area that once
had occupancy rates as low as 10
per cent but I saw first hand that
they are now bustling at 90 per
cent.
Demand will show its head but
I think it might just might take a
few years.
Readers respond to an
article about Housing
New Zealand tenants
developing a charter of
rights with the city council
Gary Knight – With the
revelation by Prime Minister
Bill English, for sale of up to
2500 state houses in November
rationale must prevail over this
issue.
In many cases the proposed
sell-off would have a devastating
effect on tenants in the Bryndwyr,
Riccarton and Shirley
areas where this is destined to be
actioned.
A myriad of tenants having
through varying circumstances
little or no choice but to reside
in a state house are facts that Mr
English as former housing minister
would be aware of and must
consider this vital aspect prior to
any sell off.
It is imperative that amalgamation
between the city
council and Fendalton-Waimari-

emulates in a master plan for
residents in these three areas
to state their views, concerns
and queries relative to inherent
growth, future development and

Rob Eder – Always thought
cars were allowed to park too
close to the corner, need to lose
two or three parks back to make
it safer and easier turning around
the corner. If the shops are any
good, people will still go there.
Jennie Moreton – You can
never get a park outside these
shops anyway so it won’t change
anything. People in this city
need to stop expecting to get a
park right outside the door of
everywhere they go. Park down
the road and walk to the shop or
better still walk from home.

Fresh water from new wells
A $15 million programme to
replace shallow wells supplying
water to 80,000 residents in the
north-west is progressing well,
with all those residents now
receiving water from 14 new deep
wells.
The remaining unconfined
shallow wells are being
upgraded as it is possible that
microbiological contaminants in
surface water could seep into the
aquifer.
In September last year, city
council agreed to fast-track
work to drill deeper wells in the
north-west as a response to the
contamination event in Havelock
North which heightened
concerns about water quality
nationwide.
Workers take samples from the
new Avonhead well.
City council planning
delivery manager three waters
and waste John Moore said the
programme was progressing
well, with 14 out of 28 new wells
already commissioned and in
use.
“In terms of the physical
drilling, we are halfway there
which is great progress and on
target for our planned finish in
June 2019.
“We’ve already been able to
decommission six of the old
wells and have turned off the

remaining old wells. As a health
and safety issue, we need to
retain the option to turn those
old wells back on until work is
complete on all 28 of the new
wells and we have them all fully
functional.”
Mr Moore said the current
water grading on the shallow
wells was D, compared to a B
grading across the rest of the city
where drinking water is sourced
from secure, deep wells.
The north-west water supply
zone stretches from Belfast
through to Yaldhurst and
includes parts of Riccarton and
Addington, supplying 80,000
people.
“We’ve got an excellent
working relationship with the
Canterbury District Health
Board and they’re happy with the
progress we are making on this
programme. It is a huge project
that started in 2012 and is going
to continue for two more years,
costing around $15 million. In
the end we will have a secure
supply of high-grade drinking
water for the north west of the
city.”
Mona Vale dilemma
• By Julia Evans
ARTISTS ARE queuing up for a
live-in residency opportunity at
Mona Vale.
But red tape is holding them
back.
Earthquake repairs to the
Mona Vale gatehouse on
Fendalton Rd are on track to
be completed by early
December.
But after a briefing from city
council staff, the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood Community
Board turned down a
recommendation that the city
council would cover the cost of
any residency.
The initial proposal meant
the city council would cover the
full cost of artist’s rent for the
gatehouse, which the board did
not think was appropriate.
“The artist may leave behind
some artworks but they would

be living rent-free,” board chairman
David Cartwright said.
However, during the city
council’s draft Annual Plan submissions
city councillor Vicki
Buck questioned how close it
was to finding someone suitable.
She said she’d been approached
by several groups who
were desperate for it.
“There are a number of groups
of artists in residence that do
want to pay rent for that site,” Cr
Buck said.
Mr Cartwright said the board
was currently looking at alternatives
in which it might partner
with Canterbury University or
Ara, which already have residence
programmes.
“It’s a work in progress,” he
said.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel told
the board it would have to find
someone suitable before the
gatehouse is repaired.

Emergency
response
items sought
• By Julia Evans
THE BELFAST Emergency
Response Plan has expanded, as a
result of the tsunami alert after the
November 14 Kaikoura earthquake.
The plan began in 2014 as a
community run response for Civil
Defence emergencies.
However, it has now expanded to
include Spencerville and the Prestons
subdivision, which are closer
to the coast.
City council northern strengthening
communities adviser Christine
Lane said it’s a collaboration between
the city council and community
associations. It includes the Belfast
Community Network, Belfast
Rugby Club, Belfast Primary School,
Northwood and Belfast Residents’
associations, Belfast Bowls Club, the
Belfast Pharmacy and Belfast Medical
Centre, Salvation Army and the
Rotary Club of Belfast and Kaiapoi.
A Portacom sitting on Sheldon
Park acts as a hub, which Ms Lane
said is currently seeking donations.
“The next phase is to do more
marketing and get the container
filled with things that are relevant,”
she said.
Items sought include blankets,
rope, torches, axes and ladders.
Library being demolished
Work has begun on demolishing the
old Bishopdale Library. Although
the Farrington Ave library was not
completely written off by the February
22, 2011, earthquake, the damage was
significant enough that it was deemed
earthquake-prone and not fit for use.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board approved removing
the building and will begin talks about
what to do with the site once it is clear.
Touching tribute to mine disasters
•From page 1
Aliyah brought in a necklace
her great-grandfather had
carved into the shape of a heart
for his fiancé out of coal from
the mine.
But not only was it powerful,
it was personal for two of the
100 year 9 and 10 students who
were a part of the performance.
Although there were tears
before, after and during the performance,
she said it sent chills
up her spine seeing the students
perform with such passion.
Performance judge Chris
Kirk said the performance was
“touching.”
“It was extremely personal
but they didn’t let it hold them
back,” he said.

Project to improve health
A GROUP of five Canterbury
health organisations are
collaborating to help improve
the lives of the region’s Pacific
communities through their
churches.
The initiative known as
the ‘Tutupu Project’ has been
widely welcomed.
Seven churches
from around
Christchurch
and as far afield
as Ashburton
and West
Melton are
Maria
Pasene
participating in
a nine-month
commitment
to educate and empower
nominated ‘health champions’
who will then take information
back to their communities.
“I wanted to be involved in
the Tutupu Project because
this is an opportunity for me
to learn and gather information
about health, so I can then
pass on to my family, church
and community,” said Teuila
Saafi, youth leader of Christchurch’s
Tongan Seventh Day
Adventist.
Pegasus Health, Community
and Public Health, Rural Canterbury
PHO, Etu Pasifika and
Healthy Families Christchurch
will mentor the health champions
in nutrition, exercise and
ways to improve their health
literacy.
Pegasus Health’s Pacific
health manager and project
leader, Maria Pasene, said the
health champions will attend
health education sessions to
expand their knowledge about
nutrition and the importance
of physical activity with a particular
focus on children and
young people.
“We have discussed the ways
in which Pacific peoples can
help clinicians to assist them
in their health journey. This
includes pushing past their
natural shyness, speaking
up and providing important
information at visits to the GP
and hospital and asking questions
when they aren’t sure
about what’s being discussed.
It’s important to assert our
needs to improve our communities’
health.”
Ms Pasene said Pacific communities
were at a point where

they see themselves as part of
the solution rather than the
problem.
“They are willing to investigate
ways to improve
the health of their families
and communities. We have
the ability to link them to
resources and services that will
work with them in a way that
makes sense, such as church
environments where Pacific
peoples naturally connect, support
and communicate with
each other.”

Hello
A taste of Germany
Sunday and Monday are rest days.
Tuesday is “back into business” day.
Wednesday afternoon, from 2.30pm
to 5pm, is Happy Coffee Hour day,
with hot drinks and cake so cheap
you might want to have more than
one. Thursday is Black Forest Gateau
day. Friday is pork hocks day, with
the hocks selling out so fast that
you better pre-order one. And
Saturday, well, that’s the day when
everyone needs everything for the
weekend. Sauerkraut, potato salad,
sausages for the BBQ, smallgoods,
cheeses, fresh bread and a spread
named “Fleischsalat” – which is
a delightful mixture of chopped
smallgoods, gherkins, spices and
mayonnaise. It is very German, like
most of the delicacies that are available at
Café Berlin, a German deli and café at the
corner of Normans and Wairakei Roads in
Strowan. As is the owner, Anneke Molly,
who opened the place in July 2015.
Molly has come a long way since.
Originally a chartered accountant, the
48-year old has upped her skills in the
food and hospitability sector. She has
learnt fast how to make perfect espresso
coffees (Hummingbird), she bakes the
popular bee sting (Bienenstich), a cake
filled with custard cream and topped
with caramelised almonds, and together
with two staff she prepares meatballs,
currywurst, potato salad and warming
winter soups that are on offer at the café.
Bread, rolls and pretzels (Brezeln) are
sourced from a German baker, and the
grainy rolls, pretzels and pretzel sticks
freshly baked on site several times a
day. A few German butchers deliver the
traditional smallgoods and a huge variety
of sausages that are made with imported
herbs and spices. “All our meat
products are gluten-free, without
gluten substitution, and are of the
highest standard”, says Molly who
also orders products on demand.
The fresh cheeses come from
Germany, the Netherlands, France
and Switzerland. Mixed platters
(eat-in, takeaway and catering) are
bestsellers.
The shelves are filled with pantry
items like Sauerkraut, red cabbage,
potato dumplings, pickled gherkins,
German vinegar, mustards and custards,
as well as a wide variety of sweets, from
chocolate over Haribo gummibears to
Niederegger marzipan. Next on the menu
will be Maultaschen, a meat-filled pasta
speciality looking like oversized ravioli,
and poppyseed cake (Mohnkuchen) during
winter.
Although the place sometimes is
brimming with backpackers from overseas
who miss European bread, Germans make
only about 40 per cent of the
customers. “Locals who have
travelled and go in for quality
love our café”, says Molly who
is not from Berlin but from a
city named Einbeck in Lower
Saxony. The Berlin name and
theme of the café has been
chosen because everyone
knows the capital of Germany
– and Berlin is easier to
pronounce than Köln or
München…

CBHS take top spot
in UC Championship
SPORTS
St Andrew’s first IX
fight for fourth place
• By Andrew King
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’
High are at the top of the UC
Championship table with a
convincing 76-3 win over Aoraki
Combined on Saturday, and
were the only north-west team to
record a victory in round four.
The defending champions
leaped Nelson College into the
top spot after the boys from the
north had a bye.
Up 45-3 at half-time, CBHS
kept the foot on the throttle with
first-five Ryan Barnes bagging 29
points, including a hat-trick and
seven conversions, and Jack Harris
in his first start also grabbing
three tries on the left wing.
CBHS coach Rob Smith said
it was a testament to doing the
basics well and playing for the
full 80 minutes.
Looking ahead to their home
game against Mid-Canterbury
Combined, Smith said they will
be wary about the physical nature
the boys from down south
play with.
Meanwhile, St Bede’s had their
first loss to St Thomas since 1983
when they went down 27-15 at
home on Saturday.
On top of missing out on
competition points, they also

relinquished their hold on the
Catholic Schools Trophy,
which St Bede’s have held for 10
years.
The trophy is competed for by
St Bede’s, St Thomas, Timaru’s
Roncalli College and Oamaru’s
St Kevin’s College.
St Bede’s will turn their
attention to their upcoming
home match against Burnside on
Saturday.
Burnside remain at the bottom
of the table without a win after
being beaten 33-10 by Waimea
Combined.
St Andrew’s travelled north
and were narrowly beaten by
Rangiora 28-22.
St Andrew’s spent their first
week of the competition on
the sideline with a bye before
travelling for the next three
rounds, recording two solid
away wins over Marlborough
and Aoraki Combined before
their first defeat to Rangiora.
Now they will relish their first
home game against Lincoln on
Saturday.
• By Andrew King
ST ANDREW’S have cracked the
top four in the Connetics first XI
football competition and will look
to continue their winning ways
when they meet Christchurch
Boys’ High in round four at
5.45pm tomorrow.
The match-up between fourth
placed St Andrew’s and 12th
placed CBHS at Christchurch
Football Centre will be an opportunity
for CBHS to get their
first win under their belt, while St
Andrew’s will want to keep up the
pressure on the top teams.
CBHS come off a bye, while
St Andrew’s had a great outing
against St Bede’s with a 5-0 win.
St Andrew’s coach Matthew
Jansen ​said CBHS put a dent in
their push for nationals last year
when they beat them 3-2, and
they will be looking to right that
wrong.
“(CBHS) are a tough squad and
will really be raring for the game
but so will we,” he said.
He said standout performances
from striker Declan Hickford,
who scored four goals, and goalkeeper
Ralph Clink, who kept a
clean sheet, contributed to a really
good result against St Bede’s.
Meanwhile, Burnside and Pa-

panui will square off against each
other at 4pm in another northwest
derby in which both teams
will be looking to add to their
season total of a win a piece.
Burnside gave a solid showing
against table-topping Cashmere in
round three, ending the game 4-4.
Papanui lost 2-0 to Middleton
Grange and will look to turn their
form around.
St Bede’s will face Cashmere at
7.30pm tomorrow in an attempt
to knock them off the top of the
table.
Cashmere could be slightly
distracted with their upcoming
match against Waimea College
where they will challenge for the
equivalent of the Ranfurly Shield,
the Alex Harvey Industries Cup,
in the Nelson region.
The last time Cashmere played
St Bede’s, they took the three
points with a 1-0 win.

Migraine relief
Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck
It’s not very well known that almost 13
percent of people – including childrensuffer
from headaches and migraines.
It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in
the world and causes 91 percent of the
people it affects to miss work or reduce
their functional capacity. In the past 10
years, the understanding of what causes
headaches and migraines has significantly
changed. The research now shows that
the sensitisation of the brain stem in
your neck is what causes this pain; and
the specially trained physiotherapists at
Muscle People are well versed in how to
treat it.
Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle
People, had this to say about her
experience: “My migraines were
debilitating and they’d often come without
warning. Sometimes once a week, but
generally about once a month. I’d moved
up from Dunedin where I’d managed them
with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In
Christchurch I was so reluctant to let
anyone near my neck. I read the article
and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I
went to the first appointment with a page
of all the concerns I had. The first time I
met Laurie I remember walking out and
feeling more in control. After about four
treatments with Laurie and perfecting the
technique she taught me I truly began to
reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I
feel a migraine coming on I now have the
control to manage it myself, even stopping
them from taking over, without needing
someone to drive me in to the osteopath
or the hospital for an injection to relieve
the pain. With the technique Laurie
taught me I’m armed and dangerous!”
Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained
in Australia in the award winning and
ground breaking Watson Approach to
dealing with headaches and migraines.
This proven method examines and treats
the movements of the first three segments
of the neck, which when sensitised cause
headaches and migraines.
“In our clinics we see people from
as far away as Invercargill who come
to us specially to seek treatment” says
Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People
Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium
in Australia we went to just recently
reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we
do, and honed our skills even more.”
Generally patients will come to our
clinic four or five times in the first few
weeks of treatment. We show them some
very simple exercises to do at home. After
the first few weeks, treatment sessions are
guided by how the patient is feeling.
“Often patients come to us at the end
of a long journey having tried quite a few
other treatments, and we are able to help
them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie
says.
“If I feel a migraine
coming on I now have
the control to manage
it myself.”

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Time Honoured
Remedy
1 in 2 People
Deficient in B12
According to a country Doctor “D.C. Jarvis”
from Vermont in the USA cider vinegar and
honey (CV & H) can be an important part of
a long healthy life. Dr. Jarvis noted Vermonters
who regularly consumed cider vinegar and
honey had excellent health with many putting
in a vigorous day’s work on the farm even
when well into their eighties.
Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar
and honey on arthritis can be remarkable
with many patients reporting almost total
relief after taking a course of the cider vinegar
and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid
and potassium in cider vinegar counteracted
calcium deposits and helped the body control
calcium use.
As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found
regular administration of cider vinegar and
honey at the onset of complaints such
as the common cold, sinusitis,
asthmatic attacks, hay fever,
and childhood diseases
such as chicken pox
and measles, was
accompanied by
an improvement
in the condition
with symptoms
either disappearing,
or the conditions were
extremely mild and soon
over.
Apple cider vinegar contains all the goodness
of the apple in a form that is readily accepted
by the body. Scientists have found over 90
different substances in ACV, among them 20
important trace elements, minerals, essential
enzymes, a number of different acids including
malic acid, amino acids and roughage in the
form of potash and pectin. A scientific study
at the Shizuka University in Japan has proven
ACV to have potent antioxidant benefits (It can
destroy free radicals, which are a major factor
in ageing.) and also the ACV can break down
cholesterol formations in the blood vessels.
ACV and H is a powerful tonic that also
promotes digestion, assimilation of nutrients
and elimination of waste, and helps neutralize
any toxic substances that enter the body.
It is important to note not all cider vinegar
is made in the traditional way and results are
likely to prove disappointing with these other
vinegars.

Emerging research has shown as
many as 50% of older adults and as
many as 25% of younger adults are
deficient in vitamin B12. Scientists at
Rush University Medical Center found
those most deficient in vitamin B12 to
have the smallest brain mass and the
lowest scores on tests measuring shortterm
memory, concentration and brain
performance. Another study showed
that older people with higher levels of
B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier
brains and score higher on cognitive
tests than those with lower levels. Yet
another recent landmark study showed
that B12 supplementation slows the
accelerated rate of brain shrinkage and
declining cognitive function. B12 is essential
for energy production, cell health, regulation of
mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair,
and prevention of homocysteine a serious
cardiovascular risk factor that is known to
cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels.
It can also increase the chances of a stroke.
Harvard researchers found a 34% decrease risk
of vision loss in a study of participants aged
40+ who supplemented with B12. Another
study linked a higher risk of hearing loss in
subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12 appears
to be our body’s ability to absorb it declining
with age as the digestive system becomes less
efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other
drugs further reduce B12 absorption. The good
news is B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin
sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the
mouth and thru bypassing the digestive tract
have been shown to effectively raise B12 levels
in the body.
