Digestive Competence

With our clients, the first thing I check is digestive competence, because over 90% of the people I consult with either have digestion problems or digest less than optimally. If you can't assimilate the nutrients from the food you eat, or the supplements you take, due to poor digestion, the body becomes deficient of your essential building blocks and performance enhancing nutrients. These may include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. Putrefaction (rotting food) and toxins also result from this poor digestion.

If there is one main factor the body needs for optimal digestion, it is enzymes. Enzymes unlock nutrients from food and supplements, and in most cases are a key to health, insuring complete and optimal digestion, cellular absorption of nutrients, and maximum delivery of food and supplemental nutrients for energy and peak performance. Enzymes have been called the most important nutritional discovery since vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Enzymes control all metabolic processes.

If you lack enzymes, the foods you eat are prone to ferment and putrefy. This leads to acid indigestion, gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and nutritional deficiencies. To address digestive problems, it is important not to take products that merely treat symptoms and risk severe side effects. It is more appropriate to address the underlying root cause of the problem-a deficiency in enzymes.

Many of our clients complained of having to take so many different products to get their desired results. It was because of this that I created Digestion & Stomach Upset Support. This formula contains all of these essential nutrients in one formula: Lipase for digestion of fats, amylase for carbohydrates, and cellulase for fiber. Acidophilus has been added to enhance the growth of friendly bacterial bowel flora. Gluco-amalyse, invertase and lactase are added to diminish the reactions to food allergens such as dairy, wheat and sugar. Slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, gamma oryzanol, ginger root, green tea, quercetin, licorice root (DGL), and ajowan oil were added to help soothe and nourish the gastrointestinal lining and reduce stomach acidity. (Protease, an enzyme for the digestion of protein, has been left out of this formula because of its irritating effect on sensitive or inflamed stomach and intestinal linings.)
Digestive competence is fundamental to good health and optimum performance. In summary, you are not really what you eat, you are what you properly digest and assimilate.

Minerals for Proper Metabolism & Biochemical Function
In addition to acting as "building blocks" for our bones, teeth, muscles, nerves, connective tissues and body fluids, minerals, particularly the trace elements, as found in the Concentrated Liquid Ionic Mineral Support serve as co-factors to the enzymes, which catalyze all of the biochemical reactions that are required for our bodies to function optimally. In the absence of specific minerals, our bodies compensate for these nutritional deficiencies by following less efficient, alternative biochemical pathways. Eventually, these specific deficiency states will cause measurable body chemistry imbalances. If left unattended, these body chemistry imbalances will cause a loss of vitality and efficiency in related organs, glands and inter-related body systems- eventually leading to poor health, symptoms of degenerative health conditions and ultimately a diminished life experience and shortened lifetime.
Ionic Minerals support the body's natural processes directly related to:

· Every biochemical process and activity of the body.
· The acid-base balance (pH) of the body.
· Proper cellular metabolism, nerve conduction, muscle function, organ function, hormonal secretion of glands, digestive competence.
· Activation and utilization of amino acids, carbohydrates, enzymes, fats, oils, phytochemicals, proteins, sugars, and vitamins.
· Delivery of nutrients into, and removal of wastes from every cell, tissue, fluid, gland and organ.
· Proper structure and function of the hair, skin, nails and five senses.
· The anti-oxidation process, which protects against aging, degeneration and dis-ease.
· Protection against toxic heavy metals.
· The "spark" of life energy

One of the most important keys to supporting and preserving human health is by maintaining balanced levels of ionic minerals present in all the cells and tissues of the body. Current research shows that underlying most health conditions are nutrient and mineral deficiencies or imbalances that are eventually expressed by the body as fatigue and exhaustion, poor physical endurance and performance, or even symptoms of disease.

Understanding Joint Disorders & Degeneration

What Is Joint Degeneration?

Joint Degeneration is the inflammation of a joint and it's surrounding tissues, including the cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Joint Degeneration can be caused by numerous dis-ease states and chemistry imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, genetic disorders, and over-use (wearing-out) of the joints. The joints most often affected with arthritis are found in the back and spine, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees, ankles, and toes. The most common symptoms of joint degeneration include painful, limited movement in the affected joint(s), swelling of the joints, increased heat and redness in surrounding tissues, and a dry, crackling sensation or sound emanating from the affected joint.

What Causes Joint Degeneration?

Joint Degeneration can be caused by many factors. Nutritional deficiencies leading to joint degeneration usually involve calcium depletion, or a diet poor in fresh vegetables and high in acid and mucous-producing foods. Degenerative joint conditions can also be related to unbalanced body chemistry (acid pH), imbalances of the body's glands and the hormones they produce, genetic (family) history, allergic reactions to foods, autoimmune reactions (when the body's immune system attacks itself), and stressful lifestyles or environments. Other common causes include osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), and long-term use of anti-arthritic drugs and over-the-counter pain medications. Anabolic steroids, used by some body builders, can lead to arthritis-like degeneration of the joints. Finally, overuse of any joint in the body can cause the wearing down of the cartilage between two bones (osteoarthritis) or instability of the joint. Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is found in many different joints in the body: but particularly in the knees, neck, back, hips, and fingers. It commonly causes pain, inflammation, and decreased range of motion. Considered by western allopathic doctors as an irreversible process of joint destruction. Western drug treatment, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin and Ibuprofin treat the symptoms of joint pain and degenerative joint conditions, however, they do not slow the progression of the disease. In fact, long-term use of NSAID's can cause further joint damage (decrease bone repair, increase micro-fractures) and can actually accelerate the progression of osteoarthritis.

Which Nutrients Can Help Joint Disorders & Degeneration?

Nutrients, which I often recommend to patients suffering from degenerative joint conditions, include glucosamine sulfate, mucopolysaccharides, shark cartilage, which replace joint 'ground substances' and cause the regeneration of the cartilage and other joint tissues. The enzyme bromelain and sea cucumber (Beche-de-mer) have natural anti-inflammatory compounds effective with degenerative joint conditions. Herbs that I commonly recommend for arthritic conditions include, white willow bark for natural pain relief; boswellia serrata and feverfew as natural anti-inflammatory agents; yucca, as a blood purifier; and cat's claw, to stimulate the immune system and for it's anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties. These nutrients are found in our Joint Support formula.

What About Dietary Oils?

Another important group of nutrients related to degenerative joint conditions are essential fatty acids such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. They come in the form of both plant and fish oils (evening primrose oil, black currant seed oil, borage oil, flax seed oil, soy oil, pumpkin seed oil, and various fish oils). In numerous research studies, these oils have been shown to provide 'lubrication' to the joints, increase elasticity and flexibility and help control pain and inflammation. It is important that people are digesting fats well so the body can properly utilize these dietary oils. These dietary oils are found in our Joint Lubrication Support formula.
When used in combination, the nutrients in these formulas have been shown in numerous scientific studies to effectively support healthy cartilage and proper joint function.

Optimizing Cellular Energy, Immune & Heart Function

Nutrients for Energy & The Immune System and Heart Health:

COENZYME Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble compound that functions as a coenzyme in the energy-producing pathways in the cells of the body, and as an anti-oxidant for the body. It is used in every cell of the body. Its coenzyme functions occur in the mitochondria, where it acts as an essential component of the electron transport chain, important for energy production. As an antioxidant, CoEnzymeQ10 protects fats, proteins and DNA from oxidative damage. Oral supplementation of CoEnzymeQ10 can increase blood levels, and studies have shown that supplementation increases mitochondrial levels of CoEnzymeQ10. Coenzyme Q10 works synergistically in the body with Vitamin C, Vitamin E & Alpha Lipoic Acid.

COENZYME Q10 is Essential for:
- Healthy cardiovascular function.
- Maintaining healthy immune system function.
- Cellular energy production. Keeping the body's energy production optimal.
- Maintaining healthy Lipoprotein (a) homocysteine levels.
- Providing antioxidant protection to cholesterol (reduces lipid peroxidation).

Levels of CoEnzyme Q10 diminish:
After Strenuous exercise, upon aging, with chronic disease, when a person takes certain Rx drugs (Statin drugs to lower cholesterol, Anti-hypertensive drugs to lower blood pressure, and Anti-depressants.)

L-CARNITINE

Carnitine carries vital fuel (derived from fatty acids) into the cells, where it can be burned to produce energy. Carnitine also carries waste products (produced in the cells) out of the cells during the energy production process.
Carnitine is vital to healthy brain, heart, and mitochondrial function.
Carni Q-Gel Energizer Support System supports the body's natural processes directly related to:
· Energy Production
· Heart Health
· Immune System Function
· Aging
· Periodontal Health
· Oxidative Stress
Cellular energy production in the body absolutely depends on the presence of CoenzymeQ10 and L-Carnitine.
