How one amazing well balanced product can do so much. Amazing stress modulator, with the capacity to increase mental function, cognition, enhance memory and all this at the same time of decreasing anxiety,depression and above all reducing oxidation. Oxidation in the body means destruction. It's like leaving a half cut avocado or apple all night. The browning effect is called oxidation. Sugar in the blood stream has that effect too. When our body cannot regulate sugar which it uses from foods we eat has an impact on the adrenals, pancreas, liver, gallblader…all and every tissue and organ in the body including your brain function. The delicate balance of glucose use is not about what we just know as sugar, it is an intricate complex handshaking in the tissues and cells that signal thousands of messages to keep you body working at its best. Very unique and specific foods to your blood type will improve this.

The main ingredient is phosphatidylserine (PS). Because the arduous chemical synthesis that depends upon commonly deficient nutrients may explain why the exogenous (outside use) of PS intake has shown such great promise. The use of PS shows great promise in the management of disorders induced by the elevations of cortisol. from chronic stress syndromes. It has been shown that elevated cortisol will induce insulin in-sensitivity, decrease TSH, and T3 production, increase inactive reverse T3, decrease phase 2 glucoronidation and sulfation, supress pituitary functio, increase the potential for gastric and duodenal ulcers, lower intestinal secretory IgA, dealy intestinal muchosal cell generation suppress immunity, decrease bone density, induce depression, encourage obesity, and increase the risk for cardiovasculasr and neurodegenerative disorders.

Yes, I take PS, and so does my family. Dosing is important, but very effective. Noticing effects instantly in state of mind. Long lasting effects and NO side effects. Remember even all naturals, should be referred by a trained holistic practitioner. Quality and dosage are important.

Auto-immune thyroid panels to be seeked by patients from their doctors.

Prevent kidney dysfunctions before it's too late. Are you on high blood pressure med's?

Vigilance, and the regular testing of kidney function is critical for longevity. The kidney unlike other organs like the liver which can be restored to health, will not. Aside from all other tests the cystatin-C is a far more precise measure of renal function.

High blood pressure, elevated sugar,NSAID's, certain medications and high protein diets are the most common threats to kidney disease.

Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P) fights :

AGE (advanced glycation end-products and

ALE (advanced lipoprotein lipoxidation.

CoQ10, silymarin, resveratrol and lipoic acid are clinically supported, potent interventions.

In 2004 a team of biochemists at the University of South Carolina were able to show that pyridoxamine traps the reactive molecules formed during lipid peroxidation and helps to chaperone them harmlessly into the urine.

The landmark discovery: while studying the relative effects of pyridoxamine along with a variety of additional natural oxidants on the progression of kidney disease in diabetic rats, it was found theat pyridoxamine therapy was the most effective at preventing progerssion of kidney disease, foloowed by Vitamin E and lipoic acid. Enalapril, the prescription drug proved the least effective intervention.

Acupuncture delay's progression of dementia and other brain depletions.

Acupuncture and the Chinese Medicine model have long been studied for its effects on brain function, memory and cognition. With the use of MRI's it is possible to see how the brain lights up high learning centers with specific acupuncture points. Acuheart uses the brain mapping system to start with, so it's all about sending blood and images to the brain so the system will make the changes to improve bodily functions.

The integrative functional model used by Acuheart is sincerely cutting edge information in regards to brain function. It is imperative to allow the body to heal any inflammation, be it from pain of degeneration which may be silent so that the brain too will heal. There are several studies for nutritional protocols that should be followed up according to tests. Among the most standard is the use of phosphatidylserine, a phopholipid found in the membranes of the cells, including neuronal cells. It improves memory, learning, concentration and word recall and mood in middle aged and elderly subjects with dementia or age related cognitive decline.

I've always held the thought that I would love a long life, as long as I remember what I did yesterday and I can plan for tomorrow!

I love what I do, and I want to share it.

Choosing alternative options to pain would reduce the cost of your own health care and keep you pain free.

For some reason doctors and patients seem to think that pain medications treat pain and inflammation. The fact is that they relieve pain. This seems like a subtle difference, but by a slight shift in attitude we can cut our health costs. An advertisement for a popular pain medication touts that taking it before intense physical activity will reduce the amount of pain caused by the activity. There are some problems with this thinking. Pain medications actually increase oxidative stress, so while they offer temporary relief, they actually promote an environment that favors pain and inflammation. NSAID'S CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE CARTILAGE TO BREAK DOWN, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY! Many people take medication for arthritis pain, but they are trading short-term relief for long-term degeneration. One fo the popular pain medications (classified as a Cox-2 inhibitor) actually doubles the chance of getting a heart attack. Also, pain medications can lead to a host of other health problems. According to the July 27, 1988 issue of the American Journal of Medicine:"Conservative calculations estimate that approximately 107,000 patients are hopitalized annualy for nosteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) related gastrointestinal (GI) complications and at lease 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur each year among arthritis patients alone. The figures for all NSAID users would be overwhelming, yet the scope of this problem is generally under appreciated"

The New England Journal of Medicine (December 20, 2001;345;1801-1808) published research that linked pain medication to kidney failure (in patients with existing kidney disease). An article published in the New York Times (January 29 2002) states concern of NBA players over the regular use of these medications. This is in the wake of Alanzo Mourning of the Miami Heat developing a kidney desorder and Sean Elliot needing a kidney transplant. Basketball players commonly take large amounts of NSAIDs before a game 9the same behavior that is touted in television ads).

Taking pain medication can have an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system. According to the Archives of Internal Medicine (February 11, 2002;162:265-270), patients who had filled at least one NSAID prescription were nearly 10 times more likely than those who didn't use the drugs to have a relapse of congestive heart failure. According to research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine (October 28, 2002;162:2204-2208), frequent use of pain relief medications may result in an increased risk of high blood pressure in women.

The cavalier attitude our medical system has in treating one of the most common conditions, pain, can lead to further health complications and cost. How much more are we spending o health care because we don't choose natural methods for pain control first? Go to www.wholehealthweb.com and download the free recording.

Health care for profit and is neither healthy nor provides care.

The cost of health care is on everyone's mind. The debate has proceeded around how we can get people covered and not about why the costs are so high. I recently came across and interesting piece of research that may illustrate why we spend so much for health care. The pain medication Vioxx was taken off the market because it increased the likelihood of heart attacks. Vioxx was an anti-inflammatory drug known as cox-2 inhibitor. It is named for the enzyme it suppresses. The cox-2 inhibitors are popular because they offer effective paiin relief without creating problems with GI irritation cased by other types of pain relievers. Celecoxib (sold under the brand name Celebrex), which is also a cox-2 inhibitor, also increases the risk for a heart attack. Research appearing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine(March 3, 2006) showed that Celecoxib can increase the risk of a heart attack by two fold. Celebrex is commonly prescribed to seniors with arthritis. It makes you wonder how many trips to the emergency room and how much time in CCU may be due to the fact that this drug is still being prescribed. How much do you suppose the use of of drugs add to our health care costs? Our health care costs are high for many reasons. The system exists to provide a profitable business for drug companies. Care is secondary to these companies making money. Drug companies control a lot of the information received by doctors. Face it, al of the medical journals sell ads to drug companies. One sure way to corrupt scientific findings is to get money involved. This may be the reason a lot of effective inexpensive natural therapies are ingnored. A lot of the activity that passes for health care is for profit and is neither healthy nor provides care. As long as we continue along this path, it will not matter whether the government pays the bill or we pay it out of pocke-it will still continue to cripple our economy.

Adaptogenics are better for anxiety and so much more.

Just because you are on anti-anxiety medications does not mean that you are free of stress. You must learn how to inhibit the transmission that your brain perceives as stress. Thousands of research papers attribute the well tested excersices of meditation. But not everyone is knit to sit still. Here's your answer: Adaptogenics! Termed by a Russian scientist, adaptogenics are natural sources of bio-identical neurotransmitters that help our brain and body function under less fright flight conditions of adrenaline rushes. They dont burn your adrenals or use up the cortisol your body naturally uses to inhibit pain, and, they actually are proven to increase life span. Why? Well, when we live less stressed out lives and we can inhibit the chemical cascade our body releases under stress, then we add years to our body function. What is even more fun is to know that Ginseng is the number 1 in the potion of life. No wonder acupuncturists like myself act never let a day go by without the fountain of youth. In China Ginseng is already considered their most favorite plant. You thought if was just for a sexy life! I remember my master teacher in Shanghai told me there were 2 things the Chinese were interested in. The ancient emperors wanted to have the longest life to have the most sex. Compared to our American motto which says that he who dies with the most toys wins! I would like you to think about that.

Gut flora produces substances that are implicated in the arthritis associated with inflammatory disease.

You eat and get gas, you miss a bowel movement. You eat foods that you know cause your nose to run. You might even get the joint pain right away! Your food is making you sick. Just like when you get a cold. There's a bug and it's killing the friendly bacteria in your gut. The T cell develop recognition and eventually become involved with joint inflammation. Researches have found a high percentage of rheumatoid patients had small intestine bacterial overgrowth. The rh factor was higher is all patients with poor digestive enzymes.

If you are suffering from joint pain, to have to increase the friendly bacteria and the normal acid secretion. Do not use Tums! This product will kill your natural stomach acid. It's just a band-aid. You must get away from processed foods and get into more raw food, enzymes, and eat right for your blood type. Joint pain will cause tissue deterioration and lack of mobilization in the long run. It all starts with what you eat.

Chinese Medicine had starts 2thousand years before Christ, and has

Chinese Medicine maintains that preserving the strength of the body as a whole is the most important attribute against the development of disease. This means that, while efforts are made therapeutically to relieve symptoms and counter pathogenic processes, and equal or greater emphasis placed upon replenishing the body's natural substances (Qi, Moisture, and Blood) and restoring the coordinated activity of the body's primary organ systems (known as the Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney Networks). It is the ability of the organism to sustain its own defensive capability, regenerative potential, and regulatory mechanisms that enables it to remain adaptable and well.
Early in the history of Chinese medicine, around the 2nd and 1st millenia before Christ, the primary causes of illness were thought to be the negative, external influences such as ancestral spirits and powerful deities that indifferently ruled the weather, seasonal change, the abundance of crops ant the lives of ordinary people. The dominant mode of healing during these ancient times was shamanic intervention by sorceres. Centuries later, during the Han dynasty (200 B.C.-100 A.C.), the notion of supernatural forces as agents of disease was replaced by a more sophisticated, rational and empirical paradigm in which human life and the world at large were understood to be governed by natural, impersonal forces-what we would now consider to be the natural laws of physics and biology.
It was during this 400 year period of fervent intellectual growth that the cosmological and philosophical theories of the Yin and Yang and Five Phase Theory were logically organized and systematically applied to the art and science of medicine in a medical document: The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. The anonymous autors of this treatise emphasized three causative conditions for the genesis of disease: harsh environmental forces such as changes in climate or weather (external causes);and personal behaviors such as overeating, undereating, consuming spoiled or poisoned food, overwork, sexual overindulgence, lack of appropriate physical activity and unethical conduct. A predominance of persistence of any of these factors could upset the harmonious relationship between a person and his or her physical or social environment, as well as disrupting the
