High Blood Pressure/
High Cholesterol/ Congestive Heart Failure
Mitral Valve Prolapse/Atrial Fibrillation
Heart Bypass – Stents/Angioplasty/Stroke
Now a Cardiac Invalid
There is an
old saying that: “You are what you eat”.
More properly put it would be “You are what you eat and absorb” Most of the above listed problems first
start stealthy with the deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals, essential
fatty acids, enzymes, co-enzymes, amino acids, co-factor and a myriad of
phytochemicals and phytonutrients.
When you are
eating too many carbohydrates and not enough protein and/or taking too many
drugs but not enough natural live phytonutrients, then it can only cause obesity,
high blood pressure, diabetes and constipation etc.
The Standard
American Diet (SAD) will only increase your insulin demand and make your blood
pressure high. Certain diets in other
ethnic cultures result in the same outcome. So check what you are eating and
only then you can have certain good side effects such as losing weight,
lowering your cholesterol, increasing your HDL, increase your stamina,
endurance, strength and vitality. You
will have less joint pains, muscle aches, backaches and headaches.
All you have
to do is to add certain live natural orthomolecular supplements to your
diet. Mediterranean diet is well respected
in the field of health-care, so follow a diet similar to it.
Did you know
that heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular disease in general are
virtually unknown in the animal kingdom? This is true regardless of animal
diet, animal’s level of activity or any other factor.
Yet coronary and cardiovascular diseases are not only common but an epidemic worldwide. Heart problems have become number two killer here in the United States – only behind “Death by prescription medicine, surgery or medical procedures.” See the article: Author, Null, PhD., Dean, MD,ND, Feldmen, MD, & Rasio, MD. 2005. Death by Medicine. Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Vol.20, No. 1. Retrieved from http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=death+by+medicine&hl.
Researchers,
such as Matthias Rath, MD, (2003). Why
Animal Don’t Get Heart Attack But Humans Do. Fremont: MR Publishing, Inc., have found
that the animals synthesize the Vitamin C that they need in their bodies. On the other hand, we human beings must get
our Vitamin C from outside food sources or supplementation.
When Vitamin
C is depleted, then body’s tissues degrade quickly. Bleeding gums is the first symptom [Leaking of
blood from blood vessel wall]. The same
kind of shortage of Vitamin C causes heart disease by reduction and breakdown
of collagen molecules and t thereby interrupting cardiovascular integrity.
You might
get enough Vitamin C to prevent “Scurvy” of the gum but may not get enough
Vitamin C to prevent “Scurvy” of the heart or cardiovascular system. Cataplex-C
has a very natural form of Vitamin C (not just ascorbic acid) in this
product. 3 tablets 2 times a day along
with other complexes will do the job to correct this collagen integrity problem.
A further
discussion of plaque building process is discussed in detail in my article “Atherosclerosis”.
B-complex
deficiency syndrome (BCDS) is very common and results in many symptoms leading
to disorder and disease. If you keep
eating high sugar and high glucose diet then the body’s response will be to
raise insulin levels which in turn affect your heart and kidneys with high blood
pressure (because of high insulin induced hypertension).
This can be
resolved by supplementing your high-protein – lower carbohydrate diet with Diaplex,
Cardio-Plus, Cataplex GTF, Organically
Bound Minerals and Fermented Cod Liver Oil or pure Flax Seed
Oil.
If the lab
results show some damage to your kidneys due to prescription drugs – then add Pyridoxal-5-Phospate
to your orthomolecular regimen. Remember
your high insulin induced blood pressure will resolve with this diet change
along with above mentioned orthomolecular supports.
Patients
come to my office with complaints of back pain, neck pain, headaches etc. During
history, I find that some of these patients have been vegetarians and even
vegans, lean and thin stature or may be even underweight and already either had
angioplasty or “stents” in their heart (coronary artery) or had a cardiac by-pass surgery and are now surviving on multiple drugs.
I order
blood-lipid profile (cholesterol/triglycerides) and sugar tests on obese or
overweight patients that have come out to be normal without any sign of
hyper-cholesterolemia and/or hyperlipidemia or hyperglycemia. In other words – you don’t have to be always
obese or overweight to have these problems – only the probability of having
such metabolic problems or back problems increase with weight gain.
Congestive Heart Failure
Always know this
“Vitamin-B” deficiency causes beriberi of the heart which in turn causes
congestive heart failure (CHF).
Beriberi causes nerve conductivity
problem (in “bundle of His” and left bundle branch and/or
right bundle
branches) leading to severe weakness in heart muscles – too weak to contract
normally. If you do not treat this
properly and just give improper treatment (through drugs) then your heart muscles will continue to weaken and your
heart will not be able to contract strong enough to pump blood out and into the
rest of the circulatory system (other organs and body parts).
When blood
cannot be properly pumped out of its chambers – then it is bogged down and gets
loaded with the blood and the situation is called congestive heart. Further
weakening of heart muscles (due to beriberi and further insult from blood pressure drugs) the heart begins
to fail. It starts to beat faster and
tries harder but only to get more congested, flaccid and enlarged and starts to
drop lower in the chest cavity.
Now the
cardiac muscles are more stretched and the valves also get stretched unevenly
causing the blood to leak (as it cannot close the aperture completely).
The
measurement of heart’s pumping capability is known as ejection factor. Low
ejection factor is dangerous and has nothing to do with old age but has to do
with B-complex deficiency complicated with blood pressure drugs.
When you
have CHF, leaking heart valves and low ejection factor – such condition will
decrease the blood supply and with it diminished nutrients and oxygen. Oxygen is needed to burn sugar to provide
energy for walking, doing work around the house and thinking clearly. But without sufficient blood supply (O2
and nutrients etc.) you will easily pant for air or your brain will be foggy or
cannot think straight. All this happens
stealthily over period of time while your body and heart is trying to
compensate for low oxygen and diminished nutrients due to lower blood
supply. The heart does it by beating
faster and faster with weakened contractions. It may even beat erroneously by
beating normal and then faster (irregularly) – a condition called arrhythmias. More drugs or new drugs to battle this
condition will not help its basic cause which is B-complex deficiency plus some
other deficiencies that I will discuss later.
By the time congestive heart
condition becomes chronic, the heart has fluids build up around it
(pericarditis) and the fluid builds up in the lungs (pleurisy) and may result
in swelling in the legs with pitting edema.
The patient,
now, is prescribed more drugs, such as diuretics
to get rid of water (fluids) until he or she becomes a cardiac invalid and end
up “spaced out”. Finally the patient
dies due to the effects of CHF such as pneumonia or kidney failure etc. Then the doctor tells the relatives that: “We
are sorry – we did everything that we could.”
The answer
for cardiac problems, obesity, and diabetes remain in changing the diet. I repeat that “you are what you eat and
absorb” To eat the right kind of whole foods you must first avoid the packaged
foods and soft drinks. I always tell my
patients that when you go for grocery
shopping – enter the store and start from your right side and go around the
periphery of the store, then pay at the check-out and get out of the store
without going in the center aisles. This
way you will get all your vegetables, fruits, meats, breads, dairy products,
and eggs. All processed foods, packaged
foods, soft drinks and other synthetics foods are always in the center aisles.
The raw
foods such as cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, kelp, liver, heart, thymus,
garlic, ginger, spinach etc contain large quantities of B-vitamins and minerals
etc besides other vital phytonutrients. Dr. Bruce West, D.C., also talks about
vitamin B4 in these raw foods that is not available in synthetic form at all.
These raw foods would also contain actual nutritional complex of vitamins A, C,D,
E and F – all natural complexes – in opposed to synthetic forms.
These raw
foods will also contain certain vital phystonutrients, phytochemicals, organic
minerals, fatty acids, phytosteriol enzymes, Co-enzymes and trace minerals
activators known and unknown as yet. Such combinations would be raw, live and
in perfect balance that our body can utilize.
Such raw
foods are uniquely and scientifically extracted and put together under low
temperatures and high pressure vacuum without the use of heat and/or chemicals
to preserve the original life bonds/energy.
I mostly recommend
Cardio-Plus
(3 tabs BID), Cataplex-B (3 BID), Cataplex F (3 BID), Cyruta Plus (3 BID),
Diaplex (2 cap BID) and Min – Tan (3 Tab BID). These products are made by Standard Process
Co.
I would also
recommend taking 3-6 cap of Fermented High
Vitamin Cod Liver Oil or fresh flax
seed oil daily. If there is too
much water retention in body or in the legs then 3 tablets of A-C
carbamide and Cataplex E2 from Standard
Process Company will help.
Fermented High Vitamin Cod
Liver Oil is
preferable to most other cod liver oils because the fermented cod liver oil
from Greenpasture Company is fully intact with fat soluble Vitamin A, K, D and
E
This
orthomolecular protocol will help in various conditions of heart problems such
as shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, if climbing stairs make you
pant or pulse rate become erratic, your legs feel heavy after a short walk,
hands and feet always feel cold and prone to easy infections.
This
protocol will help normalize your blood pressure, maintain healthy cholesterol
level and homocysteine levels, Normalize CRP, erratic hear beat, atrial
fibrillation, edema, and as a side effect you will feel 10- 20 years younger.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Atherosclerosis
Coronary Artery Disease is the most
common form of heart disease and it is caused by fatty deposits of cholesterol,
dead macrophage cells, and other waste products, calcium and fibrin inside the
lumen of the artery. This deposition starts
slowly and builds up over a period of few months to years. This build up of paste like material is called plaque leading to Arthrosclerosis.
Any other type of hardening of the arteries is known as arteriosclerosis.
Such conditions start as beriberi of the heart due to Vitamin B deficiency syndrome and certain mineral deficiency and/or scurvy of the arteries (Just like bleeding gums in scurvy) due to vitamin C deficiency. Plaque development and hence blockage starts as injury to the endothelium of arterial inner wall (intema).
The macrophage cells come and engulf monocyte cells and other byproducts (fibrinogen to fibrin) and they burst out as foam cells and
more fibrin is laid down. Then LDL-cholesterol is deposited which is easily
oxidized and becomes very sticky.
I don’t want
to bore you with all these explanations but I would like you to know that:
there are some mechanisms that can be used as a control of such plaque
development:
1. Control Homocysteine overload
2. Control of LDL-Cholesterol oxidation
3. Control of platelet aggregation
4. Control inflammation
Natural
metabolic therapy for controlling homocysteine is to supply Folate,
Methylcobalamine (B12), and Trimethyl Glycine (TMG) – also known as
Betaine-HCL). This is used for
re-methylation of homocysteine back to methionine amino-acid.
Use B6
vitamin to detoxify homocysteine into Cystein. This Cystein amino acid is used
in the synthesis of Glutathione and Taurine Amino Acids.
Supplement
diet with creatin and choline amino-acid
Cut down and/or
eliminate eating Red meat which has high amount of methionine amino acid which
causes inflammation.
Control Homocysteine Level
All
homocysteine is created from the amino-acid mehtionime. If there is enough Folic Acid (or natural
Folates) in your diet then homocysteine will be re-methylated into methionine
as mentioned earlier.
Homocystein
is the second most important risk factor (second to CRP level) in the CV
disease. If your homocysteine level is
high - that simply means you have deficiency of Folic Acid, B12, and B6
vitamins.
Homocysteine
is converted into cysteine, methiomine, and SAMe (sulfoadenosy/methionine) This SAMe produces other beneficial amino
acids such as Creatine, and Phosphatilyl
Choline (Lecithin). Creatine is used to
synthesize Glutathion and Taurine amino acid. All of them are very beneficial for us except elevated levels of
homocysteine.
If you eat
red meat then make sure you take Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, B12 and TMG in natural
food sources.
Methionine
makes SAMe which in turn used to synthesize creatine in Kidneys, Liver and
Brain.
Note: This is the reason, why most
doctors will have their patient’s blood work done to see how much damage is
done to the liver and kidneys who are on prescription drugs. More and more Americans are now on kidney
dialysis.
Control LDL Oxidation
High low-density
Lipoprotein (LDL) is more dangerous than high total cholesterol. When LDL is oxidized – then it is more
dangerous – as it becomes very “sticky.” Hence, it becomes easier for
oxidized LDL to stick on endothelial wall.
The
monocytes together with macrophage cells turn into foam cells and the
atherosclerosis process begins. Too
much Iron in blood can also oxidize LDL and decrease the production of NO
(nitric oxide gas)
This is
where the role of L-Arginine comes in which produces more NO gas and affects endothelial
lining of the artery.
Control Abnormal Platelet Aggregation
The role of
platelets in blood is to prevent bleeding by the process called “clotting”, so
that the blood does not leak out.
When the
endothelial lining (inside lumen) of the artery is somehow damaged (due to
nutritional deficiencies or infection) – then the collagen is exposed and the
platelets get stuck to cover the damaged area.
Then in the
process of coagulations the fibrinogen protein converts to fibrin (small
threads to make a mesh). Elevated fibrinogen levels are indicative of
abnormal blood clotting or injury somewhere in the body. But decreased levels
of fibrinogen can lead to hemorrhagic problems.
Hence
fibrinogen promotes platelet aggregation and promotes adhesion to the blood
vessels wall especially during low levels of O2 in blood.
To control
abnormal platelet aggregation and anti-fibrinogenlytic action (nutritionally)
is to take Bromelain (from Pineapple), curcumin (from Turmeric), Omega-3 fatty
acids, (Fermented Cod Liver Oil), garlic, ginger, gingko-biloba, green tea,
gugulipid (from an Indian Herb), niacin amide (B3), pantethine (B5), policosanol
(from sugar cane), proanthocyanidins (from pine bark extract), Vitamin A,
beta-carotene, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Asprin from White Willow Bark also
helps control platelet aggregation.
Inflammation
CRP (C - reactive protein) and
fibrinogen (along with High Blood Pressure) are excellent markers of systemic inflammation
(even more so then LDL-c) Fibrinogen and CRP are produced in the liver. Both of
these factors are due to injury to the inner lining of arterial vessels leading
to atherosclerosis.
Advanced
Atherosclerosis may lead to heart attack,
MI or even stroke. Cardiacinterventionists may open lumen of coronary arteries via angioplasty “stents” or by heart
“by-pass”.
CRP
references range is 0.24 – 1.7 mg/L.
The best way
to reduce CRP levels is to take DHEA (50mg or less a day in AM), Fish Oil (the
best is Fermented High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil), Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin
K in the form of nutritional supplementation in the food form (or closet to
it).
Doctors also
prescribe “statin” drugs such as pravastatin.
If CRP
levels elevate –then it reduces Vitamin A, C, E, carotinoids, zinc and
selenium. Low testosterone levels also
equal to increase risk of Heart Attack.
Exercise,
exercise and exercise and it will also decrease the risk of Heart Attack and
Stroke but go slow and don’t forget the warm-up period (5 minute) and then cool
down period.
So you can see the incredible research supported benefits of Nutrients, such as B-Vitamins (Folic Acid, Niacins, B12, B6 and other) Vitamin C, E, C0-Q10, Vitamin F (Fatty Acids), Vitamin D
====================================================================
Albaplex
Albaplex supports kidney function. It supports body’s natural immune response and encourages healthy liver function. It contains a combination of key ingredients from:
1. Betacol: It encourages healthy bile production. Betacol supports healthy liver function. Helps the body metabolize protein. It also supports homocysteine management. It supports muscular function. Most of all it supports the liver’s handling and processing of fats.
2. RenatropHin PMG: It is designed to support healthy kidney gland function. It provides uniquely derived nucleoprotein – minimal extracts that support cellular health. It supports healthy kidney function.
3. Arginex: Supports liver, kidneys and other organs that cleanse the body. Promotes healthy breakdown of protein byproducts in the liver. This reduces kidney stress. It encourages healthy urinary flow to support normal water balance.
4. Cataplex A-C: This product helps support immune function and maintains healthy cells and tissues. Help maintain healthy mucous membranes. Provides antioxidants. It supports the hematopoitic system. Helps maintain healthy epithelial and connective tissue. It is full of Vitamin A from carrots. Also helps maintain healthy eyes through Cataplex –A ingredients. The immune system is also supported as well as skin and bone health. It helps support collagen synthesis. Cataplex –C ingredients support healthy bone tissue, provides antioxidants. This part of Cataplex-C also supports adrenal glands.
5. Thymex: it supports the thymex gland with bovine thymus cytosol extract, calcium and magnesium. Thymus gland is the master gland of immune system .
The producers of these products use a blend of many live phyitonutrients and organ meats or hormonal and enzymatic products
================================================================
Cardio-Plus
Cardio-Plus makes a powerful cardiotonic (increases the tone of heart muscle). Cardio-plus is a very good product for people with cardiac fatigue, high blood pressure, heart muscle atrophy, angina, congestive heart failure, heart arrhythmias, heart spasms, heart valve problems, clogged arteries and anyone who has had a heart attack. Almost all heart patients should be taking this cardiotonic at a dose of 3-4 tabs three times a day. It should be noted that anyone who has low blood pressure then you should not take Cardio-plus instead you should take the product called “vasculin”
Cardio-Plus contains five different products
|
Cataplex –G – This encou:rages healthy parasympathetic nerve functions (calming effect). It also provides co-enzymes and co-factors needed for cellular function. It is part of Vitamin B complex |
|
Cataplex E2 – This provides normal
cardiovascular health and antioxidants. It is made from tillandsia, high
selenium yeast, adrenal, spleen and orchid extract. Besides immune-bolstering
effect; Cataplex E2 actually reduces the hearts need for oxygen – which makes
the heart muscle work more efficiently. This mechanism makes it specific for
people suffering from angina. When elite mountain climbers challenge Mount
Everest, they never leave without taking Cataplex E with them. It allows more
O2 to cells – relieving O2 starvation for mountain climbers and leg cramps as
well as restless leg syndrome. |
|
Calcium Lactate – It also has magnesium citrate. It supports muscle contraction and nerve conduction, blood coagulation, enzyme systems, healthy bone density and remodeling. It is highly soluble form of calcium from non-dairy source. It contains the normal balance of calcium to magnesium (5:1)
|
|
Cardiotrophin –PMG – It combines bovine heart protomorphagen extract, calcium and magnesium. It is a nuclio-protein mineral that supports muscular health. Supports the heart and cardiovascular system. Normal heart cell growth and differentiation is also supported. Contains naturally occurring Co-enzyme Q10. |
|
Cataplex-C: This product supports immune system, skin and connective tissue and bone health. Promotes vascular integrity through support of collagen synthesis. Supports bone tissue health. Provides anti-oxidants. Supports the adrenal glands. It contains bovine bone-PMG, bovine adrenal, buckwheat extract, nutritional yeast, calcium acid phosphate, Echinacea root, carrot, veal bone, lecithin, mixed tocopherols and rice bran. =========================================================== Cataplex-B Let’s talk about another cardiac tonic (a formula that tones the heart muscle) This product is a must for most heart patients and people who are suffering from various ailments due to “B-complex deficiency syndrome” Do you suffer from: arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, murmur, fibrillation, tachycardia (heart beats too fast), bradycardia (heart beats too slow), low blood pressure, weak heart, poor heart muscle tone, edema, fatigue, mental problems: depression & anxiety, neuropathy, neuralgia, high blood fats, clogged arteries, post-traumatic depression, concentration and memory problems etc. The products Chief Ingredients are yeast, wheat grain, liver, beet juice, adrenal extract and carrot.All are organic and processed without any heat. Cataplex-B contains the whole spectrum of B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B9 and B12 etc. B4 alone is very important factor in helping heart-patients recover. Vitamin B4 is also known as anti-paralysis vitamin. B4 is extracted from germ of wheat and it is fat soluble (unlike most water soluble B vitamin). Vitamin B4 could never be synthesized in laboratories and was declared unnecessary by the Feds and therefore is not legal to mention on the labels. So don’t look for it on the cataplexy B label. Like cardio-plus, this Cataplex B (containing B4) is a cardiotonic and is made from whole food and raw foods without any heat. Vitamin B4 – a complex of Adenine + Nicinamide + D-ribose + Phosphoric Acid =========================================================== Cataplex F It
used to be called Vitamin F (fatty acids-plus). It supports the metabolism
of Fats, supports body’s natural response to inflammation, supports thyroid via
iodine. Promote healthy skin and hair. Cataplex-F supports the
formation of eicosanoids (omega-3 Fatty Acids) Cataplex
F ingredients are calcium lactate, defatted wheat germ, carrot root, bovine
prostate and liver, magnesium citrate, oat flour, bovine orchic extract, bovine
liver fat extract, flaxseed oil extract, para-aminobezoite, mixed tocopheroles
(soy), ascorbic acid and soybean lecithin. One
should take about 3 tab of Cataplex-F two times a day (Bid) This
is an amazing vitamin complex product that increase the strength of your heart
muscles in minutes, says Dr. West of “Health Alert” (who has treated more than
20,000 cardiac patients) . It helps prevent muscle cramp in 30 minutes or
less. It is not only good for your thyroid but it will also protect you
from sun-stroke, heat exhaustion and you should keep in your pocket if you are
going to run or play out in the sun. Cataplex-F
complex has ability to take calcium from blood and carry into the tissue for
use – that is why it is a very powerful heart tonic (cardiotonic). When
heart muscles are weakened from lack of adequate amount of calcium it cannot
contract properly. When this happens the second heart sound is diminished or
even absent. When you chew 2-3 tablets of Vitamin F complex (Cataplex F), the
second heart sound is restored (as heard from stethoscope) this indicates the increased
strength of heart muscle for proper contraction. Along
with spinal adjustment of C1/C2 complex and T1/T2, I always include Cardio-Plus,
Cataplex B and Cataplex F for long term. I add Cyruta-Plus only for 2-3
months supplementation. Cataplex-F
is important product not only for heart muscles, but also for muscle cramps and
charley-horse protocol. If
you have angina (charley horse of heart muscle) then add Cataplex E2 also to
your heart protocol. All
those people who play sports in the sun and all construction workers out in hot
sunshine must keep Cataplex F with them for protection from sunstroke and
muscle cramps. Iodine
in Cataplex F feeds the thyroid gland and helps provide for smooth heartbeat. This product is very hard to make or almost impossible for many other companies to make. Only Standard Process Company produces this product in a very live form. =========================================================== Cataplex GTF Cataplex GTF supports carbohydrate digestion. It
supports healthy blood sugar levels when already within normal range. It helps and
encourages healthy blood sugar utilization at the cellular level This
Cataplex GTF contains chromium, L-cysteine hydrochloride, pancreatic
cytosol-extract and other synergistic ingredients such as bovine adrenal
cytosol extract and oat flour. Chromium
is an essential part of the Glucose tolerance factor which is involved in
carbohydrate metabolism. I recommend
1 tablet of Cataplex GTF per meal along with 1 Diaplex capsule about 2 times a
day. If one has advanced diabetes then
they should take 2 tablets of Cataplex GTF and 3 capsules of Diaplex 3 times a
day with each meal. The meal
should not have any wheat or other glutens and should not be from processed
foods or packaged foods. No sugar products and soft drinks (soda/Coke) are allowed
during this period of treatment. Weight lifting exercises for 30 minutes once a week in highly recommended to transfer glucose from blood to muscle tissue where it belongs and where it burns to give energy for work. =========================================================== Cholaplex Cholaplex
supports the cardiovascular system. It helps encourage healthy fat processing
by the liver and support vascular system. Cholaplex contains a combination of key ingredients from the following 5
products: Orchex: Promotes Nervous System Balance.
Potent calming effect that helps maintains emotional balance. Encourages mental
clarity enhances the ability to relax and allows great adaptability to life’s
stresses. Supports the balanced function of the central nervous system and also
supports healthy testicular function. Cataplex-F: supports the thyroid and the body’s
natural response to inflammation. Cataplex-G maintains nerve health and provides
a calmatic effect on the nervous system. Encourages healthy parasympathetic
nerve-system. Supports healthy liver functioning. Supports brain and metabolism.
Provides co-enzymes and co-factors needed for cellular function. It has vitamin
B3 (niacin amide) and Vitamin
C Cyruta is a product that has ingredients to
support healthy cholesterol that is already within the normal range. Supports circulatory cholesterol transport. Supports
healthy peripheral circulation. Helps to maintain the integrity of the
capillary walls. Cyruta also has ingredients that provide a source of inositol.
Most of Cyruta ingredients come from buckwheat juice, oat and
bovine adrenal cytosol extract. Cholacol supports healthy fat digestion. Source of bile salts. Supports gallbladder function. Helps enzymes break down fats, which can help with discomfort after eating a fatty meal. Supports healthy elimination. This product contains collinsonia root and purified bovine bile salts. =========================================================== Ostarplex This product is for skeletal system health. It encourages the formation of healthy
connective tissue as well as supports normal liver function and helps support
important chloride ions at the cellular level. Ostarplex contains a combination of ingredients from 5 other
products: Beltacol: This product supports the livers handling and processing of fats Ostarplex, as a whole, contains Alfalfa flour, nutritional
yeast, veal bone PMG extract, soy, choline bitartrate, manganese
glycerophosphate, bovine adrenal, bovine spleen, ovine spleen, licorice root,
defatted wheat germ, para-aminobenozoite, alentoine, porcine brain, and ascorbic
acid. It also contains niacimamide, pyridoxine
hydrochloride and riboflavin 5 – phosphate. You may take one capsule/meal once a day or as much as twice a day. =========================================================== Diaplex Diaplex is
for healthy sugar handling Zypan: This product combines pancreatin pepsin and
betaine hydrochloride to facilitate health digestion. Arginex: This product supports the organs, pituitary,
the liver and kidneys, that help
Pancreatrophin- PMG: It is designed to support healthy pancreatic function.Provides uniquely derived nucleoprotian – mineral extract that supports cellular health. It is derived from Bovine pancreas, dried whole plant, alfalfa, nutritional yeast, porcine duodenum, delatted wheat, buckwheat seeds, and extract as well as Arabic gum. Diaplex and Cataplex GTF together make powerful products to combat sugar problem in diabetics. It will also help detoxify liver and gall bladder. ========================================================== Enzycore Enzycore is
a comprehensive blend of microbial enzymes and whole food ingredients designed
to support healthy digestion and maximize absorption. It contains
microbial enzyme for action within a broad range of pH Enzycore
contains the following enzymes for digestion: Acid Maltase These enzymes comprehensively break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It contains Kale and beat powder for their trace amounts of lutein and betaine. This product contains L-Glutamine (Amino Acid) which is used as building block for other amino-acids. It also provides energy to cells with high energy needs (ie: intestinal mucosa). Enzycore as a whole provides support during both gastric and intestinal phases of digestion. =========================================================== Fermented Cod Liver Oil “Blue Ice Formented
Cod Liver Oil” in combination with “x-factor Gold High Vitamin Butter Oil” are
excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Vitamin K2,
Activator-X and minerals. Dr. Weston A Price
found this substance Activator-X and it activated vitamins, minerals ie:
Vitamin A,D and calcium. It is found in milk of certain grass fed animals
in organ meats, in fish eggs and in liver of certain fish. Dr. Jeffery
Bland called this Activator-X “EPA”. Vitamin
K2 also mimics Activator-X. Vitamin K2 is used by tissues to place calcium
where it belongs – in the bones and teeth. It also helps calcium out of
eyes (cataract), Kidney (stones), arteries (arteriosclerosis) and calcium
deposits in arteries, soft tissues of the joints (arthritis, bursitis,
tendonitis, and myositis). Vitamin K2 is also critical in the health of brain
and heart. So one should take
Cod Liver Oil and Butter Oil together for maximum effectiveness of health of
heart, brain and joints tissues. You need 2-6 caps of
Cod Liver Oil daily combined with butter oil for your healthy heart. Note I: If you are on
Coumadin (warferin) – You can still take K2. Let your doctor know about
this to track INR. Note II: You can buy
this special Cod Liver Oil from. www.radiantlifecatalog.com or call 888-593-8333 or High Vitamin
Cod-Liver Oil and Factor-X – Butter Oil from www.greenpasture.orgor call 401-338-5551 Note III: Most
Cod-Liver Oils and Omega-3-6 sold in health food stores have been purified and
they have removed Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Vitamin K2. Note IV: Some other
sources to get Cod-Liver Oil or other Fish Oils are: ========================================================
ProSynbiotic Our G.I.
(gastro-intestinal tract) tract is a host of trillion of bacteria and
yeast. These different strains of
bacteria must have a proper balance among them (beneficial vs. harmful
bacteria) to balance the metabolism affecting glycemic control, cholesterol and
amino acid metabolism, short train fatty acid production and vitamin synthesis
(B12). Proper microbial balance inhibit
overgrowth of harmful microbes otherwise it will produce dysbiosis and the
disease condition will follow. Taking
antibiotics kills even the beneficial microbes and encourages over growth of
yeast in the gut, vagina and the rest of the body. This is where prosynbiotic plays an important role in
introducing billions of various strains of beneficial bacteria (called
Probiotics) mixed or coated with Prebiotics (food for bacterial growth such as
inulin and GOS) Taking
prosynbiotics (from Standard Process Company) 3 capsules with water on empty
stomach for one month followed by one capsule thereafter will do the job. Prosynbiotics
is a synergistic blend of 4 probiotic strains and 2 probiotic fibers to support
gut flora and overall intestinal health. It contain
lactobacillus and bifidobacteria as lactic acid bacteria as well as it also
contain saccheromyces cerevisiae and saccharomyces boulardi. As prebiotic it
contains inulin fiber and galacto-oligosachandes (GQS) as mention earlier. What is
Prosibiotic useful for? Maintaining a healthy gut
microbial environment Helps contribute to calcium and
magnesium absorption Improve nutrient digestion and
absorption Support normal bowel regularity
and consistency Supports body’s natural /immune
response People who
have acid problem take Tums or antacid drugs may end up with dysbiosis which is
an imbalance between harmful and beneficial bacteria. In dysbiosus the harmful bacteria flourish
and there is an over growth of yeast in their gut especially in the colon and
sometimes in vagina as well. This condition not only produces gas, bloating,
and nutritional imbalances – if gone unchecked it may deteriorate micro villi
in the gut mucoual membrane and may cause increased permeability to undigested
macronutrients leading to leaky gut condition. So, it is
very important to maintain this microbial balance via probiotic. Prosynbiotic, as mentioned earlier, is a
synergistic blend of probiotic and probiotic and then whatever you will eat,
you will be able to absorb and not go to waste especially in terms of nutrients
such as vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, co-factors, and co-enzymes. No matter
whether you are diabetic or have cardiovascular problem or thyroid problem –
one must pay attention to the gut first before ingesting, supplements for full
advantage and availability into your blood circulatory system. The pH in
stomach, intestine and colon is very important and normal/healthy productions
of digestive enzymes including bile salts are equally important. Not enough bile makes the harmful bacteria
flourish. Undigested protein will go
through putrefaction. Undigested carbohydrates will go through fermentation.
Undigested fat will go through rancidification. All these factors will lead to producing gas, bloating and constipation. Prosynbiotic and digestive enzymes can stop
this problem.
