Abstract: The invention provides a method of improving the ingestion of nutrients. The method involves ingesting nutrients in two different forms. At least one form may be a solid and one form may be a liquid form. At least one of the solid and liquid forms contains a nutrient team that increases the absorption of nutrients. At least one of the solid and liquid forms contains a bully that is separated from nutrients in the other form and thereby prevents the bully from impairing nutrient absorption. By properly teaming up and separating nutrients, greater absorption of nutrients can be achieved with lower dosages, following the physiological rules regarding vitamin pairs and teams; necessary for nutrient absorption or usage. This is especially the case where lowering the dosage of calcium allows many other nutrients to be absorbed at much higher levels.

Abstract: Subscriptions to periodicals are arranged for via a communications network, such as the Internet, wireless or cellular links, satellites or a cable/DSL link, using a subscriber terminal. A selected periodical is downloaded via the Internet to the subscriber's terminal with the contents presented on a video display. An authorization code may be assigned to the subscriber terminal, the individual subscriber, or to both, with the code, or codes, verification by an authorizing authority prior to downloading of the requested subscription materials. The terminal is of the interactive type allowing the subscriber to select a specific periodical from a list of available periodicals, perform a word search covering one or more periodicals for a specific subject matter, change the subscription from one to another periodical on a daily, weekly, monthly, etc., basis, or even several times in one day on a real time basis.
