Nanogreens – What are they and why you need them??

An amazing team of scientists, physicians, nutritionists, and pharmacists joined together to formulate an amazing product called Nanogreens. This product is extraordinary. I came across this several years ago at an Anti-Aging convention. It was serendipitous because not only is this a very high quality supplement with a tremendous amount of research and clinical use backing it…it also takes great for a green drink. Let’s not forget the most important fact – it is by far one of the best products I have found with such substantial health benefits!

I am sure that many of you that have tried green drinks in the past and will agree that most of them taste terrible. I have become accustom to the taste of green drinks over the years because I do them for their health benefits and not the taste. All of you who know me usually don’t believe me when I say that “it doesn’t taste that bad” and truthfully, this…doesn’t taste that bad. The team at BioPharma did a great job of creating a product that tastes great.

Nanogreens is a little green blessing in disguise because it actually tastes great. It has been formulated to synergistically mix well with the protein powder from the same company called NanoPro. By mixing the Nanogreens and Nanopro together it creates a powerhouse of protein and greens for a morning meal.

My morning ritual is my “Terramin Dirt Drink” (its clay actually…I have  coined it the “Dirt Drink”) around 5:30 in the morning. It should always be taken on an empty stomach. Take it in the evening before bed if it’s easier for you. Around 6:15am I take my NanoPro and NanoGreens mixed together.

This usually holds me over for about 2 hours…then I have to eat. This is a good thing because you are stimulating your metabolism and it is very helpful in weight loss and maintaining your current weight…not to mention the benefits to your digestion, liver and health and energy in general. If you are looking to lose weight please do not subscribe to the skipping meals and not eating club. This is not the answer – I assure you. For healthy, safe and effective weight loss protocols and techniques, please contact me directly. Let’s start with getting a picture of your Neurotransmitters!

Nanogreens is truly a quantum leap in the science of nutrition. Most of us do not eat a diet with the correct amounts of vitamins, mineral, proteins, etc.

Nanogreens and NanoPro allows you a simple and effective way to remedy this problem.

Please don’t misunderstand me here…I am not giving you a free ticket to eat garbage foods the remainder of the day just because you are having the Nanogreens for breakfast. You must still make better food choices and commit to a consistent exercise regime for lasting health and prevention of disease.

I have been recently lecturing to massage students on the subject of Anatomy and Physiology and teaching them about the importance of nutrition and bone health – doing things now like taking care of your bones, health, getting proper nutrition and exercise are much more effective at starving off disease than trying to treat something when you have a problem.

Nanogreens is a super greens food that supplements your diet with up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables.

Scientists and doctors agree that dark greens, brightly colored fruits and vegetables are not only rich in vitamins and minerals, but phytonutrients. Ongoing nutritional research has demonstrated that optimizing phytonutrient intake by eating 7 to 13 servings a day may:

• naturally increase your energy
• reduce appetite, improve metabolism, assists with weight loss
• restore regular elimination and assist digestion
• reduce inflammation, relieve stiff and achy joints and muscles
• lower risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke
• inhibit hardening of the arteries
• protect your vision from age related vision loss
• maintain strong bones
• support immune function and increase resistance to infections
• reduce allergy symptoms without drowsiness
• improve mental acuity and protect mind and memory
• detoxify toxic metals and chemicals
• help slow aging of the skin and dulling of the hair

Americans need to eat at least 50% more vegetables, 150% more fruit, 250% more orange and 350% more green vegetables every day says the USDA in a recent report. That’s around 7-13 servings daily.

That is an incredible amount and even now most people do not even eat the recommended daily minimums!  What can be done about this??

We make no medical disease claims for these or any of the products; however, I do want you to have the confidence that NanoGreens, when taken as directed, will help supplement your diet with a powerhouse of minerals, nutrients and whole foods.

NanoGreens is formulated to be taken once-daily. It is an easy to mix drink that has only 50 calories. It is loaded with all the healthy vegetables and it is by far the best tasting and most effective “green drink” that I have ever found. It is easy to use and easy to take. It works great in filtered, optimized water and patient compliance has almost never been a problem.

My patients use to complain considerably about previous green drinks that I have recommended – some wouldn’t even finish them because they didn’t like them. This has never been a problem with the Nanogreens.

‘Assist’ with Digestion

There are so many issues that we could discuss here – so I will try to stay focused and on track.

If you haven’t already seen the movie – Food, Inc. Please do so immediately. It is worth your health, time and money.  My point here in directing you to see that is so you will understand all the implications that food has on our health – all the way back to where the food comes from before it goes from your hand to your mouth.

Chemicals, pesticides, dyes and additives are all, for the most part, unnatural and unhealthy for your body and immune system.  Understandably, there is a need for some of these things, but the point that I must make here is that everything has a risk to benefit ratio.  This includes all forms of medicine – is the risk of doing X worth the benefit.  There is always this choice when taking any prescription, doing any surgery or procedure and even with any supplement or food that you put into your mouth.

I have often said that the most important thing you can do for your health is eat a healthy diet loaded with clean, organic “whole-foods”.  This means grass fed beef, free-range eggs, no processed foods, fruits, vegetables.  Minimal complex carbohydrates and sugar…you know what I am talking about here – cakes, cookies, pies, breads – just to name a few.

Another aspect that is diet related is to rotate your foods. This is very important – you can research on the internet and you will find a plethora of information about food sensitivities and allergies.  We tend to be creatures of habit and constantly and continuously consume 30-40 of the same foods 80% or more of the time.

Over the course of our lives of doing this, we often have issues internally because our bodies need variety.  It is the spice of life.  Keep it interesting. Many doctors advocate what is known as the rotation diet. This can be useful when trying to determine what you may be sensitive or allergic to, but it is also beneficial in that it will allow your body to rest and relax between days of consuming something you are sensitive to.

I have said many times the most common food sensitivities are wheat, gluten, eggs, dairy and corn.  A specialized test can be run from a company such as ImmunoLabs in Florida to give you information about exactly what you should and should not consume for your health and well being.

Eating foods that are toxic and laden with chemicals, high in fat, sugar and refined carbohydrates have been linked to many issues including, but not limited to, diabetes, weight gain, cardiovascular issues, attention deficient, hyperactivity, difficulty with concentration, digestive disorders (constipation, diarrhea, IBS), insomnia and anxiety. This test will definitively rule out for you what is causing the issues.  Removing these foods for 4-6 months with rotating in high quality foods will give your body a chance to heal.  Most often, these foods can be reintroduced into the diet after your system has had a chance to heal with little to no issues of the symptoms recurring.

A problem of epic proportions in this country is constipation. This first and foremost is a dietary related issue – such as not getting enough fiber, eating garbage food, lack of exercise and dehydration.  A question that I constantly ask all of my clients, friends and family is how their bowels are.  Most people think that every day is quite normal to have a bowel movement. This I assure you is not!  Once per day is the minimum to maintain health.  It is so important that we keep all of our organs of detoxification – clean and functioning at optimal capacity.  This includes our liver, colon, skin, kidneys and emotional well being.  If our colon is backed up, it is not uncommon for the bacteria that are present in our colon within the stool, to be reabsorbed into our bloodstreams.  This process is known as auto-intoxification, which means that we are doing something that is causing the toxins to be re-introduced.

If you are having issues with constipation, please check out our recommendations BEYOND FIBER (a great blend of fiber and nutrients – good for colon and heart health),

BIONUE (a fantastic source of high quality healthy-bacteria for your intestinal track, also known as probiotics)

TERRAMIN (mineral supplement that detoxifies the gastrointestinal track)

OXYPOWDER (by far the best product used to help move the bowels without it actually being a laxative.  This is better than any natural or conventional product I have seen.  It is not a stimulant and should cause no cramping.  For the cost and benefit investment – it is truly a blessing for those who suffer from constipation.

For those of you that suffer from  diarrhea – please don’t hesitate to contact us as there is lots that can be done for you as well…most of it the same just with a slightly different slant. There is a fantastic remedy from China called Curing Pills. It works for any digestive issue but is exceptional for diarrhea and irritable bowel.

We see commercials all the time for these wonderful new drugs that are being used to treat things like heartburn, GERD and acid reflux. In the commercial is a person looking longingly at a double meat, double cheese, and double bread greasy hamburger – thinking if I didn’t get heartburn from that I could eat it.  WELL…How about we don’t eat what is causing us this heartburn instead.  Our poor bodies are literally talking to us (screaming actually) with symptoms and we ignore it.  Try using common sense and not eat those foods in the first place.  If you notice, most of the people in the commercial are usually overweight, which is a major part of the bigger picture.

Now that I have ranted about everything so far except for what this article was intended…its time to discuss digestion and a fantastic product called Assist and Assist-Dairy and Protein.

This product helps us to digest proteins from animal sources (fish, eggs and meat) and it will increase our digestive process which will help us to achieve and maintain optimal wellness. It is also helpful for digestion of dairy, nuts, seeds and legumes (if you have issues with digestion be sure you soak your beans and legumes before you cook them).

These enzymes are beneficial to take with food to not only “assist” with digestion, but also assilimation of the nutrients from the food that you are eating.

The ingredient HCl (also known as hydrochloric acid) is a primary player in the digestion of your foods. The products used to treat acid reflux are an excess of acid production. This is most often not the case, but rather too little production of stomach acid causing these problems.  If you have low stomach acid you will have issues digesting proteins and your system will eventually become depleted of its mineral stores.  When your blood is too acidic, it starts to steal minerals from wherever it can get them in your body (this is a great reason to have TERRAMIN on hand, and take daily for general colon health as well as re-mineralization of your body). Having minerals leached from your body in this manner can also lead to disorders such as osteoporosis.

Donna Gate’s on her website www.bodyecology.com the makers of the products – ASSIST and ASSIST Dairy and Protein list symptoms caused by low stomach as:

Bloating, Belching & Flatulence
Heartburn
Digestive Disorders (constipation, diarrhea and acid reflux)
Acne
Fungal Overgrowth & Candida
Food Sensitivities

Assist is virtually the same product as Assist Dairy and Protein.  Assist is a more generalized product than the formula intended for protein and dairy.

Please contact me if you will like to discuss your digestive issues in more detail. There are so many beneficial products that can be used to help assist with this common issue that plague so many of us. Drink lots of water, eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies…and for goodness sake – sit down and relax when you eat.

I want to detoxify and cleanse my body.  What can I do?

The best place to begin detoxification is with your intestinal tract.   First and foremost, what I would do is the colon cleanse from Global Healing Center.  It’s called OxyPowder. and is just what the doctor ordered for cleansing the colon.

Oxy-Powder® is a scientifically formulated compound that uses the power of oxygen to safely aid the body in relieving irritation associated with constipation symptoms.  A clean, toxin-free intestinal tract is the foundation for maintaining optimal health.  Did you know over 100 million Americans are constipated?

While this is a fantastic remedy for just about anyone with any type of chronic disease… I almost always recommend Terramin Clay.  There are two important reasons for optimal health your body needs this phenomenal Terramin Clay.  Now, I hope I have not lost you, as I know my recommendation here is to consume clay.  Keep an open mind and, if necessary for your health…give it a try!

Remineralization and Internal Detoxification!!

Even if you eat totally organic 100% of the time…you may not be getting the nutrition your body needs.  The most common degenerative diseases today–heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and many others, can be linked to mineral and trace mineral deficiencies.  Without these precious trace minerals, your body is defenseless.  Studies show that mineral micro-nutrients are necessary for functions within every cell and its corresponding enzyme systems.  Your body needs more than just the ones that come to mind as part of a healthy diet.  The body needs dozens of trace minerals.  Most people are deficient in many trace minerals, mainly due to our soils, and foods grown in them, are deficent in the nutrients themselves.

Extensive research with TERRAMIN®, conducted by the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center and a number of other leading science and research institutions, has produced an exhausted list of benefits of this clay.

• Energizes with ionic activity
• Defends against internal toxins
• Naturally detoxifies and cleanses your colon
• Full-Spectrum source of trace minerals
• Increases bio-availability/assimilation of calcium
• High pH compound helps moderate acids in the body
• Helps manage mineral assimilation with silica buffer
• Preserved beneath the surface of the earth since before man’s presence, this substance is absolutely free of toxins and man-made chemicals.

The uses for this product are endless. The Native Americans have been using this for hundreds of years. Anything that has been utilized for so many years, and having such large amounts of benefits with minimal risk – I am all for it!

See Terramin & BioNue for additional invaluable information on gut issues and detoxification.

It’s that time of year when everyone seems to have what you often hear referred to as a “sinus infection”. While this is somewhat of a misnomer – this problem is most often due to the consumption of dairy (including anything that comes from a cow) and an imbalance of the bacteria in the intestinal track.

Studies show that sinus infections are not bacterial in nature and the root cause is often a fungus – the overuse of antibiotics continue down the path of perpetuating the so called infection. In Chinese Medicine the underlying cause is known as “damp” and the actual nature of the antibiotic is inherently “damp” as well… thus perpetuating the infection. Much the same way that consumption of milk perpetuates mucus.

One of the most benefical ways to help boost your immune system is to take a probiotic. Healthwalk makes one of the best that I have ever used. So if you suffer from Acid Reflux, Allergies, Candida, Digestive Issues and Frequent Infections, then BioNue is the probiotic for you.

BioNue can assist by introducing friendly bacteria that modern lifestyles so often take out of our bodies. A hearty blend of broad-spectrum probiotics, BioNue can also nutritionally support your body’s normal ability to fight the pathogenic bacteria that you may consume in your food.

With the food that is continually consumed to our detriment – coffee, dairy, high fat and sugar intake, refinded carbohydrates, etc. the health of your body unravels. While these changes happen a bit more slowly when we are younger… as we age the “signs and symptoms” begin screaming at us instead of whispering. Symptoms are the body’s way of telling us that something is wrong… headaches, constipation, diarrhea, joint pain, loss of memory, anxiety, depression, etc.

When we ignore them and continue doing the things that are causing the problem, disease ensues. These symptoms are not normal in that they are trying to clue us in to problems.  Over time we have learned to cope with them and almost find them to be normal because we have been dealing with them for so long.  Suddenly, you realize that you no longer feel like a healthy person.   Folks let me tell you – you do not have to feel this way. Please be proactive and make these positive changes today.

If sinus problems are an issue you must also consider the use of a neti-pot. Doing this procedure with some sea salt once daily will help offer tremendous relief for the sinus symptoms. Don’t forget… almost all allergy issues are directly related to problems in the gut!
