TOP FOUR HEALTH CONCERNS

Over the years in my private practice and especially having the

customer contact in my Boutique Health Store, I have determined

that the top four health concerns today are:

Blood Sugar Issues are epidemic! The average person consumes their

body weight in sugar annually. This has created a cascade of

symptoms from insulin resistance to weight gain. Secondary

symptoms include cardiovascular problems, metabolic syndrome,

nerve, kidney and vision problems. The medication most people are on

to treat both the primary and secondary conditions do nothing to improve
them but just maintain. Addressing the problem is what most people are

desperate to find out how to do. You address the primary insulin

resistance and the secondary symptoms disappear. I have created a

number of products to help achieve this goal.

Cholesterol is the next big concern. Most people do not realize that

a cholesterol problem is a liver problem. The liver performs 500

different jobs in the body daily. It is the filter that everything you ingest

has to go through in order to get into the body, this is called the first pass

in the body. Most people, based on the thousands of blood work results

I have reviewed have a liver functioning capacity somewhere between

50 and 70 percent. When the liver cannot perform all of its tasks on a

daily basis the first one to go is the hardest, lipid metabolism or processing

of dietary fats. Now the liver dumps them back into the blood stream and

we begin to see the elevated LDL (bad cholesterol) and Triglycerides

(dietary fats floating in the bloodstream). Medicating with statins lowers

LDL but at the cost of further damage to the liver and weakening the heart

in the process. You can support the liver with its unique nutrient needs to help
restore function and use natural lipid lowering agents to address the symptoms.

Stress related weight gain and adrenal exhaust is definitely number three.

Years of running on adrenaline from our busy lives leads to a constant

flow of Cortisol, adrenaline's partner in crime. When we should be having

3-4 cortisol releases a day, I would say 50% of the people I see are having

20. This leads to elevated cortisol levels which now exert control over the

body’s ability to function. Instead of converting fuel to energy everything

is now stored as fat, waist lines get bigger. It lowers serotonin in the brain

the largest brain chemical in volume so now we are not as sharp, we don’t

sleep properly and require more adrenaline to get us through the day.

Its a vicious circle that ultimately leaves us looking like raccoons with the dark

circle under the eyes and no energy, libido or joy. There are a few simple

steps that can reverse this process very rapidly and give you your feeling of

well being back.

Joint Pain and Arthritic Conditions are fourth place for the most common

complaints. The average person looses three inches by the time they are 80

years old. Bones do not shrink, it is the loss of soft tissue between the joints

that creates this painful, debilitating condition. It does not have to be this

way. Soft tissue is the third fastest replicating cell in the body. The body loves

to build the Mucopolysaccharides and Chondroitins that form the soft tissue.

To do this the body requires Glucosamine Sulphate and MSM, the sulfur molecule

needed to activate it. Take these and the body starts building soft tissue.

There are a number other players that also contribute to joint integrity

but it starts with having the cushioning between the joints.

ZEOLITE

Zeolite is a unique volcanic mineral that can be highly effective at destroying cancer cells. In fact, results have been so impressive, anyone fighting cancer or wishing to prevent cancer should be using zeolite.

Part of what zeolite does is to work on a couple of the basic issues in cancer. It is a powerful detoxifier, and improves the alkalinity of your body. More importantly though, zeolite is a cancer killer as it can, when pulled into cancer cells, activate the p21 gene which tells a cancer cell to die, or literally destroy the nucleus of cancerous cells.

Zeolite is a negatively charged volcanic mineral that naturally attracts positively charged toxins to it, (all toxins are positively charged) and traps them in its cage-like structure. Zeolite's ionic charge turns slightly positive when it is full of the positively charged toxins it has absorbed. Normal cells have a neutral charge while cancer cells have a slightly negative electrical charge. So the now slightly positively charged zeolite molecule is attracted to cancer cells. Once inside the cancer cells, it does a couple of things that can kill cancer cells.

1. Zeolite activates the p21 gene. The function of the p21 gene is to tell the cancer cell to die. P21 acts as a tumor suppressor as it controls cell cycle progression. The activation of p21 appears to halt the growth of tumors by directly suppressing growth signals. In in-vitro studies, all cancer cells tested were destroyed in 72 hour. There are no side effects because it specifically targets cancer cells as it is not attracted to normal healthy cells.
2. Another thing can happen once zeolite is pulled inside a cancer cell. The tri metallic part of the zeolite may destroy the nucleus or the cell or the cytoplasmic organelles. Some cancer cells are destroyed in an outward burst of the cytoplasm. In other cases cells are destroyed when their wall and membrane collapse after the nucleus is destroyed. Most often, after the nucleus and the cytoplasm are destroyed, the entire cellular contents dissipate into the surrounding environment. The membrane of these now dead cancer cells remain intact, but no cellular structures are left.

Again, because of its ionic charge, zeolite is attracted to cancer cells only. It does not get into ordinary, healthy cells.

Ammonia is a toxin that has no place in a healthy body. Thousands of people with liver and kidney disease die every year from too much ammonia in their blood. The average person can handle low levels of ammonia in their blood, but even a low level adds stress to the immune system, and compromises health.

Most ammonia in the body forms when protein is broken down by un-friendly bacteria in the intestines. It is also produced by parasites, yeasts and molds. These organisms produce ammonia both as a waste product, but also as a mechanism to keep their host (your body) in an unhealthy state. And as candida is almost always overgrown and infecting the whole body of someone with cancer, you may well have high levels of ammonia in your body.

A healthy liver converts ammonia into urea, which is then eliminated in urine. A key benefit of dietary zeolite is its ability to remove ammonia directly from your body, which means less stress on your liver and kidneys. A big bonus for your health.

PETROCHEMICALS IN THE HOME

Petrochemicals are everywhere. The average household contains 63 different synthetic chemical products which total approximately 10 gallons of potentially hazardous petrochemicals. Even more surprising is the form which these toxic household substances take. While we may point to that old can of paint or jug of antifreeze, in reality most hazardous chemicals are found in an unlikely place - common household cleaners. Most of today's household cleaners are petrochemical based.

Before the "petroleum revolution," people used natural ingredients like vegetable oils and minerals to make soaps and cleaning solutions. Once scientists learned how to manipulate hydrocarbon molecules, they realized they could create cheaper chemicals from crude oil that would do the same job with less manufacturing effort. Within a generation of this discovery, plant-based cleaners were replaced by mass produced petrochemical products.

If you're using common household cleaners, you're likely to encounter the following chemicals (among many others), and the following effects, while cleaning:

·         Chlorinated phenols found in toilet bowl cleaners are toxic to respiratory and circulatory systems.

·         Diethylene glycol found in window cleaners depresses the nervous system.

·         Phenols found in disinfectants are toxic to respiratory and circulatory systems.

·         Nonyl phenol ethoxylate, a common surfactant (or detergent) found in laundry detergents and all purpose cleaners, is banned in Europe, and biodegrades slowly into even more toxic compounds.

·         Formaldehyde found in spray and wick deodorizers is a respiratory irritant and suspected carcinogen.

·         Petroleum solvents in floor cleaners damage mucous membranes.

·         Perchloroethylene, a spot remover, causes liver and kidney damage.

·         Butyl cellosolve, common in all-purpose, window and other types of cleaners damages bone marrow, the nervous system, kidneys and the liver.

The list could fill a book and includes thousands of other chemicals some of which are so dangerous that they're included on lists of chemicals in the toxics section of the Clean Air and Water Act.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to identify which products contain these hazardous ingredients. While cleaners are the only household products regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission under the Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act, they're still not required to reveal their ingredients. These ingredients are considered "trade secrets" so government regulations are actually designed to protect this proprietary information rather than to protect human health or the environment.

When it comes to cleaners, the consumer has little to go on beyond the warning labels that manufacturers are required to put on their products. The labels DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION give only a very general idea about the overall seriousness of the unknown substances the products contain. In fact, a New York Poison Control Center study found that 85% of product warning labels are inadequate. These warnings only apply to the immediate health effects that a product causes and don't address what really happens when we use them over a long period of time.

The average household contains anywhere from 3 to 25 gallons of toxic materials, most of which are in conventional household cleaners. When we use conventional cleaners in our homes, petrochemicals from different products often form hazardous new substances when they accidentally meet. These hazardous substances affect us in many ways. Often they're absorbed through our skin; they can stay suspended in the air for hours or even days after the product has been used; and they can leave residues behind that end up on our skin or on our food. The results can be deadly.

A 15 year study in Oregon, comparing women who didn't work outside the home with women who did, found a 54% higher death rate from cancer in the women who stayed home. The study suggested that chronic exposure to cleaning products played a role.

Each year there are 5-10 million household product poisonings reported - mostly of children. With all these chemicals in our homes, it's no wonder that the EPA found the air quality in our homes to be on average 2-5 times more polluted than the air outside. The EPA found that our indoor air contains 20-150 different pollutants in concentrations 10-40 times higher than those outdoors - much of it from petrochemical cleaners. There are roughly 17,000 petrochemicals available for public and home use of which the National Research Council estimates that less than 30% have been tested for their effects on human and environmental health.

LUTILOX

Lutilox

Lutilox is from a class of naturally occurring molecules known as bioflavonoids. Lutilox neutralizes free radicals such as superoxide, the hydroxyl radical, and other reactive oxygen compounds to help reduce oxidative stress and helps reduce inflammation, regulate hyperactive immune systems, and promote healthy carbohydrate metabolism.

  

 Lutilox is fundamental to:

• Natural And Extremely Potent Antioxidant
• Promotes Healthy Nerve and Muscle Function
• Helps Reduce Inflammation for Aches & Stiffness
• Increases Energy And Endurance
• Promotes Healthy Metabolism of Carbohydrates
• Reduces Aging by Free Radicals
 

FREE RADICALS

Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals produced in our bodies that indiscriminately attack and destroy tissue causing aging, inflammation, allergies, disease, and disrupt organ and enzyme function.

Oxidative stress is a condition that arises when our cells cannot adequately destroy the free radicals we make as a normal byproduct of metabolism and cellular processes. We make more free radicals during periods of exercise, physical and emotional stress. Oxidative stress also results from exposure to toxic chemicals such as smoke, hydrocarbons, pesticides, and smog as well as prescription drugs and alcohol.

TECHNICAL PART OF FREE RADICALS

As a normal part of our metabolism, carbohydrates are converted to glucose and glucose is then converted into ATP. ATP is the universal energy molecule in our bodies. The byproduct of ATP synthesis is Superoxide. In glucose metabolism, oxygen becomes superoxide when an electron is accepted by oxygen to make the ATP. Superoxide is a highly toxic chemical and is normally converted in the mitochondria by the essential enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) into H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), which is then rapidly transformed into water and oxygen by the enzyme catalase (CAT). Hydrogen peroxide is also highly toxic to tissue and forms the hydroxyl radical (.OH), one of the most reactive chemical species known to man. SOD is so essential, if the SOD encoding gene is damaged or mutated, ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease develops. As we age, the efficiency of both superoxide dismutase and catalyze enzyme systems decrease and then free radicals rise to dangerous levels.

Superoxide, the hydroxyl radical, and other reactive oxygen species are dangerous because they rob electrons indiscriminately from tissues near their site of formation. When free radicals create oxidative stress that is unchecked, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Lupus, and Alzheimer's Disease may develop. It is therefore essential to protect our cells from the damaging effects of free radicals that mediate these diseases.

When free radicals react with blood lipids such as low-density lipoprotein, lipid peroxidiation takes place and the lipids begin to stick together and to the walls of arteries forming plaques called atherosclerosis. Further tissue damage and inflammation by free radicals can then lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Antioxidants combat free radicals by giving up the electron they would otherwise rob from nearby tissues. Well known antioxidants include Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Beta Carotene. The antioxidant Lutilox is two times stronger than Vitamin C and E also functions synergistically in the body to restore spent Vitamin C levels which in turn regenerate Vitamin E.

Maintaining a constant level of Lutilox in the body supports health by providing strong antioxidant protection from oxidative stress and the diseases caused thereby.

INFLAMMATION

Inflammation results when immune cells secrete an abundance of messenger chemicals collectively known as cytokines. These cytokines include prostaglandins, TNF-alpha, leukotrienes, histamine, and interleukins. These inflammatory chemicals signal the immune system to produce free radicals and other inflammatory chemicals. When this inflammation is a result of infection, the free radicals and TNF-alpha help to defend the body by attacking foreign invaders. But when the inflammatory response is due to antigens unrelated to infection such as an allergy or pain, the body suffers pain and damaging effects from the inflammatory chemicals and the free radicals.

Lutilox can be a potent anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits the over-production and synthesis of TNF-alpha, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, histamine, and interleukins, thereby helping to prevent the negative effects of allergies, inflammation, and overproduction of free radicals.

INSULIN RESISTANCE

Insulin is required to transport glucose from the bloodstream across the cell wall for fuel to provide energy to our cells. As our body ages, our metabolism slows down, and many cells become less sensitive to Insulin or 'Insulin Resistant'.

'Insulin Resistance' causes our bodies to require more insulin to transport the glucose across the cell wall and increases lipid synthesis leading to Type II Diabetes. Insulin Resistance is also called Syndrome X and is associated with decreased energy (a sense of lethargy) and eventually obesity.

Lutilox can be a potent blood sugar-reducing compound, capable of re-sensitizing our cells to insulin and enhancing the ability of insulin to transport glucose across the cell membrane, and may help to normalize blood glucose levels.
