Should we ALL be taking Lithium?

I read an article in the New York Times over the weekend entitled, Should We All Take a Bit of Lithium? – and for the title alone, I just knew I had to share it with you!

The basic premise of the article is this:  Researchers discovered that areas where the water supply contained natural levels of lithium, the depression and suicide rates were much lower than areas where the levels of lithium in the water were much lower or non-existent.  Lithium was found to significantly lower suicide rates, and had a significant effect in lowering rates of dementia!

Lithium is a powerful mineral and none of us should be without it – even for one day!

According to Charles Walters, author of the book Minerals for the Genetic Code, lithium:

  • is critical to the body and vital for emotional stability
  • is helps the spleen work and assist the immune system in all it’s function
  • has been shown to protect brain cells involved in learning and memory
  • is able to kill cancer cells
  • is associated with treatment for psychiatric disorders, even suicide
  • is only needed in trace amounts to provide maximum benefits
  • helps to stabilize the neurotransmitter Serotonin, the happiness and well-being brain chemical

Signs of lithium deficiency include behavioral problems, depression, alcohol cravings, manic depression, impotency, dementia and severe/prolonged melancholia.

Did you know that in the early days of 7up (originally called, Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda), the soft drink contained lithium?  It wasn’t for depression either – it was for helping manage headaches – and 7up soon became the drink of choice for hang over sufferers!

7-up actually advertised for a season for young mothers to add the soft drink to their babies milk to keep them ‘calm’ – or just tip the bottle right to your babies lips for maximum effect!

As you know, I believe minerals are the foundation of health and wholeness, and we have build our Body as Doctor philosophy entirely upon the amazing, life altering benefits of using minerals, especially ionic minerals.

When I read the New York Times article, I thought, “If everyone in the world had access to our Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals, we would be rid of most anxiety and depression – maybe even most chronic disease!”

So today, I’m sending you the gift of an amazing New York Times article, along with my recommendations if you or a loved one are battling anxiety or depression.

1. If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, you need to go off ALL dairy and meat from cows! Remember Mad Cow Disease? It’s still around.  Eat more fruits and vegetables and focus on healthy sources of protein.

2. Make sure you walk, run or bike for 30 – 60 minutes every morning. You brain needs oxygen! Have you heard of “runner’s high”? This means the exercise is turning on your Serotonin factory, the crucial chemical ESSENTIAL for the brain to be happy.

3. Start with diet and exercise, and add one or more of our anti-depression formulas that can take the edge off, while you deal with the underlying issues driving your emotional state. We have an entire brain and mood category of extraordinary formulas designed to give you the emotional, psychological and mental boost needed so that you can overcome whatever is coming against you.

Our ‘liquid lithium’ formula, Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex, is definitely the place to start!  Lithium is a natural anti-depressant, and magnesium can calm anxiety better than any pharmaceutical drug!

Robin Williams Suicide Brings Depression to the Forefront


I was stunned and deeply saddened by the recent news of Robin William’s suicide. Robin touched our lives in ways few are able. His immense talents spanned hilarious moments of stand-up comedy, and films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, to breathtaking dramatic performances in films like Dead Poet’s Society and Good Will Hunting, for which he received an academy award.

It came out over the course of the week that Williams had been diagnosed in the early stages of Parkinson’s Disease. The combination of his deep depression and his grim outlook for the future was enough to push him over the edge emotionally and psychologically.

As is true when these horrific suicides occur in the public eye, our focus often turns to the depth of depression and sadness one must have experienced in order to come to the conclusion that life is not worth living anymore.

Depression and suicide have been the major topics searched on Google this week, as well as reported heavily on every news station, but one thing the major news agencies don’t tell you is how to deal with the depression in our own lives!

Many of us either know someone who has experienced severe depression, anxiety or even been suicidal. Our mission is to both educate and empower you to let your body heal itself – including healing debilitating depression.

This is a brief “to do” list if you or someone you love are battling depression.

1. Of course, if you are experiencing thoughts of suicide right now, please call someone!  Reach out and call a friend, a loved one or a suicide hotline!

2. If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, you need to go off ALL dairy and meat from cows! Remember Mad Cow Disease? It’s still around.  Eat more fruits and vegetables and focus on healthy sources of protein.

3. Make sure you walk, run or bike for 30 – 60 minutes every morning. You brain needs oxygen! Have you heard of “runner’s high”? This means the exercise is turning on your serotonin factory, the crucial chemical ESSENTIAL for the brain to be happy.

4. Start with diet and exercise, and add one or more of our anti-depression formulas that can take the edge off, while you deal with the underlying issues driving your emotional state.  We have an entire brain and mood category of extraordinary formulas designed to give you the emotional, psychological and mental boost needed so that you can overcome whatever is coming against you.

Our ‘liquid lithium’ formula, Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex, is an amazing, all-natural anti-depressant!  Lithium is a natural anti-depressant, and magnesium can calm anxiety better than any pharmaceutical drug!

Also check out our Nature’s Energy Secret formula!  This formula is packed with Rhodiola Rosea, another all-natural anti-depressant. Rhodiola has repeatedly been proven to significantly impact depression symptoms and is also a powerful adaptogenic to help you cope with stress and change.

5-HTP is what your brain needs to produce serotonin – the ‘feel good’ chemical in the brain.  When our serotonin levels are low, we feel depressed and when our serotonin levels are markedly low, we are severely depressed.  Boosting serotonin levels is KEY to happiness!

“I LOVE the 5-HTP! It’s made a huge difference in my life. It really helps in stabilizing my mood to handle day to day stress.” – Brenna Ballestero

“I love Good Night combined with 5-HTP to finally sleep! I am anxious and have always been a very light sleeper, I wake up several times a night and take hours to actually get to sleep. These products have changed that! When I wake in the morning I am not groggy like I was with medication.”
– Connie Loyd

“This is one of the best products I’ve ever taken. I have been taking Nature’s Energy Secret for a couple of months now and I no longer have fatigue in the afternoons like I used to, and I’ve noticed that I’m calmer and able to focus more. I don’t ever want to be without it.” – Andrea Marks

Managing depression is not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you are struggling with depression and anxiety due to emotional or physical triggers, we can help! Call our customer support team to schedule a consultation with one of our health coaches. We are all here to help you.

“You – you alone will have the stars as no one else has them… In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…You – only you – will have stars that can laugh.”

― (the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry quote shared by Robin William’s daughter, Zelda on Instagram upon the news of his death.)

The End of Alzheimer's and ADHD?

Alzheimer’s and ADD/ADHD did not exist when I was growing up. They have both only appeared in the last few decades and were simply unknown until very recently.

Other modern epidemics are running rampant as well, like diabetes, hypertension, breast and prostate cancer.

We are having these new epidemics because we are doing things humans have never done before. These record rates are confined to industrialized nations, especially America.

No people in the history of the entire world have ever hogged down so many calories, fat, sugars, and nutrition-less food than we do.  No one.

EVER.

Alzheimer’s disease is basically based upon inflammation and oxidative stress – the same factors causing coronary heart disease. Once Alzheimer’s takes hold, it cannot be cured. The most significant causes are excess sugar intake (more than 160 pounds per person each year,) high blood glucose, high insulin, and insulin resistance.

Our mad devotion to eating double bacon cheeseburgers only adds fuel to the fire as we stuff over 40% saturated (animal) fat calories into ourselves each day.  GROSS!

The percentage of fat we consume should only be 10 to 20%, and come directly from vegetable oils.

Of course, we all need to stop our addiction to animal protein and stop eating pig and dairy. That’s definitely the first step. But, there’s more.

Our incredible Mind Power formula is the most super-powerful, all-natural anti-Alzheimers and anti-ADD/ADHD product available today.

Nothing compares.

REVEALED: The Truth About Cholesterol Drugs

Magnifying glass looking at CHOLESTEROL

Do you believe the medical community’s claim that it is high cholesterol that causes heart attacks, heart disease and/or strokes?

Do you also believe you need to take a drug to lower it?

This is a lie and you need to know the truth – Very low cholesterol is dangerous to your health – and taking pharmaceutical drugs, primarily statins, are more dangerous than the cholesterol!

People have been wrongly told for years and years that their high cholesterol levels were going to kill them if they didn’t do something – immediately!

During this same time, people who had been prescribed cholesterol lowering drug, experienced serious side effects – most of which were ignored by the medical community.

It is imperative to understand the pros and cons of cholesterol and statin drugs – You will be very surprised!

Cholesterol might not be the danger to your health that conventional medical doctors believe it is.

In fact, their medication IS THE GREATEST DANGER!

Read on to hear the surprising facts from my friend, Lena Sanchez, and change your view of cholesterol forever.

Brain Disease Increase Connected To Low Cholesterol!

© Lena Sanchez

Has your doctor insisted you need to lower your cholesterol levels? Tens of thousands are being told this and are taking cholesterol lowering medications – statins – out of fear they will have a heart attack, stroke or heart disease.  This is far from the truth!

In fact, according to one study – “very low LDL cholesterol levels may actually increase your risk of Parkinson’s disease.”  The study involved 236 people — 124 Parkinson’s patients and 112 controls. The researchers measured all the participants’ cholesterol levels and gathered information regarding their smoking habits and use of cholesterol-lowering drugs.

They found the subjects with the lowest LDL levels (less than 114 milligrams per deciliter) had a 3.5-fold higher occurrence of Parkinson’s than the participants with higher LDL levels (below 138 to 250 milligrams per deciliter).

Conventional medicine wonders why millions of Alzheimer’s cases exist – research shows there will be 14 million cases by 2050.  It seems that the pharmaceutical industry, along with doctors, who aim for an LDL below 200, are actually causing the Alzheimer’s increase!



Here is what Mayo Clinic Cardiologist, Dr. Thomas Behrenbeck stated:

“Rare cases of memory loss have been reported in people taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, such as Lipitor. But these reports were anecdotal and have not been substantiated by formal testing of cognitive function. In most of these cases, memory improved after the individuals stopped taking the statins.”

If these statin drugs can cause memory loss, could Alzheimer’s patients really be suffering with drug induced, very low cholesterol memory loss caused by use of statin drugs?

Do You Sleep Like George W. Bush or Bill Clinton?

Did you know that Bill Clinton was notorious for only sleeping 5 or 6 hours a night?  According to the New York Times, he started that habit while at Georgetown after a professor stated that “the most successful men need the least sleep.”

Bill Clinton was doing himself a huge disservice!

According to NPR, Clinton needed heart surgery in his 50s, despite not being at obvious cardiovascular risk.

George W. Bush was often chided in the press for his afternoon naps, and at a 2005 White House Correspondents dinner, his wife Laura said, “I said to him the other day, George, if you really want to end tyranny in the world, you’re going to have to stay up later.”

George knew he needed his sleep!

The New York Times reported in 2002 that after a thorough examination of John Kennedy’s medical records, it was revealed that he was quite unhealthy and was using barbiturates for sleep.  In fact, the class of drug used was for easing anxiety and controlling seizures!  Since then, it’s been replaced by safer options!

Although it is very important to take steps to ensure healthy sleep patterns, sleeping pills and other anti-anxiety meds aren’t usually good options.

Certain types of these pharmaceuticals have been linked to increased risk of cancer or even death!

What would you give for a solid 8 hours of sleep – night after night – waking rested and recharged for the day ahead?

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.”

Your Brain on Stress and NO Sleep


STRESS – The Trillion Dollar Killer!

Stress is the trigger of all major diseases. Heart attacks, fatal strokes, brain hemorrhages and cardiac arrest are now our most common killers.

Studies have linked stress with cancer and heart disease for years, but the reality is, stress causes inflammation, and chronic inflammatory response is being linked to almost every illness known to man – obesity, autoimmune disorders like AIDS, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, etc.

It is imperative we to learn how to RELAX! It is definitely a lost art we need to reclaim! Do you even remember the last time you were able to get 8 FULL hours of sleep EVERY single night?

Stress is a natural response reaction to internal and external conditions, elevating alertness and our immune system response. A little stress is good, but prolonged stress leads to fatigue, lack of sleep and irritability, damages personal relationships and creates long-term health issues.

Our brains cannot survive this onslaught of stress and inflammation unscathed. Heightened, prolonged levels of cortisol in our bloodstream can be fatal!

Cortisol is called the “stress hormone”, secreted by the adrenal glands in high levels in response to stress. Small doses of cortisol are good – giving us bursts of energy to survive our “fight or flight” response.

Our bodies were designed to relax and rest after a stressful event, allowing cortisol levels to drop and return to normal. Unfortunately, in our always-on-the-go lifestyle today, we do not take the time to slow down and recover. Instead we throw ourselves into a state of chronic stress.

Prolonged, heightened levels of cortisol in our bloodstream have very negative effects – impairing mental performance, suppressing thyroid function, upsetting blood sugar balance, raises blood pressure, increases abdominal fat causing a plethora of other issues, and lowering immunity and inflammatory response.

The BEST Investment I've Made for My Health & Wellness

Image: Brenna Ballestero and Lil B

“”Hi!  My name is Brenna and I am now – literally – exploding with health!

I remember first being introduced to Wayne Garland’s supplements when my son was a baby. I confided in my girlfriend Brooke about my stress, insomnia and accompanying heart palpitations – all of the “fun” stuff that goes along with stress!

She’d met Wayne and had been taking his 5-HTP Formula for a long time.

I was shocked to hear that she had stress issues, because she always seemed to be well-rested, calm, and a generally-go-with-the-flow type of person. Alas, she shared that such was not always so, but that she’d been taking Wayne’s mega-nutrients and 5-HTP for years. She told me she’d never gotten sick while she was faithful to his products.

Being a stressed out, full time working, single mother, I was desperate for something that would keep me healthy and help me manage stress. I hated the thought of going to a doctor just to be given an anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications.

So, I skeptically, but hopefully, order my first 5-HTP supplements. The first night I took the 5-HTP, I was able to sleep and was pleasantly surprised to find out there weren’t any weird hangover feelings in the morning. I just felt … Good!

I have to say to this day, that was the BEST investment I’ve ever made for my health and wellness.

Russia's Secret Olympic Weapon

“At six of its nine appearances at the Olympic Games between 1952 and 1988, the Soviet team (USSR) ranked first in the total number of gold medals won, it was second on the other three occasions.”
– topendsports.com

The Russian Olympic teams had “secret weapons” for enhancing athletic performance without drugs and relieving stress of training and sustaining energy and stamina for the body, brain and central nervous system.

These powerful weapons were DMG and Rhodiola.

Mislabeled for years as vitamin B-15, DMG is an effective energy booster, stamina-enhancer and cardiovascular-building nutrient, as it makes the process of metabolism extremely fast and significantly more efficient.

Muhammad Ali used it during his reign as the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, claiming it was HIS “secret weapon” in training.

Rhodiola is a powerful adaptogenic herb, in that it has the capacity to normalize body functions and strengthen systems compromised by stress. It is able to SUPERCHARGE the DMG for a significantly more powerful effect in your body.

These “top secrets” of the Russian Olympic teams beyond doubt enhanced their athletic performances without “performance enhancing” drugs

It was particularly beneficial for relieving the extreme stresses of training and boosted endurance, energy and stamina, not just physically, but in the brain and central nervous system too.

We are excited to introduce our newest formulation combining these amazing all-natural ingredients called Nature’s Energy Secret. On Sale for a limited time!
