EBOLA: Keep Calm and Take Lots of Vitamin D

Over the last several weeks, I’ve spoken to many of you who are feeling a bit of panic surrounding  Ebola coming to the United States.

So far, over 13,000 cases of Ebola have been diagnosed worldwide and close to 5,000 deaths.

There have only been 3 cases diagnosed in this country and one death, and thank God there haven’t been anymore diagnosed cases – so no need to panic!

Let me address for a moment the upcoming cold and flu season, and a sobering statistic from the World Health Organization – or the WHO –  that between 3 and 5 million cases of the flu will be diagnosed this season, and between 250,000 to 500,000 deaths will occur – and a staggering majority of these deaths will be in babies less than 2 years old and adults 65+.

This is tragic, and most importantly, preventable – and again, no cause for panic!

If you listen to the WHO or the CDC, the only way to prevent the flu is to vaccinate, but nothing could be further from the truth!

The reality is the annual vaccination is unreliable at best, and can severely compromise your immune system, allowing for these virus’s to take hold and flourish.

We recommend that you prepare now for what is ahead.

If you are eating a plant-strong diet, along with pure, filtered water and exercising 30 minutes every day, you are way ahead of the immunity game!  Keep up the good work!

There is one relatively easy way to greatly reduce your chances of getting any virus, and … drum roll please … it’s relatively cheap and it will probably change your life.

Most people are severely deficient in their vitamin D levels and these viral outbreaks are the evidence.

Vitamin D is so extremely effective, the pharmaceutical companies are trying to figure out how to make a drug out of it!

Vitamin D literally turns on your body’s ability to fight viral and bacterial assaults, and we need it every single day.  Without it, we are vulnerable to every virus and disease.

We carry two unique Vitamin D products I strongly suggest everyone take from now until June – one is our best selling, high potency (5,000iu)  Ultra D3 and the other is a small, 2,000iu kid-sized gelcap simply called Vitamin D3.

Be THE ONE who stays calm and carries on – all winter long!

We’ve created a Winter Wellness Kit containing the 4 essential formulas – Ultra D3, Shark Liver Oil, Immune Support and Respiratory Lung Health – for boosting your immune and respiratory systems to battle colds, flu and more this winter – and wholesale priced so you can protect you and your loved ones.

Do You Have Leaky Gut?

Leaky Gut is the the root cause of over half of all chronic disease. The fact is, millions of Americans suffer from it and are dying from the diseases associated with it – autoimmune disorders, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)/ irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), type 1 diabetes, autism, allergies, asthma, and now, cancer.

The crazy part is, you might have it and have no idea what “it” actually is.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is basically the breaking down of the walls of the intestine, so that undigested food particles, toxic waste and bacteria “leak” through the intestine into the blood stream wreaking havoc on your immune system – and worse – causing disease.

According to Dr. Leo Galland, director of the Foundation for Integrated Medicine, the following 10 symptoms can be signs of leaky gut:

  • Chronic diarrhea, constipation, gas or bloating
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Poor immune system
  • Headaches, brain fog, memory loss
  • Excessive fatigue
  • Skin rashes and problems such as acne, eczema or rosacea
  • Cravings for sugar or carbs
  • Arthritis or joint pain
  • Depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD
  • Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and Crohn’s

This damaging of the intestinal walls is caused by a variety of factors: unhealthy diet, food allergies, taking antibiotics and over-the-counter pain medications, incomplete chewing, inadequate stomach acids and pancreatic enzymes, overeating and stress.

In a study conducted by Thomas Jefferson University, researchers discovered a direct link between leaky gut and the root cause of several types of cancer. In fact, protecting the lining of the gut can potentially protect the entire body.

“If the intestinal barrier breaks down, it becomes a portal for stuff in the outside world to leak into the inside world,” said Dr. Waldman, chair of the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at Jefferson and director of the Gastrointestinal Cancer Program at Jefferson’s Kimmel Cancer Center. “When these worlds collide, it can cause many diseases, like inflammation and cancer.”

You might be wondering, “So what can I do?”

The very first thing you can do is improve your diet. The Standard American Diet is woefully overloaded with processed foods and sacrificing fresh fruits and vegetables. The time is now to take a serious look at what you eat and the opportunity to kick-start a lifestyle.

The primary contributors to Leaky Gut are wheat, meat, processed foods, dairy, soy, alcohol, caffeine and processed sugar. Ideally, move toward a vegan diet. If you need help with shifting to a plant strong or vegan diet, don’t hesitate to call our Plant Strong Nutritional Support Team and they can walk you step by step through the process.

I highly suggest you start taking our Pro-Biotic Max Formula which contains a high quality spectrum of 25 Billion live probiotics or “friendly bacteria” per capsule to support gastrointestinal health, promoting the absorption of nutrients in the stomach and intestines, as well as improve elimination of toxic compounds.

Did you know antibiotics kill good bacteria? Pro-Biotic Max will help to replenish the friendly bacteria in your digestive system to help heal Leaky Gut Syndrome and boost your immune system.

What else can you do?

  • Avoid excess grains, lectins, gut allergens, and fermented/yeast growing foods that can cause inflammation in your gut. You might not be allergic, but you may have an intolerance.  Try an elimination diet and reintroduce these triggers to see how you feel – or rotate foods so you aren’t eating the exact things all the time, which can create an allergy. Take charge of 100% of what goes into your body.
  • Add digestive enzymes to your food to help with gut health and better digestion and absorption of food.  Add our Transform-Zymes to every meal for a month and you won’t believe how much better you feel!
  • Eliminate all processed foods. These are probably the very worst things you can put in your body.  Think of it like this – If it wasn’t around 100 years ago or comes in a package, don’t eat it.
  • Eat way more vegetables and healthy fats. Of course, more vegetables is a no-brainer! But, healthy fats can be tricky.  Try our Omega 3/6/9 Formula, and also include healthy fats in your diet, like avocado and Coconut Oil.
  • Last, but by far the least, lower stress! This might be another no-brainer, but stress kills and no one else will lower your stress for you – take charge of your life and make a commitment to do something for yourself every single day – even if it’s just deep breathing.  It can save your life!

USA TODAY – "10 states report outbreak of respiratory illness in kids"

According to USA Today and all major news organizations, a virulent virus is rapidly spreading across the country. 12 states have seen cases at this point, and as many as 15% of infected children have been hospitalized, primarily due to breathing difficulties.

The number of hospitalizations could be “just the tip of the iceberg in terms of severe cases,” Mark Pallansch, director of the CDC’s Division of Viral Diseases, told CNN.

This virus – enterovirus D68, is typical in that is similar to what the medical community sees during the cold and flu season, but atypical in that we are seeing cases much sooner than the cold and flu season that usually begins soon after Halloween, and also the number of hospitalizations is far greater with this virus than with the common cold.  “There are about 100 types of illnesses in the enterovirus family, which affect about 10 million to 15 million Americans each year”, the CDC said.

Dr. Christine Nyquist, medical director of infection control at Children’s Hospital Colorado, said the hospital sent samples to the CDC from patients with respiratory illness. Around 75% were confirmed to be EV-D68.  Colorado has seen more then 900 cases of this virus since August 18th.

The reason health officials are concerned this year is that there have been so many hospitalizations.

“That’s the scary part — the unpredictability, I think,” Nyquist said.

Health Alert: Ebola Virus "inevitable" in US

Since March, the news of the Ebola outbreak in west Africa has startled and shocked many of us. To date, this deadly virus is responsible for over 700 deaths, and those numbers are expected to double over the coming weeks as an additional 1400 diagnoses have been made.

I have been overwhelmed by the sacrifice of International Aid Workers who have served the needs of the sick and dying of Africa and have themselves been stricken with the illness.

I have also become deeply saddened by the loss of so much life.

You may be concerned about the possibility this virus could travel to Europe and to the United States.

Dr. Tom Frieden, Director of the Center for Disease Control, spoke just days ago on Capital Hill and stated:

“It’s the first time we’re having to deal with it here in the United States and that’s not merely because of the two people who became ill caring for Ebola patients and were brought back to the U.S. by their organization. That’s primarily because we are all connected and inevitably there will be travelers, American citizens and others who go from these three countries — or from Lagos if it doesn’t get it under control — and are here with symptoms.”

Others have commented in the news recently that the risk of Ebola becoming a national health crisis is ‘slight’, but there is a probability our country will see cases.

I would strongly suggest, as you might guess, that we all eat healthier, get more exercise,and  drink plenty of clean water so that our immune systems are at peak performance, no matter if Ebola comes to this country or not!  If it’s not Ebola, it will be a new strain of the influenza virus, or something else eventually.

I would also suggest using your immune boosting formulas as part of your daily regimen throughout this upcoming cold and flu season.

Keep your eyes open for our newsletters – we will continue to report on this international health news as needed.

And as always, here’s to your Contagious Health!

Avoid Cancer with the Sunshine Vitamin?

Over the last few months, several research findings have been reported by news agencies and clinical journals, reminding us of the importance of vitamin D.

The most compelling story was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, and it stated:

“Cancer patients who have higher levels of vitamin D when they are diagnosed, tend to have better survival rates and remain in remission longer than patients who are vitamin D-deficient.”

This is just miraculous news for anyone who’s been diagnosed with Cancer or wants to avoid it!

“By reviewing studies that collectively examined vitamin D levels in 17,332 cancer patients, our analysis demonstrated that vitamin D levels are linked to better outcomes in several types of cancer,” said one of the study’s authors, Hui Wang, MD, PhD, Professor at the Institute for Nutritional Sciences at the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai, China.

“Considering that vitamin D deficiency is a widespread issue all over the world, it is important to ensure that everyone has sufficient levels of this important nutrient,” Wang said.

We are proud to have pioneered D3 therapy and to make the most powerful D3 product combined with K2 and other powerful antioxidants, all in one blockbuster formulation called Ultra D3.

GLUTATHIONE: The Antioxidant "Superhero"

“Many antioxidants work for one thing, or two things, or three things. Glutathione works for everything.”  – Robert H. Keller, MD, MS, FACP, AAHIVS


Glutathione is a blockbuster amino acid and is the BEST defense against cellular damage, aging and a host of diseases.

This single nutrient is able to clean your body, your lungs and furiously defend your body against contaminants and chemical assaults.

Glutathione aids our bodies in cleaning out the waste by:

  • working in the liver as a detoxifier
  • working in the spleen to strengthen immunity
  • shuttling needed protein between cells
  • alerting the immune system against invaders

Without this cleansing, every cell in your body would die prematurely from its own waste matter.

Isn’t that a lovely thought?

Even Dr. Oz considers Glutathione to be the “Super Hero” of Antioxidants. (Click here to listen to America’s most famous superstar doctor’s rave review of Glutathione.)

The more I learn about this wonder nutrient, the more I’m convinced it truly is a secret savior.

Read on and see if you agree with me.

Virtually everyone who is sick or suffers from a chronic disease is deficient in Glutathione. Read that sentence again.

STRESS: The Silent Killer

Stress is the SECRET KILLER.

There are hundreds of diseases listed on death certificates as the “cause of death”, but the reality is, the cause of death is almost always stress induced inflammation running rampant throughout the body.

Stress is a natural response of our bodies to react to internal and external toxins.

Our bodies go into “fight or flight” response and our immune system shifts into battle mode, trying desperately to adapt.

Eventually our immune system becomes overwhelmed and wears out, no longer able to fight.

Silently, inflammation burns us alive from the inside out.

As usual, Mother Nature has the solution to put out the “inflammation fires” once and for all.

Read on!  We believe we’ve found your Inflammation Salvation!

Overcoming the Secret Killer

The medical term for stress induced inflammation is Overactive Inflammatory Response and it literally turns the body into a cauldron of pain – throughout the joints, the hands, the head, heart – everywhere.

It mimics many of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia, but is much worse.

Inflammation is a secret epidemic. It is highly dangerous and the common denominator in just about every serious disease condition today.

Inflammation has been implicated in a variety of diseases, from heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer’s, as well as stiff, aching joints, constant back pain, chronic unexplained headaches, exhaustion, chronic fatigue, brain fog, severe depression, and lack of libido.

In 2004, TIME Magazine uncovered for the world that chronic inflammation may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age. Click here to read the article.

Here’s a snippet from the story about lowering inflammation:

“This concept is so intriguing because it suggests a new and possibly much simpler way of warding off disease. Instead of different treatments for, say, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and colon cancer, there might be a single, inflammation-reducing remedy that would prevent all three.”

Does Vladimir Putin Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Vladimir Putin is quite irritable these days.  And probably, for a good cause.

On top of all the stress of invading and conquering, Vladimir, like most Russians, eats a ton of meat and dairy products, proven to be choke-full of antibiotics, which reek havoc on our gut and digestive tract.

Poor Vladimir, right?  WRONG!  Poor all of us.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) admitted during Congressional testimony that the overuse of antibiotics in cows, chickens, pigs and other animals is leading to new strains of antibiotic-resistant “super bugs”.

“(The) USDA believes that it is likely that the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture does lead to some cases of antibacterial resistance among humans and in the animals themselves and it is important that these medically important antibiotics be used judiciously,”

Antibiotics are now in our food supply, on your table for tonight’s meal most likely, or in that hamburger you grabbed for a quick lunch break.

According to a study from the Union for Concerned Scientists, meat producers feed some 25 million pounds of antibiotics to chickens, pigs and cows for non-therapeutic purposes each year.

Stated another way, the amount of antibiotics fed to healthy animals is eight times greater than the amount given to sick people, which is 3 million pounds per year.

Eight Times GREATER!

We need to restore our good bacteria, called “probiotics” that are killed by all of the “antibiotics”.

Read on to hear about our new, improved Pro-Biotic Max formula and learn how to avoid horrific digestive issues – like Irritable Bowel Syndrome – once and forevermore!

70% of all Antibiotics are used on Farms

The massive over prescription of antibiotics on animals is breeding new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can, and have, spread to humans. One such “super bug” is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or “MRSA” that is a growing problem in schools, hospitals, day care centers, locker rooms, public restrooms, and prisons.

In fact, more people die in the U.S. from antibiotic-resistant staph infections like MRSA than from AIDS. And antibiotics continue to decline in effectiveness for treating both human and animal diseases.

Please, take a moment now to watch this short video with Katie Couric of CBS reporting on the problem.

Factory farms pump the antibiotics into healthy animals at such saturation levels that they automatically flow through to us humans. The report, “Hogging It: Estimates of Antimicrobial Abuse in Livestock”, states that the livestock industry feeds 10 million pounds of antibiotics to healthy hogs each year; 11 million pounds to poultry; and 4 million pounds to cattle.

What scientists now fear is that the antibiotic saturation of our meat supply means drugs not approved for use in humans are now turning up on our family dinner table.
