Vitamin D

Vitamin D Deficiency Could Increase Hip Fracture Risk Dramatically
US Researchers have concluded lower blood concentrations of Vitamin D increase the likelihood of hip fracture among menopausal women by up to 70%.
The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers concluded those women who had hip fractures had lower blood levels of Vitamin D.
“In our prospective, nested case-control study, we found that women with the lowest 25 (OH) Vitamin D concentrations (47.6 nmol/L) at study entry had a significantly greater increased risk for subsequent hip fracture during the next seven years than did women with the highest concentrations (70.7 nmol/L), “ The researchers wrote.

Selenium Cancer Facts

In 1996 in the medical journal JAMA a study was published. Patients where given 250 mcg of selenium daily for 10 years. The subjects given the selenium had 71% fewer esophageal cancer, 60% fewer prostate cancer, 64% colorectal cancer, 48% fewer lung cancer, 50 to 80% less breast cancer (depending on the type).

GLUTATHIONE....We need it.

Why Glutathione? 

Why Glutathione? Glutathione (GSH) is described as a cell protector, an antioxidant, detoxifier, immune system enhancer, energy booster, healing agent, anti-aging nutrient, etc., and the list goes on and on. Additionally, Jimmy Gutman, MD, author of “Glutathione - Your Body’s Most Powerful Protector”, provides the research that shows it is
Superb support for:

• Stress
• Athletic performance
• Skin disorders
• Detoxification
• Fatigue
• Digestion
• Pregnancy/lactation
• Sleep
• Psychoneurobiology
• Trauma and burns
• Seizures
• Stomach/bowel conditions
• Kidney issues

• Parkinson’s
• Alzheimers
• PSA levels
• Balding/hair loss
• Infertility
• And many other conditions

Our bodies lose 8 to 12 percent glutathione every decade starting at age 20. The healthiest people have a high glutathione level in their bodies. I have personally felt a higher energy level and got rid of my aches and pains in 2 days after being on a Glutathione accelerator. After being on this glutathione accelerator for 90 days it can raise your glutathione level 276 per cent.

Swine Flu

Well it is official. Seniors 65 and over are not on the guidelines for receiving the swine flu shot. We just recieved the guidelines from the CDC of who we will be able to give the Swine Flu shot to, here is a copy of what was sent:
Novel H1N1 Vaccination Recommendations
With the new H1N1 virus continuing to cause illness, hospitalizations and deaths in the US during the normally flu-free summer months and some uncertainty about what the upcoming flu season might bring, CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has taken an important step in preparations for a voluntary novel H1N1 vaccination effort to counter a possibly severe upcoming flu season. On July 29, ACIP met to consider who should receive novel H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available.
Novel H1N1 Vaccine
Every flu season has the potential to cause a lot of illness, doctor’s visits, hospitalizations and deaths. CDC is concerned that the new H1N1 flu virus could result in a particularly severe flu season this year. Vaccines are the best tool we have to prevent influenza. CDC hopes that people will start to go out and get vaccinated against seasonal influenza as soon as vaccines become available at their doctor’s offices and in their communities (this may be as early as August for some). The seasonal flu vaccine is unlikely to provide protection against novel H1N1 influenza. However a novel H1N1 vaccine is currently in production and may be ready for the public in the fall. The novel H1N1 vaccine is not intended to replace the seasonal flu vaccine – it is intended to be used along-side seasonal flu vaccine.
CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a panel made up of medical and public health experts, met July 29, 2009, to make recommendations on who should receive the new H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available. While some issues are still unknown, such as how severe the virus will be during the fall and winter months, the ACIP considered several factors, including current disease patterns, populations most at-risk for severe illness based on current trends in illness, hospitalizations and deaths, how much vaccine is expected to be available, and the timing of vaccine availability.
The groups recommended to receive the novel H1N1 influenza vaccine include:
Pregnant women because they are at higher risk of complications and can potentially provide protection to infants who cannot be vaccinated;
Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age because younger infants are at higher risk of influenza-related complications and cannot be vaccinated. Vaccination of those in close contact with infants less than 6 months old might help protect infants by “cocooning” them from the virus;
Healthcare and emergency medical services personnel because infections among healthcare workers have been reported and this can be a potential source of infection for vulnerable patients. Also, increased absenteeism in this population could reduce healthcare system capacity;
All people from 6 months through 24 years of age
Children from 6 months through 18 years of age because we have seen many cases of novel H1N1 influenza in children and they are in close contact with each other in school and day care settings, which increases the likelihood of disease spread, and
Young adults 19 through 24 years of age because we have seen many cases of novel H1N1 influenza in these healthy young adults and they often live, work, and study in close proximity, and they are a frequently mobile population; and,
Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza.
We do not expect that there will be a shortage of novel H1N1 vaccine, but flu vaccine availability and demand can be unpredictable and there is some possibility that initially, the vaccine will be available in limited quantities. So, the ACIP also made recommendations regarding which people within the groups listed above should be prioritized if the vaccine is initially available in extremely limited quantities. For more information see the CDC press release CDC Advisors Make Recommendations for Use of Vaccine Against Novel H1N1.
Once the demand for vaccine for the prioritized groups has been met at the local level, programs and providers should also begin vaccinating everyone from the ages of 25 through 64 years. Current studies indicate that the risk for infection among persons age 65 or older is less than the risk for younger age groups. However, once vaccine demand among younger age groups has been met, programs and providers should offer vaccination to people 65 or older.

Did you notice the end:

Once the demand for vaccine for the prioritized groups has been met at the local level, programs and providers should also begin vaccinating everyone from the ages of 25 through 64 years. Current studies indicate that the risk for infection among persons age 65 or older is less than the risk for younger age groups. However, once vaccine demand among younger age groups has been met, programs and providers should offer vaccination to people 65 or older.

Their risk of infection may be lower but risk of DEATH is much higher.

Poor Sleep and Longevity: What Gives?

Hello all...

Having gone a full two year stretch (circa 2000) sleeping only 2 hours per night, I have devoted much of my professional life and work to this very issue.

I also specialize in using a new Neurofeedback technology that normalizes restful, restorative sleep in 93% of the people I train in my practice.

A few of the cases that we have had success recovering sleep with:

* Recent and longer term general insomnia

* Anxiety and panic attack related insomnia

* Mild to moderate physical and central sleep apnea

* Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue related sleep deprivation issues

* Insomnia and sleep deprivation related depression issues

We assist in normalizing sleep without aids like Ambien and Lunesta. We do not however, diagnose, treat or cure any diseases or disorders.

So if anyone has any questions related to sleep, insomnia as well as other sleep related challenges....fire away! I'm happy to share what I know.

Yours in Restful Sleep,

creating healthy cells with simple shakes!

Pope John Paul, Reliv International's Dr.Theodore Kalogris, CEO Robert and Sandy Montgomery-
Dr.Theodore Kalogris was a world renowned microbiologist, hemotologist, immunologist, and the longest funded scientist on the World Health Organization who took 10 years and 850 experiments and witnessed an unhealthy cell under a microscope become healthy in 20 minutes. Since 95 % of all disease and illness is due to cellular toxicity and nutritional deficiency Dr. Ted hit the bullseye, since he witnessed all of the toxin leaving the cell as he placed a perfect combination of 72 vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements into the cell. When toxins from our food, water and air overload in our human cells, this results in cellular toxicity which is the cause of 95% of all major disease. When you take Reliv consistently our body's cells rids itself of toxins. If you can continually push toxin out of the cells, the miracle of the body is that it has the ability to heal itself from within. Dr.Ted received the 1st US government patent ever given on a food formula and since Reliv's Dr. Carl Hastings has received 5 more patents on our products that specifically target the 4 main killer diseases today being Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer and Arthritis. Reliv is by far the Rolls Royce of Premium Nutrition and over the past 21 years has changed so many people's lives both physically and financially. Thanks to God, Dr.Ted, Dr. Hastings and Robert and Sandy Montgomery for making this all possible and sharing the gift of health and wealth with everyone nationally and internationally.
