North American Health or Sickness ?

 

Spending on prescription drugs in the United States has risen nearly 6-fold since 1990, concurrent with adverse drug reactions tripling between 1995 and 2005. Research finds drug reactions are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

Canadian statistics follow the US very closely; just divide numbers by 10 to reflect proportionate population.

An excellent research report from the Annals of Family Medicine has eye-opening results which everyone should be aware of. Your life depends on it.

The full article link is at the end of this summary.

One primary goal to increase prescription spending and profits by finding ways to get healthy people to take drugs, which in the long run, will make them sick, leading to more drugs. Sounds simple? It is. Two methods commonly used are:

1. Change the diagnostic standards which govern treatment and prescribing. Two examples are:

  • For hypertension (high blood pressure), the acceptable norm in 1992 was 160/95. The very next year, in 1993, the norm was lowered to 140/90, resulting in an additional 22.0 million people being diagnosed with the  “disease”.
  • The acceptable level of fasting plasma glucose in 1992 was 140 mg/DL. In 1998 this was lowered to 120 resulting in 10. 3 million more people being diagnosed as diabetic, and likely prescribed medication(s).

2. Create new conditions, or “pre-conditions”, which can be treated with drugs:

Both terms “pre-hypertensive” and “pre-diabetic”, have resulted in consequent drug treatment of these new conditions. This approach is not helping North Americans to be healthier. The revised guidelines encourage treatment of pre-disease conditions with drugs, rather than lifestyle changes to prevent the disease.

This does, however, help enrich the pharmaceutical pocketbook immensely, allowing them increasing control over industry standards, medical training, safety standards, and public health policy. The downward spiral of health continues as Big Pharma gains.

Prescription drugs often accumulate in what has been called a prescribing cascade, whereby a prescribed drug produces symptoms for which more drugs are prescribed, resulting in polypharmacy and further increasing the risk of adverse drug reactions. The prescribing cascade may be further sustained by clinicians failing to recognize that the drug they prescribed caused the new symptoms, even when the symptoms are well known to be associated with that drug.

Are Natural Traditional Remedies Safer and More Effective ?

The safe, natural traditional remedies are facing extinction by regulatory boards that are supported by Pharmacy industry to protect their own financial interests, not the public. For example, there ARE safe, effective natural approaches for hypertension, in products such as Blood Pressurex and Arginine Plus , or Power Beets.

For diabetes there are natural aids, such as Chromium GTF . Unfortunately these products have to be labelled “for those whose blood pressure / blood sugar levels in normal range”.  Why would you take these if your levels are in normal range?! People have to trust their suppliers, herbalists, natural health consultants to get beyond misleading government regulations which are limiting peoples’ choices in health care.

We encourage people to follow healthful lifestyle suggestions as in the Four Pillars to Health explained in Benoit’s book, The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer.

The natural approach to working with and preventing cancer offers insights into all chronic health conditions, with the goal of choosing optimum health, rather than  the North American Drug Ceremony.

Q&A : Thrush from anti-biotics

Candida /Fungus, Questions and Answers, Sinus, , , , , , , , , ,

Question:

Hi Lorene, me again!  I’m not 100% positive until I see a doctor, but I do believe I have developed oral thrush in my mouth.  I understand that one of the causes of oral thrush is from the use of antibiotics.  I mentioned to you before that I was having sinus infection issues and am currently on round 2 of antibiotics – the first prescription didn’t completely get rid of the infection.  I believe that acidophilus and probiotic yogurt is helpful in getting rid of this nasty thing.  Do you have any advice for me?  I will avoid going to the doctor unless absolutely necessary.  As always I appreciate your help.
Thanks Lorene.
AP, B.C.

Answer:

Yes, oral thrush is usually caused by antibiotics, and if this is your 2nd round, this is even more likely. It also sounds as if the anti-biotics are not working on the sinus infection, so I would suggest you getting on SN-X, a herbal formula excellent for  healing your sinus infection. Once cleared, which may take 2- 3 times/day, I would continue to cleanse and support  your sinus by taking another 2- 3 bottles, so it does NOT re-occur. Please refer to Sinus information on our website, for some other tips on sinus health, including salt water nasal flush.

Now for your thrush. Yes probiotics (pro-life) are essential to rebuild the friendly bacteria killed by the anti-biotics (against life). You would need to eat about a gallon of good yogurt to get the same amount as from one capsule of Bifidophilus Flora Force or Probiotic 11, which contains 11 different probiotic strains, so I would suggest either of these. We may have some in stock, if you need it, please phone the office, 250-748-6802.

I would take one whole bottle – 2-3 per day, on empty stomach, to also help re-establish healthy colonic bacteria, which is a major part of your overall immune system. You also want to discourage Candida overgrowth elsewhere in your body. Please read that article.

A few other things you can do in addition to get probiotics are listed here, as you may have some of these in your Herbal First Aid Kit:

Gargle 3-6 times per day, using any of the following, or alternate at different times of the day to suit your schedule:
  • Tea Tree Oil, or diluted pure Oregano Oil – if therapeutic strength, as NSP’s are, just 2 – 3 drops in 1/4 cup water is enough
  • warm salt water – about 1/2 tsp./2.5 ml. in 1/4 cup water
Hold and swish, then swallow to also help kill internal yeast; either:
  • Coconut butter or oil  5-15 minutes, then spit out – do not swallow – contains caprylic acid an anti-fungal

As with all conditions, for optimum health, I recommend you follow the 4 Pillars of Health as discussed in my book, The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer.

Magnesium – one of the Miracle Minerals

Fibromyalgia, Heart Health, , , , , , , ,

Magnesium is a vital element of the body, concentrated primarily in bones, but also an integral part of each & every cell in our body. Magnesium is essential for calcium absorption, glucose metabolism, cardiovascular health, nervous system and the production and balance of cellular energy.

Magnesium, also known as the “anti-stress”mineral, is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity. Magnesium is involved in nearly every essential bodily function, from the beating of the heart to the creation of bones and the regulation of blood sugar. It is so important that it is called the “gatekeeper of cellular activity”, signifying its critical role in cellular processes. This is particularly important considering the endemic rise of diabetes, with all the complications of the disease.

Magnesium is just one of many minerals and vitamins which research indicates that up to 80% modern society is generally Magnesium deficient.  Dr. Norman Shealy states, “Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency” and that, “magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other nutrient.”

Some additional specific benefits of a quality, absorbable Magnesium are:

• Helps with the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses
• Helps nerves to relax
• Helps regulate the heartbeat
• Helps burn fat, produce energy, regulate glucose levels
• Aids in maintaining the body’s proper pH balance, as one of the 4 main alkalizing minerals (K, Ca, Na and Mg)
• May help prevent depression, premenstrual syndrome, osteoporosis, pain in fibromyalgia, and cardiovascular disease
• Helps reduce and dissolve calcium phosphate kidney stones, and prevent occurrence
• Prevents premature labour and convulsions in pregnant women.

Lorene has worked with 3 different combinations of Magnesium from Nature’s Sunshine for over 30 years. Please contact her office to determine which will be the optimum one for you.

On page 170 of Lorene Benoit’s book  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally  a chart that shows the reduction of minerals in common foods since the 1940’s.

Agri – farming has created less nutritious food, causing most North American’s to be mineral deficient, and Magnesium is one of the most depleted in produce.  Consider 2 common foods: carrots contained 75% less Mg. in carrots and potatoes contained 35% less in 1990’s than 1940’s. Now, twenty years later?  It is even worse.

It is important to remember that there are critical ratios of  minerals in the human body. Two examples are between calcium and phosphorus, and calcium and magnesium. In  1940 average diet contained  a two to one ratio between phosphorus and calcium. Now there is a one to one ratio. This means that the phosphorus content of many foods has increased. These artificial new ratios  have an important effect on your body chemistry.

Many accepted nutritional references still recommend a dietary intake ratio of 2:1 Ca-Mg. Due to changed food quality and dietary intake, this has been felt to be inadequate, and Magnesium is often the greater deficiency. We  recommend that our clients take at least 1:1 Ca/Mg. ratio. Magnesium citrate, magnesium malate and magnesium HVP chelate are all well absorbed forms of this mineral, especially when quality tested, chelated or combined with magnesium rich herbs that enhance absorption.

In addition,  a balanced Calcium supplement needs to contain both Vit. D3 and Magnesium for effective absorption.  We suggest our clients take one Skeletal Strength with either one Magnesium Complex  or  one Magnesium Tablets 1-2 times per day dependant upon their needs.

In one study published in the Journal of Nutritional Medicine, 15 fibromyalgia patients were given either 1200 to 2400 mg of malic acid daily with 300 to 600 mg of magnesium for 4 to 6 weeks, or a placebo. All the patients receiving the malic acid with magnesium reported a marked decrease in pain within two days, which continued throughout the time they were receiving the treatment. When the women were switched over to the placebo, their condition deteriorated within 48 hours. The formula we recommend for this kind of muscle pain is Magnesium Malate.

How to Choose Quality Herbs & Supplements?

Business with NSP, Cancer, Herbal Wisdom, , , , , ,

According to Stanford Research Institute 80% of all consumers are very interested in improving their personal health.  The public is inundated with thousands of well meaning health companies trying to sell them products.  The internet is loaded with various health products, Alive and other health  magazines are full of advertisements and all ads are very convincing. Each company presents statements to convince us their products are the best.

Consequently we are providing you with seven guidelines to help you select the  health  products that will work for you. These 7 guidelines are in addition to the basic fact that “the proof is in the pudding”. By this I mean, we get results. In our business helping many thousands of people, plus in personal and family life we have had consistent results the last 30 years using these products. The following guidelines just help explain why. If you choose not to use Nature’s Sunshine Products to access the same quality supplements and herbs we do in our business, at least use these guidelines to help you choose wisely from other sources.

1. The product company must provide lab research as does Nature’s Sunshine. NSP has a team of dedicated Research and Development scientists to provide us  the largest range of the finest vitamin, and herbal supplements in the world. Latin names to correctly identify herbs are a must.

2. Does the company have a long standing reputation?  Nature’s Sunshine has over 41 years of operation behind it. It is the oldest company of encapsulated herbs in the North America, and still the most respected in herbal circles. Many of the top Nature’s Sunshine distributors have been a part of the Nature’s Sunshine company for over 35 years. This is unheard of in the industry of direct selling.

3. Nature’s Sunshine conducts over 600 different testing procedures in Microbiology, Herb and Purity testing, foreign material testing and quality testing. Nature’s Sunshine places into your hands the the finest quality herbs and nutritional supplements.  NSP motto is Quality , Service and Integrity:  Pure, Potent and Proven

4.  Nature’s Sunshine has a long list of success stories to prove its efficacy. Many NSP Associates are professionals with published books to back their successes. One example is Lorene Benoit’s excellent book to understand causes, cure and prevention of cancer: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally”.

5.  Nature’s Sunshine has designed a holistic approach to wellness using the body system approach. It is a simple thing to do to go to www.naturessunshine.com  and complete the Health Analysis  on the home page to determine the supplements individualized for your body. Send your results to our office, at TakeTheNaturalPath@gmail.com for a free follow-up to this questionnaire.

6.  No other company offers such a vast variety of education as does Nature’s Sunshine and its dedicated distributors: webinars, teleconference calls. Resource Centre, Library of  Fact Sheets and product education. Courses are offered world-wide.

7.  Each day at the Nature’s Sunshine headquarters 5 million capsules and tablets are produced, for world-wide distribution. This gives you some idea as to how popular these products really are and the number of people that use them daily.

Cancer Screening and Prevention, Mammograms, PSA

Cancer, Healthy Solutions, Immune Tips, Super Foods, , , , , , , , , , ,
Cancer Screening at What Cost?

A recent article in the Globe and Mail regarding the risks and benefits of Cancer Screening. “ The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.” states Dr Brawley.

Mammograms

In Canada an expert panel said that women over 40 do not need routine mammography screening . The reason being that the value of mammography has been decisively unproven. Many experts say that it is of no value period. In one Danish study women between 55 and 74 who had regular mammograms had a 1% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. But women who were unscreened had a 2% annual decrease in breast cancer mortality. In other words you were less likely to die from breast cancer if you did not participate in the annual mammogram screening. Dr. Gotzche concluded if “screening were a drug it would have been withdrawn . You don’t market a drug that harms so many people for such uncertain benefits. “

Furthermore the article continues to state that the screening picks up harmless cancers that never would have been a problem . Instead of saving lives screening creates an avalanche of over diagnosing and needless treatments. For example out of 2100 women, 690 would have detected a false positive result , 75 would have to undergo unnecessary biopsies and needless surgeries.

PSA

Now let’s address prostate PSA tests. These same experts state that men should not have PSA tests at all. The test does not save lives and it does inflict devastating harm on men whose cancer would have otherwise been benign . Between 1986 and 2005 1 million men were treated for prostate cancer because of the PSA test. At least 5000 men died  due to the harm from the surgeries. 70. 000 men suffered needless serious complications and 300,000 suffered impotence and incontinence. The expert group states that the PSA test is harmful and expensive, with the annual cost in the USA being $3 billion. So why is the PSA test still administered?  The drug companies continue peddling the tests for financial gain. Richard Ablin the founder of PSA is devastated, “ I never dreamed that my discovery four years ago would lead to such as profit driven public health disaster. “

Biopsies, Cat Scans (CT’s)

Positive tests, whether accurate or not, usually lead to more injurious tests: biopsies, CT scans (radiation promotes cancer growth) and CT scans involve high doses,  equivalent to hundreds of Xrays. Add to this the negative emotional havoc  caused by fear and anticipation of these procedures. IF, on the other hand, one is very anxious about their health, the tests may help allay fears. Just be sure you want them, and are not just doing what  the doctor says. Take part in your decision making.

Because cancer always starts from an injury it makes no sense to inflict your breasts, prostate, or any other organs to an injurious type of test. It simply aggravates the problem. It makes no sense to submit to unproven prostate tests that serve no purpose except to expose you to surgical procedures that cause harm and inflict injury. In cancer there is cell replication and the law of nature states that cells do not randomly replicate. There must be a reason for cell replication to take place and that reason is that there is an injury. This is explained in more detail in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally”.

So here is the wisdom of this all. It is imperative that we should provide our cells on a daily basis with all the essential building blocks  so that any inconsequential injuries may be repaired well before they get to the mutated point. What do we do ? We feed our bodies not with daily junk food but with high dense nutritious super foods .  Herbs are nature’s answer to do this. One way to nourish our cells is to give them a Smoothie every day loaded with:

Mineral Chi Tonic for the minerals lacking in today’s foods

Ultimate GreenZone which is a concentrated source of alkalinizing vitamins and minerals which are easily assimilated as they are from food sources, including spirulina, amaranth, barley grass, bee pollen, chlorella, and 30 other herbs and super foods.

Collagen bioavailable collagen peptides & amino acids from 100% grass-fed, pasture raised cows. Helps maintain health, strength and youthfulness of all tissue structures, including skin and joints.

Flax Hull Lignans which bind the harmful xenoestrogens produced by Candida and which feed cancer.

Colostrum known to bind harmful lectins, which can plug up the blood stream . Lectins are found in all grains. Collagen promotes healthy growth of tissue, bone & catiledge.

Super Omegas from tested fish sources.

In Lorene’s book, The Paw Paw Program, there is an entire chapter about herbs and supplements that have been sued for millennium for abnormal cell growth and healing. Pau D’Arco/Taheebo Tea, Essiac (E-Tea), Ashwaganda, Astragalus, Periwinke, Yew, Mistletoe, the list is extensive, and the history shows evidence that these work – for different people, in different countries, for different cancers and other conditions.

Other herbs and supplement in capsule, liquid and powder form are available to meet specific needs, but the above can be helpful for everyone. For specific programs, contact our office and complete the LifeStyle Analysis as suggested above.

Silver Gel used for Dental Surgery

Dental health, Immune Tips, Silver, , , , , ,

I received a question about the study in which Silver Gel was used to prevent infection in dental implants and have found some sites that show this research, as well as patents pending.

I found reference to the study that we learned about at a Conference:  http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/benediting-410295-silver-sol-technology-fda-gel-fina-final-entertainment-ppt-powerpoint/

Cibron Dental Consultants Report: “It is our … Silver Sol gel has been shown to disinfect topically and keep hands completely sanitized …

It is an extensive 90 slide Power Point; the relevant slides are #9-11, so I have taken this information from there:

Two Dentists, Dr. Willoughby and Dr. Clease performed 300 dental surgeries using Silver Gel and there were ZERO infections.

This is unprecedented rate of non-infection in oral surgery. Other uses in dentistry in addition to preventing infection, are to lessen after-effects of dental procedures, such as inflammation, pain, and to speed healing. This is what many people have found effective.

Liquid Silver Guard – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) 2-3 times per day (we suggest holding in the mouth 6 minutes if possible, then swallowing so the benefits are both topical and internal)

Silver Gel – apply top9ically to affected area, or rub on gums 12-3 times per day.

http://www.silverforme.info/FDA%20Approves%20Dressing%20Gel.htm

We have also used Silver Gel as a tooth gel with excellent results in both improved gum health and reduced dental cavities. As Silver Gel is a strong natural anti-biotic, and as germs are the primary cause of decay and gum disease, this is no surprise. 

Please contact our office if you wish to order either of these.

Spiritual

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian technique for solving spiritual, emotional, mental or any type of problem. By addressing any negative situation with these 4 phrases, we can free our minds from past memories and restore the purity of our hearts and clean up repetitive issues that keep surfacing from our subconscious mind.

“If we can accept that we are the sum total of all past thoughts, emotions and words, deeds and actions and that our present lives and choices are colored or shaded by this memory bank of the past, then we begin to see how a process of correcting or setting aright can change our lives, our families and our society.” Mormah Nalamaku Simeona

The 4 phrases are: I am Sorry, Please Forgive Me, I Love You, Thank You.

Medical Scene

Runaway Use of Radiation Harming Patients

Dr. Eric Topol, author of The Creative Destruction of Medicine, has this to say about Americans being “overcooked” with damaging radiation.

  • one CT angiogram of the heart is 16 mSv, that is equivalent to 800 chest x-rays
  • A typical nuclear scan, at 41 mSv, and performed annually on many cardiology patients is equivalent to 2000 chest x-rays.

But patients aren’t told this, nor are any safety measures in place to record accumulated exposures. Safer diagnostics such as ultrasounds and MRIs are under-used. The following 3 minute video gives more information.

22 Reasons to Use Arginine for YOUR Health!

Allergies, Antioxidants, Heart Health, Hormones, Immune Tips, , , , , , , , ,

The nitric oxide derived from arginine is directly or indirectly implicated in practically every cellular response and health condition imaginable, from the cardiovascular system to the immune system, and hormone function to nerve function. Although an exhaustive list of possible applications for the amino acid is not included, the following are the primary scientifically-backed reasons that anyone – even healthy people – should consider adding arginine to their health and wellness regimen.

In 1998, a team of pharmacologists won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of how nitric oxide (NO) regulates blood flow in the body. One of the applications is that the release of NO causes dilation of the blood vessels. It was then discovered that an amino acid called L-arginine causes the human body to produce NO. As a result, L-arginine   (CA)  became a popular ingredient in dietary supplements for helping men achieve peak performance in the bedroom.

In addition to supporting male sexual function, L-arginine helps improve blood circulation for both sexes and helps support normal blood pressure levels. L-arginine is converted into NO that helps dilate your blood vessels. This, in turn, means your heart does not have to pump as hard, which promotes normal blood pressure and circulation.

The American Heart Journal presented 11 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials involving  L-arginine, all with positive results in lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Please contact our office to place direct discount orders & receive professional support for your optimum health.

Below are some of the documented benefits provided by L-arginine Plus, a formulation which also contains other cardiovascular support. To see the benefits of each ingredient in Arginine Plus and other synergistic formulations, refer to Arginine for Cardio and Heart Health .

1. Arginine Plus is one thousand times more powerful than any naturally occurring antioxidant in the body. Arginine`s antioxidant properties support various body systems and may protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes, as well as slowing premature aging. 1, 2

2. Arginine Plus offers wide-ranging cardiovascular support, including controlling blood pressure 3, 4 and plaque formation. Nitric oxide keeps arteries relaxed and pliable for normal blood pressure, preventing hypertension and angina. 5

3. Arginine Plus enhances memory,6 particularly long-term memory, and may help to reverse the effects of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.7

4. Arginine Plus boosts human growth hormone (HGH) production, which has anti-aging properties. 8

5. Arginine Plus enhances communication of messenger cells between nerves and the brain. 9

6. Arginine Plus may help improve immune function10 and fight bacterial infections. 11

CoQ10 – crystal free liposomal research

Cancer, Heart Health, Immune Tips, , , , , , , , , , , ,

After 40 Years of Research Dr Judy Reveals the  Benefits of Crystal Free CoQ10

for Heart, Parkinson’s,  Immunity, and Anti-Aging

 

Most people seek a supplement that will offer anti-aging and immune boosting. In the search for that one well researched vitamin,  we just learned about how the new CoQ10 may be one of your solutions.

CoQ10 is one product that benefits the entire body by increasing energy production. It specifically targets the  the heart,  nerves, lungs and muscles. Everyone has heard of the benefits of CoQ10 and you may already be taking it.  Dr. Judy is the world’s foremost authority and we were fortunate to hear his presentation at our 2012 Health Convention in Toronto.

He  documented scientific evidence shows that the new SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10, developed as a result of his 40 years of research, is at least 6 times more powerful and up to 800% more absorbable than crystal CoQ10 that is generally on the market.  67 generations of studies were required to develop this product and Nature’s Sunshine is the only easily accessible company in the world that carries this new highly absorptive CoQ10 product.

CoQ10 is a vitamin like substance found in all living organisms in nature. It was discovered by Fredrick Crane at the Enzyme Research Center at the U of Wisconsin. It was isolated from beef heart mitochondria which are the energy producing organelle of each body cell. In 1958 the chemical structure of CoQ10 was defined by Dr Karl Folkers. A Nobel Prize was awarded to Sir Peter Mitchell in 1978 for his work on how the cell makes energy and the essential role of CoQ10 in this process.

There are three functions and three forms of CoQ10 in nature: Ubiquinone,  Semi-ubiquinone and Ubiquinol.

This new SIBR Reserach CoQ10 is highly absorbable due to its tri-lipid crystal free formulation, which is made from all natural products.Because the body cannot absorb a crystal, this accounts for the higher absorption levels, again up to 800% better.

CoQ10 is not absorbed in the blood stream as it is too large and lipophilic (dissolved in fats). It is absorbed in the small intestine and diffuses into the lymph vessels and is then transported to the blood stream via the subclavian vein.

Concerning CoQ10 levels in humans, there are 3 distinct groups of people:

1) Groups having normal CoQ10 levels = 75% of the population. At age 65, as CoQ10 declines naturally,  this group begins to have low energy and increasing illness.

2) Groups with low levels of CoQ10 = 15%  of the population. This group always appears to be frail and are known to harbour early onset of diseases.

3) Groups with high levels of CoQ10 = 10% of the population. This group age slowly, have late onset of diseases and experience  infrequent age related degenerative conditions. Therefore CoQ10 is an excellent anti-aging product.

Dr. Judy found that CoQ10 deficiencies are proportional  to the severity of  disease. With supplementation of SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10, these diseases will reduce and can in many cases reverse the normal course of the disease. Clinical effectiveness of CoQ10 has been proven in:

  • Low energy – 6 fold increase in energy using Crystal Free CoQ10 at  lower dosages than the common crystal CoQ10.
  • Congestive heart failures (CHF) – in Japan CoQ10 was listed as a drug and 12 million people were using it.  After it was declared a natural product, 34 million people were using it. It was clinically shown to reduce the severity of CHF from Class 4 to Class 1 within a year with a dose of 150 mg a day.
  • Hypertension – SIBR Research Crystal Free Co Q10 is the vitamin that provides energy to the smooth muscles in the vascular system. As little as 100mg/day resulted in significant reductions of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, without the addition of hypertensive drugs.  This is great news as blood pressure medications , along with their long list of side effects, were reduced significantly and even discontinued in clinical studies.
  • Parkinson’s studies were done in 2006 in early onset Parkinson. With as little as 250 mg a day “we have been able to stop the progression of Parkinson and almost completely arrest the development of the disease through six years. In older, more severe patients, we have been able to stop the progression, increase the physical ability and improve the mental capacity in many of these elderly patients. ….These responses do not come overnight but  take several months to be fully manifested.” In summary,  a study from 1968-2009 stated: ” In well established Parkinson’s disease patients, the effectiveness of using the old CoQ10 dry powder products was no better than that of a placebo. In studies using the new High Absorption CoQ10, the effectiveness of the CoQ10 is much improved due to the better absorption and higher blood levels of CoQ10. “
  • Muscle ataxia is a disease of the muscles having their origins in the central nervous system. “When these patients are supplemented with SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 they regain the tone and strength in their legs. They again have the strength to stand and to walk. Again this response is not fast, but takes several months to be manifested. This appears to be related to the times it takes to build up the peripheral and brain CoQ10 levels in order to build up the skeletal muscle mitochondria and to recondition the skeletal muscles.”
  • Immunity Studies done in the 70’s and 80’s found that people with low immunity also had a low count of CoQ10. Energy is essential for the body cells to make immune system elements. SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 stimulates the synthesis of T cells cytotoxins that the body injects into cancer cells and prevents them from developing.
  • Cancers have become the major cause of death in the Canadian population. The estimated number of deaths due to cancer this year is estimated to be 75, 700 .In the 1980’s studies indicated that SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 would stop the growth of  leukemia, virus, tumours. A specific cancer research study discovered that there was a specific protein called g-protein that is essential for the synthesis of CoQ10. In the stem cell line of animals the g protein was able to stop the growth of cancers cells.” Some companies tried to make the g- proteins synthetically to be used as a chemotherapy to control cancer growths. They have failed and made nothing but a good rat poison. This g-protein is the “grandfather” of CoQ10. Thus when a cancer patient takes SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 it is broken down to the g-protein in the liver and then circulated through the body thus stopping the growth of cancer cells. 87% of cancer patients have low plasma CoQ10. Cancers are infrequent in populations with high CoQ10. CoQ10 has been shown to stop the growth of cancer cells in animals and man. CoQ10 is broken down in the liver to a G-protein which stops and prevents the growth of cancer cells. CoQ10 is used in Europe and other parts of the world as a means of preventing adverse side effects of chemo and radiation therapy for the treatment of cancers. Many of the patients using CoQ10 do not have nausea, arrhythmia, fatigue, weight loss or hair loss associated with chemo or radiation therapy.                                                                                                                                                                                **Note in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally, CoQ10 is not indicated for cancer programs at the same time as taking Paw Paw, due to their opposing actions on the ATP cycle. One can alternate a program of Paw Paw and CoQ10; ask your natural health practitioner about this option.
  • Statin drugs – cholesterol lowering Statin drugs are supposed to carry a warning that if they have low energy, fatigue, muscle cramps or heart failure, one should take CoQ10 and see your physician. Adverse affects of statin drugs  limit quality of life and survival as they deplete CoQ10.
  • Cardiac arrhythmia – poorly absorbed CoQ10 reduced arrhythmia by about 1/3. A study done in 2010 showed that the new crystal free CoQ10 can reduced the arrhythmia almost completely.
  • Surgical recoveries – hospital stays were shortened by as much as 1/2 and recovery time lessened after heart bypass surgeries with the addition of the crystal free tri-liposomal C0Q10

Dr. William Judy says that for any system on the body to function properly energy is required. This includes heart, lung, kidney, liver, brain, sensory, gastrointestinal, reproductive, endocrine, immune,  lymphatic and blood production  functions. Without energy they will break down with resulting illness and death. “SIBR Research Crystal Free CoQ10 is required to synthesize energy and help the patient return to health.”

He further states, “Our bodies are bombarded daily with environmental pollutants, superoxides and free radicals that stress our body and cause inflammatory processes to occur.”  Inflammation and how this relates to ALL diseases, including diabetes, alzheimer’s, arthritis, and most chronic degenerative conditions as explained in The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally,

“By its role as a potent antioxidant crystal free tri-liposomal C0Q10 can protect the body from these stressors.  Supplementing with SIBR Research new CoQ10 will protect patients from any illnesses caused by pollutants including bacteria, and viruses, superoxides  and free radicals.”

Q & A: Aids to getting pregnant

Pregnancy, Questions and Answers, , , , ,
QUESTION:
A co-worker was asking if there is a good supplement to take if trying to get pregnant…can you suggest anything that may help her chances?
 Thanks, C.W. . , B.C.
ANSWER:
In the pre-pregnancy section of my Making Healthy Babies blog,  we mention  Women’s Formula. I have had success with this, as it helps to balance hormones.
If there is a challenge getting pregnant, it is helpful to know what underlying health conditions are that may prevent conception or prevent a healthy term baby. The body is usually pretty wise and wants a mother to be in good health for making a healthy baby. We suggest she follow all the general health suggestions and recommendation for diet, pH, exercise, etc. as in Lorene Benoit’s book, The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.
In stubborn cases have both the woman and man can take X-A , which is a formula that has helped many couples. This formula is available is US only, special order for Canadians, contact us.
P.S. By clicking on any of the herbal formulas above, you should get a full Fact sheet telling you some of the historical traditions of the herbs, a list of all ingredients and suggested dosages. If you need any assistance, please contact. Benoit & Associates Health Education.
