MI Paste is the only product for professional use containing the active ingredient RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP), a special milk-derived phosphopeptide that binds calcium and phosphate to tooth surfaces, plaque and surrounding soft tissue. MI Paste is a water-based, sugar-free créme that is applied directly to the tooth surface or oral cavity. MI Paste with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) restores the oral mineral imbalances that cause demineralization by replacing minerals while improving saliva flow and fluoride uptake as well as soothing sensitive surfaces - making it an ideal treatment for:

• Reversing tooth sensitivity and restoring enamel gloss after whitening procedures
• Relieving dry mouth caused by certain medications
• Reducing high oral acid levels from excessive soft drink consumption
• Reversing tooth sensitivity before and after professional cleaning
• Reducing high oral acid levels - sometimes a consequence of pregnancy
• Buffering acids produced by bacteria and plaque
• Regular conditioning during orthodontics, during and after bands or brackets have been removed, to prevent and reverse white spot lesions
• Providing a topical coating for patients suffering from erosion, caries and conditions arising from xerostomia

Use MI Paste™

• After tooth whitening
• For pregnant women
• For children six years and under
• During and/or after orthodontics
• For desensitizing
• To provide extra protection for teeth

MI Paste is pleasant tasting, and can be applied directly with a clean finger onto the teeth, smeared over all surfaces and left in place to slowly dissolve overnight. Any material that is swallowed is completely safe, and will contribute towards dietary calcium.

The Science behind MI Paste:

MI Paste releases RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) which adheres to soft tissue, plaque, pellicle and hydroxyapatite delivering amorphous calcium and phosphate into the saliva and plaque fluid. The mechanism of action is similar to that of the salivary protein statherin and the supply of bioavailable calcium and phosphate is able to drive remineralization, buffer acid and reduce the plaque acid effect on tooth structure. An analysis of the chemistry of demineralization and remineralization indicates that a major source of mineral oss in the caries process is the destruction of apatite with the creation of water as a by-product, and the leakage of a neutral species calcium hydrogen phosphate across a porous enamel surface.

When placed on the surface of a tooth, RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) interacts with hydrogen ions and forms the same species calcium hydrogen phosphate which, under a diffusion gradient, can enter into the tooth, react with and
consume the water to produce enamel mineral, thereby removing subsurface mineral defects.

MI Paste treatment of enamel subsurface caries has been shown to cause rapid remineralization, and this causes a change in the appearance of the lesions. Any incipient white spot lesions which are developing because of cariogenic plaque can be treated locally with RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) to achieve subsurface remineralization. This will occur in fairly short periods of time – in the order of two to four weeks.
A key principle with RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) is that the longer the material is maintained in the mouth, the more effective the result. MI Paste, which is the recommended homecare form of the product, contains 10% of the RecaldentTM (CPP-ACP) molecule by weight.

Wintertime sunlight levels are much lower than they are in the summer months even if it is warmer than usual this year. A useful vitamin is generated with exposure to sun or by taking dietary supplements called Vitamin D. vitamin D is helpful in bone issues like bone pain and weak bones. Vitamin D also used for heart conditions and the circulatory system. It helps in regulating calcium so you could see why it's so critical to our diet.

Exposure to the sun should be two to three times a week for at least an hour depending on age, skin type, season, time of day. Season and time of day affect your exposure amount. Winter time means less sun strength. You would think we all get enough exposure to the sun but it's been found to not be the case. If you find you need supplements there are a few choices available. You certainly have the choice between sun and supplements with Vitamin D.

Some dietary supplement choices available include Panaca Scientific's Vit D2 liquid 10,000 IU and  Vitamin D3 by NuPathways

With the winter approaching it always seems like it’s the doorman for colds and flu.  Colds are caused by thousands of different viruses whereas the flu, or influenza, is caused by a strain of virus.  This is why there is no known treatment to cure the cold, nor the flu.  In the case of the flu shots a virus strain is being guessed at and introduced at a low level to build immunity that is to stop it before it takes hold, instead of trying to treat it after infection.  If it's a different strain the shot will make no difference.

Many times physicians will prescribe antibiotics for ‘curing’ a cold virus when it has no effect at all on a virus.  Typically bacterial secondary infections happen, such as upper respiratory infection which can be treated with antibiotics but it’s not treating the virus, just the bacteria.   Usually the one-two punch of both can seriously sicken or kill a human so it’s nothing to ignore.  That’s where rest is critical for survival vs. taking a pill to quicken the relief.

The best way to treat a cold or the flu is not to get it in the first place.  Building a strong immune system is key. This is where building up and maintaining one’s immunity is the step to less sickness.  This is not just a matter of taking a handful of supplements and skipping rest, exercise and eating right:  It’s a complete life change.

One of the most effective immune boosters and preventer of colds is raw garlic  (Josling P. Preventing the common cold with a garlic supplement: a double-blind, placebo-controlled survey. Adv Ther. 2001;18:189-93) and not because it makes everyone stay away from you.

This time of year seems to always give pause to reflection on the past year and plans for the next year.  Why not think about taking the next big step in your life?    For those of you that have help someone you know, not be criticizing but encouraging a healthier lifestyle.  If you nag someone they will think that’s what happens when you’re healthy.  ;)

Sandy Polentes is the founder of Bausc, Inc. She launched her business to help spread awareness about the toxicity in personal care products. The majority of these products contain harmful ingredients that unsuspecting consumers are using on a daily basis. These carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and allergens are absorbed by the skin and enter directly into the bloodstream.

Her inspiration to develop non-toxic products was brought on by her own devastating health problems.  Totally incapacitated, she was physically unable to care for her young children.  Desperate to find a cause she went to a broad range of well  respected physicians. None, not even specialists, were able to offer her any hope of recovery.

By fortunate coincidence, she met an integrative doctor who introduced her to a new paradigm.  He showed her how humans are exposed to  many toxic chemicals every day…not just food, water, and air but cleaning products, air fresheners, fire retardants/PBDEs (in the mattresses, computers,pajamas, interiors of airplanes and movie theaters are drenched with them), plastics, paints, glues, carpets, personal care products, prescription and over the counter  drugs, dental materials, lawn care, food packaging…and  much more. She had been going through life and never once noticed or even  gave a thought to  her daily exposure to  toxic chemicals.  She didn't know that she didn't know. A major part of her path to healing was to detoxify her body while eliminating the harmful chemicals that were part of her daily routine.  She learned that exposure to chemicals is cumulative, long lasting and may take years to reveal itself. She realized if she simply replaced toxic products with non-toxic alternatives it would lighten her body’s  burden  and allow healing.  She has experienced first hand that our bodies have the power to forgive, repair and rebound once healthy steps are taken. Bausc was created to offer women and their families’ SAFE , beautiful ,and fun products that smell delicious!  These are not your grandmother’s natural products!!

Bausc is committed to helping consumers reduce their toxic load by providing safe and luxurious alternatives to every day skin care products. They use ingredients that do not harm the body.  Bausc's suppliers certify their plant based oils are made without GMOs; and Bausc's manufacturing facilities are completely free of gluten.   As you begin using their skin care products, you will notice many significant changes.

Lines will appear less noticeable and your skin will appear less fatigued. Start today and enjoy beautiful, brighter, healthier skin! Visit the products!

Neem, still called "the village pharmacy","Sacred Tree," "Heal All," and "Nature's Drugstore," in its native India, is one of the most ancient and widely used herbs in the world. In fact, herbalists in ancient India had documented the healing qualities of this  tree long before Western civilization discovered the analgesic qualities of the willow tree from which aspirin is derived. Indian scientists were the first to bring the plant to the attention of phytopharmacologists. In 1942, while working at the Scientific and Industrial Research Laboratory at Delhi University, British India, three bitter compounds were extracted from neem oil, which were named nimbin, nimbinin, and nimbidin.  The seeds contain a complex secondary metabolite azadirachtin.

Its old connection is by Ayurveda, traditional indian medicine. Neem juice is associated with Gudi Padva to remind people to use it during that particular month or season to pacify summer pitta.

Neem Tree Farms has introduced a line of Neem bark extract personal care products so you can benefit from the herb.

In a recent article in Food Safety News they purchased more than 60 containers of honey and had them analyzed by one of the nation’s best melissopalynologists (the study of pollen contained in honey and, in particular, the pollen's source, Vaughn Bryant, a professor at Texas A&M University.

Among the findings were

• - 76 percent of samples bought at groceries had all the pollen removed, These were stores like TOP Food, Safeway, Giant Eagle, QFC, Kroger, Metro Market, Harris Teeter, A&P, Stop & Shop and King Soopers.
• - 100 percent of the honey sampled from drugstores like Walgreens, Rite-Aid and CVS Pharmacy had no pollen.
• - 77 percent of the honey sampled from big box stores like Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, Target and H-E-B had the pollen filtered out.
• - 100 percent of the honey packaged in the small individual service portions from Smucker, McDonald's and KFC had the pollen removed.
• - Bryant found that every one of the samples Food Safety News bought at farmers markets, co-ops and "natural" stores like PCC and Trader Joe's had the full, anticipated, amount of pollen.
• - And if you have to buy at major grocery chains, the analysis found that your odds are somewhat better of getting honey that wasn't ultra-filtered if you buy brands labeled as organic. Out of seven samples tested, five (71 percent) were heavy with pollen. All of the organic honey was produced in Brazil, according to the labels.

The results show that the pollen frequently has been filtered out of products labeled "honey."

The removal of these microscopic particles from deep within a flower would make the nectar flunk the quality standards set by most of the world's food safety agencies.

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration says that any product that's been ultra-filtered and no longer contains pollen isn't honey. However, the FDA isn't checking honey sold here to see if it contains pollen.  Read more about the study, and previous studies at (http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/11/tests-show-most-store-honey-isnt-honey/)

Diet strongly affects human health according to studies published in Science Magazine, partly by modulating gut flora microbe composition based on several studies conclusions. Abnormal bacterial communities have been identified in several human diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases, colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Three distinct microbiomes were identified, which had characteristic signature organisms:

• A Bacteroides-dominated community was associated with people who ate animal protein and saturated fats,
• Ruminococcus tended to be linked with alcohol intake and polyunsaturated fat consumption,
• Prevotella was found in people who enjoyed a carbohydrate based diet.

A controlled-feeding study of 10 subjects showed that microbiome composition changed detectably within 24 hours of initiating a high-fat/low-fiber or low-fat/high-fiber diet, but that enterotype identity remained stable during the 10-day study. Thus, alternative enterotype states are associated with long-term diet.  You Are What You Eat (SCIENCE VOL 334 7 OCTOBER 2011)  http://www.sciencemag.org/content/334/6052/105.abstract

Probiotic Pearls help your body achieve a balance of healthy bacteria to boost its natural defense capabilities and long term colon health.

Nature is your best source of nutrition. However, it is now scientifically and medically recognized that even high quality and balanced diets can benefit from targeted nutritional supplements. Augmenting a healthy diet with supplements may provide the best possible opportunity to enjoy optimal health and lower the risk of disease development.
Start with these key nutritional supplements:

Vitamin D
Magnesium
Omega 3 fish oil
Vitamin C
Probiotics
Chlorella

VITAMINS & MINERALS
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is naturally present in very few foods but can be generated from direct sun exposure, which most people don't get enough of- 3 out of 4 Americans are Vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus levels which are vital for bone growth and health, promotes a healthy immune system and is effective in preventing tumor growth.

Magnesium: Magnesium maintains a healthy immune system, normal muscle and nerve function, keeps bones strong, helps regulate blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. It may also help prevent and manage hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

OMEGA FATTY ACIDS
Omega-3 Fish Oil: A pure, healthy fish oil supplement rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids is vital in maintaining healthy arteries, reducing risk of heart attack, abnormal heart rhythms, and strokes in people with known heart disease.

ANTIOXIDANTS
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient involved in a range of key metabolic reactions including bone, cartilage, muscle and blood vessel formation. It aids in iron absorption and in extreme environments can protect against the common cold. However, excessive levels can cause numerous health problems.

DIGESTIVE SUPPLEMENTS
Probiotics: Probiotics-"friendly bacteria"- found in foods like yogurt, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, improve immune function, relieve symptoms of IBS and diarrhea, and protect against colon cancer.
DETOXIFYING SUPPLEMENTS
Chlorella: This single-celled fresh water algae is a source of high-grade protein, chlorophyll A & B, 5 Minerals, 12 Vitamins and 19 Amino Acids. Chlorella is a valuable supplement removing heavy metals from the body and relieving pain and hypertension associated with chronic health problems.

4 Tips for starting a new vitamin routine:

As with anything, too much of good thing is harmful for your body. Here are few things to keep in mind when you begin a new nutritional supplement:
1. Take a variety of products and supplements to avoid unnecessary allergic reactions.
2. Take vitamin holidays. As with your diet, it's best to have variety in your routine. To avoid overuse, take a few days or weeks off now and then.
3. Strive for optimal nutrition. You need good nutrition from you diet even if you take supplements.
4. Buy quality products. You get what you pay for: not all supplements are created equal.

1.    Stay away from tick infested are such as wooded areas, leaf piles, underbrush and the unmowed edges of yards, parks, playgrounds, golf courses, soccer fields etc. where field mice, and therefore ticks, are most likely to be hiding. Do not sit on woodpiles or logs. Walk in the middle of trails.
2.    Remove yard waste, wood piles, old leaves, underbrush and plants that attract deer or mice. Keep brush and bushes away from house and edge of grass. Keep grass mowed.
3.    Wear light colored clothing to see ticks more easily. Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants and socks and tuck pants into socks to avoid having ticks crawl up your pants.
4.    May use insect repellent that contains DEET. Ask your doctor before using anything with DEET on children.
5.    Inspect pets as they can carry ticks into the house. Talk to the veterinarian about monthly flea and tick repellent. Keep pets off the furniture and bed.
6.    CHECK YOURSELF and CHILDREN for ticks after being outside in possible tick infested areas. Deer ticks are tiny, about the size of a pinhead, and may be hard to see. The best thing to do is strip off clothing immediately upon entering the house and do a complete body check. Wash clothes or place in a sealed trash bag to launder later. Do not leave clothing on the floor.
7.    If a tick is found, remove it properly. Wipe the area with alcohol before removing. Use tweezers and grab the tick as close to the skin as possible, and pull straight out. Do not use a match or irritate the rest of the tick’s body. Save the tick in a container or plastic bag and call your doctor immediately. Ticks can be tested for Lyme disease and co-infections that they may carry.

Awareness of Lyme disease and prevention of tick bites is the first step in reducing the incidence of Lyme infection. More information on an integrative medicine approach to Lyme disease can be found at National Integrated Health Associates (NIHA) website, http://www.nihadc.com/health-programs/lyme-disease.html

Lyme disease is transmitted by a tick bite and can be a debilitating disease if untreated. Often tick bites go undetected, or symptoms are mistaken for flu or other common illnesses. Symptoms can range from fevers, chills, headaches, fatigue, and rash in the early stages to joint pain, muscle pain, heart problems, memory loss, eye problems, and neurological symptoms in the later stages. Lyme can be difficult to diagnose but early treatment is important. Therefore, a doctor should always be consulted if a tick is found on the body (remove and save the tick) or if one has any flu-like or rash symptoms, especially in the spring or early summer when most cases are transmitted. However, ticks can bite and transmit Lyme disease and insect-borne illness any time the weather is mild, and less than 50% of those infected ever see a tick bite or bulls-eye rash. Early treatment with antibiotics may be started before blood tests can confirm Lyme disease or symptoms develop.

Gum disease is most often caused by germs that cause your white blood cell body guards to invade your periodontal tissues. Brushing and flossing is important, but periodontal germs and plaque is often missed by even expert flossers and brushers. Dr. leonard Horowitz America’s leading dental self-care expert original formula liquid dentist never misses. Dr. Horowitz co-formulated LIQUID DENTIST to help re-calcify, re-mineralize, and re-harden tooth structures that have not been drilled away or lost due to old decay and tooth fractures. PLUS, this "LD528" formula kills periodontal pathogens and leaves your breath fresh and teeth feeling professionally.  This Silver-oxygenating remineralizing liquid flows where brush and floss can’t get. it helps disinfect beneath your gums and on root surfaces to arrest gum inflammation that leads to periodontal disease. Simply syringing or irrigating with liquid dentist can even HELP stop gum disease in “deep pockets.”

liquid dentist works simply, naturally, and effectively by sending liquid MICRO-SILVER AND oxygen deep within your teeth and gums. This amazing liquid energetically zaps the varmints that cause these diseases. The refreshing liquid then helps repair your teeth and gums most naturally.

when using liquid dentist to reverse tooth decay, Avoid sweets that feed decay-producing germs. This helps liquid dentist USE ITS electrically-active SiLVER and oxygen TO electrocute the microbes menacing your teeth. Then, their dead bodies remain within your tooth surrounded by the tooth’s original protein fibers. The dead microbes and healthy filaments that dentists always drill away can actually help repair your teeth naturally. The protein filaments act like construction rebar--iron rods used to strengthen cement buildings. the germ bodies act like little stones in cement that increase strength in the cured filler. So when liquid dentist flows minerals, including calcium and phosphate naturally into teeth, into each area of tooth decay prepared by the silver & oxygen, this “one two punch” can help new tooth structure form even harder, and more decay resistant, than your original tooth (according to published scientific studies). BUT YOU MUST STAY AWAY FROM SUGAR (REFINED CARBOHYDRATES) IF YOU WANT TO REVERSE DEEP DECAY.

HOW TO USE LIQUID DENTIST SO YOU END DRILLING, FILLING & BILLING! (Provided by Liquid Dentist)

• Begin by starving decay-causing bacteria by eliminating sugars (refined carbohydrates) from your diet.

• Mechanically clean your teeth well. That is, brush and floss your teeth thoroughly. Make sure you floss correctly. That is, do not “saw” your teeth with the floss, but plane the interproximal surfaces of your teeth using an "up-and-down" motion, not back-and-forth. This will get the most plaque off your teeth.
• Next, for any large or deep cavities, or periodontal pockets, use a rubber pick (gum stimulator), tooth pick, or proxy brush, to clean out these areas as best you can.
• Stick the bristles of your toothbrush into LIQUID DENTIST and then brush every side of every tooth with it. Re-wet your brush bristles as needed to feel most comfortable and enjoy the pleasant minty taste of this liquid.
• Irrigate deep periodontal pockets using LIQUID DENTIST diluted 50% with water, or use a blunt-ended syringe to flush infected periodontal pockets with this product. Finally, rinse your mouth thoroughly by swishing LIQUID DENTIST around your mouth for 1 to 3 minutes.
• Then swallow to make the best use of this health enhancing all natural product.
• Now, . . . take the tip of your tongue and feel how clean and smooth your teeth feel. You should experience the cleanest teeth you have ever felt in your life. Keep them that way by doing the same thing just once, or at most twice, a day. It is not necessary to do this after every meal as dentists commonly recommend.

Questions & Answers

Q: I have 2 root canaled teeth that have broken off. Is there any hope for regenerating those teeth, or otherwise healing/repairing them in a low-cost and natural way?

A: LIQUID DENTIST is best used to prevent this situation. Once the main connective tissue protein fibers in the structure of a tooth is drilled away, or broken down from severe decay, the missing pieces cannot be regenerated reliably using LIQUID DENTIST.

For this situation you need either: 1) a LIVING DENTIST who is affordable, sensitive to your needs, and technically skilled; or 2) to keep the broken tooth VERY clean using mechanical aids, including brushes and picks, plus avoiding refined carbohydrates to reduce the risk of additional decay. Add to this tooth hygiene and good nutrition additional immune system boosting from products like LOVEMinerals, PrimoLife, ZeoLife, and LIQUID DENTIST when swallowed, and you may be able to forestall further tooth, bone, and periodontal destruction.

Q: How about other decay that seems to be pointing to "a root canal is necessary"?

A: This is a GREAT question. But “pointing” to a root canal, and a “necessary” root canal, are two different things. “Pointing” implies the nerve is still alive (i.e., a “vital” tooth remains). If this is the case, LIQUID DENTIST, along with the complete avoidance of foods containing decay-promoting processed sugars, will cause the decay to “arrest” or stop. Then, you may be able to restore the tooth very nicely (depending on how much of the tooth structure remains viable for remineralization using LIQUID DENTIST daily rinses.)

Remember, tooth restoration using LIQUID DENTIST always depends on: 1) the good vitality of the nerve; 2) the sugar-starving and oxygen killing of decay producing (acid forming) germs IN the tooth; and 3) the presence of dental connective tissue fibers that act like rebar (for structural support) forming the tooth’s protein matrix into which calcium, phosphate, and other natural hardening elements (that form the hard “hydroxyapatite” tooth structure) become absorbed.

Q: I have a lot of bone loss in certain parts of my mouth, and I'm wondering whether the Liquid Dentist might somehow help in regenerating bone along with gum tissue and teeth?

A: LIQUID DENTIST is not used to regenerate bone or gum tissues that have receded down the roots of teeth due to periodontal disease. LIQUID DENTIST will arrest tooth decay and gum disease when coupled with proper self-care that includes avoiding the sweets (as mentioned above) AND, for gum disease, good mechanical cleaning daily using brushes, floss, and pics when necessary.

Q: Do you have any actual clinical evidence of this product regenerating teeth, bone, or gum?

A: LIQUID DENTIST is not able to regenerate hard and soft periodontal tissues that resulted from chronic periodontitis producing receding gums.  There is substantial clinical evidence proving the combination of medical ozone, followed by mineral mouth rinsing, “regenerates” tooth structure. LIQUID DENTIST was formulated based on these readily available published studies.

Q: Is swallowing LIQUID DENTIST important for regenerating teeth?

A: Swallowing LIQUID DENTIST may have a beneficial impact systemically in preventing bone bone loss and gum recession from periodontal disease. The reason for this is simple--LIQUID DENTIST contains a remarkable combination of immune boosting monoatomic and diatomic minerals besides a high concentration of safe nano-silver that will kill germs and retard periodontal degeneration. Swallowing LIQUID DENTIST is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for its beneficial affects on total body health. If you are using LIQUID DENTIST this way, there is probably no need for you to use OxySilver, because you are getting plenty of micro-silver antimicrobial impact with LIQUID DENTIST alone when swallowed.

We have recently introduced some new products from Quicksilver Scientific.  Quicksilver Scientific was founded in Lafayette, Colorado, by Dr. Christopher Shade in October 2005. Dr. Shade developed the patented Liquid Chromatographic Mercury Speciation technology used at Quicksilver Scientific, while conducting his Ph.D. dissertation work with advisor Robert Hudson at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Shade has studied mercury dextofication as well as many other toxins that collect in the body as a result of mercury.  Dr.Shade has actively discussed the effects of mercury and the changes it causes in one's stomach as the mercury resistant flora survive and other good bacteria die.  included below are two videos dicussing his views on health.

IMD

Quicksilver Scientific has developed a sophisticated detoxification system based on enhancing the natural removal of metals through the intestines using a proprietary compound, IMD (Intestinal Metals Detox). 

The Intestinal Metals Detox (IMD) is a proprietary product that consists of highly purified silica carrier with covalently
attached metal-binding groups. The product is insoluble and functions to bind heavy metals in the gut so that they can be
safely eliminated with the bowels; this prevents both absorption of the heavy metals and the generation of free-radicals
catalyzed by the metals. In fact, the product can also directly neutralized free-radicals in the gut and thus may play a role
in damping gastrointestinal inflammation. Both the silica base and the binding agent are GRAS (generally recognized as
safe) for use in food, but since the binding agent is firmly attached to the insoluble silica, it is not absorbed and thus not
bioavailable. The product contains no known allergens and no allergic reactions have been reported to date.

Ingredients: Proprietary formula: Base of highly purified silica with covalently bonded elements. Does not contain any known allergens or fillers.

Clear Way Cofactors

Phytonutrient Antioxidant Blend

75 caps (25 day supply)

ClearWay Cofactors is a proprietary mixture of high-potency polyphenolic antioxidant phytonutrients, R-Lipoid Acid, Kelp, and B Vitamins designed to support the body's natural antioxidant and detoxification systems.

Vitamin B1    100 mg

Vitamin B6   125 mg

Vitamin B5   100 mg

Proprietary Blend: Haritaki (Terminalla chebula) extract, Dandelion root extract, R-Lipoic Acid, Pine bark extract, Gotu Kola extract, Bacopa monniera extract, Bladderwrack extract, Nattokinase (20,000 fu/gm), Quercetin dehydrate. 1305 mg

The key to flu and virus protection lays in a healthy immune system. Let us examine common sense steps in the dance of a lifestyle that promotes health and prevents infection:

What You Eat and drink

• Did you know that eating sugar suppresses your immune system for up to 7 hours afterwards? Avoid sugars. Starchy processed foods convert into sugars as soon as they hit the stomach.
• In a more alkaline condition our bodies have the strongest “charge” or life force. In an acidic condition, the bacteria and viruses can grow very quickly. Sugar, starches and meat contribute to an acidic environment.
Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, sprouts, nuts and seeds instead.
Alkaline grains include millet, quinoa, and buckwheat. Coffee, juices, colas and other sodas are very acidic on the ph scale. Drinking plenty of fluids, like warm teas and fresh, pure water will help flush out your system and keep it clean. Start your day with a glass of water with the juice of a lemon or a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to help alkalize your system.
• Include fresh garlic into your diet on a daily basis. It is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-parasitical and anti-fungal. Put it through your juicer or VitaMix. The only other form of receiving the benefit of the active ingredient allicin is taking freeze dried garlic capsules (listed below). Every other form of garlic pills are virtually worthless, because the beneficial allicin gets destroyed within one hour.

80% of the Immune System lives in the Intestinal Track!

• Scientific research shows that 80% of your immune system actually lives right in your digestive tract. Optimizing intestinal health includes proper nutrition. But it also means to simply add more beneficial bacteria. A new study published in Pediatrics shows that a daily supplementation of probiotic may reduce the incidence of cold and flu-like symptoms in children by 50 percent!
• Avoid constipation. Again, dietary measures like plenty of fiber are key. Colon cleansing, including regular colonics throughout the season has been proven to be a very beneficial practice. You might consider an oxygen/magnesium product (see list of recommended products below) to keep regular.When you feel like you are coming down with the flu do a home enema as soon, as possible. Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to quickly alkalize your blood.

Get Plenty of Sleep, Manage Stress

• A good night’s sleep strengthens your adrenals. Strong adrenals are essential for creating the energy to run your body each day and to fight an infection.
• 20 to 30 minute naps are good for you.
• Relaxing on weekends will certainly aid in balancing the stress scale, but it is actually the small, daily acts of self-care that are most beneficial to keep your immunity up throughout the season.

Hand and Respiratory Hygiene

• Frequent hand-washing is one of the best precautions we can take against communicable disease. Don’t waste your money on antimicrobial soaps - they simply don’t work on viruses like the cold or the flu. In fact, the Environmental Work Group reports the ingredients in Purell may be potential causes for endocrine disruption, allergies, immunotoxicity and skin, eye or lung irritations. Simple use a nice soap from a health-food store instead.
• A Neti Pot (see product list below) is an ancient therapy that works as a preventive measure by flushing out germs, dirt and allergens of your nasal passages. If you are actively sick use the Neti Pot or a pre-mixed Saline Rinse kit more frequently during the day. It will assist thinning mucus and help flush it out of the nasal passage. Add some sea salt and possibly a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil or tea tree oil into the Neti Pot water.

Exercise

• Exercise to increase circulation and blood flow. All the different components of the immune system will be better circulated. Your blood will be oxygenized, and your lymphatic system mobilized. This is a key ingredient to helping your immune system to efficiently act upon pathogens. Consider investing into a good mini trampoline ( the Lymphecyser or the Cellulizer).

Fresh Air

• A regular dose of fresh air is important, especially in cold weather when central heating dries you out and makes your body more vulnerable to cold and flu viruses. Also, during cold weather more people stay indoors, which means more germs are circulating in crowded, dry rooms. Sleep with your window open. Air out the house several times a day. Go for walks. Exercise outside.

Vitamin D levels

• Optimize Vitamin D levels! This is one of the absolute best strategies of avoiding infections. Vitamin D deficiency is a major culprit behind catching the seasonal flu/low immunity. We STRONGLY urge you to have your vitamin D levels monitored to confirm your levels are therapeutic at 50-70 ng.ml. The ONLY way to know your dose is to test your blood, and this should be done before winter. You might need 4-5 times the amount recommended, but your doctor can recommend the dosage once your levels are tested. This is one of the single most important and least expensive action steps you can take to begin the season.

List of Recommended Products for Prevention
For acute infection the doses change and additional supplements are recommended. See a medical professional.

• Fish oils: EPA and DHA will hinder the replication of the virus
2grams /day
• Transfer Factor Plus: increases natural killer cells and other immune factors: 1/ day
• Freeze Dried Garlic:
3-5 caps opened into water 2 times a day
• Vitamin C: Ascorbic acid, 500mg 2x/day
• Vitamin A from Fish oil. 25 000 IU/day, for acute treatment consult with one of our medical professionals.
• Host Defense MyCommunity: A synergistically combined mushroom product that makes a super potent immune modifier. Take 2 capsules/day
• LimuPlex: Colostrum that contains a complex of immune factors and Fucoidan from a sea vegetable that is a powerful immune enhancer. 1 pack/day
• Probiotic: Beta Glucan
• Netipot or Saline Rinse Kit
• Home Enema Kit
• OxiMega to move and/or cleanse your intestines.

An NPR program, Science Friday recently had John Cryan, from the University College, Cork talking about his recent paper on probotics.

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science compared two groups of mice, one fed with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, a probotic, and the second group were fed a diet not spiked with the microbes.

The researchers then tested the mice for confidence and lack of anxiety and found the ones taking the probotics were happier than the ones without.  When Dr. Bravo cut the animal’s vagus nerves, used for transmitting signals between gut and brain the effects vanished between the two groups.  Another interesting fact mentioned was this effect varies between strains of probotics and one should not read too much into Lactobacillus rhamnosus as the ‘feel good miracle microbe’

Probiotic Bacteria Chill Out Anxious Mice: Changes in the gut alter brain chemistry and behavior in mice, according to a new study. (first broadcast Friday, September 2, 2011)

Natural health care practitioner and master herbalist Byron White developed these preparations selecting for their synergetic properties. These formulas are herbal extracts (1:1) using purified grape alcohol. The herbs along with their synergistic energetics have been specifically selected for use with Chronic Lyme disease and the chronic fatigue-like illnesses. According to Dr. Wayne Anderson, "The formulas are designed to work energetically and herbally. Dr. White has created a fundamentally different approach to the treatment of microorganisms. He has found, through specific blends of herbs, combined with the principles of physics, a way to neutralize the energetics of pathogens. Each formula targets a specific pathogen, weakens it, disorganizing its ability to function and reproduce. This works through the immune system, identifying the threat, herbally neutralizing it and helping to eliminate it from the body. The energetic components of the formulas can reach any place in the body, unlike other forms of treatment."

Four Therapeutic Properties of the BWF

The BWF work on multiple levels simultaneously. Their therapeutic actions can be divided into the three categories: Provoking (primary and secondary), Regulatory and Regenerative.

They are powerful and specific. When used against the appropriate microorganism the patient can experience significant therapeutic effect from a small dose.

The formula's Provoking Action refers to the specific activation of the immune system against one or more microorganisms. This agent will help the immune system recognize the threat, disorganize it, and not allowing it to reproduce. As it is broken into pieces the cell has the improved ability to move them out. The formula assists in the unloading of the pathogen from the cell. The same formula will act on a less specific way on other pathogens. These less significant immune responses will be listed in the Secondary Action section.

The Regulatory Mechanisms of the formulas help the homeostatic mechanisms of the cell reestablish themselves. The immune, endocrine, gastrointestinal and nervous systems are balanced as the functions of the cells are reinstated. The

Regenerative Properties of the formulas are necessary for further rehabilitation. The rebuilding of cells leads to individual organ revival, which rejuvenates to the bodies organ systems. BWF provides the cells with accessible nutrients and cell communicators to promote anabolic function. The formulas promote the removal of stored toxins further improving healing.

Samento, also known as Cat’s claw, Spanish, Uña de Gato,  botanically known as   grows in central and south America within the jungle environment.  Cat’s claw gets its name from the hooks on the long reaching vine that grow in the rain forests of those regions.  It has been used for thousands of years as an anti-inflammatory in the intestinal tract and diarrhea. The roots and bark are used in a number of different forms including extracts, powders and infusion.  Homeopathic remedy uses of cat's claw include treatments for Crohn's disease, gastric ulcers and tumors, parasites, colitis, gastritis, diverticulitis, and leaky bowel syndrome among many reported attributes. It’s also considered an immunity booster, immune modulator and may demonstrate anti-hypertensive elements helping in controlling strokes and heart attacks. Of great interest to sufferers of Lyme disease is the ability to fight infection caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi, Bb pathogen and its relatives. 

Minor genetic variations called Chemotypes of Uncaria tomentosa, containing Pentacyclic Alkaloid Chemotype, can have positive effects or neutral effects.  If it contains  tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that act upon the central nervous system it can greatly inhibit the positive effect of the pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs).  It is possible to cultivate the species to include the desirable traits which is what you should see on the label, 100% free of tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids, (TOAs).

Some of the supplements that include Samento are:

PC-Samento which is in a liquid form and 100% free of TOA

Samento Liquid Extract from NutraMedix also is TOA free , contains alcohol

It is highly recommended to consult with your healthcare practitioner.

Cilantro or Coriander (it’s botanical name is, Coriandrum sativum ) is an herb/spice with many culinary tastes and unknown to many, a medical herb too.  What makes it so unique in the culinary world is it’s two flavors, one for the coriander leaves, better known as ‘Cilantro’ and a completely different taste from the seeds of coriander which is considered a spice.  Western Europeans tend to have a negative response to the taste and smell of Cilantro leaves, at least until they get used to the flavor.  It’s used extensively in Latin American cuisine and its use has exploded in the United States in Salsas in the last 20 years.  Coriander seeds are used more in Indian cuisines and have a more citrus flavor. It’s one of the spices in garam masala (non-Indians would call this ‘curry’ powder)

 Sometimes Cilantro is confused with Culantro, Eryngium antihystericum,  which to me is even stronger smelling. It’s used more in Caribbean cooking and does not look anything like Cilantro. The first time I saw it was as a grower at a plant nursery.  I must admit we all thought it was Cilantro because of the smell but the Puerto Rican workers said no it’s something else although the word was not familiar.  No matter it does taste good when used by the right cooks.   Food of the Caribbean is wonderful.

As an herbalist, it’s interesting to note the medicinal uses of coriander/cilantro.  The coriander leaves, according to the USDA  contains about 4 grams of carbs, 3 grams dietary fiber, 2 grams protein and 27 mg of Vitamin C.   Additionally the seeds and leaves have been identified with containing antioxidants.  Traditionally it’s been used as a digestive aid and anti-flatulent.  There are many other uses in integrated medicine including metal detox, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, anorexia, conjunctivitis, skin issues, diarrhea, digestion, colic, vomiting, griping, hemorrhoids, preventive infection, neuralgia, Lyme, HIV, Cancer, sore throat, antibilious/inflammatory/spasmodic, urinary tract, alterative, aphrodisiac, carminative, aromatic, diaphoretic, diuretic, stimulant, stomachic and tonic.

Cilantro (the leaves of coriander) is offered in liquid form by three companies

Cilantro (1 oz) by Dragon River Herbals

Cilantro (Organic) (30 mL/1 oz) liquid tincture by BioPure

Magnesium is an essential mineral providing support for bones, immunity, and many other biochemical reactions. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels and can help manage diabetes.   We typically absorb Magnesium when we eat dark-green leafy vegetables, whole grains and legumes like peanuts, peas or beans.  Where we don’t get Magnesium is in refined grains like what’s found in white flour and white bread. 

Why this is all important is studies have shown (1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) many adults in the United States were not getting the proper amounts of Magnesium.  With enriched white flour products everywhere, we are robbed of proper nutrition one would expect from eating grain.  Other issues that affect one’s absorbing Magnesium are the health of the digestive tract and kidneys.  Diseases such as Crohn’s disease can restrict the body absorbing nutrients such as Magnesium.

According to the Institute of Medicine. Food and Nutrition Board. Dietary Reference Intakes: Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Fluoride. (National Academy Press. Washington, DC, 1999) an adult male recommended dietary dose is 400 mg/day at age 19-30 with 30+ recommended dose at 420 mg/day and females in the 310 mg/day  age 19-30 and increasing after 30 to 320 mg/day.  You can see with the recommended levels as we grow older we need more Magnesium.  That's a whole bunch of bananas! As with any information you should always consult with your practitioner first as to what is best for you.

As suggested before there are many sources of Magnesium but when levels are low you may need to take a supplement like M/M Miraculous Magnesium which helps boast the body’s level of magnesium.  The advantage to M/M Miraculous Magnesium is it’s in liquid form which can be absorbed much faster than capsule based supplements.

Taking too much Magnesium can result in cramping and diarrhea which can happen when using large amounts of Magnesium based antacids or laxatives.  Always consult with your healthcare provider.

Garlic is a bulb from the botanical Lily family and has been used by humans for thousands of years.  The family of Allium includes onions, shallots, leeks, Rakkyo, and chives of which garlic is included.  It provides many benefits besides the Mediterranean food table.  Originating in Asia, garlic has been used for medicinal purposes including externally as an antibacterial and internally for aliments with fungal infections in the lungs.

Garlic has so many folk based cures it can be hard to sort out its benefits but if you like garlic it can be a great opportunity to have something healthy for you.  Without question garlic has an excellent vitamin and mineral profile.  In fact for a time raw garlic was used to provide vitamin C for scurvy.  Also high in Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Vitamin B, Iron, Zinc, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Manganese and a few grams of protein for an amazing collection of nutrition in one small package. If you have ever seen a garlic plant in bloom it’s easy to imagine the vigor continued within the raw dormant bulbs.  Raw garlic, especially aged, can have a powerful antioxidant effect  too.

 As with all good things eating too much garlic can tip the scale and lead to ingestion or nausea.  Always consult your health practitioner if you’re planning to live on it or you’re just unsure.  Some people are allergic to garlic and other food items from the Lily family like onions, ginger and bananas.  If you feel effects by eating raw garlic than it would be highly recommended to seek counsel before taking a supplement.

Some of the best ways of enjoying garlic is preparing it raw.  Fresh Gazpacho with raw garlic is heavenly and healthy too.  Raw garlic is great in salads too.  It is stronger in flavor so you may want to experiment with the best quantity.  It does grow on you with its bright flavors.  If your pressed for time or you need added nutritional benefits of garlic then try our organic freeze dried garlic in capsule form. 

Probiotics, from the Lactobacillus and bifidobacterium genera (bacteria family), provide an important role in health supplements. Our digestive system has a population of good bacteria that help digest food and keep us regular. Probiotic balance promotes proper digestion, aids in production of vitamins, supports healthy immune responses and defends against bad bacteria that are harmful to you. This leads to complications like nausea, diarrhea, constipation, yeast infections heartburn, gastritis, ulcers, hemorrhoids, flatulence, constipation, and colon cancer risk.

As we grow older our digestive system malfunction becomes more common from food allergies, antibiotic use and an unhealthy diet that does not include fermented food types. In order to restore or replace the flora a probotics product is in order. Probably the most convenient is Probiotic pearls which come in a easy to use package with individual 'pearls' one ingests daily.

With probiotics supplements we can find a wide range of 'good bacteria' and it can be confusing to someone new to this kind of dietary supplement. Which one is best? Might be a question asked and the answer is all of them. Your stomach and intestines are colonized by all kinds of bacteria and when they are under stress or worse killed off from the side effects of antibiotics it takes a lot and a diversity to restore your digestive system. Even if one were drinking 'the mother' in vinegar or active yeast in beer one would still need a greater number of colonies in balance. Even if one were drinking 'the mother' in vinegar or active yeast in beer one would still need a greater number of colonies in balance.

The last several weeks have been very hot in most parts of the United States with the heat index creeping beyond 100 degrees. With heat comes dehydration as you perspire and breath. It's important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and staying out of the sun as much as possible. When water is not enough try Selectrolytes which is a concentrate of electrolytes. This ionic solution may be used orally to replace or maintain fluids and minerals. Electrolytes are minerals dissolved or suspended in solution which create the electrical charge needed for the body to function. They help maintain stable blood pressure, circulation, regulate body temperature, transport nutrients, detoxify metabolic waste ( heavy metals, toxic chemicals, etc.) and lubricate joints. Fluid & electrolyte losses with excessive perspiration and respiration. 

Selectrolytes are also very useful for detoxification supplementation.

We have introduced three new products,

Asea

The key to protecting, repairing, and replacing cells is a specialized set of molecules: Redox Signaling molecules. Your own body makes them, every minute of every day. But as we get older, our bodies get less efficient at the process. In fact, while very young children operate at nearly 100% efficiency in what scientists call "the healing response," a 70 year-old is operating at only 10% efficiency. That's aging, right there. Reduction in efficiency in the healing response. The answer? The world's only Redox Signaling supplement: ASEA

Chlorella is a single celled fresh water green algae that is eatable. It contains high levels of protein and essential amino acids. Chlorella has been used for centuries in Asia but it was not really until post World War II that research began on the nutritional qualities of Chlorella in the West. It was looked at as a possible food source for humans in a rapidly expanding world.

LUBITZ, J. A. (1963), The Protein Quality, Digestibility, and Composition of Algae, Chlorella 71105. Journal of Food Science, 28: 229–232. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2621.1963.tb00189.x

Freeze-dried Chlorella 71105 was found to contain 55.5% crude protein; 7.5% crude fat; 8.25% ash; 7.0% moisture; 17.8% total carbohydrate; 3.1% crude fiber; 2.68% chlorophyll; and .08% urea.

To be sure a high protein content is not enough to guarantee a healthy meal.

Chlorella pyrenoisdosa also contains high levels of Carotene, Thiamin, Ribflavin, Niacin, Pyridoxine, Pantothenic acid, Choline, biotin, vitamin B12 and Lipoic acid

There was a time when giving your teacher an apple was a good thing. A new study by the Environmental Working Group identifies the 'dirty dozen' of pesticide exposure in vegetables and fruits. The report also provides information on the 'clean 15' of fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately our much loved apple is at the top of the pesticide dirty list.

For many years pesticides have been used to make fruit and vegetables look better or to make it possible to grow reliably. Consumers have long demanded perfection in fruits and vegetables that just does not exist in the organic world. Some fruits, like apples are very difficult to grow without the use of pesticides and fungicides. As a matter of fact the dirty dozen reads like a horticultural book on the most problematic food crops that usually require pesticides or very intensive labor farming.

Some organic pesticide alternatives exist but are not always effective or present even an even more lethal dose than petrochemical based products. One of the old time pesticides was and is Nicotine. Most organic farmers do not use organic pesticides and instead rely on hand picking pests off the plants and using netting to keep the bugs at bay. Imagine trying to pick bugs off of an apple tree or even netting one? This is one of the reasons why organics are so expensive.

Even with the new study by the EWG it's important to remember that passing up an apple for a Twinkie is not a healthy choice. Nor should one eliminate the dirty dozen from their diet. It's all about quantity and the health tradeoffs. Also consider a detoxifcation program that includes chlorella and Cilantro from your health provider.

The dirty dozen, recommended by the EWG to buy organically

1. Apple
2. Celery
3. Strawberry
4. Peach
5. Spinach
6. Nectarines
7. Grapes
8. Sweet Bell Pepper
9. Potato
10. Blueberry
11. Lettuce
12. Kale

And the clean 15, which according to the EWG study are the lowest in pesticides

1. Onions
2. Sweet Corn
3. Pineapple
4. Avocado
5. Asparagus
6. Sweet pea
7. Mango
8. Eggplant
9. Cantelope
10. Kiwi
11. Cabbage
12. Watermelon
13. Sweet Potato
14. Grapefruit
15. Mushroom

Recently in the news we learned that cell phones may lead to brain tumors according to the World Health Organization (WHO) researchers. This is not based on new research but a review of limited past studies. Not three months ago we read about a British study by the University of Manchester, published in BioElectroMagnetics that suggested that cell phones do not lead to brain cancer. Certainly the debate will continue on about cell phone safety with the user confused on which side to error. It's also held by some that electro-magnetic radation can cause other kinds of illnesses too.

There is no doubt that a powerful transmitter being held closely to the users head region over decades could cause some issues. So many factors can contribute to the possibility or lack of that it's very difficult for a study to pick up on subtle trends. Figure in variables like exposure time, distance the phone is held from head, age, thickness of skull and it may take 20 years or more to determine some kind of pattern.

If you aren't willing to wait and see if you or someone you know develops brain tumors from radiation than you do have some options.

• Speakerphone
• Hands free device that separates you from your phone
• Gia Cell guard
• Gia Radiation Free Air Tube

Brain health is an intriguing pursuit that we may or may not have much control over. Old lore has provided many paths with few showing any breakthrough. Ginkgo nuts were long thought to provide a memory boost however current studies have shown little or no advantage. Some find caffeine a brain stimulant although how you get the caffeine can be more important. Coffee and tea offer caffeine but the effects are much different.

Moving away from tonics for health and perhaps the most controversial subject, exercising the brain. This runs from actual brain exercises like crossword puzzles to physical body exercise. It's been a long held belief that doing crossword puzzles helps keep the brain sharp with some research like the New York's Albert Einstein College of Medicine study in 2009 and yet Robert S. Wilson, professor of neurological science and behavioral science at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago describes studies including his own (NPR) that show cognitive exercises actually hasten decline in patients who have Alzheimer's disease even though more than half show a greater period of time staving it off before the inevitable onset. Tara Parker-Pope mentions a study on brain activity in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrating exercise helps the brain.

The problem is the brain is a very complicated piece of bio-engineering and it's hard to figure out the interaction with multiple biological systems involved. Chemistry certainly plays a role as do many other biological processes. Far from being the final blog article on brain health we expect to find a lot to discuss in the coming months.

No reason to bring your horseradish to this raw bar party: Pashen makes a wonderful line of handmade, organic & raw snack bars.  Even better they taste great with its organic ingredients, sprouted and dehydrated buckwheat, organic pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cranberries, goji berries and sesame seeds; honey, agave nectar; almond butter and cacao butter.  Pashen has an original raw bar with their basic raw ingredients and a tasty layer of cacao chocolate on top created from a blend of raw cacao butter and cacao powder, with a hint of real vanilla bean and a touch of organic agave nectar.

Sprouted and organic pumpkin seeds are a near perfect food - they have amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids, contain many B vitamins, as well as C, D, E and K. They also have wonderful minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorous and niacin.  Sprouted and organic almonds are rich in potassium, dietary fiber and magnesium to support a healthy heart and immune system.  Organic sesame seeds are a very good source of manganese and copper as well as calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. Organic dried cranberries contain a source of pythochemicals known as condensed tannins - this means these berries are powerful antioxidants with an anti-inflammatory effect.  The goji berry is well known for its high antioxidant properties. Goji berries are rich in many nutrients, minerals and amino acids.

Cacao is a raw chocolate from the rainforest that many nutritional experts believe to be a super-food. Super-foods are food with antioxidants that are nearly off the charts in comparison to other foods. Most importantly, pure chocolate is believed to stimulate various neurotransmitters such as serotonin.

You can find the original Pashen raw bar and cacao raw bar at the NIHA Wellness Store.

Industrial societies suffer from continuous exposure to toxins in everyday life. The air we breath is assaulted on a daily basis with pollutants and depending on where you live in the world it can be as bad as the 19th century London where coal was burned exclusively and the air was thick with 'London Fog". In many post industrial nations the environmental toxins are more hidden with some leftover from the industrial boom. Heavy metals in fish, drinking water contaminated from energy exploration, powerful electro-magnetic fields and radiation from nuclear power plants. Coal is still around and heavily used to generate electricity although much better filtered than in the past it contributes to CO2 formation affecting the earth's temperature. With all the health challenges faced by modern people it's no wonder why many are left wondering how they will not only survive but prosper.

Many of these toxins build up in our bodies in small amounts that later help weaken the body's immune system. Chronic conditions may be encouraged to settle into our bodies if some action is not taken. Action can be drugs that hide the symptoms but do nothing for the cause, or, specifically detoxification of the body based on Biological medicine processes.

Biological Medicine has three steps to reversing this buildup of toxins:

1. Proper diagnosis and evaluation

2. Identify and remove barriers that hold back the healing process in chronic illness

3. Detoxification and organ drainage therapy

Biological Medicine offers a wide variety of alternative therapies including herbology, homeopathy, nutrition, chelation, oxygen and many others. These are all known for their ability to support and restore the body's structure and internal organs, with a balance between body, mind, and spirit.

World Wellness Store launches a new blog to provide information on health supplements, nutritional tips and highlights on cutting edge health concerns.
