Healthy Coffee: A Healthy Alternative To Your Favorite Cup Of Joe

By healthycupofcoffee

Are you the type of person who can’t start your day until you get that first cup of coffee ? Do you find yourself at Starbucks 2 or 3 times a day to feed your coffee addiction? Coffee is the most sought out beverage and is enjoyed by millions of people daily. Most coffee drinkers do not realize that their favorite cup of joe is actually bad for their health.

Most health professionals advise their patients to stay away from coffee for health reasons. The reason for this advice is because coffee is very acidic and dehydrates the body giving your body an acidic Ph level. An acidic Ph level is the breeding ground for most degenerative diseases. Do you know that it takes 17 glasses of water to neutralize the acid in 1 cup of coffee! It also takes 2 glasses of water to offset the dehydration that occurs from drinking  1 cup of coffee. Not too mention coffee has a large amount of caffeine giving you the “jitters”. I have stayed away from coffee for that mere reason because I am very sensitive to caffeine. Like cigarette smoking most people will continue to drink coffee even though it’s bad for their health because caffeine can be an addiction. Unfortunately for smokers there is no healthy cigarettes, but good news for coffee drinkers there is a healthy coffee available!

Gano Brand Coffee has been in business for over 30 years offering a healthy alternative to regular coffee. Gano Brand Coffee has combined the great taste of Brazilian coffee with Gandoderma or “reishi” giving coffee drinkers a  delicious healthy cup of coffee. What makes Gano Brand Coffee healthy is the powerful herb  “resihi” which is used in every cup of coffee and has been used over 4000 years by the Chinese.  The Reishi herb is said to be more powerful than Ginseng with over 200 antioxidants,vitamins and minerals. This is also great for those decaf drinkers because with Gano Brand Coffee the powerful herb “reishi” offsets the caffeine in the coffee so no more caffeine jitters! Let’s look at some of the benefits of drinking healthy coffee than regular coffee.

Advantages of Healthy Coffee

• Improved Energy
• Increased Stamina
• Improved Sleep
• Better Sense Of Well Being
• Antioxidants,Vitamins,Minerals to Fight Degenerative Diseases
• No Caffeine “jitters”

Regular Unhealthy Coffee

• Acidic giving your body a high acidic Ph level
• Dehydration
• Caffeine “jitters”
  
• Insomnia
  
• Zero Health Benefits

The benefits of healthy coffee are overwhelming not only is it delicious and better tasting then regular coffee but it’s actually good for you! So why wouldn’t you get your coffee fix while improving your health? Most people think that healthy coffee is expensive but that’s not the case! How much did you spend at Starbucks in a week? For 2 cups of  unhealthy Starbucks coffee you could of bought 20 cups of Gano Brand healthy coffee! At $9.95 per box(20 servings) you can not only improve your health but you can save money!

If your still not convinced that healthy coffee exists then please take time to watch a short video done by my good friend Dr. Stuart Hoover (NHD). Dr. Hoover has been a homeopathic doctor for over a decade and has researched and tested thousands of  health products. He has given Gano Brand Coffee the highest marks in quality versus the so called other “healthy” coffee products. In his video he will explain why you should be drinking Gano Brand healthy coffee and how it can benefit you. Go to www.healthycupofcoffee.info to view this amazing video.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I hope it helped open your mind to a healthy alternative to your favorite cup of joe. And as always here’s to your health!

Everyday I take a small handful of supplements. If I forget to take my vitamins, my brain starts to feel hazy in the afternoon. Currently I’m taking 2 Women’s Ultra Mega Active by GNC, 1 gingko biloba, 1 cell activator by Herbalife, and grapeseed and reservatrol.

For what seems like forever, parents around the world have struggled with the daunting task of getting good, solid nutrition into their kids. First there is the challenge of getting them the good whole foods that their bodies need: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, essential fats, whole grains and legumes. You know, the kinds of things that many kids haven’t yet discovered a taste for. “If they don’t like it, they’re not going to eat it.”

Next, there’s the issue of the nutritional value they actually would get IF you could get them to eat any nutritional food. The nutrients simply are no longer in our food supply as they once were, regardless of your food source. Here’s just one example that illustrates the depetion of our soils, the poluting of our oceans and the effects of toxins in every facet of our food chain. Do you realize that today you’d have to eat 53 peaches to get the nutritional value you got from eating just 2 peaches fifty years ago? Our foods simply do not have the nutrients any longer that our bodies require to function properly and fight disease.

And lastly, when parents finally do realize they need to supplement their kids diets, they’re lost in a sea of claims and testimonials they can’t verify or believe, leaving them overwhelmed and at a loss to choose any sound product at all, let alone the best one available.

Now imagine a product with independent scientific testing, produced by a globally recognized and respected research and development company, that resembled a Starburst candy or chew. Here is a list of the nutrition (vitamin and mineral values) your child gets from eating just two of Mannatech’s PhytoBurst chews:

It’s true! Two little PhytoBurst candy chews that deliver the same vitamin and mineral value as:

• The Vitamin A of 2 1/2 apricots
• The Niacin of 5 carrots
• The Vitamin C of 1/2 lemon
• The Thiamin of 1/2 cup peanuts
• The Vitamin D of 4 cups Vit D milk
• The Riboflavin of 2 tablespoons wheat germ
• The Vitamin B12 of 60 oz. of chicken
• The biotin of  4 1/2 avocados
• The Vitamin B6 of 1 cup brussels sprounts
• Selenium of 2 1/3 cups papaya
• The Vanadium of 4 small pears
• The folic acid of 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach
• The Boron of 1 1/2 bananas
• The Zinc of 1/3 cups almonds
• The Chromium of 5 3/4 cups grape juice
• The Iodine of 1 1/2 oz. cheddar cheese
• The Molybdenum of 1 1/3 cups cottage cheese
• And assorted phytonutrients from cranberry, broccoli, grape pomace and rutin.

Take just a moment and imagine what your life  would be like today, what you child’s life would be like, if that list went into their body “every day”. Childrens nutrition of the future is here and you owe it to yourself and to your child to learn more now about this exceptional new product, exclusively from Mannatech, Inc.

Mom and I September 08

Its Thanksgiving time again and it’s a little over a year since Mom got her diagnosis.  She’s went through cancer treatment and now recovery and the whole family has gone with her on this wild ride.

Her birthday is November 11 and last November 11 we had just gotten her diagnosis, aggressive melanoma tumor located in her right nasal sinus.  That meant a nasty tumor under her eye which had already invaded the eye.  We talked with 4 doctors and the last one, Dr. Urken of Beth Israel Hospital, said he could operate and remove the tumor.  We were waiting to hear when the surgery would be.

It was a pretty tense 84th birthday party.  There was my mom & dad, Gloria and Carl, Mom’s sisters, Irene and Connie, Uncle Greorge, my cousin, Rose and my brother, Tony.  I made this toast.

I said, “Let’s all imagine its Mom’s 85th birthday, not her 84th.  And we are jubilant because the whole thing is over.  Mom is healthy and happy and well and the cancer is gone and we are celebrating!”

We all toasted to that and the atmosphere was lighter.

That day happened.  On November 11 this year, we actually had that party.  All the same people were there and we had a few more.  We were jubilant.  We gave many speeches about Mom, how much we appreciated her and how happy wer were to have her with us so healthy and happy.

She lost her eye and wears a dark lense on that said.  The skin has healed over it.  She’s not looking into additional surgeries to make it look like she has an eye.

She’s got a fancy prosthesis replacing part of her mouth that was removed to get at the tumor.  We went back to the doctor last week because he is making her a new one.  Apparently there is one that can stand up to the radiation treatment and then another one she gets after she’s survived radiation and healed.

Her last radiation treatment was back in May.  Dr. Okay looked at her mouth and was very pleased.  He explained that her mouth and gums looked great.  The skin was very pink and healthy.

After radiation, the mouth had gotten very friable, brittle and scorched really.  It was difficult for Mom to eat or drink and we almost lost her at that time.  It’s almost miraculous how everything has repaired so beautifully.

It’s also a bit miraculous how healthy she is, because Mom is a lot healthier now than when she went into surgery.  She was on lots of medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol.  She was about 80 lbs overweight.

As part of her care, I got her on very high quality vitamins and minerals from USANA Health Sciences.  I market these products because they turned my health around and now I make them available to other people like me.

Mom would never take them before the cancer and she’d gotten to a place where she could hardly walk very far.  She used to be a marathon shopper, and wore us all out.  Now she had to sit while we shopped.

That’s all turned around now.  She lost about 70 lbs and she did it healthy, not by wasting away as so often happens with cancer.  She never lost muscle.

She’s off all her medications and her blood pressure is great.

I believe the USANA nutritionals played a big part in making Mom’s outcome so miraculous.  So many things happened along the way that had her doctors shaking their heads in amazement.  Her recoveries were so quick and complication free.  I guess Mom feels USANA is helping because she is continuing to take her supplements even though I’m not there to serve them up to her.

During that year of Mom’s trials, my brother, Michael, also got cancer.  He was diagnosed in May with aggressive lymphoma and he died September 19, 2009.  My Mom had to go through that trauma, too. He wouldn’t listen to me about taking any USANA vitamins ever, either years ago or through his treatment.  He actually died cancer free, but couldn’t survive the opportunistic infections.

I don’t know whether USANA would have made a difference or not.  To say we are saddened by his death is an understatement.  I can say we are full of gratitude and joy that our family experienced only one funeral this year and not two.

We are counting our blessings and they are too numerous to count!

Vitamins are also known as organic compound which is used as a nutrient in smaller amounts in many organisms. The word vitmain obtained from the combination of two words like ‘vital’ and ‘mineral’ . In the same way a compound is also called as vitamin when the synthesiezing process is done insufficiently in organisms. In certain cases vitamins are obtained from regular diets. Vitamins depend on both circumstances and especially on specific organism like ascorbic acid acting as vitamin C in many animals.

Several other vitamins suchas vitamin d and k shows their prescence in human diet regularly. Consumers should know that word vitamin doesn’t mean everything required by a body, as it contains few of them such as dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids . Consumers should keep information that vitamins are used on the basis of their biological and chemical activities, and not based on the structure. Several vitamins get inter-converted in the body depending on the type of cases.

Vitamins play an important role in the functioning of human body due to its diverse nature of biochemical functions such as hormones, antioxidants, mediators in cell signalling, helping in regulating the cells of the body, and tissue growth and differentiation . Several vitamins functions as precursors for many enzymes cofactor bio-molicules acting as catalysts and substrates in the metabolism processes of the body. When act as catalyst vitamins are strained like enzymes called as prosthetic groups. Vitamins also called as co-enzymes for transporting chemical groups in various enzymes.

Vitamins

Dr. Elina Chernyak in Vail, Colorado recently released an article explaining that rather than our heath depending on our genes, our health depends on what we do to our genes. Genetotrophic disease is the result of an imperfect expression of certain genes created by insufficient amounts of particular nutrients.

Although we may seem pretty similar to each other, each human body differs greatly on a biochemical level.  Our diversified genetic potentials are a result of the impact of nutrients on the expression of our genetic characteristics.  “Exposure to various nutritional and environmental factors alters the expression of our genes, producing what we call the phenotype, or the observable characteristics of an individual.”

Everything we eat, micronutrients, proteins, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals all have an impact on our genes. For example, lipoic acid, N-acetyl-cysteine, vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 are known to have an impact on the modulation of gene expression. We can improve a person’s immune system “by designing an appropriate diet for an individual based on his or her genetic needs, and by reducing antigens to which the person is sensitive (such as gluten in wheat or casein in dairy products).”

Physicians of functional medicine can use certain biological markers to evaluate a dysfunctional metabolism, “providing insight into where gene expression is increasing the risk or likelihood of various diseases, including heart disease, arthritis, and cancer.” “In the true spirit of preventative medicine, we can modify nutritional and environmental exposures today in order to help avoid potentially bigger and harder to solve problems in the future.”

Medical research such as this is taking us another step forward in bridging the gap between traditional and holistic medicine with additional elements such as nutritional supplements.

Holiday leftovers don’t last long in our homes. Especially the Very Tasty Turkey Salad. (Chicken works well, too.) The trick is starting with a well-seasoned turkey. Stacey’s husband is from the island of Puerto Rico and taught us to make “pavochon,” a turkey seasoned Puerto Rican style that consists of ground garlic cloves, Sazón spices, salt, and extra virgin olive oil. Grind those ingredients with a mortar and pestle, cut slits in the bird and rub the seasoning under the skin, atop the skin and inside the cuts. Let that sit for a day or two before slow roasting the bird in a self-basting turkey oven bag. The key here is LOW and SLOW.

Take leftover pieces of the bird and rip them apart or chop. To taste, add a bit at a time of the following: Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, chopped scallions, a sliced hard-cooked egg or two, diced tomatoes, pepper and salt. There are no rules with Turkey Salad; get creative!

What are you doing with your leftovers? Please share your ideas with other readers!

Parents are often really confused about this issue…when you have a sick child, when are they “sick enough” to take them to the hospital ER or when can it wait?  When your child is sick with the flu, deciding when to head to the emergency room can be very difficult decision.

The novel H1N1 “likes” young children and it can be dangerous and swift, striking hard with little warning.

The CDC estimated earlier this month that more children have died from the H1N1 flu than people over 65, about 540 children as of mid-October compared to 440 seniors. The CDC also recently reported that flu deaths in young children were continuing to rise. An estimated 2,900 adults between 18 and 64 have died. Most years, 90% of people who die of the flu are 65 or older, officials said.

Thankfully the life-threatening cases remain unusual.  As parents grow more concerned, doctors also are seeing an increase in what is called the “worried well,” who seek emergency care for relatively healthy children.  The harder question is this…when should you take your child to the emergency room? When is it really serious? Doctors say parents and guardians should assess how sick a child is in part based on experience.

The warning signs to look out for include:

• Significant difficulty breathing
• Inability to drink fluids or urinate for more than six hours
• Change in the color of the mouth or lips
• Unusual behavioral changes, such as a crying child who cannot be consoled, or a child who doesn’t wake up or walk or talk normally.
• If any of those symptoms show up in children, parents should take them to the emergency room, as respiratory infections are often things that are the most life-threatening in children.

Lung inflammation is particularly dangerous to infants and young children because their airways are smaller. According to the California Department of Public Health, the flu virus replicates in the airways and lungs, causing them to swell. The inflammation makes it difficult for the lungs to work, reducing the body’s ability to take oxygen into the bloodstream.

In California, the most common H1N1 deaths have been viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, state health officials wrote in a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. Experts are telling clinicians to treat the H1N1 strain differently than the seasonal flu.

In a Journal of the American Medical Assn. (JAMA) editorial published earlier this month, former CDC director Julie Louise Gerberding wrote that patients who have a five- or six-day history of flu-like illness and whose ability to breathe is worsening “appear to be at risk for rapid deterioration” and should be treated with antiviral drugs and admitted to the hospital.

“Clinicians should not be falsely reassured by previous good health, young age and absence of major comorbidities because these characteristics do not exclude the potential for respiratory failure and death,” Gerberding wrote. The CDC has also warned that some physicians are not prescribing antiviral drugs to H1N1 patients, pointing to studies that show that about 25% of hospitalized patients with lab-confirmed H1N1 did not receive Tamiflu or similar drugs.

Even among those who did get antiviral drugs, medication was often delayed for one or two days after they were admitted to a hospital, the CDC said. California health officials have also said that antiviral medication can reduce mortality even when given late, which is defined as more than 48 hours after symptoms begin.  Although most people who are hospitalized or have died from H1N1 have underlying medical conditions, a significant proportion of H1N1 victims are otherwise healthy.

“What’s surprising about this flu is . . . we’re seeing patients between the ages of 10 and 47 with no underlying medical problems that are getting into trouble. And that’s scary for us, because it’s hard to know who is going to get in trouble,” said Dr. Gail Carruthers, director of the pediatric emergency department at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and Miller Children’s Hospital.

Sometimes, patients will report flu-like symptoms for as little as three hours or as long as two weeks, then quickly become significantly worse. Their lungs begin to fail and fill up with fluid, requiring intensive care. Carruthers recalled two recent patients, a teenager and a middle-aged person, whose lungs began failing even though they had no underlying medical conditions. “It’s almost like watching them drown,” Carruthers said. “They feel like they can’t get any air.” But, Carruthers added, “if you don’t feel short of breath, and you have a dry cough, you’re probably fine staying at home.”

Good morning!

As I’ve mentioned before, my morning routine usually consists of cereal and fruit.  Ho hum. 

BUT, a big part of my morning routine is also vitamins, so I thought I’d share my daily intake with you here. 

Here they are, lined up nice and pretty:

Looking good, ladies!

Every morning, I take a scoop of Amazing Grass Superfood (berry blend).  This is a powdered blend of wheatgrass, spiulina, antioxidants (acai, goji, etc.), flax seed, active cultures and probiotic, and ALLLLLL sorts of other good stuff.  To that, I add half a tsp. of Pure Hawaiian Spirulina, about 8 oz. of orange juice, and just a splash of cranberry juice. 

I know this sounds like a lot, and to be honest, it doesn’t taste great.  BUT, it really seems to be the ultimate energy cocktail.  It seriously makes me feel like a million bucks, and I can tell a BIG difference when I don’t take it.

As for pills/vitamins, for my multi-vitamin, I take two supplements from a vitamin company called Usana.  One is an antioxidant / vitamin D blend; the other is a chelated mineral blend. I was turned on to this vitamin company a few years ago.  My mom, sister and I went to a metabolism workshop in Austin, Texas, and the woman giving the workshop (an R.D.) spent a lot of time talking about vitamins.  She basically said that your everyday brands, like Centrum and One-A-Day (which we were all taking, at the time) were kind of pointless.  She said that they wouldn’t do any harm to your body at all, but that in terms of delivering vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to your body, they wouldn’t do much.  She recommended the Usana brand, so that’s what I’ve been taking for the past few years.  You can check out their website here.

I also take CoQ10, which is supposed to help with basic cell functioning.  You can read more about it here.

In addition to that, I take a calcium supplement, a fishoil capsule for Omega-3’s, and an herbal blend that is supposed to promote hair and nail strength (and probably does nothing ).  Finally, especially in the winter, I usually add an Emergen-C packet to my water at some point in the day.

Whew!  Suddenly this seems like a LOT! 

What do you take in terms of vitamins/supplements?

Everybody, and I do mean everybody, knows the name of Donald Trump. He’s done a lot of amazing things in real estate, and is well-known for his public recovery when he was near bankruptcy. His television program,The Apprentice, keeps him in the public eye – and has made “You’re Fired” a national catchphrase.

And now he’s come out with The Trump Network… a multilevel marketing opportunity for you to market health and wellness products for the usual commissions and downline.

The question on my mind, when I first saw this, was whether Donald has finally just plain lost it. Is this some sort of joke? “The Trump Network MLM Business” just sounds… wrong.

I mean, really, MLM? Donald Trump, the very embodiment of big business, lending his name to a system like this? The entire MLM business is built around a grassroots effort, a small business opportunity, not something you’d expect Donald Trump to get behind.

You can do big business with MLM, of course. I’m one of the first people to admit that – with thousands of people in my own multilevel downlines, and a multi-million dollar company built on them, I can see exactly why the Trump Network exists.

You can find the occasional Trump Network review as you look around the web, but all of it seems to be the same sort of thing I already said; people are just incredulous that Donald Trump’s Trump Network exists at all. Trump Network distributors are out there already, of course, promoting and pushing the Trump Network business opportunity.

Never Trust A Dog That Doesn’t Bark

I don’t know about you, but I get a little fidgety when new companies pop up – even from a group as savvy and smart as the Trump Network team – and nobody’s really examining what they have and what they offer. That’s the way a “Trump Network scam” would operate; promoting the style and the brand, then skating off with the money while Donald himself just held up his hands and said he had no direct involvement.

They have a nice slick website at www.TheTrumpNetwork.com, of course. I’d expect nothing less from “the Donald,” and neither should you.

But what I found when I started really paying attention was truly different. The Trump Network business opportunity actually does have something revolutionary in it, which changed my entire view of the Trump Network.

The Real Trump Network Business Opportunity

What the Trump Network MLM business has that I have never seen before, anywhere, is a home testing kit that tells you EXACTLY what vitamins you really need. It’s not a matter of guesswork anymore.

There are all kinds of ways we use to determine what vitamins and minerals our body needs, from cravings for specific food (”I want spinach; I must be deficient in iron”), to environmental factors (”I feel tired; I must need magnesium and zinc”), to just plain folk wisdom (”I’m over forty; I must need more calcium”). But these ways are error-prone, and they just plain never work all that well.

So Donald Trump’s Trump Network has taken that out of the equation. Instead of trying to figure out what your body needs by learning some arcane system of symptoms and diagnosis – normally, people have to attend medical school to learn that very well – you can rely on state of the art medical technology to tell you exactly what you really need.

And that’s the unique selling proposition here. It’s what makes the Trump Network business opportunity a serious opportunity, and not just another case of some overhyped one-size-fits-all vitamin pill that turns out to be no better than the multivitamins you get off the grocery store shelf.

It’s Not Just About The Product

This is where a lot of people get caught up, and give all their attention to the question of how much money they can make and how they’re going to get people to buy the product. Skipping over all the serious business aspects of the Trump Network, distributors occupy all their time and energy with the question of getting customers to buy.

But as someone who has made millions in this industry, I have to tell you that the product is only the beginning. It’s always best to have a great product – and the Trump Network has certainly come up with a fantastic one – but you’re only just beginning to tap into the Trump Network business opportunity if you concentrate on the product. There is another, more important aspect that deserves your focus and attention.

I’m speaking, of course, about YOUR business and YOUR branding. The dirty little secret of the Trump Network MLM business, and indeed of any MLM business, is that thousands of people are out there selling the exact same products you are. They’ve all got the same power and trust that Donald Trump’s Trump Network gives you, for the same reason you have it: they’re on the Trump Network team.

So if you want to be truly successful on that team… if you want the recognition, the accolades, and the awards when the Trump Network reviews your results… you have to distinguish yourself from that team, just like you would distinguish yourself with any other business.

You need to put forth the same marketing and self-promotion effort you would if you were starting your own brand-new business, without the benefit of the Trump Network team behind you, or Donald Trump’s Trump Network brand. It is precisely because you get that without building it that you need to push hard on your own branding efforts, so your customers don’t want to buy from other Trump Network distributors – they want to buy from you.

If you don’t have a game plan for marketing & self-promotion that you are 100% confident in, use the strategy I lay out in my 8 Day Bootcamp. I’m flat-out giving it to you. CLICK HERE to get it.

There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

A lot of people will not achieve success with the Trump Network. Complaints will inevitably be made, because people frequently forget that no matter how easy it is to start an MLM business, it is still a business – and it needs all the same things that any other business needs.

The Trump Network business opportunity is a great opportunity. It’s different, it’s new, it’s state of the art and poised to take the world by storm. A lot of people will want to buy these products, and distributors can make a shocking amount of money, particularly in the early days. But just like any small business, novelty isn’t a long-term growth opportunity. Your Trump Network MLM business needs to be treated like a business.

It needs to be marketed. It needs to be advertised. It needs to grow, constantly, to maintain the momentum that leads customers to buy from you – and nobody else – over and over again.

There is a saying in small business: “If it’s not growing, it’s dying.” Too many small business owners learn that the hard way. Don’t be one of them.

Conclusions: Donald Trump’s Trump Network Looks Strong

There’s nothing better in a partnership – and the Trump Network business opportunity is a partnership, make no mistake about that – than a well-known partner with an established reputation. Donald Trump and the Trump Network certainly qualify on that front.

The danger is only that you’ll rely exclusively on the strength of your partner, without bringing your own strength to the table. By marketing and promoting your own brand, your own unique and personal vision, you build your business.

And when you build your business, you become a well-known partner with an established reputation yourself. Even if your reputation doesn’t rival Donald Trump’s, Trump Network distributors are still better for the Trump Network when they’ve brought their own value to the table.

The raw fact is that in any MLM business, even the Trump Network MLM business, there are only so many Trump Network team members available to provide the kind of personal attention and assistance that can drive a company to the top of the heap.

Those team members will put their time and effort into the companies and partners who have already distinguished themselves; it is there, and only there, that a massive multinational business like the Trump Network can get enough value to make the time and effort worthwhile.

So the best strategy you can have, when examining an opportunity like the Trump Network business opportunity, is to consider not only how you can sell your partner’s products… but what value you’re going to bring to the table yourself. How can you be one of the top Trump Network distributors RIGHT NOW, even before the products are available to ship?

That’s the crucial question. It’s all about your business, and your brand, and how well you market yourself – before you even have a product to ship. In the next couple of months, there will be a mad scramble to join Donald Trump’s Trump Network, and only a few people in that race will be in the lead. You can be one of them… if you put in the work, and make yourself a strong partner worthy of the Trump Network team’s attention.

It is fair to say that some people will already be familiar with this supplement, whereas other people will have never even heard of it. In order to retain an optimum fitness level as you get older, you need something to help ease stiff joints, and that product is glucosamine sulphate. Its primary uses involve stimulating the cells that create the bone and cartilage in your body. If you suffer with any kind of stiff joints, then you’ll be immensely glad of glucosamine sulphate.

Humans take the tablet form but animals can get the glucosamine sulphate powder version. In addition to this, there are glucosamine creams on the market which help to lubricate joints. Most people know glucosamine sulphate in its tablet form, which is the common way to take this natural supplement.

Doctors Recommend It

Healthy joints make you feel more active and stiff or aching joints are often the only things preventing people from leading a full and active lifestyle. Old people don’t want to be left on the sofa because their joints are too stiff to move. Speak to the doctor and see what their recommendation is – it is likely to be a course of glucosamine sulphate tablets. Glucosamine sulphate has provided a lifeline to so many people and it could to you too.

Even if you have Crohn’s disease or arthritis, you could find that glucosamine sulphate goes a long way to helping ease the pain you feel on a daily basis. The many uses of glucosamine sulphate make it an ideal choice for people of all ages and all body types. The doctor may say to you that you can take glucosamine sulphate for many years, or they may restrict the number of supplements you take, but it is always best to get their advice first. In the case of the glucosamine cream that’s available, you should be able to apply this as frequently as you feel fit.

In conclusion, if you are a stiff joints sufferer and need a bit of TLC, try some glucosamine sulphate supplements as it is sure to make a difference.

The Government Got It Right

November 24th, 2009

A change in the sensitivity of your breasts, other than pain, might be a symptom of menopause, but it also might be something more severe. It could be mastic breast tissue, cysts, breast disease, or even neuropathy related to multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia. It can also be a warning sign of breast cancer.

The new government recommendations on breast cancer screening were surprising to many doctors, but I happen to agree with them. The government is currently recommending against regular mammography tests for women aged 40 to 49. The guidelines also downplay the effectiveness of self-examinations and advise that women aged 50 to 74 years receive mammograms every other year.The change in early detection direction came from a U.S. Preventive Services Task Force comprised of a government panel of doctors and scientists. They concluded that early and frequent screenings by mammography often lead to false alarms and unneeded biopsies without substantially improving a woman’s odds of survival.

I agree with these new guidelines. First, I have not been a fan of mammograms for some time. I find that mammograms are not nearly as effective in detection as some other tests, like MRI’s and ultrasounds. I also have found that even when I teach my patients how to complete a manual breast exam, they are less than effective.

I support the new guidelines because I think it will lead to better testing. The ultrasound is a better screening procedure that’s safer and easier and picks up things fast. I believe that women should receive ultrasounds every year as part of their routine medical exam, beginning at an early age. If needed, MRI or PET scans can detect lumps and bumps better than any mammogram ever could.

I have just realized that I have a ridiculous vitamin hoarding problem!  Seriously, there must be dozens upon dozens of bottles of vitamins in my cupboards.  His and hers multivitamins, co-enzyme Q-10, vitamin D, calcium + D, zinc, echinacea, some kind of thyroid formula, greens + fibre, iron, ginko, ester C, Greens+ extra energy tablets, MSM, B12, some other kind of calcium…and that’s just the stuff in pill format.  Don’t get me started on the powders and liquids.

Way, way too many vitamins.  I think if I actually took them all, I would make myself sick; but here’s where my absentmindedness is actually good for my health.  I buy vitamins impulsively after reading this or that about them in some kind of health news, take them for maybe 3 days, and then completely fall off the wagon.  So for all of the vitamins in the cupboard, I end up just randomly taking one every once in a while when I remember they’re there.  Yesterday, for example, I ate leftover birthday cake for breakfast, which prompted me to wash it down with a multivitamin.  Because they totally cancel each other out…right?

Anyway, my absentminded vitamin hoarding problem is probably a huge waste of money because I bet that many of them will expire before I get around to them.  And maybe I’m missing out on some possible health benefits from taking some of them religiously…after all, that’s why I bought them in the first place.  E.g., as a Canadian, and a depressed one at that, I should definitely be taking vitamin D more regularly.  But the prospect of figuring exactly which ones I should be taking and when and with what and without what and how much and for how long…well…shit, I have no idea.  So I’ll just keep taking a random one out of the collection when I remember, and try not to bring any more home.  I like to think of vitamins as a stop-gap anyway…I should really be getting my vitamins from my diet in the first place!

I read ’somewhere’ that Collard Greens are really, really good for you, a cancer fighting green rich in antioxidants and vitamins and tons of fiber.  One cup of cooked collards offers your full daily Vitamin A, half your C and over 800 percent of your vitamin K.

A few weeks ago I posted this short entry (below) on Collard Greens asking for good recipes.  I got no responses.  And I’m thinking it’s because most of the people who read my blog are mostly white folk.  It turns out most white folk think Collard Greens are a nasty weed and we don’t know what to do with it.

Last night, at the first White House State Dinner , among other delicious things Collard Greens were on the menu and that got me looking and reading again.

And I want to cook them.  Help me out?

It turns out their pedigree dates back 2,000 years.  (And though they can’t spell Mediterranean …)

They originated, like kale, their kin, in Turkey, migrating, along with folks who grew it, to Greece and Rome. Julius Caesar allegedly treated collard greens as medicine, eating them after banquets to insure good nutrition and digestion.

Collards became a hit all over Europe and were introduced to America in the 17th century. They grew prolifically, especially in the South. While plantation owners considered collards weeds, slaves used the free and plentiful greens to make the humblest of meals sustaining and nourishing.  Despite their Mediterranian roots, they’re sturdily American.

Most of us know collards, if we know them at all, from the way slaves prepared them – as a mess o’ greens, slow-braised with pig parts. Collards are also a component of hopping john, a filling stew combining collards, black-eyed peas, which the slaves brought over from Africa . . . and more pig parts.

Now is the time collards flourish, and not just in the White House garden.  (Source:  www.meatlessmonday.com)

So I ask again, does anyone have good recipe for Collard Greens? Someone who has actually cooked them. Or will I have to go digging?

Does anyone have a good recipe for Collard Greens?

Mine was bitter. Is this from the way I cooked it or something else I might have done?

They look so yummy but even with garlic and butter/olive oil they were super bitter.

C’ mon people. Let me know!!

(Sketch by Li Yu)

I am sick for the second time in two weeks.. It’s not H1N1 anyway, but just to be sure, I’ve decided to undergo a 7-day self-quarantine.. It’s hard to miss a week of work but rather than spreading the virus, I’d rather play safe for everyone else’s security..

I’m sure it’s just a regular flu as I’ve been precautious not to get into close contact with people since the H1N1 outbreak few months back, but again, for everyone’s safety and peace of mind, I am willing to sacrifice my week-worth of salary..

What’s funny about the H1N1 hype is that it made me realize that the media as the “extended” state of the government still do the thing that they’re best known for – to sensationalize the news and create a public panic.. I should know because of my media background..

On the other hand though, as the news have been played like a horror movie sound effects scaring people to stupidity, my personal awareness skips up a level from being less-caring to being rationally thinking..

Admitedly, few years back, I’m a big “for-all-I-care” guy who ignores health news and bulletins coz I find them like another police report or a celebrity gossip that the reporters are trying to sell like fruitcake, but after the Swine Flu ga-ga, I can never be sure these days.. H1N1 has claimed lives after lives and the virus is in its strong killing form and is believed to be mutating.. Although, literally, the news made it really worse than the actual scenario, I’d say it helped though to make people more cautious and vigilant about caring themselves and for the others..

Few days ago, while on a weekened sojourn, I came across an article that has a thing to say about The Swine Flu to this effect, “H1N1 is just like an ordinary flu that we can get away with it.. People just need not to panic but instead push themselves to learn a thing or two on how to avoid it..” (I am sorry but I forgot the name of the broadsheet and the author)..

Yes, H1N1 is not here to stay for long and won’t take lives piece after piece until the last warm body breathing becomes numb.. Trust me, we just have to be really equipped with the basic knowledge to fight its spread.. Well, atleast, even if we can’t fight its much alarming spread over the television, radio and prints, then we can start within ourselves and our homes..

So, in sharing, I would like to give a list of helpful information I’ve read on how we could avoid H1N1 or any other regular flu:

KNOW THE PORTALS. A health professional stressed that knowing the point of entries for virus is essential.. Since the transfer is commonly airborne, people should know how can and when can virus gets into someone’s immune system.. The portals include the mouth, the nose and open wounds.. In similar cases, these are the prone areas for viral transfer because they are literally “open” and are directly connected to major internal organs, which blood flows and circulates..

Be sure to practice regular brushing, flossing and gargling.. And as much as possible, avoid too much talking in public places.. A good homemade gargle is the salt solution as its effect is the same as commercially formulated gargles..

Clean your nose with a lukewarm-dipped cloth, handkerchief, or a cotton buds.. When in public, sneeze on your sleeves and cover your nose during cold weather.. You can also use nasal sprays or decongestant if you feel the first sign of having colds and flu..

Open wounds should be cleaned and sanitized using antiseptic solutions and regular washing, and cover the wounds using gauze pads medical/elastic bands.

THE HANDS’ MAGIC. Although literally hands can perform tricky (or sometimes fake) magics, the hands’ magic comes from its touch.. I am not talking naughty hear people so spare your dirty minds for later posts.. In order to avoid lossing its magical powers though (Figuratively speaking), be sure to wash your hands regularly with soap and water.. This is in fact the best defense against any flu..

On a personal note, I’ve discovered that it won’t hurt to let someone push the train or the bus botton open.. Few months ago, I would always be the first commuter to run into the train/bus door to hiss it open as if there was a prize of being the first guy to hop out.. Recently, I would wait until someone do it for the rest.. I’ve figured out that it’s the best way to avoid catching infections especially that the bus/train is a communal resource.. I’ve also done the same in publicly accessed doors on mall elevators and escalators.. It is helpful that there are hand sanitizing machines mounted in many public shared facilities, but there’s no safer way to clean your hands than soap and water for 20-30 seconds on a regular basis..

Another physician (which, again I forgot the name) told a news crew that as much as we can avoid, we are not allowed to touch our faces and others’ faces if our hands are not clean.. That the only time for us to do so is during shower and bathing times.. I guess, the statement is very self-explanatory..

BALANCE DIET AND PROPER EXERCISE.. As always, diet and exercise play vital roles in developing someone’s immune system.. The basic role of eating is defined according to the food pyramid and your Body Mass Index, but it would not hurt to consult a dietician or food experts depending on your lifestyle.. The Internet allows you to google further literature on finding your right food to eat.. Atleast, don’t miss to eat a serving of fruits and vegetables plus fibers, of course..

Exercise doesn’t mean that you need to hit the gym.. The traditional walking, cycling or jogging is still encouraged.. Engaged in individual or team sports to encourage every one in your family to get fit.. Play basketball, freesbie or tennis and save money for the gym membership and fees.. There is no more rewarding than to spend time with the family after a long day work.. Again, I encourage you to google related articles on exercises if you want to have a professional fitness training..

HAVE A SWINE FLU SURVIVAL KIT. In the December 2009 issue of Men’s Health Canada, the President of the American Academy of Family Physicians, Ted Epperly, M.D., enthused that make sure that you have the essentials in your medicine cabinet.. These include, fever and pain reducer capsules or tablets, cold medicine, electrolyte drinks and hand sanitizers containing 60% ethyl alcohol with a moisturizer such as aloe.. Epperly added that a surgical mask is also a wise precaution but not all masks protect against H1N1.. The N95 respiratory masks, which studies show are 75% effective is recommended..

The health expert recommended to strap on a mask if you’re in public or around infected people; toss it after one use and wash your hands immediately..

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.. Like any other health tips, consulting your doctor is one of the best on the list.. I grew up being sickly so my folks would always take me to the physician, and like any other kid, I was afraid of injection.. It took me painful weeks before I had my first injection and it took me months of braving the pain before having my first tooth extraction.. It was only when I met a car accident and damaged my neprons that I bravely asked my folks to rush me into the hospital, and true to my instinct, I did urinate blood and have been confined for three weeks giving enough time for the doctors to decide whether I’ll go through a major surgery or not.. Good thing I didn’t have to..

So, when I decided to leave my small town and live in the capital city, plane ride away from home, I had a high fever that was so timing with the Dengue Fever epidemic in the Philippines.. Being alarmed and a little bit insane, I’ve decided to run to three different hospitals for my blood chemistry on a single day.. After three CBC tests confirmed that I am negative of Dengue Fever, I still told the doctor at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital that I want to be confined even for overnight just to be safe.. The doctor told me, “Leonel, I’ve been your doctor since 2005 and I know if you’re ill and you’re paranoid.. In this case, you’re insane, go home and get a bed rest.”

The reason why I shared this story is to let my younger readers, yes, those that are in their “kidulthood” not to be afraid of doctors and know that we don’t call them “Doctors” for nothing.. Although, they do not guarantee 100% recovery in many cases, at least, we get help from professionals with specific specializations..

Ask the doctors the right questions and give them the right information, and there you can get immediate help that you could not get from your mom’s bowl of chicken noodle soup..

DRINK.. Now don’t be silly.. I am not talking about going out to party and get boozed up or cranked.. I’m talking about drinking essential fluids to flush out the toxins from our immune system..

While water remains to be the most recommended fluid we consume on a daily basis, a cup of decaf tea and coffe would do no harm.. Hot beverages like tea an coffee are known for their antioxidants, which helps boost the immune system and invigorates the body..

Juices that are high in Vitamin C should aso be part of the morning meal or in every meal.. Remember that in the colder months, we get lesser amount of sunlight, so look for beverages that are loaded with Vitamin D too..

VITAMINERALS.. Ask your doctor what is the best vitamin for your type of body, activities and lifestyle, although naturally, we get vitamins and minerals from our food intake, there are commercially and clinically proven vitamins and immuno-boosters that could help optimize our energy and keep us fit and healthy..

During the Flu season, Vitamin C is a must..

H1N1 VACCINATION/FLU SHOT.. Reader’s Digest Magazine Canada Editor-In-Chief, Robert Goyette said, “More than 50 million doses of the newly developed H1N1 vaccine have been ordered…there is a concern that H1N1 could potentially mutate into something severe.”

Goyette added that he ignored past calls for vaccination thinking it was only for the old and the sick but this year, he will be the one to get in line to get a flu shot.”

Okay, you might be wondering why I listed “vaccination” last.. Personally, I have several issues on the H1N1 Flu shot.. I would go for the regular flu vaccine but not for the H1N1.. Why? Because honestly, the vaccine have not been 100% test-proven and there have been much buzz and news about its side effects.. Plus, it contains Mercury, Formaldehyde and Octoxynol which we all know are poisonous substances.. Click here for the rest of the story..

And there have been much vaccine doses recalls for the past two months, so I personally take this whole vaccination thing as a “testing”, only the developers are using human as specimen instead of mice or other laboratory specimen.. I don’t know.. Don’t get me wrong.. Who can tell, but for those of high risk for H1N1 such as pregnant women; children 6 months though 4 years old; parents, siblings and caregivers of children less than 6 months old; children and adolescents 5 through 18 years old who have underlying medical conditions; and health care workers, I’ve included the flu shot in my list..

JUST SO YOU KNOW
In April 2009 a novel flu strain evolved that combined genes from human, pig, and bird flu, initially dubbed “swine flu” and also known as influenza A/H1N1, emerged in Mexico, the United States, and several other nations. The World Health Organization officially declared the outbreak to be a “pandemic” on June 11, 2009 (see 2009 flu pandemic). Source: Wikipedia.com

Codex Alimentarius – What Is It About?

Codex alimentarius will be rolled out fully on January 1st 2010 but most people are blissfully unaware of what it really entails. The Codex issue can’t be accurately seen in isolation. It must be seen in a broader context, then all of this madness makes sense. You can’t fight evil unless you can first SEE what it is that you’re trying to oppose. These megalomaniacal elites and their heavily funded scientists are actually on record with plans to reduce the worlds population by 90%. In case you were wondering that means YOU.

It is necessary that the USA cut its population by two-thirds within the next 50 years.

Howard Odum – Marine biologist, University of Florida
(Member of the Club of Rome)

More and more people around the world are becoming aware of the Codex Alimentarius proceedings affecting their rights for self determination to have access to vitamins, minerals and other natural substances in order to maintain and preserve our health. Why do you and other government bureaucrats who are supposed to defend and protect the rights of those you serve want to deprive us of the basic means to help ourselves to stay well and healthy?

They honestly think they are protecting our health, this is the really insidious part of the whole situation. They have been so deeply inculcated with the mainstream medical propaganda that taking more than the RDA of any given nutrient merely enriches the urine, that they actually believe they are protecting all of us from out and out fraud. Moreover, the penalty to them for failing to believe this is to incur the undying wrath of their superiors.

The Globalists who are pulling the strings on our elected officials like so many marionettes want total control of the whole world, and they’re rapidly bringing about a complete end to the sovereignty of all nations. They are rapidly trying to force us into a dictatorial world government, and they fully intend to kill off large numbers of us via premeditated genocide. Beyond that, they fully intend to inject us all with an injectable microchip so that they can control our thoughts and actions because what they want is a psychocivilized society of mind controlled slaves.

Their plans have been totally exposed in the books of Cathy O’Brien and  Brice Taylor, both of whom escaped the CIA’s MK Ultra Mind Control program. The veracity of their claims can be verified by the mountain of documents and hundreds of testimonies. They both went through a form of hell that the average person can’t even remotely conceive of. This is a very real battle going on between forces of good and forces of evil. God, and Satan are dueling it out and our planet is the battleground. The FDA and medical industrial complex are satan’s minions. Human life means nothing to these people, they worship the Golden Calf. Total enslavement of of the remaining population of the world is their end goal.

International Advocates for Health Freedom is a true grass roots, decentralized movement of vitamin consumers world wide opposed to the pharmaceutically rigged Codex Shell Game, to the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, and to all statist elements of coercion, Wherever they may  be found, anywhere in the world. As free people, we are sovereign over our own BODIES, With a God given unalienable right to ingest any substance of our choosing, (especially vitamins and minerals) into OUR bodies as we see fit.

Hair is just like any other part of our body: it needs the right vitamins to be healthy. In order for you hair to grow, get a healthy shine and be strong you will have to eat a balanced diet that contains the right nutrients or take supplements.

Vitamine E is a vitamin that will give your hair a healthy shine. It increases scalp circulation. Vitamin E can be found in vegetable oils, raw seeds and nuts and leafy green vegetables. A chemical called inositol is also great for getting shiny hair. It will make the hair´s cell membranes stronger which helps with moisturizing it. Foods that contain inositol include grains, citrus fruits and liver.

People who suffer from hair loss should try products containing DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blocking substances. DHT is a the hormone that causes many cases of hair loss. DHT blockers include Gamma Lenolenic Acid and Alpha Lenolic Acid. The plant saw palmetto is said to contain DHT blocking properties.

Biotin is another vitamin that is often used to treat hair loss and even graying. Foods such as brewer´s yeast, egg yolks and milk contain it. Vitamin B5 aka pantothenic acid may also prevent hair loss and graying and can be found in the same foods.

While getting these vitamins from real food is ideal, taking supplements is a valid alternative. All vitamins that are good for hair can be found in supplement form. Just look online and you should find plenty of them. There are also special hair loss products available that contain all of the vitamins combined.

For more information on vitamins that promote hair growth and natural remedies for growing hair visit HairLossTipsandAdvice.com.

When I first arrived here in France I thought that the measures that were being put in place, regarding Grippe A, were pretty radical – and not necessarily in a bad way, either. Reading the BBC news and seeing one more person added to the Swine Flu death toll most days made me wonder if England was being as pre-cautious.

Today, at approximately 6pm I got a phone call from the directrice of one of my schools informing me that the school will be closed as a result of grippe A. Zut alors, those kids were near me less than a week ago – giving me bisous and hugs. I feel a flu coming along all of a sudden. Ha. No, pas vraiment! Je suis en forme, I’m fine! However at my schools for the next few weeks I shall be holding a slightly “ne me touche pas” stance. Hearing the stories of people with underlying illnesses or stories of people that had illnesses in the past that affected their immune system thus resulting in death or near death makes me paranoid. What if my heart condition + H1N1/09 = death? I’ve had no heart problems since being about 12 so I’m being slightly hypochondriac and conditional here, but it just makes you wonder if the number of precautions you put in place can really make a difference. The school which is closed for the moment due to the illness had previously enforced rules regarding hand washing, sneezing into tissues and then disposing of them in a sanitary way, being at home if illness was severe/potentially swine flu. So it’s an eye opener to see that we’re not always as safe and healthy as we think we are going to be as a result of putting precautions in place.

For now though I’m going to stick to my “ne me touche pas” stance, my eating very many vegetables and being generally healthy. Maybe I’ll buy some vitamins and minerals… too far? Yes. Thought so.

Give up smoking

Quite obvious really but if you want to dramatically improve your health then you need to quit smoking. You will lower the chances of developing cancer, heart disease, lung disease and death and if that’s not good enough…food will taste better, you’ll smell fresh and you won’t harm others around you with your second-hand smoke! So what’s stopping you? Visit your GP for help – they can talk you through the process of quitting and can prescribe you nicotine replacement therapy if required.

Alternatively visit the following NHS website for more advice:

http://smokefree.nhs.uk/

Cut down your alcohol intake

Occasional drinking is fine, so long as you stay within your limits. Ideally men should drink no more than 3 – 4 units (on a regular basis) a day whereas women should drink no more than 2 – 3 units per day. A glass of wine is typically 1.5 – 3 units, depending on the size of the glass and strength of the wine. A pint of beer is around 2.8 – 3 units. Men should try and stick to 21 units per week, whereas women should stick to 14 units. Cutting down your alcohol intake will lower your chances of liver disease and may make you sleep better. Your skin and eyes will become brighter and you’re likely to lose weight. Alcohol affects your body’s absorption of vitamins and also reduces cardio-vascular fitness and muscle growth. So if you want to improve your general health – drink less.

Learn the benefits of healthy food

Many of us eat when we’re hungry and don’t really think about what we’re putting into our mouths, but the purpose of food isn’t to just fill our bellies. Food provides us with vital vitamins and energy and helps us to grow and stay healthy. One of the best ways to become healthy is to educate and familiarise ourselves with food: the body is like a machine which requires healthy fuel to make it run efficiently. Try and eat your five portions of fruit and veg a day, don’t load your body with fatty foods, but above all have fun with your diet – a healthy balance equals a healthy mind.

Take up regular exercise

If you want to immediately feel good about yourself then get out there and release those endorphins! Try going for a brisk walk for a minimum of 20 mins x 3 times per week, then when you get used to this swap walking for a light jog, swim or a bike ride. Not only will this make you look better but you’ll also be brimming with confidence and have a healthy mind.

Take time out to meditate

Long term stress can suppress our immune system, which can then potentially lead to mental and physical illness. Take time to wind-down at the end of the day and relax. Try yoga or meditation – just a few minutes of deep breathing exercises a day can greatly reduce stress levels.

Our approach to sharing is one of educating people about the importance of wellness from a wellness perspective, not about selling products. Therefore we see ourselves as educators, not sales people.

Cellular Wellness Plans are starter plans for a 5 month time frame to assess your wellness. People consider these plans to be the first few months of a lifetime of good nutrition and wellness.

The plans are built around the 4 vital nutrients consisting of:

Glyconutrients ( Immune System Support)

Phytosterals (Hormone Balance Support)

Antioxidants (Cell Protection Support)

Vitamins and Minerals (Cell Feed Support)

Experience shows that people must take enough vital nutrients long enough to notice tangible wellness benefits. Also, people with increased health challenges may require additional immune system support.

Why 5 Months?

Cells in your body regenerate over time; we believe that in 5 months, most cells will have benefited from the addition of the 4 vital nutrients to your daily diet.

The 5 month point is a good time to assess your body’s response to these nutrients and make any desired adjustments to your wellness support program.

Why Different Cellular Health Plans?

Each plan consists of a basic level of hormonal balance (Endocrine support), antioxidant (cell protection), cell feed support, immune system support and the plans differs mainly with increased levels of immune system support.

Plans seek to provide enough vital nutrients for long enough for you to see benefits to your health and wellness. The principal concept is that people with some perceived health challenges may benefit from increased amounts of immune system support.

About Results!

Many people make the commitment to take these wellness vital nutrients for a lifetime. Consider these plans as a starter program. During the 5 month period, be sure to take note of any perceived wellness benefits you receive by supplementing.

If you want to share these wellness plans with others you care about, you may wish to contact me to help direct them to the resources for information to help educate them.

These vital nutrients are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent or mitigate any disease, but that science has shown a connection between good health and wellness and good nutrition.
