Sanoviv: Can It Help You? By Chris Dawkins

Sanoviv Medical Institute

Founder:Dr Myron Wentz

Sanoviv – meaning “Healthy Life.”
Sanoviv is a world-renowned, most advanced 21st Century State-Of-The-Art medical and research facility and medical hospital in the world...
Our diagnostics focus on the root cause of your illness, not the symptoms. Sanoviv is a toxin-free, breathtakingly beautiful, licensed medical hospital and health retreat with highly experienced, internationally trained medical professionals committed to treating your whole being: mind, body and soul…Sanoviv is the only hospital in the world to be certified in the Functional Medicine approach.
Treating the WHOLE BODY - NOT just the symptoms…

How is Functional Medicine Different?
Functional medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

Get Rid of…
• Most Cancers • Diabetes • Heart Disease • Lupus • Multiple Sclerosis • (MS) • Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency • CCSVI • Obesity • Parkinson’s Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Fibromyalgia •

“What they do in this breathtaking place does not happen anywhere else in the world. they are a truly integrated team of health professionals who assess and treat the whole human being. This is the medicine of the future. This can be yours today.”
Sanoviv Medical Institute is a fully accredited, leading edge medical facility, that blends state of the art 21st century medicine with an upscale luxury atmosphere.

At the core of the Sanoviv philosophy is the belief that the body has the power to heal itself when provided with the proper environment and is relieved of its accumulated toxic burden. It’s a remarkable haven that challenges conventional medicine, all the while respecting science and the wisdom of the human body.

Before I go into why EVERYONE should consider visiting Sanoviv Medical Institute, let me give you some of the background and details about why Sanoviv is special.
Sanoviv has created a non-toxic environment, nothing but the best is found here. During the creation of Sanoviv, it’s creator insisted on everything non-toxic and the use of non-toxic technologies. Building materials were requested for this special retreat- carpeting, paints, fabrics, electrical insulation, water purification . . . everything needed to build the facility, right down to the grout for the marble tile, is all created using the best the world has to offer in non-toxic materials. Two furniture manufacturing companies were contracted to custom-build the furniture and woodwork that would meet these uncompromising standards...

This is the old Levi Strauss mansion and the owner picked this site because he learned it had been built on a specific convergence of latitude and longitude that radiated a healing energy found nowhere else in the world.

When you stand on your balcony to your room at Sanoviv, you can watch the dolphins glide through the waves just beyond the cliffs, which will surely make you feel something stirring deep within the center of your being. Even the grass is special at Sanoviv! The lawns are pristine emerald! I can’t remember the story but, it was said that the grass was specially picked and flown in for its special organic species. This is what Laura Berry says about the grass, “I was blessed to have walked in the healing grass of Sanoviv…’ What a blessed and healing place.”

During your stay at Sanoviv, guests are provided with natural cotton clothes including comfortable sandals. No unnecessary chances are taken here. To prevent the possibility of being toxins into the facility, your “toxic clothing” is bagged and kept until your departure. Every guest suite features a private ocean-view balcony, marble tiled bathrooms and many offer companion rooms, because Sanoviv believes family and friends aid in the healing process.
The brilliant creator of the facility ‘Sanoviv’ is Dr. Myron Wentz.

“I dream of a world free of pain and suffering. I dream of a world free from disease.
Share my vision. Love life and live it to its fullest in happiness and health”

Dr. Myron Wentz is seen here winning the Albert Einstein Award in Isreal in 2007. Dr. Myron Wentz is the founder of Gull Laboratories in early 1970’s and USANA Health Sciences, Inc.1992 and SANOVIV Medical Institute mid 1990’s. He has built and funded two additional other hospital in Africa and South America for the children…

A world expert in growing human cells research, Dr. Wentz is the founder of Gull Laboratories where he invented the first commercially available test kits (Blood Test) for the diagnosis of infection disease with the Epstein-Barr virus, (aka Glandular Fever).

Visionary

“I find it tragic that the vast majority of people leave this earth too soon and spend too many of their years in pain and suffering. In a sense, we are living too short and dying too long. Chronic degenerative diseases are rampant throughout the world. Cancer accounts for one in every four deaths in the United States while heart disease is responsible for one in every three deaths. Only a small percentage of us will die of old age.
I recognized many years ago that optimal, cellular nutrition is key to maintaining long-term good health. Since that time, I have made it my life’s mission to help people live healthier lives through scientific research, advanced nutritional products, cutting-edge medical facilities and progressive humanitarian work. I believe that with the help of exceptional nutrition, people can live healthier lives, and I’m excited about sharing this
good news with others.” –Dr. Myron Wentz

What others have to say about Sanoviv: by Chris Dawkins
On March 3rd-10th, my brother, Tom and I (Chris Dawkins) decided to visit a medical spa in Mexico called Sanoviv. Sanoviv has had success dealing with misunderstood and misdiagnosed patients including Epstein Barr, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme’s disease, Parkinson’s, Systemic Lupus Eritematosus and other Chronic Degenerative and Immunologic diseases like cancer’s, diabetes and more…

There were people from all over the world visiting Sanoviv for their many different treatment and diagnostic programs… Sanoviv looks for the root cause of patients’ illnesses. The goal is to eliminate the cause as opposed to hiding the symptom with a drug. ..
Tom and I went through the Complete Diagnostic Assessment… I highly recommend this 7 night program. It included so many tests, treatments and educational classes that I feel completely in control of my health today.

______________________________________________________
Tom and I both learned how to better manage our health through lifestyle changes. I found out about some health issues that I didn’t know I had.
In addition, I learned that I had a urinary infection. It was not a serious one and could be treated with Usana Health Science’s Poly C supplement and 8 oz of cranberry juice twice a day for 3 days. It was also found that I had a glucose-Insulin Interaction due to a diet that had too many processed carbs. I met with my nutritionist and I have a large packet of information on foods to avoid and even a sample of meals to prepare.
My blood test also showed that I had low thyroid metabolism or hypothyroidism, which my father also had. To bring my levels up it was recommended that I add more Iodine, Selenium, Zinc, vitamins A,E,D,C and B complex. Dr. Mercado has me taking a product called Thyroid support complex by Pure Encapsulations.
In addition, I had a lot of acid and heavy metals that were found in my saliva, urine and stool samples. This is also due to years of poor eating, stress, environmental factors and other unnatural products that I have used on my skin. I had heard of cleansing over the years but I didn’t realize how important it is for our health. I did a lot of cleansing at Sanoviv with their strict diet, lymphatic massages, saunas, colonic and supplementation. My doctor sent me home with more instructions on how to cleanse further with a 30 day detox kit and saunas three days a week. Cleansing through bowel movements is only one way to cleanse. Our body releases a lot of toxins through the skin so sweating it out is a great way to release toxins. I have experienced some skin break outs during this process but I hope it will improve once I am finished.
I was also thrilled that Sanoviv was able to get rid of my plantars warts without the pain of surgery. My podiatrist at home said my 5 plantars warts were too deep to get rid of without surgery. I had been told by friends that the pain and suffering after surgery wasn’t worth it and they usually came back anyway. My Sanoviv doctor prescribed a solution that I was to apply directly on the wart twice a day with numerous coats. It took between 5-7 days for all 5 warts to fall off my feet. I took my socks off one night and there were chunks of skin with the wart right in it. It is amazing to think how simple and pain free this was.
….to be continued
I will include testimony from people who have be helped at Sanoviv with Cancer and other disease

Usana - New Glycemic Index Standard (GI) GLYCEMIC INDEX: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU? Low GI is very important for Diabetics... The glycemic index is a way of measuring the rate at which carbohydrates are broken down and appear in the blood as simple sugars. Those foods that result in a rapid rise in blood sugar have a high-glycemic index. Carbohydrates that are broken down slowly and cause only a moderate increase in blood sugar have a low-glycemic index. Some carbohydrates fall in between. High-glycemic foods provide quick energy, but it is usually short lived and hunger soon returns. Low-glycemic foods provide greater satiety and sustained energy, which makes eating less and losing weight easier. High-glycemic diets also have been linked to obesity, type II diabetes, insulin resistance, and heart disease and some cancers. Virtually all processed convenience foods and many meal replacement and diet products on the market today are unfortunately, high glycemic.3 and why you take the weight off, then it all comes back ‘plus’ more.

Poor Magnesium Status May Be Related To Metabolic

2010-11-17T17:04:00.000-08:00
Poor Magnesium Status May Be Related To Metabolic Syndrome
Nov 2010
Inadequate magnesium status is related to factors involved with metabolic syndrome, a risk factor for heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. In a recent study, lower magnesium levels correlated with an increased number of metabolic syndrome risk factors.

Metabolic syndrome has been defined as the presence of abdominal obesity combined with two of the following factors: hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, or diabetes mellitus. Magnesium is an essential cofactor for more than 300 enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

In a recent study, researchers enrolled 117 overweight and obese patients and measured serum magnesium levels together with fasting serum glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and triacylglycerols. Researchers found a strong inverse relationship between serum magnesium levels and the presence of metabolic syndrome. In addition, as the level of serum magnesium decreased, the number of factors relating to metabolic syndrome increased. There was also an inverse relationship between serum magnesium levels and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation).

The study authors concluded that decreased levels of serum magnesium are associated with increased risk for metabolic syndrome, possibly due to a low-grade inflammatory process.

Natural Medicine – A Cost Effective Way to Improve Health

Australians spend over $3.5 billion each year on complementary medicines and therapies, most commonly to assist in the management of chronic disease and improve health and wellbeing. Over the last twenty years, there has been a growing body of scientific knowledge on the efficacy of complementary medicine. A recent research study by Access Economics demonstrates the potential role that complementary medicines can play in improving the health of Australians in a cost-effective manner.

Research partnerships have increasingly focused on high burden of disease areas where mainstream medicine has yielded relatively poor results, particularly in the prevention and management of chronic disease, and towards enhanced results using a combination of complementary and mainstream interventions.

In 2009, the National Institute of Complementary Medicine (NICM) commissioned Access Economics to undertake a series of cost effectiveness studies of selected complementary medicine interventions where a reasonable body of evidence for safety and efficacy was available. These were:

Acupuncture for chronic low back pain;
St John’s wort for mild to moderate depression;
Omega-3 fish oils for secondary prevention of heart disease;
Omega-3 fish oils to reduce non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use in rheumatoid
arthritis; and
A proprietary herbal medicine for pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis.
The study report provided evidence that selected complementary medicine interventions represent cost effective treatment options for specific medical conditions.

Acupuncture for chronic low back pain was found to be cost effective if used as a complement to standard care such as medication, physiotherapy, exercises, and education. Acupuncture alone as an alternative to standard care provided a significant improvement in pain reduction for a short period. When comorbidity depression commonly associated with back pain was also taken into consideration, the benefits for both pain and depression were significantly greater than standard care alone.

Based on analyses of recent clinical trials, St John’s wort was determined to be cost effective compared to standard anti-depressants for patients with mild to moderate (not severe) depression.

Dietary interventions are commonly suggested by GPs following a heart attack. Where dietary changes cannot be made (or sustained) there is a clear role for the use of dietary supplements to provide the necessary dietary intake of EPA and DHA. Fish oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids are highly cost effective when used as an adjunctive treatment in people with a history of coronary heart disease, achieving reduced death and morbidity. These findings are consistent with other international studies.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a painful and often very serious inflammatory condition, characterised by pain, joint stiffness, loss of joint function and swelling. The whole body is affected, with inflammation causing an increase in risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. This study showed that there was a gain in quality of life through use of fish oils, however, was not cost effective in reducing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use in rheumatoid arthritis. The improvement in quality of life was achieved at a higher cost per DALY (disability adjusted life year) avoided than PBS-subsidized medications.

It should be noted that only direct health costs are included in the study analyses. Indirect costs (such as loss of productivity at work and cost for treating comorbidities) have been excluded. Cost savings would be expected to be higher if indirect costs were included in the analyses.

Good Digestive Health Just Got a Little Easier .

USANA’s Digestive Enzyme supplement is designed to support digestion and reduce the symptoms of occasional indigestion, including occasional heartburn, gas, and bloating. This powerful supplement encourages more complete digestion and absorption of nutrients.*

USANA’s Digestive Enzyme supplies supplemental enzymes that support the breakdown of dietary carbohydrates (including sugars and starches), fats, and proteins. It encourages more complete digestion and absorption of nutrients while supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes.*

Health Basics 
• Supplies enzymes to support normal digestion and optimal macronutrient absorption*
•  Helps relieve occasional upset stomach, indigestion, heartburn, gas, and bloating after eating a large meal* 
• Supports body’s natural detoxification processes*
What makes USANA’s Digestive Enzyme unique?
USANA’s Digestive Enzyme is unique in that it contains an enzyme found in the blend called lactase. Lactase assists in the digestion of food containing lactose. In addition, USANA’s Digestive Enzyme is different from others on the market because it contains spirulina, a nutrient-rich blue-green algae “super food” that contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll supports the body’s natural processes for eliminating toxins from the body*.

NEW! Fibergy® Plus

Cholesterol free and low in sodium, Fibergy Plus can be mixed with juice, water, or even Nutrimeal™ shakes, taking on the flavor of the drink you mix it with and providing 12 grams of fiber per serving. It is gluten, dairy, and soy protein free and promotes good digestive health and healthy bacterial growth.*

Health Basics
• Fibergy Plus is a flavorless fiber blend that you add to juice or Nutrimeal™ and is naturally a low-calorie option
• Contains 12 grams of dietary fiber per serving
• Promotes good digestive health*
• Gluten free, dairy free, and soy free‡
• May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease†
• Natural ingredients
Did You Know?
• Less than 10 percent of Americans get the recommended 21–38 grams of fiber in their daily diet.
• A diet high in fiber can help you maintain a healthy digestive system and great long-term health.*
Why Fibergy Plus?
The dietary fiber in Fibergy Plus not only promotes good digesting health and is important to the maintenance of heart health, but it aides in normal bowel regularity as well, which helps move wastes and toxins out of the colon quickly and efficiently. If the colon doesn’t function properly, wastes can back up and recycle through the body. The high fiber content in Fibergy Plus will also leave you feeling satisfied, making it easy to skip unhealthy snacks throughout the day. Diets high in soluble and insoluble fiber are important for digestive health. Fibergy Plus makes it simple to add the benefits of fiber to your daily diet.*

Antioxidant Power…

We hear or read about antioxidants on almost a daily basis but how many of us know what they really are? Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals1

Made using our innovative Nutritional Hybrid Technology, Proflavanol C100 combines USANA’s unique bioflavonoid supplement, Proflavanol, with a powerful dose of the immune system protection of vitamin C.*

Health Basics
• Clinically shown to promote sound cardiovascular health*
• Helps support balanced immune function*
• Vitamin C carries dual importance as the body’s premier water-soluble antioxidant and as a coenzyme essential for the synthesis and health of connective tissues and throughout the body*
• Supports eye health*
• Provides ingredients essential for maintaining healthy, younger-looking skin*
Did You Know?
• Grape-seed bioflavonoids and vitamin C work together to provide advanced antioxidant protection.*
Why Proflavanol C100?
With USANA’s unique formulation, Proflavanol C100 bioflavonoid supplement combines the highest quality grape-seed extract with the free-radical quenching power of vitamin C, giving you an important tool in the quest for lifelong good health. Laboratory studies done at USANA confirm that, when used together, these ingredients provide significantly better protection against the oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) than would be predicted from the sum of their individual effects.

=====================================================================================
NEW! Hepasil DTX™
http://www.usana.com/media/File/products/ANZ/0810_PIB_pgs1-55_LR_Part26_HepaPlus.pdf

Hepasil DTX is a comprehensive liver support formula to help promote and balance detoxification processes within the body. Newly reformulated implementing USANA’s Nutritional Hybrid Technology, Hepasil DTX now has an increased dosage to further support your liver health.*

Health Basics
• Milk-thistle extract provides dual action, stimulating liver enzymes and protecting against oxidative stress*
• Additional antioxidants from green-tea extract, olives, and turmeric provide further antioxidant protection*
Why Hepasil DTX?
Detoxification may bring to mind services like body wraps and foot baths, but spa treatments don’t do much for a stressed liver. And the liver can be pushed to its limits by alcohol, cigarettes, and even over-the-counter pain medications. If you are truly interested in detoxifying and supporting your liver long term, you may want to consider the help of exceptional nutrition. Hepasil DTX uses the benefits of milk-thistle extract to help stimulate enzymes in the liver. Various antioxidants like green-tea extract, Olivol®, and turmeric protect against oxidative stress.* And, Hepasil DTX contains advanced doses of other helpful ingredients like alpha-lipoic acid to further support the liver. So if it’s time to help support your body’s natural detoxification process, try the convenience and exceptional nutrition of Hepasil DTX.*

NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements Consumer Edition Review.

A condensed edition of the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, 4th edition, was released recently. This “Consumer Edition,” is meant for those that don’t need all the technical scientific information contained in the full edition. Briefly, this guide contains:
Ratings for over 1500 US and Canadian supplements and 500 Australia and New Zealand supplements...

Discussion of 18 critical Health Support Criteria
Graphical depictions for top-rated 4- and 5-star products
NutriSearch’s Gold Medal of Achievement award winners...
At first the creator, Dr. Lyle McWilliam,(along with 12 International Scientists) opens with the case for supplementation. Even though the American Medical Association (AMA) has now acknowledged that all adults need a supplemental daily multiple vitamin, many are uninformed of this information and the many further scientific reports that uphold the need of supplementation.

There is also a mounting anxiety among nutrition authorities that the Recommended Dietary Allowances,(RDA) established during World War II, are now way too low for the normal adult’s health needs....
The rationale for supplementation begins with an appreciation of the root cause of most prevalent disease. Dr. McWilliam discusses this root cause being oxidative damage and ensuing inflammatory events and documents how this can lead to major disease such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and many (if not mostly all) other degenerative conditions.

With this in mind, a methodology to rate and score commercially offered supplements is established. Dr. McWilliam assembled a panel of 12 top international experts, who have published one or more works on needed daily nutritional intakes and established a “blended standard” of daily adult requirements in order to evaluate the many products on the market.
Also, 18 critical Health Support Criteria including Completeness, Potency, Mineral Form, Bioactivity of Vitamin E, Gamma Tocopherol, Antioxidant Support, Bone Health, Heart Health, Liver Health (detoxification), Metabolic Health (glucose control), Ocular Health, Methylation Support, Lipotropic Factors, Inflammation Control, Glycation Control, Bioflavonoid Profile, Phenolic Compounds Profile, and Potential Toxicities are included at high level.
Top rated products (Gold Medal awards) are highlighted in two groupings: Single Product and Combination Product. A single product includes a multi-vitamin and mineral, whereas a combination product may include further nutritional elements, e.g., bioflavonoid or phenolic compounds.

The top rated Single Products were:
1) USANA Health Sciences (Essentials) – Editor’s Choice

2) Creating wellnessAlliance (Vitalize Men’s, Women’s and Senior Women’s Gold)
3) Douglas Laboratories (Ultra Preventive IX, IX with vitamin K, X)
4) TrueStar Health (TrueBASIC Solo)

The best Combination Products were:
1) USANA Health Sciences (HealthPak 100 US and CA) – Editor’s Choice
2) Douglas Laboratories (Daily Essentials and Longevity Support Pack)
3) TrueStar Health (TruBASICS Plus for Men and Women)

We highly advise this guide for consumers who acknowledge the mounting dangers in our surroundings and who are seeking the best products available. The full edition is recommended for those who need all the scientific details and evidence backing up this report. A children’s multi-vitaman evaluation is also available in the “Comparative Guide to Children’s Nutritionals,” which compares over 160 US and CA products and 500 Australia and New Zealand supplements...

Vitamins and Minerals: What you need to know by Harvard Medical School

2010-08-14T16:41:00.000-07:00
Vitamins and Minerals: What you need to know by Harvard Medical School

Understanding how vitamins and minerals interact in our body gives us a valuable means of taking our health into our own hands. Research into the effects of these micronutrients has been enlightening.

For example, we now know that a large fraction of Americans are not getting enough vitamin D, and the range of consequences may be far greater than we thought.
Recent studies suggest that vitamin D does more than help build strong bones; it may help to prevent hypertension, certain types of cancer, and some autoimmune diseases. We also believe, with an increasing degree of certainty, that getting enough folic acid can counteract some of the adverse effects of consuming alcohol.
Researchers are constantly making such discoveries, and often their findings have far-reaching effects. But it’s worth keeping in mind that while nutrition research can yield powerful answers, it also raises new questions.

Nutrition is endlessly complex, and the research is invariably in a state of flux. Not only do nutrients interact with one another (making it difficult to isolate their effects) but they also interact with genes, drugs, and even lifestyle factors. For some nutrients, such as selenium, there’s a narrow range between too little and too much, and that amount varies from person to person This Special Health Report provides the latest evidence and mineral and vitamin information so that you can make healthy choices about what foods to eat and what supplements to take.
Because nutritional science continues to evolve, this report also contains tips on how to judge new studies on vitamin benefits and put the findings in context.

13. Glossary
What’s special about vitamin D? This fat-soluble vitamin is exceptional among vitamins in three ways. First, it has a unique mechanism of action in the body. Second, you can’t get very much of it naturally through your diet. And third, many Americans are deficient in this vital nutrient. That final point is keenly important, in light of burgeoning evidence that vitamin D’s health benefits extend far beyond its reputation for building healthy bones. Over the past decade, studies suggest that adequate amounts of vitamin D may lessen the risk of several types of cancer (including cancers of the colon, prostate, and breast) and may also play a role in preventing high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, and even schizophrenia. And a 2007 meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials showed that vitamin D supplementation may even help people to live longer.
How D is different
Unlike other vitamins, which are antioxidants or key players in enzyme reactions in the body, vitamin D functions in the body as a hormone—that is, a substance made by one organ that sends a chemical message to another organ to elicit a specific response. One of vitamin D’s best-known and important roles is to signal the intestines to absorb calcium into the bloodstream. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body will break down bone to get the calcium it needs—no matter how much calcium you consume through food and supplements. Vitamin D is also unusual be- cause it’s relatively scarce in normal diets. To get just 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D (the current recommended daily amount for people ages 50–71), you’d need to eat about 5 ounces of salmon, 7 ounces of halibut, 30 ounces of cod, or a 6-ounce can of tuna, or drink four cups of milk. Few people include that much fish—or milk, for that matter— in their daily fare. Milk actually doesn’t normally contain vitamin D, but nearly all the milk sold in the United States today is vitamin- D fortified. This practice began in the 1930s to combat rickets, a disease that leads to soft, weak bones caused by vitamin D deficiency. It’s worth noting that dairy products made from milk, such as cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, aren’t typically fortified with vitamin D and contain only small amounts.
In fact, casual exposure to sunlight provides people with most of their vitamin D requirement (see Figure 5). Sunlight contains two forms of radiant energy, ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). UVB provides the energy your body needs to generate vitamin D, which is why it’s known as the “sunshine vitamin.” If you sit outside on a sunny day in the middle of summer at the equator wearing only a swimsuit, your body creates a whopping 20,000 IU of vitamin D per hour. But even people who don’t sunbathe or spend a great deal of time outside probably generate a fair amount just walking outside for short periods throughout the day, depending on the latitude and the amount of skin that is exposed. However, a number of factors—including the season, time of day, and where you live—can affect how much UVB reaches your skin. What’s more, your age, skin color, and sunscreen use also influence your skin’s production of vitamin D. A confluence of these factors can conspire to limit vitamin D levels, which is why a surprisingly large number of Americans—more than 50% among certain groups—are deficient in vitamin D.

VICKS VapoRub - INTERESTING Article

2010-08-14T16:31:00.000-07:00
VICKS VapoRub - Very INTERESTING

Dont know who wrote it but it works

During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils.

Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.

Some of us have used Vicks VapoRub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks VapoRub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines.

In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly

Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemicals in them.

This method of using Vicks VapoRub on the soles of the feet was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bed time. In addition it seems to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes.So she went from; every few seconds uncontrollable coughing, she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.

If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be amazed at how it works.

DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOSE IS YOUR COUGH..

The all-important nutrient, Vitamin D

2010-08-14T16:04:00.000-07:00

Vitamin D for Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Crohn's Disease

"Believe it or Not: 80% of Your Immune System is Actually in Your GI Tract"
When looking to effectively promote your immune system health, you need to look no further than your intestinal tract. Learn about a great way to start promoting your digestive health and overall health as well.
To get on the track toward building a solid foundation for your best health, I believe the best place to start is where good health begins – in your digestive tract.*
And the best way I’ve found is by introducing billions of tiny microflora (good bacteria) into your digestive system through the use of high quality probiotics.* Putting back the good bacteria in the gut...
What happens is that the good bacteria go to work keeping your entire digestive system working at its peak while boosting the health of your immune system in the process.*
How do I know? Because scientific research shows that 80% of your immune system actually lives right in your digestive tract...

The all-important nutrient, Vitamin D, may help to reduce some of the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, new research suggests.
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University note that "Anecdotal data suggest that the amount of vitamin D available in the environment either from sunshine exposure or diet may be an important factor affecting the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in humans."

They decided to test the theory in animal experiments by using mice genetically predisposed to develop symptoms resembling human IBD. The mice were separated into 3 groups.
• One group was made vitamin D deficient
• Another group was kept vitamin D sufficient
• Another group was supplemented with active vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol).
Vitamin D deficient mice rapidly developed diarrhea and a wasting disease, leading to death.

The vitamin D sufficient mice did not develop diarrhea, didnt waste or die.
However, mice who received the active vitamin D supplement had their symptoms of IBD significantly reduced in as little as 2 weeks. It also blocked the further progression of the disease.

Journal of Nutrition. 2000;130:2648-2652
This form of vitamin D is only available as a prescription and it is called Rocaltrol. It is typically used for kidney failure patients as that is where the second hydroxylation occurs to make the pro hormone vitamin active to the real hormone vitamin D.
For those with inflammatory bowel disease who are not responsive to the eating plan this might be something to consider. Additionally I have seen some patients with IBD improve with Probiotics.

My Own Story

2010-08-11T17:24:00.000-07:00
I Barbara, lost my health in what was supposed to be the prime years of my life.
I was only 45yrs, fit, active and healthy and enjoying life with my husband James (Jim) our three teenage sons, then my world was turned upside down.
As a result, my career, my family suffered along with me. Traditional medicine and alternative treatments could offer very little to alleviate the intense pain & suffering, or to help me function better... I had tried everything I was shown, you name it I tried it to get off these prescription drugs, but nothing helped…

What happened was I went into hospital in 1990 for a minor operation and came home with a Medical Misadventure Lumbar Spinal injury L3/L4 and L4/L51 and Spinal Stenosis down right side. I was not able to walk without help or crutches, not able to stand up straight because of the pain and had to use prescription drugs 6xdaily, including morphine capsules’ an another tablet to stop the sick feeling I got from the morphine when required just to move, as the pain was so intense in lower back, hips, right leg and foot, I could not take a deep breath without pain...

Then in May 2001 I was introduced to Usana Health Science. Yes I was sceptical after trying everything else that had not worked...I was told by spinal specialist I was heading for kidney problems if I didn’t get of these prescription drugs...
Within 6 weeks from starting the Usana Wellness Program, I had eliminated my dependency on prescription drugs; my spinal specialist could not believe this...I was told I no longer have that pain look on my face, which was unknown to me... Then by three months, I was standing straight for the first time in eleven years and able to walk without crutches…

What I did was start the ‘Usana Wellness Program’ which I still use to-day...

The Usana products have changed my life for the better in both health and finances; I am so passionate about these products now.

I'm not saying these products or any other products are a cure for any illness or disease... Just that giving your body what’s required to work its own magic, as the human body is quite amazing so we are learning...

YES, I still have my Lumbar spinal injury and spinal Stenosis and will for the rest of my life... I am required to have regular medical checkups as I can still have trouble when the Spinal Stenosis kick’s in when walking too much, but very little pain if any these days, unless I do something stupid which I have been known to do, because I feel so good I sometimes forget I have a injury and do more than I should…

Understanding -A New Concept in Nutritional Medicine: Is the first step to prevention and recovery
Most people truly do not understand the concept of cellular nutritional medicine and fewer yet understand the concept of cellular nutrition, I was one of those people until 6 years ago. James and I have since studied nutritional health and the role of supplements in helping to improve your health. I guess it is about and assisting the body to recover by itself if given the right tools, 100% potency-guaranteed Pharmaceutical nutrients/Vitamins/supplements & Antioxidants, (not food standard supplements/products) Prescription drugs only reduce my symptoms temporary; they do not treat the cause...
But helping the body to sort out its own problems is a more effective and lasting solution...

I now enjoy a level of health today that I never imagined possible.

I am so very proud and grateful to be associated with the calibre of company and quality of people that is the USANA family.

Besides the True Health & True Wealth that my family & friends now enjoy...
Both my husband James and I have derived such personal growth and formed such valuable partnerships and friendships around the world, we are truly RICH in every way!

I sincerely invite you to openly try these products for yourself.

Pure Rest™ Sound Sleep
Explains what Pure Rest is and what it does, as well as how it works
Pure Rest is a fast-acting melatonin supplement that promotes the body’s natural sleep and wake cycles. Research shows that getting enough sleep can help people feel energized, be more productive, and even increase their odds of living healthier lives. While asleep, the body’s cells and tissues have the opportunity to recover from the previous day.
Many of the body’s major restorative functions occur almost entirely during sleep, including tissue repair, muscle growth, and protein synthesis. Additionally, sleep is required to maintain normal brain and immune function.
Antioxidant Support
• By promoting sleep and inactivity, melatonin allows the body’s natural antioxidant defences to overcome the oxidative stress that accumulated during the day’s activity. Melatonin also acts as a free-radical scavenger, stimulating the activity of several antioxidant enzyme systems in the body.
Immune Function
• Melatonin becomes especially important as we age because daily melatonin production cycles stimulate immune cell synthesis and function, a process that naturally declines as we get older.
Pure Rest: What Makes It Work?
• Pure Rest contains 2 mg of melatonin in a dissolvable, orange-flavored tablet.
• Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that promotes sleep and helps regulate the body’s natural sleep and wake cycles.
• Sleep provides numerous health benefits, including defense against oxidative stress and maintenance of a healthy immune system.
Pure Rest: What Makes It Better?
• The melatonin in Pure Rest is ultra-pure.

Your Nutrition Is Essential - When you think about it, how strong is your foundation of health?

By adding essential nutrients and antioxidants to your daily diet, you can experience both an increase in energy and an overall sense of well-being. The USANA® Essentials™ supplements are designed to work together to build a strong foundation of exceptional nutrition.

The USANA® Essentials with Patented Olivol: The Most Complete Multivitamin System on the Market

The USANA® Essentials, which include Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral, form the basis for the entire USANA nutritional system.
The Right Ingredients (Comprehensive Formula)
USANA has redefined the meaning of essential nutrients to include not only those that are required to prevent acute nutrient deficiency, but also nutrients that have been linked in recent research to the maintenance of various aspects of optimal health.* The research continues to indicate the benefits of higher iodine and vitamin D. With this in mind, the Essentials are now upgraded:
• Vitamin D daily dosage is increased from 600 IU to 1800 IU

Asparagus - the more I read the more it makes sense - can't hurt. Just take a few minutes and its worth reading.....whether U believe it or not.....
Three types of asparagus on a shop display, with white asparagus at the back and green asparagus in the middle. The plant at the front is Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, is commonly called wild asparagus...

Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article, entitled,
`Asparagus for cancer' printed in Cancer News Journal, December 1979. I will share it here, just as it was shared with me:

"I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years. Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked with him on his project, and we have accumulated a number of favorable case histories.
Here are a few examples.

Case No. 1, man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise.

Case No. 2, a successful businessman 68 years old who suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.

Case No. 3, a man who had lung cancer. On March 5th 1971 he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it. By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared. He is back at his regular business routine.

Case No. 4, a woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed by a skin specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine and no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition. She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus.

I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements of materia medica', edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones. We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy.

For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh. I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Giant Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives. Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator. Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening. Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink. This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.

As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent'. Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals. We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups.

The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink. As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer.

Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic. In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good." It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.
Comments: Exactly who Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. is, and what his qualifications as a cancer and nutrition expert are, we do not know, for the simple reason that his name doesn't appear anywhere in print except in connection with this one online article.
The periodical in which it was allegedly published, the Cancer News Journal, no longer exists, but apparently devoted itself to "alternative" cancer therapies. An article with the identical title ("Asparagus for Cancer") and similar if not identical content appeared under the byline "Karl Lutz" in the February 1974 edition of Prevention magazine.

In any case, contrary to the impression given above there are no peer-reviewed medical studies proving that eating asparagus alone "prevents" or "cures" cancer. That's not to say asparagus offers no cancer-fighting benefits whatsoever — there's a good chance it does, given that it contains vitamin D, folic acid, and the antioxidant glutathione, all thought to play some role in lowering risk factors for certain cancers. By all means, eat your asparagus!

The thing is, lots of other foods provide the same nutritional benefits and more besides, so emphasizing one particular vegetable over all the other health-promoting foods available is surely counter-productive. Generally speaking, medical experts recommend a diet high in fiber, fruits and vegetables and low in fats and nitrates for optimal resistance to cancer.

At the risk of stating the obvious, it should also be noted that dietary measures ought never to be regarded as a substitute for proper medical diagnosis and treatment of any disease, especially cancer.

USANA - Live Well Raw Mango Jicama Salad with Sunflower & Pumpkin Seeds
Don't you just love summer? I love the warm days and evenings and find myself drawn to lighter, yet really flavorful foods during the summer months.

Here is a raw, amazingly healthy salad that I make at least once a week as the sweet, sour combination is perfect for "cooling" summer lunches or dinners.
It’s quick and easy to make and I double the recipe to have extra – the salad will last a good 3-4 days in the fridge. Leftovers make a yummy quick snack, and
for an additional quick meal, just add spinach and/or romaine leaves.

Live Well Raw Mango Jicama Salad with Sunflower & Pumpkin Seeds
Serves 4-6
Jicama is a crispy, sweet, edible root that resembles a turnip in appearance, but tastes like a cross between an apple and a potato. Cultivated in South America for centuries, and popular in Mexican cuisine, jicama is great in salads, salsas and vegetable platters. It’s a great source of Vitamin C, is fat free, and contains lots of water and fiber – making it a wonderful on the go snack.

Jicama perfectly complements the juicy mango and smooth cucumber in this salad and the vitamin c in the jicama and mango help the absorption of iron from the sunflower and pumpkin seeds, which are great sources of plant protein. You have everything you need in this salad – low glycemic carbs, protein, Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) and fiber!

Ingredients:• 1 medium jicama
• 1 mango
• 1 medium English cucumber
• 1 lime – juice and zest
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar
• 2 tablespoons USANA’s OptOmega Oil
• 1/3 cup raw sunflower and pumpkin seeds
Recipe:
1. Peel the mango, jicama, and cucumber. Cut into bite-size pieces and place them in a large bowl.
2. Squeeze lime over mixture, grate zest, add agave and USANA Optomega Oil*.
3. Sprinkle sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Add sea salt to taste. Toss to coat.
*I use USANA’s OptOmega Oil for any salad that calls for oil. USANA’s OptOmega Oil is the most comprehensive “Essential Fatty Acid” oil blend I’ve seen on the market, as it contains extra-virgin olive oil, vitamin E, turmeric, rosemary, flax, sunflower, pumpkin seed. And it tastes amazing in salads because of all of the above, with a slightly nutty flavor.

In addition, it provides the perfect ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids (crucial for cardiovascular health, immune function, anti-oxidant protection, mental acuity and healthy skin). The EFA’s in the USANA OptOmega Oil are the GOOD fats that help you lose weight – counterintuitive, I know :-) Amazingly good for the body and tastes great – try it one time and you’ll never go back to just plain Olive Oil.

Note: USANA’s OptOmega Oil is an organic, cold, expeller pressed oil (great for vegetarians and vegans as well) – so you don’t want to heat or cook with it. Only use for salads, smoothies and cold recipes – cooking destroys the fragile oils.
To order USANA’s OptOmega Oil at wholesale prices, login to your USANA account or contact your local USANA Representative.

Vitamin D Deficiency is Why You Get Flu - deficiencies of the sunshine vitamin, which is being promoted for everything from the prevention of cancer to reducing heart attack risk.Vitamin D Deficiency is Why You Get FluPosted by Dr. Mercola | March 25 2010
A new study has confirmed that vitamin D plays an important role in activating your immune defenses against infectious diseases like the flu.
Vitamin D deficiency has already been linked to a wide spectrum of diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, autoimmune disease and many others.
The new study discovers that activation of T-cells to fight infections needs definite help from vitamin D. When a T cell recognizes foreign invaders like bacteria or viruses, it sends activating signals to the vitamin D receptor gene. The VDR gene then starts producing DVR protein, which binds vitamin D in the T cell. Then the vitamin D bound and activated DVR produces PLC-gamma1 protein -- which allows the T cell to get started fighting the infection.
Dr. John Cannell has also reported that vitamin D helps produce antibacterial peptides that help protect against the flu. That is why in winter, when there is little sunshine, people are more prone to vitamin D deficiency and getting infected with flu viruses.
Statscan finds widespread vitamin D deficiency in Canadians

Survey says 2 out of 3 Canadians have less of the nutrient than the latest research suggests is necessary
The most comprehensive survey ever undertaken on vitamin D in Canadians has found widespread deficiencies of the sunshine vitamin, which is being promoted for everything from the prevention of cancer to reducing heart attack risk.
The survey, conducted by Statistics Canada, found that two-thirds of the population has vitamin D levels below the amounts research is associating with reduced risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, while one in 10, or more than three million people, have such low readings that they don’t have enough for good bone health. About 4 per cent have so little that they’re at risk for rickets, a debilitating childhood bone disease.
Statscan also found a huge vitamin D disparity among Canadians based on racial origin, with whites having substantially higher concentrations than the prevailing levels in the country’s growing non-white population. Whites had an average of nearly 40 per cent more of the nutrient than non-whites.
It termed low levels of the vitamin a “worldwide problem,” and said most Canadians don’t have concentrations at “the level proposed for optimal health.”
It said some of the biggest factors in low vitamin D readings were being non-white and consuming a smaller amount of milk, which is fortified with the vitamin.
Gerry Schwalfenberg, an assistant clinical professor in the department of family medicine at the University of Alberta, said testing showing that “60 to 70 per cent [of Canadians] have inadequate levels [is] not good,” given that vitamin D insufficiency is being linked to so many chronic diseases
The research from the Statscan, conducted as part of a broad analysis of the health of Canadians, is likely to add to the controversy over the adequacy of current advice on the amount of Vitamin D people need to consume each day.
Health Canada, in conjunction with U.S. government agencies, set a recommended daily intake in 1997 based on the relatively low amounts needed for good bone development. The new data indicate that a substantial number of Canadians aren’t getting enough even for this purpose, let alone the far higher levels suggested for the prevention of chronic diseases.
The recommendation also doesn’t differ based on skin type, one of the most important determinants of vitamin D levels. People make most of the nutrient circulating in their bodies themselves, in bare skin exposed to strong summer light – hence the sunshine nickname. Non-whites make less because their skins have more pigmentation, a natural sunscreen.
Health Canada is reviewing whether its advice needs to be revised, but the results aren’t expected until this summer.
In the meantime, many doctors and some public health groups, such as the Canadian Cancer Society, have been advising people to take larger amounts as a precaution, although Health Canada doesn’t endorse this and some medical professionals worry that vitamin D is being overhyped and say its possible benefits need to be further confirmed in drug-style clinical trials.
Statscan deemed readings of 75 nanomoles/litre or more as optimal, based on research showing people with amounts below this threshold appear to be at increased risk for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, heart disease and multiple sclerosis, among other ailments. A nanomole per litre is a count of vitamin D molecules in a litre of blood. But the agency also cautioned that there is scientific uncertainty about this figure, as did Health Canada in a statement.
“There is currently a lack of consensus on the levels considered to be associated with adequacy, inadequacy and deficiency,” Health Canada said.
The average white person had 71 nmol/L, modestly under the purported optimum threshold, while non-whites were far lower, at 52 nmol/L, Statscan found.
Researcher Kellie Langlois said the sampling wasn’t extensive enough to discover whether there was a difference among South Asian, black and Chinese Canadians, or whether non-whites were disproportionately found among those at risk for rickets or poor bone health.
The low levels in people of non-European ancestry worry researchers.
Reinhold Vieth, professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto, said people with readings below 50 nmol/L may have so little of the nutrient that their bodies will scavenge calcium from bones to meet other metabolic needs.
Health Canada says Canadians should take from 200 to 600 International Units of vitamin D a day for good bone health. A cup of fortified milk contains about 100 I.U., while a typical multivitamin has 400. But some researchers say this amount is woefully inadequate. Dr. Schwalfenberg says vitamin D’s anti-cancer benefit “probably begins at 90 nmol/L. That would require at least 3,000 I.U. a day to achieve.”
Vitamin D is needed to properly absorb calcium and phosphorous, but nearly every cell has receptors for it, and it is involved in the proper functioning of hundreds of genes.
Statistics Canada tested the vitamin D in blood from about 5,300 people aged 6 to 79, a sample group it said was representative of the vast majority of Canadians. About half of 1 per cent had readings over 220 nmol/L, indicating high sun exposure, high use of supplements or tanning lights. No one had levels above the 375 nmol/L considered potentially toxic.
Vitamin D: Most Canadians have adequate concentrations
About 5% of men and 3% of women aged 6 to 79 were considered vitamin D-deficient. The highest prevalence of deficiency occurred among men aged 20 to 39, about 7% of whom were considered vitamin D-deficient.
Vitamin D is a nutrient that helps the body use calcium and phosphorus to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. When it is deficient, the body absorbs very little calcium. Deficiency in children can cause nutritional rickets, a condition that results in soft bones and skeletal deformities. In adults, low levels of vitamin D can cause osteoporosis.
The survey found that the vast majority (90%) of Canadians aged 6 to 79 had concentrations of vitamin D in their blood that were considered adequate for bone health.
Conversely, 10% or roughly 3 million people had concentrations considered inadequate; of these, 1.1 million were considered vitamin D-deficient. Men were more likely than women to have inadequate concentrations.
For both sexes, levels of vitamin D followed a U-shape by age group: highest among children and seniors, and lowest at ages 20 to 39. Levels tended to be higher among women than men.

Message from Denis Waitley: In Celebration of Total Domination

2010-07-31T02:57:00.000-07:00

In Celebration of Total DominationMessage from Denis Waitley:
According to Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, the word dominate literally means “to rule, to govern, to tower over others, and to rise high above the surroundings.”
Am I suggesting that USANA does all that? Yes.

USANA Health Sciences Did You Know USANA Epitomizes Total Domination2

Or click here: http://media.usana.com/livemeeting/?id=ven136

As the first decade of the 21st Century comes to a close, all USANA Associates, managers, scientists, and support staff have genuine cause for celebration. It is now becoming apparent that USANA Health Sciences, Inc., is not only an enduring, major growth company—it is the dominant leader in its arena.

According to Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, the word dominate literally means “to rule, to govern, to tower over others, and to rise high above the surroundings.” Am I suggesting that USANA does all that? Yes. That’s the way I see it from my perspective, and I’ve had some experience in observing dominant individuals, teams, and companies during my 40-year career as a student/teacher of high-performance human behavior.

During the early 1960s, I worked for Ampex Corporation, which invented the video tape
recorder and dominated both the video andaudio equipment market for many years. During the late 1960s, I worked closely with Dr. Jonas Salk, the developer of the first effective polio vaccine, and his prowess as a scientist led me to a lifelong relationship with one of his younger peers, Dr. Myron Wentz. Also, during the late 1960s, I had the privilege of conducting seminars for NASA’s astronauts who were embarking on the most ambitious national mission ever undertaken: the Apollo Moon program.

During the early 1970s I was on the sidelines as the Miami Dolphins dominated consecutive seasons and the Superbowl. And throughout the 1980s, I participated in mental training of our Olympians who dominated the Summer Olympiads throughout that decade. My role in these past milestones was no more than an asterisk compared to the contributions made by the star performers themselves. But my point is this: I have been a witness to greatness.

Since the mid-1990s, fortune has once againsmiled upon me through my association with
USANA. Having record-setting results year after year, the company has reached cumulative Revenues of over $3 billion, and I’ll stake my reputation on predicting that within a few short years, USANA will reach the billion-dollar-a year mark. This is not the result of good luck.

If success was based on luck, Las Vegas would be a ghost town! True success is based on quality and a value proposition. What Toyota is to autos, Apple is to hand-helds, and Google is to data search, USANA is to nutritional and health-care products.
Make sure every new person you meet gets a look at USANA’s accolades list. You can’t
buy those endorsements with advertising dollars. Third-party accolades are earned
by performance.

The key to USANA’s domination is in the quality of the people whose hearts are as big
as the vision they pursue. As you count your blessings around the fireplace hearth as autumn turns to winter, make your own personal dream as big as your imagination can preview. See yourself and your team as dominant players in USANA and the marvelous game of life.

Vitamin D deficiency is now recognized as a world-wide problem with health consequences.

2010-07-31T02:30:00.000-07:00

Vitamin D deficiency and Health Consequences
Vitamin D deficiency is now recognized as a world-wide problem with health consequences. The major cause of vitamin D deficiency is the lack of appreciation that sun exposure in moderation is the major source of vitamin D for most humans. Increased skin pigmentation markedly reduces vitamin D synthesis. Inadequate dietary intake, winter season, latitude, aging, medication and certain medical condition are also associated with increased risk of vitamin D deficiency.

In Australia, a dramatic increase in skin cancer rates resulted in the promotion of sun-safe policy to avoid exposing the skin to direct sunlight without sun protection, i.e., clothing or sunscreen. This message has resulted in a marked increase in the risk of vitamin deficiency in Australia. Studies suggest that upwards of 30–50% of children and adults worldwide are at risk of vitamin D deficiency.

Very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, which is found in small quantities in foods such as fatty fish, Liver, and eggs. Foods that are fortified with vitamin D are often inadequate to satisfy either a child’s or an adult’s vitamin D requirement.

Vitamin D deficiency can have musculoskeletal and nonskeletal consequences.
•It causes growth retardation and rickets in children and will precipitate and exacerbate osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fractures in adults, and other bone disorders
•It has been associated with proximal muscle weakness, increase in body sway, and an increased risk of falling
•It has been associated with increased risk of common cancers, autoimmune diseases, hypertension, and infectious diseases
Mild vitamin D deficiency is defined as serum 25-OHD levels in the range 25–50 nmol/L
Moderate vitamin D deficiency is defined as serum 25-OHD levels of 12.5–25 nmol/L
Severe vitamin D deficiency is defined as Serum 25-OHD levels of < 12.5 nmol/L.

A circulating level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D of >75 nmol/L, or 30 ng/mL, is required to maximize vitamin D’s beneficial effects for health. In the absence of adequate sun exposure, at least 800–1000 IU vitamin D3/day may be needed to achieve this level in children and adults. To treat moderate to severe vitamin D deficiency, supplementation with 3000-5000 IU/day for 6–12 weeks is often recommended.

Vitamin D Supplementation Inhibits Age-Related Bone Loss In Older Women
New research shows that vitamin D supplementation can reverse normal age-associated bone loss in postmenopausal women, which can lead to a reduced risk of osteoporosis and other bone disorders.
Until recently, it was unknown whether improving vitamin D status (without changing calcium intake) could have a positive effect on bone turnover.
New Zealand Researchers at Massey University recently measured the effect of vitamin D supplementation on markers associated with bone turnover in women known to be vitamin D deficient <20 ng/mL.
Participants were South Asian women at least 20 years of age. The women were categorized by age and menopausal status, and then randomized to receive either 4,000IU of vitamin D or a placebo every day for 6 months.

In the women who received vitamin D supplements, average vitamin D blood levels increased from 8.4 ng/mL to 30 ng/mL. Additionally, measured bone markers either stayed the same or decreased in postmenopausal women who received vitamin D supplements, indicating a potential reduction in bone turnover. In postmenopausal women who received placebo, markers associated with bone turnover increased. In younger, premenopausal women, no significant bone turnover change was reported for either placebo or supplementation group.
This research confirms that correcting vitamin D deficiencies in older women can suppress age-related increases in bone turnover, which also helps reduce bone resorption (the process by which bone breaks down and releases its minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone into the blood).

Advanced Doses of Vitamin D Are Required To Achieve Optimal Vitamin D Status

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays multiple roles in human health. The importance of vitamin D in calcium metabolism and bone health is well recognized but more recently, its role in cardiovascular health, immune function, glucose metabolism, and cell differentiation and proliferation have been defined.

It is well established that vitamin D deficiency leads to rickets in developing children but more current research has also linked vitamin D deficiency with osteoporosis, osteomalacia, impaired muscle function, infection, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and some cancers in adults. Vitamin D deficiency is now recognized as a common problem worldwide. The major cause of vitamin D deficiency is the lack of sun exposure and that very few foods provide adequate level of vitamin D.

In the latest USANA clinical study in collaboration with Linus Pauling Institute, scientists investigated the effectiveness of moderately high daily doses of vitamin D3 on increasing circulating levels of vitamin D during winter, spring, and summer seasons.

19 healthy volunteers, with average intake of vitamin D (supplements and diet) between 800-1000 IU/day, were randomly divided into either treatment or control (placebo) groups. The treatment group was given a daily supplement providing 4000 IU of vitamin D3 (by USANA Health Sciences, Inc.) during winter season. The control group received a placebo tablet. Both groups took their supplement/placebo daily for 12 weeks and circulating levels of vitamin D were measured every 4 weeks. From week 16, a subset of the treatment group went on to be supplemented with 2000 IU/day of vitamin D into the spring and summer seasons.

This study found that supplementation with an additional 4000 IU/day of vitamin D during winter increased circulating levels of vitamin D by 4 weeks to within the optimal range and maintained the for the duration of the treatment. The subset of subjects who went on to receive 2000 IU/day during the late spring and summer were able to maintain their optimal vitamin D status. The authors concludes that continuous intakes of vitamin D at advanced level are needed to obtain optimal circulating levels of vitamin D above 50ng/mL throughout the entire year.

A Higher dose of vitamin D reduces the risk of falls in Nursing home residents

Elderly nursing home residents have a high risk of falls and are often deficient in vitamin D. Fall-related fracture and injury is a serious problem affecting the quality of life and cost of healthcare for these elderly nursing home residents. Effective interventions to reduce falls are needed in those at high risk of falling.

To determine the effect vitamin D supplement doses on falls risk in elderly nursing home residents, 124 nursing home residents (average age 89) in a 725-bed long-term care facility were randomly assigned to receive one of four vitamin D supplement doses (200 IU, 400 IU, 600 IU, or 800 IU) or placebo daily for 5 months. Number of fallers and number of falls were assessed using facility incident tracking database.

Over the 5-month study period, the proportion of participants with falls was 44% in the placebo group (11/25), 58% (15/26) in the 200 IU group, 60% (15/25) in the 400 IU group, 60% (15/25) in the 600 IU group, and 20% (5/23) in the 800 IU group. Participants in the 800 IU group had a 72% lower adjusted-incidence rate ratio of falls than those taking placebo over the 5 months. No significant differences were observed for the adjusted fall rates compared to placebo in any of the other supplement groups.

This study indicates that nursing home residents in the highest vitamin D group (800 IU) had a lower number of fallers and a lower incidence rate of falls over 5 months than those taking lower doses. Adequate vitamin D supplementation in elderly nursing home residents could reduce the number of falls experienced by this high falls risk group.

Prevention of nonvertebral fractures with oral vitamin D

A doos-response relationship between vitamin D and fracture reduction is supported by epidemiologic data showing a significant positive trend between serum 25-hydroxvitamin D concentrations and hip bone density and lower extremity strength.

To assess the amtifracture efficacy of oral vitamin D supplementation in the elderly, a recent study performed a meta-analysis on the efficacy of oral supplemental vitamin D in preventing nonvertebral and hip fractures among older individuals (> or = 65 years). This study included 12 double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for nonvertebral fractures (n = 42279) and 8 RCTs for hip fractures (n = 40886) comparing oral vitamin D with or without calcium, with calcium, or placebo.

The meta-analysis found that antifracture efficacy increased significantly with a higher dose and higher achieved blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels for prevention of both non-vertebral fractures and hip fractures. The higher dose (>400IU) reduced nonvertebral fractures in community-dwelling individuals (-29%) and institutionalized older individuals (-15%), and its effect was independent of additional calcium supplementation.

CONCLUSION: Nonvertebral fracture prevention with vitamin D is dose dependent, and a higher dose should reduce fractures by at least 20% for individuals aged 65 years or older.

TOSH and USANA Health Sciences Launch New Vitamin Studies

Can Vitamin D Reduce Muscular Weakness in Healthy, Active Adults? Researchers Also Examine Role of Vitamin C & E Role in Knee Injury Recovery

7/20/2010

MURRAY, UT (7/20/2010) – Can something as a simple as a vitamin supplement help your body recovery more quickly from the pain and stiffness associated with vigorous exercise, or even improve recovery from surgery? Researchers at TOSH–The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in Murray and USANA Health Sciences, Inc. of Salt Lake City are hoping to answer these questions with two new studies focused on vitamin supplements.

In the first study, Tyler Barker, PhD., a physiologist at TOSH, and Brian Dixon, PhD., a senior scientist at USANA, are hoping to determine whether vitamin D – most recently championed as a means to prevent or reduce a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease – can reduce post-exercise muscular weakness in young, physically-active people.

“The implication here is that vitamin D will help shorten recovery time by minimizing muscular weakness,” says Dr. Barker. “That could make a significant difference in an individual’s performance and help them avoid some of the unpleasant after-effects of vigorous or unaccustomed exercise and establish the basis for future studies conducted at the molecular and cellular level.”

Dr. Barker classifies the study participants as “weekend warriors,” ages 18 to 45 years old, who are not taking any vitamin supplements. The athletes are randomly divided into three groups: one is given a placebo, the other two groups receive either 200 IU or 4000 IU (international units) of a specially formulated vitamin D (cholecalciferol) supplement.

Study participants will provide several blood samples and muscular strength measures prior to and following intense exercise. Dr. Barker says researchers are only testing study participants during the winter months when a person’s vitamin D levels are at their lowest levlels. The study is expected to run for two to three more years.

The second study involves patients at TOSH with ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries. Investigators are hoping this study helps them find a complimentary therapeutic approach for improving muscular strength in post-surgical patients.

“Recent research discovered an association between plasma ascorbic acid concentrations prior to surgery and muscular strength gains after surgery,” says Dr. Baker. “Specifically, patients with higher levels of vitamin C in their blood before ACL surgery are showing greater strength recovery after surgery.”

According to the National Institutes of Health, the human body needs vitamin C to produce collagen - which is used to create skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels – as well as to heal wounds, and repair and maintain healthy cartilage, bones, and teeth.

Vitamins C and E are both antioxidants – nutrients that slow the aging process and help our bodies eliminate the excess free radicals that accelerate aging. Dr. Barker says lowering oxidative stress and increasing vitamins E and C to adequate and safe levels in the body may improve recovery following ACL surgery.

Participants in this study are all TOSH patients being treated for ACL injuries. Two weeks prior to their surgery, their blood is tested for vitamin C and E levels, and then each leg is separately tested for strength. Patients are given a placebo, customized vitamins E and C, or a multi-vitamin/mineral (USANA Essentials). Patients will supplement for a total of 18 weeks: starting 2 weeks prior to and conclude 16 weeks after surgery. Single leg strength and blood measures are tested again several times – at two, three and four months post-surgery.

“We hope that our studies will provide evidence-based results that identify complementary therapeutic approaches for patients recovering from ACL surgery,” says Dr. Barker. “The idea that we can use vitamin supplements to build strength and improve physical rehabilitation is provocative. Through the collaborative research efforts between USANA and TOSH, we are positioned to advance the body of knowledge regarding complementary and alternative medicine approaches in diverse human conditions.”

In both studies, USANA is providing custom and existing supplements (i.e., USANA Essentials) with designated and certified levels of purity and potency. This is crucial, Dr. Barker says, because of the lack of oversight by some supplement manufacturers. Many supplements can have significantly more or less of the active ingredient than the label suggests.

“At TOSH, we appreciate and feel extremely fortunate for the collaborative research relationship established with USANA Health Sciences and the Research and Development department therein,” says Dr. Barker. “In a scientific setting, it is important to know exactly what you are studying and what you are providing to subjects/patients. USANA Health Sciences provides remarkable scientific and research support, pharmaceutical grade supplements, and quality assurance of individual ingredients”.

Dr. Dixon notes that USANA uses the highest quality raw materials in their manufacturing process and takes great pains to ensure their final product meets the highest standards.

“TOSH’s reputation proceeds itself,” says Dr. Dixon. “We are proud to be working together on these projects. TOSH has the ability to assess muscular-based end points with distinct clinical applications to patient recovery, whereas USANA examines mechanisms predominantly at the molecular and biochemical level. Working together, we should be able to identify if alterations at the molecular or cellular level improve clinical- and functional-based outcomes in patients.”

Besides providing the supplements for both of these studies, USANA is also providing a partial funding to the Vitamin E and C study in ACL patients.

The Deseret Foundation at Intermountain Healthcare is funding both the Vitamin D and Vitamin E and C studies.
Persons who are interested in taking part in the studies can contact Dr. Barker at TOSH at 801-314-4951.

Deconstructing MLM Pay Plans

Author: Len Clements
Email: marketwave@cox.net

Compensation plan design goes way beyond just picking how many levels you're going to pay and how to divvy up the percentages. In fact, compensation theory as it relates to MLM is an evolving, every expanding goulash of mathematical, psychological, artistic, and historical factors. Even most professional compensation plan designers have taken little time to study and understand all this (there are a few rare exceptions), let alone those independent distributors who are, for the most part and in large part, basing their MLM careers on the quality of their chosen compensation system (yes, the quality of one's products should be the dominant decision making factor, and there is certainly a trend over the last few years in that direction, but alas, that's still the way it should be, not the way it is). The vast majority of MLM compensation plans today are an ill-conceived hodge-podge of bits and pieces of other pay plans that the designers, usually the company founders, just thought were cool.

Little, if any, regard is given to how the components work together synergisticly, what they are suppose to incentivize, how appropriate they are for the types of products being offered, how well they've worked in the past, and in way too many cases what it will cause the plan to pay out now, and in the future. Many pay plans today were developed with little more study than who's hot, what kind of plan are they using, and how can we make it just different enough to not look like we copied them?

Fortunately, the compensation plan isn't the most important factor. Indeed, it is arguably not even an important factor at all! As history has shown us countless times, even a poorly designed, or just weak paying, pay plan can still generate substantial incomes. And conversely, pay plans with potentially superior pay outs routinely fail.

Think of every compensation plan as a big machine. In one end flows product volume, and out the other comes your commissions and bonuses. After all, isn't that what a compensation plan is supposed to do -- convert sales volume into commissions?

Today it seems every MLM company out there is doing everything they can to convince us that their machine is more efficient at this process than everyone else's. To show off their compensation machine they paint it with pretty colors, add flashing lights, loud sirens, and all kinds of other fancy bells and whistles. They change the shape and size of the machine, add various accessories and attachments, and sometimes they'll even connect two or three types of machines together. They'll give them bold, exciting names, make them customizable, and sometimes they'll even claim they've patented their machine (of course, the patent is always "pending").

About the only thing they don't offer is a lifetime warranty! All of this effort to create the perception that their machine works better (translation: pays more), than anyone else's. Do they?

Probably not.

Looking at this issue from the most macro view, the plain and simple truth is that if you were to put the exact same amount of product sales volume into 90% of the compensation machines out there, just about the same amount of commissions would come out the other end. The vast majority of them are paying out bonuses and commissions around 45% of every commissionable dollar coming in, give or take 5%.

Many prospects today judge a pay plan by doing little more than adding up all the percentages on all the levels, assuming the highest sum must be the best paying. It rarely is. In fact, the total percentage pay out, the number of levels a plan pays, and even the plan type (Breakaway, Unilevel, Binary, and Matrix) are not the most important factors to consider when comparing pay plans. What are? Good question.

There are two things that most determine how well a compensation machine is going to work in actual practice (forget theory -- they all make you rich on paper). First, and most important, is how much sales volume is going into the machine. Your machine could be designed to pay 20% down each of ten levels and not a penny will come out the other end if nobody buys anything. Two hundred percent of zero is zero! Sales volume is the fuel that runs your compensation machine. No fuel, no compensation -- I don't care how many levels it pays or what the total payout is. The sales volume producing potential of the product line is the primary factor when judging the income potential of an MLM opportunity.

The second factor you should consider is the payout "weighting". That is, how and to whom the commissions are being paid at various stages in the plan. For example, let's assume two MLM companies with 10,000 distributors pay $1-million to the field in commissions and bonuses. In other words, both compensation machines produce the same result, although their mechanisms may be very different. However, one machine distributes $100,000 to the five top distributors, and $50,000 to ten others, and nothing to the other 9,985 (this would be a "back weighted" plan). The other plan pays $200 to all 5,000 distributors (a "front weighted" plan).

Although both plans are paying out the exact same amount (50% of $1,000,000) they each offer you a very different income opportunity (the examples used here are intentionally and extremely exaggerated). If you are among the 86% (based on a ten year MarketWave survey of over 6,700 distributors) who's "primary" income goal isn't to get rich, but rather to make enough to quit your job and comfortably live off your residual MLM income (they try to get rich later), over half the pay plans offered in the US today are not designed to optimize that potential level of income (that is, they are not "middle weighted" plans). And likely over 90% of the reps in those MLM programs don't even know it. In fact, based on a more recent MarketWave survey of generally more experienced networkers, 34% of them have never even heard the term "pay out weighting" before!

What's even more disconcerting is the realm of compensation theory designed to manufacture well hidden "breakage." That is, income which the plan was suppose to pay out but instead was retained by the company. Or, those designed to create illusionary income. That is, income you receive in theory, but usually never receive in real life. It's the "smoke & mirrors" school of MLM pay plan design. Have you ever heard the saying "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with BS"? Sometimes I think the guy who made up that line was an MLM pay plan designer.

For example, did you know that the ability in some unilevel and matrix plans to "double dip", that is, enroll your spouse, or even yourself, on your own first level, will likely cost you more income than you will gain from the extra position? Did you know that binary plans that allow you to place reentry positions above your original position have no greater potential for income than those who require a downline placement and can even cause your income to increase at a slower rate? Did you know that a plan that pays 10% down six levels (60%) can easily create a smaller commission check than one that pays 9% down five levels (45%) even if you have more wholesale volume in the six level plan? Did you know that "infinity" bonuses never pay down to infinity, or that "no flushing" binary plans always flush?

This is the kind of stuff I'm going to be covering in future articles. This installment is more of an overview of things to come. And don’t worry, I'm not going to spend a lot of time dragging you down into the minutia of compensation theory, you won't have to take a crash course in calculus, nor will I even attempt to compare the pros and cons of the various comp plan types (a subject already covered, ad nauseam, by a hundred other MLM authors with 100 different outcomes). I'm going to render down the whole "let's compare comp plans" game to only those aspects that really matter. And, much like a renegade magician who's been ostracized by his pears for revealing how the trick works, I'm going to expose how all the compensation plan tricks work. My hope is that, like revealing the secret behind an illusion, it will lose its power to persuade.

Vitamin D deficiency and Health Consequences - Nutrition News Feb 2010.

2010-02-26T19:06:00.000-08:00
Nutrition News Feb 2010.________________________________________
Vitamin D deficiency and Health Consequences

Vitamin D deficiency is now recognized as a world-wide problem with health consequences. The major cause of vitamin D deficiency is the lack of appreciation that sun exposure in moderation is the major source of vitamin D for most humans. Increased skin pigmentation markedly reduces vitamin D synthesis. Inadequate dietary intake, winter season, latitude, aging, medication and certain medical condition are also associated with increased risk of vitamin D deficiency.

In Australia and New Zealand , a dramatic increase in skin cancer rates resulted in the promotion of sun-safe policy to avoid exposing the skin to direct sunlight without sun protection, i.e., clothing or sunscreen. This message has resulted in a marked increase in the risk of vitamin deficiency in Australia and New Zealand... Studies suggest that upwards of 30–50% of children and adults worldwide are at risk of vitamin D deficiency.

Very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, which is found in small quantities in foods such as fatty fish, Liver, and eggs. Foods that are fortified with vitamin D are often inadequate to satisfy either a child’s or an adult’s vitamin D requirement.

Vitamin D deficiency can have musculoskeletal and nonskeletal consequences.
• It causes growth retardation and rickets in children and will precipitate and exacerbate osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fractures in adults
• It has been associated with proximal muscle weakness, increase in body sway, and an increased risk of falling
• It has been associated with increased risk of common cancers, thyroid , autoimmune diseases, hypertension, and infectious diseases
Mild vitamin D deficiency is defined as serum 25-OHD levels in the range 25–50 nmol/L
Moderate vitamin D deficiency is defined as serum 25-OHD levels of 12.5–25 nmol/L
Severe vitamin D deficiency is defined as Serum 25-OHD levels of < 12.5 nmol/L.

A circulating level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D of >75 nmol/L, or 30 ng/mL, is required to maximize vitamin D’s beneficial effects for health. In the absence of adequate sun exposure, at least 800–1000 IU vitamin D3/day may be needed to achieve this level in children and adults. To treat moderate to severe vitamin D deficiency, supplementation with 3000-5000 IU/day for 6–12 weeks is often recommended.

Probiotic Plus™. Maintaining your digestive health is crucial for maintaining your overall health!
Gut Wars! Sometimes you might feel like your gut is a war zone.It’s quite scary what’s going on in the medical world re the digestive system/gut and disease…
All the good healthy gut flora has been distorted or destroyed from the chemicals in our foods, water and prescriptions drugs, hence the reason why so many people get bloated and bowel problems and disease, like cancer diabetes, and many other health problem as mentioned below which is growing daily worldwide she said…
Probiotic Plus helps removes all the toxin from the bowel/ digestive track and can help with - Crohn's Disease – (IBS) Irritable Bowel syndrome – Leaky Gut Syndrome - and many other digestive/stomach problems, and by placing all
the healthy gut flora/good bacteria back into the digestive track/gut can help to prevent some of these disease…

Got told most of these disease were never heard of back in 1960 and earlier.. But have increase every 10years two fold where by our children are now getting these disease’s... As all the digestive track/colon touches every organ inside us, except the brain… so we were told, by Dr Tim Wood & Monica, hence the reason why most disease’s starts in our digestive track…

Use One Probiotic Plus™ Sachets every second day for 1 month and again every 6 months to keep topped up… mix in cold drinks (Not Warm or Hot)
We both started last Wednesday with our Nutrimeal drinks …

By Dr John Cuomo: Probiotic Plus In the past few years, Maintaining digestive health and a healthy Immune System have become TOP CONCERNS for consumers worldwide.
Fortunately those two concerns can be addressed by the same solution used Usana newest product PROBIOTIC PLUS...

And in a manner of speaking, it is—it’s the place where the fight for good health can be won or lost.

The digestive system is responsible for providing many essential nutrients to the entire body and for supporting the body’s natural defenses against illness-causing invaders. Overrun with bad bacteria,one digestive system is in need of aid. Follow the adventures of the Probiotic Plus squad as they help restore happy harmony to a gut in distress.*
This digestive system has been compromised by natural aging, a poor diet,
and a recent course of antibiotics that depleted the friendly bacteria in the gut. Now, it is teeming with too many bad bacteria, which are disrupting the digestive process, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, and impacting the immune system.*
The Probiotic Plus squad, two specific strains of probiotic bacteria delivered in a
mildly sweet powder, journeys to the digestive system by being mixed and ingested with cold or room-temperature food or drink. They join forces with the naturally occurring good bacteria that are already in the gut. A healthy balance is re-established, bringing peaceful order back to the digestive process.
As calm returns, our heroes get to work aiding the digestive system. Now
functioning effectively, the digestion process breaks down the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are consumed so they can be absorbed by the cells, helping to fend off nutritional deficiencies and re-energize the body with the nutrition it needs. And, thanks to the Probiotic Plus squad’s normalizing effects on the digestive process, the bowels are working regularly to eliminate any waste from the body efficiently.*
Because up to 80 percent of certain immune cells are concentrated in the gut,
the Probiotic Plus squad pays special attention to keeping the immune system healthy. The intestinal tract can encourage healthy bacterial growth and defend against the onset of illness through promoting proper nutrient absorption.*
Meet the Probiotic Plus Squad... USANA’s Probiotic Plus is comprised of a unique 50/50 mixture of Bifidobacterium, BB-12® and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, LGG®— two strains of probiotic bacteria that have been clinically proven to romote a natural balance of beneficial microflora in the gut. Verified to supply 12 billion Colony Forming Units (CFU) of viable bacteria—a level shown to be effective in clinical studies—the Probiotic Plus strains are the best documented to survive transit through the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach to colonize the intestines.

Vancover Winter Olympic Games
Team USANA Day 10: Big Night for US Speedskating
What a night for American speed skaters.

US Speedskating's Apolo Anton Ohno captured bronze in the 1,000 meters on Saturday, surpassing speed skating legend Bonnie Blair for the most all-time medals by an American winter athlete.

"It feels amazing, especially in a sport as volatile as short track speedskating," Ohno told NBC following the race in which he made winter sports history. "No regrets. I'm happy with the race and I left it all on the ice."

Ohno's historic showing came hours after US Speedskating teammate Shani Davis skated to silver in the 1,500 meters. It's Davis' second medal of the Games.

Speed Skating Canada's Charles Hamelin and Francois Hamelin also advanced to the finals with Ohno in the 1,000m, but both missed the podium.

Be sure to check out Alan Bergstrom's latest blog post about how positioning presents possibilities — in short track speedskating and in life.

USANA Founder Dr. Myron Wentz Receives Albert Einstein Award

2010-02-21T14:13:00.000-08:00

USANA Founder Dr. Myron Wentz Receives Albert Einstein Award, (Only 15 given worldwide)
Dr. Myron Wentz, founder, chairman, and CEO of USANA Health Sciences was honored 25 June 2007 at a special ceremony in Jerusalem with the Albert Einstein Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Life Sciences.

The Albert Einstein Award, given by Global Capital Associates, salutes leaders whose vision and commitment have contributed to the critical advancement of vital medical life-saving and life-enhancing technology to benefit mankind. Dr. Wentz received the award in recognition of his many scientific and charitable endeavors.

"I am honored and humbled to receive an award that bears the name of Albert Einstein," Dr. Wentz said. "As both an extraordinary scientist and dedicated humanitarian, he serves as a great inspiration for my life's work, helping people lead healthier lives through nutritional science."

Dr. Wentz is an internationally recognized microbiologist, immunologist and pioneer in the development of human cell culture technology and infectious disease diagnoses. In 1974 he launched Gull Laboratories, which developed groundbreaking viral diagnostic assays, including the first commercially available test for diagnosing infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. Dr. Wentz sold his controlling interests in Gull Laboratories in 1992 and founded USANA Health Sciences, a state-of-the-art manufacturer of science-based nutritional supplements and personal-care products. Most recently, he founded Sanoviv Medical Institute, a holistic medical facility with full hospital accreditation located in Baja California. He holds a Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from the University of Utah.

Today Dr. Wentz is increasingly focused on his humanitarian and charitable endeavors, recently founding the Wentz Medical Centre and Laboratory in Uganda and the Wentz Medical Centre in Cambodia to serve children in those countries orphaned by diseases such as malaria and HIV. Dr. Wentz was a recipient of the Children's Champion Award by Children's Hunger Fund, for which he travels worldwide as a medical missionary.

Achieving Inner Health - Feeling Good, Looking Great

2010-02-21T14:07:00.000-08:00
Achieving Inner Health - Feeling Good, Looking Great /Healthy-living
http://www.usananz.co.nz/Healthy-living/

Have you ever heard the saying 'what you put in is what you get out?' Well the same goes the body and mind. The way we look and feel is determined by what we put into ourselves from a nutritional perspective as well as a spiritual and emotional one. Energy levels, mood, concentration and brain function are all affected by nutritional intake. These things are also significantly affected by how we feel emotionally.
How you feel on the inside is reflected in the mirror. If you're feeling unhealthy on the inside, then chances are your hair, skin, teeth and nails are telling that story too.
Inner health is the key to looking, feeling and functioning the way we would like to consistently in our lives. The reality is though that it is not always easy to achieve. When the pressures of modern life kick in the first thing that goes out the window are the promises we made to ourselves.
If you're like most New Zealanders then you understand how the responsibilities we have in life can often be counterproductive to achieving inner health. Most of us work, parent or study full time, some of us do all three making time one of the greatest limitations to maintaining regular activities that feed the body and mind. Even maintaining a healthy diet is challenging at times when it's often easier to give in to the temptation of fast food.
So what do you need to be putting in to get what you deserve from your body?
• Give your body what it needs - make sure you have the recommended daily intake of water (8 or more glasses) and the recommended 5 plus a day fruit and vegetables.
• Listen to your body - there will always be areas of our diet we fall short nutritionally; your body knows what it's missing. If your feeling tired all the time perhaps you need a high quality multi-vitamin and multi-mineral and if you're missing out on fruit in your diet try some vitamin C.
• Cut the Junk - cut down on your intake of caffeine, sugar and foods with high fat content. Energy drinks high in sugar, fast food and sweet fixes are all short term solutions that will have long term effects on your inner health.
• Take time out - achieving inner health requires more than just good nutrition; you need to ensure you have time for you. Whether it's social time, meditative time or time out to prioritise sometime in the week to focus on you.
• Exercise regularly - walking, running, swimming, hiking, team sports, yoga - do something that you enjoy, mix it up and make it competitive. Whatever it is that gets you motivated go for it. Exercise is great for the body and mind and will boost your energy levels if you do it regularly.
Achieving inner health is simply about taking the time to focus on you. If you do then you will find you have more energy to focus on the rest of your life too.

Overview USANA Health Sciences was founded by Dr. Myron Wentz. In the early 70s, Dr. Wentz founded Gull Laboratories, a producer of commercially available viral diagnostic kits.

Antioxidant (1) Why antioxidants?
Antioxidant vitamins and minerals are the body's first line of defence against highly reactive compounds known as free radicals. Although free radicals are normal by-products of cellular metabolism, their cumulative effects can be devastating...

Under ideal circumstances, antioxidants produced by the body and supplied by the diet "scavenge" free radicals and destroy them as they are produced. But influences such as an inadequate diet, a stressful lifestyle, and environmental pollution can upset this balance...

• Elderly's health
• Glycemic Index (1) Low Glycemic food

Carbohydrates are not created equal. Different carbohydrates have different effects on the blood glucose level. Glycemic Index (GI) is a numeric value given to carbohydrate-containing foods based on their immediate effect on blood sugar levels...
When you eat high-glycemic foods, it can cause your body’s blood glucose levels to quickly spike then crash, leading to feelings of hunger sooner...
A better choice is to eat low-glycemic foods, which keep blood glucose levels more stable, leave you feeling satisfied longer and help control your appetite more easily...

Why we should be taking probiotics
Why probiotics are so important in preventing disease and giving us good health.

This You-Tube video: This is a general overview of why we need probiotics.
, presented by physician and cardiologist,
Dr Gerald Lewis, is well worth watching. It explains how probiotics work and why they can affect so many people and conditions.

Our health starts at our digestive system which includes all of the bacteria from our stomach and right through our gut. Anyone who has ever been on antibiotics or exposed to anti-bacterial cleaners and hand lotions that can be absorbed through the skin, will have an imbalance of these digestive bacteria, which will therefore hinder the absorption of anything that they eat.

As we get older, the symptoms become visible - if you can see anything that resembles food (for example, apple skin, capsicum skin, grapes skins and corn are often the most visible) at the 'other end' (to put it nicely) means that your system is not working properly and not breaking down the foods that you are eating. One month's course of these probiotics will improve your digestion.

Sometimes you might feel like your gut is a war zone.
And in a manner of speaking, it is—it’s the place where the fight for good health can be won or lost.

Are you sure you’re drinking enough water?

2010-02-12T02:08:00.000-08:00

Are you sure you’re drinking enough water? We all know it, but hardly any of us actually do it: drinking enough water. Health experts recommend a minimum intake of eight glasses of water per day for optimum wellness of your body. And you need to drink even more on hot days! Water is the natural detox method for your body with which it drains all the waste out of the body.

You can easily notice it if you haven't drunk enough water. You'll have a slight headache, a dry mouth, sticky saliva, a lack of energy and a reduced urine output with dark yellow urine. It has happened to all of us and it's not that much fun. It's just quite hard to drink water most of the time because there is coffee and tea to be drunk, and juices and soda's in the fridge calling out to us.

Water also plays an elementary role within any weight loss program and diet. Water doesn't contain any calories, but it does contain all the vitamins, minerals and nutritional elements that our body needs to remain healthy.

However, not drinking enough water can do quite a bit of damage to the body without us noticing it at first. So let's try to drink a bit more water, shall we? Here are some tips on how to drink clever and make water a bit more appealing at the same time.

Add a bit of lemon juice to your water.

After just a few days of drinking plain water you tend to get a bit bored with it. You can add a bit of a nutritional bite to your water by adding a teaspoon or less of lemon to your water. You can also try other fruit juices. Just don't overdo it and be sure that you're still drinking mainly water. A splash of juice makes things a bit more interesting without adding a lot of sugars or calories.

Try some Club Soda

If you're simply craving the fizzy vibe of soda, try some Club Soda. It still gives you the buzz without having to much fizz in it like other brands usually have. You can also add a (nutritional) splash of fruit juice to it.

Drink water when you're feeling hungry

This might sound a bit weird, but nine out of ten times the body actually needs water instead of food when we feel hungry. Over time we've gotten so out of tune with our bodies and health that we simply not understand the signals our body gives us anymore. So try drinking some water when you feel hungry because you might actually be thirsty. This tip is particularly useful when trying to lose weight. You can prevent eating unnecessary calories and therefore prevent becoming overweight.

Carry a bottle of water with you

You want to make drinking water as easy as possible for yourself. It's much easier to drink water when you have it readily available. So always have a bottle of water with you in the car, at work, while shopping and so on. This way you'll be sipping water all day without really noticing it.

Try to keep track of how much water you actually drink during the day and implement some of these tips to make it a bit easier for yourself. You will not only be maintaining your body's health, but you're also detoxing and losing weight at the same time! Your body will thank you for it in the long run.

Alternative ways to build your wealth and get the lifestyle you want
Traditional ways of working and building wealth are now giving way to alternative means to a more prosperous lifestyle. The Gen Y demographic are all about work/life balance and fitting work around life not the other way around. For Baby Boomers the drive to achieve success in both work and life is just as strong.

As Baby Boomers head towards retirement the need to source additional income and work less is important. Facing a retirement where income is hard to come by or non-existent is daunting. So Baby Boomers are looking for ways to protect their earning potential long after they retire from full time employment.

Finding alternative ventures aside from a career is high on the priority list. Investments, savings and home based businesses are all good ways to maintain ongoing income.

Home based business is appealing to Baby Boomers for lots of reasons:
• Having the power to drive your own success and create new income streams.
• Having the ability to earn an income whilst enjoying the lifestyle you always wanted.
• Having the time for family, hobbies, holidays and the income to do it all.
• Having a business that you can use all the skills you have acquired over the years to create your own success.

For Baby Boomers heading towards retirement the focus is now more than ever on securing a financial future that allows for all the things you want in your golden years. Alternative sources of income that you can continue to tap into after you retire provide ongoing security and opportunity.

As with any business finding something that suits your lifestyle and that you can be passionate about are the keys to longevity. Check out the USANA business opportunity and achieve the lifestyle you deserve.

Glowing Summer Skin - Monday, February 1, 2010

2010-02-12T01:39:00.000-08:00

Glowing Summer Skin
The New Zealand summer is well and truly here and that means lots of time for fun in the sun. There is no better time to be feeling good, looking great and being at the top of your game. Unfortunately most of us have over indulged over the holidays and getting back the balance can be challenging...

There are many factors that contribute to skin issues including stress, fatigue, toxins, diet and lifestyle. No matter how much time you put into your external skin care regime you will never get the skin you want until you focus on the inside. That means beautifying from the inside out by making sure your body gets what it needs.

So here are some great tips for achieving glowing summer skin this summer and getting back on track after Christmas madness.

It's true what they say about inner beauty, make sure your insides are working to make you look great on the outside. What you put into your body makes a big difference to your skin, teeth and hair and it has a major effect on energy levels.

Get glowing summer skin by drinking lots of water, avoiding high sugar foods and drinks, eating a balanced diet and avoiding alcohol.

Kick the caffeine in 2010, coffee, red bull and coke all contain high amounts of caffeine. Try cutting down or cutting out caffeinated drinks and feel the effects on your energy levels. These drinks also contain sugar; notice the positive effects on your skin when you cut them out of your diet.

Steer clear of skin care products that contain chemicals or parabens. Skin care products that are natural and contain essential oils are great for your skin.

Supplements for improving and maintaining healthy glowing skin include Omega 3, tea tree oil, vitamin C and E.

Fruit and vegetables are a great source of antioxidants which not only help with keeping your skin fresh but with many other aspects of your health.

Try some of USANA’s great glowing skin products like Sensé skincare, BiOmega III and E-Prime.
