Hello Everyone,

I’d like to inform you about a topic that effects more people than anything else that I can think of and that is your immune system and what you can do to help yourself win the battle against infectious disease. In the next hour, infectious diseases will end another 1,500 lives. Your immune system is constantly being bombarded every day. Usually we can withstand this unless we are over stressed and are not consuming the proper foods and vitamins to give our immune system the boost necessary to prevent diseases from infecting us.

We need immune- supporting ingredients delivered to our systems.
One example of a something our body needs for defense is probiotics. They cause the good bacteria in our bodies to not leave room for the bad, harmful, disease causing strains. So through competitive inhibition we are kept free of salmonella,E.coli and other food borne bacteria.

Flora is a vital part of what we need for optimal health. Bowel flora becomes depleted by stress, carbonated drinks,laxatives,birth control pills, and lack of sleep.

There are signs today that probiotics depletion is becoming widespread,and as a result, infectious diseases, which were once considered to be under control have re-emerged more often than ever. Flues and colds are more frequent and debilitating than ever before.

Doctors today subscribe antibiotics that not only kill the bad bacteria but also the good strains that are beneficial to our systems.

Improving and protecting your immune system from the effects of stress and new lifestyles is a matter making good food choices and take a food supplement that will help our system get the most from what we eat.

There is a new formulation that I believe in today. It has proven itself to me and thousands of others to be the best whole food vitamin supplement on the market. Try it today and within one week you will feel the difference.

Good Health To You,

R.J.Davis

At the present time, one out of ten adults have some form of Alzheimer disease. According to Dr. Greengard, Director of the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research at the Rockefeller University, that number is expected to strike up to three times as many in the coming decades. Alzheimer’s is considered a disease of the elderly and with the average lifespan of the US population rising to 74, a solution to the medical problem is being sought.

For Scientists the largest concern is what causes Alzheimer’s and how can it be eradicated. For possible victims and their families it is how do we prevent the dreaded affliction or stop it in its tracks once it is diagnosed.

Scientists are in agreement and have narrowed down the contributing factor causing Alzheimer’s disease. Most researchers agree that Beta-amyloid is one of the agents thought to cause damage to the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. The research is attempting to find a deterrent and is recognizing antioxidants to be significant in protecting at risk patients.

According to the Harvard Medical Center, continuing research and studies are being conducted with some positive results. Even though some studies by the French point to wine as a protectant, the results are considerably controversial. The component in the wine that was indicated to be responsible for the protectant agent is still somewhat ambiguous.

Recent studies, including the study on wine, point to antioxidants for Alzheimer and Dementia risk reduction.

In an Italian study conducted by A. Russo, et.al., it was found that black grape skin extract protected cells in a test tube from oxidative damage and DNA fragmentation when exposed to beta-amyloid. An even more recent study by E. Savaskan, et.al, examined the red wine ingredient resveratrol, and found it to be neuroprotective against beta-amyloid oxidative stress, again supporting an antioxidant mechanism.

What these studies point to is, red wine may have an effect that could provide some protection against Alzheimer’s disease, but indication says it is the antioxidant factor that is the hero. This is consistent with the fact that other antioxidants, most notably vitamin E, are being studied with great interest as potential protective agents against Alzheimer’s disease. According to Dr. Steve Seiner, of Harvard Medical School, “While the results of these studies do not necessarily suggest that people should drink wine in order to lower their risk of Alzheimer’s disease, they do support the potential role of antioxidant treatment in preventing or delaying Alzheimer’s disease.

In another study by Robert P. Friedland, MD chief of the neurogeriatrics laboratory at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, “If antioxidants prove to protect against Alzheimer’s disease, it is probably because they reduce what is called ‘oxidative stress’ in cells.” He went on to say that his team believes free radicals are the culprit of oxidative stress in cells caused by the inappropriate consumption of some foods such as those in high fat content. In this study Friedland is recommending a “to-do” list for those who want to improve their chances of maintaining a healthy brain. He suggests:

• Eat a diet high in antioxidants

• Eat fish

• Take vitamin E

• Take B vitamins

• Take folic acid

• Be mentally and physically active throughout life

• Avoid head injuries

When addressing the reduction of free radicals it is essential to recognize the importance of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) as the most powerful antioxidant known in scientific studies. OPC’s are products commonly derived from a combination of grape seed extract, red wine extract and/or pine bark extract. They are very powerful bioflavanoids used as a natural food supplement ready to be absorbed into the body and begin to attack the free radicals.

OPC’s are safe and have been used for over 20 years throughout Europe. Extensive studies and laboratory testing reveal no evidence for human toxicity, allergic reactions, birth defects, or carcinogenicity. OPC’s work synergistically with other antioxidant vitamins, regenerating the antioxidant properties of vitamin C and vitamin E.

However, Bill Thies, PhD, vice president of medical and scientific affairs for the Alzheimer’s Association says although Friedmand’s recommendations are probably useful and that he agrees with all of them, he wants to “be very clear that the association is not making any recommendations about ways to prevent Alzheimer’s. Thies is, however, involved in reading and learning about all studies concerning Alzheimer’s Disease.

A study conducted in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Dr. Monique Breteler with the Eras UM Medical Center, found the antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E appear to be equally protective as a reducing factor in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Her results of the 5,000 volunteers over the past 14 years, confirmed some earlier studies that point to antioxidants as a way to lower risk of dementia. She also said the protective effect of antioxidants was “more pronounced among smokers and among those who are carriers of the Alzheimer’s gene.”

It was also pointed out that diets rich in antioxidants are helpful, but in order to consume the necessary requirements, a person would have to triple, or more, their current consumption, which Breteler says, is most unlikely. Recommendations for proper amounts of ingestion are through antioxidant supplements including OPC’s, vitamin E and vitamin C.

The B5 vitamin is also known as Pantothenic Acid. The B5 vitamin is the most prolific of all the vitamins and is found in every type of food. In fact, it is impossible for a person to consume less B5 vitamin than they need. That means that there is no little possibility that a person can have a B5 vitamin deficiency. For this reason, there is actually no recommended daily amount that health professionals can state as everyone obtains more than enough from their normal food consumption. However, even though there is no need to calculate a recommended daily allowance it does not mean that the B5 vitamin is not vital for a healthy body and mind. In fact, the B5 vitamin is essential for turning food into energy amongst other functions. The B5 vitamin is responsible for taking the fats and carbohydrates into energy.

Some B5 vitamin can be found in almost every food whether it is animal or vegetable. Obviously there are some sources of the B5 vitamin that are better than others but a balanced diet will provide more than enough. The foods with the highest B5 vitamin content are organ meats, salmon, eggs, beans, milk, and whole grains. It is worth noting that the B5 vitamin is lost when grains are milled into flour and tends not to beaded back in. Therefore, processed grain foods such as bread, pasta, rice, breakfast cereal, and baked goods are not good sources of the B5 vitamin.

The B5 vitamin is the most effective when it is combined with other B vitamins especially thiamin or B1, riboflavin or B2, niacin or B3, pyridoxine or B6, and biotin. Along with these other B vitamins, the B5 vitamin is an integral part in a number of processes. The most important of these is the production of energy from food that is consumed and this is known as the Kreb’s cycle. The B5 vitamin is also required for releasing energy from fats.

Interestingly, the B5 vitamin is also considered to be helpful in reducing stress. This is chiefly due to the fact that during periods of stress, the body produces more of certain hormones such as adrenalin and these require the B5 vitamin. There are many theories as to the benefits of the B5 vitamin but there is no need for the majority of people to actively seek out foods that are high in B5 as they are likely to be consuming far more than is needed already. There are no adverse effects to consuming too much B5 vitamin.

East Meets West

Asian cultures have realized the medical benefits of green tea for centuries. Those who drank it lived longer, healthier lives. Now science has discovered the reason behind the green tea phenomenon. Polyphenols, the antioxidants in green tea, can actually help lower cholesterol and promote healthy heart function. Plus studies show it is a great weight loss aid, helping to boost metabolism and suppress appetite. Given the amount of green tea needed to deliver these health benefits, it is almost impossible to drink enough in our busy lives.

Across the ocean in Polynesia, Noni is used for its’ health-regenerating properties. Polynesians rubbed this tropical fruit on burns and sores to relieve pain. Extensive research has finally unlocked the secret of Noni. The polysaccharides in Noni are different than the typical sugar type. Those in Noni are actually a form of dietary fiber, promoting proper digestion and enhancing your immune system. Unfortunately, the awful taste and foul odor prevent most of us from drinking it.

Green Tea Meets Noni

When combined, one would think green tea and Noni would make an unpalatable combination. However, just the opposite occurs. These two bitter ingredients actually become a tasty and powerful blend, known as TsuNoni.

In fact, this synergistic result is so rare, TsuNoni was issued a patent. When separate, Noni contains 11 mgs of antioxidants per gram and green tea has 88 mgs per gram. But when combined, lab studies prove these super-foods deliver 47% more antioxidants per gram. This 1+1=3 combination packs over 400 mgs of polyphenols and 70 mgs of polysaccharides per serving. TsuNoni is a healthy, effervescent fusion that tastes absolutely amazing.

TsuNoni is a tasty and powerful blend of green tea and Noni.

All of my life I believed the best way to eat blueberries was with a muffin wrapped around them. No way could plain off-the-bush berries taste good. Well, lo and behold, I’ve been eating blueberries by the handful and they are fabulous! I can tolerate them with my gastric bypass system, I don’t overeat or get sick with them. Best of all blueberries are in season now available at supermarkets and farm stands.

With flavors that range from mildly sweet to tart and tangy, blueberries are healthy superstars bursting with nutrition and flavor while being very low in calories. Blueberries are at their best from May through October when they are in season. Researchers at Tufts University say blueberries rank number one of fruits and vegetables when it comes to destroying harmful free radicals.

When purchasing: select blueberries that are firm and have a lively, uniform hue colored with a whitish bloom. Shake the container, noticing whether berries have the tendency to move freely; if they do not, this may indicate that they are soft and damaged or moldy. Avoid berries that appear dull in color or are soft and watery in texture. They should be free from moisture since the presence of water will cause the berries to decay.

Storing: Ripe blueberries should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator where they will keep for about a week, although they will be freshest if consumed within a few days. Always check berries before storing and remove any damaged berries to prevent the spread of mold. But don’t wash berries until right before eating as washing will remove the bloom that protects the fruit’s skin from degradation. If kept out at room temperature for more than a day, the berries may spoil.

Ripe berries can also be frozen, although this will slightly change their texture and flavor. Before freezing, wash, drain and remove any damaged berries. To better ensure uniform texture upon thawing, spread the berries out on a cookie sheet or baking pan, place in the freezer until frozen, then put the berries in a plastic bag for storage in the freezer. Berries should last up to a year in the freezer.

Teenagers of today boys and girls alike want a good look. “Good looks” here means a great shape of the body. The great shape of the body is attributed to a good work out and a healthy diet. With the evolving life styles one finds little time for work out. So the girls and boys of today are on the look for an easy way out. Who has grasped this market more than pharmaceutical companies? Youngsters of today have tried everything in the book and things out of the book too for the thin and hip look. These include skipping breakfast, smoking, vomiting and taking diet pills.

The mentors of these youngsters are film personalities and sports persons. What they don’t realize is that these people have worked hard to get their bodies in that shape. They have not popped just any pill and have stayed in shape. Do you realize that they are working out for a minimum of three hours a day to stay that way? Let alone three hours, can you work one hour a day? I assure you that you will look that way.

Healthy has lost its meaning to a great shape. Thinner does not mean prettier or healthier.

Though Phentermine has been in use for quite a long time, it does not mean that this is a drug with no side effects. Phentermine works like an amphetamine. This drug intercepts the messages of the stomach to the brain and your hunger pangs are lost.

Phentermine is available on the internet and can be purchased freely. However for your own good health it is advisable to consult your doctor and get full medical check up done to see your medical condition before starting on the drug. Take the pill as recommended by your doctor at the prescribed times only. Do not take an over dose as this is not going to help you lose weight drastically. This drug is quite helpful in making you lose weight as it is, if you follow it to the dose. Take the pill with a glass of water, do not crush the pill in your mouth or break the capsule before consumption.

In case you are experiencing any side effects discontinue you medication and see the doctor immediately. You may have a feeling of dizziness or drowsiness on consumption of the pill. However these are normal reactions and the precautions that you should take are, do not drive when in such condition. Do not work with heavy machinery like lathes or operate cranes which have a heavy load suspended on them.

As you are taking Phentermine, learn to develop good eating habits and abstain from eating fried food and high calorific foods. If you are going to eat fatty foods and at the same time take Phentermine then taking Phentermine is going to be of no use for your health. Try to develop an exercise regime. This will also be beneficial for your health, as it will help you slim down and continue the same diet and exercise regime even after you’re stopping the consumption of the diet pills. Hip looks is not healthy, staying fit is healthy.

Decide for yourself whether Phentermine is right for you when you visit PhenForum.com, the phentermine discussion forum and weight loss support group offering extensive research on Phentermine diet pills as well as weight loss tips for healthy, permanent weight loss.

Living a healthy life is a major challenge in our lives today. In spite of all the hype about a healthy diet, exercise and numerous supplements, good health in the true sense of the word still remains a cause of concern for all of us. All attempts to rid our bodies of diseases result either in partial success or in some other side effects. Every time the concept of a healthy mind in a healthy body evades us. To understand why this happens we must have an idea of what constitutes the human body and how it functions.

Colloidal mineral is trace mineral suspended in a liquid.

The human system requires various nutrients and micro-nutrients to function in an optimal manner. Some of these micro-nutrients are trace minerals, which are vital to the proper functioning of the body. Colloidal Minerals are needed to maintain the delicate cellular fluid balance, to form bone and blood cells, to provide for electrochemical nerve activity, and to regulate muscle tone and activity (including organ muscles like the heart, stomach, liver, etc.). Any imbalance in trace minerals causes a malfunction, which in scientific terminology is called disease. Here it is important to note that while our body is capable of synthesizing several essential compounds on its own, it is not capable of synthesizing its own minerals.

These colloidal minerals therefore must be supplied through the diet or supplements. But the unhealthy modern lifestyles and depleted foods are unable to provide sufficient supply of these trace minerals. In case of processed foods, which are so much in vogue these days the processing leaches out valuable trace minerals required by our bodies thus, necessitating supplementation. A normal diet does not contain the recommended daily dose (RDA) of most colloidal minerals and this makes supplementation crucial.

Research shows that an inadequate supply of trace minerals leads to a variety of diseases including depression, low back pain, arthritis, poor digestion, mental disorders and cardiovascular disease. Not surprisingly these studies also relate mineral deficiency to inadequate diet—-foods which are nutrient-poor, highly processed foods including white flour, refined sugar and harmful fats.

Thus we see that colloidal minerals are exogenously sourced micro-nutrients crucial to the smooth execution of innumerable functions within the human body. These essential atomic particles are integral to maintaining tissues, producing energy, synthesizing hormones and repairing cellular damage. Colloidal Minerals also commonly partner with enzymesintricate proteins produced by living cellsto catalyze biochemical reactions. Trace Minerals also help reduce the probability of all kinds of infections as they render valuable support to the immune system.

Coming to supplementation, the issue of bio-availability is of particular relevance. In simple words, these trace minerals will not be accepted by the human body in crude form. If taken as such they may result in toxicity. We therefore must study numerous factors that can affect mineral absorption, including overall health status, interaction with other nutrients, the presence of certain other diseases and conditions, age and delivery method.

Fortunately, mineral absorption can be increased in most individuals by learning how to take supplemental minerals, improving diet, obtaining adequate exercise, nutrition, rest and reducing stress.

Absorption is the key to colloidal mineral assimilation. If trace minerals are mined from hard rock minerals, the intake is not natural and could be toxic. Trace minerals are normally taken up into the plant, from the ground, through the root, into the leaf or fruit. Consumption of the edible part of the plant allows the colloidal mineral to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Discovery of ancient plants rich in trace minerals have been unearthed and now are made available in a colloidal mineral solution. The body easily assimilates these colloidal minerals that are plant derived. This natural form of mineral is preferred by the body and will not cause toxicity when taken in the recommended amounts.

The following is a list of trace minerals that should be found in your choice for a colloidal mineral supplement:

Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Boron, Bromine, Cadmium, Calcium, Carbon, Cerium, Cesium, Chloride, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Fluoride, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Gold, Hafnium, Holmium, Hydrogen, Indium, Iodine, Iridium, Iron, Lanthanum, Lead, Lithium, Lutetium, Magnesium, Manganese, Mercury, Molybdenum, Neodymium, Nickel, Niobium, Nitrogen, Osmium, Oxygen, Palladium, Phosphorus, Platinum, Potassium, Praseodymium, Rhodium, Rubidium, Ruthenium, Samarium, Scandium,
Selenium, Silicon, Silver, Sodium, Strontium, Sulfur, Tantalum, Tellurium, Terbium, Thallium, Thorium, Thulium, Thulium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Vanadium, Ytterbium, Yttrium, Zinc and Zirconium.

Look for as many of these minerals in your colloidal mineral supplement that are derived from plants.

Getting enough rest at night is very important to your overall health and well being. Lack of sleep causes a lot of health related problems like weak immune system, shortened temper, poor eating habits and much more. The reason is you are designed to sleep. It is highly recommended by the FDA that you get 6-8 hours of it, but millions of us don’t. We find it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. Now there is something you can do about it. Taking a natural sleep aid called melatonin can help you sleep better.

Taking melatonin supplements helps your body fall asleep faster and longer nature’s way. The reason is simple. Your body already produces melatonin, however, as we age the production slows way down. So, instead of sleeping through the night we toss and turn and before we know it the alarm is going off! The bodies natural function of sleeping remains in balance with Mother Nature. When it gets dark your body starts to release melatonin in your system to make you tired, but if you aren’t getting enough then your body wants to stay awake.

Sleep, a good diet, and frequent exercise are key ingredients to your health. When one of them falls behind your entire health falls behind. That’s why it is so important to make sure you get the proper rest. Millions of people suffer from lack of sleep. This is now labeled a “condition.” The good news is there is something you can do about it. The safe and all natural sleep aid melatonin is one of the best on the market.

Melatonin is safe because your body already produces it. Another very good reason melatonin supplements are safe because unlike prescription sleeping pills, melatonin is non-habit forming. What a great supplement. You get a good nights rest and you can feel good about doing it. Recent studies also suggest that this natural supplement aids in boosting the immune system.

Natural sleep aids are all around us, but melatonin is pulling it’s weight as being the best. If you travel frequently, work long hours, or just find it hard to fall asleep at night then melatonin is a good supplement to help you. Of course following the labels instruction is a must, melatonin doesn’t seem to have side effects and those few who do have them report of drogginess in the morning. This supplement should be taken with care and give yourself at least eight hours a night for good rest.

Though no one can claim supplements can cure, or diagnose anything but the FDA, melatonin supplements have shown promise to people everyday and helps them sleep better. Melatonin can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer and the best part is it’s an all natural sleep aid. No prescription needed.

Sweating, without replacing all the lost nutrients is practically suicide! And if you think that sugar-flavoured and multi-coloured ’sports water’ is going to do the trick, then think again.

Pretty hard words - but consider this: training, sport and ’sweating it out’ make you feel great and are a terrific way to develop both physically and mentally. However here’s an important tip, if you think that training and sport without taking sports nutritional supplements will help you live longer . . . think again.

When you sweat, you’re not just sweating out salt and water or Gatorade for that matter. Sweat contains everything in your blood - more than 60 different minerals, rare trace minerals, vitamins, electrolytes and amino acids.

Most cheap and well known sports drinks, even with healthy eating, are just not enough to replace everything you lose which means that if you don’t put back these nutrients you are very likely to develop a nutritional deficiency disease.

Sports drinks are supposed to replace nutrients lost during exertion, however most contain nothing more than sugar, salt, potassium and food coloring.

An easily recognized and common early warning sign of nutrient deficiency is that tired and burned out feeling. Most of us just try harder until we become completely exhausted, chronically fatigued and unable to train. This situation can be easily corrected with correct sports nutritional supplementation.

According to the Centre for Disease Control in the US, each year over 100,000 people from youngsters to professional athletes die suddenly during exercise and sporting events, or immediately after. Out of these, 30-35% die of a ruptured aneurysm (which is where you lose major blood volume from a break in an artery) and over 65% die of a cardiomyopathy heart attack.
According to Naturopath and author, Dr Joel Wallach, the veterinary industry has known since the late 1950’s that the cause of a ruptured aneurysm is a copper deficiency and the cause of cardiomyopathy heart attack is a selenium deficiency.

Here are some other facts about sport and health:

• Evander Holyfield was once banned from boxing because of his heart condition and after his physician put him on a selenium sports nutritional supplement he soon passed his cardiogram and went back into boxing.

• James Fixx wrote books telling everyone about the benefits of running for your health . . and died at 52 from a heart attack.

• Leonard Hilton ran the sub 4-minute mile 32 times and followed the teachings of James Fixx and also died at the age of 52.

• An increasing number of professional athletes need to quit their sport because of joint problems and frequently have joint replacement surgery.

Sports Nutritional Supplements - The Right Ones Will Extend Your Sporting Life

The bottom line is you need to put back the nutrients you’re losing. While most people, especially professional athletes, are aware they need to put back some of the things they’re sweating out, they need to make sure that they’re using a source that is highly absorbable and contains the complete spectrum of nutrients.

Unless you’re using a source of highly absorbable minerals, trace minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids and amino acids, you’re not going to be able to sustain your health and longevity and you’ll eventually suffer one or a number of deficiency diseases, from damaged bones and joints to a heart attack.

Sports nutritional supplements should consist of plant derived liquid minerals, additional liquid calcium and essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids and health supplements which support the bones and joints.

When selecting a brand of Colostrum, you should be sure that it is collected within 24 hours of birth, as that is the time period in which Colostrum has the highest concentration of important immune and growth factors. For best results, Colostrum should not have been exposed to high heat pasteurization, which can cause damage to many of the contained proteins. Processing methods may vary between products, but it is always a good idea to confirm that the product you are purchasing is 100% free of growth hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. The Colostrum products recommended by ImmuneWellness.com are guaranteed to be free of these substances.

Some lactose-intolerant persons express significant concern about taking colostrum, because they are worried about having an allergic reaction. These concerns, however, are unfounded, as true Colostrum contains almost no lactose, and should not present a problem to even the most lactose intolerant people. You can be assured that Colostrum is completely safe to take, and does not have any major side effects or negative drug interactions.

When you being taking Colostrum, the obvious question would be how much you should take. The answer to this varies from person to person, but in general it is a good idea to begin by taking 2 - 4 capsules twice daily, then move to lower “maintenance” doses once the desired results have been achieved. If the benefits you have experienced diminish when moving to a lower dose, go back to your initial dosage.

Although very uncommon, some people have experienced a “healing incident” when they begin taking colostrum. Symptoms of this can include mild digestive problems or flu like symptoms. In general, you shouldn’t worry about this as it is just a sign of the body healing and releasing toxins, and nearly always goes away within a day or two. If you experience any severe discomfort, you should stop taking Colostrum for a couple of days, then resume at a lower quantity, and slowly increase your intake until your reach optimum levels.
