			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</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>

			<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">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>
