Green Drinks! YUCK!!

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

 nanogreens

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.

Parasites…YUCK! What can be done??

tapeworm

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

1 Trichomonas Infection. Centers for Disease Control.

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!

Pau D’ Arco – What’s it for??

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I cannot think of a situation in which Pau d’arco doesn’t comes to mind. This is an amazing bark from a tree with widespread healing properties. It is derived from the inner bark of the Tabebuia Avellanedae or Tabebuia Impetiginosa (Taheebo) tree grown in South America. It is also known by other names such as Lapacho. Pau d’Arco Tea has been used for many centuries by the Indio tribes of South America. The ancient Incas and Aztecs were probably the first to be familiar with the herb’s healing capabilities.

It is an ozoniferous plant, and grows only in the mountains of the Andes. Ozone air is fresh, pure, and free from pollution, smog, exhaust, smoke and pesticides. Researchers have discovered that the Pau D’Arco tree is the only type of vegetation known that will not permit the development of fungus. Most plant life, when exposed to weather and excess moisture, will become covered with spores which lead to fungus formation. Fungus and candida are something that just about everyone, to some extent, is dealing with and taking this wonderful herb will assist in regaining and/or maintaining health!

This herb has been shown useful for a variety of conditions ranging from:

· fungus

· yeast

· acne

· candida

· cancer (prostate, breast, liver, uterine)

· bacteria & viruses

· allergies

· diabetes, arthritis including pain and inflammation

· skin conditions, including psoriasis

· liver cleanse and detoxifier

· useful in boosting energy

· chemical sensitivities

· Fatigue

Other actions that have documented by using Pau d’Arco have shown that it is a hepatotonic – which means it tones, balances and strengthens the liver. It is also an immunostimulant, its benefits will also strengthen the body’s immune system, which assists heavily in preventing liver disease. Claims have also been made that it assists in removing poisons from the liver tissue, as well as promoting healthy liver function. From a Naturopathic perspective this is a fundamental organ that must be healthy to maintain a body that is in homeostasis. Having a clean and healthy liver means many things – healthy skin, nails, stomach and blood.

If you search the web you will find an overwhelming amount of information available on this miraculous herb. I like this product so much because it is loaded with amazing properties and minerals. It can be used to virtually sustain life because it is practically a food. We are not using this to forcibly to make some “change” within the body – we are gently helping the body to return to its natural healthy state of homeostasis.

When selecting a brand to use for medicinal purposes, please be extremely selective as to which product you choose. I have used several brands and the one that I use at home and recommend exclusively is from Blessed Herbs – is it available in the on-line store and in our clinic. I chose this company for their high quality control and stringent selectivity of the herbs and the processing.

Pau d’Arco is the most useful when it has been made into a tincture. That just means that after the herb has been harvested it has been soaked in an alcohol. Soaking it in the alcohol extract the most potent ingredients and helps it to be assimilated and utilized by the body most effectively. The benefits of this amazing plant are endless…

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! Good luck!

Gut Issues and Detoxification!

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

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.

Cancer… Is it a fungus?

Monday, October 13th, 2008

virus.jpgWELL… is it?  FUNGUS? Read the interview with the author of the book – Cancer is a fungus! Dr. Simoncini says that it is a fungus!! Cancer is a very controversial subject…however, that being said, I believe that it is as well! Dr. Simoncini has been treating cancer in Rome for years with fantastic results.  I have read his book and conversed with him – and based on my research and explorations – he has solidified in my mind the importance of proper pH balance in the body. 

In my opinion it is important to main proper pH in the body as a overall preventative measure for cancer. There are several things that are part of my current regime that I recommend that help to assist the body’s pH to be more alkaline.

One of my most favorite, cost effective and simple ways to do this is with Apple Cider Vinegar.  It must be Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar! Add 1 tablespoon of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar with 1 tsp of Organic, Raw, Highly Enzymatic Honey with 8-10 ounces of water.  Mix well and drink 2-3 times per day. 

This old folk remedy is so beneficial I can’t think of a reason why you shouldn’t make it part of your daily routine. In fact, I just discovered that the mother of a close friend, who happens to be a nurse, has been doing this for years - attributes this to her optimal health.

Another remedy that works well for maintaining a good pH and optimal body alkalinzation is Ionized Water. (coming soon)

Green Drink (coming soon)!!

If you would like more information on what he is doing in regards to the treatment of cancer… I can’t recommend enough that you get his book.  Cancer is a Fungus, by Tulio Simoncini, M.D.
