Fall cleaning


Have you ever had a problem with elimination before? Some people experience it all of the time as it has become a part of their life, and some people have it occasionally, and many othershave it only with certain foods or too much stress.

The first thing most people do is run for the laxative bottle, and as these have their place for that quick fix, they also can be extremely habit forming and you can get hooked on them very easily. When a person who has a sluggish bowel uses a laxative and suddenly is moving the correct way starts to feel better than they have in a long while,they may decide to stay on them and soon after are relying on the laxative and cannot do very much without it. This dependency is very common and is something a lot of people do not talk about freely, but they should as colon cancer is on the rise monthly.

The pharmaceutical companies are sitting back and enjoying great profits as more and more people eat tons of low quality food, are getting more plugged up by the day.Every year the pharmaceutical companies introduce more and more products to the market for just this purpose of satisfying the quick fix.As long as we keep doing this to ourselves and buying the quick fix products they will continue to make them, What we need to do is get to the cause of the problem,our diet.

First of all nothing against laxatives, they have been able to relieve many people of pain and constipation and impactions that may have caused major problems had they not been available. Although they are good for a quick fix ,try to keep them in their correct place, they are a temporary bandaid and should be used for just that purpose.

This is the easiest thing to remember. First, if you have frequent constipation lets first look to your diet, it is always one of a few different things. Lack of water, lack of fiber,over consumption of sugar and carbohydrates,drinking too many dehydrating beverages like coffee and sodas and lack of vegetables in the diet. By just changing a few of these things miracles can begin to happen.Next by adding supplemental fiber like psyllium and or ground flax seeds and flax seed oil, let's say to cereal or oatmeal or a protein shake can make a drastic difference in just a few days. You might also increase vegetable consumption, and start forcing water into the daily routine.

If the problem has been going on for quite a while, a cleanse is needed to clean up weeks, months and years of build up in the intestines, which have made you tired, irritable, bloated, damaged you absorption capabilities and affected your skin, hair, nails. This long term problem could also affectyour sleep, your immune system,your breath,cause body odor and affect your mental focus. This is just a partial list, but enough to scare you to start cleansing as soon as possible.

There are many cleanses on the market, but I choose Nature's Secret Ultimate cleanse, why,because it works and does the job quickly and effectively. You can stay on it for as little as a month or as long as a year for chronic problems. It not only cleanses you but it starts to re-train the intestines and lets your digestive system do its job. So many people out there with gastric disturbances like gas, bloating and chronic heart burn and who are on the prescription purple pill would do well to do this cleanse. You have no idea how many people have stopped having to us the prescription because what they really needed was a good flushing and cleansing, not the purple pill cover up. I also start them on the Ergozymes, a digestive enzyme to help you do what your digestive system used to do but does not anymore. Basically turning back the digestive clock to a time thatwas much better and healthier.

So,to summarize; eat more vegetables, drink more water, cut out the garbage, and add the Nature's Secret Ultimate cleanse and the Ergozymes and feel they way you used to when you could digest and get the nutrients from your food. Think of it this way, if you do not digest your food, you cannot get vitamins and minerals into the body to benefit and build healthy cells, which means you may not digest your supplements either! It would be like putting twenty gallons of gas in your car and only using 5 gallons of every fill up and the rest drains out,not so good. So be in charge of your digestive system, do a cleanse, re- train the system and let yourself eliminate correctly so you can rebuild cells, and get of all of those synthetic quick laxative fixes.

Healthy gums


Did you know that gum disease and bleeding gums can be slowed down and or fixed with the proper nutrition and the correct toothpaste and mouthwash.

When you finally drag yourself to the Dentist, and he or she tells you your gums and your teeth are a disaster, do not jump into the periodontal Doctors chair too quickly. Many times they will choose to cut away gum tissue, that for your information does not grow back, and the you end up going through a painstaking series of scrapings that may or MAY NOT be needed.

At the first tell tale of gum disease, make an appointment for 3 months and then go right to your health food store and pick up a few things. Pick up the highest quality timed released C-complex vitamin C, and start taking about 4000-6000mg per day. Also pick up some Co enzyme Q-10,and use a dosage of 200mg and also 200mg of Pycnogenol per day.

The next and most important is to pick up a toothpaste and mouthwash called Vitamyr. This is an incredible line of products that contain Zinc, Myrr, Folic acid and clove. It contains no sugars, no alcohol,no preservatives and no artificial sweeteners. It was invented to cure and heal the gums of an individual who was told there was no hope. Wonderful things are created out of desperation.


Use this product along with your nutrition to combat gum disease, ease gum swelling and inflammation and bleeding, as well as pain and general soreness.If you wear a plate you can still brush your gums to keep them healthy so you do not lose precious gum tissue, because without the gums the plate would have no where to rest.

Remember, you would not plant a thirty foot tree in the sand, it has nothing to grip and to hold it in place, so if your gums are red and unhealthy and swollen how can they keep your teeth in place firmly, they can't. Loose teeth equals, dentures, infection and expensive Dentist bills. Remember you should also find an incredible Dentist that knows nutrition like mine, Dr, James Wright, Four Season Dental Spa. If you are in the Las Vegas area call them, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee they help you achieve a beautiful as well as a HEALTHY smile.

Rainy days and our moods





Today was actually a rainy day in Las Vegas. We do not get very much rain, but we need it so no matter how much people complain about it, I just tell them to chill out and enjoy the washing away of all of the dirt and to enjoy the fresh air it leaves behind.

The weird thing about rain in this city,if you are not working and you can enjoy it, sit outside under an awning or on a front porch, it is the most beautiful thing. Today we actually had a double rainbow, it was so beautiful, I do not think I have ever saw a rainbow so vibrant and full of color.

But that same relaxed beautiful moment if you are working or commuting or traveling or working in it becomes the ugliest, nastiest thing in the world. Many people have an ugly and mean personality that comes out and they get stressed out, nervous, edgy, and ready to pronounce road rage at the drop of a pin.

I just think it is funny that one event can cause two completely different emotions without itself changing at all.The only thing that has changed is the actual location of the person and what they are doing at the time. I guess we should all be able to plan these wonderful events so we are in places where we can enjoy the beauty, rather than driving in it and having it turn ugly.We should also face the fact that many people cannot and should not drive in the rain , this may be the reason it puts the world on edge.

Well, I want to say, I was able to enjoy it, and if you were not, the picture will give you a rough idea of how beautiful it really was. Everyone was so mellow, it was like rainbow xanax, now that is something we should be able to bottle.

I see you clearly


So I just returned from a round trip turn around to Los Angeles from Las Vegas. This is always a good way of testing my energy nutrients, and how sore I am when I arrive on both ends of the trip, also how I feel when I get back home when it is over.So I figured I have this long turn around trip, lets see how this body is holding up.

Over the last few years I have started to do the arm extension label newspaper reading pose as my eyes have adjusted to being 39 years old yet again this year. I use eye nutrients and vary the dosage depending on how things are going. Over the last few months I have been doing triple time on the computer and have increased the dosage. Today was a great test as the oncoming headlights did not bother me, and my eyes were not tired and sore. A wonderful piece of feedback for anyone that is having the 39 year old eye changes, or if you have cataracts or glaucoma or macular degeneration. Also if you have ever had eye surgery you are a candidate for eye nutrients.

I could give you a list of about 10 things to use for your eyes, or I could just recommend Ocular, it has it all and it is complete and nothing for the eyes is missing. It makes eye nutrition easy and perfectly balanced, you just have to kick your memory in gear to remind you to take them every day, but that is another article.

So do a few things for your eyes, take ocular, eat a lot of green vegetables, and read a book, use them and make them stronger, remember if you don't use em, you lose em!!!

Time, what we want more of but cannot have


Time, the one thing we cannot put in a tablet, yet it is the one thing we are always trying to get more of. I am amazed sometimes how fast it goes, I mean we have the same twenty four hours our parents and their parents had, but still we never have enough.This little stallion in the picture is almost 2 years old already, and I can remember the day he was born and it seems like yesterday, where does the time go?

We are living in a time of fast everything that is supposed to make our lives easier. Fast banking, online check paying, on line shopping, fast food, fast travel, even speed dating for people that need to meet someone really fast! Yet we are always still moving so fast that we still never get caught up.I have figured out the time involved in on line shopping for those people that can spend an entire day at the mall, the still do that time stretch, but it is in front of the computer. No time saved here, just gas!

Did you ever notice that when you go on vacation you need three days just to chill, and then two more to get you totally relaxed and feeling great, and then it is time to go back home and back to work. Then you are back in the fast pace again and it is like you never left. It is so crazy, and when you finally get to the stage in your life when slowing down is mentally and Economically feasible, you are either too old, too sick, or too crippled to enjoy it.

Moral of this depressing story. Life is short so take care of yourself. Do not keep putting off those things to make yourself healthier because you will never get to them, and I mean never no matter how incredible your intentions.Just remember we are already nearing New Years Eve, so you can once again state the things you were going to do this year, and will most likely not get to next year either. So enjoy life, make it easier for yourself, try to work smarter not harder, get better rest and once again, Smell the roses do not step on them! And of course, take your supplements daily.

Do your pets travel well?


These two adorable little girls are going to Canada on Wednesday, and that will be there new home. They will be flying out of Los Angeles, and will be crated, so will soon see how well they will handle traveling.

Although they are only 6 weeks old, many dogs do travel well. I think it really depends on the breed, some are great in the car, but some have plane and train problems. For every hundred dogs that travel maybe five or six do not like it, or get sick. Although this is a small percentage, for the humans whose animals these are, it is a big thing! But never fear, nutrition can help and has a high percentage of success, with no side effects.

A few hints for you as to what to do if you have pets that do not travel well. You will know this because the first time you go anywhere by car your animal can show nervousness. irritablity, crying, and get upset stomachs which is bowel reflective.

I am happy to say that about 75% of animals travel very well and many look forward to being with you and going new places. You will never know if you need to look to nutrition for travel and motion sickness until you go on your first trip. A helpful tip would be to start with small, short trips, maybe to the park ,before exposing your animals to a long trip.

If you decide to work nutritionally and you dog has a tendency to get queasy, you should try ginger capsules or fresh ginger in some yogurt an hour before a trip, it actually works like a natural Dramamine. If your animal gets nervous and cannot settle down try some valarian liquid or capsules, passion flower or chamomile, as they will work like natural relaxants. You can also add liquid calcium or powdered minerals to their diet daily like the pet Mezotrace to help with relaxing the muscles so they can sometimes just fall asleep.These minerals also strengthen their bones and teeth and help older dogs with arthritis.

It is a wonderful thing to be able to travel and go places with our best friends, but it is also a much better feeling to know that they can be helped if for any reason it makes them uncomfortable or sick to travel.

One more thing, the same things we talked about for pets, works for humans too, as many people get travel sickness.

Had your veggies today?


This is a question that is not only gaining speed with parents and their kids, but the question the parents should be asking themselves. With diets in American being created for the microwave and for quick fixing on the stove and freezer, and all of the ingredients pre made and pre cut, most of us are not even close to the 5-8 servings we need everyday of healthy vegetables.

I have asked so many people over the years about their vegetable intake, and very few will say I have vegetables every day. Some try to see if the lettuce on the fast food burger or the catsup they dip their french fries in count, unbelievable but true.

I thought I would go over some choices for green vegetables to make it easy, and with this huge selection you should be able to find some winners, for you.

Green vegetables contain varying amounts of phytochemicals like vitamin C, flavinoids and carotenoids.The cabbage and broccoli group also contain indoles and sulfer nutrients that are strong antioxidents. Also B vitamins,Vitamin K,and minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

A partial list would be peas, broccoli, cabbage, green leaf and romaine lettuce, the many styles and forms of green beans,cucumbers, celery, all green leafy greens, as well as all of the Asian greens, I also add zucchini and brussel sprouts. There are many more but this should be enough for you to find the ones you like.

If you have a problem with vegetables after trying all of them, for whatever reason, keep in mind the greens do come in capsules, tablets and powder formuls. Although wonderful and concentrated from the best nutrients available, they do not carry the fiber you would be getting if you ate them, but they do contain the nutrients. The best thing would be to eat vegetables as often as you can, and take the greens to fill during times when you do not get enough, I like doing both. Remember if you do decide to ad a green supplement, add only the highest quality and be very very choosey as to where you purchase it.

Remember, eating greens does so much for the body we take for granted like:

1) Helping the immune system work more effectively
2) Hlps to provide for a healthy nervous system
3) Fighting infection
4) Providing absorbable iron for the cells
5) Helping with proper blood clotting
6) Stimulating and maintaining our healthy digestive systems- contolling body odor and
bad breath.
7) Building healthy bones and teeth, and helping to produce healthy red blood cells

So the next time you decide to skimp on your veggies, realize that you are skipping on the basic building blocks for all the cells of your body, and you will eventually pay the ultimate price in the form of ill health, so, eat your greens
