In vitro laboratory tests confirm that n-fuzed Candida kills candida albicans in as little as 3 days, and eliminates it entirely in 7 days.  In fact it is the only Candida dietary supplement that we are aware of whereby every batch is laboratory tested for Candida inhibition.

Using the same principle as "like treats like," n-fuzed Candida triggers the immune system to eliminate systemic Candida.  Harmonic Innerprizes has successfully taken the electromagnetic frequency of candida albicans and infused it into the crystalline structure of the water. Combining this water with Pau D’ Arco root, Black Walnut hulls, and vitamin C, it stimulates the immune system to stop the spread of candida in the body, and reduce its population. 

Candida Overgrowth is an Epidemic

Candida overgrowth is epidemic in our society and it is the underlying cause of many chronic disease conditions. Candida albicans is a naturally occurring genus of yeast that normally resides in the intestinal tract, mouth, throat and genitals along with other organisms. However, problems begin to happen when something upsets the balance of these organisms and candida begins to multiply and over populate. It can even burrow holes in the intestinal tract, enter the blood stream and then make it's way into any organ of the body. To make matters worse it emits over 70 different toxins into the body. Some people may even become allergic to the yeast itself.

What typically triggers this is the use of pharmaceutical antibiotics and/or birth control pills. A diet dominated with processed foods, sugar, and alcohol will exasperate this condition significantly. While millions of people deal with Candida overgrowth every day, millions more get no help since it is often misdiagnosed and people who have it don't even know they have it.  Typical symptoms include digestion issues, skin problems, foggy brain, fatigue, headaches, sugar cravings, and more.  Read our n-fuzed Candida webpage for a more complete list of candida symptoms and a list of the many debilitating conditions that candida overgrowth can trigger. 

Impressive Results

But the true results are in the real world. Health practitioners are reporting that in most cases relief from candida symptoms begin to subside within just a few days. One practitioner stated that she usually sees her candida patients at least every other week. Since she has been giving them n-fuzed Candida, they are not calling and re-scheduling. “Must be working,” she states.

A weight loss clinic started to give n-fuzed Candida to patients who simply were not losing weight under their normal protocol. When systemic candida is removed from the colon, internal tissues and blood, the body simply works better. It metabolizes food better, eliminates waste better, and the pounds come off.

How Long Until I See Results?

N-fuzed Candida is a liquid, taken by mouth 3 or 4 times per day for two weeks, then twice a day until the 8 oz bottle is gone. The whole process takes about 4 weeks to complete. Most people will notice an improvement in symptoms in those first two weeks, if not the first few days. Changes in diet and perhaps environment are encouraged to keep Candida at bay.

People ask “When will I be cured of my candida overgrowth?” This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many variables. Your body is a much more complicated organism than a Petri dish. So we are not suggesting that you should expect complete relief from all candida symptoms in just 3 days.  However, one full treatment of 8 oz of n-fuzed Candida, will contribute to your state of optimal health.

The most significant factor in how long it takes is how many years your body has been dealing with candida. The longer the time, the weaker the immune system will be. Next are dietary considerations. You cannot keep feeding the candida with yeast and sugar. So you need to eliminate all simple carbohydrates and foods containing yeast. See our blog Taming the Yeast Beast. Your living environment is also critical. If you live or work in an environment that has high levels of mold, you will have a very difficult time completely eradicating your candida. In the future, if you find symptoms returning, another round with N-fuzed Candida may be necessary.

If you try N-fuzed Candida, do let us know what your results are. You can leave a review on the product webpage. We think this product is going to help a great many people, and we are very excited that we are able to offer it to our customers!

The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), established in 1994, is the largest investigation of long-term successful weight loss maintenance. The NWCR is tracking over 10,000 individuals 18 years of age or older who have lost at least 30 pounds and maintain the weight loss for one year or longer.

People in the registry have some of the following characteristics:

• 80% of persons in the registry are women and 20% are men.
• The "average" woman is 45 years of age and currently weighs 145 lbs, while the "average" man is 49 years of age and currently weighs 190 lbs.
• Registry members have lost an average of 66 lbs and kept it off for 5.5 years.
• 45% of Registry participants lost the weight on their own and the other 55% lost weight with the help of some type of program.
• 98% of Registry participants report that they modified their food intake in some way to lose weight.
• 94% increased their physical activity, with the most frequently reported form of activity being walking.
• There is variety in how NWCR members keep the weight off. Most report continuing to maintain a low calorie, low fat diet and doing high levels of activity.
  • 78% eat breakfast every day.
  • 75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
  • 62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.
  • 90% exercise, on average, about 1 hour per day.

 Kirk Suggests:

• Weigh yourself 1-2 times DAILY. It's not about self-judgement, it’s about seeing how your environment effects your weight…It's educational and keeps you from living in denial.
• Television watching for hours, or sedentary time while working on the computer or internet are "death" to your weight loss success. I tell people if they are television watchers get on 'your machine' for at least 1/2 hour, preferably an hour, during your favorite television program EVERY DAY. Or, every half hour get up and exercise for 5 minutes. I highly recommend Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer if you say you have 'no time.' I just started doing it and highly recommend it! I don't have a weight problem, but I use it to get in short workouts in my busy day. The "10 Minute Yoga" routine has been a life saver for me!
• Don't add fat to your diet in the form of free oils (or butter). Keep them to a minimum. Get your fats in whole foods – beans, nuts and seeds mainly. 
• Have a HUGE salad as a main meal daily (not a side salad) with a variety of greens, vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts and seeds. No creamy, cheesy or oil-based dressings! (See "Super Salad Recipe")   
• Eat a diet of unprocessed food, with the most micronutrient dense foods to reduce "Toxic Hunger" and allow for real hunger to guide your eating and weight maintenance (see also article "Toxic Hunger the Main Cause of Obesity"). 
• Pick the foods off the BED Diet (Basic Elimination Diet) for a month to check for common allergens.
• Learn how to eat more "good, whole, unprocessed food" than focusing on eating less "bad food". Your weight loss diet should really become your maintenance diet.
• Accountability and support are critical for most people. Have a buddy or group that supports you staying on the program. 

There are many good books on weight loss and maintenance. My favorite is "Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman, MD.  

Energetic Nutrition Suggests:

Along with whole foods and increased exercise, try Almased Natural Weight Management and Dietary Supplementation

Lose weight in a healthy way by taking advantage of your body's own metabolic processes. Almased uses your body's own mechanisms and processes to burn long-term fat deposits without the use of stimulants or artificial fillers. Its formula prevents the loss of lean muscle mass, which means more calories burned. It reduces blood sugar and insulin fluctuations that cause cravings during other diet programs.

I was asked on a radio show to give New Year's tips on health and wellness. The first thing that came to mind was that it has been said it takes about three weeks to change habits and tastes. I know from many years of clinical experience cheese cravings go away after three weeks. It's like clockwork.

Since I have three phases to my TRIAD Wellness Program, or, my "9 Simple Steps to Optimal Health", I was thinking of what simple tips I can give for the diet, exercise and mind-body phases. 

Diet

I think a very important and actually life changing habit would be to eat a large vegetable salad every day. Not just a side salad, but a large salad that is the main meal full of different greens, 4-5 vegetables, ½ to 1 cup of beans, a tablespoon or two of raw nuts or seeds and maybe some chopped fruit. NO CREAMY, OILY DRESSINGS.

I call this my Super Salad Recipe – "1" Salad a Day for Optimal Health (21 Day Transition Program to Healthy Eating). It is very simple – one salad as a main meal per day. 

Exercise

The first thing that comes to mind is to just take a walk for 1/2 hour every day. Make it easy to be successful. Success breeds success. For most of us it's not so much that the exercise is the problem but it's taking the time out of our busy lives. So just take a 1/2 hour walk a day for three weeks. That's ten and a half hours of walking to help build the habit over 3 weeks. 

Another idea came up for me about how to build the exercise habit and be successful at it, and it only takes "10 minutes" a day. I highly recommend ordering Tony Horton's "10 Minute Trainer."  Tony is the exercise guru who is the creator of the very popular P90X. I am kind of a gym rat and also dance a lot so I didn't want to spend an extra hour per day doing P90X even though it's an awesome program.  But there were areas I wanted to do better in my workouts, or add to my total wellness program. Flexibility was one of them. My yoga/stretching was kind of hit or miss. Well Tony's "10 Minute Trainer"  is perfect for me, especially the 10 minute yoga routine (there are 4 other 10 minute routines that come with the program). I have only missed one day in a month. Why? Because mentally I feel I can always do 10 minutes no matter how busy I am. And, I see results. So give Tony Horton's "10 Minute Trainer" a trial for 3 weeks. You will be pleased if you just do it! "Just 10 Minutes" per day!

Mind-Body

The last tip is for your mind-body effort, probably the most important health maintenance habit to create. It's to just sit quietly in the same spot for 15-30 minutes every day for 3 weeks. Just sit and be physically still. Don't worry about what happens in your mind; what thoughts come and go; if your mind is "empty" or not. Just concentrate on being physically still. I "ask", when I sit, to help me see the next step on my path to be who I am supposed to be, my purpose, to be of service to the planet.   

So take the "three week" challenge of these simple wellness pillars. You won't be disappointed!

Happy New Year and a Prosperous and Healthy 2012!

It's a new year and you've resolved to make some major changes in your life. Whether it's to eat better, stop smoking, or drop some pounds, if there's one health principle that I can tell you is super important to your optimal health, it's EXERCISE.

Give me a regular daily exerciser as a patient, and s/he will see me less and get well faster; though, admittedly there are always exceptions. Still, if you want to be well and stay well, stay away from doctors and hospitals, have lower medical insurance rates and bills, have more vitality, and better function into your senior years, then you need to move every day! Starting now! 

Thinking about how we evolved and the amount of movement done by healthy aging cultures, we need to exercise every day not three days per week, but every day, for a minimum of a half-hour per day. With that said, remember that something is always better than nothing. If you can't hit your ideal time, be sure to do something. Fifteen minutes of walking is always, always better than nothing because the benefits of exercise are cumulative!

But daily structured movement has to become as essential to your life as brushing your teeth, taking a shower, combing your hair, and other normal and expected activities of daily living. When you get to the point where not exercising feels "not right," the way you'd feel if you didn't brush your teeth for the day, then you have built what I call the exercise habit. For example:

• When you don't go home from work until you exercise, you have built the exercise habit.
• When you don't turn on the TV before you exercise at home, or at least turn on the TV at the same time you exercise, you have built the exercise habit.
• When you are looking for ways to exercise when you are away from home on business or vacation, you have built the exercise habit.
• When you don't try to make an excuse for not exercising, you have built the exercise habit.
• If you say, "Some exercise is better than no exercise" when you can't do your regular exercise routine, and you do something else involving movement, you have developed the exercise habit. 

If you are new to the exercise game, it is going to take three to nine months before you build the exercise habit and it becomes "part of you." What you must do first is to create the space (time) to incorporate exercise into your life. Fifteen to thirty minutes is acceptable to start. The second thing you must do is to shoot for exercising on a daily basis. It doesn't matter at first what type of exercise, as long as it is some type of aerobic, big muscle-moving exercise and is safe.
 

Building the Habit

Keep in mind that success with exercise is more about consistency and time than it is about technique and intensity. If you build in the time to exercise as part of your normal day and are consistent with your exercise program, you will see results and will naturally start to pick up the intensity/duration of the exercise after a few weeks.

Now, some hard core exercisers will probably disagree with me on this, but to me "pain is no gain." For the average person, it is far more important to have lots of victories to keep your exercise program alive than it is to push through pain, injure yourself or be so sore that you quit altogether. Nagging injuries, persistent soreness and pain are surefire "killers" to those trying to build an exercise habit. Down the road, after exercising three months to a year, if you really want to push yourself, give it a try. You will be less likely to quit exercising then because you will have built the habit. 

Since time is precious to all of us, it is very important that we make exercise time-efficient and as fun as possible. One way to make sure to get your exercise in even when you're busy life (excuses…excuses) is preventing you from getting to the gym, is to do as much "non-exercise" exercise as possible. Here are a few examples of "non-exercise":

• Get up off the couch and change the TV channel instead of using the remote control.
• Get up for 5 to 10 minutes for each hour of sitting. Use breaks to walk or stretch.
• If you watch television, do aerobic exercise in front of your favorite television show daily.
• Do isometrics periodically while sitting (contracting and relaxing of muscles) or, better yet, pick up some dumb bells while sitting (and use them!). If you are older and don’t have dumb bells, use canned goods as dumb bells.
• Restrict sitting to activities that require it, such as eating, learning, writing, keyboarding, and essential driving.
• Sit on a ball while at your home or at work instead of a traditional chair.
• Walk briskly while doing chores, shopping, or errands.
• Do your own gardening or mow your own lawn.
• Take the stairs versus the elevator or escalator.
• Walk in an airport instead of using the moving walkway.
• Park in the parking lot in a far-away spot. Don't drive around to get the closest spot.
• Walk to a local restaurant around your work place at lunch.
• Ride your bicycle or walk to work.
• Walk to public transit and use it versus hopping into your car.  

Just think: These basic examples only cover the simple things we can do as a part of our daily routines. They don't even begin to account for all the exercise opportunities just waiting to be incorporated into our "fun" time! 

As a reminder, your goal when it comes to exercise, should be to do a minimum of one half-hour DAILY with a goal of one hour daily of aerobic exercise. That means you need to be doing something where you are moving your big muscles (like your legs and arms) to the point where you get your heart rate up. You should still be able to talk but you should definitely be working out enough so you are breaking a sweat. 

What types of activities constitute aerobic activity?

• Walking
• Hiking
• Running
• Biking
• Swimming
• Roller skating
• Jumping Rope
• Using the stair-climber, elliptical rider or treadmill at the gym.
• Taking a martial arts or dance classes 

The types of aerobic exercise are endless. Keep in mind that spending hours in the gym isn't necessary. Just doing something daily that gets your heart rate up (aerobics), challenges your muscles (strength training) and causes you to extend and contract ligaments, muscles, and tendons (flexibility), is the key. And don't forget to eat as much whole, unrefined plant foods as possible.

Energetic Nutrition Suggests:

Along with whole foods and increased exercise, try Almased Natural Weight Management and Dietary Supplementation 

Lose weight in a healthy way by taking advantage of your body's own metabolic processes. Almased uses your body's own mechanisms and processes to burn long-term fat deposits without the use of stimulants or artificial fillers. Its formula prevents the loss of lean muscle mass, which means more calories burned. It reduces blood sugar and insulin fluctuations that cause cravings during other diet programs.

If there’s one thing most of us obsess over on a day-to-day basis, it’s calories.  Whether it’s how many we’re consuming each time we eat or how many we’re burning during our workouts, we’ve definitely become a calorie conscious society.  Though taking stock of the number of calories we’re eating daily is integral to maintaining a healthy diet, another issue just as important but infrequently discussed is caloric density or CD. What exactly is caloric density? It’s the calorie content of the food you’re eating by weight.

Determining the CD of what you’re eating is an essential measurement to have if you’re trying to eat well or shed unwanted pounds.  If you have a tendency to eat too many foods with a high CD, then you’re taking in way too many calories in one sitting. If weight loss is your ultimate goal your objective should be to take in fewer calories by eating foods that have a low CD.  Of course, the benefit of consuming low calorically dense foods is that you can eat MORE.  For those of you on a diet plan it doesn’t get any better than that because it gives you the opportunity to eat without the guilt of taking in an excessive amount of calories. 

By now I’m sure it’s obvious to you which foods have the lowest CD – fruit and vegetables. Yet another reason why eating whole, unprocessed, plant-based nutrition is the best diet in the world!  Whatever your specific dietary preference, knowing how to calculate the caloric density of your food intake is valuable information to have.  And it’s quite easy to do!  All it requires is that you take two numbers off the food label – the number of calories per serving AND the weight (in grams) per serving.  Next you divide the calories by the weight in grams and the numeric result is the caloric density. In order to gauge whether the number you got is good, decent or just downright bad, use the following ranges:

to 0.7        = Very Low
0.8 to 1.5 = Low to Moderate
1.6 to 3.0 = Moderate to High
3.1  + up  = Very High Caloric Density

Now, let’s see how this actually translates to a few foods that are commonly eaten:

• An average sized apple contains about 72 calories and weighs approximately 132 grams. If we divide the 72 calories by 132 grams the caloric density of this apple is .54 (78 cal/138 g).  According to the range specifications above, this means that an apple’s caloric density is very low so you can virtually eat as many as you want.
• A plain enriched bagel has about 182 calories and weighs approximately 71 grams.  The CD of the bagel is 2.56 (182 cal/71 g).  This has a moderate to high caloric density so you should definitely watch your portion size and try not to eat several bagels per day.
• One ounce of almonds (24 almonds) is approximately 163 calories and weighs about 28.35 grams.  The CD for this handful of almonds is 5.6 (163 cal/28.35 g)!! This is very high, so you want to eat sparingly.
• A three-ounce piece of lean, fat-trimmed, top sirloin steak that has been broiled contains approximately 163 calories and weighs 85 grams.  This serving has a CD of 1.91 (163 cal/85 g), which is in the moderate to high range so you should watch your portion size.
• One tablespoon of olive oil has approximately 119 calories and 13.5 grams. This small amount of oil has a caloric density of 8.8 (119 cal/13.5 g).  This is really high so it’s in your best interest to use oil sparingly.

Figuring out the caloric density of what you eat is pretty easy isn’t it?

What to Eat?

Again, if you’re looking to lose weight or simply want to eat better, you can reduce the CD in your overall diet by understanding a couple of principles. If most of what you consume on a daily basis is fruits and vegetables, then you are doing well and can generally eat as much of these two food groups as you want.  One note of caution though: Try to refrain from eating too much dried fruit because the water content is extracted and what would normally be a low caloric dense food suddenly when dried becomes a high calorie dense food with concentrated sugar.  Your best bet is to eat foods high in water content and fiber (i.e., fruits, vegetables, soups, and cooked grains) because they dilute calories and naturally reduce the CD. They also generally happen to be very high in nutrient density as well.

Cooked whole grains, beans, and potatoes in their skin along with lean fish and poultry, are largely in the moderate caloric density range.  If I’m the one who has to make the choice and I’m trying to reduce my CD, I would select the plant-based foods over the seafood and poultry in part because I am vegan, but also the plant-based foods have fiber, provide more bulk in the stomach, and contain more micronutrients.  Interesting to note, if you take cooked grains and make them into bread with whole or refined grain flour, the CD increases significantly (up to seven times)!

Even though I encourage my patients to eat whole, sprouted grain breads because they’re more nutritious and promote better health that refined flour breads, the truth is that one slice of bread whether from refined wheat flour or whole or sprouted wheat, has essentially the same CD. For example, the CD for a slice of the sprouted whole grain bread I personally love to eat is 2.64.  The CD of a slice of pure white sandwich bread that I see many shoppers buying in my local grocery story is 2.5!  That’s not that big of a difference. Why?  It’s because breads, no matter what type, are a moderately high calorically dense food. 

Generally (but not always) when the fiber content of a bread increases the CD goes down.  Still, given how similar the caloric density is for both types, this is one reason why it’s often recommended that breads are eliminated or eaten sparingly when following a weight loss regimen.  If (and this is a big IF!) you must make the choice between eating  whole or sprouted-grain breads and refined white bread, the whole or sprouted grain bread is obviously the better choice. With increased fiber and nutrient content, you will likely eat less of it because the fiber provides the feeling of fullness and reduces hunger.

So, as you see, understanding what a “CD” is and how important it is to maintaining a healthy diet, will definitely set you on the path to making better food choices. That, of course, is a good thing.  And for some it may even be a life saver!
 

Energetic Nutrition Suggests: Along with eating healthy, give your body the nutrients it needs with high quality supplements like these:

	A good quality multi-vitamin like Life Essence Multiple provides enzymes, metabolic pigments, flavones, trace elements, amino acids, antioxidants, and countless co-nutrients and phyto-chemicals. Together, these things create a multiple like none you've ever seen before…one that not only supports health, but actually builds it.
	Omega-3 fats like the ones found in ArcticPure Omega-3 support the healthy functions of the brain, joints, and circulatory system. Omega-3 fatty acids also help support a healthy cardiovascular system by thinning the blood, dilating blood vessels, and supporting healthy blood pressure. It also has components that inhibit inflammatory mediators.
	Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant which has been shown to safeguard LDL cholesterol from oxidation.  CoQ10 is a critical component in the primary energy cycle, and is most abundant in the heart. Deficiencies in CoQ10 strongly correlate with heart disease.
	Vitamin E can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, support healthy cholesterol levels, provide positive effects on the growth and regulation of cells and tissues, and even nerve transmission. A deficiency can have a negative impact on these functions.

Evidently we are. The problem is the average American doesn't get that 7 of 10 deaths in the United States occur from chronic diseases that are largely preventable, and many times reversible with low-fat, unprocessed vegan diets like Dr. Barnard recommends in his 21 Day Kickstart Program. Both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) state that these chronic diseases are related to four risk factors: poor diet, inactivity, tobacco and alcohol use.The WHO further states…. if these risk factors were eliminated, 80 percent of heart disease, stroke and diabetes, and 40 percent of cancers would be eliminated. That would be the greatest health discovery ever if implemented.  

Why do we keep relying on drugs and surgical procedures to treat these chronic conditions when they are clearly reversible and preventable through diet?

I really believe, aside from ignorance and laziness, it's because insurance companies cover treatments with drugs and surgery that are really ineffective at treating the cause of these illnesses. People would rather take a pill or have a surgical procedure that is paid for by insurance than get off their butts and do an aggressive diet like Dr. Barnard's which has been shown by a variety of researchers using similar diets to reverse or dramatically slow the progression of diabetes, heart disease, obesity related illnesses and cancer (prostate). If insurance companies would only cover catastrophic illness, such as traumas and infections, but not heart or vascular disease related illnesses (except genetic structural disorders), type 2 diabetes, obesity related illnesses and other chronic conditions people would either sink (die) or swim (live)?

It’s Pure Insanity!

If you think I am cruel or crazy remember this definition of insanity by Ben Franklin, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." We will never have a chance at real healthcare reform, a viable economy, or a healthy population if we keep eating the Standard American Diet (SAD). In fact, with the tsunami of boomers that are arriving into their senior years, the American fabric of life may be destroyed because we have no means to take care of all these chronic diseases, and we will go bankrupt spending an ever escalating part of our GDP (17% presently) on healthcare. "In the Long-Term Budget Outlook that the Congressional Budget Office released in June 2009, total spending on health care was projected to reach about 31 percent of GDP in 2035 and about 46 percent in 2080 under the extended baseline scenario." If we didn't pay for medication or surgical procedures with insurance, each individual would be forced to change or die, or pay out of pocket. With the latter they might be more motivated to change. Sound extreme? So is the definition of insanity. Think about it.

Within these pages are simple rules for efficient and effective diet, exercise and mind-body practices that make this program easy for even the busiest person. 

Energetic Nutrition Suggests:

Along with whole foods, try Almased Natural Weight Management and Dietary Supplementation.

Lose weight in a healthy way by taking advantage of your body's own metabolic processes. Almased uses your body's own mechanisms and processes to burn long-term fat deposits without the use of stimulants or artificial fillers. Its formula prevents the loss of lean muscle mass, which means more calories burned. It reduces blood sugar and insulin fluctuations that cause cravings during other diet programs.

Leave the Toxins Behind

A natural compliment to a healthy weight loss program is support for the detoxification organs. Energetic Nutrition’s Detoxify Kit contains the perfect combination of nutrients to protect and provide you with the guidance you have come to expect from us.   

Random fat sampling by our EPA shows that all Americans store fat-soluble toxins from common chemical exposures in their fat. Daily we face an onslaught of pollution in our environment and most food resources. Many of these toxins, like PCBs or hormone mimicking chemicals, are proven to become elevated in your blood as they are released from fat cells during weight loss. You must be able to get these toxins out of your system as you lose weight, otherwise your fat will simply not release them easily and you can find yourself struggling to continue to lose weight past a certain point.   

A peer reviewed study published in the Journal of American Neurotoxicology and Teratology states that only small to moderate amounts of pesticides in rats cause excessive weight gain by damaging brain structures like the hypothalamus and the pituitary (Lassiter, 2008).   

When toxins enter your body they can be stored in your fat cells, due to the fact that they are fat soluble. When the toxins attach to the outer cell membrane, it causes the cells to continually release a hormone called Leptin. Leptin tells the brain to burn fat for energy however an overproduction of Leptin can cause receptor sites to become resistant and no longer function properly. Therefore, weight gain that does not respond to exercise or diet is inevitably due to Leptin resistance.   

Toxins also cause the release of chemicals called cytokines that damage Leptin receptors in the brain (hypothalamus). Cytokines cause an inflammation response that impacts optimal liver function. The liver synthesizes stores and metabolizes fats. In other words, a healthy functioning liver supports healthy fat loss and maintenance. Detoxification is a necessary support factor to any weight loss program.   

Detoxification is a process in which potentially harmful compounds are excreted.  The lungs, skin, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract are all responsible for this detox process; while the liver is considered to be the major organ of detoxification. Within the liver cells there are a number of intricate mechanisms involved in the breakdown of toxic substances. Chemicals that enter our bodies, including drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and hormones are broken down by liver cells. If the liver is over-burdened, it has a difficult time performing these necessary functions.   

Our Detoxify Kit contains:   

CoQ10 – Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential to human life and is a crucial component in the primary energy production cycle. Research indicates that supplementation of this nutrient may enhance detox function and reduce free radicals. Also known as ubiquinone, is considered to be one of the true cornerstones of health.  Without it, imbalances can occur and our bodily systems won’t work at their optimal level.

Chamae Rose Tea – Chamae Rose helps promote the natural detoxification process of the body with particular effects on the liver, lungs, kidneys, and lymphatic system. When the body is cleared of toxins, especially the liver, one's ability to lose weight can increase. Chamae Rose contains significant levels phytochemicals, such as polyphenols, a well-researched class of flavonoids that possess strong antioxidant activity and are noted for their protection from free radical damage and have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic affects.
 

LifeEssence Master Multiple – LifeEssence offers superior detoxifcation support with its high quality vitamins, mineral and super tonic herbs with antioxidants. It contains a 100% Organic Whole Food Base that includes spirulina, chlorella, oat grass juice concentrate and barley grass juice concentrate. Its vitamins and minerals are the very best that money can buy, and its superior Tonics are the purest, cleanest herbs available.

Additional Support

You can obtain additional benefit from a superfood such as
LifeSource SuperFood to your shakes. Superfood describes
a food that is naturally concentrated to provide all the nutritional elements necessary for optimal health. SuperFoods also contain phytochemicals that scientists believe protecs the body and promotes cellular wellness. A little bit of powder goes a long way in your shakes, or take a few capsules per day.

For additional liver and detoxification support, add Calcium D-Glucarate – Cellular Detoxifier. Many believe that this nutrient aids the body in the elimination of many harmful toxins, including excess hormones, keeping the body well balanced. One tablet (500 mg.) of Source Naturals Calcium D-Glucarate is equivalent to the phytonutrient activity found in 82 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Almased is designed to reduce blood sugar and insulin fluctuations that cause cravings during other diet programs. For those with more extreme blood sugar or insulin fluctuations, consider Ketsumeisei. Ketsumeisei is a proprietary herbal compound that has been formulated to improve metabolic and microcirculatory disturbances like those associated with poor metabolism, Type II diabetes mellitus, and insulin resistance.  Ketsumeisei has been found to help maintain stabilized blood sugar and improve insulin resistance by helping to lower free fatty acid in the body, according to clinical studies. Both Almased and Ketsumeisei are safe for those with diabetes.  

Almased Wellness Tea  stimulates detoxification by increasing kidney function and promotes restfulness and sleep. The tea can be used during the Almased Synergy Diet.  It is naturally decaffeinated.

We feel everyone can benefit from adding Life Essence (part of the Detoxify Kit) into their regimen, because we believe virtually everyone needs the levels of nutrition it provides. However, if you simply can not bring yourself to take more than one tablet per day, then One ‘n’ Only should be the supplement of choice.

The Importance of Vitamin C

Antioxidants like those included in Systemic Vitamin C can help boost immune function, while protecting our cells and DNA from free radical damage. These antioxidants can also serve as a preventative measure against many different health issues from colds and flu to more serious disorders like cardiovascular disease.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Although heart disease is sometimes thought of as a "man's disease," it is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the United States, and women account for nearly 50% of heart disease deaths. Heart disease is the third leading cause of death among women aged 25–44 years and the second leading cause of death among women aged 45–64 years.  The average age for a first heart attack for men is 66 years and almost half of men who have a heart attack under age 65 die within 8 years. (1) Half of men and almost two-thirds of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms. (2)

Atherosclerosis is also the most common cause of cardiovascular disease, which occurs when the arteries become clogged and narrowed, restricting blood flow. Without adequate blood flow from the coronary arteries, the heart becomes starved of oxygen and the vital nutrients it needs to work properly. A heart attack or myocardial infarction occurs when a plaque ruptures, allowing a blood clot to form. This completely obstructs the artery, stopping blood flow to part of the heart muscle, and that portion of muscle dies.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, stress, and secondhand smoke are risk factors associated with heart disease. Other conditions that affect your heart or increase your risk of death or disability include arrhythmia, heart failure, family history, and peripheral artery disease (PAD).

The good news is that many cases of heart disease can be prevented and even reversed by the application of a strict diet, exercise, and stress management practices. People who have survived a heart attack can also work to reduce their risk of another heart attack or a stroke in the future. Healthy aging populations have dramatically reduced the incidence of heart disease when following their traditional lifestyle, while younger generations adopting the modern Western diet and lifestyle are developing heart disease at the same rate as those in the West.

Know Your Signs and Symptoms

Knowing the signs and symptoms of heart attack are crucial to the most positive outcomes after having a heart attack.  Some heart attacks are sudden and intense; however, most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before getting help. Call 9-1-1 immediately at the onset of heart attack symptoms. These are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:

• Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
• Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.
• Other signs. These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness.
• Signs in women may be different than for men.  Read our blog: Women and Heart Attacks: Identify the Signs, Save a Life

Healthy Lifestyle: Diet and Nutrition, Exercise and Fitness  

A healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons you have to fight heart disease. Many people make it harder than it is. It is important to remember that it is the overall pattern of the choices you make that counts. As you make daily food choices, read nutrition labels and base your eating pattern on these recommendations:

• Follow a healthy diet abundant in vegetables and fruit
• Choose good quality (hormone and antibiotic free) lean meats and poultry without skin and prepare them without added saturated and trans fat.
• Legumes are an excellent source of protein and fiber.
• Eliminate, or select fat-free, 1% fat, and low-fat dairy products.
• Choose healthy fats like olive oil and avocado and cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.
• Cut back on foods high in dietary cholesterol. Aim to eat less than 300 mg of cholesterol each day.
• Cut back on beverages and foods with added sugars.
• Select and purchase foods lower in salt/sodium.
• If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation. That means no more than one drink per day if you're a woman and two drinks per day if you're a man.
• Keep an eye on your portion sizes. 

For an even more in depth program for healthy eating, we highly recommend Kirk’s book, Staying Healthy in the Fast Lane.

Providing your body with the extra support it needs can go a long way in keeping your heart happy. These excellent supplements are available at Energetic Nutrition.

	Omega-3 fats like the ones found in ArcticPure Omega-3 are a critical component of any heart health plan. Omega-3 fats have been shown to reduce inflammation, raise HDL, support healthy circulation and promote heart health by thinning the blood, dilating blood vessels, and supporting healthy blood pressure. It also has components that inhibit inflammatory mediators.
	VitalzymSEB is a unique enzyme formula designed specifically to support heart health by supplying enzymes that may cleanse the blood of excess fibrin and arterial plaque.  It also lowers C-Reactive Protein levels, which is the cause of vascular inflammation.
	Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant which has been shown to safeguard LDL cholesterol from oxidation.  CoQ10 is a critical component in the primary energy cycle, and is most abundant in the heart. Deficiencies in CoQ10 strongly correlate with heart disease.
	Antioxidants like Vitamin E have been shown to help neutralize destructive free radicals and support cardiovascular health by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol and inhibiting plaque formation. Oxidized cholesterol is an unstable molecule that damages the integrity of arteries.
	A good quality multi-vitamin like Life Essence Multiple provides essential vitamins and minerals along with anti-oxidants, amino acids, and countless other co-nutrients necessary to keep your body strong and your heart whistling a happy tune.
	Estrogens play a complex role in non-reproductive tissues including the cardiovascular system. The risk of stroke and heart disease is increased dramatically when a person is estrogen dominant.  DIM is an excellent hormone balancer, particularly in an estrogen dominant body.
	Antioxidants like those included in Systemic Vitamin C can help boost immune function, while protecting our cells and DNA from free radical damage. These antioxidants can also serve as a preventative measure against many different health issues from colds and flu to more serious disorders like cardiovascular disease.

Physical activity in your daily life is an important step to preventing heart disease. Moderate exercise 3-4 times per week for at least 30 minutes is essential to support circulation, vitality, and heart health. You can take a few simple steps at home, at work, and at play to increase the amount of physical activity in your life.

Stress is a major concern when it comes to hypertension and heart health. Keep those stress hormones in check and that blood pressure down by taking time to relax, meditate, walk, take a bath, or do whatever it is you do that relaxes you.  Even if it is only for 5-10 minutes per day, it makes a difference.

You can live a heart-healthy lifestyle that contributes to your longevity. Don’t be a statistic.  For extra support, get your friends and family involved in living a healthy and energetic lifestyle.

According to an article in the New York Times titled Body’s Defender Goes on the Attack, “Scientists are coming to realize that inflammation may underlie many other common chronic diseases that come with aging, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis. Inflammation is also implicated in asthma, cirrhosis of the liver, some bowel disorders, psoriasis, meningitis, cystic fibrosis, and even cancer. 1

What is internal inflammation?

According to WebMD, inflammation can affect our internal organs, especially in cases of autoimmune disorders. This type of inflammation can cause many different symptoms, including pain; however, pain may not be a main symptom of internal inflammation due to the fact that many of our organs contain only a few pain-sensitive nerves. 2

Symptoms may depend on which organs are affected. For example:

• Inflammation of the heart (myocarditis) may cause vague chest pain or fluid retention
   
• Inflammation of the kidneys (nephritis) may cause high blood pressure or kidney failure
   
• Inflammation of the large intestine (colitis) may cause cramps and diarrhea
   
• Inflammation of the eye (iritis or uveitis) may cause pain or decreased vision
   
• Inflammation of the muscles (polymyositis) may cause achiness or weakness
   
• Inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis) may cause rash, headaches, or internal organ damage
   
• Inflammation of the small tubes that transport air to the lungs (bronchiolitis) may cause shortness of breath similar to an asthma attack

As you can see, inflammation of the organs can be responsible for many different symptoms and conditions. Therefore, getting inflammation under control can be very important for overall health and proper organ function.

There are many medications available to help decrease pain and inflammation, such as Celebrex, aspirin, and ibuprofen, but they do not come without the risks of side effects. Using systemic enzymes like those in Vitalzym can naturally help reduce pain and inflammation without the use of prescription medications or over the counter pain relievers.

Inflammation and C-Reactive Proteins

C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by the liver and is a clinical marker of general and/or cardiac-related inflammation.  When internal inflammation is present, CRP levels can rise.  According to Thomas "Tate" P. Erlinger, M.D., M.P.H., lead author of the study and an assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins,  "higher levels of C-reactive protein are linked to an increased risk of several apparently distinct, chronic diseases: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and now colon cancer." http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2004/02_10_04.html

The New York Times article continues to say “two large studies — one in men and one in women — have demonstrated that the higher a person's C-reactive protein level, the greater the risk of a heart attack or stroke.  Doctors nationwide are adding the C.R.P. test to cholesterol screening to assess people's risk of atherosclerosis. 1

CRP testing can be useful in assessing patient’s with: 3

• Heart disease
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Some forms of arthritis
• Autoimmune diseases
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

CRP can be used to screen otherwise healthy people for the following conditions. However, in these cases, the more sensitive high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein test (hsCRP) will be ordered:

• Coronary heart disease (CHD)
• Cardiovascular disease

A health care professional may test someone for elevated CRP levels to check for internal inflammation or to help determine a person’s risk for heart disease.  However, a low CRP level does not necessarily mean that inflammation is not present.  For example, those with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus (inflammatory conditions) may or may not have increased levels of CRP; the reason for this is not known.

Reducing Inflammation and CRP Naturally

A primary goal for heart attack prevention, should be to keep inflammation to a minimum, says Dr. Peter Libby, chief of cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women’s hospital, and others. 1

Research results regarding the connection between CRP, inflammation, and degenerative diseases are on the rise, which is leading many health care professionals to believe that lowering CRP levels can also help reduce internal inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic, degenerative diseases. Along with a healthy diet and exercise, systemic enzyme therapy has been shown to help reduce elevated CRP levels, inflammation, and symptoms associated with such conditions. 

We offer these systemic enzyme products that can be helpful in reducing inflammation:

	Vitalzym was formulated specifically for pain, inflammation, and systemic fibrosis of the organs and tissues. This formula is the best choice for tissue and organ inflammation, and fibrosis conditions.
	VitalzymSEB is a formula that was created with the cardiovascular system in mind. It contains an enzyme called nattokinase in combination with other "heart healthy" enzymes that have been shown to reduce the levels of CRP and vascular inflammation, which may lead to heart disease if left unchecked, as mentioned above.
