While I don’t want you to go outside and get burned it is important for you to spend time outside with as much of your skin exposed to the sun as possible for 15-20 minutes per day.  No sunglasses and no sunscreen.

Please explore the vitamin d council website and read about the importance of having adequate levels of vitamin d in your body. It is important to note that very few of us actually have adequate amounts.

Vitamin D is more than just a vitamin it also acts like a hormone. Essential for proper hormone production, cardiovascular health as well as maintaining a state of optimal mental health.

If you have any questions about your levels or vitamin d and its role in anti-aging then please set up some time to discuss your questions with me.

The vitamin d council is the best source for all things related to the amazing health and life-saving vitamin d.

Please check out the AskDrSkip.com store for the premier vitamin d supplement.

New evidence is emerging that Vitamin D levels are too low for optimal health in the majority of us. This can compromise the health of our bones and immune system, which leads to increased need for this nutrient for most of us to maintain healthy prostate, breast, and nerve tissues.

Suggested Use: Adults age 18 or over – Take one capsule daily or as recommended by a physician.

If you or someone you know has Cancer, HIV, Hepatitis, Chronic Fatigue or Multiple Sclerosis please see this website about Low Dose Naltrexone. I have recommended LDN therapy with my patients and I, as well as the patients, have been extremly impressed with the results. Now please understand that this medication is used as part of a complete protocol and not as a stand-alone treatment in my practice. Anything that can be done to help stimulate the immune system in my opinion is definitely worth a deeper look.  

Naltrexone itself was approved by the FDA in 1984 in a 50mg dose for the purpose of helping heroin or opium addicts, by blocking the effect of such drugs. By blocking opioid receptors, naltrexone also blocks the reception of the opioid hormones that our brain and adrenal glands produce: beta-endorphin and metenkephalin. Many body tissues have receptors for these endorphins and enkephalins, including virtually every cell of the body’s immune system.

In 1985, Bernard Bihari, MD, a physician with a clinical practice in New York City, discovered the effects of a much smaller dose of naltrexone (approximately 3mg once a day) on the body’s immune system. He found that this low dose, taken at bedtime, was able to enhance a patient’s response to infection by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. [Note: Subsequently, the optimal adult dosage of LDN has been found to be 4.5mg.]

In the mid-1990′s, Dr. Bihari found that patients in his practice with cancer (such as lymphoma or pancreatic cancer) could benefit, in some cases dramatically, from LDN. In addition, people who had an autoimmune disease (such as lupus) often showed prompt control of disease activity while taking LDN.

As most of you already know, I have been seriously entrenched in health and wellness product research for over 10 years. I have traveled all over the world reviewing hundreds of products, and attending countless seminars and lectures…and have been personally introduced to some of the most cutting edge “supplements” available today. Through all of my research, I never came across a product with more merit, and such promise, as the one called ASEA.

ASEA is quite literally, stabilized, reactive molecules in a bottle. These molecules are suspended in a saline solution that matches the natural pH of the human body, and they work at the deepest cellular level…specifically, in the mitochondria. To the layman, this product needs a bit of explanation which is covered in detail by a short, animated video on my website, www.askdrskip.teamasea.com. This video very simply details specifically how ASEA affects our cellular health, while also increasing glutathione, SOD and Catalase levels by 500%. Testing by the FDA has shown absolutely zero toxicity in ASEA.

Recently, ASEA Corporation flew me, to their headquarters to meet the founders, CEO’s and the key scientist behind ASEA, Dr. Gary Samuelson – I was more than impressed, to say the least; not only with the science behind it, called Redox Signaling, but also with the caliber and vision of those directly involved with its creation. I came away with a high level of excitement and anticipation at just what this product could mean to the world.

Just a few weeks ago, ASEA received its Athletic Drug Testing Certification and it has been approved for use by all high-level competitive, endurance athletes, including Olympic Athletes. Incredibly, controlled testing by Dr. Eric Heiden and his team showed that ASEA significantly increased the Ventilatory Threshold by an average of 12% in only two weeks. Typically, a full year of intense training will show an increase of only 2%-5%. There is a plethora of printed research on all of this, and I would be more than happy to forward it to you if you like.

Additionally, ASEA has been clinically shown to improve adrenal fatigue, skin issues, and immune system disorders; not to mention bacterial, fungal and viral loads.

ASEA is considered a one of the most important breakthroughs of our time, primarily because the signaling molecules that were once thought impossible to stabilize…are now stabilized. The 16 molecules that are in ASEA are found in virtually the same concentration inside the cells in your immune system. The generalized explanation is that this product will reboot your cellular/immune system.

I encourage any and all questions you may have about this incredible product. I hope that you will take a few moments to visit my website to watch the video and read more about it. There is also a new u-tube link where you can hear the founders of ASEA tell their story. Please visit this link at: www.YouTube.com/ASEAvideo.

Be aware of this sneaky ingredient that pops up in the oddest of places…(MSG) Monosodium Glutamate.  It has many alias’…But by any other name…it’s still as dangerous.

Contain Monosodium Glutamate:

• Glutamate 
• Glutamic acid
• Gelatin
• Monosodium glutamate
• Calcium caseinate
• Textured protein
• Monopotassium glutamate
• Sodium caseinate
• Yeast nutrient
• Yeast extract
• Autolyzed yeast
• Hydrolyzed protein (any protein that is hydrolyzed)

OFTEN contains MSG or can create it during processing:

• Carrageenan
• Maltodextrin Malt extract
• Natural pork flavoring
• Citric acid
• Malt flavoring
• Bouillon
• Broth
• Natural chicken flavoring

• Anything protein fortified
• Flavors(s) & Flavoring(s)
• Anything enzyme modified
• Anything fermented
• Natural flavor(s) & flavoring(s)
• Enzymes
• Anything ingredient listed as “Seasonings”

This little guy is a secret ingredient that has been shown in recent studies to actually cause weight gain. This horrible, very unhealthy and down-right dangerous ingredient is used in the great name of being a “flavor enhancer”.  It is common to go to various restaurants and see signs that say “no added MSG” and while this is a great thing…the problem lies in that it can and most often is used in the processing of the food before it reaches the restaurant.

MSG is considered an “excitotoxin,” which means that it functions in the system by exciting the neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are your master brain chemicals. We can test them to determine your levels with a simple urine test. This will help us to determine a very fundamental state of your health. The imbalances that are shown on the results can be corrected very easily with some extraordinary products.

MSG being an “excitotoxin” has been linked to many various conditons ranging from simple headaches to severe strokes and seizues. I don’t know about you…but neither of those things,  nor anything in between, sound all that great to me.  It is in your best interest to avoid them at all costs. There are so many times that I pass people in restaurants and coffee shops putting 2-4 packets of the “pink” blindly in their coffee – having no idea just how dangerous it is.   Just because it sits on the shelf in the grocery store doesn’t mean that its safe. The FDA has a classification where they distinguish ingredients as G.R.A.S. which means ”Generally Regarded As Safe”. Under this classification if they state that something is “natural” it just means that is once started out as natural…doesn’t also mean that its safe.  Again, here I can’t stress and reinterate enough you must be an advoate for your own health.

Read the book “Excitotoxins – The Taste that Kills” by Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.  In this book, your eyes will be opened so wide about the dangers of MSG, as well as other harmful chemicals, that I highly recommend you avoid (i.e.: saccharin, aspartame, sucralose – pink, blue and yellow respectivly).

Removing and eliminating the MSG from your life is not an easy undertaking, I am sorry to say.  Especially if you eat out very often.  A great place to start on this journey of removing harmful chemicals from your life is to completly avoid anything with MSG!  See the list above for other names that MSG might be called on a label.

Tips for Avoiding MSG

• Organic whenever possible.
• Prepare your own food. Use ingredients, spices and foods that are not processed.
• When using spices, pre-packed foods, etc. make a trip to a Health Food Store and buy them without the harmful ingredients.

It’s your life and your health we are talking about.  I’m sure that the cost will be made up in increased energy, less doctor visits and missed work.  I assure you that just because you are eating organic and healthy that is doesn’t have to taste bad.  Ask any of my friends and family – I love to eat.  I love the taste of food.  When Julia Child was asked by her husband what she liked to do, her reply was “eat”!  That is so me! I have been doing it for years and while I understand and sympathize with the expense it is worth it and the healthy alternatives most often actually taste better than those chemical laden counterparts.

A few good example of previous recommendations are switching from table salt to sea salt and from conventional ground beef to grass-fed organic beef.  Give them a try for a few months then try your “old friends” again – and you will quickly see why I recommend the things that I do.

Foods and products that you may not realize contain MSG are: chips, candy, gum, medications, vitamin and nutritional supplements, vaccines and bottled drinks. I am not trying to scare you, I just want you to be aware and be careful. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

[singlepic=14,320,240,,left]This wonderful supplement goes way beyond any other B12 products that I have seen, used or recommended for my patients. It’s unique sublingual formula provides 2000mcg Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), 30mg NSE Methylators, 200mcg Folic Acid, 25mcg Biotin, 4mg Vitamin B-6, as several other co-factors.  Research supports the fact that sublingual administration of B-12 provides almost identical benefits as injections of Vitamin B-12.

When taken in combination with our Lypospheric Vitamin C, dramatic lowering of homocysteine levels and benefits in prevention of Alzheimer’s, aging, cancer and arteriosclerosis have been seen. Do some additional research about what major organizations like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are saying about high levels of homocysteine.  Beyond B-12 brings the most beneficial B Vitamins, along with Folic acid and B-6 into the body in a proven absorbable method.  This is so important because if you are not absorbing it you are wasting your money and offering no health benefits to your system.

Folic acid deficiency is an problem of epidemic proportions. Folic acid deficient people are extremely susceptible to viral, fungal and bacterial infections. Drinking alcohol will destroy folic acid stores within your body making you deficient. This process can happen very quickly. Folic acid has been shown to slow the onset of Alzheimer’s and minimize the severity of symptoms. There are studies that show that a large portion of all pregnant women are at a severe risk of folic acid deficiency, which can lead to cleft palate, brain damage and developmental and learning disabilities in the child.  Folic acid has also been shown to help combat a circulation problem.  This is such a common problem in the aging population.  It offers an effective method to dialate the small vessels.  Folic Acid along with B12 and the supplment WOBENZYM offers effective cardiovascular support unlike the use of aspirin which may give you a false sense of security when you are trying to prevent heart attacks and strokes. 

B-6 is vital to assist with the body’s ability to utilize protein, which is essential for the replacement of the hundreds of billions cells that we wear out daily.  B-6 deficiency is associated with loss of hair, water retention, numbness and cramps in the arms and legs, visual disturbances and increased urination.  B-6 has such wonderful results for women that it has been called the “woman’s vitamin” because it is so vital to their physical and mental well-being.

There is also some evidence that Methylcobalamin can be associated with restoring male sexual potency by improving testicular function.  This is a whole additional topic all by itself.  There are several other products that work so well on this front such as Testropinol, Beyond Testosterone, Beyond Growth Hormone, etc. If this is an issue please contact me so that we can review any labs you may have a formulate a protocol specifically for you.
