Cancer ~ Nutrition ~ Facts & Myths

Nutritional Guidelines During Cancer Treatments -Facts and Myths

I wanted to post these notes from Dr. Steve Chaney who is active in cancer research at UNC . Please read his bio below.  There is much confusion on what patients should do during cancer treatments. Some of that misguided information  is given by the doctor themselves. Remember that most doctors get little nutritional education and in many cases discourage patients from taking any nutritional support when in fact it is helpful for many to make it successfully through cancer treatments.  If someone is going through cancer treatment it is very important to inform their doctor of any supplements they are taking.

Nutritional Support for Cancer

Common Myths Re: Cancer & Supplements

Myth #1 “ Vitamins feed cancer cells.”
Withholding  nutritional supplements is like destroying the village to save it.
The only way to selectively starve cancer cells is to withhold glucose (carbs) and keep the body alkaline
Normal healthy cells use carbohydrates, protein and fat for their energy. Cancer cells ONLY use glucose (carbohydrates) and require acidic conditions to metabolize the glucose.

GOOD CANCER STRATEGY

Keep blood sugar low
Keep blood alkaline ( Shaklee Alfalfa tablets and  vegetables). Avoid sugar, meat and dairy as they make blood acidic.
Myth #2:  Vitamins interfere with chemo drugs”
No good clinical studies have ever shown that supplements interfere with chemotherapy.
To be cautious, stop taking antioxidant supplements 2 days before chemo until 2 days after.  ( only antioxidants. Other supplements can continue)
Chemo drugs are designed to leave the body rapidly after they do their job
Some time between chemo treatments is required for normal cells to recover

Traditional Side Effects of Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy non-selectively damages all rapidly growing cells in the body,                      Affecting…Hair, Lining of Digestive Tract, and Bone Marrow
Causing skin lesions, Sores in the mouth
Digestive side effects are nausea, vomiting, and dehydration
Chemo causes neurological damage– “chemo brain”
Some drugs adversely affect the blood, damaging platelets, neutrophils, and lymphocytes
All essential for the immune system

Products that address Digestive Issues

For nausea – Stomach Soothing Complex
For dehydration – Performance
Optiflora to restore essential probiotics
EZ Gest provides all the digestive enzymes needed to digest fats, proteins, carbohydrates, etc if needed.

Big concern … Bone marrow Damage

Bone marrow is the reservoir for undifferentiated stem cells for all blood cells–
Platelets (for clotting), neutrophils & lymphocytes (white cells)
Blood cells have a life span of a few weeks to a few months, so they need constant replenishing.
The conversion from stem cells to mature cells requires cell division and, therefore, is potentially damaged by various chemotherapy drugs
This is why blood counts often drop with chemotherapy drugs.
It is Critical to Provide Nutrients the Bone Marrow Needs to Replenish the White Blood Cells and the Platelets.
Protein – critical to keep calories & protein up
Vitalizer – Feed healthy marrow cells with Vita C, Vita E, Zinc, B Complex,                                                 Carotenoids, and Vita Lea   (All in Vitalizer)
Nutriferon – stimulates interferon production – which causes the bone marrow to make more immune cells.( This is critical)

What About Red Blood Cells

Red blood cells are less affected than white cells and platelets, but anemia can still be a problem.
B Complex –very important for red blood cell production
Iron Plus C — sometimes needed
But the most life-threatening event is the weakening of the immune system from loss of white blood cells
Patients can succumb to infections from fungus, bacteria, yeast, etc.
Or get internal bleeding or stroke from loss of platelets.
Immune system is critical to fight the cancer cells

Consuming Bad Fats can be a cause of cancer

Reduce BAD fats– increase good fats
Eicosenoids are hormone-like substances that control cell growth.
Bad eicosenoids are made from bad fats omega-6 fats, saturated & trans fats – these are found in fried foods, foods made with vegetable oils like safflower, corn oil, sunflower oil etc, such as chips, crispy snacks, baked goods, processed foods, some salad dressings, beef, pork and lamb fed corn to fatten them
Good eicosanoids are made from good fats omega-3 fats in fish –Vitalizer & Omega Guard
Omega Guard Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Extra omega 3 fatty acids –to reduce the eicosanoids that stimulate cancer growth.
Omega 3 fatty acids –produce “good” eicosanoids that inhibit cancer growth.
Omega 6 fatty acids –produce “bad” eicosanoids that stimulate cancer growth.
Saturated fats & trans-fats may also stimulate cancer cell growth

Restrict Sugar and carbohydrates

Cancer cells rely exclusively on glucose to grow.
Cancer cells grow best in an acid environment
Therefore Keep blood sugar very low. (no sugar, starchy snacks)
Eat protein and vegetables.
Alkalize the body with alfalfa and vegetables

Detox the blood and liver

Chemotherapy drugs are poisons
They are designed to attack their targets and then leave the body all within a few days.
Help detoxify the liver with Liver DTX

Purpose of chemotherapy

The effectiveness of chemotherapy is directly proportional to the number of treatments that can be given to eradicate the cancer cells.
If the patient becomes too weak, if the white blood cells drop too low, treatment must stop.
So the goal is to keep the patient as strong as possible during treatment so the full round of chemotherapy can be administered…
That is why it is essential to strengthen normal cells between chemo treatments.

What Normal Cells need to recover between chemotherapy treatments

Nutrients needed by normal cells – Vitalizer
Repair damage of normal cells – Vivix and Protein:
Cinch (aka. 180), Energizing Soy, Mealshakes, Physique…
It doesn’t matter which they use.. whichever they like … but it is essential to keep protein and calorie levels high.
Immune nutrients–
Nutriferon, Vitalizer, FlavoMax, Carotomax
(PreVitamin A, controls cell growth)

Additional Nutrients

Defend and Resist Echinacea ( 1 week on 1 off)
Nutriferon – causes production of interferon. Interferon stimulates production of more immune cells

Radiation

Usually given daily
Avoid antioxidants so as not to protect cancer cells from the radiation ( C, E, carotenoids, flavonoids, Vivix, and Vitalizer, Cinch and Meal Shakes as they have antioxidants in them)
BUT take the supplements that are NOT antioxidants … Nutriferon, B Complex, Energizing Soy Protein, Instant Soy Protein Mix, Optiflora , Zinc,

To Review – The “Take Home” Lessons

There are no clinical studies showing whether or not supplementation interferes with chemotherapy
Because of the uncertainty some caution is prudent while the chemo drugs are in the body.  So we stop antioxidant supplements 2 days before through 2 days after Chemo, as the drugs leave the body in about 24-48 hours.  Then we resume them to help the normal cells recover between rounds of chemo so that more chemo treatments can be given

Clinical studies do show supplements can improve quality of life on chemotherapy

To Review– during chemotherapy

Stop antioxidant supplements 2 days before through 2 days after chemo.
Antioxidants are Vita C, E, CarotoMax, FlavoMax, and Vitalizer, Cinch and Meal Shakes (as they have antioxidants in them) and Vivix.
Continue to take Nutriferon, Optiflora, B Complex, Energizing Soy Protein shakes, Instant Soy Protein Mix, and Zinc.
The only time B vitamins are not recommended is when taking methotrexate & related drugs.
Antioxidants should be avoided during radiation treatment

Thoughts from the Professor

Chemotherapy is “the best of times and the worst of times”

• At its best, it offers miraculous cures
• At its worst, it exerts a terrible toll on the normal cells in our body

A prudent approach to supporting our normal cells while minimizing the interference with chemotherapy offers the possibility of:

• Minimizing side effects & improving quality of life
• Maximizing the number of chemotherapy treatments that can be given

Seniors Health: New Study and Recommended Supplements

Seniors Health: New Study and Recommended Supplements

A study finding that supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids and lutein with zeaxanthin could save American senior citizens $5.6 billion in health care costs during the next five years has resulted in the formation of a bipartisan Congressional Dietary Supplement Caucus.

The Lewin Group, a Falls Church, Va.-based health care consulting firm, conducted the study, commissioned by the Dietary Supplement Education Alliance.  A similar study, which found that regular intake of calcium and folic acid could save more than $15 billion in health care costs over five years, was released in 2004.

The Lewin Group analyzed hundreds of studies conducted over the last 30 years on omega-3s and lutein with zeaxanthin.  The group concluded that an 1,800 milligram daily dose of omega-3s could reduce coronary heart disease in people over age 65, resulting in 384,303 fewer hospitalizations over the next five years and a consequent $3.1 billion savings in health care expenditures.

Seniors who take 6 milligrams to 10 milligrams a day of lutein with zeaxanthin could reduce their susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), The Lewin Group found.  During the next five years, that would result in 98,219 fewer people losing their independence because of advanced AMD, saving $2.5 billion in care giving costs.

Three Life Changing Products in One Package

Our recommended nutrition program comes packaged with three products designed to provide you with the energy you need to meet the demands of your day, and the immune protection you need living in the modern world.

1. An Essential Daily Strip of Vitamins. This is a 30-day supply of the best spectrum of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, anti-aging phytonutrients, seven Omega-3's to help reduce the risk of heart disease, and guaranteed superactive probiotics to improve your digest healthy. 80 bio-optimized nutrients in all clinically proven to create a foundation for a longer, healthier life. A life filled with health, energy and vitality. Conveniently packaged in an daily tear-off strip, so its easy to take. Just tear off a strip with breakfast or lunch and you're off and running.

2. A Biologically Complete Protein from Non-Genetically Modified Soy. This is the highest quality, biologically complete protein from soy on the market today. It’s non-genetically modified.

Our soy protein includes all nine essential amino acids that your body can't produce on its own and must get from your diet. Did you know that a body under stress demands up to 6 times more essential amino acids? If it can't get the essential amino acids from the diet, it takes it from your muscles, sapping your energy and stamina!

Unlike other soy protein powders ours is easy to take and tastes great. Just mix it up in a glass of water, milk, juice, or cereal in the morning. Specially formulated so even kids will like the taste.

Research shows that daily intake of soy protein as part of low fat, low cholesterol diet helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promotes heart, breast and prostate health.

3. The Most Researched and Effective Immune Boosting Supplement on the Market Today. .

Dr. Kojima, the world-renowned immunologist, discovered interferon in 1954. Interferon has been used in treating cancer for years. After his discovery, Dr. Kojima spent over 40 years searching for a way to increase the body’s natural production of interferon, which is activated by the immune system when a virus attacks a cell. Interferon serves two important functions. It signals neighboring cells and triggers their resistance mechanisms, and it activates other immune cells that kill invading pathogens.

His lifelong work resulted in the development of a powerful blend of natural plant extracts which have been clinically proven to support and stimulate our bodies’ natural immune response. This breakthrough immune formula is exclusive -- you can only get it here!

Our recommended nutrition program is manufactured to meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy by a world leader in health and nutrition for over 50 years. Up to 276 separate tests are done on the raw ingredients in just one of the products in our nutrition program! You're guaranteed that what's on the labels are in the products-in the right amounts and with the highest quality of raw ingredients.

Real Stories from Real People

The results speak for themselves, already thousands of people are using this pr, achieving amazing results and sharing their stories. Here's what people have to say about how the nutrition program changed their life…

"I had to drive over 200 miles to test and haul back some equipment. Early in the morning before I left I took the products. I was not only able to accomplish my task, but I was not tired as I normally would be after spending all day behind the wheel. In fact, I was feeling so energetic when I got home I took my kids for 2 hours of roller-skating! ---Scott Y. Alan, TX

"I used to have those afternoon energy slumps where I had to live on coffee and snacks to sustain myself to the end of my work day. Coffee kept me up but my mind was clouded and "coffee jitters" didn't help to concentrate. When a friend of mine shared her experience with the nutritional product I was desperate enough to try. To my surprise after just 2 days on the program my body awakened! My energy level was steady, my afternoon slumps were gone and the fog from my mind was lifted! After a week I felt more upbeat, energetic and mentally alert, what a difference! I am now almost two months on the program and would NEVER go off it! I love it! I even noticed that some of my "aches and pains" are going away. --Debbie C. Atlanta, GA

BE BETTER looking than you've been in years

I Want To Look Better!

Use Our Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care
System and You're Guaranteed to
Look Noticeably Younger
in Less than 30 Days!

Biggest Scientific Breakthrough
Ever Seen in the Skin Care Industry!

Dear Internet Friend,

In all the years of lotions, ointments, creams, alpha-hydroxy acids, and other anti-aging formulas promising younger looking skin, there has never been a skin care line that does for your skin what our Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System has been clinically proven to do.
 

You're about to discover the biggest scientific breakthrough in skin care technology ever documented. With results so dramatic, you won't believe how much younger you can look in such a short time. How much better your skin will feel starting with the very first time you use it. How big the marked difference in texture, tone, lessening of splotches, dark circles and fine lines and wrinkles will be after just 4 weeks of use. And how many people will notice the difference on you even in just 2-3 days! "The first time I used it, my skin felt so different. Within two weeks my pores were minimized and my skin felt smoother. Within four weeks, my skin was so supple and soft and youthful, and felt so different! It's the same as looking at a baby's soft cheeks and wanting to pinch them, they are so soft! People who have known me a long time have said, "What have you been doing to your skin? Your face just glows!" People are even asking if they could touch my face! It's so smooth, supple and even-toned, that for the first time in 15 years I even go out without having full make-up on!" --Diane Over $1 million dollars was spent on research, development and testing of our Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System. The system was clinically tested for safety and performance at the independent laboratory of the California Skin Research Institute in collaboration with dermatologists and ophthalmologists from the internationally-renowned Scripps Clinic and Research Institute, located in La Jolla, California. The independent clinical results were startling and unprecedented in the skin care industry. Never have results like these been published or claimed by any skin care line until now… 88% Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just two weeks!! 154% increase in skin firmness in just four weeks! 104% reduction in the appearance of facial wrinkles in just eight weeks! "The results were so dramatic that you could look one person directly in the face and tell which side of the face was getting the product." --Richard Roberts, Ph.D. Independent Product Development Consultant. "I've been doing this for 15 years and I was surprised to see some rather remarkable changes... really significant changes in skin conditions over the course of the study." --Lawrence Rheins, Ph.D., California Skin Research Institute. An Unheard of 7 Patents! The results achieved by the Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System are so advanced and revolutionary that it has five patents with another two patents pending. One of the patents is a complex designed to counterbalance every free radical reaction that can potentially damage the surface of the skin. It breaks each link in the chain of free-radical damage and offers complete protection against the visible effects of both time and the environment. In comparison, almost all other skin care systems carry no patents. A few may boast one. Nutrients for the Skin It turns out that the same nutrients that protect your health also play a vital role in the appearance of your skin. In the biggest breakthrough in skin care to-date, a process was developed by the manufacturer of the Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System (a leader in nutritional products for over 40 years) to stabilize anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins and botanicals in skin care products so that when applied directly to your skin, they "infuse" your skin cells with nutrients that repairs collagen, dramatically reducing wrinkles, sags, bags and other skin blemishes. "For my 50th birthday I was going to treat myself to cosmetic laser surgery on my face. As it turned out, I tried your Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System, and now that I've been using it, I no longer feel I need laser surgery!" --Mary Our Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System utilizes anti-oxidants and other nutrients to fight visible aging 7 ways: Vitamin C to support the skin's natural defense against UV-induced collagen breakdown. Vitamin E to provide frontline defense and silky softness. Vitamin A to strengthen skin and boosts moisture retention. Pro-vitamin B5 to improve skin's suppleness and elasticity. Grape Seed Extract to block enzymes that break down collagen. Superoxide Dismutase to neutralizes surface damage. Beta Glucan to sooth environmental irritation. Stop the Clock on Accelerated Aging Turn Back the Hands of Time Use our Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System and stop the clock on accelerated aging due to climate changes. Stop the clock on accelerated aging due to UV-induced collagen breakdown. Stop the clock on accelerated aging due to environmental factors. Turn back the hands of time as it comprehensively blocks and reverses the visible signs of aging. "I would like to share with you the results on my mothers skin. She is 69 years old with sun damaged skin, mostly on her cheek area. She has been using the system for 8 weeks now and the amazing changes in her skin are unbelievable. Her deep lines have noticeably softened and refined. Her skin is looking fantastic!!!! Wow what an improvement!!!" --Lynn People Are Talking About the Amazing Results! Although the Amazing Anti-Aging Skin Care System was designed and tested to dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin firmness, people all over the country are talking about additional benefits from evening out age spots, improving acne and other skin blemishes to disappearing scars! "I had a lot of scarring on my cheeks from a long battle with cystic acne. I always had to cover it with a lot of foundation. Since using the products my skin has become so smooth I absolutely cannot believe it. I no longer have to wear heavy foundation and looking at my face you would never have known I had ever had a problem with scarring. I will definitely be using these products for the rest of my life. There's absolutely no question about it."--Name withheld by request

"Holy Cow, this stuff really works! I've never understood what "ashy" skin was, nor "luminescent" skin. But here it is, 3 days into using the products and I understand those words completely! After the birth of my son I began experiencing occasional acne break outs, my face was a mess that I had to bury under a ton of make up. The result of all this was discoloration scars all over my face, particularly on my left cheek. Over the years more break outs left even more discoloration scars, small brownish red splotches. However, on this the 3rd day after using the products I looked in the mirror and was astonished to see that a vast majority of the splotchy scars had faded to nearly non-existent! The color under my eyes has lightened up dramatically (I didn't realize I had such dark circles!). A particularly large brown scar splotch under my lip is gone. My skin looks more LUMINESCENT! wow, I understand that word! I can't believe what I'm seeing happen to my face! It's changing! It's looking clearer, it feels so silky...me? silky skin? YES... HOLY COW! Suddenly I can see things that I have never had "an eye for" seeing before. Clear, bright, youthful looking skin. This is absolutely incredible and to think...this is only the beginning? WOW!!!"--Kathleen

"For years I have had a mole about 1/4" round and very dark brown on my cheek. It was annoying to look at and didn't look very good when I tried to cover it up. I've been using the system now for 2 weeks and to my surprise a few days ago, I noticed that about 3/4 of it is now the same color as my skin! Wow!!!!! I was shocked! It also doesn't feel as high, (it was raised). After just two weeks, my skin tone is much more even and feels much firmer, even my eyelids! My eyeshadow goes on much smoother and stays on all day with absolutely no creases by the end of the day. I am excited!!!!!!"--Nicole

"On a scale of 1 to 10, my skin is at least a 20 on the oily side. My eyelids are even oily!!! My husband, a chiropractor, who touches people's faces all day long when he gives a cervical adjustment, says no one has as oily skin as I do. I have tried, in the past, oil-control creams (worthless), oil-free makeup, etc., nothing worked--until I tried your products!!!!! Tremendous decrease in oil---didn't powder my face every hour today!!!! Don't feel like I could fry an egg by using what's on my forehead!!--Nan

Getting Older......And LOVING IT!

Everyone wants to be healthy. Well, that's not true! I had one lady tell me that she didn't want to get well because she didn't want to lose her financial assistance. Those of us who want to be healthy, want to be so for different reasons but sometimes we focus too much on “the today” instead of long-term health. Here are some reasons that may be why you want to be healthy..............

1. To Feel Young and Energetic. When we are young, it is easier to keep going and going and ‘get over’ little sleep, too much bad food and skipping exercise.  As we get older, it gets harder for our bodies to bounce back.  I want to feel energetic and feel young, at every age.
2. To Ward Off Disease and Health Problems. When we abuse or don’t take care of our bodies, it can shows the other side of the coin......disease and health problems as we get older.  Taking good care of yourself can help you to ward off diseases and give us overall better quality of life.
3. To Be Pain and Injury Free. Being healthy also means being able to stay active and maintaining an exercise regimen to keep your body strong, thus lowering your risk of injuries to your joints and chronic pain.
4. To Travel and See the World. Personally, I love to travel and I plan to continue seeing the world no matter how old I get! Being healthy makes it a lot easier to fly, walk, get on and off trains and deal with some of the small inconveniences that go along with travel.  That said, the rewards of seeing the world make it all worth it!
5. To Have Low Medical Bills. Chances are, the healthier you are the less likely you will have to go to the Doctor’s office, even for the minor things. Our habits today truly impact how we will feel and look 20 years from now.
6. To Dance the Night Away. I love to dance and the idea of dancing the night away when I’m 100 makes me giddy. I can actually picture myself dancing under the disco ball, while my kids go “Moooommmmm! That's so embarrassing!”
7. To Feel Good about Yourself. Being healthy often means feeling good, both inside and out, which helps our self-confidence and self-esteem.
8. To Do Things You Love. Taking care of ourselves allows us to continue the activities that we enjoy and that keep us young!
9. To Play. The shell may get older, but the spirit stays young. When I look in the mirror, yes, I can see that I am almost 40, but at the same time I still feel like a teenager! I love it! The theater is one of my playgrounds. Where do you get to play?
10. It is Natural Prevention. Staying healthy is the best form of prevention for today and tomorrow's tomorrow!
    

There are so many reasons to want to be healthy.  It can take definitelly work, but..... the rewards are endless. 


So, why do you choose to be healthy?

Is There Ever a Bad Time To Start a Business?

Do you dream about starting a business, but don’t know if it is the right time? Are you concerned that the economic recovery still has a long way to go, so now might not be the right moment? Are you letting fear stop you from following your dream of owning a business?



Starting a business is something that can be done, no matter the economic climate. You may have to adjust your plan, but if you are savvy enough, you can find the customers your new business needs.



You cannot wait for the perfect time, or you will always be making an excuse as to why now is not the right time. The fear will always be there, so embrace it instead of running from it. Harness your fear and direct it in a positive way to ensure you are making smart decisions and thinking before acting.



The Right Frame Of Mind



The one thing that you need to have before starting a new business is the right frame of mind – the right attitude. If you are not mentally in the game, then don’t even bother. Conceptualizing, forming, growing, and running, a business takes a lot of time and energy, and creates a lot of stress and uncertainty. If your head is not in the game, then your business is doomed to fail from the start.



A great mental attitude can trump your lack of business knowledge. You can always gain knowledge, or hire someone smarter than you, but without passion, you lack the drive to be able to have a successful business. Having the right mindset is something you need before becoming an entrepreneur. You have to believe in yourself, and you have to be willing to sacrifice a lot while you build your company.



The Right Idea



However, the right frame of mind will only get you so far. You also need to have a great concept for a business. This doesn’t mean that your idea for the perfect business has to be something that nobody has heard of before – it just needs to be unique.



While there are probably plenty of unique businesses that have yet to be thought of, you don’t have to be a pioneer in order to be a successful business owner. What you do need is to bring something original to the table. If you are going to compete with existing companies in the marketplace, you have to have your own unique selling point. What makes you different from the other guys? Why would consumers (or businesses) choose you over your competition?

Energy Crisis

We've all been there. Kids are running around, house needs to be cleaned, grocery shopping needs to be done, laundry is piling up, and all you want to do is take a nap. Or maybe, you're getting ready to leave work at the end of the day, and your boss hands you another tasks that needs your immediate attention.

Cramming for that exam that's tomorrow and you just can't seem to concentrate. We all experience fatigue at some point, but with all the demands of work and family, we are constantly under pressure to do more, and more, and more, and more..... in less time.

We are in an energy crisis! And, I don't mean the type that powers your home. I'm talking about those energy drinks that line the shelves........packed with sugar and caffeine. They provide a quick lift followed by a crash creating an energy roller coaster. They have absolutely no nutritional value, but what's even worse is they have a negative impact on your blood sugars and can be dangerous to people with undiagnosed heart conditions. Actually, some have ingredients that are proven to be damaging to the heart, yet, they are still on the supermarket shelves.

So, what should you look for in a supplement that provides an energy boost as well as mental clarity without the side effects?

• Key ingredients have been shown in a clinical study and numerous laboratory studies to improve cell defense, cell energy, cell repair, and cell performance
• Delivers a broad spectrum of over 15 polyphenols—including ellagitannins, one of nature’s most potent antioxidants*
• Ingredients that are 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone in slowing a key mechanism of cellular aging
• All natural—no artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives
• Patent pending and exclusive

You need to look for something that supports: • Supercharged vitality • Enhanced immunity • Stress management • Antioxidant defense • DNA protection • Heart and brain health • Bone and joint health • Digestive health • Healthy hair, nails, and skin

If you want to be more productive in your day, clear brain fog, reduce anxiety, enhance your athletic performance, and finally beat the fatigue cycle, avoid artificial stimulants and feed your body what it needs to tap into its natural vitality.

When I opened up my consignment & thrift store, it literally took me months of preparation. I had my business plan to write. Equipment to research and purchase. Retail space to find and lease. Utilities to connect. Contracts to review and sign. Advertising campaigns to design. The list goes on and on. It took me months of planning while space in my house shrank as I had to store & prepare everything in my home until I my store space was ready to move into. And, of course, all the financial investment that I needed to make before even opening my doors........all before I could start making profit, which, thanks to all my careful planning and attention to details, I did make it! Not all businesses starting from the ground up are that fortunate.

But, after years of working an average of 80 hours a week to keep my business a success, I realized that there was something even more simple and I could still be my own boss. With very minimal investment, I was able to start the business I am now in.............in less than 30 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!

All the inventory, delivering, planning, payment processing, excise taxes, etc. is all done for me. All I had to do was take that first step, keep the wheel turning that was already put in place, and focus on my goals and dreams!

No more working 80 hours a week for me!

I get to enjoy living my life the way I want to live it!

DOCTORS vs. SUPLLEMENTS

(From a letter written by Dr. Stephen G Chaney)

Many of the people that I talk to seem to think that all doctors are against supplementation.

In fact, the opposite is true, as illustrated by a recent study of 900 specialists - 300 cardiologists,
300 dermatologists and 300 orthopedists (A. Dickinson et al, Nutrition Journal, 2011, 10:20, doi:
10.1186/1475-2891-10-20)

When asked if they used dietary supplements occasionally, 75% of dermatologists, 73% of
orthopedists and 57% of cardiologists said yes.

When asked whether they used supplements regularly the percentages were 59% for dermatologists, 50% for orthopedists and 37% for cardiologists – percentages that are not significantly different from the general population.

Multivitamins were the most frequently used supplements with between 44% and 61% of physicians using a multivitamin, depending on their specialty.

Omega-3 fatty acids were the next most used supplements, with over 25% of the physicians in each
specialty using it.

Over 20% of the physicians in each specialty used herbal supplements, with green tea extract being the most frequently used.

Finally, vitamin C, calcium and glucosamine/chondroitin supplements rounded out the top 6.

And the physicians surveyed were not just using the products themselves - they were recommending them to their patients.

91% of orthopedists, 72% of cardiologists and 66% of dermatologists recommended supplements to their patients.

If you did the math you may have noticed that more physicians recommend supplements to their patients than use them on a regular basis themselves - which is interesting!

The article did not report which supplements physicians in each of the specialties were recommending to their patients, but it did say that:

- 75% of orthopedists, 69% of dermatologists and 55% of cardiologists agreed with the statement "It is a good idea for patients to take multivitamins."

- 69% of cardiologists agreed with the statement "Adults with a family history of heart disease should
consider taking dietary supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids/fish oil."

- And 93% of orthopedists agreed with the statement "Adults with a family history of osteoporosis or poor bone health should consider taking a calcium dietary supplement."

And for those of us who teach physicians, it appears that we are not doing a very good job. Most of the
physicians in the study indicated that their nutrition training was inadequate, and they had not received any training on the subject of dietary supplements.

The bottom line for you is pretty simple.

If you are using, or considering using, dietary supplements, you are in good company.
