Did you know that nearly everyone (statistically over 99% of us!) are deficient in vital Omega 3’s?

Omega fatty acids are a crucial component of life, yet our SAD (Standard American Diet) barely has any. Your brain, for example, is 70% fatty acids – without Omega fatty acids, your brain dehydrates.

Research suggests that Omega-3’s play a major role in combating most chronic illnesses, like depression, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, dementia, autism, ADHD, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.

As a food-smart, nutrition-minded individual, you’ve probably been supplementing with fish oil for years. The latest research though, is frightening in its findings:

Fish-source Omega-3 can be dangerously high in Mercury!

According to a recent article in the NY Times, a sampling of tuna sushi from 20 restaurants and stores all had measurable levels of Mercury. In some of the restaurants, the level was so high, that just 6 pieces of sushi exceeded the “safe limit” set by EPA.

As even a negligible trace amount of Mercury can be highly dangerous, particularly to the brain, this is a matter of high importance to everyone.

That is why we have made the dramatic move to go totally “vegan” and non-seafood in our source of Omega-3 rich oils in our Omega 3/6/9 formula!

This new upgraded Omega fatty acid formula is a perfect blend of all the Omega’s needed by the body. And, it even has a higher quantity of Omega 3 compared to our previous fish-oil formula.

There’s no possibility of Mercury contamination, as the Omega’s come from Flax Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil and vegetable oils of the highest possible purity and strength.

John Cannell, MD - Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council

I happened to turn on the radio Sunday morning and I instantly recognized the voice. Being interviewed was John Cannell, MD, Executive Director of the Vitamin D Council, the foremost authority on vitamin D worldwide.

He was participating in a talk show interview with Katherine Albrecht, sharing amazing statistics, facts and insights into vitamin D deficiency. For example, did you know that 99+% of all pregnant women in America are deficient in vitamin D?

Do you know someone who is pregnant and about to have a child? Or at the other end of the life spectrum, do you know someone showing the initial signs of Alzheimer’s?

There’s a common link to both these totally diverse conditions: Vitamin D-3!

Vitamin D-3 is absolutely critical to a fetus’ development during pregnancy, and also lowers pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and infection. According to a new research study by the Medical University of South Carolina, women who take 4,000 IU of vitamin D-3 daily in their second and third trimesters had one-half the incidence of pregnancy-related complications compared to women who took 400 IU of vitamin D every day, says neonatologist and study co-researcher Carol L. Wagner.

Vitamin D-3 also is beneficial for individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s, playing a role of helping to clear amyloid beta proteins which form the plaques that lead to Alzheimer’s.

For years you’ve heard me talk excitedly about about Curcumin, the ultra-powerful antioxidant compound from the Turmeric root, and how it shows promise in breaking down these plaques, well just last week scientists at UCLA and UC Riverside published their research findings in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease showing that combining Vitamin D and Curcumin for Alzheimer’s patients, may work better than either compound alone.

“We hope that vitamin D3 and curcumin, both naturally occurring nutrients, may offer new preventive and treatment possibilities for Alzheimer’s disease,” said Dr. Milan Fiala, study author and a researcher at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System.

The team discovered that curcuminoids enhanced the surface binding of amyloid beta to macrophages and that vitamin D strongly stimulated the uptake and absorption of amyloid beta in macrophages in a majority of patients.

Every day is special to me. Simple things like watching the sun come up over the mountains in the morning still takes my breath away.

Today is extra special! A wonderful, close friend and I think one of the greatest walking, talking encyclopedia on all matters dealing with natural medicine and health, has agreed to join our team.

We go “way, way back”, to when I first came to America and started out in the little town of Ogden, Utah, over 22 years ago. We met at a true gem of a health food store called Bright Day Health Foods, run by an angel and true missionary of health and healing, Bessie Shafer.

Greg Ashby - Health & Nutrition Coach

I had lunch there every single day, the food was just fabulous. The manager of the store was a dead-ringer for Randy Johnson, the major league baseball pitcher, and I wondered, “what is he doing working in a health food store?”

He sure knew his stuff and day by day, lunch by lunch, we became close friends and confidantes. He is a wealth of information and helped guide me in my own quest for health and recovery from cancer, Greg literally knew the background on the herbs, vitamins and minerals in every single bottle in the store.

We’ve stayed in close contact over the ensuring 22 years and now it is a truly moving event for Dale, Laura and me to welcome Greg to the team. We know you will find him to be a superb source of information and help with any of your health and healing questions and also all of our formulas.

In fact, Greg is the genius behind our new Age-Less Rx formula, featuring his favorite “adaptogenic” herb, Holy Basil, for its anti-stress and anti-inflammatory properties.

And he’s working on several more formulas with us as well!

Greg will also be writing articles for our newsletter and website, available for nutritional, health & lifestyle coaching, and occasionally answering our sales line.

So give the Baghwan of Betterment, the Maestro of Magnificent Health, “Guru Greg” a call now, toll-free at 877-975-9080 x307 or send an email.

“Look after yourself because no one else but GOD will.” (And now also Greg!)

If you listen to all the Lipitor drug ads, fighting cholesterol is all it takes to fight heart disease. “NOT SO” say the most learned minds on the subject.

According to all of the latest research, the real danger it turns out is inflammation in the form of two frightening compounds found in the blood of heart attack victims:

• Homocysteine
• C-Reactive Protein

And you don’t get these compounds from certain foods – your body makes them in response to other substances.

Why don’t doctors know about all this? If they do, why aren’t they telling us?

And you don’t need a drug to control Homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein. Read how in today’s article – and save your heart and your life.

Checking your Cholesterol is so Last Century

For much of the 20th century, doctors and patients tracked the ups and downs of cholesterol levels to determine the risk of having a heart attack. But the evidence supporting the link between high cholesterol and heart disease has been, from the start, pretty flimsy. Certainly, people with extremely high cholesterol levels or familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition) do have a higher risk of heart disease. But elevated cholesterol levels appear to be more of a symptom than a cause – a sign that something, somewhere is awry.

In the late 1990s, researchers at the Harvard Medical School were on the trail of a new, and more likely, factor in coronary artery disease (CAD). Paul Ridker, MD, and his colleagues suspected that “inflammation” was a key player in heart disease. They developed a test for “high sensitivity C-reactive protein” (CRP) that was able to detect chronic low-grade inflammation, something missed by all other medical tests.

Lipitor-Statin Drug Madness

In the 1990s, to hoodwink the public at large, drug companies introduced cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, such as Lipitor, practically cementing the largely unsubstantiated link between cholesterol and heart disease. That began a high-pressure sell to get both consumers and physicians interested in using statins to lower cholesterol levels, and Lipitor alone now accounts for $13 billion in yearly sales.

But nearly everyone seems to ignore a key fact: half of people with heart disease have normal cholesterol levels. So there must be other big risk factors, but what are they? C-Reactive Protein and its kissing cousin, Homocysteine.

As many of you know, I devour every tiny tidbit of information about treating and preventing cancer. Deep within ourselves we all know there has to be a cure out there, or at the very least, an answer to the terrifying tragedy of getting cancer.

When I first was told by a leading marine scientist, Dr. John Croft of New Zealand, who has led the world in the medicinal study of the shark species, that shark’s just don’t get cancer, that news literally floored me.

Inside the shark’s immune system is a brutally efficient and powerful immune system compound called “Alkyglycerol” or “AKG”, for short. This compound, also found in mother’s breast milk by the way, is the key to the shark’s amazing longevity, as it has far outlived the dinosaurs and their lifespan exceeds our own by 25 years.

Was this the great missing link in the treatment and prevention of cancer and all immune system diseases? Watch today’s video and you be the judge and jury on this matter.
