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.

REVOXIL I don’t know about you…but that picture just makes me sick.  I worked with a veterinarian for many years.  It was there that I realized parasites totally creeped me out.  We routinely checked for them in animals.  For some reason it seems to be lost in the conventional medical community.  Common sense dictates that if its a problem in animals and we have animals then just that thread of thought along would tell us to at least be aware that it could be a problem!

Chances are that you probably have them.  For the most part they are no big deal.  There are so many things within our system that we can handle without any issues.  However, many things can cause anyone of them to go out of balance.  These can include bacteria, virus, yeast and fungus.  Our systems are in a delicate balance and there are things that we do daily without realizing it that can cause them to be imbalanced – then something like the parasites can actually become problematic.

Parasites are gross little bugs that sustain off us, their “host”.  They set up shop in our bodies and become very comfortable and complacent and don’t want to leave. They can be very difficult to get rid of – so please be patient as it will take time.  One of the main symptoms of parasites is fatigue.  This is due to the fact that they place a tremendous amount of stress on the body and are actually consuming and causing the body to expend tremendous amount of energy to try and combat those pesky little critters.

If you are looking for a cleanse, a parasite cleanse in a great place to start.  Parasites can cause a whole “host” (no pun intended) of symptoms.

• Anemia
• Respiratory & Breathing Issues
• Headaches & Migraines
• Skin Issues such as Eczema
• Liver and Gallbladder Issues
• Fatigue
• Weight Gain or Weight Loss
• Yeast Infections and Candida
• The Whole Array of Digestive Issues – bloating, constipation and diarrhea

The product that I recommend for folks to use to get parasite issues under control is called Revoxil. What an amazing product! It contains all the ingredients that are so effective at returning the system to homeostasis (balance) from a parasitic perspective without the difficulty of having to swallow nasty tasting herbs. This product is a highly absorbable and extremely utilizable gel capsule that is incredibly easy to swallow.

Be sure to take it with a bit of food.  It is not uncommon for you to “taste” garlic due to the high concentrations present in the capsules.  However, rest assured that it is working.

The nutritional support in Revoxil will help your rid your body of disease and fatigue causing parasites with a proprietary blend of black walnut hull, wormwood, garlic, clove seed and catechu seed from Healthwalk.

Donna Gate’s of Body Ecology (www.bodyecology.com) has some staggering statistics on her site about parasite…I have included the main one’s below…

If you thought parasites were only in undeveloped countries, you may be surprised to find out how common they are in the U.S., for example:

• According to the Centers for Disease Control, Trichomonas, a sexually transmitted disease, is the most common parasitic infection in the U.S. accounting for 7.4 million new cases annually. ¹
• More than 60 million people in the U.S. are infected by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which causes the disease toxoplasmosis and can be symptomless, cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph gland or organ damage.²

2 Toxoplasmosis. Centers for Disease Control.

http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/toxoplasmosis/factsht_toxoplasmosis.htm#what

Please be advised that the general consensus on implementing a parasite eradication program but be a commitment of 4-6 months. Then 1-2 months per year there after to maintain good health. It is not uncommon for parasites to be reintroduced to the system. Even in the U.S. parasites are everywhere. We can even get them from our pets.

The recommended dosing from the manufacturer for Revoxil is one (1) capsule three (3) times per day for thirty (30) days.  After thirty (30) days take one (1) capsule daily for ninety (90) days. Then take a hiatus from the Revoxil.  This is an aggressive anti-parasite program.   It is not recommend to begin such a protocol without assistance from a healthcare practitioner who is well versed in these holitic, non-invasive methods of wellness. Click here now to setup a consultation with Dr. Skip to guide you through this process.

Please keep in mind that once you begin a protocol of this nature it is very common for the adage “you may get worse before you get better” to hold true.  If you start to feel sick or worsening of your current symptoms, decrease the dosage to your level of tolerance and then slowly work back to the originial dose.  This is just another example of why you should have someone working with you on your path to health and wellness.

Be Well!

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.

Are you self conscious about your breath? Did you know that 80% of bad breath is caused from bacteria that has accumulated on your tongue? This bacteria looks like white-yellowish coating on the tongue.  Remove this film gently with a stainless steel tongue cleaner. 

I recommend doing this technique once daily in the morning, right before you do your meditation. What I do in the morning is – brush my teeth, gargle with H.P.M. (hydrogen peroxide mouthwash from Heritage) and then clean my tongue. Some of the newer toothbrushes have a tongue cleaner built-in. While they work I don’t feel that they remove the majority of the coating that the stainless steel tongue cleaner does. Don’t forget to floss too!

David Greenspan of the Chopra Center always uses the acronym R.P.M. in regards to meditation. Rise, Pee and Meditate – I love this. It is a great morning ritual. Just be sure to add the tongue cleaning into it.

You will notice that your mouth and breath are clean and fresh. Please be gentle on your tongue - clean your tongue with light pressure. The best way to brush your teeth is to make a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. This is a gentle and effective way to clean the teeth without the use of conventional toothpastes – which contain harmful ingredients. Keep your eyes peeled for an artice on Fluoride. If you are going to use a toothpaste – please consider a brand such as Spry or Tom’s of Maine. Personally, I use the baking soda and peroxide mixture 2-3 times per week and Spry Peppermint Toothpaste the remainder, and I always choose products without fluoride.

The white film that accumulates on your tongue is a direct connection to your digestion and the foods you are consuming.  If you are experiencing weight gain, allergies, constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea – anything digestion related – let me help. Schedule a time to talk with me. Digestion issues are also connected directly to what you are eating. You could be experiencing what we call in the holistic community “food sensitivities”. There is a simple test that can tell us what your sensitivities are.

After removing these “sensitive” foods from your diet and healing your gut… many of these symptoms disappear and your quality of life improves. These technques are great way to prevent problems down the road. Always remember it is much easier to prevent than it is to treat.

One of my closest friends always says “Your best defense is your immune system.” Keep that healthy and you are in good shape.”
