1. Rebuilding the immune system

2. Reducing inflammation

3. Creating a non-toxic environment

The wellness company I represent is a leading nutritional company, with a 53 year history,based in science, research and products in “Harmony with Nature”.

Experience a difference, and you will, or your money back.

Certain nutrients benefit the immune system. When the body is in crisis, it is important to “feed” the immune system at the cellular level. Unfortunately we can’t do that with diet alone, supplementation is key. Our nutrients have been tested for absorption, and are bio-available. What that means is that they are absorbed into the blood stream.

We begin with a core program, which may include Soy Protein and our Multi-Vitamin (also known as nutritional insurance, our multi vitamin fills in the gaps that are often missing in our diet.)

We then add Vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, and Vitamin E…these are nutrients that specifically support the immune system. This begins the rebuilding process. Vitamin C is very healing. Beta-Carotene is essential for the strength of mucousal membranes, a.k.a. your “inner skin”. Vitamin E has an affinity for oxygen. All of these are nutrients work together to protect against free radicals.  Our company additionally offers a proprietary blend of nutrients that support the immune system all in one tablet and anadvanced caratonoid product that replaces our former Beta-Carotene and includes 6 top carotonoids.

Naturopathic Physician Diane Petoskey says that allergies can be caused by an abnormal immune response or, surprisingly by poor digestion and a toxic lower intestine secondary to an overgrowth of Candida yeasts and pathogenic bacteria: she recommends friendly bacteria - to prevent antibiotic problems, enhance and improve immune function. Our pro/prebiotic guarantees live delivery of Bifidus and Acidophilus.

Secondly, those with allergies often experience inflammation. The “itis” of sinusitis, bronchitis and so on means inflammation of the sinus’s or bronchia. The medical drug approach to reducing inflammation is known for it’s many side affects. We have found that certain nutrients reduce inflammation naturally. Gamma Linolenic Acid is an essential fatty acid found in plant seed oils, such as evening primrose oil or borage seed. GLA has been found to control acute and chronic inflammation. Ours comes from borage seed oil which is 3 times more concentrated than GLA sourced from evening primrose oil. Omega 3′s are another natural anti-inflammatory sourced from fish oil.Vitamin C also reduces inflammation.

There are also herbs that benefit those who have allergies. It is important here to note the purity, potency and the quality control of our medicinal herbs. In this industry there is no federal regulation, recent studies have shared with us that there is often misrepresentation in the labeling in “health food store products”. Our products go through a complex and stringent raw materials check. Our products are manufactured at pharmaceutical grade, not because we have to, more because they choose to. They are tested again once they are manufactured for bioavailabilty. This rigor is unheard of in the industry. A few recommended herbs include: Garlic is a natural anti-bacterial, fungal, anti-viral substance. Alfalfa as a natural decongestant. Echinacea as an immune system booster and Gingko-bilobawhich assists circulation.

The final area we have had dramatic results with is cleaning up your personal environment. A person with allergies may be even more sensitive to toxins than others. There is no reason to use laundry or household products that could aggravate this condition. We have a complete line of environmentally safe, phosphate free cleaning and laundry products.  Sometimes something as simple as shifting laundry products can reduce allergy symptoms.

I hesitate to tell this story for two reasons:

I feel sometimes testimonies can be a little hokey.

I don’t want to represent alternative solutions as “miracles”.

Then I appear to be hokey, ya know?

Secondly, this particular testimony is a tad graphic. Yet this was a major health issue that was helped by nutritional supplementation, the recovery of which was truly remarkable.

It’s a story worth sharing.

A friend recommended that this twenty something male friend of hers contact me. He was stressed, working 3 jobs, newly engaged and very sick. He had not had a solid bowel in years, he bled rectally. He slept in a fetal position from cramping. He lived on pop. He navigated his day from bathroom to bathroom. He was diagnosed with colitis and they were recommending surgery. The kind of surgery where you end up with a poop bag on the outside of your body for the rest of your life.

With the help of my mentor,  we recommended a rather aggressive high quality digestive health nutritional protocol. We included nutrients that were healing, that reduced inflammation naturally, eventually we added nutrients to help him rebuild his health. He was eager to be well, and so compliance wasn’t an issue. He weaned from pop. We guided him to healthier eating. He did this with such enthusiasm. He was the kindof of client who says tell me what to do and does it!  Weeks later he called me and openly wept, he had his first solid bowel movement in a decade. 10 years. WOW. This young man went on to completely recover and avoid surgery.

If you appreciate testimonies in my writings please let me know.  There are many more that I can share!

If you are at risk for heart disease,  use antibiotics regulary,  have diarrhea or flatulance,  any bacterial,  fungal,  or viral infection,  low immunity,  arthritis,  sore throat,  toothache,  asthma,  allergies,  pneumonia,  cancer,  meningitis, colds or flu,  tuberculosis,  fever blisters,  athlete’s foot,  common warts,  genital herpes,  sinus infections,  whooping cough or high blood pressure then garlic may be useful for you!

Garlic, to eat may taste wonderful, but does not maintain Allicin, it’s medicinal value, once it’s been cooked or smashed.

In other words you can cook with it all you want. Yum, but if you cook it or smash it you need to take it in supplement form too.

Having Garlic in pill form secures it’s medicinal validity especially when the product isn’t produced at extreme temperatures, is dried very slowly, and combined with rosemary and spearmint for odor control.

Should you add a high quality Garlic supplement to your health building protocol you will notice these benefits:

Reduced risk of heart attack and stroke
lower serum cholesterol readings
lower tryglycerides
raised HDL, good cholesterol
increased blood fluidity
stops free radicals

Garlic is anti-inflammatory, bacterial, fungal and viral – sometimes referred to as a natural antibiotic.

It kills parasites
protects the liver from toxins
protects against radiation
is used to treat excess perspiration
lower blood glucose in diabetics
is a blood cleanser, traps heavy metals
used in treatment for colic
increases while blood cell levels, even in AIDS patients
