During a recent leadership seminar held at their corporate office, attendees were able to sample the product and the <i>immediate reviews were all positive</i>. In fact, there was <u>not</u> a single negative feedback and some people even came back to the sample table wanting more.<p></p><p>This amazing new product is called <b>Xiome365</b> and looks to be revolutionary when it comes to promoting gut health.We may not realize it but there are many reasons why gut health is so important. Leaky gut, for instance, is a condition that affects your whole body. It may very well be the cause behind your GI problems such as GERD or IBS, weight gain, skin issues like eczema, mood issues like anxiety, or even hormonal imbalances. <br /></p><p>Xiome365 includes several trademarked ingredients. One of those ingredients is <b>Fibriss™</b> which provides both soluble and insoluble fiber.

If you have ever pulled a muscle, lifted a heavy box, suffered from a sports injury or been in an accident, then you’ve experienced the frustration of a painful muscle or joint injury. Xooma's Joint Health™ is a synergistic formula that contains the clinically meaningful levels of researched and proven ingredients that deliver real results for anyone experiencing age or exercise-induced joint damage.<br />
<br />
The formula utilized in Xooma’s Joint Health has over 10 years of clinical research which has been shown to protect and support joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, connective tissues and bones, and aid in post injury joint repair. Most people report noticeable results with their very first bottle!<br />
<br />
Let’s take a closer look at the key nutrients in this exclusive formula.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">OptiMSM</span></b><br />
The powerful healing effects of this trademarked nutrient complex are well documented. OptiMSM® supplies biologically active sulfur in a safe, nontoxic way to ease the pain of arthritis. After many years of clinical use, OptiMSM® has shown to have the following pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits without uncomfortable side effects including:<br />
<br />
♦ Increased blood supply in the body<br />
♦ Reduction of inflammation<br />
♦ Reduction of muscle spasms<br />
♦ Softening of scar tissue<br />
<br />

Here are some of the many benefits that OptiMSM® offers.*<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: lime;">Joint Health </span></b><br />
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is made up of 34% sulfur – the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. Sulfur is an important nutrient for the maintenance of healthy joints, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissue. OptiMSM® is an ultra-pure, high quality MSM supplement backed by numerous pre-clinical and clinical studies for safety and efficacy.<br />
<br />
OptiMSM® has been shown to encourage a significant reduction in pain and deterioration of cartilage matrix in joints in many studies. These studies also revealed that OptiMSM® has the ability to improve mobility and impact the immune response.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: lime;">Inflammation </span></b><br />
♦ Researchers have observed that OptiMSM® may modify pro-inflammatory mechanisms to alleviate exercise-induced soreness and support antioxidant levels in the body. Properties found in OptiMSM® can help deter the accumulation of oxidative damage that develops through aging and stress on the body.<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: lime;">Efficacy</span></b><br />
♦ Several pre-clinical and clinical studies support the efficacy of MSM in supporting joint health and range of motion. Research shows that MSM reduces inflammatory markers that damage cartilage as we age, protecting its integrity.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">CMO</span></b><br />
Xooma's Joint Health also contains the world’s first and only true immunomodulator, CMO (Cerasomal-cis-9-cetylmyristoleate), and is 99.9% pure. CMO helps to correct the body’s functions associated with aging and/or exercise, rather than just suppressing or stimulating the system's activities. CMO is not an immunosuppressant, nor an immunostimulant. Nor is it pharmaceutical. It is a naturally derived substance (naturally associated Bovine fatty acids that are made into waxy esters and converted into 100% CMO powder) that has the highest safety level attainable by certified independent laboratory LD-50 testing.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Glucosamine</span></b><br />
Another powerful ingredient found in Xooma's Joint Health is Glucosamine. Our ultra-pure form of Glucosamine is an amino sugar produced from the shells of shellfish (chitin) and is a key component of the extra cellular matrix needed in human cartilage. Glucosamine works to stimulate joint function and repair. It has been one of the most popular alternatives recommended by doctors for easing osteoarthritis pain, aiding in rehabilitating cartilage, renewing synovial fluid, and repairing joints that have been damaged from osteoarthritis. Our bodies produce Glucosamine naturally but as the body ages it produces less, leaving our joints more and more vulnerable to injury, stiffness and possible pain.<br />
<br />
Glucosamine alone has been subjected to over 300 scientific investigations and is supported by 20 double blind, placebo studies. These studies have come to the conclusion that Glucosamine works at both relieving pain and stimulating the healing process. These studies also found that Glucosamine reduced pain more effectively than ibuprofen.**<br />
<br />
<b>Xooma’s Joint Health™ Formula WORKS!</b><br />
<br />
Joint Health is one of the best-kept secrets in Xooma’s product line. People around the world have grown to trust and rely on the health benefits they’ve experienced from this exclusive formula.<br />
If you’re experiencing joint pain or discomfort, you owe it to yourself to discover the restoration and relief this proven product has provided to people around the world for more than 10 years. Order yours today!<br />

<br />
<br />
**OptiMSM®, CMO and Glucosamine are often effective for temporary pain relief. It has been reported that doctors are able to lower the dosage of pain medication they prescribe for patients. In most cases the end result is relief, along with fewer side effects that are frequently caused by prescription medications.<br />

fast-paced health conscious world, the word ‘fat’ has many negative
connotations. However, we tend to forget
that there are good fats out there that are vital to life. So what is a good fat? Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are the ‘good
fats’ that are commonly deficient in the United States, particularly Omega
3’s. Since the human body cannot make
EFAs, we need to supplement our daily diet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fat that can reduce clot formation and lower the ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol. It may protect the body from heart disease
and keep your arteries healthy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "baskerville old face" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Omega 3 fish oil is quickly becoming as important
to your overall health as a daily multivitamin.
The significant benefits for your health are far too numerous to
ignore. From heart health to better brain function, from reducing the risk of cancers
to improving people’s moods, Omega 3’s just might be one of the most important
supplements in your daily diet.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

water fish at least 3-4 times a week, you are probably not getting enough Omega
3’s in your diet. In fact, many food
companies are now making claims that their products have added Omega 3’s. Unfortunately, many of those foods do not
contain nearly enough Omega 3’s needed by the body or forms that are easily

role in maintaining health and your body’s natural defense system. Squalene is a single, highly unsaturated
hydrocarbon, which can easily produce oxygen by combining with water. It is of the highest purity available. When the body experiences an increase in
oxygen, energy metabolism is enhanced and a more efficient metabolic process
occurs at the cellular level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that is easily absorbed, it acts as an antioxidant and aids in the body’s
detoxifying system which protects against foreign substances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "baskerville old face" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Alkoglycerol has been shown to
possess a potent immune system stimulant activity and the terms alkoxyglycerols
and shark liver oil are frequently used interchangeably. Alkoxyglycerols are found naturally in shark
liver oil in the form of fatty acid esters.
They are a lipid substance found in the blood-forming organs, such as
bone marrow, spleen and liver. They are
also important components of human breast milk.
It stimulates the formation of white blood cells (leucocytes) and
platelets, and promotes the activation of macrophages during inflammation and
tumor processes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Last week, the Environmental Working Group launched a national Tap Water Database that contains data for nearly 50,000 public water systems across the U.S. The numbers come from tests conducted between 2010 and 2015 that utilities reported to state agencies and the Environmental Protection Agency. How does your tap water rate... and more importantly, what are you doing about it? Do your friends and family know about "The X2O Solution"? Don't let someone else share it with them before you do! <a data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" href="https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/</a></div>

Plain water is dead water. Bring your water back to life with mineral-rich X2O sachets. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">X2O sachets contain an all-natural mineral complex that releases beneficial trace minerals into the water. These minerals can be easily absorbed and used to support your body's metabolic functions. Every sachet of X2O contains calcium, magnesium, and over 70 naturally-occurring trace minerals. In maintaining a healthy pH balance, your body must have an abundant supply of ionic minerals, especially calcium. Ensuring that your body gets the optimal level of minerals it needs is a vital component to being healthy.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Your body is approximately 70% water. The most critical fluid in your body, your blood, is also mostly water. Your muscles, skin, and vital organs all contain and need large amounts of water for optimal health. And water transports oxygen to your cells, delivers nutrients, removes waste, and provides energy to the body.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Your body loses approximately 2.5 liters of water every day, just through normal bodily functions. You lose water through urination, respiration, and perspiration. If you are physically active or athletic, you lose even more water. Although "thirst" is an obvious sign of dehydration, the truth is your body is in need of water long before you feel thirsty. There are many symptoms of dehydration, from mild to severe. Some of the more mild forms of dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, constipation, muscle cramps.</span></div>

While drinking water is one of the most important daily needs for your body, studies are revealing the presence of more contaminants, not only in our drinking water but also in bottled water. According to a recent article in Reader's Digest, modern-day tap water can contain some pretty surprising things, including antibiotics, arsenic, fertilizers, lead, pesticides, rocket fuel and more.<br />This alarming concern over the safety of today's municipal water certainly explains the growing popularity of bottled water in the past 10 years.</span><br />

Summer's coming in the Western hemisphere and with that comes a lot more sunny days and more outdoor activities. With that in mind, we need to keep our skin protected from the threat of skin cancer. If you can, limit your sun exposure time and protect your body.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<a href="http://www.xooma.com/aatkins/products-product-x2o.php" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjik8iesjPscOFn9-4mxMV059774jluzb6knQFI2OG6i5umGtVl64j_-qqLBQKoxgxhivfYRy8HUUlZMZWCEBDJMLkwoSyuNBSJ1POkSVHFkIEXLPnaSOg1r6heBlUK4-PPfCAnQetmrQw/s320/19055113_1517937104923377_8132240610906069305_o.jpg" width="180" /></a>While commercial sunscreens may contain chemicals that are not necessarily "healthy" for the body, using them when you're spending a lot of time under sun may be safer than using nothing at all. We found a great guide to use for comparing the toxicity of various sunscreen ingredients. Check it out here - <a href="http://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/report/the-trouble-with-sunscreen-chemicals/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Trouble With Ingredients in Sunscreens</a>.<br />
<br />
There are also natural alternatives available. Read about them in <a href="https://sunwarrior.com/healthhub/natural-sunscreen-alternatives" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Healthhub</a> by Sunwarrior. You can <a href="http://www.getx2o.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">X2O</a> from <a href="http://www.lastinglifestylechange.com/x2o.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Xooma Worldwide</a> adds over 72 trace minerals to your water and helps your body stay alkaline, resisting the harmful damage caused by free radicals.<br />
also always protect yourself by keeping your body hydrated at the cellular level with a mineral-rich alkaline water supplement.<br />
<br />
It's also important to maintain a diet rich in healthy fats and antioxidants. If you choose to supplement your diet, we recommend taking <a href="http://naturalhealthsearch.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-superior-omega-3-blend.html" target="_blank">Omega 3/75</a> from Xooma Worldwide and the flavor-rich antioxidant drink mix, <a href="http://naturalhealthsearch.blogspot.com/2012/06/xooma-blast-new-flavor-announced.html" target="_blank">Blast</a>, also from Xooma Worldwide. Omega 3/75 is a one-of-a-kind, ultra-pure formula that contains a high
ration of EPA & DHA (Essential Fatty Acids) along with shark liver
oil & squalene for immune system support. Blast, on the other hand, is natural fruit/vegetable flavoring with a high ORAC value and low-glycemic value content. Both work to keep your body's immune support system strong and fight off damage caused by things like free radicals.<br />
<br />
Check these suggestions out. Keep yourself safe this summer season as you enjoy your time outdoors.<br />

Our research team came across this article written for a Health & Wellness company's bi-monthly newsletter, The HealthBeat. The article, written by naturopathic doctor, Dr. Melissa Bennett (owner of the The Olive Leaf, LLC. in Norcross, GA), reveals some of the hidden chemicals commonly found in our foods and how it affects our health.<br />

If you have not been paying attention to the product labels on the packaged foods you purchase, here are some good reasons why you should start doing it. Check out the article republished here:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I recently visited a local grocery store and as I was
browsing the aisles, something caught the corner of my eye. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bright orange and red bag, with floating
pieces of orange chips drew me in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because
I am a Naturopathic doctor and this is what I do for a living, I decided to
read the label. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After reading the label,
I spent some additional time researching food addiction and gained greater insight
into our food industry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my exploration, I found there were several additives
listed on the label which may adversely affect your health. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would suggest you investigate any additives,
especially if you have symptoms that may be linked to food /chemical intolerance.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is my specialty. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You also want to inform your PCP (Primary Care
Physician) of any symptoms you are experiencing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throughout this article, I have cited several
resources that will provide more in-depth information on the subject of food
additives, especially if you are struggling with food addiction or battling
weight problems. </div>

<br />
The following were among the 50 additives found on the bag of chips I mentioned above: maltodextrin, monosodium glutamate, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oil, corn flour, disodium phosphate, natural and artificial flavor, dextrose, artificial color (including Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 40), sugar, sodium caseinate, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, corn syrup solids (Frito Lay, 2015). These items are listed under “Ingredients” which is part of the labeling on every prepackaged consumable item. We are not taught to pay attention to this part of the packaging, but rather focus primarily on the “Nutrition Facts.”<br />
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #08a41b; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></i></b></div>
According to <a href="http://www.livestrong.com/">www.Livestrong.com</a>, the consumption of the following additives can have these possible side effects:<br />
<ul>
<li> <u>Maltodextrin.</u><b> </b>Possible side effects: the consumption of maltodextrin has side effects and health risks similar to most food additives. These include allergic reactions, unexplained weight gain, bloating, and flatulence.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <u>Monosodium Glutamate</u><b>.</b> Possible side effects: a burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest; facial pressure or tightness; chest pain; heart palpitations; headache; nausea; numbness in the back of the neck radiating to the arms and back; tingling or warmth in the upper body; drowsiness; and weakness. FASEB (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) referred to these symptoms collectively as MSG Symptom Complex. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><u>Partially Hydrogenated Soybean or cottonseed oil</u>. Possible Side Effects: trans fats work against the body in many ways. They increase bad cholesterol -- low-density lipoprotein, or LDL -- and decrease good cholesterol -- high-density lipoprotein, or HDL. Furthermore, they block the production of chemicals that combat inflammation and benefit the hormonal and nervous systems, while at the same time allowing chemicals that increase inflammation. This means that trans fats promote inflammation and negatively impact cholesterol levels.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><u>Natural and artificial flavor (Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 40)</u>. According to Dr. Mercola, Red 40 may accelerate the appearance of immune system tumors in mice. It also causes hypersensitivity (allergy-like) reactions in some consumers and might trigger hyperactivity in children. Yellow #5 (Tartrazine) causes sometimes severe hypersensitivity reactions and might trigger hyperactivity and other behavioral effects in children. Yellow #6 (Sunset Yellow) caused adrenal tumors in animals and occasionally causes severe hypersensitivity reactions. These are also in Cosmetics.</li>

<b>Sinking the Sub </b><br />

Recently in the news (reported by CBS News), a restaurant which sells primarily sub sandwiches had to remove a component from their bread called <b>azodicarbonamide</b>. This ingredient is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in food as a bleaching agent and dough conditioner. Azodicarbonamide is also the same material that is in Yoga mats. I thought the irony of this is that you could eat the sandwich and exercise the calories off by using the bread!<br />
<br />
This ingredient has since been removed from the dough, but the problem is that this was not the only chain using this specific ingredient. “The Environmental Working Group published a list of nearly 500 food products containing the chemical.” (CBS NEWS/AP <i>April 11, 2014</i>) Another chain restaurant which sells chicken was recently notified by a consumer called “The Food Babe” that their most popular sandwich contains over 150 chemicals.<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span>On the back of every product consumed, you will notice a larger label which usually says “Nutritional Facts.” This label is important because it will list the calories, total fat, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, total carbohydrate, proteins and vitamins value, per serving, which will provide insight into the nutritional content of the foods. Supposedly, this will allow you to make an educated decision on how many chips you will actually be consuming. Once you read the label you can simply pull out 10 to 12 chips and put the bag away! Maybe in another universe, but not in America! This phenomenon could be blamed on exceptional marketing techniques (which definitely have a role in manipulating our food choices) or could it be even a little more out of our control?<br />
<br />
Let’s say a chemical or several chemicals are strategically placed in our foods which enhance the flavor to a point where we crave it without knowing exactly why we are craving it. The secondary label usually in ‘very’ small print is “Ingredients”. This label is relegated to a second tier, but is just as important or even more so than the infamous “Nutrition Facts.” What is the point of having “Nutrition Facts” if we are simultaneously being bombarded through manufactured chemicals to eat more than we were intending, because of irresistible flavor additives?<br />

<br />
This is not only true in foods on your grocery store shelves, but also in our restaurant industry. Many of the “Mom and Pop” restaurants of yesterday are gone and we are left with different restaurant chains that are usually part of several large corporations. Have you noticed as you drive through town <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

after town, you will see the same exact restaurants over and over again? The powers that be, which control our food supply, are aware that the average American will spend approximately $1,000 per year on dining out (Forbes Investing, February 2013). According to the New York Times article “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food,” this is called “Stomach Share” which is the amount of digestive space that any one company brand can grab from their competitors. This competition has resulted as of 2013 with one in 3 adults clinically obese, one in 5 children clinically obese, 24 million Americans with Type 2 Diabetes and 79 million with prediabetes. Gout, which was considered ‘a rich man’s disease’, now affects over 8 million Americans.<br />
<br />
<br />
The primary goal of restaurant chains is to make their food as tasty as possible so that you will partake of their food and bypass the competitor. According to Sean Williams (The war on your stomach: Why you eat Twinkies and Coke), they are “impelling a high-tech arms race that includes such foreboding machines as a $40,000 simulated mouth which has enabled Frito Lay’s army of 500 chemists, psychologists and technicians, employed at a cost of nearly $30 million a year, to determine that consumers most prefer a chip that snaps with four pounds of pressure per square inch” (NY Times Article, Michael Mosley).<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: blue; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

They believe ‘it’s just business’ and they are not intentionally on a mission to hurt anyone. They are just using what is available within the food industry and what is approved by the FDA to increase consumption of the foods they supply. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: blue; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: black;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Xooma to the rescue!</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Besides corporate gain, there are other factors that dictate
why we have so many flavor enhancement additives, food colorings and chemicals.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to a book I recently read by
Mark Schatzker called “The Dorito Effect” (The Surprising New Truth About Food
and Flavor), we have over utilized the land and because of mass production of
foods and mass consumption, our foods have become ‘less favorable’ as well as ‘less
nutritional’.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re reading this, you are most likely a Member of
Xooma Worldwide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That also means you are
already enlightened to the fact that the mineral content in our soil has been
depleted dramatically over the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
soil contains a fraction of the amount of minerals compared to 50 years ago,
and this continues to decline.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is exactly what our ‘flag ship’ product <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">X20<sup>TM</sup></b> is compensating for –
the lack of minerals from other nutritional sources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only does <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">X2O</b> contain over 70 trace minerals in each individual sachet, it’s
also in a bioavailable form, which simply means it more readily helps the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">X20</b>
serves many purposes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A primary benefit is
providing trace minerals that are vital to our overall health, and the fact
that our bodies do not produce minerals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then, these minerals serve to alkalize our water and in turn, our
bodies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">These benefits are preventative and
help compensate and eliminate the chemicals and colorings that are being added
to our current food supply.</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">YOU, as the consumer</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what can you do as a consumer to keep your body healthy
on a day-to-day basis?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Bodey Fox
says, “This life is only a dash.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So you
do not want to become overly obsessed with trying to eat perfectly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is very difficult to maintain and hats
off to those who can eat completely organic, especially if your budget
permits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what about the rest of us
who have large families or who are on a stricter budget?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The key to maintaining health is to live by the famous
quote, “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the
courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The following is a very general guideline to follow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my practice, I provide a structured
program which includes micronutrient testing as well as food sensitivities.</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>Make good choices by adding as much
non-processed foods back into your diet as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Curtail the ‘whites’ (most bread, potatoes,
pasta, and rice), since they don’t deliver very much nutrition per calorie, and
they often have very high glycemic indexes – resulting in excessive insulin
production, and potentially insulin resistance and adult-onset diabetes.
If you must eat grains, eat whole grains – for better fiber, mineral,
anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and cholesterol reduction benefits.<span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></li>

deliver almost no nutrition per calorie. Increase fruits
(especially berries, like blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries) to fully
or partly substitute for the desserts. Substitute healthy teas such as green
tea (discourages stroke, heart attack, cancer, and neurological damage) for
empty-calorie sodas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Helping stabilize
blood sugar, in addition to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">X2O</b>, is
Xooma’s <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Berry Balance<sup>TM</sup></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Berry Balance helps maintain a healthy blood

Then read this...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The human body is designed to consist of at least 70% water.
Unfortunately, many of today's popular drinks such as coffee and sodas
are a major factor that contribute to dehydration and unhealthy acidic
conditions within the body. Do you know how much water it takes to
neutralize the acid in just one soda? <br />
<br />
It can take up to 30 glasses of purified water to neutralize the
acid from one 12 oz. soda. Each time you choose to drink an acidic
beverage, your body uses its own mineral buffers to protect you from
these dangerous acids and maintain your healthy blood pH level of
7.35-7.45.<br />
<br />
<b>Is Bottled Water the Right Answer?</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.rd.com/health/diet-weight-loss/rethink-what-you-drink/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="96" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4vXQHVmU1yPehPsVFKVzkBodd5iZ5BOhWKuAfbYkJCp3TrSi5KVxfJePFmdBHHRWhk5qoJUjYaZqiEqz9vS9hPYb2qT7wMp1CUd5P7qelfmQ1AHWv_WO6v436fLRHzd1c3AehmzBk50o/s320/WhatsInYourWaterClearBackground.png" width="320" /></a></div>
It's clear that while consuming water is important, consuming
purified water is vital. And while bottled water does provide more
purity, most brands of bottled water are still “acidic” to the body
(because their pH readings fall below 7) and don't offer optimal
hydration due to the lack of minerals and electrolytes. As a result,
many health experts often refer to today's bottled waters as “dead
water.” For example, reports are now surfacing about health problems
from long-time consumers of distilled water – directly attributable to
the lack of minerals in their water and in their body.<br />
<br />
So the right answer is <b>combining purified water</b> with an<b> X2O
sachet</b>, to create all the benefits of more energized, alkalized and
mineralized water...which means more health benefits for you!<br />

<br />
Our team received exclusive insider news that Xooma Worldwide, wholesale distributors of a unique and powerful fish oil product called Omega 3/75™ will be adding a higher quality, trademarked Omega 3 fish oil called Incromega™ to their formula.<br />
<br />
This is great news for those who know and already enjoy the many health benefits provided by the existing formula. Omega 3/75 is a one-of-a-kind, ultra-pure formula that contains a high ration of EPA & DHA (Essential Fatty Acids) along with shark liver oil & squalene for immune system support. <br />
<br />
Adding Incromega to the formulation includes higher concentrations of EPA and DHA, meaning further health benefits. All the oils in this trademarked formula are derived from wild deep-sea cold water fish and work to support optimal immune function by providing powerful antioxidants and by stimulating the production of white blood cells (neutrophils and macrophages). <br />
<br />
We can't wait to try the new improved formula!<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Longevity Components</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b>In recent years, longevity (anti-aging) researchers have been able to identify the key mechanisms behind “cellular aging” and have isolated the factors that can slow or reverse those aging processes. The most important of these factors are actually determined by your environment, lifestyle and dietary choices. In other words, how “old” your body feels is largely determined by what you do to support your health on a daily basis.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
LifeSource contains the following 4 longevity factors, each of which is briefly described below:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
~ <b>Alpha Lipoic Acid </b>is a naturally occurring and essential cofactor in energy metabolism that also acts as one of the bodies most powerful antioxidants. Lipoic acid has been shown to help prevent both vitamin C and vitamin E deficiency as it helps keep water soluble and fat soluble antioxidants active over extended periods. Research also shows that lipoic acid may be a strong inhibitor of energy loss through aging, as it helps protect the bodies premiere energy factories—mitochondria—from decay.*</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
~<b> Resveratrol </b>is one of the most powerful antioxidants produced by the plant kingdom— found especially in grapes and red wine. It has been shown in studies to exert powerful positive effects on the heart and blood vessels by inhibiting the narrowing of arteries, keeping blood cells from sticking together. Harvard researchers have also discovered that Resveratrol has the ability to activate a “longevity gene,” which could possibly extend life span.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7108449947922776533" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>~ <b>Lutein</b> is a naturally occurring carotenoid (one of 600) which is found in green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale. Lutein is a very powerful antioxidant where eye health is concerned. Several studies indicate that the higher the lutein concentration in the macula, the lower the risk for age related eye disease such as Macular Degeneration (AMD).<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
~ <b>DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol)</b>: is a biochemical precursor to the neurotransmitter involved in memory—acetylcholine. DMAE is often referred to as the main “brain food” associated with fish consumption, as it is naturally occurring in fishes like sardines and anchovies. Studies have indicated that DMAE (in smaller dosages, as found in LifeSource) may be able to enhance brain function and overall mood. DMAE has also been shown to increase the lifespan of animals.*</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Revolutionary multi-vitamin / multi-mineral product</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With all the multi-vitamin / multi-mineral product choices in the marketplace today, LifeSource is one of the very few that offers a complete and balanced combination of high quality ingredients that deliver real results and at a reasonable price. But, don’t take our word for it. </div>

The article was written by Dr. Melissa Bennett, one of Xooma's Scientific Advisory Board Members. Check it out!</b></i><br />
<br />
As a Doctor of Naturopathy, I focus on three primary areas of health: physical, emotional and spiritual. All three of these areas have an important role in maintaining our health. Based on my experience, I truly believe if any of these areas are out of balance, then all other areas will be affected. I know from personal experience as a breast cancer survivor that before I was diagnosed, my body was out of balance in all of these areas. Thanks to my Lord and Savior, I am here to help others through education and preventative healthcare.<br />
<br />
In this article, I will examine the first area which is the “physical” and will provide some great tips to help keep your body disease-free!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://xooma.com/products-our-premier-products.php" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-3YjoLC8g1aZ83pwZA7NTFrvyJsUnFf_35vJ9A3dfydjHJ2CeEsy-FV5jm7D_930Ok-QnDP8wyAnehtSED_b4WkBwnzZC-eJOy_XPcP952Td51sKY6-P3BZ3aM4_wci62Mutcvd5Py8E/s320/Cliffhangers_mountain_climber_by_wheelgenius-d3gwgfv.jpg" /></a></div>
“The” Physical. Usually we get a physical examination every year and walk out feeling pretty good about ourselves, as long as our blood work shows up WNL (within normal limits). Do you remember the show ‘The Price Is Right’ with Bob Barker and the game with the little mountain climber who makes it to the top of the mountain, only to often fall off and crash to his death? This is a great analogy of traditional medical testing.<br />
<br />
Usually by the time you are not “WNL” you are ready to have some type of medical intervention. This normally consists of a prescription or other invasive procedure(s) to rule out the presence of disease. Although I see the necessity of having regular medical checkups and treatment, I look at preventative healthcare as a way to catch the mountain climber <b>before</b> he gets to the top of the mountain in order to help him or her change direction.<br />
<br />
My version of ‘physical’ health consists of the following: detoxification internally, as well as externally through lifestyle modification, chiropractic care, nutritional supplementation, healthy dietary choices and proper hydration.<br />
<br />
Each of these areas is unique and serves its own purpose to help keep our bodies healthy from a physical standpoint. When looking at detoxification, many think of starving and making several trips to the bathroom. While certain detoxes will definitely cause these results, they may not be a healthy choice for you. Your body needs nutrition to support the phases of detoxification your liver must go through before toxins are released.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lastinglifestylechange.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NxaCM5fFQa49ENbPRiLG3XW8wOaFb5aW1v1shjc-rDuIwuV2wQ0mKY_FDGf_kcNC_cISNjWvooUEkQSS-W4DRwIVm9hBB1zapHdufRpWa-vJMlaTHwNrtsuNjx59bkZq4TR_aseG6UE/s320/s1160q75.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So why should we detoxify? Each year approximately 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment. These toxic chemicals can accumulate in your body and affect your overall health. Long-term exposure to even small amounts of these substances has been linked to ill health. Your body has the amazing ability under normal circumstances, to rid itself of harmful chemicals and pollutants. However, unhealthy diets lacking in proper nutrients, and the amount of toxins your body is exposed to, can overwhelm this process and toxins will accumulate in adipose (fat) or other tissues.<br />
<br />
This is why I always recommend a good annual detoxification program to help your body have a fresh start. I love yearly programs, but what good are they if you do not maintain detoxification on a regular basis? Your body reverts back to holding onto substances that can cause numerous health problems, especially if they are left unchecked only to accumulate until the next detoxification program.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://xooma.com/theoliveleaf/products-product-facts-about-water" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyVYjF0KFFRw05HWEK38ffDN1Mha6LXyVicVqNTLwUMqqKEO7xEqGpxg9h7uV9HES39aPDla-snn9W3XqZqWd8ZvmCbmNkWjIeBQYYJN1PmyjW6AlgkVncQvrYnbTx59EGcbzhW8qiz5k/s320/workout-girl-drinking-X2Owater.jpg" /></a>This is one of the primary reasons I love Xooma’s top-selling product: X2O™! By using X2O regularly, it’s the ideal way to continue this detoxification process all year long. Imagine every time you place that little sachet into your water that you are creating your own detoxification station! Drinking X2O daily is a wonderful way to keep the chemicals and irritants we are exposed to regularly flushed out of our bodies!<br />
<br />
Once the inside of the body is detoxified, I look at the external environment to make changes that we take for granted. I begin with our tap water. Xooma Members are very aware of the bombardment of chemicals when we drink tap water on a regular basis, but I take it one step further. I recommend shower and bath filtration (especially for babies). Many people are not aware that when chlorine heats up it turns into a gas, which we inhale primarily in the shower. This chlorine gas has been linked to lung cancer, stomach cancer, and other health conditions. I introduce all my patients to showerheads that have long-lasting filters…this is important because you can purchase a cheap showerhead from a store and spend more money on the filters (in just a few months) than on the showerhead itself.<br />
<br />
Another wonderful and amazing fact about X2O is that it actually neutralizes this harmful chemical (chlorine) from your tap water. I do not recommend drinking tap water on a regular basis, however it is acceptable to use when you do not have an option. The best way to save money and keep your water safe is to purchase a good water filtration container or a water filtration system, fill up your BPA-free & BPS-free Xooma bottle and use the X2O sachets. I always recommend this to my patients and carry them in my medical practice. By doing this I am not only helping my clients change their chemically laden tap water, but also helping them save money by not purchasing unregulated bottle water. So basically, I help others stay safe from the onslaught of plastic, and by adding X2O, enabling them to transform ‘dead’ water into ‘living’ water.<br />

Physical health also consists of exercise, which I like to call “FSA”, the acronym for “Fun Sweaty Activity.” Not only is regular exercise good for your cardiovascular system, it will also help with symptoms associated with occasional constipation, as well as improve overall digestive health and function. Regular physical activity gets you moving on the outside and helps your insides move out wastes that can store up in the body.<br />
<br />
I believe your “FSA” should be something you like to do instead of something you have to do. So I recommend doing whatever you like to do: biking, hiking, dancing, fitness DVDs and classes, rowing, running, swimming, sports, etc. Any recreational activity or fitness activity that will get you into motion at least 30 minutes 5 days a week (as long as your body can support this physically). I even have a program in my practice called ‘chair-a-cise’ and the entire workout is done in your chair with a DVD, so it’s possible for everyone to exercise, no matter what.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.lastinglifestylechange.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmy1Kdbn72t7qzcVh6xyYJ7fXQOf1K47Ziq3RaUOmX9AE7xoqssOFC36jCOv4xdkknUG9OdMoPkZIv6XTzL89jcqKZtDimd2Z7cRCv9WonrOlLcKFnppEfpbfFm9JPWrihMhuC_Kb2Juk/s200/Self-Assessment.jpg" width="200" /></a>When patients are needing supportive (such as ‘structural’) care, I always refer them to a Chiropractor. For those of you who have never been to one of these specialists, I highly recommend having a visit. Most people only think of Chiropractic care as a way to relieve pain (which is a wonderful side effect) of seeing a Chiropractor. I look at Chiropractic care as a way to maintain the function and integrity of your nervous system which has the beautiful job of connecting your brain to all the organs in your body. Keeping your body subluxation free with proper nerve flow to the organ systems is another foundational component of physical health.<br />
<br />
The final area of physical health consists of proper nutrition, high quality nutritional supplementation, and proper hydration. In my practice, I have many tests that determine food sensitivities, nutritional deficiency levels and even genetic testing to see which diet is the best for each individual. Once these are determined, I use this information to set up a personalized program to help patients reach optimal health. Very rarely do I encounter someone who is not deficient from a nutritional standpoint. This can be due to the intake of processed foods they are consuming, along with stress, lack of exercise, and dehydration, which all come into play when a person is physically out of balance.<br />
<br />

The foundation of my program always begins with X2O to keep people ultra-hydrated, mineralized and alkalized. With hydration being a key part of good physical health, X2O provides vital minerals your body needs that are in a highly bioavailable form.<br />
<br />
I also love the programs provided by Xooma Worldwide which cover many of today’s health concerns such as blood sugar balancing, weight management, energy enhancement and inflammatory control. Here are Xooma’s products that support each of these areas.<br />
<br />

For a full product package centered around naturally balancing blood sugar, the ‘Believe in Better’ pack is a powerful combination. It includes X2O, Assimilator™, Berry Balance and Omega 3/75™.<br />
<br />

Testimonies from Members around the world have shown that the MetaboWize System not only helped people lose weight but they have successfully kept it off for years.<br />
<br />

<br />

The key to success in a Naturopathic practice is to help your patients achieve real results.<br />
<br />

Water is an essential component of an efficient metabolism. In fact, without proper hydration, your body will find it next to impossible to produce enough energy to run your metabolic machinery. And a poor metabolism leads to low energy levels and increased body fat.</span><br />

Have you ever seen your skin under a microscope? Take a
magnifying glass and enter the magical world of ridges and valleys, of pores
with hairs and without, of discolorations and dry spots. They are all hardly
noticeable to the naked eye yet become intensified and almost a bit scary
looking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s hard to imagine you’re
looking at the largest organ of your body and think, “Is that what I look
like?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nah, gross</i>.”</div>

The skin is not just a cover. As a live and vitally important part of our bodies, it’s also our largest eliminatory organ. We eliminate toxins and waste through our perspiration, through dead skin follicles and also through our breath. But the most evidence of a dirty inner terrain or a troubled immune system is often visible on the skin. This can take
many forms:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>acne, regular pimples, dry patches, areas that put out intense sebum, areas that are reddened and puffy, areas where you get lots of black heads or little pus eruptions, or skin
discolorations in areas where we now know relate to specific organs.</div>

How to go about changing this?<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Edgar Cayce has this advice: for 3 days each month, choose different treatments that promote cleansing from the inside out. These cleansings can include colonics, high enemas, or careful diet, meaning these 3 days you eat very lightly and you may drink aloe juice or gel several times a day to help lubricate the intestinal tract. Obviously, you would drink clean X2O-infused water, ideally three to four bottles per day. You will remember that this lowers the surface tension of the water and will in fact allow your system to be more fully hydrated. That also means increased trips to the bathroom is normal and not a task to be underestimated, avoided or postponed. When you have the urge, go and eliminate. It has to come out of our regular channels, otherwise it will continue to show up on skin and other places. Sometimes,
especially in the beginning, this can result in odd smells and unpleasant odors, but take heart, it gets better. Keep drinking and flushing your cells. Hiding under the umbrella of denial or personal embarrassment is not making you
healthy.</div>

Our faces and other areas of the body, for those who can read the language, speak volumes of how well we are inside our bodies, and if we are undergoing some serious setbacks or health challenges. While women regularly mask such signs with makeup, there is no denying that naturally radiant skin and a warm healthy glow are the landmarks of great health that speak louder than words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you come to this result naturally or have to work at it, it is a beautiful and necessary step to complete health and high quality of life.
When you look at what’s considered attractive, you will observe how highly people with good skin are favored and noticed, even if they’re otherwise unremarkable looking in today’s strict landscape of what some believe defines “beautiful”.<br />
<br />
Having said that, we all know people who have been plagued and challenged with skin blemishes and disturbances that make them unhappy and often send them from one medical office to another. Sometimes it’s a problem of diet, sometimes of hormones, sometimes it’s due to allergies, and sometimes we’re from families who are not favored with healthy skin. Always though, we can choose what we do about it.
In this article I would like to share some of the principles underlying healthy skin and how you can attain a glow that radiates well-being. We’re going to cover cleansing, detoxing, diet, hydration, healthy elimination through kidneys and intestines, through proper sweating, exercise, and movement in fresh air.<br />
<br />
What really works for the skin is the continued practice of a lifestyle that is consistent with a happy and productive existence, allowing and fostering personal expression and appreciation of the world and ourselves as at least one of the cornerstones. Even if other things are not great in your life, you can pull it together and make your body as healthy as you are able - inside and out. You can choose (many of us do that often), by comparing ourselves with others, how you want to live, how you want to be seen and how you choose to see yourself.<br />
<br />
A ‘victim mode’ is not conducive to this path, so let’s see how we can collectively snap out of any doldrums and self-sabotaging habits, whether we think they affect our skin or not.
A high level of well-being is our birthright and nobody and nothing can take that away from us. Short of being a prisoner, we have choices and options that involve our making good decisions and then following-through with them. It begins with having self-worth and an open heart & mind – all of which when practiced will result in greater personal peace and self confidence. Even if you don’t have a job right at the moment or are at a crossroads in your life, you always have dominion over your thoughts and your body. We each deserve to find that inner space that offers us strength to keep going and the certainty that we are valued. When we value ourselves (not in an egotistical sense), we increase our radiance, our beauty and our self-confidence.<br />
<br />
Everything we do with this in place is augmented and enhanced, as a result.
Sometimes it’s easy to moan that “it’s too hard.” But by giving up, we lose in the end. Having said that, we know that nobody gets to their own growth unless and until they are willing to make that decision and choose such a lifestyle. Many are the examples we read about, be it weight loss, recovery from an illness, recovering from an accident or emotional trauma such as divorce, loss of a job, or the loss of a loved one. All these examples are among the most stressful events, and clearly, they do affect our skin, and really our wellbeing at the deepest core.
So you can benefit by doing the work now, when you’re well and you’re healthy. Then, should something happen, you can draw from your native strength and bring to bear your innate power to remedy any situation and make it work for you.
They do say that beauty is an “inside job” and it couldn’t be more true. So let’s take a look at what that means for you on the basis of most skin issues:<br />

through the bowels and through the kidneys. You induce sweat easily in summer,
and during the cooler seasons you could use a sauna followed by a cold dip in
clean water. Or you can take hot and cold showers: 1 minute as hot as you can
stand it, then1 minute as cold as you can. Not the easiest practice but it’s
well worth it. This lateral ‘massage’ deepens your circulation, eliminates
toxins from under the skin and is very refreshing. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dry skin brushing</b>
is an essential way to increase circulation and to move your lymphatic system
out of sluggishness. Begin at the feet, soles too, and brush your legs with a
good body brush, in upward strokes towards your groin, go circular around your
buttocks and gently around your belly, leave out the private parts and nipples,
and move up your torso to your neck and shoulders. Begin again at the palms of
your hands and brush up your arms toward your heart. Do this gently and firmly,
skin will turn red and lots of dead skin will come off. That’s why it’s best to
do right before a shower or bath. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Your feet</b> are an
important part of your well-being. After brushing them, check for hard spots and
callouses. For skin build-up, take a special foot file or a pumice stone and
rub it off as often as possible. Make sure you wear shoes that fit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if you tend to have smelly feet, you may
wish to put a drop of a pure essential oil (your choice of oil) into your shoes
before wearing them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Incidentally, if you are one of those hardy sneaker wearers,
please take off your shoes and socks once you get home and let your feet
breathe. They need it as much as the rest of you. A foot bath with a bit of
apple cider vinegar is often helpful and loosens hardened skin on the feet with
ease. You can actually rub it off after about 15 minutes in medium hot water.
Once they’re dried, apply some nice lotion (Ellagiderm Cream is a great choice)
to help keep the skin soft.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many ways that make this a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">sensory journey</b> to be enjoyed. Light nice beeswax candles, play
relaxing music and if you like, use a dab of your favorite essential oil. Lavender
is a favorite, that you can scent your bathroom with, add a couple of drops to
your washcloth or dribble into your bathwater. All this is meant to be a
celebration of your skin and body, and its importance to your beautiful Self.</div>

And during the times when you’re challenged, whether it’s a
cold sore outbreak because perhaps you had too much stress, or you experience a
cleansing reaction, our Xooma products can help you along to ease the journey
and keep you safe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Silver MAX to the
rescue</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most notably among the creams and gels, we have Silver MAX
gel with its homeopathic component, which is very useful for fever blisters or
genital herpes, especially when you first notice the ‘aura’ that is common
before outbreaks. Apply a liberal amount of gel all over the skin areas where
you feel that unique tingly sensation that sometimes also feels as if the flu
is coming on. Do this at least twice a day. Internally, you can take the Silver
MAX liquid under the tongue on an empty stomach twice a day and let is absorb
for 30 seconds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you break out in hives or acne, or have other pimply
effusions, cleanse it, apply a hot wash cloth well wrung out, then first use
the Silver MAX liquid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once that’s
dried, apply the Silver MAX gel. The warmth brings toxins to the surface and
opens the pores for better reception of the silver. You can do this also for
bleeding hemorrhoids or vaginal soreness. While it’s not a topic we openly
discuss, Silver MAX can bring great relief.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Silver MAX gel and Silver MAX liquid are both very effective
cleansers for challenged skin. Several members use these products for cleansing
on a daily basis. I would reserve them for when there are challenging areas
with the skin, as there is an acid mantle on the skin that naturally defends
its balance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you use soaps, make sure they’re natural and don’t
contain mineral or baby oil.<b> </b>There are some very nice olive oil-based soaps. I also
recently began using Shea butter soap that has a rich scent, very sensual and
soothing. When using creams, just make sure that you cleanse your face nightly,
using a toner to re-balance the skin’s natural pH, which is closer to 5.3 or
5.5. So you want to choose creams that are at that level or a bit lower,
especially if you are keen on efficacy.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the unsung heroes in Xooma’s magical product line is
the Ellagiderm Cream. It’s been constantly improved over the years and now has
many beneficial applications. Whether you have an insect bite or bee sting, a
just-squeezed pimple, or if there are abrasions and possibly suspected damaged
skin cells, the Ellagiderm cream is a cooling, soothing and therapeutic
application. If you don’t already own a bottle, get it. I firmly believe it
belongs in everyone’s medicine chest and first aid kit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a lot of research behind this product, stemming
from way, way back, when Ellagic Acid was first looked at as a highly potent
cancer fighter. Ellagiderm Cream is something that travels with me, right along

It is a
balancing cream with natural progesterone that nurtures and soothes your skin,
no matter where you apply it. Used on the face, you can use it three days in a row
and then switch to other body parts. If you have PMS or there is a tension
headache stemming from your days, apply a small amount to your neck or
forehead, at your temples and belly to areas that are sore, giving it some much
needed TLC. Touch gently and rub it on in a clockwise circular motion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">An example of the
skin’s role in elimination</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many years ago it was very common for older women to have
‘open sores’ on their legs. I have witnessed this in my own practice, and it’s
not a pretty picture. There was a teaching in the holistic community that such
leg ulcers and sores come from a very dirty colon, having the legs act as a
third colon. Depending on where they are, you can have a lymphatic system that
is clogged and compromised leading to dirty blood. The body then desperately
tries to exude and get rid of, and a digestive tract – including the liver –
that are sub-functional in the elimination of waste and toxins. The amount of
acceptance around this issue, as something that “just happens,” is frustrating.
It’s not until the 1960’s when Scandinavian researchers and doctors came out
with the acid/alkaline balance and how we can affect our wellbeing by observing
better eating habits. The shame and embarrassment around waste matter and the
under-functioning digestive tract, leading to poor elimination, was the cause
for many people’s suffering either in silence or a denial, all with the polite,
secret acceptance of these horrible and painful leg ulcerations which often
made sleep hard and outings near impossible. This is a small part of a much
larger discussion on skin and its connection to our well-being.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In closing, I want to encourage you to think ‘outside the
box’. There are ways to think about ourselves that allow new ideas and insights
to emerge, whether in the field of health or in other areas of your life.
Knowing what works for you is always your best defense and being open to input
and new ideas can give us such a greater quality of life.<br />

Here's Why<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.metabowize.com/lpk" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSo37ZbhViqgvElOavhGnMlTecsrOk3ydauU-Yx4XRJaWQUDfhYBcDcKFH4_9kMhvmkRaNOHgA9jA06H64PMdJYhWrYKkEwvL_bDgcW2jdL5hbN5mcOOqe3PC2tF71bThc_EYArp76XVc/s1600/HLW2014b.jpg" height="400" width="303" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Not losing weight? </b><i>Perhaps you're doing it all wrong</i>...<br />
<br />
Did you know you should<b> drink more water</b> - not drink less - when you are trying to lose weight? Here's why:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Water isn't just "good for you" — water <b>burns fat</b>. Water <b>suppresses hunger</b>.
Water renews your skin. Just drinking 12 ounces of pure water every day
can take a few years off your face in a matter of weeks. You'll also
drop fat, have more energy, and save your kidneys and liver from chronic
overwork.
</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When your kidneys are taxed from too little water, your <b>liver has to take over</b>. Now, get this: Your liver is your <b>number one fat-burning organ</b>.
Do you REALLY want it processing liquids and toxins rather than BURNING
FAT? No way, right? Well, grab a glass of water, and watch the mirror.
Within a few weeks, the change to your face and body will be noticeable. (Excerpt from http://oldschoolnewbody.com/5steps/)<br />
<a name='more'></a></blockquote>
<u>Water is critical to your good health</u>. Your body is approximately <b>70% water</b>.
Your muscles, skin, and vital organs all contain and need large
amounts of water for optimal health. The most critical fluid in your
body, <i>your blood</i>, is mostly water. Water also transports
oxygen to your cells, delivers nutrients, removes waste, and provides
energy to the body. So staying hydrated is paramount to good health.<br />
<br />
<div class="contents">
Your body loses approx. 2.5 liters of water every day just through
normal bodily functions. You lose water through urination, respiration,
and perspiration. If you are physically active or athletic, you lose
even more water. Although "thirst" is an obvious sign of dehydration,
the TRUTH is your body is in need of water long before you feel thirsty.
</div>
<div class="contents">
<br />
<u>Symptoms of mild dehydration</u> include chronic pains in joints and
muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation. A strong odor to
your urine, along with a yellow or amber color indicates that you are
<u>not getting enough water</u>.
<br />
<br />
So in mathematical formula terms: <b> Hydration + Alkalinity = Good Health!</b></div>
<div class="contents">
<br /></div>
<div class="contents">
The best source of alkalinity for your drinking water that we've found is from <a href="http://yx2o.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Xooma's X2O</b></a>.

According to a recent study conducted by the American Psychological
Association(APA), one-third of Americans are living with extreme stress
and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) report that their stress has
increased substantially over the past five years. In this fast-paced,
“multi-tasking” world we live in today, stress is taking a toll on all
of us…contributing to health problems, lack of energy, and difficulty
keeping mental focus and concentration.<br />
<br />
<br />
As a
result, tens of millions of people are turning to energy drinks and
energy shots as a means to obtain that “get-up-and-go” mentality which
is critical to keep up with today’s demands. <br />
<br />
<span class="photo photo_right"></span>Unfortunately,
the majority of these popular energy drinks are packed with
sugar,artificial colors and flavors and unhealthy stimulants. They give
youa temporary boost of energy only to leave you “crashing” a few hours
later. When consumed regularly, these beverages can take a negative
toll on our body. <br />
<br />
<b>The“Fab Four”:</b><br />
There
are several unique and powerful nutrients that improve brain function at
every age. Here, you’ll learn about four nutritional ingredients you
can use to improve your ability to meet each day’s multiple challenges.
These are also the same ingredients that you’ll find inthe world’s first
“pure energy think drink” by Xooma –<b>FocusUP</b>. <br />
<br />
<b><span class="photo photo_left"></span>Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Pure Energy In A Bottle</b><br />
Scientific
studies have found that acetyl-L-carnitine improves memory, mental
energy, and cognitive ability. It does so by promoting better function
of <i>mitochondria, </i>the “engines” that create energy within brain cells. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Each one of your trillions of body cells contains microscopic organs called <i>organelles.</i>
Mitochondria are sausage-shaped organelles that transform carbohydrates
and fats into energy, “burning” fuel to create ATP—the universal energy
currency of living things. Tissues with high energy needs contain lots
of mitochondria: one-third of the heart, for example, is composed of
mitochondria, and each brain cell contains thousands of them.
Acetyl-L-carnitine is instrumental in both maintaining the organelles
themselves and in the production of the cellular energy needed to
maintain sharp, clear thinking and physical and mental energy.<br />
<br />
<br />
This
nutrient stimulates the growth of new, healthy brain cells and acts as
an antioxidant, protecting existing brain cells against the ravages of
oxidation (a process known to strongly affect brain aging and function).
It enhances the production of the neurotransmitter <i>acetylcholine</i>, which is instrumental for learning and memory, by speeding up the neurons’ ability to move the nutrient <i>choline</i> to where it can be combined with acetyl-coA to make acetylcholine. This enables faster, more efficient nervous system function.<br />
<br />
<br />
In
experiments where acetyl-L-carnitine is administered to aging animals,
the animals behave, in every way, like much younger animals, with
doubling of activity levels and improved performance on cognitive tests.
Under the microscope, researchers have documented that mitochondrial
function actually improves with an infusion of this nutrient. Human
studies show improvements on tests of memory, attention, and verbal
fluency with this nutrient. <br />
<br />
<b><span class="photo photo_left"></span>Green Tea: Superlative Neuroprotector</b><br />
In
parts of the world where green tea is consumed regularly, incidence of
cancer and heart disease is lower. Growing evidence suggests that the
protective benefits of green tea extend to prevention of
neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.<br />
<br />
Green tea is loaded with <i>polyphenols</i>,<i> catechins,</i> and <i>flavonols,</i>
which are some of the most broad-spectrum, effective antioxidants known
to man. Green tea polyphenols have been found to prevent the death of
brain cells (neurons) in a wide array of cellular and animal models of
neurological diseases. These polyphenols are <i>neuroprotective,</i>
with some studies finding that they can rescue neurons in peril from
free radical stress and inflammation. Green tea polyphenols appear to
reduce free radical damage to brain cells through several mechanisms: by
chelating iron (binding to excess iron, which accelerates oxidation,
and moving it out of the body), binding to and neutralizing damaging
free radicals, and reducing inflammation. <br />
<br />
<i><b><span class="photo photo_right"></span>Rhodiola rosea: </b></i><b>Adaptogenic Enhancer</b><br />
The adaptogenic herb <i>Rhodiola rosea</i> has been used medicinally for centuries in Europe and Asia. Like other adaptogens, <i>Rhodiola</i>
balances the functioning of the immune, endocrine (hormonal),
metabolic, and nervous systems, promoting improved mental performance,
energy and stamina. Decades’ worth of scientific investigation has been
done on this herb, and it’s no surprise that with this level of
validation, <i>Rhodiola</i> remains a favorite in many nutritionally oriented physicians’ offices.<br />
<br />
This
herb demonstrates a remarkable ability to enhance cellular energy
metabolism. Studies published thus far show that this herb benefits
physical and mental performance, mental energy, and resistance to
fatigue, particularly during periods of stress. It protects the nervous
system against oxidative damage and promotes balance of the
neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin, especially in
aging people. <br />

Fish
are rich in this nutrient, which helps explain why it’s widely touted
as “brain food.” DMAE is one of the best-researched brain-boosting
nutrients available; research studies on DMAE date back four decades. It
raises levels of the amino acid choline in the brain, which in turn
increases the brain’s ability to produce acetylcholine. The result: an
increase in focus, concentration, and memory. Short-term studies have
demonstrated improvements in alertness, vigilance, attention span,
concentration, and academic and learning performance. DMAE has also been
found to improve mood, mental energy, and reaction speed.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

If
you purchased these high quality ingredients individually, you’d spend a
substantial amount of money and be forced to swallow numerous pills on a
daily basis to get those clinical dosage levels. However, Xooma makes
it very easy to get these powerful ingredients and their benefits in our
refreshing, great tasting energy drink, <b>FocusUP </b>(also available in capsule form). Best of all, FocusUP<u> costs LESS </u>than those unhealthy energy drinks and shots and delivers REAL health benefits to the body and brain. <br />

Just think about what it's doing to your body. All that acid! No wonder we've had so many health problems and diseases since these highly addictive beverages were created.<br />

It's so disturbing to think that as much proof that we have about the dangers of soda, the soda industry still makes billions of dollars around the world selling these harmful drinks to consumers. What's sad is how so many people get addicted to them but won't liken the addiction to other harmful products (like tobacco, for instance).<br />
<br />
Here's what happens within an hour of consuming soda:<br />

There's still much work to do to reach out to families who might not be able to obtain the latest health reports concerning sodas, the dangerous chemicals found in them, and the long-term effects of consuming these products.<br />
<br />
There needs to be more choices made available to everyone. These choices should also not be too cost prohibitive for lower income families who when faced with the choice between a USD $1.00 menu soda and a USD $2 or USD $3 all-natural, preservative-free drink, won't hesitate to choose the healthier alternative.<br />
<br />
Many natural health food/supplement companies are now offering a lot more healthier and affordable alternatives. A wellness company called <a href="http://www.xoomaworldwide.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Xooma Worldwide</a> offers drink products such as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000X1XP5I/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000X1XP5I&linkCode=am2&tag=liggyzdreamz-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Xtreme X2O</a> (mineral sachets which you add to water), <a href="http://www.xoomablast.info/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Xooma Blast</a> (natural fruit/vegetable flavoring with a high ORAC value and low-glycemic value content), and a natural energy and brain support drink mix called <a href="http://www.focusup.com/diamondhead" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">FocusUP</a>. These alternatives cost between $1 to $2 per day only and when used regularly, help support a healthy immune system (helping reduce costly doctor's visits and prescription medication). <br />
<br />
In the meantime, educating the public, spreading the word about the dangers of choosing sodas over nature-based, healthy alternatives is most critical. And that is part of the reason why our Natural Health Search team is working hard to to keep you informed through this blog. <br />

Those of us who grew up watching Bugs Bunny cartoons should've paid attention to his eating habits and copied at least one habit - his fondness for carrots! Carrots are high in beta carotene, carotenoids, Vitamin B2, B6, C, E, K, dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, folate, and phosphorus. <br />
<br />
All these nutrients help protect the body against free radicals, improve heart and dental health, cleanse the liver, strengthen the immune system, nourish the skin, and protect the eyes. Liggybeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721349582740669975noreply@blogger.com0
