Give Arthritis Pain the Slip!

Do you know there are over 300 “types” of arthritic pain? It’s an epidemic, with one out of two people experiencing severe arthritis pain in their lifetime.

More than twenty years ago now, while studying Arthritis in all its various forms, I heard about the work of a doctor at a clinic in California by the name of Dr. Robert Bingham, who felt that all forms of arthritis started with poor nutrition.

It was Dr. Bingham who first sold me on the power of magnesium to the body. He felt that the medical world and the media were overselling calcium, when magnesium was the mineral the body really needed more of. He was also the first to passionately advocate high levels of daily sunshine for vitamin D production in the body.

Oh, how times have changed! Magnesium is now at the forefront of all bone science and vitamin D is being hailed as the “Miracle Sunshine Vitamin”, as nearly all chronic diseases are associated with vitamin D deficiency.

Imagine if you had all of this Arthritis wisdom available to you every second of every day? Without having to leave your home or desk? Imagine no more, we have it.

Read on to discover how you can rid yourself of arthritic pain once and for all.


How Do We Get Arthritis?

There are 3 “types” of Arthritis that are typically experienced by most people:

1. Osteoarthritis – a progressive disease that comes with aging. It can begin at the sight of previous injury. In some cases, arthritis, known as “Reactive Arthritis” can be brought on by other causes, including:

  • artist's rendering of joint pain and inflammationBladder Infections
  • Sexually Transmitted Diseases
  • Severe Illness (such as a viral or bacterial infection)
  • Vaccines

2. Rheumatoid Arthritis – (RA) is the second most common type of arthritis. It is in fact a type of autoimmune disease in which the body attacks tissues in the joints.

If you have another autoimmune disease, such as Lupus, Hashimoto’s disease, or Multiple Sclerosis, you are at a high risk to develop RA.

Autoimmune disorders cause a response in immune cells to attack connective tissues, even in the major organs of the body. This attacks the lining of the joints, which leads to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Nearly 1.5 million people now have RA.

3. Gout – The third most common type of arthritis is gout, a condition caused by uric acid deposits in the joints. This crystallization makes it difficult for bones to move, and is extremely painful, even for the affected area to be touched!

The Arthritis Foundation estimates that four percent of American adults develop gout, primarily in their middle ages. Gout is attributed to an increase of uric acid in the blood often contributed by dietary factors. Obesity-related conditions can also increase your risk for high uric acid and gout. Signs of gout start in the toes, but may spread to other joints in the body.

Blueberry Muesli

Serves 4

Blueberry MuesliI don’t know anyone who doesn’t love blueberries! If you can find them growing wild in the forest, even better! This recipe is more like granola, as Muesli is traditionally soaked in liquid (milk or water) overnight.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dried apples, chopped
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 cups blueberries (preferably wild)
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
Apple juice or water, to serve

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Mix oats, maple syrup, and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. Spread mixture evenly onto a non-stick baking tray.
4. Toast oat mixture in preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch mixture very closely when toasting to not burn.
5. Remove from oven and let cool. Pour into a large bowl and stir in chopped walnuts and dried apples.
6. Divide mixture into serving bowls and top with blueberries. Serve with apple juice.

Did you know?
Eating blueberries with dairy milk has been shown to block their antioxidant capacity, which is why this is served with apple juice or water instead of milk. (Although you could substitute any plant-based milk like almond, flax, hemp, soy, coconut, etc.)

In a recent study, volunteers were given 200 grams (7 ounces) of blueberries with either 200 ml (0.8 cups) of water or 200 ml cow’s milk. Those who consumed blueberries with water had a significant increase in their plasma antioxidant capacity. Interestingly, this effect was not found in those volunteers who ingested blueberries with milk. The study authors believe that the ability of milk to impair the antioxidant powers of blueberries may be a result of the affinity of blueberries for milk protein.


Annette Knocked OUT Her Arthritis Pain

For years I have had increasingly severe arthritis pain in my fingers. It had gotten so bad that I could not straighten them. I also was experiencing neuropathy in my feet with severe burning. This led to me taking more and more pain killers, which just wasn’t working!

I talked to Wayne Garland, and he advised the Structural Lubrication and theAgeless Anti-Inflammatory formulas, in addition to the Life Transfusion, which I was already taking.

I cannot believe how I have improved in such a short time! My fingers are limber again and I can walk without pain.

Thank you Wayne Garland, for the wonderful care you give all of us!

Give Arthritis the Slip – Literally!

For over 20 years now, we have been helping people fight all forms of Arthritis, including associated conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. We get exceptional results, particularly with the use of powerful ionic mineral compounds and anti-inflammatory herbs.

Diet and exercise changes are crucial. Total elimination of all dairy is a must. Did you know countries with the highest consumption of milk, cheese, ice cream and butter also have the highest levels of osteoporosis and arthritis?

Structural Lubrication with Celadrin and Hyaluronic Acid We start with our best selling Structural Lubrication formula. One of the first signs of aging is painful joints, knees, hips or lower back pain. None of this need happen. Our body is designed to handle aging, BUT it needs the resources to do this. As we age, we need to keep our skeletal system “lubricated’ so bone on bone degradation does not occur.

This amazing formula triggers the body to increase production of vital “Synovial Fluid” the body’s own lubricating fluid and thus stop bone and joint degradation.

Ageless Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Stress formula Inflammation is normally a good thing, enabling our bodies to ward off disease-causing bacteria and viruses, such as when we catch a cold or the flu, or get a splinter in our finger.

However an overactive inflammatory response may contribute to a number medical disorders, including the symptoms of aging.

Age-Less Anti-Inflammatory contains a potent blend of herbs like Holy Basil and Turmeric as well as anti-aging compounds to promote a healthy inflammatory response in the body. Age-Less can be used daily for the support of vascular and general health, or occasionally to alleviate aches and pains.

Ultra D3, Advanced formula with Vitamin D3 + K2 Our Ultra D3 formula is without a doubt the most powerful and synergistic Vitamin D formulation available, combining high potency vitamin D with vitamin K, along with co-factors Magnesium, Boron, Zinc, Trace Minerals and Beta Carotene, the precursor to vitamin A, to deliver incredible synergistic benefits ranging from building strong bones, improving cardiovascular health and antioxidant protection.

Vitamin D is what “turns on” the switch so that calcium becomes usable by the bones. For those with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease, the D3 also “turns on” the t-cells in our body – the front-line soldiers in our “Immune System Army”.

Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Mineral Complex No matter how well you eat, you simply cannot get the minerals your body needs. Minerals run every organ in the body. They make your heart beat, your brain think, your lungs pump, your pancreas function, they make bones and new hair, skin, nails. Minerals build the immune system, control insulin and much, much more.

Minerals come in many forms; colloidal, coral, chelated and finally ionic minerals.

Only ionic minerals conduct electricity, and Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Mineral Complex comes from a special ionic-form, purified sea water source, containing 76 minerals, identical to the chemical composition of pure blood.

The Hormone Nightmare in Children

I am observing boys and girls 8-10 years old with underarm hair, breast development and mood swings like a hurricane.

Sound familiar?

Childhood hormonal imbalance is now commonplace, and very serious for the children and those around them. The cause? Junk food and sodas (all from GMO’s that mimic hormones!), hamburgers, fried chicken and pizzas are hormonal ticking bombs, due to the growth hormones being used by producers. Add to that contributors from our water, air, and mass produced plastics, and the stage is set for your child’s hormones to go crazy!

What can you do?

Be diligent in your efforts to remove “empty” foods from your child’s life. When cooking your own meals, limit meat and ban ALL dairy products – they are meant to pack pounds on a baby cow, not a human being. Switch to organic almond milk or coconut milk (my favorite), or the new flax seed milk. If you consume meat, make it organic, grass-fed beef or wild-caught salmon. Introduce more plant-strong meals with salads, grains and homemade soups.

Finally, add supplements that will assist in keeping their hormones balanced and give them the additional nutrition their growing bodies need.

Hormones are NOT just for Moms and Dads

Healthy FamilyWhile most of us think about the raging hormones of teen-aged boys and girls, hormones are present in a child’s body from birth.

When these hormones become out of balance is when we start to see young children having issues with excessive weight gain like the increasingly present “tire” around the middle of our youth’s waists, underarm hair growth, and developing breasts.

Heading into their teens these problems persist and then can be compounded further with severe mood swings, even to the point of anger, anxiety, or depression. Your child can feel like they’re living in a nightmare.

What is at the “Root” of Hormone Imbalance?

Many factors are involved, from chemicals in the water, and dangerous ingredients that are found in water bottles, cans, non-stick pans and even microwave popcorn.

Is Your Child’s Food Altering Their Hormones?
Between growth hormones in beef and poultry farming, to GMO production in our grains, there is strong evidence that this is leading to a country filled with young people whose hormones are out of balance.

There are frightening reports out there, such as babies growing breasts due to formula with bovine growth hormones in it. Can you trust any facet of the food industry to have your child’s best interest at heart?

Growth Hormones and GMO’s harm your family at far greater levels than the food industry is willing to admit. What they continually express as being safe is actually far from it.

We hear the horror stories of kids who start their day with an energy drink, loaded with caffeine equivalent to 7 cups of coffee, and a GMO granola bar for lunch. Their hormones don’t have a fighting chance. Not only that, but kids are dying from these drinks! Click here to read about the dangers of energy drinks.

Because we understand the lifelong consequences (including unhealthy hormone levels) of eating meat, dairy, GMO grains and processed foods, our team loves to share the benefits of healthy, balanced, plant-strong eating. If you’d like to learn more about Plant-Strong Nutritional Support, contact us.

Make Probiotics Your Child’s New “Best Friend”

When it comes to elevating health, probiotics are essential for well-being. Beneficial microbes metabolize and recycle hormones, including estrogen, thyroid hormones, and phytoestrogens.

Probiotics play a major role in helping to maintain hormonal balance in women from the teenage menstruating years to the postmenopausal years. If this balance is thrown out from an excess of estrogen, hormone imbalance results. Estrogen dominance symptoms are weight gain, PMS, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, hot flashes, migraines, autoimmune diseases and even an increased risk of breast cancer.

Get the Purest Water

If you live near a factory, no doubt you are well aware that your drinking water is most likely contaminated with who knows what kinds of chemicals, but what about those of us who live in the city or suburbs, far from industrial contamination? Is our drinking water safe?

With over 2 million synthetic substances in use and 25,000 new substances introduced each year, the question is not, “is our water safe”, the question is,

“How do I protect myself and my family from these chemicals?”

A big concern now is the overwhelming amount of hormones and antibiotics in our drinking water from excretion! Plus drug makers are legally allowed to release hundreds of millions of pounds of pharmaceuticals into rivers and streams, that are then used for our drinking water.

Many years ago I heard the saying, “buy a filter, or be a filter.” That statement is even more true today.

Even bottled water with fancy labels and advertising, hides behind the fact that it contains highly dangerous toxic chemicals.

We are literally drinking ourselves to death!


What Can We Do About? – Get the Purest Water Available! Period.

More than 20 years ago, I established a friendship with the owner of a commercial water filtration manufacturer (located here in America) and like us, they take pride in designing only the highest quality products available.

Normally they sell their products exclusively to hotels, restaurants and other commercial buildings through large contractors. Because of our long friendship, the owner agreed to allow us to sell their products directly to our customers.

Since we work directly with them, we can guarantee that only the best filtration media and components are used, as well as attention to detail and craftsmanship in manufacturing.

A couple years ago, we did a podcast interview and recorded it for you to hear directly from Gary discuss the hows and whys of protecting yourself (and your family) from all the contaminants that are present in our water supply today.

Smart Kids Don't Do Drugs

Today’s world is like a war zone against our children, mentally and physically. From an onslaught of toxins like pesticides, herbicides and artificial flavorings and colorings in our food, fluoride and chemicals in our water, most children are diet poor, which creates conditions for the “perfect storm” where focus is impaired.

When a child has lack of focus or concentration in school, they are often labeled as “hyperactive”or worse, diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and prescribed drugs like Ritalin or Adderall.

Drugs just mask the symptoms, they never get to the heart of the matter. And are often dangerous, altering the personality of the child and their ability to learn. Another downside, is that a child once considered to be too “active”, is now behaving like a child-Zombie, even falling asleep during class.

We don’t believe your child need drugs to focus! Join us over the next 3 weeks, as we cover this topic, as well as others, affecting our young people, including hormones and keeping our young athletes strong and healthy.

We hope you’ll join us. Pass this along to your grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or anyone you know that could benefit from hearing truth in the face of this drug-driven world our young people live in.

Mental FOCUS is Important at any Age

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnoses are on the rise in our nation, with more than 3 million new diagnosis each year.

Scientists have not been able to pinpoint a single cause of this epidemic. However, there are many factors that can contribute. Eleven percent (yes, 11%) of children ages 4-17 were diagnosed with ADHD, a 16% increase since 2007. Click Here to Read More

Do you know a child dealing with attention deficit issues? Here are some areas that are considered to be contributing factors:

1. Pesticides – Consumption of pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables, even in the pregnant mother, are now showing at higher than normal rates of ADD/ADHD in their children.
2. Lead exposure – a neurotoxin, lead has been removed from most homes and schools, but traces of it are still everywhere.  A 2009 study found that children with ADHD tend to have higher blood-lead levels than other kids.
3. Food additives – While most European countries have banned certain preservatives, after research linked hyperactivity in children to food that contained mixtures of artificial colors and preservatives, the FDA continues to say that they are safe.
4. Overall Diet – Certain dietary components may affect behavior, and a recent Australian study suggested that adolescents with diets high in fat, refined sugar, soda, and sodium were two times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD as other kids.
5. Overexposure to Chemicals – Researchers have found a link between polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PCFs) – industrial compounds widely used in products like stain-resistance coatings and food packaging, and ADHD. Phthalates – found in items like toys, food packaging and cosmetics, have also been linked to ADHD.
6. Deficiencies in Omega-3 fatty acids –  which are important for brain development and function, can contribute to ADHD symptoms.
7. Home Environment – can make for stressed and unhealthy children:

  • Second-hand smoke
  • Stress in the home
  • Disorder – children thrive on routine and boundaries
  • Sleep – children need more sleep than adults and without it become cranky and irritable
  • Lack of a quiet place for homework, creative thinking or reading

Give Your Child Fuel to FOCUS

To help your child with their focus, look at the overall picture, beginning with diet. Studies in school children consistently show that kids who eat breakfast are better able to focus and learn.

Keeping Your Child Focused

The side effects of ADD/ADHD drugs can be highly detrimental to children and young adults. Issues can range from sleep issues, decreased appetite, to delayed growth and tics. Click Here to Read More

There is a different way to treat children who lack focus. When supplemented properly, combined with control of surrounding environment and diet, many children can go on to lead successful school careers, apart from drugs.

Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex is a complete trace mineral formula high in Magnesium, the tranquility mineral. Magnesium deficiency is rampant today and leads to anxiety and hyperactivity.

Minerals run every organ in the body. They make your heart beat, your brain think, your lungs pump, your pancreas function, they make bones and new hair, skin, nails.

Minerals build the immune system, control insulin and much, much more. Minerals conduct electricity through the cells and the body, particularly the brain.

Add a few drops to your child’s morning smoothie (or mix with cranberry or carrot juice) and you’ll notice a calmness to their mood throughout the day.


Mind Power is ideal for any child over the age of 3, just reduce the number of capsules according to weight.

This extraordinary formula dramatically increases oxygen flow to the brain allowing it to “think clearly”, while conducting high electrical thought patterns and increased volume of thinking.

Mind Power is like an “Einstein-pill” that fuels the genius inside of all of us.


Omega 3/6/9 contains Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) that are just that – “essential” for the body.

EFA’s are the major constituents of all cell membranes. Without fatty acids, the membranes are unable to function. This means the life process comes to a shuddering halt.

“The brain, when its water weight is removed, consists primarily of Essential Fatty Acids. That is why there is so much attention deficit problems with our children. They get next to zero amounts of EFA’s in their junkfood diet.”
-Dr. Linda Page, ND


Nature’s Energy Secret is an amazing supplement naturally supporting the transport and absorption of oxygen throughout the body and especially the brain!

How to Outsmart a Stroke

an artists rendering of the brain with neurons firing

Ninety-nine percent of people who have a stroke don’t even know its happened, until they wake up in the hospital (if they wake up at all.) Blood to the brain gets choked off and damage is immediate.

If you do survive your first stroke, you are usually left with severe speech problems, crippled walking and arm/hand movement, along with brain fog due to the damage caused by lack of oxygen to the brain.

Recovery from a stroke is slow and arduous. While there are no short-cuts to developing new neural pathways, we do have an answer that can help – our top selling Mind Power Formula.

Along with the 103 other ingredients in this formula, that I call “The Einstein Pill”, is an amazing compound called Vinpocetine. I don’t know why doctors aren’t revealing this to everyone.

Vinpocetine has extraordinary effect on blood flow into and through the brain. Enhancing blood flow means your brain can outsmart the stroke before it strikes. Vinpocetine can help with memory enhancement, cognitive thinking capacity and helps keep your brain young and frisky.

What Is Vinpocetine?

European countries have long been using all-natural Periwinkle for aid in cognitive decline. From the seeds of the Periwinkle plant is extracted our amazing Vinpocetine.

A cerebrovascular accident, or stroke, is defined as the abrupt onset of a neurological deficit, which can be due to ischemia (lack of blood flow). Vinpocetine acts as Mother Nature’s pressure valve, to protect your brain when blood pressure spikes, putting your brain at risk for crippling strokes.

Research on Vinpocetine is vast. No significant side effects related to Vinpocetine treatment have been reported, so it is considered to be safe for long-term use.

Who Can Benefit?

Mind Power Brain Anti-Aging formulaMost of the published research about Vinpocetine focuses on memory enhancement and formation, cognition, reducing inflammation, stroke, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and cerebrovascular diseases.

Nearly everyone can benefit from Vinpocetine. Whether you are looking for simple memory improvement to serious disease assistance, Mind Power with Vinpocetine may help you.

This extraordinary formula dramatically increases oxygen flow to the brain to allow it to “think clearly”, while conducting high electrical thought patterns and increased volume of thinking.

Stress

Stress is a way of life in the 21st century, and for some of us, the effects go beyond feelings of anxiety and discomfort.

A little stress is good, heightening our immune and sensory systems, however prolonged stress raises cortisol, the body’s natural stress hormone, often leading to increased appetite or “Stress Eating”, causing weight gain over time.

What can we do to minimize the stress in our lives?

Relax and take time to listen to music or read a good book
Laugh with a friend
Pray or Medidate
Enjoy your family around the dinner table
Sleep more as it helps overall health in so many ways!

“Thank you for your amazing knowledge and understanding of health and wellness, and compassion for all your clients. I have been on the detox program for 6 days and have already lost 4 pounds! I am ordering additional products to continue for the full 30 days, and hope to convince my husband to begin the program, once he sees my success/results!

Thank you – I truly appreciate you.”

Rose Katsuki


Diet

After you finish your 14-Day Detox, you will no longer crave sweets or rich foods and will be ready to adopt a more whole food lifestyle.

Plant-strong eating is not just about eliminating meat and dairy – there are plenty of vegetarians who consume large amounts of sugar, white flour and processed foods. All of which contribute to weight gain.

Regardless of what we eat, simply ask yourself,

“Will what I am about to eat, promote my health, or take away from it?”

Meals That Heal is a collection of fabulous recipes Wayne Garland collected during his journey of healing from terminal cancer.

A fantastic beginners guide to plant-based eating, it is chock-full of meals that not only allow the body to heal, but to find and maintain an optimal weight.

10 -12 oz. of water, Almond, Coconut, Hemp or Soy milk

Exercise

Exercise is the one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself! Exercise reduces stress, increases energy, enhances your mood and boosts endorphins, the feel good hormones.

Regardless of what form of exercise you prefer, like the Nike slogan, Just Do It!

Make exercise a priority to your life. Do not allow anything to interfere with this time. At the very least, get out and walk briskly for 30 minutes. You’ll be glad you did.


After you complete the 14-Day Detox, you can add these formulas with your new lifestyle – and watch the pounds melt away!


Tolerance Stress-X is like water off a duck’s back! Take 2 capsules and nothing will bother you anymore. It’s a better than a glass of wine, and almost as good as roll in the hay for improving your mood!

Incorporating all-natural herbs with B-vitamins, Tolerance Stress-X brings a sense of calmness when life wants to overload you. Remember the 4 Vital Keys? Stress is the #1 on the list!

Age-Less contains a potent blend of adaptogenic herbs that promote a healthy inflammatory response in the body from physical and emotional stress.

While inflammation can temporarily be a good thing, prolonged or overactive inflammatory response prevents weight loss. Your body will not allow it.

Not only does Age-Less lower stress and inflammatory response, it helps you get deep, restful sleep, increasing your ability to live in our stress-filled, crazy world.

Night Time Fat Burner is the essential liver cleanse and weight loss supplement. Of course, it is 100% all natural, and turns your body BACK into the fat burning furnace it was meant to be.

Night Time Fat Burner supports your liver, not only to cleanse the blood, but also aids in processing proteins, fats and carbohydrates, synthesizing cholesterol, lipids, and more.

This formula allows you to lose weight while you are sleeping. How easy is that?

Garcinia ‘Chrom’ Bogia gets it’s power from the Garcinia Cambogia fruit, clinically shown to suppress appetite, inhibit fat production and increase fat burning.

Then, we added a highly, bio-available form of Chromium, the mineral responsible for maintaining blood sugar/ insulin levels and metabolism, and supports healthy body weight, and weight loss.

Only Super CitriMax® is clinically proven to support weight loss. And Chromium alone is ideal for weight loss because it ‘leans’ body fat into muscle.

Green Coffee Extract PLUS+ combines the fat burning and metabolism boosting benefits of unroasted, green coffee bean extract with Coleus forskohlii.

Unroasted, green coffee beans contain Chlorogenic Acid, a potent compound that inhibits absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, and boosts the release of stored fat to burn as energy.

Not all green coffee extracts are equal. We use Svetol®, the only Green Coffee extract clinically proven to support weight loss and fat reduction in double-blind, placebo controlled clinical studies.

15 Foods to Cancer-Proof Your Body

Vegetables at the market

My friend and colleague, Greg Ashby, who is a Health Coach on our team, has written an informative listing of foods that help in combating cancer in the body.

My experience in working with cancer has shown me that incorporating these types of foods and herbs, into your daily diet, can play a powerful role in supporting the body’s efforts to heal and thrive.  In fact, this entire company was founded on the premise:

“Food is Medicine”

We work tirelessly to share our philosophy of food’s ability to help in healing the body from all disease.

15 Foods to Cancer-Proof Your Body

Photo of Greg Ashby
Greg Ashby, CHHC, AADP lives in Ogden, Utah, is an Integrative Health Coach and Functional Nutrition Consultant, and has been in the Health and Wellness industry for over 20 years.

Because of his experience with Cancer, Adrenal and Thyroid disorders, he’s committed to Autoimmunity and Cancer prevention and management.  He enjoys studying the Psychology of Eating and Behavioral disorders.

While there are many healing foods available to us, here are 15 of the top herbs, fruits, vegetables and nuts to benefit you and your family by protecting you from chronic inflammation and possibly even disease.

1. Sea Vegetables, such as Arama, Kombu, Hijiki, Nori and Wakame (they sound fancy, but most can be found in the international food section of your local health foods market).

Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are risk factors for the genesis of cancer. Sea vegetables contain a variety of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds and this nutrient combination has been shown to deliver some risk-lowering benefits in the case of colon cancer and other cancer types.

2. Turmeric (the active ingredient is curcumin) has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative benefits on blood vessel tissue lining by suppressing inflammation and/or the effects of oxidative stress (think of oxidative stress as cellular rusting). Studies have shown that curcumin can reduce the formation of blood vessels in tumors called angiogenesis. Turmeric, especially curcumin, helps to prevent changes on a molecular level. When cooking with turmeric, use coconut oil and black pepper to enhance the uptake and benefits of curcumin.

Curcumin has been shown to have significant antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. New research shows that it can both shrink cancer tumors and inhibit blood supply growth to tumors. It is a powerful antioxidant with liver protective benefits.

3. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant found in red grape skins, pomegranate, raw cacao, peanuts, raspberries and mulberries, which are known to have numerous beneficial health effects. Resveratrol is a compound that contributes to the antioxidant potential of red grapes, and has antioxidant and antimutagenic (anti-cancer) properties.

4. Green Tea benefits come through water-soluble polyphenols (called  EGCG , or catechins) extracted from the leaves. Evidence shows that almost every organ system is benefited by these polyphenols.

Green tea offers cardioprotective, neuroprotective, anti-obesity, anti-carcinogenic, anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic, liver protective and blood vessel health benefits.

Research has shown beneficial effects are seen in doses of 3 to 5 cups of strong green tea as well as from 500 to 1000 mg of EGCG extract in supplement form taken daily.

5. Wasabi has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties as well as aid in detoxification and induction of death (apoptosis) of cancer cells.

6. Kimchi has been shown to have anticarcinogenic properties, as well as enhancing immune function.

7. Cruciferous Vegetables include broccoli, kale, cabbage and cauliflower.  These vegetables contain cancer-fighting components such as sulforaphane. One of the main targets of sulforaphane is  cancer stem cells, where it’s been shown to slow the growth of tumors.

8. Most all berries have a power-punch phytonutrient called anthocyanins, which research shows actually slows down the growth of precancerous cells.

9. Tomatoes contain power! The power lies in a carotenoid called lycopene, which has been shown to stop endometrial cancer cell growth as well as potentially other cancers. The trick is to use fresh, cooked tomatoes. The heating increases the body’s uptake of lycopene.

10. Walnuts contain phytosterols that block estrogen receptor cells in breast tissues, slowing growth.

11. Garlic may lower the risk of colon cancer by blocking a carcinogen called nitrosamines, a chemical compound that has been shown to  increase the risk colon cancer.

12. Beans may lower colon cancer risk by raising butyrate, a fatty acid, which has a protective effect against the growth of cancer.

13. Astragalus is a Chinese herb and an immune system booster known to stimulate the body’s natural production of interferon. It also helps the immune system identify rogue cells. Studies show that work with this herb in both cancer and AIDS cases is encouraging. The MD Anderson Cancer Centre in Texas conducted research showing that taking astragalus when having radiotherapy doubled survival times.

14. Cat’s Claw is an adaptogen and powerful immune-stimulant, cat’s claw enhances the white cells clean up process (phagocytosis). It is an excellent companion to astragalus, curcumin and echinacea. Research indicates that it can reduce tumor size particularly with skin cancers. It also helps reduce the side-effects of chemo and radiotherapy.

15. Medicinal Mushrooms have been known for centuries to contain cancer and disease preventing properties. Their particular area of focus is the immune system. They are anti-inflammatory, non-toxic and great for daily use.

Dynamic Duo to fight Arthritis Pain!

George Burns, the famous comedian, was once asked by Larry King in an interview if he had ever had arthritis? “Oh, yes, I was the first to get it,” Burns replied.

A funny joke, but in actual fact, Arthritis is possibly the world’s oldest disease. It has a myriad of forms and all are deadly, even fatal such as Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The Arthritis Foundation tells us that over 100 million Americans of all ages, even young children, suffer from Arthritis. That’s one out of every two people!

For over 20 years now, we have been helping people with joint pain and discomfort associated with arthritis, including related inflammatory conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus.

We see exceptional results starting with simple dietary changes, powerful ionic trace minerals, all-natural anti-inflammatory herbs and daily exercise. Eliminating dairy is an easy first step. Did you know countries with the highest consumption of milk, cheese, ice cream and butter also have the highest levels of osteoporosis and arthritis? Visit www.NotMilk.com to learn more.

Recently we uncovered research on an all-natural compound called Celadrin® that promises to rewrite the history books in the fight against all forms of Arthritis. Without dangerous drug side-effects. I won’t bore you with the scientific details behind this amazing compound here, but if you want to know more, read the article, How Celadrin Works.

“I dislocated my hip when I was 10 years old. The doctors told me I would get bursitis and then arthritis. They were right.

By the time I was 38, I was in constant pain. 15 years ago, I started taking Structural Lubrication and Bone Density. Within 3 months I was PAIN FREE! I went back to the doctor and they said the bursitis was GONE – all without using pharmaceutical drugs!”

Our FAB 5 Formulas

We asked our team to share with you our top 5 favorite formulas, and why they love them so much. What they take everyday might just surprise you. What are your favorite formulas?


a photo of Wayne Garland“It is more than difficult to choose a list of my FAB 5 formulas, as I am keenly aware of how efficient and effective every one of our formulations are.

Being pressed to choose, I believe my choices reflect the true core of all I dream of for our company, for you, and for the world!

Since my brain runs my body, I use Mind Power, and since the Greek god Zeus bestows fertility and passionate health, I use our men’s Zeus formulation.

There is a fantastic secret ingredient from Japan that keeps your heart and arteries totally unclogged, and so I use Nattokinase, and because there is a “secret stash” of all-natural energy in every capsule, I take Nature’s Energy Secret.

And these are all enveloped with the extraordinary power of the Miracle of Life itself.”

Wayne Garland, Founder/CEO


“Over the past 20 yrs, I’ve taken just about every formula we make, but now that I’m in my 50’s, my FAB 5 formulas are about slowing down the aging process.

We don’t talk enough about Supta Gluta, but I believe it is one of our most important formulas, repairing and rejuvenating cells from the inside. This cream contains Glutathione (the master antioxidant) and Superoxide Dismutase (enzymes that repair cells) that absorbs directly into the bloodstream for faster results.

Combining Supta Gluta with Miracle of life gives me the best chance to look and feel 10 years younger!

I have also experienced tremendous benefits from our Testosterone Boost transdermal cream. You can read more about my story here: “51 and in the Best Shape of My Life”

Nature’s Energy Secret and Age-Less are our other “best kept” secrets. I work out harder now, and recovery faster, than when I was in my 40’s – and without a doubt, these 2 formulas are a big factor.”

Dale Aychman, President/CFO


Image:  Pamela Van Zee“My daily regime consists of far more than just my FAB 5 formulas!  Selecting only 5 was no easy task.  They are all so great!

I begin each morning with Nature’s Energy Secret. My spin classes and crossfit workouts are NOT the same without it!

As I started to understand the role our gut plays in overall health  (even with allergies!), Pro-biotic MAX is a core formula for me several times a day.

Balanced Woman, Progesterone BOOST and DIM are ALL absolute musts for mood swings and hot flashes to stay at bay. They are greatly appreciated by my family as well.”

– Pamela Van Zee, Director of Sales, Our Community Kitchen


Image:  Lisa JonesI love my FAB 5 products because I am all about overall well-being.

I begin my day with Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex (because minerals make everything else work “better”).

Balanced Woman will be my life-long supplement, because I feel so good on it – no mood swings, no hot flashes – I just feel great!  My husband loves this formula, as well!  😉

For building my immune system, I love Ultra D3 because I never get sick!

I finish off my day with Age-Less and Good Night to help me get the rest I need!”

Lisa Jones, Customer Support


Image:  Greg Ashby“My #1 favorite product without a doubt is Miracle of Life, because who doesn’t want to live to be 100! It is such an extraordinary formula, and I use it as my daily multi-viramin and multi-mineral.

Age-Less helps me to age less, stress less and ache less.

Mind Power keeps me focused.

Immune Support, Pro-Biotic MAX, and TransformZymes (digestive enzymes) are super important for my immune system, and more importantly, for my well-being.

Greg Ashby, Certified Health Coach/Formulator


Image:  Connie Albright“There are so many products I love, it’s difficult to choose only 5!

The formulas I use without fail every day are primarily to help keep an autoimmune disease in remission.  There are others, like DELIGHT, our incredible skin care oil, that I use everyday as well – because personally, it’s the best body oil I have ever used!

I love Ultra D3 to boost the immune system and never miss a day.  If I miss taking it in the morning, I feel crummy all day!

I also use Candida Cleanse, Pro-biotic MAX and Super Curcumin to support a healthy gut and minimize inflammation in my body.  I use many other products as needed, but these are my favorite 5!  I wish I could have chosen 10!”

Connie Albright, Content Writer


Image:  DC Cook“My personal FAB 5 products were easy to choose!

5. The reason I like Mind Power is because of the extra focus that gives me when I’m studying or need  help getting in a focused mind state to start the day.

4. I add Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex daily to my food when  am cooking, especially with vegetables, rice and anything with a broth.

3. Since I’ve been taking Ultra D3 for the last 2 years I’ve gotten sick twice! Has helped my immune system tremendously!

2. Anytime I have pain, I use Relief asap. It penetrates deep into muscles for quick relief.

(Drumroll, please!) #1. Respiratory Lung Health has changed my life. I always struggled with my sinuses seasonally, but since starting this product, I’ve been able to breathe much easier throughout the year!”
