“It was my first day at the Peachford rehab clinic for addiction to the prescription painkiller tramadol. I wound up spending 72 hours detoxing in a sparse room where everything but a Bible was bolted to the floor. The blinds were drawn tight against the sun — which, along with just about everything else, inexplicably offended me to the point of tears.”
Kim, prescription painkiller addict

A staggering 15 million Americans are dependent upon and/or abusing painkillers, especially Oxycontin, the #1 prescribed painkiller (often referred to as “Hillybilly Heroin”.)

This is MORE than the number of all people reported to be abusing cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants and heroin combined!

In 2009, prescription painkillers were responsible for more than 15,500 drug overdose deaths.

Michael Jackson was so addicted to prescription pain medication that he was unable to sleep without something stronger – and his doctor finally gave in and administered propofol – a drug used as general anesthesia for people who are undergoing surgery for goodness sakes!

The unfortunate reality is that at some point, your body builds up a resistance to the painkillers and they stop working, forcing you to take more or get something stronger, creating a vicious and dangerous cycle of addiction.

Of course Mother Nature can help you break this cycle.

We’re in a Nationwide Prescription Painkiller Crisis
Every single day, prescription pain medication overdoses account for more than 100 deaths in the United States.

This has to stop!

The misuse and abuse of prescription painkillers was responsible for more than 475,000 emergency room visits in 2009, nearly double in just five years.

Things are so out of control Dr. Oz devoted an entire TV episode about a small town in Ohio where, since the late 1990’s, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse has become so rampant, Hepatitis C, drug related deaths, robberies, murder and drug-addicted babies have become the norm!

Transform your life with ENZYMES!

Researchers estimate that up to 30% of Americans suffer from an affliction known as Leaky Gut Syndrome (just the phrase causes my stomach to turn a little), and as much as 90% of all chronic symptoms and chronic conditions are linked to it.

Leaky Gut almost always goes undiagnosed. Ailments like arthritis, diabetes, asthma, chronic fatigue, inability to lose weight are all related in part with poor or declining gut health.

Could this be happening inside of you without you even knowing about it?

There is simple remedy for Leaky Gut and the myriad of ailments it causes. Read on for the closest thing we’ve found to the discovery of the Fountain of Youth, that could just possibly heal your entire digestive tract!

Enzymes are the Building Blocks of Life

Enzymes are the building blocks of life itself. They help us to see, hear, feel, move, digest, think and heal. Enzymes assist the body in breaking down food, providing the body with life-giving fuel.

Secreted by the pancreas, production of these vital enzymes decline as we age, diminishing the ability of our digestive tract to break down and extract nutrients from the food we eat.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that lack of stomach chi (energy), leads to increased disease, fatigue and aging. Without enzymes, a person’s stomach chi becomes dangerously low.

As you might suspect, processed foods are devoid of life-giving enzymes. This is one of the reasons why I rail against the Standard American Diet of fast-food and sugary sodas! Adding enzymes to your diet every day allows you to nourish your digestive system and avoid chronic conditions associated with leaky gut.

Dr. Edward Howell pioneered the use of plant-based enzymes to prevent disease, teaching science that all disease (including the dreaded Leaky Gut Syndrome) is nothing more than the lack or imbalance of enzymes.

I have discovered a remarkable, all-natural substance the Japanese have been using consuming for more than 1000 years.

I have been using it with heart patients for over 20 years and find it ironic that all of the “natural wonders” seemingly take forever to be available here in America.

This amazing natural food works like a “Roto Rooter” to unclog arteries, clearing out the plaque buildup in arterial walls, improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure, as the arteries regain flexibility.

Heart Disease is Killing America!

High blood pressure and clogged arteries are the reasons. Yet there are places on Earth where heart disease is practically unheard of. Japan in particular has one of the lowest disease rates OF ANY DISEASE in the world. And one of the best track records for heart health and longevity.

Without using dangerous drugs. Why is this so?

A lot of this can be attributed to their high fish and seafood consumption, (the Japanese invented Sushi after all!) which is incredibly high in Omega 3 fatty acids that fight heart disease.

But what’s even more intriguing is that they have one of the highest consumption rates of a soybean-based food called “Natto”. A mentor of mine, Dr. Jonathan Wright of Washington, first introduced me to Nattokinase. Another revolutionary doctor, Dr. Julian Whittaker, also told me all about it.

Nattokinase Helped Carl Bypass A Bypass

When I first learned of the amazing powers of Nattokinase, I would prepare it on the stove in my kitchen for my patients.

The very first one was Carl Crawford. His wife Annette called me as Carl was experiencing chest pains when working outside and tired all the time.

His doctor found that all three arteries supplying blood to the heart had clogged up!

Two were 100% totally clogged and another other with over 60%. Carl had a stent installed in the one with 60% blockage, but wanted to know what I could do to help!

Carl’s cholesterol level was over 600. (no, this is not a misprint) and his triglycerides were 1,233! (again, not a misprint)

After 1 week, Carl’s blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides all dropped dramatically.

George Burns, the famous comedian, was once asked by Larry King in an interview if he had ever had arthritis?

“Oh, yes, I was the first to get it,” Burns replied.

A great joke but in actual fact, Arthritis is possibly the world’s oldest disease. It has a myriad of forms and all are deadly, even fatal such as Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The Arthritis Foundation tells us that over 100 million Americans of all ages, even young children, suffer from Arthritis. That’s one out of every two people!

For over 20 years now I have been helping people fight all forms of Arthritis, including associated conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. And we get exceptional results, particularly with the use of powerful ionic mineral compounds and anti-inflammatory herbs.

Diet and exercise changes are crucial. Total elimination of all dairy is a must. Did you know countries with the highest consumption of milk, cheese, ice cream and butter also have the highest levels of osteoporosis and arthritis? Visit www.NotMilk.com to learn more.

Recently I uncovered research on Celadrin®, a new, all-natural formulation that promises to rewrite the history books in the fight against all forms of Arthritis. With no dangerous drug side-effects. If you know someone with arthritis in any shape or form, please forward them this article.

Get a Grip on Arthritis – Once and for All

When Arthritis hits you, it takes over your life with pain occurring every second. Mundane tasks become major, and major tasks become painful reminders of what life was like when your joints were strong and seemingly indestructible.

Many sufferers lose hope, while others hopelessly lose out on so many of life’s activities.

Over the past ten years, notable advances in the nutritional sciences have paved the path for landmark products such as Glucosamine, SAMe, Chondroitin, MSM, and others. As a result, millions have found relief in these products and continue to use them in their quest towards healthy mobility.

Celadrin – All Natural Arthritis Breakthrough

Celadrin is perhaps the most convincing proof of the power of natural substances to fight Arthritis. The extremely high user success rate and virtually complete absence of side effects has helped Celadrin rise to the rank of joint support extraordinaire.
