Vitamin B12 Deficiency - Avoid Mental Confusion

2011-12-01T15:12:00.000-08:00

Clear Your Mind and Ramp Up Your Energy Levels with Primal Energy

Fatigue can be caused by a B12 deficiency. Mental confusion can also be a result of a nutritional deficit of B12. Even Alzheimers -type symptoms have been caused by low B12 intake, or absorption, in the elderly, or not so elderly.

That is how important this B vitamin is. It powers up energy in your body cells.

Now you can get an easily absorbed dose of B12 in a spray, which formerly you might have had to receive by a shot in the butt. Not what a lot of us would prefer.

It definitely saves the day when you can carry a spray bottle with you and get an instant energy fix, the healthy way. And that is why this B12 spray is called PRIMAL ENERGY.

Winter Workouts Reduce Aches And Pains

2011-11-11T15:02:00.000-08:00

Winter workouts are harder to keep motivated to execute, I think. Even in the not-so-cold climes, the days are shorter and after work, it is tempting to go home and curl up with a good book. The lack of light naturally changes our hormones. Even though we do not literally hibernate, our energy changes. But in the cold weather, don't you want to reduce aches and pains?

There are tremendous advantages to increasing your enthusiasm to work out. In the colder weather, you can reduce aches and pains with an effective workout. Also, absolutely essential, keep up good stretching exercises.

I have enjoyed the Pace 12 Minute Fitness Revolution workout for a while now. Warm up is crucial because the collagen - in the connective tissues in your body, becomes more fluid and elastic when it is warm. Your muscle movements are then enhanced, rather than challenged, by a high intensity effort.

Warm up exercises can be walking on the spot, adding arm movements, and gradually speeding up your movements over around five to eight minutes. Nothing fancy. This is to increase your circulation, increase your cardio-vascular rate (lungs and heart) a little, and alert your body that you are about to do a serious workout.

The delight is, with your own personal choice of exercise - treadmill, walking, a brief workout routine with weights - get your own copy of the best winter workouts and your exercise session will be over in 12 or less minutes.

Now you can curl up with that good book!

Get Better Sleep!

2011-11-06T13:29:00.000-08:00

Do you have one of those minds that won't shut off when you need to sleep? This phenomena can turn your life into a constant grueling challenge, to get through every day with clarity and patience.

When you can't fall asleep, you suffer, your close ones suffer, and usually your work suffers.
Ignite your Native Power with NATIVE REST. You can reverse this trend and regain your zest for life and its demands.

Nutritional deficiencies can cause a terrible sleep quality. Lack of sleep will then accelerate aging, weight gain, anxiety, mental confusion and can even lead to such conditions as cancer.

Dr. Sears understands the nutrients that lead to a better production of melatonin, over time. So Native Rest is more than a quick fix to fall asleep. The combination of herbs and minerals in this tiny spray bottle will feed the body's processes that know what you need, and how to make it happen.

And he puts his usual guarantee behind this product. Ignite your Native Power and GET BETTER SLEEP!

Chemical Free Energy Drink Mix

2011-10-27T18:00:00.000-07:00

Primal Surge - All You Need for Instant On-The-Go Energy

Many people would like a natural energy drink mix that is not laden with chemicals, but is loaded with real vitamins, minerals and amino acids. And finally one is here. Even if you are not chemically sensitive, I bet you'd appreciate a healthy shot to keep you going over the day, and one that will not result in a drain of your energy once you've had the quick fix effect.

Guarana is the extract of a plant from South America. It works in a similar way to caffeine, yet it has an advantage for you because of the way it metabolizes. Because guarana has a good amount of omega 3 fatty acids in it, it burns more slowly, offering an extended duration of energy boost.

In and of themselves, omega 3 fatty acids are a healthy brain food. They contribute to the activity of many brain chemicals. The stimulating effect of guaranine, or guarana, is therefore more of a time-released effect.

Combining guarana with a spectrum of healthy vitamins gives a true energy boost, not just that of a simple stimulant with no nutrition. Real, nature derived vitamins, not synthetic compounds duplicated in a laboratory.

Here are some of the ingredients and how they work:

L-Carnitine--considered so effective at energy boosting that this is in almost every weight loss supplement on the market. In this natural energy drink, it is included in lower doses than you might find in a weight loss mix, and a safe dose.

Taurine--increases the flow of blood and oxygen to your muscles. While acting as a physical energy stimulant, it has a calming effect in the brain.

Chromium--helps metabolize fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Biotin--or Vitamin B7, also is involved in the assimilation and burning off of fats, and aids in regulating blood sugar levels.

Vitamin B6--the deficiency of this vitamin, also called Pyridoxine, is associated with depression, tension, kidney stones, insulin resistance, and many more unwanted conditions. The reason for this is because B6 is a co-enzyme, or co-factor. In other words, it buddies up with many other nutrients like magnesium, potassium, calcium and other crucial minerals, amino acids, etc., to make sure that they can do their biochemical jobs. For this reason it contributes to the production of your energy in many ways.

Six more Vitamin B's are added to this handy energy drink mix for you. Suffice it to say that the B vitamins work in concert, and this complex is well supplied in this drink powder.

The chemical free aspect of this natural energy drink means that you don't get any:

artificial sweeteners (neurotoxins)

food colorings

food additives

MSG

brominated oils (added to most bottled juices)

nitrates and nitrites (added to most bottled beverages)

You have a choice of adding this mix to water or fruit juice. It has a mildly citrus flavor on its own. And here is another advantage. Many bottled energy drink mixes are made with fluoridated water, or unfiltered water. I mean how do you know? It is not a concern for many, but if it is for you, you can ensure that you are ingesting the quality of beverage that you want because you can choose what to add it to.

Here is some more information about a chemical free, light to carry, natural energy drink, if this is the type of product you're interested in.

Add Years To Your Life While Maintaining Weight

2011-10-06T18:07:00.000-07:00

If you could learn an exercise routine that increased your heart and lung capacity, it isn't unreasonable that you would expect to add years to your life. And even more, you can retrain your metabolism with a specific kind of high intensity training. You can train your muscles to store energy, to be used on a second's notice.

When your muscles function this way, like those of a young person, you speed up your metabolism. This way you can lose weight and enjoy maintaining your weight, with the added bonus of building muscle mass. And, add years to your life. Naturally, with other healthy choices such as a nutritious diet and looking both ways before you cross the street.

The news that is new for me is that your LUNGS' size determines how long you live. Dr. Al Sears, who designed the Pace exercise program, has engaged in research that shows that your lungs get smaller as you get older. Yet, you have control over this. A certain kind of working out that increases the intensity of exertion, and the slowly increasing acceleration of exertion, makes your lungs get bigger!

This same type of exercise also increases your heart capacity. This means, that in an emergency situation--or just a run-for-the-bus situation-- your heart can pump more blood, facilitating your actions. Without you having a heart attack or a stroke, or fainting from lack of oxygen.

And one of the best features of this program, is that you can choose the exercise you like and truly enjoy. This could be:

*jumping rope
*doing squats and lunges
*jumping jacks
*walking
*biking or recumbent biking
*treadmill
*rowing machine - or a real boat or kayack
*Total Gym - it can do so many kinds of movements
*Pilates machine
*movement with weights

Of course there are more - but that's the gist of it.

A note for ballet dancers - a ballet barre and a ballet center work is perfectly designed as this kind of workout. This is why ballet dancers test ahead of all athletes for endurance and strength. I just had to say that...

But back to you, no matter your age, you can do this. One patient of Dr. Sears started walking 45 seconds a day, and built up an exercise program from there. So, if you are still standing and walking, YOU CAN DO MORE.

If you are the type who never gives up, you will love this exercise routine which will also result in you losing and maintaining weight. Whether you are 30 or 70, you can add years to your life. (Please look both ways before you cross.)

Nutritional Options And How To Reduce Food Waste

2011-09-28T10:23:00.000-07:00

"Doesn't take time!" is the answer I get when I ask people "what's important about your nutritional options?" Time to shop, plan, organize, chop, cook, store, pack for lunch or not, and then clean out the fridge, throw out what's not eaten, or compost it, while you try to reduce food waste.

And then start again. Do you think you cannot reduce food waste? I used to. But I have finally found a solution, mostly because higher quality whey protein drinks and a green smoothie mix have shown such improvements, and are now affordable. My criteria for these are:

*must be from grass fed cows, if a whey protein
*must be organic green foods
*must have as little calories as possible for the nutritional food options ingredients
*must have some fiber
*must NOT have artificial sweeteners or fructose

This has been a trial and error juggle, but I have found that I can buy a little less of the stuff I end up throwing out, and keep some whey protein drinks mix and super green smoothie mix on hand for when I want to have a smaller breakfast/lunch/dinner.

The reason why I avoid the normal nutritional food options, such as frozen processed dinners or packaged salads is because of the pesticides and preservatives added to the foods while being grown or processed. Other additives to keep the foods tasty are MSG, labeled under many confusing names, and sweeteners or artificial sweeteners. And, these packaged foods are loaded with sodium, but contain no mineral rich sea salt.

Plus all the seasonings added may be artificially flavored "stuff" - those words on the label that are forty or so letters long, that only a food chemist would understand. And what is "natural flavors"? And why should you be fussy about what you eat?

Increase Anti Aging - Endocrine Disruptors Will Stop You

Many food additives, pesticides and herbicides act as estrogen mimickers in our body. Bad for both women and men. Estrogen out of balance is dangerous. Your endocrine system balance is of prime importance to your health. Estrogen is a growth hormone, and can lead to cancers, and prepubescent puberty, robbing your kids of their childhood.

And, can rob you of a chunk of your adulthood if you end up getting cancer. Survival may be likely, but the process and aftermath can be horrible. And especially heartbreaking if it is your child.

I hope you'll try out my suggested nutritional options and you'll reduce food waste too.

How To Get Rid Of Constipation

2011-09-11T18:07:00.000-07:00

Dr. Sears has formulated a way to get rid of constipation. He has, previously, recommend that his patients who wish to increase their general health, understand the importance of fiber in foods and consume fruits, nuts and vegetables, and to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Over time, however, he began to understand that something more effective was needed, to combat the modern processed food diet, and also help his patients understand how to get rid of constipation. His result is the following of herbs, that together provide fast constipation relief:

• Cascara Sagrada – This herb stimulates the colon, which will help alleviate occasional constipation. In a word, it helps make you more “regular.”

• Aloe ferox latex – This stimulates the colon and improves the consistency of stool. Aloe not only stimulates the muscle of the colon to contract; it exerts a soothing effect on the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.

• Rhubarb – This humble, everyday vegetable has the power to tone and tighten the muscles of the intestinal wall, and to support your gut’s function. Herbalists believe rhubarb, as an astringent, also neutralizes the effects of toxic build-up in your gut.

• Marshmallow root – This root acts as a natural adhesive. When it’s exposed to water, as it is when entering the intestinal tract, it soothes and coats the intestinal lining.

• Slippery Elm bark – Slippery Elm is a native tree of the Appalachian Mountains. The bark is loaded with fiber and contains muciledge – a sludge substance found in plants that helps soothe the intestinal lining.

These herbs gently work together on the folds and contours of your colon. In addition, this combination's ongoing action helps loosen and dislodge any build-up.

Don't you want to:

• Say goodbye to sluggish mornings and hello to feeling good again
• Pass waste without straining!
• Beat the bloat
• Release toxins from your body

Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Irritable Bowel Syndrome Or IBS

2011-09-08T16:18:00.000-07:00

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS, is more widespread than we might suppose. The main symptom of IBS is abdominal pain and cramps after eating. A sufferer may also experience diarrhea, constipation, gas or bloating. Sometimes mucous may be seen in the feces. These symptoms usually are ongoing for at least 90 days before an IBS diagnosis is considered by a medical doctor. For this diagnosis, the symptoms are present in spite of the absence of true structural damage to the intestines.

Most people have symptoms in the milder range, and fortunately, an improved diet can usually relieve the suffering considerably.

Contributing factors to an irritable bowel may be food allergies, altered bowel microflora (of the acidophilus type), intestinal parasites, lack of dietary fiber, and lack of digestive enzymes. Eating sugar, refined carbohydrates, and chemical non-foods (colorings and other additives, and foods made from petroleum products) is probably not going to improve the situation.

This syndrome is associated with emotional stresses like depression, hysteria, obsessive-compulsive traits, anxiety, resentment, marital conflicts, death of a loved one, or prolonged excessive anxiety over everyday matters. IBS occurs predominantly in women, at a ratio of 3:1 to men, and the average age of onset is 20-40.

Omega-3's are a type of essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce from what you eat. Therefore, you must get them in your daily diet in order to supply the many body functions that need them.

Wild caught cold water fish are an excellent source of OMEGA 3 OILS, but now that our industrialized world has contaminated ocean water, and consequently the fish and mammals that live in the oceans, it is recommended generally not to eat these fish more than 3-4 times a week. These recommendations can vary if you are pregnant, so check with your doctor.

Omega 3 oils are the components of eicosanoids, hormone-like compounds that regulate blood pressure, clotting, and many other biochemical functions.

Currently, the best source of omega 3 fats from fish, is OMEGANOL a nutritional supplement.

With the contaminants removed (mercury and others), you can have a daily dose and let omega-3's do what they have been reported to do well - balancing the immune system, decreasing inflammation, diminishing depression and anxiety and lowering some of the risk factors for heart disease.

This precious food is also healthy for normal skin, joints,and soft tissues. Omega 3 oils are anti-aging and anti-inflammatory and if you do suffer from IBS, you may experience some relief by including more OMEGANOL, OMEGA 3 OILS, in your daily diet.

A Heart Food Diet - Nutritional Supplements Information

2011-09-08T10:15:00.000-07:00

What is the best heart food diet? Get some nutritional supplements information below.

Congestive heart failure is one of the forms of heart disease. Such a diagnosis tells you that your heart is no longer able to pump a sufficient quantity of blood for your body to stay healthy. The result is fluid congestion that can eventually shut off your vital organs.

20% of people diagnosed with this heart condition, (CHF, die within twelve months. Another half are deceased five years later. BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU: Ubiquinol CoQ10 is one of the best health supplements you can take every day. And, it possibly effects a cure for congestive heart failure.

In a noteworthy medical study, researchers dosed seven congestive heart failure patients with about 580 mg of ubiquinol CoQ10, an especially bio-available, or digestable form of CoQ10. (All seven patients were to considered to have a 94% chance of dying within 12 months).

The results were extremely gratifying. Six out of seven patients lived. The patient who did not survive had stopped taking the CoQ10, one of the best antioxidant supplements for a heart food diet, three months into the study.

Wouldn't it be wonderful simple, overlooked nutrient might make this deadly form of heart disease a thing of the past.

It’s unfortunate, but CoQ10 remains underused by most doctors. And the new form, which is 8 times stronger, is almost unknown. Despite volumes of overwhelmingly powerful research, it isn’t recommended as a routine treatment of CHF.

Deficient CoQ10 levels have been found to be an independent predictor of mortality in CHF patients. The higher your CoQ10 levels, the higher your potential is to keep a healthy heart.

The 450 mg to 900 mg range is considered to be a therapeutic amount.

Even if you don’t have this heart problems, CoQ10 is one of the best antioxidant supplements of prevention.The new form of CoQ10 - called Accel - is 8 x stronger and stays in your bloodstream almost 4 x longer than regular CoQ10.

And here's an exercise tip to keep your heart strong. The PACE® program. All it takes is minutes a day, three times a week to get your heart in tip-top shape.

A Natural Cholesterol Supplement To Lower Your Cholesterol

2011-08-30T14:30:00.000-07:00

You can usually LOWER CHOLESTEROL LEVELS by cutting down on fat from dairy products meat products and adding fats from oils such as olive, walnut, avocado, and purified cold water fish oil. This will create a balance of the omega 3 fatty acids and the omega 6 fatty acids in your diet.

Yet, understand that cholesterol is healthy and necessary to our body chemistry. You can learn to eat the right essential fatty acids that are converted by your liver. This conversion produces the brain hormones which give us a feeling of well being, and other hormones we need. Being aware of your cholesterol intake is very important. But we don't "eat" cholesterol. We eat foods that go through many conversions in our body. As you become more aware and eat wisely, you will succeed at improving your health, both mentally and physically.

Add your oils to your salads, and eat fresh omega 3 rich fish about once a week - like salmon, tuna, and mackerel.

Exercising as another healthy way to reduce the cholesterol in your diet. Pace training has been shown to improve cardiovascular health, as well as drop body fat.And the many other benefits you get from exercise are too many to list here! It's a great approach to lowering your cholesterol.

To enhance your efforts to lower your cholesterol level, add a natural cholesterol supplement CHOLESTEROL SUPPORT to your daily supplements.

ne of the easiest ways to do it is to take a purified fish oil supplement daily. It is all in what you eat, and what you decide to do as far as exercising and reducing the cholesterol in your blood.

Fast Food - What Is The Healthiest Fast Food?

2011-08-21T15:25:00.000-07:00

You know what I would love to see on the way to work every day? A breakfast drive through with "a green smoothie" or the "best whey protein" on the menu. My tires would smoke and squeal as I veered into the drive-through lane.

I mean wouldn't it be cool if I could order a green smoothie made with MUSCLE UP and ULTRA GREENS? I wouldn't have to care about the nutrition facts. I would enjoy my smoothie knowing that I was drinking an anti aging muscle building diet.

Yet, you can make the perfect fast food at home with a blender. A Magic Bullet will do, or a bigger blender, whatever you have.

If you have kids that can't settle down and eat a good breakfast, make them your super foods smoothie with green foods and the best whey protein. With the high enzyme content, they will be getting the best.

Every parent, single person, married person, finds themselves looking at the fast food restaurants on some days. The more occasional the better, but we get there.

So balance this act by getting the FAST FOOD AND THE HEALTHIEST FAST FOOD right at home, for any meal, any time.

A Green Smoothie And The Best Whey Protein

2011-08-17T21:28:00.000-07:00

There are many nutritional supplement drinks on the market. Some focus on the best whey protein, and some focus on green smoothie drinks. When you buy these meal replacements, or protein supplement type of drink mixes, you need to read the labels carefully.

The reason that I mention this labeling factor is, that if you shop carefully, you can spend the same money on the highest quality whey protein drinks, or green smoothie drinks, as you can spend on junk.

By junk, I mean pesticide/herbicide sprayed, GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) or commonly called Frankenfood product, with added chemical, or non-food derived vitamins.

The Best Whey Protein

There is a very important reason why the best whey protein sources are understood by you. I know, if you are reading this article about health, that you already have read about, and may be taking an OMEGA 3 OIL SUPPLEMENT of some kind, or that you are aware of some food sources of OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS.

*Salmon oil
*tuna oil
*krill oil
*flaxseed oil
*walnuts
*chia seeds

The are oils you take by the teaspoon or capsule. You probably already understand that omega 3 oils are related to recovery in every inflammatory disease people suffer from:

*arthritis
*IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome
*Diabetes
*Cancers
*Arterial Disease
*Heart Disease
*joint pain

...to name only a few.

You know you need to eat protein every day. You need to build up or replace trillions of body cells. You want to build muscle mass, and store less fat. You want to BURN FAT, as much as possible. You want to retain heart health and brain health.

You cannot just take the non-fat or low fat route to dieting or maintaining your weight. Your hormones (especially the brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine and more) are made of fat! But WHICH fats? You don't want to sink into depression, or worse because your brain has no chemicals!

Your joints are cushioned with fat as well as collagen and other connective tissues. So what are your health solutions?

Grass Fed Whey Protein. What Are The Advantages?

*Higher in omega 3 oils than grain fed cows
*organic, in most cases
*resulting in an anti aging, anti-inflammatory diet

How About Green Foods? Your Green Smoothie?

I know you would want your green smoothie to be derived from non-GMO foods. Who wants to have cancer causing pesticides for lunch or dinner? Not you, or I know you would not be reading this health article!

Your diet calls for a well balanced super green foods drink that is organic. Honestly, I have bought these things and I know you will pay the same for junk, or an organic, researched by a medical doctor- created green smoothie.

You can waste a ton of money buying “nutritional” junk. I hope this article has helped you out in how to choose green smoothie such as ULTRA GREENS and MUSCLE UP, the best whey protein

Raise HDL Levels With Daily Nutritional Supplements

2011-07-07T12:40:00.000-07:00

The more the bad results from taking statin drugs become understood, the more people want to raise their HDL levels with natural products made from real foods.

Omega 3 oils top the list for recommended daily supplements. Cod Liver Oil is a great one, as you also get some Vitamin D with it. Other sources of omega 3 oils are:

grass fed beef
whey protein drinks made from grass fed cows
walnuts
avocados
wild caught salmon oil and other wild caught fish oils
olive oil

Niacin also raises HDL levels. Food sources for niacin are:

tomatoes
nuts
avocados
liver chicken
beef

If you find it easier, take about 500 mg. of niacin daily.

Exercise is crucial. Almost any kind you like will do, if you learn how to pace it for high intensity, short duration, increasing your exertion gradually.

Why raise your HDL levels?

Because HDL removes plaque from your arteries. Cholesterol is not the source of artery blockages, heart disease or heart attacks. It is the plaque build up and the lack of its removal that is the problem.

So, making sure that you get daily nutritional supplements, or an excellent diet, is an anti aging strategy on your part.

Cupuacu - An Antioxidant Anti Aging Food And Skin Care Product

2011-06-22T10:41:00.000-07:00

Dr. Sears informed us today that he will be adding cupuacu to his ACCEL ubiquinol/CoQ10 supplement.

Here is what he writes about Cupuacu:

"When modern researchers looked at cupuaçu, they discovered two previously unknown flavonoids, theograndins I and II.

Flavonoids are antioxidant compounds that provide the color in many fruits and vegetables. They stem from the seeds, skin and certain other parts of fermenting plants, and they help prevent hardening of the arteries. Flavonoids also improve blood flow and blood pressure.

They tested the two theograndins, and found that type I is a potent antioxidant, while type II kills cancer cells.1

Cupuaçu contains nine other antioxidants. Four of them are glucuronides. They bind to toxins that your liver traps, and helps flush them from your system.

Another is epicatechin, an antioxidant that other members of the chocolate family have. It acts like insulin, helping lower your blood sugar when you eat cupuaçu, even though it’s creamy and sweet.

South Americans have used cupuaçu for energy for thousands of years. One of the reasons is that cupuaçu contains theobromine, a stimulant similar to caffeine. But theobromine doesn’t act on your central nervous system as much as caffeine. So you don’t get the shakes and jitters.

Cupuaçu also has quercetin, an energy-booster you may have heard of. In fact a study by the Arnold School of Health at the University of South Carolina showed quercetin can dramatically increase energy and endurance in active, healthy adults.2

Another reason cupuaçu gives you energy is that it’s full of saturated fatty acids – the good kind of fat. Your body can pack these kinds of fats together very tightly. This let’s your body store a lot of energy very densely.

Your body also uses fatty acids to make hormone-like substances that regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, cholesterol, immunity and your response to injury and infection.

The sweet-smelling, exotic-tasting pulp fills most of the inside of the fruit. People in the Amazon basin use it to make different kinds of drinks, ice cream, jam and dessert tarts.

It’s very difficult to get fresh cupuacu in the United States. But fortunately, you don’t have to go to the Amazon jungle like I did to try cupuaçu. You can now find different cupuaçu products in health food stores.

Mostly you’ll find it in ice cream and juices. You might see cupuaçu included in various energy drinks, but you don’t get the full effect that way. The best thing to do if you can’t get fresh cupuaçu is to find cupuaçu powder, or frozen cupuaçu pulp.

When you make the juice, you’ll get a rich, buttery-smooth, tropical-looking drink like a poured milk shake with a fruity but chocolaty taste.

You can also find cupuaçu in skin creams and even shampoo. What they do is press the seeds to release the oil, and make cupuaçu butter.

All those fatty acids are excellent for keeping your skin soft and elastic. Plus they have an anti inflammatory effect, and create an effective skin barrier that stops moisture loss.

We like cupuaçu so much, I have been working hard to get it out of the Brazilian rainforest for you.

In fact, I am using it in my new and improved ubiquinol, so keep an eye out for it. It will be a wafer instead of a pill so that you can taste the great flavor of cupuaçu just like I did that day in Brazil."

Dr. Sears has already offered a unique UBIQUINOL- COQ10 supplement called ACCEL. Get it today and start reaping the benefits.

Chemical Free Pesticides To Protect Your Immune System

2011-05-26T10:54:00.000-07:00

Chemical free pesticides are a healthy choice for your yard and homes right now. More than ever, because our environment is constantly getting more and more contaminated, along with our food and water supply. To protect your immune system, and your family's, changing over to natural remedies for bugs in your garden is not that difficult.

Is This Really Important - Or Just Another Chore?

Chemical pesticides are hormone disruptors. They can mimic human hormones or interrupt the way the body processes hormones. These chemicals have been associated with:

- autism
- hyperactivity
- thyroid cancers
- prostate cancers
- breast cancers
- obesity
- Diabetes

You can interrupt the scented trails ants leave behind them by washing with soapy water, or a vinegar/eucalyptus oil mix. You can leave a line of cayenne pepper across their trail. Ants are not allowed into their colonies if they have traces of strong mixtures on their feet, so they will avoid them and leave the area.

Flea Infestations
Diatomaceous earth can be sprinkled into your carpets and left for about three to four days. Rub it into the carpet with a brush. Vacuum dead fleas up carefully. Some pets may a little sensitive to this item, but it is not harmful.

Does Working in a Tanning Salon Increase My Chances of Skin Cancer?

2011-05-19T09:19:00.000-07:00

The chances of skin cancer... do you wonder about this as you perhaps look at the amazing internet coupon "buy now" deal? A consumer has a choice as to what kind of exposure, how much, none at all. But does working in a tanning salon increase the chances of skin cancer? What exposure could you be getting to possible cancer-causing UV rays?

It is commonly assumed that as a tanning salon worker you will get exposure to the fluorescent light UV rays from demonstrating use to a customer, or just in momentary help. Because your exposure is constant, and ongoing, it could be safe just to assume that your risk for skin cancer is higher, and you want to boost your immune system in every way possible.

The United Kingdom has already passed legislation banning the use of tanning salons to anyone under 18 years of age. The State of New York has introduced legislation requiring parental consent for the use of tanning beds for anyone between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. So obviously concern is growing.

What experts do know about skin cancer is that high exposure of sunlight or tanning beds before the age of thirty raises the risk of melanomas. And overexposure to ultraviolet rays does cause premature aging and wrinkles in the skin.

Yet, theoretically at least, cancer is a systemic condition of the immune system. Supposedly, if your immune system is working, the risks of any kind of cancer is decreased. So you are tempting fate and pointing to your skin as a candidate for cell overgrowth if you are experiencing constant exposure to UV rays without any special care to your overall health.

Your Endocrine System Is The Director Of Your Immune System

Your endocrine system consists of the following glands:

* pituitary
* pineal
* thyroid
* parathyroid
* pancreas
* ovaries
* testes
* adrenal glands
* thymus

The endocrine glands secrete hormones which travel through the blood and participate in the various functions of every cell in your body. This includes growth factors, and toxic waste removal factors, both of which can contribute to cancers if the regulation gets disrupted by something.

Stress, both as a one time shock, or chronic and daily, is a prime disruptor of the finely tuned endocrine factories, regulated by your brain. Food additives, drugs, alcohol, sugars, fat imbalances or deficiencies, all disrupt the endocrine system.

The pituitary gland is considered the master gland, and its activities affect all the other glands. It regulates metabolism, your nervous system and your skin (among a hundred other activities). Sunlight activates this gland, and darkness calms it. Both necessary conditions.

The pineal gland has a very specific crucial function - it secretes melatonin. Melatonin is one of your body's most potent antioxidants, important for preventing the development of cancer.

The thyroid gland regulates the metabolism and the immune system as well. It also regulates the reproductive glands, so when those glands are malfunctioning, the thyroid is also operating at low or high levels, and should be corrected.

The thymus gland secretes hormones that act like antibiotics, triggering the destructive of invading pathogens. A zinc deficiency will shut this important gland down. Radiation will destroy the thymus gland. Yet, it can be treated with natural medicines.

Volumes of information have been written about the endocrine system and I mention it just to introduce the idea that it can get off kilter very easily. Yet, it can also stay very healthy with proper nutrition. Primarily, healthy oils, providing enough omega 3 fatty acids to balance the constant intake of omega 6 oils from grains and grain fed animals.

So you are working in a tanning salon and are constantly exposed to UVA radiation. But you can compensate for the fact that this possibly increases your risk of skin cancer. There are guidelines to staying healthy despite this. Natural whole food supplements can be easily integrated into your meal plans.

Don't panic about all this. Focus on organic fresh foods, and simplify life with a couple of OMEGA 3 OILS supplements such as OMEGANOL and a powerful mixed ANTIOXIDANTS GREEN FOODS SUPPLEMENT. Start right now!

Improve Vision Naturally - Feel Safer And Stay Independent

2011-05-06T18:34:00.000-07:00

Dr. Al Sears is getting a little older himself! With great empathy and also a lot of medical know-how, he has put together a supplement you can take to IMPROVE VISION NATURALLY,NUTRAVISION.

Some of you have been lucky for decades and have not worn glasses or contact lenses. But there comes a day when the newspaper print - or the on line newsletter - seems fuzzy! This is so taken for granted in our modern culture. We don't question it, and we head for the nearest optometrist.

And, that is a very good idea, In spite of whatever we decide to do to preserve our vision naturally, we still need to feel secure that we can drive at night, and not suffer too much from tired eyes.

If you feel that you want to do more, and preserve your vision and eye health, try NUTRAVISION.

Anti-aging Nutrition and Alzheimers Research

2011-05-03T20:17:00.000-07:00

UCLA scientists have confirmed that fish oil (like OMEGANOL AND COD LIVER OIL)is a deterrent against Alzheimer's. Many Alzheimer's researchers have stated that fish oil, whether taken in the diet from salmon, tuna, mackeral or other fish, or by nutritional supplementation, is an easily available and inexpensive food that may delay or prevent this degenerative disease.

DHA is the omega-3 fatty acid (docosahexaenoic acid) found in fish oil. DHA increases the production of a protein called LR11. LR11 is found at reduced levels in Alzheimer's patients, and is known to destroy the protein that forms the plaques, or protein deposits in the brain associated with the disease.

It is considered by researchers that this protein, called beta amyloid, is toxic to neurons in the brain. High levels of LR11 prevents the toxic plaques from being made, and DHA increases its production, thus omega 3 oils play their part in brain healing, or brain wellness.

Our brains are built largely from fat - but not the junk fats we eat in processed food, and not from excessive amounts of omega 6 oils. Omega 6 oils are necessary for good health, but only in a certain ratio to omega 3 oils.

Especially during pregnancy and the first few years of life, we need omega 3 oils in our diet. Our childrens' brains depend on this.

But let's think broadly and realize that we need omega 3 oils in our diet on a regular basis.

Henry Lorin, author of "Alzheimer's Solved" states that in the majority of cases Alzheimer's disease is caused by long-term shortages of cholesterol in the elderly brain. Cholesterol means fat.

Cholesterol shows up in the blood when it is not being metabolized properly. It does not necessarily mean you are eating too much fat - but it does mean your body cannot use it for brain function and other important functions like producing hormones.

The elderly often suffer a semi-starvation due to poor dentistry, insufficient stomach acid, and a poor diet in general. Processed and institutional foods offer poor fats, and fats are essential to the brain. "Essential fatty acids" are those which the body cannot manufacture from nutrients - so we must eat them.

As well, processed and institutional foods are loaded with NITROSAMINES, which cause the brain to become insulin resistant and stop processing glucose for energy.

The concerns about having high cholesterol lead most people to go for the low fat diet. This is a band aid. Sure less cholesterol shows up in the blood - but what about your precious brain?

Avoiding contaminants from smoking, alcohol and drugs is a start in preventing any kind of brain damage. But our daily eating habits matter just as much. Our diet needs to be as free from processed and preserved foods as possible.

Your anti-aging education and your choice of fats (amongst many other nutrients like real whole food vitamins and minerals) would ideally be ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS LIKE OMEGANOL OR COD LIVER OIL. Alzheimer's Disease is scary, and becoming more prevalent - parallel to our bad eating habits. Fortunately, Alzheimer's research is leading us back onto track.

Can You Increase Brain Power And Trigger A Release Of Your Stress

2011-04-19T07:36:00.000-07:00

If you can understand how to increase brain power and that doing so will release stress you can do both things at the same time.

You will begin to feel better in many ways by applying these three plans of action. Check with your doctor if you have a medical condition, and get the okay to proceed. You will get your own PACE exercise plan to increase brain power and BETTER THAN COFFEE, a natural supplement to enhance your brain health and help you to release stress.

Read on, and I will explain. This is a long term plan, and it is a lifestyle change for many. It may sound like a daunting challenge if you are a couch potato or working sitting down for too many hours in a day. Yet the rewards are great.

Forming your own program to have more brain power, slower aging, and understanding how to de-stress, means that as you age, you will find less need for drastic or emergency lifestyle changes. Know that you can prevent premature aging, stress related diseases and physical/mental weakening, and you can also benefit from better moods and critical thinking abilities into old age. Here are the components for a program:

Exercise - Number One!

The physical benefits to exercise are the obvious - stronger muscles, better coordination and better balance. Add to that, improved circulation, lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol. Thus you slow your aging and keep yourself strong and functional.

Emotionally, the benefits of exercise are significant. Exercise lifts your mood. It also improves circulation to your brain, and increases chemicals called "growth factors" that contribute to the manufacture of new brain cells. So in this way, physical challenges and movements neutralize stress.

Insulin resistance is a major factor in aging. Once the body has reached this condition (from lack of effective exercise and a bad diet) weight gain is constant. This syndrome can lead to Diabetes II, obesity, and other inflammatory conditions. Insulin sensitivity can be regained by muscle building exercise, slow motion weight lifting that triggers the fastest twitch muscle fibers. This action triggers a unique cascade of enzymes - chemical messengers - that tells your body to build up the muscle fibers.

When you start building muscle tissue, you start increasing your metabolism. The tendency to gain weight will decrease. Slowly, but surely, you will see results in your physique - and also your blood sugar tests. Be sure to tell your doctor your plan, and schedule regular tests. I bet your physician will be a cheer leader for you, if no one else is.

You can learn to exercise for cardio vascular challenge, and weight resistance, pacing it carefully in intervals. There is no rush in this approach - you start where you are right now, and proceed at an appropriate intensity. Enjoy it!

Stress Control

Stress reduction tips often are headed by - exercise! For all the reasons mentioned above plus the fact of you putting aside time for yourself, and perhaps work out with a partner, your child, or a colleague whose company you enjoy. And, as well as the growth factor chemicals mentioned above, exercise produces endorphins, the same feel good neurotransmitters that are produced by sugar, drugs, alcohol and sex. Therefore, adding exercise to your routines is a huge positive.

Healthy Brain Power Diet Also Helps You Control Stress

And not only that, but a better diet gives you the energy to exercise too. So here you have a third factor that works with the other two. And all three factors make the other ones work better. And reducing one factor will reduce the benefits of the other two. It is a wonderful holistic approach.

I personally believe that your attitude is of prime importance. Positive emotions and strong beliefs can override a less than optimum diet, and lack of exercise. To a point. I think that when an emergency crops up, burn out is inevitable if you have not been taking care of yourself. So be aware of the following:

* decreasing or replacing coffee with nutrients for the brain, memory, and cognitive faculties
* the B Complex vitamins and extra B12, B6 and Folic Acid for converting proteins to muscle
* omega 6 oils and omega 3 oils being consumed for balance and reducing inflammation
* antioxidants from dark green leafy vegetables and whole food supplements

So try these two things - BETTER THAN COFFEE to increase brain power and the PACE exercise program.

Symptoms Of A Low Thyroid Function And Correcting An Iodine/Selenium Deficiency

2011-04-12T08:02:00.000-07:00

A low thyroid function has specific causes, yet the symptoms of this condition are numerous and can be mistaken for symptoms of other disorders, including psychological syndromes. Also, as an individual you might experience and describe your signs of a low thyroid in a unique way that can confuse the issue. You can use PRIMAL FORCE THYROID SUPPORT to correct this.

A blood test may show that your thyroid hormones are low, but still considered in a normal range, not requiring drug therapy. If this is the case, while frustrating for you, you are lucky, because remedying a couple of simple nutritional deficiencies may return you to a true 'normal'. Review the following symptoms typically associated with a hypothyroid condition:

* difficulty losing weight
* tired all the time
* moodiness
* hair loss
* loose skin
* depression
* aching muscles
* feeling cold
* Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
* lack of libido
* sore joints
* memory loss
* difficulty concentrating

It is easy to see why this 'low normal' thyroid function can be difficult to figure out. If you are over forty, you may be told that your natural aging process has started. If your dominant symptom is depression, for example, you may be prescribed psychiatric drugs. These will for certain not help your thyroid hormones get up to par. And so on and so on with each symptom - a dominant symptom can be assigned to the wrong diagnosis.

Nutritional factors can be explored here. It is common knowledge that an iodine deficiency can be responsible for a sluggish thyroid gland. Yet, iodine is only part of the nutrition required to manufacture thyroid hormones. If you are deficient in other minerals like selenium, copper, and zinc, and the amino acid L-Tyrosine, just taking some iodine won't help to completely remedy the situation.

L-Tyrosine is an interesting amino acid. It is involved in the production of mood elevating neurotransmitters and adrenaline. If you are under constant stress, your L-Tyrosine will get used up producing adrenaline, and as a result will not be available in the quantity your body needs to produce your thyroid hormones.

One body system can function then, but another will be compromised. The good news is, that by introducing some simple supplements into your diet, you can target one area, such as your thyroid, and other aspects of your health will benefit as well.

Think of the chain reaction you can create by getting your thyroid up to normal. Imagine having more energy, healthier skin and hair, a healthy libido, and the sense of well being resulting from those few factors. You might feel more like working out and that can result in strong muscles, more fat burning, and slower aging.

Thyroid function affects your heart health, your cholesterol levels and your homocysteine levels. Also, extremely important, this in turn improves the lining of your blood vessels and prevents blood clots.

The content of selenium in our foods depends on the soil the foods grow in. This is very inconsistent from one agricultural area to another. Even if we know the selenium endowed areas of the world, our foods are not all tagged with their origins. It is the same with iodine. It is low in most diets, though traces are found in seafoods. Sadly our seafoods are so polluted now that we cannot eat them every day.

Fortunately it is simple to add a natural supplement to our diet to improve our nutritional intake. Visit us and get more information on a combination of minerals and L-Tyrosine that will improve your low thyroid function. Get THYROID SUPPORT.

Low Thyroid Levels And A Low Thyroid Diet

2011-03-24T11:48:00.000-07:00

Fish oil is well known for general health benefits, but experts believe daily intake is especially crucial if you have low levels of thyroid hormones. OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS are derived from both fish oils and flaxseed oil, providing us with the fatty acids that balance our usual intake of omega 6 fats, which are plentiful in meats, dairy products and grains.

Increasing your thyroid hormones into normal ranges will help with your general energy, a fat burning diet, your sex drive, and your emotional balance. Since our thyroid gland is part of our immune system, your optimum health depends on its correct function. Other factors are involved such as iodine levels, pituitary function, and a generally good diet of fresh whole foods.

Choose The Best Fats

However, if you are on a low fat diet, you want to be sure that the fats you are choosing to ingest daily, are of the best quality and fatty acid balance you can get. The usual sources are:

* salmon
* tuna
* mackerel
* sardine
* krill
* cod
* halibut

The healthy oils come from wild caught fish. This is because farmed fish are fed unnatural foods, for fish, and the oils they produce are omega six oils. Also wild fish are free of coloring and antibiotics, which possibly could taint the oils to some degree.

Many fish oil products are flavored with lemon and lime, which makes it easier to give to children (or yourself!). They also come in capsules if you cannot get the liquid down.

Fish oil is unfortunately compromised by the common contaminants found in ocean waters - mercury and many more industrial chemicals that cause a variety of problems for our body chemistry, leading to cancers and other degenerating conditions. So, sadly, it is generally recommended now that we do not eat even the best quality of fish more than once a week. The body needs a chance to detoxify the pollution, as opposed to accumulate it to dangerous levels in our tissues.

Healthy body chemistry demands that you do consume daily amounts of omega 3 oils, some of it from fish, for the following:

* liver function - the liver processes healthy fats into hormones of all kinds
* brain function - the brain requires many neurotransmitter hormones manufactured from oils
* joint function - healthy oils decrease inflammation, thereby reducing joint pain
* skin - the skin requires pure and healthy fatty acids for proper function and a glowing healthy look

The above list of course does not cover everything the body uses oils for, but are the main areas we can recognize without having to be a medically trained chemist.

Omega three oils enhance a thyroid cell's sensitivity to the thyroid hormones that need to be absorbed into the structure of the gland. If functioning well, the thyroid gland participates in your immune responses, and the speed of your metabolism.

Metabolism heavily influences your mood and your energy levels - which pretty well covers your general approach to life. Weight gain, fatigue, depression, apathy or supreme boredom may be the result of a sluggish thyroid gland. Would it not be wonderful to take a few key natural remedy supplements a day and get it working again!

A simple blood test will tell your doctor if your thyroid is deficient, and you can proceed to improve your LOW THYROID LEVELS. And whatever treatment you choose, you can enhance its success by getting a high quality fish oil such as OMEGANOL AND THYROID SUPPORT

A Natural Daily Supplement - What Is CoQ10 And Why Is It Good?

2011-02-21T12:02:00.000-08:00

Coenzyme Q10 is also called CoQ10 or ubiquinone. It is usually described as being an anti-oxidant, which most people associate with correcting or preventing cellular damage, possibly preventing cancer to some degree, and generally beneficial to the immune system.

CoQ10 is involved with energy production in the body's cells, and I think that is why users of CoQ10 or ubiquinol (a concentrated form) express that they get less winded exercising, and living life in general. In the 1970's medical researchers related a CoQ10 deficiency to heart disease.

The biochemical activity of CoQ10 is too detailed to explain here. It has been related in medical studies, to helping cancer go into remission, or even disappear. Please note, this is while being administered along with medicinal cancer treatment, not instead of.

But CoQ10's support to the immune system is obviously noteworthy.

Taken in as a supplement in its ubiquinol form, it is eight times as effective.

You will also get it from eating grass-fed red meat.

It is probably a very under-rated nutritional supplement, given the occurrence of cancers and other immune system failures in our culture.

To increase the benefits of ubiquinol, Vitamin C and E, in their natural forms, have been added to create ACCEL.

Get your ACCEL NATURAL DAILY SUPPLEMENT today and reap the many health benefits.

Prevent Dry Skin, Including A Dry Scalp

2011-02-17T10:33:00.000-08:00

There are many benefits to adding The Primal Force OMEGANOL Omega 3 oils
to your diet. These commonly known benefits are listed below, but first I want to mention that omega 3 fatty acids are also excellent for your skin, including for preventing a dry scalp. Here is the amazing list;

• Reduce the risk of stroke and sudden heart attack by 50-80%
• Improve good cholesterol
• Decrease bad cholesterol
• Reduce joint inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis
• Improve brain function
• Prevent Alzheimer's
• Reduce the risk of breast cancer
• Reduce the risk of prostate cancer
• Reduce depression
• Improve memory
• Improve sleep
• Increase energy
• Reduce severity and frequency of migraines
• Boost infant IQ
• Improved eye health

"The most important supplement for people to be taking is fish oil. Just three grams a day may provide enormous benefits. It may lower the risk of heart attack or sudden cardiac death by 50 to 80 percent. It may reduce the risk of prostrate and breast cancer. It may reduce depression. When given to pregnant and nursing mothers, it may increase a baby's IQ."

From: Newsweek Jan 16, 2006. While research is rarely deemed conclusive, it is certainly supportive.

The Omega 3 fatty acids in purified fish oils, and foods (eg:salmon, tuna, cod,mackerel), have been shown to:

*** Be vital to brain function
*** Boost the effectiveness or replace anti-depressants
*** Reduce depression symptoms by 50%
***Boost synapse connections between cells aiding mood, personality and behavior

OMEGANOL is the nutritional supplement that fulfills your daily needs of omega 3 oils.

Organic cold-pressed flaxseed oil is another excellent oil (use it for salad dressings) that can be added to fish oil, for many health benefits.

Add all the possible health benefits noted above that you can get to prevent dry skin with OMEGANOL

Build Strong Bones And Stop Bone Loss

2011-02-10T08:55:00.000-08:00

Bones lose density starting around the age of thirty five, yet you can stop bone loss. Understanding how our bodies build strong bones is not difficult. Incorporating the right foods and sometimes adding supplements to our diet, gives our biological processes what they need to do the job.

We don't need to know how it all happens, our physical systems know exactly what to do. A nutritious diet, exercise, some sunshine, and good sleep will keep your skeleton strong and better able to withstand accidents and injuries.

Bone diseases like osteopenia or osteoporosis can be prevented, and reversed. Individuals have been known to not only avoid continued degeneration of their bone density, but to gain 20% density in their bones. All with completely natural means.

We don't hear that much about vitamin K, such as we do in television ads that promote vitamin C, something we all heard about lifelong. It may less familiar, yet it is an important bone-boosting vitamin.

The K2 form of this vitamin is the element that carries calcium into the bone cells in your body. It helps calcium adhere to the protein in your bones called osteocalcin, resulting in increased bone density and a stronger skeleton.

You eat foods every day that contain vitamin K: egg yolks, organ meats and organic whole milk. Well okay, not many people eat organ meats daily, yet they are nutritious in many ways.

Even better sources are cruciferous vegetables. Chard, Brussels sprouts, kale, and cauliflower are good choices. Also excellent, not cruciferous, is spinach. (Remember Popeye)?

Adding parsley to your daily salads is another means of eating vitamin K.

Vitamin D is important: at http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional, The National Institutes of Health Fact Sheet on Vitamin D gives you a ton of information if you love the details. Vitamin D is related to calcium absorption, so plays a major role in building bone.

Weight bearing exercise is another factor. You use it, you don't lose it. The PACE EXPRESS exercisee program is perfectly designed to do this. (Click on icon top right).

Learn more about an exercise program to build strong bones. And visit us to get a supplement that gives you your daily greens - ULTRA GREENS
, and you will be helping your body to stop bone loss.

Stop Bone Loss

2011-01-25T15:12:00.000-08:00

How to stop bone loss, the real explanation is a little technical, so I am just going to quote Dr. Al Sears:

"Your bones have cells called osteoclasts. Their job is to remove old bone tissue. This allows the bone to grow strong because other cells called osteoblasts then rebuild the bone.

With osteoporosis and other bone diseases, there is an imbalance … either your osteoblasts aren’t making new cells fast enough, or osteoclasts are removing too much tissue.

So drug companies came up with a way to stop osteoclasts from removing the old tissue, which also artificially increases your bone density: bisphosphonate drugs.

There are two problems with this.

1. By keeping your old bone tissue, you increase bone mass but make bones act older.

2. The drugs do the job by poisoning your osteoclast cells.

What happens is that you take the medicine, the osteoclasts absorb it, and it poisons the osteoclast cells by cutting off their blood supply. The cells then either work very slowly or die.

Because they don’t take away the old tissue, your bones become denser. But they’re dense with old tissue. And the osteoblasts can’t make new tissue if the old tissue is still there.

After a while, the old-bone tissue becomes brittle and fragile, like glass, because it’s not as strong as the newer bone that would have formed without the drugs.

You end up with technically “dense” but weak bones that can fracture.

The other thing that can happen that most people don’t know about is osteonecrosis. This is what happens when your bones are too dense with old tissue. There’s not enough space in the inner bone for your bone marrow, which keeps your bones alive. Your bones then start to die. This often happens in the jaw."

The fact that bisphosphonate drugs ('bone loss' drugs)are related to cancers and thigh fractures troubles me. You mean doctors who prescribe these drugs don't know how bones really work? That's bad. And if they DO know, that's worse - that's terrible.

Vitamin D3, calcium and cruciferous vegetables found in Primal Force ULTRA GREENS
head up the nutritional team that builds your bones. Add in the PACE high intensity interval training program, starting at your own level of capability, and your bone density will be triggered to increase.

Pace Express - One Of The Best Anti Aging Products

Dr. Sears has formulated one of the best anti aging products,PACE EXPRESS. Pace exercise tips overturn accepted dogma and reveal a more effective, more exhilarating path to a strong heart, robust lungs and a naturally lean and effortlessly energetic body.

Challenging your body in new ways and in a progressive manner, results in your body adapting to the changes you are imposing. This workout routine will lead to a stronger body that will be better able to resist degeneration and illnesses.

In modern cultures we have a very different relationship to our environment compared to former times when every day, hunting, killing and fighting produced food and shelter for the fittest.

Dr. Sears' PACE program recreates the stress and rest cycles and movements imitating the physical demands of our forebears.

This natural rhythm produces:

* Expanded lung volume.
* High-speed fat loss.
* Reserve capacity in your heart.
* A higher metabolic rate with increased insulin sensitivity.

Natural Muscle Building and Whey Protein

2010-11-28T09:47:00.000-08:00

Ignite your Native Power with Primal Force MUSCLE UP!

"Your body's number one priority is survival. And protein is your body's most prized power source. Your body keeps fat on reserve for one reason: to prevent starvation.

But when your body has all the protein it needs, its survival is not threatened. It then feels "safe" enough to start burning off its fat stores.

In fact, this is the easiest, most reliable way of triggering high-speed fat loss. And, you'll guarantee your body has the building blocks it needs for your best health." So Dr. Al Sears explains his reasons for creating Primal Force Muscle Up!, a whey protein drink.

Grass fed cows have premium milk giving higher omega 3 fatty acid content, and milk which is free from artificial hormones and unnecessary antibiotics. This is a great product to help you muscle up for strength and fat-burning weight loss.

This is exactly what you need for natural muscle building

Muscle Building Training - Muscles Keep You Young!

2010-11-26T13:33:00.000-08:00

PACE

Dr Al Sears writes, in a recent newsletter:

"But by adding one single element to your daily life, you can alter your genetic blueprint, improve your health and reverse the age of your muscles. I’ll show you just how easy it is to do this.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers took muscle samples from young adults and older adults. The older group was placed in an exercise program. They performed resistance-type exercises three times per week.

Here’s what happened …

Before exercise training, the older adults were 59 percent weaker than the younger adults. But after just six months of exercise, the older individuals were able to improve muscle strength by approximately 50 percent.

But here’s something even more remarkable: After exercise training, their muscle tissue was re-energized from a cellular level. In fact, most of the genes that express aging were reversed back to younger levels!"

I think this is very exciting news! Being able to reverse aging puts a lot of power back into your hands, when the "typical" statistics of health and aging tell us that this or that aspect of our body simply degenerates over time , and you just have to accept it.

Knowing how to practice muscle building training and exert the muscles correctly is going to bring you a combination of benefits - improved circulation, mental alertness, increased strength and balance. Not to mention the diminishing of insulin resistance, good for your metabolism and cardiovascular system.

Get your Pace program now. You're getting older right now! Well, that's only if you do nothing about it.

Cardiovascular Health and Heart Supplements

2010-11-09T09:45:00.000-08:00

How can you improve cardiovascular health? When you eat proteins, an amino called Homocysteine appears in your blood. However, if it does not get broken down properly, the levels in your blood will rise.

Homocysteine irritates your arteries and other blood vessels, resulting in damage that can lead to blood clots.

Yet, our body processes know exactly how to prevent this condition that will lead to heart disease. If you ingest enough B vitamins, folate or Folic Acid, B6 and B12, specifically, homocysteine will be properly passed on into your body to build muscle, and maintain your overall health.

Nature works perfectly. Our modern diet with white flour foods has been stripped of the many B vitamins that are in whole grains. Good quality meats provide us with vitamin B12.

Dr. Sears reports:

"I uncovered a 14-year study that tracked vitamins B6, folate and B12. It found that when vitamin B6 and folate is high, a man’s chance of heart attack is cut in half. And a woman’s risk of heart attack drops by more than a half.2

Studies also show that vitamin B12 deficiency leads to high homocysteine in vegetarians. That's because red meat is the best source for vitamin B12.3

Here’s what I recommend to boost your B vitamins:
Vitamin

Food Sources

Supplement B6:Chicken, fish, kidney, liver, eggs, bananas, lima beans, walnuts provides 25 mg.

Folic Acid (B9):Beef, lamb, pork, chicken liver, eggs, green leafy vegetables, salmon provides 800 mcg

B12: Lamb, beef, herring, mackerel, liver, oysters, poultry, clams, eggs provides 500 mcg "

For the want of a few natural vitamins, you can create heart disease and early death. It seems so easy to avoid with HEART SUPPLEMENTS.

Improve Brain Health - Try Omega 3 Oils

2010-10-09T02:11:00.000-07:00

The tried and true supplement to IMPROVE BRAIN HEALTH has been cod liver oil - a traditional natural remedy. Not only is it abundant for omega 3 oils, but it also has a healthy dose of vitamin D, a powerful health booster. The vitamin D deficiency related conditions range from cancer to bone loss. With brain, bone and immune function related to good fatty acids why not get both every day in one little teaspoon.

Cod liver oil, these days is delivered purified of mercury and other contaminants. Ingesting liquid fish oil may not sound too pleasant. However, many brands offer a range of flavors that will allow both children and adults to take it without effort.

Vitamin D triggers the digestive tract to assimilate calcium, and then further, helps deliver it to the bones.

Lack of Vitamin D has been related to breast cancer, and other immune problems.

Vitamin helps regulate blood pressure. In fact high blood pressure in pregnant women has been related to Vitamin D deficiency.

In medical studies, the heart's inability to recovery from a heart attack is also related to a Vitamin D deficiency.

It is so easy to find a good cod liver oil natural supplement. Why risk your or your family's health to any lack?

Purified fish oils have become the norm. Medical doctors are apprised of the risks of eating fish more than two-three times a week, because of the pollution of our oceans.

As we age, our skin's ability to manufacture Vitamin D from sunlight decreases. Being aware of the need to supplement this vitamin may increase our chances of avoiding cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression, and more.

Investing in our health takes some time to stay informed, and yet takes so little if we do not hesitate to get omega 3 oils to IMPROVE BRAIN HEALTH

Protect Brain Cells With Vinpocetine

2010-10-06T16:21:00.000-07:00

How do you preserve your brain health? PROTECT BRAIN CELLS with a natural supplement.

Dr. Sears explains:

"A derivative of the periwinkle plant, VINPOCETINEis a powerful brain booster.*

Its most powerful effect is circulation in the brain, enhancing both your blood flow and oxygen utilization. By preventing the loss of a chemical messenger, GMP, which in its degraded form causes constriction of the blood vessels, Vinpocetine maintains a free flow in your cerebral arteries.

Vinpocetine also enhances the electrical conductivity of your brain's neural network, and protects cells from damage caused by an excessive release of intracellular calcium.*"

USE VINPOCETINE

Increase Over 60 Female Libido by Restoring Natural Health

2010-09-25T09:48:00.000-07:00

Use SENSUALITY for restoring natural health and to overcome your female libido loss.

Female libido loss is related to many health and lifestyle issues. Many women want a magic for a pill, but at the same time they also worry about taking drugs with the possible side effects. And these days more women (including under 60) are aware that libido loss is a sign of a deficiency in their overall health. A particular combination of natural health ingredients are powerful remedies for several health issues (including weight gain). And they are in a pill!

An all natural female enhancer is something you might want to try. If you have no physically limiting conditions or disease that needs treating there is no reason a natural remedy should not greatly increase your libido. And there is no reason to wait!

Hormonal changes can happen at any age - menopause brings those chemical changes in your body but so do food additives, food colorings and food preservatives.

Any vitamin or herbal supplementation will be most highly effective if you can change your diet, if needed, to include grass fed meat, wild caught cold water fish, and organic fruits and vegetables.

The reason for this is that:

1. pesticides and herbicides are hormone disrupters. The hormones that regulate brain chemicals, weight, and sexual health can be mimicked in the body by these dangerous chemicals while you suffer a deficiency of the real hormones

2. Grass fed animals and wild caught cold water fish provide more omega 3 fats, which will balance your hormones that affect your sex drive

So even if you are young, your body can be aging as though you are over 60, hormone-wise.

Whether you are over 60 or not, there is no reason to feel like you are quickly aging, or to continue suffering from a low sex drive. You can improve your overall health with the right ingredients in SENSUALITY which can be specially combined to decrease female libido loss

How to Increase a Woman's Libido

2010-08-03T22:06:00.000-07:00

Get SENSUALITY right now to restore a decreased sex drive Whether a decreased sex drive is from disease, menopause, depression, partner loss, or some other personal reason, try the natural healthy way to enhance the female libido. Plant extracts with an amino acid combine to make a powerful nutritional supplement.

If you are a woman with a decreased libido, you can increase your over all health, weight maintenance, and libido with some knowledge of nutrition.

A low female sex drive can occur because of different reasons, and at any age.

Eating too many processed foods and not enough fresh foods can unbalance your hormones, with all the effects you might imagine. Less desire for intimacy, horrible period cramps, and chronic fatigue can result. Just fatigue alone will lessen your libido. Your body chemistry just isn't working!

Too much exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and most of the industrial chemicals in our clothes, furniture, carpets and cleaning products overwhelms our body's struggle to process and use nutrients. In fact, the overload of chemicals we absorb everyday mimics our natural hormones, sits on our hormone receptors - but then cannot perform the cellular activity to activate our natural zest for sensuality and love.

Exact choices in nutrition can correct this imbalance. Nutrients that provide ingredients for specific cellular activity, or trigger the release of chemical events that lead to hormone production, need to be ingested every day.

If you are just beginning to experience a decrease in libido, and you do nothing about it, it may not get any better. Yet, learning about the required nutrients to enhance your health naturally is not difficult.

If you are a concerned partner, you can find out how to increase a woman's libido.

Do not despair about losing sensuality and intimacy. Our body chemistry runs on natural nutrition - so get what you need for yourself or your partner to increase a woman's libido

Restore The Libido In Women With A Natural Remedy

2010-07-04T12:22:00.000-07:00

Restore your libido right now with the natural SENSUALITY. In most women, this is not necessarily complicated. Improved nutrition, along with a natural remedy, will work for a large number of women, providing they do not have serious medical conditions that need to be addressed.

General good health conditions rely on:

*** getting enough sleep, and high quality sleep

*** exercise to help regulate hormones and decrease stress chemicals

*** eating fresh whole foods and avoiding food additives that mimic hormones or act as neuro-toxins

*** having a kind and considerate (and hopefully romantic!) partner

*** understanding a little about the hormones that generate the libido

Loss of libido is related to many factors in life. However, you may lack the nutritional ingredients that contribute to energy levels, hormone levels, and create an overall sense of well being in life. If this is the case for you, then job stress, family demands, childbirth, or injuries and accidents, will simply aggravate your lack of zest for life's activities.

So if your life has been overcome by stress and fatigue you may not even care or think about your libido any more. But I'll bet your partner does. Dealing with the emotional distress of a partner who feels ignored and uncared for may load you with guilt and feelings of inadequacy.

Nutritional supplements are available that target the production/balancing of hormones that contribute to a healthy libido.

An added bonus is that this kind biochemical nutrition also enhances weight loss. What a coincidence - the nutrition that helps a woman feel interested in sex also adds to most women's positive self-image. If a woman feels desirable, she is more likely to feel desire. Whether it is bad or good, in modern cultures, attractiveness is firmly connected to being thin.

Staying curious and investigating what is nutritious for you will help you make informed health choices. If you're generally healthy, adding a high quality nutritional supplement such as SENSUALITY is usually beneficial.

You CAN recover the sensuality in your life. Here is some more information for you to check into if you want to know how to restore women's libido naturally.

How To Find Uncontaminated Food

2010-03-06T06:57:00.000-08:00

Dr. Al Sears and other "natural" oriented medical doctors, naturopaths, homeopaths, chiropractors and Doctors of Oriental Medicine who publish excellent articles on the internet, all urge us to buy the best quality food that we can.

How do we do that? Locally grown food is the freshest, and also its transport and delivery to us requires the least use of fossil fuels, road wear, the costs of which are rolled into the prices we pay.

Contrary to what you may expect, many smaller markets offer less expensive food than the giants. They do this by stocking the locally grown food that is cheaper to get to the stores.

While vegetables, fruits, meat,fish and poultry are simply not the quality they were one hundred years ago, (and we compensate for this by taking the best nutritional supplements we can find), we can get good food.

Take some time to browse through your local "boutique" markets and compare the sources and prices of the produce they sell.

It is such a pity that we think of doctors as "natural" oriented or otherwise. Modern medicine is amazing with the feats that surgery and life-saving drugs can accomplish.

However, many prevalent conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, IBS, and cancer are related to the foods we eat, and medical studies around the world have shown this. Commonly, our family medical doctor has scant training in nutrition or how vitamins support our health.

The "low fat" craze has finally been replaced with the "no trans-fat" campaign. Yet, take note of this warning, snacks with no trans fats may yet contain herbicides, pesticides, drugs, hormones, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, MSG, food colorings and all those other food chemicals that you may choose to eliminate from your family's diet.

You can find locally grown food by entering your zip code on this page. If you are interested in growing some of your own food at home, look here for some expert gardening tips.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids -Make You Live Longer?

2010-02-25T06:56:00.000-08:00

Can Omega 3 fatty acids such as liquid Cod Liver Oil or if you prefer capsules, Omeganol, determine how long you will live - and not just because they are good for your heart health? Omega-3s may now have a profound effect on anti-aging by slowing down the shortening of telomeres.

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), has confirmed the connection with that, and Omega-3s.

Telomeres are the protective tips that cap the ends of your DNA. When your cells divide, the telomeres decrease in length. When your telomeres run down, cell division stops, and - well, it's over!.

Everything you've been told about aging is about to be transformed by this new science. However, you may not hear about it on the evening news.....

Last year the Nobel Prize was awarded for telomere research, yet anti-aging is considered impossible.

But with targeted nutrition care, it IS now possible to SLOW DOWN the shortening of your telomeres. This factor is referred to in a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which confirmed the CONNECTION WITH OMEGA-3S.

And it is SO EASY to advantage of this scientific breakthrough.

It is truly possible for you to add years to your life, simply by knowing how to eat to add more OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS to your diet.

Eat coldwater, high-fat variety fish three or four times a week (albacore tuna,mackerel,salmon,sardines,lake trout,swordfish, herring).

Eat more raw nuts and seeds instead of other (processed) fatty snacks like chips. (flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, soybeans and soybean oil, walnuts, brazil nuts, almonds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds).

Take 3 to 5 grams of Cod Liver Oil a day. Top brands pack two to three times the Omega-3s you find in lesser brands, and five times more Omega-3s than a can of tuna - without the mercury. These oils can help you:

* Strengthen your heart and blood vessels
* Maintain blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range
* Help support joint and muscle health
* Keep your triglycerides (blood fat) in the safe range
* Sustain healthy HDL (good cholesterol) levels
* Boost your memory and brainpower
* Protect your blood vessels and nerves
* Enhance cell sensitivity to Thyroid Hormones

Some personal research is needed to help you review your diet, and decide how you can improve it. To avoid ingesting too much mercury and other contaminants found in fish, it is better to find the best Omega 3 Fatty Acids (Cod Liver Oil or Omeganol) possible.

Your Right To Buy Quality Supplements Is In Danger!

2010-02-23T15:31:00.000-08:00

Here's what Dr. Sears posted today:

"I seldom, if ever, discuss politics with you. But this in one occasion when something needs to be said.

There’s a new bill in Congress.

If it passes, the FDA will have the right to permanently take away any vitamin or natural supplement it chooses. And once it’s gone, your access disappears… forever.

Don’t Become
“Collateral Damage”
to One of the Most Dreaded Diseases
of Our Time

I know how heart-wrenching it can be…

When someone you love is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, you don’t have many options. Most doctors prescribe drugs. But numerous studies show these don’t work long-term. The result is wasted money and time.

I recently learned of a man on a personal mission. His name is Bill Hammond, and he wants to help families and caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients from losing everything they own, sacrificing their lives, and becoming what he calls the “collateral damage” of Alzheimer's.

He’s created a resource kit for providing the best care for someone with Alzheimer’s. If your life has been affected in some way by this horrible disease, I highly recommend you read Bill’s letter here…

Imagine CoQ10 becoming illegal? Or if you could only take CoQ10 with a doctor’s prescription at 100 times the cost?

You have the right to choose what you put in your own body. And that includes natural medicine and nutritional supplements.

As the philosopher John Stuart Mill said, “Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.”1

This is where I stand.

But the bill before Congress intends to lessen, and perhaps take away, your right to have control over your body and mind.

This new “safety” bill would empower the FDA to permanently ban any nutritional supplement it considers “adulterated” or “misbranded.”

On the surface it sounds reasonable, but in practice, it means the FDA can make a list of accepted vitamins and ban all the rest. Europeans already live under such a law. It’s so restrictive; most people in Europe buy their vitamins here in the U.S.

Part of the problem is the way the bill is written. The language is open-ended and subject to broad interpretation.

Even if a vitamin company makes a mistake with their paperwork, or the FDA claims they made a mistake with their paperwork, they can take that product off the market forever. Even if that product has a clean track record.

Also at risk is the dose of a vitamin or nutrient. That means the FDA could say, for example, “Vitamin C is only safe at a dose of 10mg.”

But here’s the deal: If your vitamin C only has 10mg per tablet, you’d have to take an entire bottle to get a one-day supply. That’s another strategy the FDA could use to kill off a vitamin or nutrient.

This bill is dangerous: Both to your health and to your rights as an individual.

I urge you to click HERE and send a message to your Senator.

The Alliance for Natural Health has prepared the letter for you. All you have to do is fill in your name and address and click “send.”

Your voice counts.

Please take a moment to stand up and be counted."....

Healthy Fatty Acids - Guarana VS Caffeine In Brain and Heart Health

2010-01-20T08:49:00.000-08:00

HEALTHY FATTY ACIDS, affect your brain and heart health.

The Indians of the Amazon River Basin have been using guarana (guaranine)to prevent fatigue and increase physical endurance since before recorded history.

Dr. Al Sears experienced its effects on an 18 hour trek through the jungles of Peru..."my mind was crystal clear and I had no feeling of fatigue. Looking back, I had covered 15 miles of rugged terrain without feeling tired or worn out."

Unlike regular caffeine, guarana is full of healthy fatty acids. The good fat gives guaranine a slow release. Its effect will gradually increase over a period of hours. It doesn’t pick you up and throw you down like quick release caffeine. You don’t get any of the nervous, jittery energy you do with caffeine.

Caffeine is the most widely used drug in the world. Studies number in the hundreds, and have shown it’s a proven mental performance booster. One published in Neurology found that three cups of coffee a day cuts your risk of mental decline by over 50%.

The catch is, coffee gives you a short burst of energy, but overheats and excites your body. Guaranine has a cooling action that revitalizes and relaxes - much more beneficial to your body. You get all the energy and alertness but remain calm, cool and collected.

Paullina cupana, this Rain Forest herb with guaranine, works its magic by releasing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, in your brain. This brain chemical lets your nerve cells fire through the synapse or gap that exists between the trillions of neurons in your brain.

Thus, your mind is sharp and your memory is clear. When you drink coffee in the morning, the release of acetylcholine gives you the buzz that gets you going.

But there’s a problem… coffee DEPLETES your reserve of acetylcholine. Guaranine is slow acting with none of the caffeine side effects but it works in the same way. Eventually you lose your reserve of acetylcholine.

But if you trigger a release of acetylcholine and then rebuild your reserves you can sustain the amazing rush of clarity over the long term.

Your brain has a huge appetite for choline.

It’s the primary building block for acetylcholine.

You burn it up 24/7 as your brain uses it to maintain clear communication between trillions of neurons.
You need it for all the basics like thought, memory and sleep. It even controls how you move.

Your muscles receive commands from your brain via acetylcholine. That means your sense of balance and stability is controlled by this key transmitter.

Like many nutrients, your supply of choline drops as you get older. As this happens, you can expect some or all of these symptoms:
Poor recall and memory loss
Fatigue or lack of energy
Brain fog and/or a sense of confusion
Problems falling asleep, tossing and turning
Unable to catch on, or learn new things
Feeling distracted or irritable
Walking with a wobbly or shaky gait, unable to stay balanced

When choline levels drop off, your brain goes on a scavenger hunt and extracts choline from nerve cell membranes. This last resort is called “auto-cannibalism” and it’s very dangerous.

No surprise, Alzheimer’s patients have very low levels of acetylcholine. As the disease progresses, it’s the choline neurons that show the most damage.

Put more choline into your body and your brain gets more of the neurotransmitter that keeps your mind alert and your memory fresh.

When you combine choline and guaranine you get a bigger release of acetylcholine – even more than taking guaranine on its own. That’s what gives you the feeling of energy and mental power. But instead of depleting your reserves and burning out, you build them up.

A blend of choline and guaranine is like rocket fuel for your brain! Not only does it give you a better boost than your morning cup of coffee, it gives you the clarity of a mental giant.

Choline and guaranine are enough to repair and rejuvenate your aging brain. But there’s another key brain booster essential to a better formula: DMAE.

Clinical studies show DMAE can:
Boost IQ
Accelerate mental speed and your ability to process thoughts and ideas
Improve your concentration and eliminate early morning “fogginess”
Relieve the symptoms of mild depression
Decrease irritability and over activity
Increase attention without causing drowsiness

Choline also brings down your levels of both homocysteine and CRP, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Caffeine DEPLETES, choline BUILDS UP. DMAE supports heart and brain health.

The Immortality Gene and Your Healthy Lifestyle

2009-11-15T09:13:00.000-08:00

Dr. Al Sears has been talking about telomeres and health for years. Modern science is beginning to catch on.

What are your telomeres? They’re protective tips that cap the ends of your DNA.

We now know that telomere length is a key indicator of your overall health. The latest evidence from the most highly regarded sources keeps mounting...

*

Aging/Los Angeles Times4
Your risk of heart attack increases the faster your telomeres break down. Scientists looked at people in perfect health . . . who later died from heart disease. They found the death rate from heart attack was three times higher for men whose telomeres got short the fastest. The death rate for women was 2.3 times higher. (2009)
*

Journals of Gerontology5
100 year olds in good health had “significantly longer” telomeres than those with health problems. (2008)
*

American Heart Association6
People with shorter telomeres in their immune cells had twice the risk of death from heart failure as patients with the longest telomeres. The study, published in one of its key journals, looked at over 750 people with heart disease. The highest-risk group had telomeres half the length of the lowest-risk group. (2008)
*

Psychosomatic Medicine7
Women with shorter telomeres are more likely to be overweight and insulin resistant. (2008)
*

American Association for Cancer Research8
One of its flagship journals published a potential link between telomere length and colon cancer. (2006)
*

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences9
People with short telomeres are more likely to suffer from weaker immune systems and greater heart disease risk. (2004)

And here’s the kicker: last year the prestigious journal Lancet backed up Dr. Sears’s 6 steps to switch on your immortality gene.10

It came in a study run by Dr. Dean Ornish. He found that the same lifestyle changes you’ll find in Dr. Sears’ TA-65 Seminar can boost your telomerase levels by 29 percent.

Fertility, Heart Disease, Male Potency And Aging

2009-08-09T13:58:00.000-07:00

Xeno-estrogens act like estrogens in the body. Found in our drinking water, our food (from pesticides, herbicides, etc.,) these chemicals suppress fertility, sex drive, and contribute to heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, etc.,). If living to hold your children (or grandchildren) is a primal force in your life, a natural remedy(ies) may be your easiest method.

Unfortunately, wise and healthy aging is not an issue with people in their twenties and thirties....unless they get sick. However, this would be the wisest time of life to address fertility, heart disease and more issues.

Protecting ourselves from xeno-estrogens (only one category of the harmful chemicals we eat, drink and inhale every day) does not become a concern until we get a diagnosis of - the usual suspects: heart disease, high cholesterol, cancer, IBS, arthritis, all the inflammatory diseases.

The good news is, that the health nutritional supplements that help reverse the above conditions, are easy to get.

Not only that, but the same remedies address conditions like heart disease, male potency, infertility, and more. So self-educating about natural remedies that occur in nutrition and understanding a little bit about why they help the body achieve optimum health, is never a waste of time.

Learning about foods that enhance the body's cardio-vascular system (heart, arteries, veins) respiratory system (lungs) musculo-skeletal system (bones, muscles) brain health and more is not that difficult.

You may have heard of ACCEL, the natural remedy CoQ10. In one instance that I know of, the formulation of this food supplement also contains tocotrienols which may:

* Boost heart arterial health to support healthy circulation
* Bring your cholesterol and soluble-fat blood levels into balance
* Help to keep your blood sugar levels normal
* Promote proper DNA and cell function

Together with tocopherols (other parts of Vitamin E) they give your body cardiovascular support by helping to squelch free radical damage.

If you have any issues with male potency, fertility, family history of heart disease, arthritis and more (nightmare) conditions, read all you can, and try out some readily available natural remedy (ies) (made from real food).

Al Sears, M.D. offers a no-risk purchase opportunity. Opened bottles can be returned as well, and you will not find that policy at most vitamin stores.

Primal Lean is a natural safe weight loss product which you can ingest daily. Best results are seen after a few weeks, approximately ten weeks. Your body resets its fat burning and metabolic processes.

Get More Flexible With Safe Stretching and All Natural Nutrition

2009-07-24T17:34:00.000-07:00

Stretching is stressful to your muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. How do you know if your diet is sufficiently full of the necessary building blocks which contribute to elasticity, strength, and the overall functionality of your bodies' tissues? What do you need to recover from the constant wear and tear on the soft tissues that you also depend on for strength?

If you are a ballet/sports/fitness/cheer leading athlete, recreational or pro, understanding minerals in the diet will help you succeed.

Trace minerals like cobalt, selenium, magnesium, and zinc play a vital role in dozens of biochemical processes such as tissue growth, healthy metabolism, and proper water retention.

These minerals work in collaboration with other vitamins and phytonutrients (plant nutrients), increasing their absorption and boosting their effectiveness.

Unfortunately, mechanized farming and the use of poisonous pesticides and fertilizers has separated minerals from the soil. Therefore, plants no longer provide grazing animals or humans with the rich mineral content we need for optimum health.

Trace minerals are essential, and should be added to your supplements. A daily dose of MSM, green extracts such as spirulina, chlorella, barley or wheat grass juice, (there are many "super green" type of mixtures available), vitamin C, and trace minerals help you stretch effectively and recover rapidly.

Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, has many beneficial nutritional qualities. Among them, it makes the cell walls more permeable to nutrients, helps balance the PH of the body, shrinks pain-causing swelling in arthritis conditions or other inflammatory responses, aids the body in using insulin efficiently (affecting weight loss/gain), and all of this enhances muscle tone and soft tissue conditions. MSM acts as a powerful antioxidant and will de-toxify the body too.

The overall effect of MSM is related to prevent/relieve inflammation and reduce recovery time.

Vitamin C plays a key role in regenerating soft tissues. A full form of this vitamin is desirable, with bioflavinoids included. Ascorbic acid is the preservative part of the vitamin to the other parts, so it is not enough to supplement with ascorbic acid crystals. Several health food store brands provide a good Vitamin C.

The dark berry juices and extracts (acai, noni, pomegranate, blueberry, concord grape) also provide minerals, anti-oxidants, and co-factors needed for optimum health.

"Your body is your instrument", is an old cliche. Treat it like you would a priceless violin. It's not replaceable. Combine good stretching exercises and ULTRA GREENS, and you have a winning combination.

Congestive Heart Failure - Organic Health Care Products Help

2009-07-23T14:15:00.000-07:00

An amazing simple nutrient,COQ-10 seems to reverse CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE all on its own.

Congestive heart failure is a lethal type form of heart disease that everyone wants to avoid. If a heart can't pump enough blood for the body's functions, fluid congestion may result. At that point there is risk of your vital organs such as lungs, brain and kidneys closing down.

About a fifth of the people who suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF) survive less than one year. Fifty percent die within five years.1

Researchers conducted a study using seven congestive heart failure patients. These people were given about 580 mg of ubiquinol CoQ10. (These individuals had been told they had a 6 per cent chance of surviving another year).

Six lived, and the patient who died had stopped taking the CoQ10 three months into the study.

This new form of Co Q 10 is 8 times the potency of previous forms. And despite the research, it seems that it is not a regular choice of treatment for CHF.

Common prescriptions for CHF include beta blockers, diuretics, vasodilators, ACE inhibitors, and even statins.

"Statins Inhibit Coenzyme Q10 Synthesis

Since coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and cholesterol are both synthesized from the same substance, mevalonate, statin drugs (Lipitor, Zocor, etc) also inhibit the body's synthesis of coenzyme Q10. This is not a "side effect," of statins, but a direct, inherent function of the drugs.

In fact, the use of statins can decrease the body's synthesis of coenzyme Q10 by as much as 40%!"

by Chris Masterjohn at http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Coenzyme-Q10.html

So even though low CoQ10 levels are considered to be an independent predictor of dying in CHF patients, supplementing CoQ10 is not a common treatment.
If you have already developed congestive heart failure, ubiquinol CoQ10 taken in the 450 mg to 900 mg range would be expected to achieve therapeutic benefits.

If you have a healthy heart, CoQ10 is the best way to maintain your health. Dr. Al Sears suggests taking 50 mg of the ubiquinol (the most digestible form) CoQ10 daily.

Weight Loss With A Natural Remedy

2009-07-06T12:23:00.000-07:00

PRIMAL LEAN started flying off the shelves in a matter of hours.

The unique combination of ingredients in Primal Lean gives you a remarkable opportunity. You safely and effectively reduce your appetite, while at the same time restore your body’s “fat signals” to a more youthful level.

The result: You get a slimmer, more youthful looking body. It’s the closest you’ll get to effortless weight loss.

When you take Primal Lean you lose the bulk of your appetite and your body gears down to make less – and store less – fat. It happens naturally and the formula is safe.

Dr. Sears tells his patients, “snacking becomes an option, not a necessity.”

In November of last year, Dr. Sears discovered a new study of a little known weight-loss herb called irvingia gabonensis. It’s from West Africa and has a normalizing effect on your body’s fat signals. These are the commands that determine the size and number of your fat cells.

He combined irvingia with three other weight-loss nutrients including something he had already been experimenting with, a seaweed extract called fucoxanthin.

The synergistic effect calms your appetite and resets your body’s fat signals. Synergy is when a group of ingredients combine to create an effect that would have been impossible if you had taken them on their own. That’s part of Primal Lean’s magic.

Together the four herbs and nutrients make a winning combination. You eat less… you burn fat… you make less fat. It’s a good deal.

When you take Primal Lean you’ll notice you don’t feel as hungry as you usually do. That gives you the freedom to eat less without feeling hungry or unsatisfied.

Primal Lean is one of my formulas I started taking even before it went to the manufacturer for bottling. I had my own private supply right here in my office. But after my staff found out, they were eager to try it. After that it was gone.

When Dr. Sears introduced Primal Lean on June 18th, it flew off the shelves and he quickly ran out. That’s why you haven’t heard about it since then… now the new delivery is available.

It’s so safe you can take it everyday. In fact, it looks like it works best when you keep taking it for 10 weeks or so… That gives your body time to reset and normalize.

Dr. Sears stands by it no matter what. If you try it and don’t like the results he’ll immediately refund your money.

Control Weight Gain - Increase Your Chromium in Food

Ignite your Native Power with Primal Force CHROMIUM PICOLINATE!

Some studies have noted that chromium has a benefit on lowering heart attack risk, and may help boost HDL levels. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has stated that an Adequate Intake for chromium is 25-35mcg per day, which was concluded by estimating the average amount of chromium a healthy American obtains from the foods they ingest. The AI for chromium is substantially lower than the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) of 120mcg.

Chromium has also been associated with the management of blood sugar. It has shown to assist the receptor sites in cells utilize insulin. Insulin resistance is the condition where you cells do not assimilate insulin, and can lead to Diabetes. Dr. Al Sears writes:

"....we've got a secret weapon to curb our cravings.

In fact, it makes losing that extra "insulation" that we all tend to pack on in the winter as easy as 1, 2, 3... three natural supplements that is.

They can help you:

* Achieve a leaner physique*
* Stop being a slave to food and start creating a healthy relationship with it*
* Maintain blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range to maintain ideal body functions*

The first one is Garcinia cambogia, a pumpkin-shaped fruit from Asia.

Garcinia's rind contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a natural appetite-suppressing compound.* In a Georgetown University Medical Center study, individuals taking HCA supplements decreased their appetite, lost a significant amount of weight, and helped maintain healthy cholesterol levels that were already within the normal range in just 8 weeks.1

And it does more than recondition your body to eat less. It also helps you lose weight by blocking the action of an enzyme called citrate lyase, which turns excess carbs into fat. So, instead of putting on the pounds, your body ends up using carbs more efficiently.*

The second gut-busting supplement is Hoodia.*

You've probably seen the stories featuring it on 60 Minutes, the Today Show and on ABC.

The third key nutrient is chromium.

Chromium is vital in helping to maintain blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.* So, if you have a sweet tooth, you definitely want to maintain a healthy chromium intake.

But, nutrition experts say that 90 percent of all adults in the U.S. suffer from chromium deficiency. So it's likely that you aren't getting enough of this nutrient.

But you can't take just any chromium. Some types may actually do more harm than good. And research shows that it needs niacin to be an effective supplement.

Look for chromium polynicotinate, or niacin-bound chromium, which is safe and effective as a dietary supplement.*"

Radioactive Pollution Effects - Can You Detox Those Heavy Metals?

2008-10-16T14:55:00.000-07:00

ULTRA GREENS - A GREEN FOOD SUPPLEMENT - what is it and why do you need it? Will it help to detox heavy metals - even radioactive metals?

The use of cruciferous vegetables has been documented for a few thousand years. Cabbage leaves were used to relieve inflammation, as a poultice as well as stop hair loss, remedy tumors, and even remove freckles. Richer in calcium than milk, broccoli, cauliflower,kale, and Brussel sprouts also are considered superfoods by juicers, vegetarians, and health conscious individuals.

These and other green vegetables, including marine foods, are not popular for flavor. Some find them indigestible. How can you eat enough of them for immune support?

Cruciferous vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage contain two antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, that are associated with helping to decrease prostate and other cancers.

Lutein is associated with diminishing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. As an antioxidant, lutein is 10 times as powerful as Vitamin E. The macula is the area of the eye that receives the most light, and is therefore vulnerable to UV rays, and subsequent degeneration. Lutein is yellow, and filters out the blue UV light that can cause damage to the eyes. Lutein must be obtained from our diet. It is found in high concentrations in spinach, broccoli, and collard greens.

Zeaxanthan is the other antioxidant deposited in the macula, and it also blocks the UV rays, protecting our eyes. Both lutein and zeaxanthin should be ingested with food, as they are fat soluble.

Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower have indole-3-carbinol, a chemical that can combat breast cancer by converting a cancer-promoting estrogen into a more protective type. So we can understand why The America Cancer Society promotes eating green vegetables.

Broccoli, especially sprouts, contain sulforaphane - believed to aid in preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer. It appears that the more bitter the broccoli is, the more potent this anti-cancer effect is. BroccoSprouts is a trade name for a broccoli sprout that has up to twenty times higher levels of sulforaphane than the levels found in mature heads of broccoli.

http://www.cancure.org/cancer_fighting_foods.htm has more details on this topic.

Green vegetables provide you with healthy complex carbohydrates, which keeps your blood sugar levels healthy. This will help with energy, especially if you are on a fat burning diet.

To get enough of these cruciferous superfoods along with fiber, probiotics, aloe vera, enzymes and healthy minerals, try ULTRA GREENS to help you remove radioactive pollution effects.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatments - How to Decrease the Appearance of Wrinkles Using a Natural Remedy

2008-07-21T17:10:00.000-07:00

Dr Sears says: "RADIANCE is your best ever opportunity to keep youthful skin as you age". Radiance is a formula with the best skin oils, the best antioxidant and the best acid for your skin's rejuvenation.

While beauty is only skin deep, and wrinkle decrease skin cream can cost a fortune, or be a cheap cosmetic you wouldn't want to use as an anti-aging skin care, Radiance skin rejuvenation treatments with omega 3 oils, are the healthiest beauty treatments. As many people in medical studies, or on their own, are adding specific oils to their diet to prevent or treat high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and many other debilitating conditions, they are finding that their hair, skin and nails are improving too.

What a delightful bonus. Ads about cosmetics bombard us hourly on television, and in fashion magazines. There are so many wrinkle decrease blogs, wrinkle decrease bloggers and wrinkle decrease chats going on, that it is mind boggling.

It comes as good news that the omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial to skin health, because they prevent or sooth inflammation. Wrinkles in our skin are caused by inflammation and lack of good oils. Yet here is a natural remedy, combined into a food supplement and available to you right now.

How to wrinkle decrease even better, is to understand the balance of omega 6 oils and omega 3 oils. Omega 6 oils, found in grain-fed animal fats, and most vegetable oils, (therefore most salad dressings) and many nuts, is not bad for us. However, we must limit the ingestion of omega 6 oils, because they promote an inflammatory response in the body, or in our skin.

Omega 3 fatty acids, are opposite in biochemical affect. They decrease or prevent inflammation in the body. Ideally if you were to eat a certain number of grams of omega 6 oil, say from a peanut butter sandwich, you would want to eat the same amount of omega 3 fatty acids, or oils, in the same day.

The deluxe oils for RADIANCE skin rejuvenation treatmentsare borage seed oil, black current seed oil, and Evening Primrose Oil. Cold pressed, they are fresh encapsulated.

Shocker - Sugar and Inflammation Make Life Less Sweet

2008-07-08T19:10:00.000-07:00

Even though I have long been aware of the detrimental effects of sugar, while reading articles on sugar and the resulting inflammatory havoc it causes in the human brain and body, I found it to be a real shocker. Not conducive to optimum health. Blood sugar, insulin and insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and many resulting degenerative diseases are all part of this picture. It is not news to me, but the info overload I found on sugar and inflammation was amazing.

A Japanese study evaluated the role of diet on inflammatory bowel disease. Included in the study were 111 people with ulcerative colitis who were given food questionnaires.

The survey found a higher consumption of sweets was positively associated with ulcerative colitis risk, and vitamin C was found to have a protective effect. A higher intake of vitamin C was related to a lower risk of ulcerative colitis. (common foods rich in vitamin C are red bell peppers, parsley, strawberries, and spinach).

One thing that is important to understand is Glycemic Index or GI. GI is a property of carbohydrate foods. It describes the rise of blood sugar occurring after a meal. Foods that are rapidly digested and absorbed or transformed metabolically into glucose have a high GI. The Glycemic Index of a meal is determined mainly by the amount of carbohydrate eaten and by other dietary factors affecting digestion, gastrointestinal motility, or insulin secretion (these factors include type of carbohydrate, food structure, fiber, protein, and fat). Most North American common starchy foods such as refined grain products and potatoes, have a high GI, more than that of even table sugar by up to 50%. Most vegetables, legumes, and some fruits generally have lower GI.

So the faster the foods show up as sugar in our blood, the faster inflammatory responses occur. This is dangerous for a diabetic, but slow or fast, the inflammation is destructive to all of us. High blood sugar damages the nervous system, the blood vessels, (which then get "repaired" by cholesterol deposits), and since our blood vessels go everywhere in our body, every part of our brain and body gets gradually eroded. Name a disease, it is related to this process.

Learning about YOUR appropriate carbohydrate intake is the key. Simple carbohydrates are sugars in some form, complex carbohydrates are the whole foods that contain them. Cake, crackers, rice cakes, popcorn, breads, taco shells, burrito wraps, perogie shells and pie shells are not whole foods, just to be specific. They are combined simple carbohydrates and will promote inflammation faster.

Eating the foods that preserve, repair and build the body tissues, like antioxidants, omega 3 oils and vitamins and minerals, is the positive side of this expensive coin. (It's the cost of your life!).

Understanding carbohydrates means you can avoid inflammation, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and stay diabetes free. Exercise, fats, stress levels, personal happiness, are factors that effect your chronic inflammation level also. So go for optimum health!

Understand omega 3 Fatty Acid and Help Your Asthma

2008-06-08T11:23:00.000-07:00

Researchers now suggest that the epidemic of childhood asthma is associated with a change in the omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio in the diet. It used to be around 5:1, (omega 6 to omega 3) but is now closer to 15:1. The researchers found that children who regularly consumed fresh, oily fish (such as mullet, orange roughy, Atlantic salmon or rainbow trout which contains more than two per cent fat) had a four times lower risk of developing asthma than did children who rarely or never ate oily fish.

Researchers now report that supplementation with fish oil has shown to reduce asthma symptoms in children with long-term bronchial asthma. One study involved 29 children between the ages of 8 and 14 years who had suffered from asthma for an average of 10 years and had at some point been admitted to the hospital. Some children in the study were chosen to receive fish oil capsules, and others received capsules (olive oil) three times daily, for slightly less than a year.

The amount of fish oil given to the children varied, and was measured according to their body weight. After the therapy, the asthma score, a measure of the severity and frequency of attacks, had dropped from an average of 21 to an average of 6 in the group of children who had been given the fish oil group, but with no significant change in the group of children that had been given the olive oil.

The risk reduction for asthma attacks persisted even after taking into consideration other risk factors like their parents suffering from asthma, or smoking, and early respiratory infections.

Consumption of non-oily fish and canned fish did not appear to reduce the incidents of asthma attacks.

Fish oil contains the two omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid DHA. Researchers have stated speculation that EPA can prevent asthma, or may reduce its severity by lessening airway inflammation.

Some studies have shown that populations with a high intake of fish oils have fewer occurrences of inflammatory diseases like asthma.

Omega 3's such as OMEGANOLhave been studied in inflammatory conditions apart from asthma and have shown benefits.

This is why I hope that there will be continued interest in fish oils and how, when added to the diet, help with asthma. Some studies have shown that lung function test results improved to the level below where exercise induced asthma is diagnosed, that the amount of bronchodilator medication use was decreased, and that the levels of inflammatory markers in sputum was reduced.

So the studies' conclusions show that fish oil may be a potentially helpful non drug treatment for asthma, especially exercise induced asthma.

Since it is known that omega 3 oils help strengthen the integrity of cell walls, and help heal cellular tissues, it makes sense that giving your family a fish oil supplement like OMEGANOL, omega 3 oils, would improve chances for optimum results with family health.

Omega 6 fats are also good fats, but you need to make sure you eat omega 3 fats as well. Because fish contain industrial contaminants, supplementation with purified fish oil is a good idea. You can help your asthma, and address other inflammatory or potentially inflammatory conditions. Inflammation is aging!

Anti-Aging Nutrition, Anti-Aging Education and Brain Healing

2008-05-30T15:47:00.000-07:00

Studies show that anti inflammatory omega 3 fats help to protect your brain from degeneration, and your bones from osteoporosis. How to choose the right fats is an important part of your anti-aging education. There is good evidence that if you eat these 'good' fats that are a ruling factor in influencing the rate of bone breakdown, you will be contributing to preserving your bone density. And the health of that precious brain.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in high concentrations in some of the wild-caught cold-water fish, like salmon, for instance, and can significantly decrease bone breakdown.

In women, these beneficial omega-3 fats work with estrogen to stimulate bone mineral deposits and slow the rate of bone breakdown. But it's not simply a matter of consuming more omega-3 rich foods; you also need to consume less of foods containing omega-6 fats. Increasing your consumption of omega-3s and decreasing your consumption of omega-6 fats (i.e., arachidonic acid, which is found in meat and dairy products), more effectively reduces bone reabsorption.

* Arachidonic acid is used by the body to produce the Series 2 prostaglandins (PGE2), an inflammatory mediator.

* PGE2 can set off inflammatory chain reactions that break down cartilage and trigger increased activity by osteoclasts, the cells which to break down or resorb old bone.

* These two mechanisms help explain why increasing consumption of cold-water fish, which increase your omega 3 oil intake, while decreasing consumption of meat and dairy products, which increase your omega 6 oil intake, can produce remarkable positive effects in people with bone and joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

* These same mechanisms also appear to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

And what about brain health? Get some OMEGANOL with Omega 3 oils and improve your brain health. If you have any particular concerns, ask your doctor.

Get the best COD LIVER OIL

Recently I enjoyed Dr. Amen's "Change Your Brain Change Your Life" presentation on PBS. His experience with omega 3 fatty acids for brain healing and other health benefits is well worth investigating for yourself.

The usual way to ingest omega 3 oils is to eat more fish like salmon, mackeral, tuna, and sardines. Unfortunately, since fish are now so horribly contaminated with mercury and other substances that can destroy our health, purified fish oils are a necessity. We can still eat fish, but not every day.
