<p>It is very important to note that thimerosal has never been removed from flu shots. You get, each time, the full 25 micrograms of toxic mercury. I assure you that, although mercury is just one of the reasons no one has the optimal health and lifespan we were meant to enjoy &#8212; you WANT it all out!!</p>
<p>We get copious amounts of mercury from sources ranging from dental expsoure to the burning of fossil fuels! At birth we come prepackaged with plenty of mercury.

<p>All About THIMEROSAL &#8211; Why the Controversy?&#8230;<br />
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen<br />
Tuesday, August 16th, 2011</p>
<p>If you look to the right, in the column box, you&#8217;ll see that this is the eighth article in a series that, for the most part, is about Mark and David Geier, and the team surrounding them&#8217;s, effort to remove, finally, Thimerosal (mercury), from medicines &#8211; especially vaccines &#8211; and the attack on them for their efforts.</p>
<p>As I sifted through the issues, and consequently, the people involved in those issues, I again and again asked the question &#8220;Why doesn&#8217;t the pharmaceutical industry just make vaccines without Thimerosal?&#8221; I received a lot of different answers in the form, primarily, of hypothesis. No definite answers.</p>
<p>I suspect that the answers are a combination of things we&#8217;ll talk about as we go along. But, for now, let me point out some history, lest we forget about how mankind&#8217;s institutions actually function.</p>
<p>So-called &#8220;Medical Science&#8221; is really anything but. </p>
<p>I have to laugh when I see one more group setting itself up as the protectors of &#8220;Evidenced Based Medicine,&#8221; or some other equally impressive sounding nonsense cliché. You only have to look as far, for instance, as the wanna-be &#8220;Czar/God of US Health Care&#8221; Stephen Barrett for an example of the self-promoting nobodies, with no qualifications, who proclaim that they, and they alone, are the authority on proper health care. Frankly, Barrett represents nothing new. There has always been a &#8220;Barrett,&#8221; in health care.</p>
<p>History shows us, quite clearly, that the &#8220;authority&#8221; figures in each medical science period, for the most part, were the biggest of fools, the most pompous of idiots, and the worst possible people to direct health care. For some reason, consistently, scum rises to the surface in our official health care systems.</p>
<p>So, why should we, here in 2011 think things should be any different? Why should we think that, somehow, health care could, or would, be dominated by thinking individuals who ask the proper questions, and find solutions. Nah, that&#8217;s what we have bureaucracies like the FDA, and the CDC, for. Society seems to demand that we set up systems (agencies) to do things the dumbest way possible. Of course, the FDA and the CDC excel at that. Lawrence J. Peter said it best with his Peter Principle- &#8220;in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence&#8221;.<br />
Peter also said &#8220;Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.&#8221;</p>
<p>With that &#8211; let&#8217;s talk about Thimerosal&#8230;<br />
Mercury is a deadly toxin &#8211; in any form. Deadly to any living entity. The product Thimerosal (Merthiolate) is a mercury-containing pharmaceutical compound that is 49.55% mercury. It was developed in 1927. More, unlike other forms of mercury, Thimerosal, is both water and fat soluble &#8211; meaning that it immediately penetrates into every part of the human body, and attaches itself wherever it wants. When it is injected, as in vaccines, the human body&#8217;s natural defense mechanisms that would work to catch and expel INGESTED forms of mercury, are completely bypassed allowing Thimerasol to quickly bind itself in places in the body we definitely DO NOT want it &#8211; like the brain.</p>
<p>Thimerosal has been marketed as an antimicrobial agent in a range of products, including topical antiseptic solutions and antiseptic ointments for treating cuts. It was in nasal sprays, eye solutions, vaginal spermicides, and diaper rash treatments. Perhaps most importantly it is used, even now, as a preservative in vaccines and other injectable biological products, including Rho(D)-immune globulin preparations. </p>
<p>Despite evidence, dating to the early 1930s, indicating Thimerosal to be potentially hazardous to humans and ineffective as an antimicrobial agent it is still being used. </p>
<p>Crazy as it sounds, Thimerosal was not scrutinized as part of U.S. pharmaceutical products until the 1980s, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finally recognized its demonstrated ineffectiveness and toxicity in topical pharmaceutical products, and began to eliminate it from these. In 1998, finally, the US FDA took topically used (applied to the skin) Thimerosal products off of the market &#8211; as being too dangerous.<br />
Insane as it sounds, the US FDA didn&#8217;t seem to have a problem with that same mercury being INJECTED directly into the human body &#8211; especially into our children. Worse, Thimerosal continues to be administered, as part of mandated immunizations and other pharmaceutical products, in the United States, and globally. </p>
<p>Just to bring things up to date &#8211; let&#8217;s look at the most recent Australian study on the relationship between Autism and mercury:</p>
<p>ATLANTA, Aug. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ &#8212; Researchers from Australia have identified an ancestry of Pink Disease (Infantile Acrodynia) as a risk factor for Autism Spectrum Disorders. Pink disease was common in the first half of the 20th century &#8230; </p>
<p>The new study, published July 28th in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health available at http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15287394.2011.590097?journalCode=uteh20, investigated the hypothesis that autism can result from the interaction between mercury exposure and a genetic predisposition to sensitivity to mercury. Currently, 43 peer-reviewed studies support a link between mercury and autism, and experts agree that autism is caused by the interaction of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures. </p>
<p>The Australian researchers, David Austin, Ph.D. and Kerrie Shandley investigated whether individuals with a known hypersensitivity to mercury were more likely to have descendants with an autism spectrum disorder. They surveyed 522 adult survivors of Pink Disease about the health of their grandchildren. They found that 1 in 25 of these grandchildren had an autism spectrum disorder compared to 1 in 160 children of the same ages in the general population in Australia, a staggering six-fold increase in relative risk. Dr. Austin had the following comment, &#8220;The large elevation in autism prevalence in this group of children was startling especially given that rates of other childhood disorders were at expected levels. The thing that differentiates these children from the general population, to which they were compared, is a family history of mercury sensitivity. We were simply blown away by the results.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get to the part about vaccines&#8230;<br />
After a massive uproar, beginning in roughly the year 2000, and continuing through 2004, the US branch of the vaccine industry began to offer, in the US and Canada ONLY, childhood vaccines without Thimerosal. This affected only the four million (4,000,000) children born each year in those two countries of North America. ALL other countries&#8217; newborn, estimated at one hundred million (100,000,000) children get Thimerosal-packed, deadly-mercurized, puss-encrusted, God-only-knows-where-they-are-made, so-called-vaccines.</p>
<p>In the 1990s, in the US and Canada, and the rest of the world then and now, newborns, received, during the first eighteen months of life, a total of 237.5 micrograms of deadly-mercury, in the form of Thimerosal, included as a preservative (cringe here) in the childhood vaccines injected into our children..</p>
<p>It is VERY important to note that Thimerosal has NEVER been removed from flu shots. You get, each time, the FULL 25 micrograms of deadly-mercury.</p>
<p>The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the maximum standard for exposure to mercury at .1 (point one) microgram per kilogram of body weight per day. A flu shot, for instance, has 25 micrograms of mercury in the form of Thimerosal. A person would have to weigh 250 kilograms (550 pounds) to be able to deal with the mercury in one flu shot.</p>
<p>Not many newborns weigh that much (not even elephants). Pediatricians now, in 2011, demand THREE flu shots for newborns up to eighteen months &#8211; and one for the mother while she was pregnant with the child. Add that up.</p>
<p>Vaccines are the mainstay-income-stream for Pediatricians.<br />
So, let&#8217;s take a look at the reality of the mandatory childhood vaccine schedule from the 1990s&#8230;</p>
<p>237.5 micrograms of mercury in the first eighteen months? Yup. Let me show you how that works:</p>
<p>Newborns get one shot: Hep B (12.5 mcg). A newborn baby, by EPA standards, would have to weigh, at the time of vaccination, two hundred and twenty-five (225) pounds to meet those EPA mercury standards.<br />
At sixty days: Hep B (12.5 mcg), DTP (25 mcg), and HIB (25 mcg) &#8211; for a total of seven vaccines (grouped) with 62.5 mcg of deadly-mercury. A two month old baby, by EPA standards, would have to weigh, at the time of vaccination, one thousand three hundred and twenty-five (1,325) pounds to meet those EPA mercury standards.</p>
<p>At one hundred twenty days: DTP (25 mcg), and HIB (25 mcg) &#8211; for a total of six vaccines (grouped) with 50 mcg of deadly-mercury. A newborn baby, by EPA standards, would have to weigh, at the time of vaccination, one thousand one hundred (1,100) pounds to meet those EPA mercury standards.</p>
<p>At one hundred eighty days: The same series as at 60 days &#8211; Hep B (12.5 mcg), DTP (25 mcg), and HIB (25 mcg) &#8211; for a total of seven vaccines (grouped) with 62.5 mcg of deadly-mercury. A six month old baby, by EPA standards, would have to weigh, at the time of vaccination, one thousand three hundred and twenty-five (1,325) pounds to meet those EPA mercury standards.</p>
<p>At fifteen to eighteen months: DTP (25 mcg), and HIB (25 mcg) &#8211; for a total of six vaccines (grouped) with 50 mcg of deadly-mercury. An eighteen month old baby, by EPA standards, would have to weigh, at the time of vaccination, one thousand one hundred (1,100) pounds to meet those EPA mercury standards.</p>
<p>Just think &#8211; Two hundred thirty seven point five (237.5) mcg of MANDATORY deadly mercury injected into your child in the first eighteen months of life.</p>
<p>Is anyone surprised that the Autism rates increased radically? So did the rates for Asthma, ADD/ADHD, and many other problems.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the worldwide childhood vaccine schedule now, in 2011?<br />
It is all of the above and more. Of course, the vaccine apologists, like the CDC, the pseudo-skeptics and the &#8220;neurodiversity&#8221; nitwits, will delight in telling you &#8220;Thimerosal was removed from childhood vaccines in 2004, blah, blah, blah&#8230;&#8221; But what they will NOT mention is that that deadly mercury concoction was ONLY removed from the childhood vaccines distributed to the four million (4,000,000) newborns, each year, in the US in Canada. They, slyly, forget to mention the, to them, unnoticeable one hundred million (100,000,000) newborns in the rest of the world. Conveniently, they forget the DEMAND that the child get THREE flu shots (25 mcg each) during that same period.</p>
<p>It is time for a little VERY DARK humor&#8230;</p>
<p>I have met a lot of parents of Autistic children. I commend them for just being there for their child. With them, I see what heroes are made of. I could never make light of their life tasks &#8211; and I will not.</p>
<p>But, there are parts of this situation that need to be treated with ridicule. I am about to give you a sample.</p>
<p>For instance, it is well known that Pediatricians are the front line in the vaccine scenario foisted on the public. The vaccine industry very much kisses up to Pediatricians, with travel-paid &#8220;conferences&#8221; in Hawaii, Paris, Rio De Janeiro, where they are given their new lines for the script they memorize to use on the parents of patients.</p>
<p>One common story they are taught to use is the claim that &#8220;The 237.5 micrograms of mercury needs to be divided up on a daily basis over the life of the child. If the child lives to be eighty than the daily average amount is far less than the EPA mercury standard&#8230;&#8221;<br />
Well, yeah&#8230;</p>
<p>So, if your doctor tells you that story then offer to do a &#8220;Heavy Metal Exchange&#8221; with him/her using the same logic. Offer to exchange lead for mercury.</p>
<p>Point out to your pediatrician that a .45 caliber ACP bullet contains 230 grains of lead. One grain of lead is equal to 64.8 milligrams. Offer to exchange, on a right now basis, one 230 grain lead application, delivered from four feet away, for each 25 micrograms of mercury applied to your child. If they hesitate, point out that a 230 grain bullet using the same mercury formula they explained to you, could hardly do them damage, because, dividing it up every day for eighty years would give them very little each day. Ask them if they&#8217;d prefer a .45 ACP hollow point or a full metal jacket &#8211; their choice. Explain to them that a &#8220;full metal jacket&#8221; round is kind of like a &#8220;booster shot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hey, logic is logic&#8230; Dark humor or not.<br />
Stay tuned.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="flag-singlepic flag-left" src="http://www.askdrskip.com/wp-content/flagallery/product-pics/asea.jpg" alt="" align="left" />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.</p>
<p>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,<a title="REACTIVE MOLECULES" href="http://www.askdrskip.teamasea.com/" target="_blank"> www.askdrskip.teamasea.com</a>. 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.<br />
ASEA &#8211; $37.00 per bottle<br />
 [wp_cart:ASEA:price:37.00:end]</p>
<p>Recently, ASEA Corporation flew me, to their headquarters to meet the founders, CEO’s and the key scientist behind ASEA, Dr. Gary Samuelson &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Additionally, ASEA has been clinically shown to improve adrenal fatigue, skin issues, and immune system disorders; not to mention bacterial, fungal and viral loads.</p>
<p>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&#8230;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.</p>
<p>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: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/ASEAvideo">www.YouTube.com/ASEAvideo</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.askdrskip.com/wp-content/gallery/blog-pics/oregano-oil_0.jpg" alt="oregano-oil_0" /></p>
<p>Oregano is just one of those things that is handy to keep around and use frequently. There aren’t many things (I am really starting to sound like a broken record here) that I recommend taking continuously, but oregano is NOT one of those things.</p>
<p>There are many various studies that have been done that have shown this amazing oil is a potent purifier for the body. The two primary compounds that make up oregano are thymol and carvacrol. Both of which have proven to have positive effects on harmful bacteria and microorganisms that cause many various illnesses.</p>
<p>It is important to not get the conventional spice Oregano confused with the Oil of Oregano. They have a similar taste, but the Oil of Oregano is where the health benefits are gained. The spice is called Origanum Marjoram, while Oil of Oregano is derived from Origanum Vulgare.</p>
<p>Carvacrol from Oil of Oregano is a natural phenol that has powerful anti-microbial activity. The flavonoids provide natural antiseptic properties, and the Terpenes are natural anti-inflammatory agents. You know how much I love the natural anti-inflammatory products!! Just read the article I wrote on Wobenzym.</p>
<p>Wild Organic Oregano is rich in a long list of minerals including calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, boron, and manganese as well as Vitamins C and A (beta carotene) and niacin.</p>
<p>It’s extremely safe and very effective. Both of which are things that I love in a health supplement. Oregano Oil has many wonderful redeeming health benefits. Let’s break them down…</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OREGANO OIL BENEFITS </span></strong></p>
<p>Skin Infections – effective against the harmful bacteria and organisms and improves the texture and quality of the skin<br />
Immune System – will boost the immune system<br />
Respiratory System – thins the mucous making it easier to breath in various respiratory illnesses (useful in problems in the sinus’, colds, flu and sore throats)<br />
Digestive System – due to the functionality of the main ingredients, Oil of Oregano has been shown to help soothe the digestive tract and help with an upset stomach.<br />
Inflammation – this can be due to rashes, gingivitis and/or rash or skin infections – use topically, but dilute it with some coconut or olive oil as straight Oil of Oregano is very strong and can irritate if used full strength<br />
Detoxification – this is a great general detoxifier for the system as it just gets rid of various little bugs that like to invade our systems and cause trouble</p>
<p>SIDE EFFECTS of Oil of Oregano are minimal. As with pretty much any product it should not be taken long term. Long term use can inhibit the absorption of iron – so if for any reason you need to take it long term, iron supplementation may be warranted. This would be something you would need to talk to a healthcare provider about. If you are pregnant long term use of this product should be avoided.</p>
<p>The Oil of Oregano that we stock comes from an exceptional company and their product has no artificial chemicals or toxic byproducts, kosher and suitable for vegetarians and contains many essential minerals and vitamins.</p>
<p>The Oil of Oregano can be taken internally and used topically. A general dose (please read labels) is 3-5 drops in some juice – orange will help mask the taste. This can be taken for 5-7 days depending on the severity of the issue.</p>
<p>I, of course, prefer that you use a product that is organic and/or wild crafted. The one we recommend has been selected because of the proper concentrations of the primary ingredients as well as the fact that it is from an organic and high quality source.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Nanogreens – What are they and why you need them??</span></strong></p>
<p> <a title="NANOGREENS!!!" href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=94" target="_blank"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.askdrskip.com/wp-content/flagallery/product-pics/nanogreens.jpg" alt="nanogreens" /></a></p>
<p>An amazing team of scientists, physicians, nutritionists, and pharmacists joined together to formulate an amazing product called <a title="Green Drink - Get Your Fruits &amp; Veggies" href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=94" target="_blank">Nanogreens</a>. 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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=94" target="_blank">Nanogreens is a little green blessing in disguise because it actually tastes great.</a> It has been formulated to synergistically mix well with the <a title="NANOPRO Protein Powder" href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=163" target="_blank">protein powder from the same company called NanoPro</a>. By mixing the Nanogreens and Nanopro together it creates a powerhouse of protein and greens for a morning meal.</p>
<p>My morning ritual is my <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=78" target="_blank">“<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Terramin Dirt Drink</span>” (its clay actually…I have  coined it the “Dirt Drink”)</a> 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 <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=163" target="_blank">NanoPro</a> and <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=94" target="_blank">NanoGreens</a> mixed together.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=94" target="_blank">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.</a></p>
<p>Nanogreens and NanoPro allows you a simple and effective way to remedy this problem.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=94" target="_blank">Nanogreens is a super greens food that supplements your diet with up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables.</a></p>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li>naturally increase your energy</li>
<li>reduce appetite, improve metabolism, assists with weight loss</li>
<li>restore regular elimination and assist digestion</li>
<li>reduce inflammation, relieve stiff and achy joints and muscles</li>
<li>lower risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke</li>
<li>inhibit hardening of the arteries</li>
<li>protect your vision from age related vision loss</li>
<li>maintain strong bones</li>
<li>support immune function and increase resistance to infections</li>
<li>reduce allergy symptoms without drowsiness</li>
<li>improve mental acuity and protect mind and memory</li>
<li>detoxify toxic metals and chemicals</li>
<li>help slow aging of the skin and dulling of the hair</li>
</ul>
<p>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&#8217;s around 7-13 servings daily.</p>
<p>That is an incredible amount and even now most people do not even eat the recommended daily minimums!  What can be done about this??</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Extraordinary Ingredients</span></strong></p>
<p>Greens Blend (Barley Grass Juice Powder, Spirulina, Chlorella (Japanese soft shell)</p>
<p>Phyto-Nutrient Blend (Blueberry, Green Tea Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Cranberry, Raspberry, Tart Cherry, Pine Bark Extract, Broccoli, Tomato, Carrot, Spinach, Kale, Brussels Sprout, Bilberry, Elderberry, Pomegranate, Blackberry) Fruit &amp; Vegetable Blend (Apple, Carrot, Mango, Sweet Potato, Lemon, Parsley, Peach, Kale, Broccoli, Spinach, Leek*, Beet , Cranberry), Atlantic Kelp Powder, Artichoke Extract, Quinoa Sprout, Lemon Peel Powder, Cabbage (Japanese, fermented),Enzymes (plant-based-Alpha Amylase, Bromelain, Cellulase, Galactosidase, Glucoamylase, Hemicellulase, Lipase, Papain, Protease), Marigold Extract, Milk Thistle, Cinnamon Extract , Cinnamon Bark Powder, Green Tea, White Tea (decaffeinated), Aloe Vera Powder Extract, Acerola Cherry Powder</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Helping to identify a stoke can dramatically increase the chances of an effective treatment.  Please read and file in your memory banks for an emergency&#8230;and just pray you never have to use it.  But, if you do &#8211; then you will be prepared.</p>
<p>The sooner you get a stroke victim to the hospital the chances of saving their lives is increased exponentially.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>RECOGNIZING A STROKE</strong></span></p>
<p>Symptoms of a stroke can be difficult to identify, especially if you are not a medically trained person.  I don&#8217;t treat emergencies, so information like this is always helpful to have in the ole&#8217; memory banks&#8230;just in case.  It is a good reminder.</p>
<p>Educating yourself on the symptoms will help minimize the amount of fear and chaos present in a situation where there is lack of awareness&#8230;which could lead to disaster.</p>
<p>The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>You can recognize a stroke by asking three very simple questions:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><em>&#8216;When you think someone is having a stoke&#8230;just remember the first 3 letters of the word stroke&#8230;S.T.R.&#8217;</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;S&#8221;</strong> &#8212; Smile. If there is any drooping in the face or mouth &#8211; this may be a positive sign of a stoke.  You can also have them stick out their tongue.  If it is crooked or at an angle, then this can also be a sign of a stoke.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;T&#8221;</strong> &#8212; Talk.  Have them say the sentence, &#8220;You can&#8217;t teach an old dog new tricks&#8221;&#8230;If it is slurred or incoherent &#8211; there is a problem.  If they have had  a stroke they will not be able to say this sentence correctly.  Go to the hospital.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;R&#8221;</strong> &#8212; Raise arms.  Have them raise both of their arms with their eyes closed.  If there is an imbalance with their arms raised &#8211; call or get  them medical attention.</p>
<p>You can also have symptoms of dizziness, confusion, headache, sudden numbness on one side of body or in arms or legs and trouble seeing out of one eye.</p>
<p>There are many additional signs, symptoms and tests that would be performed at the hospital by a physician.  I am including a very abbreviated version here to help educate and keep you prepared in case of an emergency.  The sooner you can get to the hospital, the better the chances for an effective treatment. </p>
<p>If there is difficulty with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher and/or take them to the hospital.  Tell them the signs you have seen and that way they will know to direct you to the nearest center that can deal most effectively with the issue at hand.</p>
<p>What is Stroke&#8230;</p>
<p>A stroke is a loss of the blood being supplied to brain by a thrombus (a clot of blood which forms at the blockage), embolus (an object that moves from one part of the body and causes a blockage) or an injury (such as a head trauma).</p>
<p>There can be risk factors that can put one at a greater risk for having a stroke.</p>
<ol>
<li>Obesity</li>
<li>Heart disease and/or High Blood Pressure</li>
<li>Diabetes</li>
<li>Cigarette Smoking</li>
<li>Elevations in Cholesterol</li>
<li>Gender (more common in men, sorry guys)</li>
<li>Family history of strokes and cardiovascular disease</li>
<li>Poor Diet</li>
</ol>
<p><a title="drskip@askdrskip.com for a consultation" href="http://www.askdrskip.com/consultation/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">There is nothing that makes me happier than working with a healthy patient to setup a protocol to work on preventing isssues such as this.  This same individualized protocol can also be used to help prevent heart attacks as well.</a></p>
<p>Preventing a stroke is far easier than treating one.  If you have a stroke, then there is nothing more crucial than getting to the hospital as soon as possible.  The conventional medical profession excels in emergency situtations of this nature.</p>
<p>This article could really be a book &#8211; on the information regarding strokes alone, not to mention the vast amount of information that could be included pertaining to the wellness prevention of strokes.  So&#8230;that being said&#8230;I am not going to try to cram too much information in here for you too read.</p>
<p>However, for our time here there are several things that I recommend right off the bat!</p>
<p> <a title="Wobenzym for Prevention" href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.askdrskip.com/wp-content/flagallery/product-pics/wobenzym.jpg" alt="wobenzym" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Stroke " href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a title="WOBENZYM" href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">This product has been used for years in Europe (for treatment of as well as prevention of&#8230;strokes and heart attacks, not to mention that this is one of the best things I have even seen for inflammation and pain).</a></p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">When you first start using wobenzym</a>, especially for a man or woman that is 40 years or old is a dose of 10 (ten) pills, 3 (three) times per day on an empty stomach for about 4-6 months. After that time the dosage can be decreased, but if you are at risk, I would continue to take this product at a lower dose, indefinantly.  These are systemic enzymes that are most effective when there is nothing for them to do in the stomach.  By that, I mean that there is nothing for them to try and digest there.  They are most effective when they can go systemic (other parts of the body) and do there work of digesting.</p>
<p>Inflammation is a primary underlying cause of many issues from a more holistic standpoint.</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Beyond Chelation Improved" href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=63" target="_blank">Beyond Chelation-Improved &#8211; which is a fantastic all-inclusive vitamin supplement, formulated by Dr. Garry Gordon, a physician in Arizona that pioneered chelation therapy.  The dosge is 1 (one) packet, 2 (twice) daily with food.  Vitamins must be taken with food for the most part as they can upset your stomach and they need the food to be properly absorbed and utlized by your body.</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This is a very basic protocol &#8211; please get with a practitioner that is well versed in holistic wellness that can assist you with your goals. Additionally it is paramount that your hormones are balanced and at optimal levels &#8211; this includes both men and women.  Yes guys that means you!!  Get your levels checked too!!</p>
<p>This includes, thyroid, testosterone, progesterone, dhea-s, homocystine, fibrinogen and CRP C-reactive protein levels &#8211; just to mention a few.  Let&#8217;s chat!!</p>
<p>Make sure that you get adequate rest, drink plently of water, exercise and practice effective stress managment, such as meditation.</p>
<p><a title="Consultation with Dr. Skip drskip@askdrskip.com" href="http://www.askdrskip.com/consultation/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">I am available to help you on your path and with your goals of wellness&#8230;schedule an appointment with me today for your wellness education.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>T<a href="http://www.askdrskip.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wobenzym.jpg" class="broken_link"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-118" title="wobenzym" src="http://www.askdrskip.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wobenzym.jpg" alt="" width="156" height="251" /></a>he Following article was written by Dr. Garry Gordon, a physician and someone I hold in the highest regard. I consider him a mentor and listen intently when he speaks. I have been utilizing his protocols and products with my family and patients for many years. One thing is for sure where Dr. Gordon is concerned&#8230;he cares about one thing &#8211; YOUR HEALTH! He is one amazing man on the front-lines, fighting your health and health rights. Products that are created or recommended by Dr. Gordon <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WORK</strong></span>! Its just that simple. It would be my pleasure to help educate you on health and health care matters if you have any questions about products or protocols discussed here. </em></p>
<p><em>Below is an article written about a product that my fellow doctors tease me, that if didn&#8217;t exist or was pulled from the market&#8230; then how could I continue to practice! </em></p>
<p><em>There is seldom a condition that I can think of that wouldn&#8217;t benefit from the on-going use of <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>. </em></p>
<p><em>Please read his article very carefully, and please don&#8217;t hesitate to make an appointment with me if you have any questions about implementing anything that I discuss into your health regiment&#8230;</em></p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>® is backed by millions of dollars of research. While this research has been primarily done in Europe, there are FDA &#8211; approved studies under way in the United States on the effects of <a href="http://" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a> on Osteo-Arthritis and Multiple Myeloma. Studies in Europe have documented an average lowering of C-reactive protein levels (a marker of chronic infection in the body) of 30%!</p>
<p>New research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, has documented that higher levels of C-reactive protein have up to 6 times the incidence of death from heart attack and stroke as lower levels. This obviously means that long-term use of <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>® can be life saving.</p>
<p>In addition, it has the well deserved reputation of being the leading natural safe alternative for anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Ibuprofen. Anti-inflammatory drugs kill over 25,000 people each year in the U.S. and send many more to the hospital needing care for side effects, such as bleeding ulcers. In contrast, <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>® is sold in over 40 countries, has been used by millions, and has killed no one!</p>
<p>Olympic teams use <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>®. This is because it works so well, as shown by a 50% reduction in reported injuries, and because it remarkably enhances healing after injury. This is partly due to the RUTIN&#8217;s (bioflavanoids) ability to prevent the discoloration and local pain associated with traumatic injuries. For these same reasons, leading surgeons now routinely prescribe the use of Wobenzym® to prevent bruising and edema and the associated pain for their post-surgical patients.</p>
<p>Focused on treating the molecular causes of many health problems, <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>® has been shown beneficial in virtually every health problem.</p>
<p>To become familiar with Enzyme Therapy, we recommend reading Enzymes, A Drug of the Future, by Dr. Heinrich Wrba.</p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>®, acting synergistically with our oral chelation product <a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=63" target="_blank">Beyond Chelation Improved</a><sup>TM</sup>, has been shown to:</p>
<p>Substantially reduce the incidence of fatal blood clots now known to be induced by the sudden breakdown of vulnerable plaque. </p>
<p>Increase feelings of well-being because of its antioxidant and cholesterol lowering effects.</p>
<p>Allow fewer heart attacks or strokes because of anti-thrombotic, anti-spasmodic and anti-arrhythmic abilities.</p>
<p>Promote longevity due to the control of many of the molecular bases of aging.</p>
<p>Improve results with arterial blockages caused by Herpes and CMV. </p>
<p>Provide protection from environmental toxins in the air, water and food.</p>
<p>Be beneficial when used to treat Autoimmune, Rheumatic and Cardiovascular Diseases, Inflammations, Injuries, Infections, and Tumor Illnesses, Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Joint and Muscle Pain, Herpes and Other Viral Infections, Cancer and Hepatitis C, Recurrent Miscarriages and many other Degenerative Diseases.</p>
<p>THE REAL PROOF IS IN YOUR RESULTING HEALTH!</p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>® is formulated with natural nutrients that work directly in the bloodstream. It is SAFE and effective with NO DETRIMENTAL SIDE EFFECTS. It can be taken regularly and with confidence to reduce pain and enhance the functioning of organs and bodily systems.</p>
<p><a href="http://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studio=AskDrSkip&amp;stype=43&amp;prodid=69" target="_blank">Wobenzym</a>® must IDEALLY be taken at least 30 minutes before meals or 60 minutes after meals. An excellent time to take it is just before bedtime and immediately upon arising. Keep the bottle next to your toothbrush. A common maintenance dose is 5 tablets twice daily, although the Cancer Treatment Centers of America routinely suggests 10 tablets 3 times a day.*</p>
