October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we want to remind you that you can take steps right now to lower your risk of this dreaded diagnosis.
1 in 8 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and according to the CDC, other than a few types of skin cancers, breast cancer is the #1 cancer among all women and it is the #1 cause of death from cancer among Hispanic women.
Close to 250,000 Americans are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and over 40,000 die of it.
Why is it that China and other Asian countries rarely see breast cancer?
It is because Asian cultures are geared toward living a healthier lifestyle – they rarely eat red meat and dairy, and their diets are primarily vegetarian. They walk everywhere and include additional exercise into their daily routine. Their stress levels are significantly lower than Americans, who have some of highest stress and anxiety levels in the world.
You can probably imagine what I suggest you do in order to lower your risk of breast cancer. First, you need to stop eating meat and dairy products. Second, you need to exercise – every single day! And take our Balanced Woman Formula.
When I was in China, I asked the professor at the Institute where I was studying why I had never heard any of the Asian woman discuss hot flashes, breast cancer, mood swings or PMS?
The Chinese women ate primarily vegetarian, drank pure soy milk – no dairy – and a special herbal tea called “Eternal Flame”.
As you can imagine, I seized the formula and ingredients for the tea, and brought them with me to America. Overnight, Balanced Woman was one of our top selling formulas and still is – because it works!
Absolutely NO pharmaceuticals are involved! No drug could possibly accomplish what Balanced Woman can. The ingredients in this formula are so powerful that China has one of the lowest rates of breast cancer in the entire world!

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!
You are probably familiar with traditional Alzheimer’s warning signs. www.alz.org lists these early signs and symptoms: memory loss that disrupts daily life, difficulty problem solving, planning and completing familiar tasks, confusion with places and times, losing things frequently, and experiencing changes in mood and personality.
But there are important, yet hardly known, potential precursors to Alzheimer’s.
I’ve shared with you repeatedly over the years the dangers of using anti-depressants and sleep medications. If they aren’t bad enough, there are drugs out there that attempt to combine them both and what they end up with is a chemical “Russian Roulette” cocktail.
In an article titled These Common Drugs are Giving You Alzheimer’s and published this month in The Institute for Natural Healing, a research publication, the authors talk about this new family of drugs – Benzodiazepines, or benzos – are dangerous in many ways.
Doctors are prescribing benzos in an attempt to treat anxiety, depression and insomnia in one extremely powerful little pill called Xanax, Valium, and Ativan – and not surprisingly, these little monsters are responsible for 35% of the 1.4 million prescription drug-related ER visits in one year alone.
According to the article, researchers discovered that taking these drugs for only 3 months can increase risk of developing Alzheimer’s by over 50%!
This is just astounding. And believe me when I say the drug companies aren’t going to be advertising the results of this study!
The researchers concluded that these medications should be declared a public health crisis – the longer the seniors in the study took these drugs, the greater the increased risk. The author’s of the article declared this to be a “direct threat to your health – even your life!”
These drugs are beyond dangerous, they are destructive to our brain and thinking capacity. Never take them. And if you are taking them now? Please contact our Healthy Living Support team and set up a consultation to find out how to immediately get off of these drugs safely.
And now the good news!
We’ve told you for years about natural ways to help prevent this horrific disease from ever affecting your life. Our anti-alzheimers formulas are
Mind Power, Omega 3-6-9 and Ultra D3. Combined, these three formulas can give you the edge against dementia and the traditional Alzheimer’s symptoms.
In this “Information Age,” the effects of stress overload the brain, wreaking havoc on our thinking ability. Mind Power is like an “Einstein-pill” that fuels the genius inside of you, allowing you to think faster, remember faster and deliver protection against the ravages of dementia and early-onset Alzheimer’s.
Research out of the University of Exeter Medical School recently discovered vitamin D3 deficiency raised the risk of dementia by 53% and severe deficiency – blood levels lower than 25 nmol/L – increased risk by 125%. And the news kept getting worse. Low vitamin D3 levels increased risk of Alzheimer’s Disease by 69% and the ones who were severely deficient, increased their chances by 122%! This study proves there is a direct link between low vitamin D3 levels and dementia/Alzheimer’s.
You need to take Ultra D3 every. single. day! Whether you are 25 or 85, it’s not too soon or too late to be giving your brain what it needs to stay healthy!
Omega 3-6-9 is a balanced blend of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) plus Omega-9, a non-essential, but beneficial fatty acid. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are necessary for the maintenance of your heart, nervous system and skin. Omega-9 promotes a healthy vascular system. EFAs are vitally important for brain health, as the brain consists primarily of EFAs.
For children labeled with ADD/ADHD and elderly experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms, try Omega 3/6/9 to supply the brain with the vital nutrients it needs.
We can’t guarantee you won’t ever get Alzheimer’s Disease, but we want you to have the best chance possible to never contract this dreaded illness.
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!
IN CONCLUSION: Whether you want to use preventative measures to avoid depression throughout life, or are struggling now with depression and anxiety due to emotional or physical triggers, we can help! Call our customer support team and find out which formulas are right for you. Or if you need to talk, please schedule a consultation with me or one of my team – We are all here to help you.
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.
“Rates of Stroke, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Childhood Obesity were found to be 70% higher in neighborhoods the closest to a fast food outlet.”
Our children are being subjected to a highly sophisticated, mass-marketing campaign to eat more junk-food and are becoming the sickest generation ever to live – all due to their diet.
Massively bankrolled propaganda campaigns devised by Madison Avenue, with battalions of research insight into the workings of a child’s mind, make the consumption of disease generating, sugar and fat-laden junk food a “wild and exciting adventure”.
mental disorders like attention deficit syndrome are at epidemic proportions
massive instances of obesity, leukemia, cancer, diabetes and heart disease
This is evidence of a vast decline in our children’s health and well being. Just look at the increase in school violence on a scale unheard of in my childhood – now totally commonplace.
Healthy diet for the body and mind is the only answer! Healthy food is the most important way to keep a child’s body and defense mechanisms working. Pathogenic organisms and viruses are everywhere. Not just in our junk food but also in our “junk TV”.
Unfortunately, most of us can take a trip to a school playground or local mall and count the number of skinny kids you can find. You’ll be lucky to find one. Most are dreadfully overweight, have early onset diabetes, heart disease and are a breeding ground for cancers.
These kids are eating themselves to death. They’re overfed and undernourished. You can help change that with our new Kids’ Gummiesformula.
We know you do your best to give your kids healthy food, but even your best efforts aren’t always perfect and that’s OK!
Our newest formula – Kids’ Gummiesformula – is developed to fill in the gaps of healthy food and give your precious ones a complete vitamin and mineral boost!
This yummy – gluten free – gummy has all the vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and other important co-factors to support children’s growth, strong bones, brain function, internal organs and heart health – basically, this formula contains every conceivable nutrient proven to help your kids grow big and strong!
Don’t wait to get this one! We’re not going to be able to keep it on the shelves! You may not resist sneaking a few of these healthy “treats” for yourself and even your teens will love them. In fact, don’t just get one bottle, why don’t you pick up two! “These are REALLY good…I can’t eat just one.” – Malik, Kansas City, MO
Robert Black Jr., Palm Desert, CA - Skin Cancer Free
If you had skin cancer, what would you do?
In the yet untapped underworld of alternative medicine, specifically oriented toward skin cancer and other skin disorders, one of the greatest discoveries of all time was in America.
The fabled, “Black Salve” was supposedly created by the Aztecs and passed onto the American Indian tribes a millennia ago to treat all skin diseases, even skin cancer. Black Salve worked near miracles for all of those fortunate enough to lay their hands on it.
I had personally heard of it along my own winding road of recovery and discovery and heard of a mystical healer, an old woman living all alone in a log cabin somewhere in the Rocky Mountains of upper Idaho.
As destiny would have it, a Chinese herbalist at the Oriental School of Medicine in Portland, where I was doing volunteer work, gave me the details to contact her.
A very close friend, Robert Black, Jr., discovered a tumor on his chest that had begun protruding grotesquely. He was refusing conventional surgery, radiation or chemotherapy treatments.
Robert had already seen a Harvard-educated Oncologist who described the procedures he would have to endure – as Robert puts it, “the old slice and dice routine.”
Robert decided to let his body heal itself and use all-natural treatments.
I badly needed to find this woman who I’d heard made this “Black Salve” that Robert needed.
Getting her help involved sending a handwritten letter, describing the patient’s problem and what their overall health condition was. Two weeks later we received a short note with payment instructions to her secret address in Idaho.
The money was sent and back came two jars of Black Salve.
Robert started applying it directly to his tumor. Within days, the tumor regressed and then regressed even more – until after just 2 months of applications, it was nearly GONE.
Sadly, along with Roberts tumor, the trail to the magical, miraculous Black Salve also disappeared. We heard the old lady had passed away and no amount of money could generate another jar and we gave up trying to find it.
As fortune would have it, the director of our manufacturing lab told us of another “Black Salve” from the wilds of the Brazilian jungle. Could it be true? Could it be as powerful? Could it work as sensationally as it had for Robert and so many others?
Today is a HUGE day for all those seeking natural answers to any serious skin condition. We are now able to manufacture this black salve ourselves – we call it RECLAIM!
RECLAIM Your Skin and Save Your Life
RECLAIM (formerly known as Rescue Your Skin) is part of our Skinny Dip Skin Body Care line and your first line of defense against those suspicious moles.
RECLAIM contains Columbian Coffee Extract (aka coffee black salve) and works on more than just skin cancer – it can work on age spots, skin blemishes, freckles and acne scars!
Our research has shown that a special extraction method on a particular type of coffee bean and then blended into a special cream formula has performed beyond expectations.
Unlike sunscreen which aids in blocking ultraviolet rays from absorbing into your skin, RECLAIM‘s coffee black salve works from inside the skin cells.
A report from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of multiple multiple human epidemiologic studies link caffeine with significant decreases in several types of cancer, including highly prevalent UV-associated skin carcinomas. Apparently the caffeine blocks the growth and development of cancer cells by causing them to kill themselves, a type of programmed cell suicide that prevents development of abnormal growths.
“We had a 50 to 70 percent inhibition of tumor formation in the mice that were treated with caffeine or EGCG (the chemical compound),” said the senior author of the study.
He also said that caffeine, unlike chemotherapy, apparently to act selectively causing the abnormal cells to die, but does not affect the healthy, normal cells.
RECLAIM wages war against age spots, skin blemishes and skin cancer. Using a unique extraction method, RECLAIM utilizes exceptional coffee bean extracts combined in a cream formula to battle your skin’s most apparent enemies.
Coffee beans contain many more chemicals than just caffeine. It has long been known that drinking coffee is not as unhealthy as one would expect based on the dangerous effects of caffeine. Recently, nutrition scientists have managed to unlock other anti-oxidants held within the tiny coffee bean and develop them into a skin-smoothing cream.
Along with coffee bean extract, RECLAIM contains an amazing combination of skin soothing and skin healing ingredients that not only help undue damage, but leave your skin shining and deeply moisturized. People will look at you and wonder if you’ve been on vacation!
RECLAIM contains powerful antioxidants that dramatically lighten age spots, freckles, sun damage, discoloration and uneven skin tones from any area of your body in as little as 4-8 weeks. Results may vary.
Do yourself a favor today and RECLAIM your skin!
* Caffeine has been found to block abnormal cellular growth and development.
* Topical use of caffeine does not carry any of the risks or side effects associated with the oral intake of caffeine.
Suggested Usage: RECLAIM is very concentrated so apply sparingly to the skin and massage gently. Product will turn white while massaging, then absorb into skin. Repeat after bathing. Use a minimum of 2x daily. Bottle Size: 4 fl. oz.

I am Audra Mathews and I am a 43 year old dental hygienist in the Atlanta area. The picture above is me with my beautiful niece, Emily.
Let me preface all the following with the fact that, in my past I was a competitive collegiate swimmer with a fondness of jogging and biking as a young adult; basically, I had a fitness filled life.
Then the problems started.
I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (thyroid condition), Benign Essential Tremor, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, unexplained enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits (complete with surgical removal and benign pathology), and an Epidermoid Cyst removal from my face. I have suffered for years with chronic wrist, neck and back pain, and last but not least, migraines.
Putting this in print, it reads: “one hot mess“.
Then in early 2013, I was introduced to Wayne Garland, Pamela Van Zee and the amazing supplements that changed my life. What a blessing. I began working hard to remove diet soda, meat, dairy, prescription medications and gluten from my life.
I seriously consider this a lifestyle change, not just a diet change.
Remarkably, the change to a vegan lifestyle has not been a difficult transition for me. One week I was literally eating meat at every meal and the next week I was meat free. I believe it was the cancer prevention approach that Wayne Garland introduced with these concepts that sealed the deal.
Over time, the symptoms diminished, and I experienced less work related pain and stiffness. The tremors almost entirely disappeared, and I had fewer migraines and I began to notice more energy!
In fact, I found myself with enough energy to train for a half marathon on Thanksgiving Day 2013. Awesome! I was on my way back to my youthful me
Now, let’s fast forward to spring of 2014, just a little more than one year from beginning these amazing supplements. I had experienced some financial difficulties that temporarily transformed my budget and completely run out of these products one at a time without the funds to replace them.
Little did I realize to what extent these supplements had transformed my life!
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.)
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.
Why is it that China and other Asian countries rarely see breast cancer?
