  The AWFUL truth about COQ10!

 

The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 - increased energy, improved metabolism, weight loss, cell protection, and better cardiovascular health - are already well established.1

In fact, research shows CoQ10 may promote neurological health as well.1

Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don't feel any different after they start taking CoQ10.

When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why.

As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good.

In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion's share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears - making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.

Fortunately,the products we sell are bioavailable!  meaning: it actually gets absorbed into your bloodstream and delivered to your cells!*

Which of these CoQ10 supplements is in your medicine chest?

The trouble with most brands of commercially available CoQ10 supplements is that they use a cheaper form of the enzyme - that is extremely difficult for your body to absorb.

So the label says the pill contains X amount of CoQ10. And it probably does. But only a tiny fraction of that is actually absorbed by your body. The rest is passed as waste, and is in fact wasted - never reaching the cell membranes and walls where it is needed most.

, cell protection, better cardiovascular health and weight loss are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the health benefits my patients and I receive by taking our CoQ10 daily

Here are just some of the other ways  you can live longer and feel better:

  • Heart health... according to the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, a number of clinical studies have found CoQ10 promotes cardiovascular health.5

  • Blood sugar... an Australian study showed that patients who took CoQ10 were able to maintain blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.6

  • Vision... in a recent clinical trial, taking CoQ10 for a year helped them see more clearly.7

  • Cognition... an animal study performed at Johns Hopkins University found that CoQ10 supplementation improves learning and memory.7

  • Bronchial Health... researchers in Texas found CoQ10 promotes bronchial health.7

  • Gum health... CoQ10 can improve gum and oral health.7

  • Clear-headed comfort... in one study, more than 6 out of 10 patients treated with CoQ10 daily reported feeling more clear-headed comfort.7

  • Oxidative stress... CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant, eliminating the free radicals that can cause damage to cell membranes and mitochondria.3

  • Skin care... a German study shows that CoQ10 can help reduce wrinkles and protect skin from the damaging effects of too much exposure to sunlight.8

We know from years of research that CoQ10 has a direct effect on human metabolism and physiology. I've seen the evidence of clinical tests first-hand. And I've seen the effects in my patients.

May I share a secret with you?  Most of the products you are buying at retailers have no bioavailability whatsoever and you are in fact wasting your money!!!!  This is in fact the truth regarding most products and the quality differential is even more startling with herbal products!  The old adage, "you get what you pay" for certainly applies here....

B Vitamins Can Reduce Brain Shrinkage and , (MCI)-mild cognitive impairment!

 

High daily doses of B-6, B-12 and foliSlow Dementia in Cases of Mild Cognitive Impairmentc acid can cut the rate of brain shrinkage in half in older people with cognitive decline, according to a newly released two-year clinical trial done by scientists at Oxford University. Vitamin B supplementation could also slow down the progression toward dementia in folks with mild cognitive impairment, (MCI) the researchers found.1

This makes perfect sense because these B vitamins are co-factors for the enzymes involved in the metabolism of homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood, and is a major risk factor for brain atrophy, cognitive impairment, dementia and coronary artery disease. Ultimately plasma concentrations of homocysteine are determined by your vitamin B status.2

An earlier report from scientists at Boston University showed that people with elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood (levels above 14 micromoles per liter of serum) had nearly double the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). That study of a group of people participating in the long-running Framingham Study appeared in the February 14, 2002, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, and was the first to tie homocysteine levels measured several years before with later diagnosis of AD and other dementias.3

In an interview with Reuters News, the scientists from Oxford University said their recent two-year clinical trial was the largest to date into the effect of B vitamins on MCI.4

What is Mild Cognitive Impairment?

Mild cognitive impairment is defined as cognitive decline greater than expected for an individual's age and education level. MCI affects between 3% to 19% adults older than 65 years, and manifests as slight problems with memory loss, language, arithmetic, and other mental functions. MCI is defined as not interfering with normal daily life, but if you can't remember where you parked your car, or how to figure out a tip on a restaurant bill, then it definitely is going to impact your life somewhat.

Some people with mild cognitive impairment seem to remain stable or return to normal over time, but more than half develop dementia—usually of the Alzheimer's type—within 5 years.5  And contrary to the misconception that Alzheimer's is just severe memory loss, it is in fact a terminal disease.

The Oxford Study

This two-year study included 168 volunteers with MCI who were given either a placebo or a daily nutritional supplement containing very high doses of folic acid (0.8mg), vitamin B6 (20mg) and vitamin B12 (0.5mg), or a placebo.1

Brain scans with an MRI were taken at the beginning and end of the trial to measure the rate of brain atrophy. The results, published in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) One journal, showed that on average the brains of those taking the vitamin treatment shrank at a rate of 0.76 percent a year, while those taking the placebo had average brain shrinkage of 1.08 percent.1

People who had the highest levels of homocysteine at the start of the trial benefited the most from OUR OWN TRIB100 is the perfect proprietary supplement for the abovethe treatment, with their brains shrinking at half the rate of those on the placebo.4

It's important to note that the vitamins given during the trial were given in extremely high doses. The pills contained approximately 300 times the recommended daily intake of B12, four times daily advised folate levels and 15 times the recommended amount of B6.

Although the trial was not designed to measure cognitive ability, the researchers found those people who had lowest rates of shrinkage had the highest scores in mental tests.4

This study is significant and lends hope for the millions of people around the world who are at risk for developing mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.   I recommend our own TriB100 right here! FREE Shipping!

D iabetes is the number-one lifestyle disease of modern times, and tens of millions of Americans are being handed prescriptions for anti-diabetic drugs that don't work. A large-scale study at Duke University School of Medicine and published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that despite serious risks and dangerous side effects, diabetes drugs offer few benefits and simply don't live up to their claims

   Duke researchers found that the combination of the blood-pressure drug Diovan (valsartan) and the anti-diabetes drug Starlix (nateglinide) failed to reduce risk of heart attack at all and that Diovan was only slightly successful in slowing -- but not necessarily preventing -- development of type 2 diabetes.

   Furthermore, practically all anti-diabetic drugs result in weight gain and eventual total dependency upon insulin injections, according to researchers Krentz, Nichols, and Gomez-Caminero in 2 recent articles published in Current Medical Research Opinion and Diabetes Obesity Metabolism.

   Lead researcher Robert Califf of the Duke study said, "This is a sobering confirmation of the need to continue to focus on lifestyle improvements."

   Unfortunately, the medical mainstream has failed miserably to help diabetic patients reverse their diabetes naturally. This failure is inexcusable considering that anyone can reverse type 2 diabetes and stop type 1 diabetes in its tracks in less than 4 weeks with the right plan -- a plan that....

  • Gets your blood sugar under control in 4 weeks
  • Eliminates dependence on diabetes drugs
  • Is so inexpensive that it's almost free
  • Is simple and easy to use
  • Has already helped patients and former diabetics all over the world
  • Can reverse your diabetes, pre-diabetes, syndrome X, and blood sugar woes

   Unfortunately, very few diabetics know what actually does work. And that's because most doctors simply lack the necessary training and knowledge to steer their patients in the right direction.

  

  • Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, nontraumatic lower-limb amputations, and new cases of blindness among adults in the United States.
  • Diabetes is a major cause of heart disease and stroke.
  • Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States.
  • A new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that at the rate things are going, as many as 1 in 3 U.S. adults will have diabetes by 2050.

   "These are alarming numbers that show how critical it is to change the course of type 2 diabetes," said Ann Albright, Ph.D., director of the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation. "Successful programs to improve lifestyle choices on healthy eating and physical activity must be made more widely Natural Solutions to Diabetesavailable, because the stakes are too high and the personal toll too devastating to fail."

   

NATURAL SOLUTIONS:

   Obviously, herbs and a mineral alone aren't going to single-handedly reverse your diabetes permanently, but such powerful supplements combined with the right effective, easy, and inexpensive natural methods can put you on your way to ending diabetes. No drug in the world can do that, no matter what..    Consider the drug Avandia, once the most popular diabetes drug in the world, which was found in 2008 to dramatically increase risk of heart attacks and death. It took the FDA until last month to finally pull Avandia from the U.S. market.

   Another popular diabetes drug, Actos, has its own array of ugly side effects, including average weight gain of nearly 9 pounds and a higher risk of dangerous and possibly deadly fluid buildups. Furthermore, Actos's heart risks may be almost as bad as Avandia's, and some researchers have linked this drug to bladder cancer.

   A handful of doctors are getting behind the push to educate patients about what really works to cure diabetes. Dr. Scott Saunders. M.D., says natural approaches are the key. "Studying natural medicine is power," he says, explaining that you can absolutely reverse your diabetes yourself with simple steps that ...

==> Are fast, painless, safe, and natural
==> Based on proven home remedies
==> Have zero negative side effects
==> Will help you save thousands of dollars in medical bills, drugs, and hospital stays
==> Will free you from stress and fear of diabetic symptoms
==> Can halt the degenerative side effects of diabetes
==> Are safe for type 1 & type 2 diabetes
==> Will improve your overall health and immune system

   If you suffer from diabetes or pre-diabetes, you cannot afford to ignore the truth about how to stop this dangerous degenerative disease. Diabetes can kill you ... unless you take action!   But the good news is you don't have to let that happen. And you don't have to fear blindness, heart disease, chronic wounds that won't heal, or even amputation. And you definitely don't have to rely on expensive, dangerous drugs that don't work and have terrible health ramifications!   Schedule an appointment for yourself or family member to learn about diet, exercise and supplements designed to reverse the PROCESS that caused diabetes in the first place.

Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that grape seed polyphenols—a natural antioxidant—may help prevent the development or delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The research, led by Giulio Maria Pasinetti, MD, PhD, The Saunder Family Professor in Neurology, and Professor of Psychiatry and Geriatrics and Adult Development at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, was published online in the current issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

This is the first study to evaluate the ability of grape-derived polyphenols to prevent the generation of a specific form of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, a substance in the brain long known to cause the neurotoxicity associated with Alzheimer disease. In partnership with a team at the University of Minnesota led by Karen Hsiao Ashe, MD, PhD, Dr. Pasinetti and his collaborators administered grape seed polyphenolic extracts to mice genetically determined to develop memory deficits and Aβ neurotoxins similar to those found in Alzheimer's disease. They found that the brain content of the Aβ*56, a specific form of Aβ previously implicated in the promotion of Alzheimer's disease memory loss, was substantially reduced after treatment.

 

Previous studies suggest that increased consumption of grape-derived polyphenols, whose content, for example, is very high in red wine, may protect against cognitive decline in Alzheimer's. This new finding, showing a selective decrease in the neurotoxin Aβ*56 following grape-derived polyphenols treatment, corroborates those theories.

"Since naturally occurring polyphenols are also generally commercially available as nutritional supplements and have negligible adverse events even after prolonged periods of treatment, this new finding holds significant promise as a preventive method or treatment, and is being tested in translational studies in Alzheimer's disease patients," said Dr. Pasinetti.

The study authors emphasize that in order for grape-derived polyphenols to be effective, scientists need to identify a biomarker of disease that would pinpoint who is at high risk to develop Alzheimer's disease.

"It will be critical to identify subjects who are at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, so that we can initiate treatments very early and possibly even in asymptomatic patients," said Dr. Pasinetti. "However, for Alzheimer's disease patients who have already progressed into the initial stages of the disease, early intervention with this treatment might be beneficial as well. Our study implicating that these neurotoxins such as Aβ*56 in the brain are targeted by grape-derived polyphenols holds significant promise."

I have decided to add a bit of humor to each week's topic by adding a health cartoon to try to lighten things up everywhere...I hope it makes you smile!!! :)

 

A couple quick things before I get to this week's topic...I will be closed on 6/22 this Tuesday taking a vacation day before my show at the Cubby Bear...I can do that right????  If you need to pick something up NO Problem that can be arranged...so just contact me, Thanks.

 

I have some free gifts with supplement purchase this month so remind me, we have a new product catalogue in progress and an Anatomy of Nutrition seminar coming.....early July.

 

This week's topic is about natural help for skin disorders.  The skin is the body's largest organ and provides some important roles in immunity and detoxification!  Many of you will recall a few years ago my terrible debacle with a sunscreen product which led to my battle with seborrheic dermatitis...it has just sucked, and long before that happened to me I will tell you that both in my naturopathic training as well as acupuncture chinese medicine training sages in both fields would really shrug when people appeared with chronic skin problems because they were so difficult to get rid of...

 

I have found that to be so myself, clinically and personally....I finally think I have figured out why and I believe it's that the human body is so intelligent it tries to keep pathogens and toxins at the skin level away from more visceral organs but this makes it hard to resolve.

 

In a health process view, I have found  skin problems to fall into categories of: bacteriology or toxicity...IE acne,  Digestion: IE Rosacea, eczema, Psoriasis...can all result from bacterial imbalances in the body which affect immunity and create skin inflammation, Immunity: Eczema, Psoriasis, Sebborrhea....due to low immunity, chronic allergies or toxic triggers from the environment...Emotional Disorders: Hives, rashes dermatitis, eczema.

 

Oftentimes, to make things even more difficult several issues occur simultaneously...

 

In my case....a known toxin triggered an amazingly strong inflammatory response in my body....my body's immune system became overactive initially creating tons of inflammation and then hypoactive leading to eczema and finally psoriasis, as things worsened.  Finally, again in my case, as I rebuilt my immune system, I had to finally address the chronic anxiety I experienced from not knowing how I would feel from minute to minute which then created a viscious cycle of itching and anxiety...addressing all these pieces has allowed me to recover to a great extent, and I continue to improve daily.

 

I have seen many people recover the health of their skin and their overall health has benefited significantly as well....there is no need to suffer.

 

 

Sincerely,

Well,  Hellloooo!!! I am busy in the studio recording my first alternative rock record, rehearsing for my show at the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville on Tuesday 6/22 at 9:15 PM and taking care of my patients and my Shiba Inu, Tre, and my rosebushes for that matter....How's your week going???  This weeks forum is about damgerous food additives, but before that I have a couple of items for you!

 

One: I should have a new natural products catalogue available by next week..and it's worth waiting for believe me....second...I have great personal products gifts for inhouse purchases this month, and lastly, I have finally tested and endorse a wonderful probiotic that does not require refrigeration for those of you wanting a product to take on vacation..it is relatively heat stable and available by special order..please allow 5 days.

 

I have replaced some old lines & products with better and more available products and sometimes less expensive ones as well so check me out!!!  I am always available to you for product advice.

 

This week's topic is how to avoid the most dangerous food additives...I encourage all of you to eat minimally processed foods and go organic as much as you can...better for us...and the planet but I do recognize it is a commitment...

 

In reviewing this information I realized, (AGAIN) how dangerous these ingredients are...and while you may never experience health problems as a direct result..who really knows??  So here's my list of the most important additives to avoid in table form...please forward on to your friends and family!!!

 

Ingredient Purpose Hazard
Artificial Colors To enhance foods appearance Linked to allergy, asthma,,  fatigue, rashes, ADD, ADHD, headaches
Artificial Flavors $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Linked to: allergies, dermatitis, eczema, hyperactivity, asthma, affects enzymes, RNA, and thyroid
Artificial Sweeteners Splenda, sorbitol, sunnette, Equal, Nutrasweet, Saccharin, ETC purpose to subtract calories negatively affect metabolism, cause food cravings, some have been linked to cancer, dizziness, hallucination and headache
Benzoate preservatives BHT, BHA< TBHQ Prevent fats from rancidity Linked to hives, angioedema, ADD, asthma, rhinitis, dermatitis, tumors, and may affect estrogen levels and balance
Brominated Vegetable Oil BVA Chemical that boosts flavor in citrus flavored products and soft drinks Increases cholesterol and triglycerides, may damage the testicles, kidneys, thyroid and heart
High Fructose Corn Syrup Cheaper alternative to sugars Obesity, Diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer. HFCS is not easily metabolized by the liver
MSG Flavor enhancer in many foods, salad dressings and snacks Overstimulates appetite, may cause headache, heart arrythmias, edema, wheezing, high blood pressure
Transfat-partially hyrogenated oils lower cost chemical subsitute for butter or lard in baked goods or snack foods heart disease and cancer
     
     

 

There are many others but these are a good list to avoid particularly if you have allergies or skin problems...more about that next week.

 

Your visits, referrals, and product purchases are warmly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Have an excellent week!

Hello!!! My apologies for the delay in getting this to you....I have been absolutely swamped helping patients this week.  This week's Forum topic is the four pillars of digestive health.

 

Naturopathic education beats one concept into practioners heads during the training process and that is...if something is wrong with digestion, fix that first because everything will improve.  As a clinician, I have learned the veracity of that concept.  Many, many health problems emminate from faulty digestion.

 

Step#1

Investigation: This is a very tough one for most clients!

 

People simply do not understand the complex array of bacterial, ecological, and toxilogical events in the gut.  Many current treatments only address symptoms and are not effective at changing the GI environment.  I have learned that health interventions are only effective when they focus on the root cause of problems and contain protocols developed to meet individual patient needs.

 

Digestive complaints most often result from poor lifestyle choices, inflammation, bacterial imbalances, and toxin exposure.

 

A bacterial stool culture will reveal information about the GI environment specfic to that person.

 

Step#2

Develop an individual plan for diet and supplementation based upon, visit,

symptoms and testing results.

 

Step#3

Maintain the healthy environment.

 

 

The four pillars of digestive health are:

 

1. Digestion if operating properly breaks complex food sources into both micro

and macronutrients that are transported throughout the body.

 

2. Elimination

Proper elimination of toxic substances, unusable food portions and the toxic metabolites produced by our own bodies is critical to our health.

 

3. Flora Balances

Our gut hosts upwards of 100 trillion bacteria, yeast and other microbes. Balance of micrfolora is essential to our health.

 

4. Integrity

Over 70% of immune system function takes place in one's GI tract.  Maintaining proper tissue health is essential for preventing leakage of food particles, microorganisms and toxins into the systemic circulation.

 

The goals of restoring GI health and balance are to: remove allergens and toxins, remove harmful organisms, replace important enzymes, and pH, reinoculate with proper bacteria, and repair damage that has occurred due to inflammation.

 

I have seen hundreds of times the incredible difference gut integrity makes in overall health. Visit the digestive aisle of my store for great products, prices and FREE shipping on all orders.

 

See you next week!!
