A Simple Way to Protect Your Heart and Brain from Disease

Flaxseed, walnuts, beans, fish, 
and winter squash are all excellent 
food sources of omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) found in fish and natural foods can lower levels of dangerous homocysteine, an amino acid linked with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia, according to research recently published in the journal Nutrition. Scientists found that introducing Omega-3 fats from dietary or supplemental sources was associated with significantly lowered levels of plasma homocysteine. Based on evidence provided by this study and volumes of research over the past decade, most health conscious people should include Omega-3 fats in their diet or supplemental regime to lower chronic disease risk factors.

Omega-3 fats lower homocysteine levels by deactivating an enzyme that is necessary in its formation. Omega-3 fats also improve vascular function and are shown to lower the risk of blood clots while reducing blood pressure and heart rate in people at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

Researchers publishing in The Journal of Neuroscience found that DHA boosts levels of a protein that helps to naturally dissolve plaque tangles in the brain before they can disrupt normal function. Scientists believe that DHA is a nature-supplied nutrient that can help lower the risk of developing dementia, especially when consumed or supplemented from an early age.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been an integral part of the human diet for countless generations, and they are incorporated into cell wall structures throughout the body. Nutritional experts found that 2 to 6 grams of Omega-3 fats consumed daily provide critical support for optimal health and chronic disease reduction.

Is your Sunscreen Toxic?

A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reveals that 97% of Americans are contaminated with a common sunscreen ingredient called oxybenzone. This toxic chemical has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, as well as low birth weight in babies whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. 

Oxybenzone (also known as benzophenone-3) is a penetration enhancer, a chemical that helps other chemicals penetrate the skin. Although oxybenzone is most common in sunscreen, manufacturers also use the chemical in many other personal care products.

The FDA does not require UVA filters in sunscreens, and most manufacturers have never included them in their formulations. However, because of consumer demand and awareness, the number of sunscreens that block harmful UVA radiation more than doubled between summer 2008 and 2009, according to Environmental Working Group's (EWG) analysis.

More Americans than ever are using sunscreen to protect from sunburn and guard against skin cancer. Top choices include products with high SPF ratings, and that are waterproof or that advertise "broad spectrum" protection. Most people trust that the claims on the bottle will ensure that the product truly protects their health and their families', but this is just not the case.

SUNDURANCE™ Sunscreen is a new and revolutionary way to apply sunscreen to the skin through advanced Micro-Encapsulation Technology (MLT™). Scientists have succeeded in wrapping molecules of protective sunscreen chemicals in a microscopic silicate molecule. The molecule is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye, cannot be felt on the skin, and does not create sheen on the skin. When applied to the skin, these micro-molecules form a complete shield of protection on top of the skin while still allowing the skin to breathe.

The result is a sunscreen formula where the chemicals do not touch the skin, are not carcinogenic, and do not cause irritations. Most sunscreens without MLT use chemicals that are applied and absorbed directly into your skin. Virtually all of these chemicals have been demonstrated to have some level of toxicity to the skin. Due to this toxicity concern, it is not recommended that these types of skincare products be used on infants or on sensitive skin. These types of products may also demonstrate a strong chemical odor, and can even cause increased free radicals and oxidation damage to your skin.

Benefits of Sundurance™ MLT Sunscreen

• Maximum protection with minimal skin interaction.
• Non-irritating to the skin and eyes.
• Enhances skin coverage and increases SPF with less ingredients.
• Protects the skin from oxidation and free radical damage.
• Full UVA/UVB spectrum coverage.
• Top quality pharmaceutical grade active ingredients and 100% natural cream base.
• Optimum SPF formulation for highest coverage and safest use.
• Safe for use on infants and children.

Why Should I Take Probiotics?

Most people in North America lack important probiotic bacteria normally found in healthy people that consume a diet based on plants, fibers, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Today’s highly processed commercial foods lack the healthful microorganisms that the body requires for a normal balanced digestive system.

Supplemental probiotics provide the helpful bacteria that normally live in the human digestive tract. Taken regularly, probiotics can help keep the digestive system in balance and functioning optimally and support immune system function, especially when you're taking antibiotics, which can wipe out intestinal bacteria indiscriminately.

Probiotics can also be an effective treatment for:

• diarrhea
• lactose intolerance
• irritable bowel syndrome
• vaginal yeast infections
• oral thrush
• Crohn's disease
• and ulcerative colitis

Probiotics have even been linked to improvements in autistic children and skin conditions such as eczema.

Take probiotic supplements whenever you're on antibiotics as soon as you start your course of medication and continue for a few days after you finish. Look for brands containing Lactobacillus (like HealthPro Nutrient's Probiotic).

Always check the expiration date and protect your supplements from heat, moisture, and air.

You can stay on probiotics indefinitely. The only reason to avoid them is if you have had an allergic reaction.

______________________________


We are often asked these questions:

• Why is it important to use Ai/E10 EVERY DAY?
• After the end of cold and flu season, why should I use Ai/E10?
• If I feel OK, why should I use Ai/E10?

These are really good questions and there are really important reasons to take Ai/E10 EVERY DAY all year long. Let's look more closely at the reasons.

The immune system carries out millions of actions EVERY DAY with no conscious instruction from us to do so and operates with a set of three imperatives relative to foreign invaders:

1. Recognize them.
2. Respond to their presence.
3. Remember how to respond to them effectively.

There are five factors that have been shown to interfere with the immune system's ability to execute its duties relative to the imperatives:

1. Stress.
2. Poor nutrition.
3. Toxins.
4. Infection.
5. Trauma.

Many people are surprised by the five factors and will ask, "Where is "cold and flu season" on the list"?

Cold and flu season is surely capable of putting additional stress on our immune function, but it is only one stress and probably is not the greatest for any of us. We do not need to remind anyone how much stress we all experience in our EVERYDAY lives.

These factors restrict immune system communication and reduce the immune system's effectiveness. This reduction in communication is represented physically in the body by a reduction in the number, variability and viability of immune communication cells available to carry out the imperatives.

Ai/E10 was designed to support your immune system as it carries out these millions of actions EVERY DAY, all year, by providing an orally absorbable source for replacement of relevant immune communication molecules that have been lost to stress, poor nutrition, toxins, infection and trauma. Ai/E10 has been produced in the United States from a private herd of dairy cows specially bred and maintained for this purpose since 1994.

Clinical experience has shown that the use of Ai/E10 begins to provide benefits immediately, but the full benefits are not achieved until after 30 to 45 days of continual use in most people. Since the majority of dietary supplements we take EVERY DAY, as well as the nutrients we absorb from food, are associated directly or indirectly with immune function, keeping immune communication working well all year makes our other supplementation more effective and allows us an opportunity to build immune capability and capacity to help support us when additional stress or other factors present themselves.

Using a monthly automatic shipment program assures you that Ai/E10 will be there for you and your family for EVERY DAY use, bringing the full benefit of its immune supporting capability so vital for a healthy lifestyle all year long.

San Francisco -- If doctors are ever going to find a way to attack and even cure Alzheimer's disease, they first need to know how to diagnose it -- ideally years, maybe even decades, before patients are symptomatic and their brain has been irreparably damaged.

That's why researchers around the country are intrigued by several promising new studies that highlight techniques for identifying Alzheimer's in the body long before people show the classic signs of memory loss and confusion.

A study that was released in August to much excitement among researchers suggested that a spinal fluid test could be very effective in identifying abnormal levels of amyloid, a protein that forms plaque buildups in the brains of people with Alzheimer's.

In the Bay Area, researchers at the University of California at San Francisco and Stanford are studying drugs that would serve as biomarkers in the body, attaching themselves to proteins like amyloid and letting doctors find those proteins more easily using imaging tests.

"It's exciting that we will likely soon have new tools that will allow us to detect Alzheimer's changes very early, even in people who are cognitively normal," said Dr. Adam Boxer , director of the Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia clinical trials program at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center. "If there were a treatment that could remove amyloid from the brain, then it would really be an exciting and powerful combination."

People are currently tested for Alzheimer's using a fairly lengthy, somewhat subjective process that starts with simple memory tests and interviews with patients and their family about problems they may be having from day to day. Those tests are accompanied by a physical examination, more thorough cognitive testing, and blood analysis and a brain-imaging scan.

The process is more about ruling out other diseases with similar symptoms -- such as a stroke or a benign brain tumor -- that may be easily treated. After the testing is over, doctors can reliably diagnose Alzheimer's with about 90 percent accuracy, but it can only be confirmed after death, when brain tissue can be studied under a microscope.

For patients and the doctors treating them, it's not necessarily important to definitively diagnose Alzheimer's because for now there's no cure for the disease. But for researchers, it's essential to be able to identify test subjects who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's so that they can focus on potential treatments.

Researchers hope that if doctors can find abnormal buildup of proteins before people become symptomatic, it may be easier to find effective treatments. Most studies of potential drug treatments for Alzheimer's have had disappointing results.

"Many (researchers) believe these studies may have failed because we started treating people too late," Boxer said. "The majority of people in studies have full-blown Alzheimer's disease, and it's a tall order to get treatments to work in these people.

It's hoped that by developing biomarkers, we could find it much earlier."

Most research into early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is centered around two proteins: amyloid beta, which is distinctive for the way it clumps up in the brain like plaque, and tau, which forms tangled strands in the brain when neurons die. Buildup of these proteins is common in the brains of deceased people who had Alzheimer's.

At Stanford, a team of researchers is participating in a national study of the drug florbetaben, which would act as a marker for amyloid and allow doctors to find the protein using certain imaging techniques. UCSF researchers, meanwhile, are looking for similar drugs that might be used a biomarkers for the tau protein.

The spinal fluid test, which was studied primarily at the University of Pennsylvania, involves performing a spinal tap on patients to look for signs of both proteins.

Dr. Marci Teresi , clinical lead of the Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Memory Clinic, said doctors are enthusiastic about the current research, but she doesn't expect such testing to be made widely available outside of research studies any time soon.

"It's mostly useful for investigational purposes, for finding people who want to participate in research studies," Teresi said.

"I don't think it's as practical for the large number of patients that are out there seeing their regular doctors."

In other words, patients with no Alzheimer's symptoms shouldn't start asking their doctors for advanced imaging tests any time soon. In fact, early testing could do more harm than good, some doctors say, if it causes patients anxiety and depression before they're showing signs of Alzheimer's. Some people with protein buildup in their brains never get Alzheimer's at all.

Still, there are advantages to screening older people who may be showing the first small signs of illness, said Dr. Catherine Madison , medical director of California Pacific Medical Center's Memory Clinic.

Several drugs can make life for patients more comfortable and slow down some of the worst effects of the disease, especially if the treatment is started early. Patients can also benefit from therapy and anti-depressants.

"There's no magic cure out there. Even if I could tell you that you were going to get dementia, would you want me to?" Madison said. "But we have medications that can help. We can slow the course of this and make it a whole lot better for patients and families."

LESS IS MORE

Except when you are getting less Ai/E10 for your money. 

1000’s are already experiencing health benefits from consistent use of Cell Balance and Cell Design. HealthPro Nutrient’s formulations and price value are unmatched by any other immune product on the market.

Cell Balance and Cell Design is our gift to you, please share it with everyone.

Probiotics in Their Purest Form...100% Vegan, No Yogurt Necessary

Most people in North America lack important probiotic bacteria normally found in healthy people that consume a diet based on plants, fibers, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Today’s highly processed commercial foods lack the healthful microorganisms that the body requires for a normal balanced microflora.

HealthPro Nutrient's Probiotic made with LactoSpore®, provides the good bacteria essential to maintaining a healthy immune system. LactoSpore is an intestinal probiotic enhancer designed to improve gastrointestinal function.

Normal intestinal balance of microorganisms can be disrupted by stress, disease, poor nutrition, toxins, and medications (i.e. antibiotics, immunosuppressant’s and gastric acid inhibitors) resulting in intestinal and systemic health disturbances.

Anyone who has taken antibiotics or other immune suppressing agents should take Probiotic during and afterwards. Probiotic does not cause gas or bloating.

A little more about LactoSpore:

LactoSpore grows in the small intestine where they add beneficial lactic acid to your digestive tract, which helps to eliminate potentially harmful bacteria present in our intestines. This reduces the symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, gas, and bloating caused by the presence of harmful organisms.

LactoSpore, L. sporogenes, is the Lactobacillus favored in infant nutritional programs, as recommend by the World Health Organization.

LactoSpore does not require refrigeration to maintain optimum potency. Lactospore is protected from destruction by environmental factors by the naturally present microencapsulating system, the spore coat. 

LactoSpore is 100% vegan.

Skin Care is So Much More Than Just Skin Deep

As you care for your skin topically with all the exciting new discoveries in facial gels, devices and medical treatments available to you today to slow the externally visible signs of aging do not neglect taking care to protect and nurture your skin from the "inside" as well.

When you use facial gels and spa devices in combination with great nutritional supplementation you provide a real means of support to your skin to help postpone the visible and "invisible" effects of aging. Industry analysts report that products to postpone aging will perhaps witness very strong demand in upcoming years.

The quality of the new cells you make every day is directly linked to the condition of your immune system. Good immune function will make your beauty regimen much more effective and long-lasting.

There are simply no supplements more important to the cell-building process than products that contain Ai/E10 because of Ai/E10's totally unique support for both adaptive and innate immunity. Remember to weave the unique benefit of an Ai/E10 product into your skin's beauty and destiny every day.

The HPN Answer
Ai/E10 is the only ingredient in CELL BALANCE and the primary ingredient in CELL DESIGN. CELL BALANCE is the ONLY product on the market that contains 200 mg per capsule of Ai/E10. Cell Design is a powerful immune system supplement formulated with nine key herbal and amino acid compounds in combination with 160 mg of the refined lacteal complex Ai/E10 for immune system support. This proprietary formula is by far the most comprehensive immune formula available.

Stomp Out Allergies With Ai/E10

Springtime and Immune Support

As we enjoy the arrival of spring, for many it means the beginning of the aggravation of seasonal allergies. Allergies arise from an abnormal, but very common, immune system response to otherwise harmless substances in the environment. That suggests the importance of keeping our immune systems in top condition not only in the winter months but spring as well. Taking a supplement containing Ai/E10 everyday will help give your immune system the support it needs throughout the seasons. 50 mg twice a day or 100 mg once a day for general support.

Boosting Immunity - Good or Bad?

Dietary supplement products often claim that they "boost" immunity. We see that as a "stimulant" approach...."boost" immunity like you try to boost your awareness and even energy levels with caffeine in coffee, soda, etc. You won't see that claim made for Ai/E10. Ai/E10 works uniquely to help the immune system return to a state of "dynamic balance" by supporting immune communication, a goal stimulation will not accomplish. Stimulation may have its place at times and in moderation, but it will not help to support the immune imperatives of "recognition" and "remember." Only Ai/E10 supports immunity so effectively in such a simple and safe manner.

How is Ai/E10 Performance Measured?

Ai/E10 supports B, T and NK Cell activity more effectively than any other supplement product. Its further ability to help balance or "modulate" immune activity makes it right for everyone.

Taking a supplement containing Ai/E10 everyday will help give your immune system the support it needs. 50 mg twice a day or 100 mg once a day for general support.

The HPN Answer
Ai/E10 is the only ingredient in CELL BALANCE and the primary ingredient in CELL DESIGN. CELL BALANCE is the ONLY product on the market that contains 200 mg per capsule of Ai/E10.

Using a sinus rinse once or twice a day when you are symptomatic might be very helpful. NeilMed Sinus Rinse Kits are inexpensive and available at all major drug store chains.

You May Be Too Fit To Be Healthy

Most people will want to be both fit and healthy, but therein lies a problem that people are not aware of. Most people think that fitness and health go hand in hand and that when you are fit that you are also healthy at the same time. Not so, fitness and health are two distinctly different concepts.  

Fitness and health are not the same  
Fitness is the ability to perform work, create physical energy, with well trained muscles and health is the absence of illness. These two are not mutually inclusive. If you concentrate on health improvement you will improve the health of muscles as well and it will improve their ability to produce energy, in other words it will improve overall fitness as well. On the other hand, if you concentrate on fitness improvement and a washboard stomach and other pleasant looking muscle groups, then your health will actually decline. That sounds crazy and totally at odds with what we have learned and what we believe about fitness and health. But that are new insight that can be better understood after reading www.PlasmaCirculation.com.

Blood circulation
Health requires better blood circulation through all the tissues in the body (vital organs, brain, joint tissue etc.) and fitness requires more blood circulation through muscles. It so happens that an increase of blood-flow through muscles will necessarily result in a decrease of blood-flow through all non-muscle cell tissues, resulting in less blood delivery to all these cell tissues. It means a decrease in delivery of nutrients, oxygen and disease fighting white blood cells (a most important part of our immune system) and that means a decrease in health and greater risk of cancer in all the cell tissues that get fewer white blood cells, oxygen and nutrients delivered to them.

Exercise creates blood flow through muscles at the expense of blood flow through all non-muscle tissue in the body (vital organs, brain etc.)
Exercise creates greater blood flow through the muscles that are producing energy during the exercise. Capillaries in the working muscles open up to a larger flow diameter. They dilate to a larger diameter as a result of lactic acid that is produced by the muscle cells that create the energy. with most exercise the flow diameter of the capillaries goes back to normal. With some exercises that greater blood flow through the fit muscles remains after the exercise when the person is no longer exercising. The blood flow through the fit muscles will still remain at a higher flow volume when the person is at rest and that means lower volume of blood through all other non-muscle cell tissues when the person is at rest and not only when that person is exercising. It means more fitness and less health.

But since most people equate fitness with health they will be wanting to do the kind of exercises that improve fitness and they will wind up decreasing their health. This explains then also why many highly fit people from the World of sports will often wind up with a lot of severe health problems in their mid-fifties and sixties and many will die in their mid fifties and sixties, many as a result of cancer. We then wonder how it is possible that these very fit people wind up with these big health problems and die, because we are stuck in the belief that fitness equals health.

Here is the explanation:
When you concentrate on creating maximum fitness, you will have to do very intense exercises that will increase blood-flow through muscles so that the increased blood-flow will deliver more “fuel” and oxygen to the muscles with which they can create more energy and perform more work (fitness). The problem is that an increase of blood-flow through these fit muscles means a decrease of blood-flow in all other cell-tissues in the body.

It now becomes clear
It now becomes clear why some very fit individuals such as athletes in certain sports are having serious health problems in their mid-fifties and sixties and why a number of them die in their mid-fifties and sixties. They have created too much permanent blood flow at rest through all their highly trained very fit muscles. Professional football players have an average lifespan of 52, much lower than the average population.

Many of the health problems are cancer related. That is also explained in http://www.plasmacirculation.com/

Low resting pulse rates
The people that have created a high degree of fitness and a lot of blood flow through highly trained muscles at rest, will have a low resting pulse rate. They now incorrectly believe that a low resting pulse rate is a good thing because it is as a result of being very fit. And since they believe that fitness means health, they will try to train for even more fitness that results in an even lower pulse rate at rest. They now are well on their way to less health and more illness. Very confusing right?

Why is their resting pulse low?
The main influence of resting pulse rate is the level of CO2 circulating in the blood. People that have developed a lot of bloodflow through muscles at rest will have less blood circulation through all non-muscle celltissues at rest. Not good for health and it makes for low levels of CO2 in the blood at rest, resulting in a low pulserate.

The Best Exercise is Explosive
Just like any other animal, the best way to keep your body in shape and your blood circulating properly is through explosive movement.  But how do you exercise like that without hurting yourself?  The answer is QuickGym.   

The QuickGym / ROM machine puts you through cardio performed at such an intense level that your body will spend the rest of the day expending energy to recover from the workout. This is commonly referred to as EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) and it means that you consume a great deal more oxygen recovering from the exercise than you would have if you'd just done a steady-state workout like jogging or walking. This means that you will be burning up to nine times more fat while sitting on the couch later that night than you would have if you'd spent an hour on the treadmill at a moderate pace.

High intensity training, also known as HIT training, has a number of benefits in addition to the reduction in training time. First of all, this type of training is far superior to steady-state exercises when it comes to increasing your VO2 max, which is the maximum amount of oxygen you can uptake during exercise. 

Besides, The best exercise is the one you will do!

WHAT'S IN YOUR WATER?

Your body is about 70% water. Keeping your body healthy is directly linked to hydration. You should be drinking HALF OF YOUR BODY WEIGHT in ounces of water.

A leading problem for millions of Americans, that is directly related to thousands of illnesses and diseases, is inflammation.

Click here to read the HPN blog on inflammation.

Inflammation is caused by toxins and chemicals that build up in your system. They never take a day off. Drinking lots of water every day helps flush them out.

However...

Tap Water Is NOT Safe
According to Time Magazine, tap water in America is not safe. "All told, there are about 3,000 prescription pharmaceuticals in use in the U.S. and thousands more over-the-counter drugs, not to mention creams and ointments we smear on and then shower off. 'Between cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other sources,' says John Spatz, commissioner of Chicago's department of water management, 'there are 80,000 potential combinations of chemicals.'

Wastewater from homes gets treated at sewage plants, but it's never possible to remove every trace of drugs. What's more, sewage pipes break, septic tanks overflow, and in some parts of the U.S. "straight-piping" — which sends untreated sewage flowing directly into surface water — is still practiced. One way or another, the drugs find their way back to us."

MOST Bottled Water Is Convenient, But NOT SAFER And NOT GOOD FOR YOU
"If you repeatedly test over 100 brands of bottled water, about a third will have a problem, and if you tested tap water that often, you will find something similar," says Erik Olson, director of advocacy for the nonprofit National Resources Defense Council.

Olson adds that with the exception of a few isolated pockets of truly bad drinking water, most municipal systems and most bottled water sources are fairly equal in terms of contaminants and other health and safety issues.

Additionally, many brands of water include ingredients like salt and additional additives that prevent your body from absorbing it. The result is often a waterlogged feeling feeling--instead of refreshing and energizing you...it actually weighs you down.

Water As An Investment In Your Health
The best possible alternative is to find water that is science-based and formulated to be of the best possible benefit to your body. Why pay for just water, and especially bad water, when the water your body needs can also:

• enhance the absorption of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins and other important nutrients
• speed fatigue recovery
• maintain healthy circulation
• support a healthy immune system

HealthPro Nutrient has researched, and now recommends, Evolv Water. Evolv Water has been specially formulated through a unique process that has been perfected, refined, and now patented after 15 years of scientific research. The colorless and flavorless Archaea Active™ formula combines with natural spring water to deliver the health benefits of good hydration with optimal oxygen utilization and increased stamina, energy, and endurance.

Comparing the cost of a bottle of Evolv to a bottle of water found in the grocery store is like comparing apples and oranges. With Evolv, the water is free. What you are paying for is the unique Archaea Active formula. The spring water Evolv uses is the best source for delivering nutrients throughout your body.

HealthPro Nutrient recommends drinking Evolv water instead of other bottled waters. However, a great alternative is to drink 2-3 Evolv waters each day and then supplement for the rest of your ounces with Fuji or Smart water. Remember, you need to drink HALF of your body weight in ounces of water each day.

Interesting note: Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in/on your body?  Did you know that it needs water, and lots of it, to thrive?  Don't be mean to your skin and starve it of what it needs!

Why Do You...Age? Get Sick? Get Diseases?

This might seem hard to believe, but we as humans don't actually age, we don't get sick, and we don't get diseases.  Our cells do.

Our body's health is dependent on our cells' health. So to slow down aging, limit sickness, and prevent disease, we must protect and properly feed our cells.  

If you were to put buttermilk in your car's gasoline tank...it would get a "disease" and stop working.

This blog is the first of several entries on this subject, as it is important for all HealthPro Nutrient customers, distributors, and friends to learn as much as possible about how your body works, and how to keep it nourished and healthy.  We have the secret to the best health care plan possible.

That health care plan is knowledge. 

What Are Cells Made Of? 

Cells are made up of many atoms.  When these atoms are healthy, the cells replicate (make an exact copy) and keep the body young, well, and disease free. What makes an atom healthy is that it has "paired" electrons (yellow dots). 

How Do Cells Age, Get Sick, And Get Diseases?

Atoms missing an electron (yellow dot) are not just "bad", they actually destroy surrounding atoms by stealing their electrons.  An atom missing an electron is called a Free Radical. Free Radicals alter or destroy cells. Cells that die, and cells that replicate in a damaged state, are the cause or contribute to premature aging, sicknesses, and diseases such as cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and many others.

Where Do Free Radicals Come From?

• smoking
• stress
• UV rays
  
• pesticides
• pollution
• medications
• certain foods
• food additives
• x-rays
• excessive exercise
• chlorine
• mercury
• many more 

Free radicals come from pollution released into our environment all over the world.

Free radicals come from pesticides and insecticides put on our plants, grass, weeds, and in our air.

Free radicals come from water treated with chlorine to make it "safe" for drinking.

One cigarette generates approximately one quadrillion free radicals (1,000,000,000,000,000).

The Solution Is Antioxidants

Antioxidants have "extra" electrons (yellow dots) that can give to free radicals, which eliminate their harmful effects.

Antioxidants are your body's defense against destructive free radicals. Therefore they are your defense against aging, sickness, and disease.

Part 2 in this series will provide you with information about how antioxidants neutralize free radicals and reduce your risk of disease.

Vitamin D Emerges as Treatment for Prostate Cancer - Cuts PSA Levels by Half

Treatment with vitamin D supplements may slow the progress of prostate cancer, according to a study published in the journal BJU International.

In the United States, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men, after lung cancer. Approximately 240,000 new cases are diagnosed every year, leading to 30,000 deaths.

Researchers have suspected for nearly two decades that the so-called "sunshine vitamin" may play a role in the risk and progression of prostate cancer, but no studies have previously been conducted on its usefulness as a treatment.

"It's very interesting - there has been no significant trial of vitamin D," said lead researcher Jonathan Waxman of Imperial College London. "This is a treatment which is unlikely to have significant toxicity and is a welcome addition to the therapeutic options for patients with prostate cancer."

Waxman decided to do the study when he learned of a prostate cancer patient who recovered after his wife bought vitamin D pills for him. Waxman and colleagues recruited 26 men with prostate cancer and assigned them each to take a daily vitamin D supplement. In five of the men, reductions in levels of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) were reduced.

In men with prostate cancer, PSA levels are an indicator of disease severity. One participant experienced a decrease in PSA levels less than 25 percent, two experienced decreases of between 25 and 50 percent, and two experienced decreases of more than 50 percent. In one of the participants, PSA levels remained reduced for a full 36 months.

Vitamin D is synthesized by the body upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. It plays a critical role in calcium absorption and bone health, and deficiency in the vitamin can lead to rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. Recent research has also suggested that vitamin D can help prevent autoimmune disorders and a variety of chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Some scientists have stated that if everyone increased the amount of time they spent in the sun, far more lives would be saved from cancers prevented than would be lost from increased skin cancer cases.

A light-skinned person can get enough vitamin D from getting 15 minutes of sun on the face and hands each day, while a darker skinned person might need up to 45 minutes. More sun exposure is needed at more extreme latitudes.

A connection between vitamin D and prostate cancer was first suggested in 1990, when researchers suggested that the vitamin might tie together a variety of observed risk factors for the disease. A wide body of research has demonstrated that prostate cancer risk is higher at northern latitudes (where people get less vitamin D), among older people (with reduced vitamin D synthesis) and black people (who absorb less UV rays). Researchers have also found that men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the summer or autumn, when vitamin D levels tend to be highest, have a better prognosis than men diagnosed in winter or spring.

In 1992, researchers also suggested that higher vitamin D consumption in Japan might account for lower rates of prostate cancer there, relative to the United States. Japanese men consume more fatty fish, which is high in both vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids that increase the vitamin's stability in the body, and soy, which slows the rate at which bodily vitamin D breaks down.

Since then, studies have found that many prostate cancer cells contain vitamin D receptors, and that vitamin D can inhibit the growth of some of these cells.

Researchers also hypothesize that vitamin D might inhibit the action of the androgen receptor, which produces male sex hormones that have been linked to the disease.

Vitamin D3 can be found in the HealthPro Nutrient products YouthD3, CoreMatrix and the multi-vitamin EC Men and Women formulas.

Youth D3 is also a powerful antioxidant which provides optimal protection and integrity to biological systems in the body.

Indulge...Just Be Prepared

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday for showing appreciation to those we love and live our lives with. We want to celebrate and we don't want to think about whether we ate too much, or how much sugar our bodies are trying to process, or whether or not we should have that extra piece of pie. Honestly, who can say no to one more piece of Grandma's Pumpkin Pie? Or better yet, who should?

We say eat all you want this holiday season...just be prepared!

The HealthPro Nutrient Detox Program is formulated to help your body process what you eat.

Why Is This Important? 

Because of genetics, diet, lifestyle, processed foods, and toxic environments, we are all at risk for compromised digestion. This often leads to weakened immune function, fatigue, hormone imbalance, digestive disorders, and disease.
 

Our Detox bundle addresses all of these issues and more, leading to a more balanced and efficient digestive and immune system.

Why Are 5 Products Necessary? 

Each of these products have a different purpose, and provide a different level of support, working together to create a cohesive and complete system of support. This also allows you to control your dosage of each product according to your very specific needs.  for instance, someone who has just taken antibiotics may want to take the maximum dosage of Probiotic. 

Also, some ingredients, like those you will find in Life Line or ClearBody, are best served in liquid form and therefore don't travel as well.  If you are traveling this holiday, you can take Probiotic, Digestive Enzymes, and Regulier with you as they pack easily and won't cause any headache at the airport.

What Does Each Product Do? 

ClearBody clears our body of toxins, enhances our metabolism, and increases endurance.

Digestive Enzymes are the catalyst which allows us to break down foods into absorbable nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids. Digestive Enzymes help to promote a healthy stomach.

Probiotic provides the good bacteria essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and helping to maintain normal intestinal balance that can be disrupted by stress, disease, poor nutrition, toxins, and medications (i.e. antibiotics) resulting in intestinal and systemic health disturbances.

Regulier is an herbal formulation that establishes healthy elimination of toxins and free radicals to maintain a healthy balance in the body. Regulier contains Calcium Bentonite Clay, the body's natural pH balancer.

LifeLine has the very best antioxidant compounds available for cell enhancement, weight managment, and mitochondrial support (mitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular power plants" because they generate most of the cell's supply of chemical energy.)

Don't just take Tums because of an upset stomach.  There is a REASON your stomach is upset, or that you have heart-burn.  There is also a REASON they call it WASTE!  You want to get rid of it!  You want your body to process what you eat in a way so that the heart-burn, upset stomach, and myriad of other symptoms don't show up in the first place!

A Pre-New Year's Resolution

If your New Year's Resolution is going to be to "get healthy" or "lose weight", give yourself the best chance of not only starting that goal, but finishing it.  Don't "wait until the holidays are over".  Prepare your body for the increased consumption of refined sugars, calories, and fat.  Get your digestive and immune system primed so that you can process it better.  It will be much easier to keep your resolutions if you do.  Not doing so is like putting two soldiers up against an army and asking them to sort of "chip away" at the oncoming slaughter.

Why HealthPro Nutrient?

Just keep in mind this one last fact...our bodies are amazing machines, capable of amazing things.  But our world and our habits, or lifestyles and behaviors, wear these amazing systems down.  They need help.

That's where we come in.  Our Goal at HealthPro Nutrient is your wellness.  And our products are the best, scientifically designed by doctors who understand the inner-workings of our bodies and what's missing or lacking.  Also, our prices are reasonable and if you like the products, you have the opportunity to pass on that message and earn money for doing so!  We think of it as a customer-owned company.

Get To Know Vitamin D

Vitamin D has received a lot of attention lately. As its health implications become more and more apparent through research, it is becoming evident that a significant proportion of the population has inadequate blood levels of the vitamin. It is estimated that up to 58% of US adolescents and adults are deficient. Chronic vitamin D deficiency and its consequences represent a major public health challenge. This article is intended to increase understanding of vitamin D and promote awareness of its connection to health and well-being, through a series of questions and answers.

What is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D actually refers to a number of distinct, but related compounds. Differentiating between these compounds is necessary in order to fully appreciate this important substance. When exposed to sunlight, the skin synthesizes cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3. Cholecalciferol can also be taken as a supplement. After it is produced in the skin or ingested, it undergoes a two-step modification by the liver and kidneys. The first step yields calcidiol, which serves as an intermediate, storage form. Calcidiol is later activated to become calcitriol, which functions as a steroid hormone in the body.

Why is Vitamin D Important?

Vitamin D has been synthesized by life on earth for more than 750 million years. This fact alone suggests that vitamin D is a fundamental component of physiology and health. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is located inside virtually every cell in the body. It is the target of activated calcitriol. After calcitriol binds to its receptor, the resulting complex functions to regulate DNA expression. This process affects more than 2000 genes. Some genes are activated and others are suppressed by the action of vitamin D. Through such genetic control, vitamin D ultimately directs the activity of hundreds of enzymes and proteins. This is perhaps the strongest evidence for its vital role.

What are the Effects of Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is well known for its role in calcium absorption and bone metabolism. However, this is only one of many important health benefits that vitamin D has to offer. It is also known for its anti-inflammatory effects, anti-cancer activity and its ability to strengthen the immune system. The capacity to regulate DNA itself means that vitamin D influences the very foundations of biochemistry, giving it the power to positively impact all body systems and harness the body's innate healing ability.

What Evidence Exists for the Benefits of Vitamin D?

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with at least 17 varieties of cancer, along with many other chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. This may appear to be a tremendous claim. However, the relationship between vitamin D and disease is easy to recognize once you understand that it is integrated into our physiology, acting as one of the keys to normal cellular activity.

FOCUS ON BRAIN HEALTH: Vitamin B12 Deficiency can Look Identical to Alzheimer's Disease

The article below talks about the dangers of a Vitamin B12 deficiency.  Vitamin B12 can be found in the HealthPro Nutrient brain formulas:

• BrainActivate and 
• BrainRestore.

HPN uses the optimal and more expensive form of vitamin B12 called methylcobalamin.

For optimal brain health also look to Omega 3-6-9, C+CoQ10, and LifeLine.

============================================================================

When is Alzheimer`s Disease NOT Alzheimer`s Disease? When it`s actually caused by undiagnosed Vitamin B12 deficiency. This frequent occurrence is a tragedy in our society where growing numbers of those with Alzheimer`s Disease are diagnosed every year. Despite having IDENTICAL symptoms in many cases, vitamin B12 deficiency is almost NEVER considered as a possible cause.

Alzheimer`s Disease is a growing personal and family problem as well as a HUGE financial burden for society. And with over 4 million people in the US alone who have been diagnosed with this 'incurable' disease, Alzheimer`s Disease is becoming an ever growing crisis. Governments around the world are attempting to combat this problem by spending millions of dollars every year on research for drugs, stem cell treatment, genetic manipulation and pharmaceuticals- yet nothing has been found to effectively stop or slow its insidious spread. However, doctors in clinical practice are completely overlooking a SIMPLE cause of this problem that could stop the disease in its tracks. The scientific evidence is VERY CLEAR that the symptoms of Alzheimer`s Disease could be RADICALLY improved in many cases if a trial of high dose vitamin B12 were instituted soon after diagnosis.

Vitamin B12 deficiency, also called cobalamin deficiency, becomes more and more common as people get older and some researchers estimate that over 800,000 elderly in the US have undiagnosed deficiency. Yet because few clinicians are trained to look for its symptoms, many elderly who SHOULD be screened for this simple vitamin deficiency are, instead, diagnosed with `incurable` neurologic diseases. These mental changes from vitamin B12 deficiency were first described as far back as 1902, with much research having been done since that time. Many times, these changes are accompanied by lesions and degeneration of the brain and spinal cord on medical imaging that doctors use as evidence of the irreversible nature of this disease. Astoundingly, when these degenerative changes are caused by Vitamin B12 Deficiency, they are actually REVERSIBLE if high dose therapy is started soon after diagnosis!

Not only is medical imaging worthless in determining which cases will benefit from Vitamin B12 therapy, but blood testing has little value either. Since the 1950's, several studies have shown that cases of dementia that respond well to vitamin B12 therapy often have completely normal Vitamin B12 blood tests. Yet 50 years later, doctors still rely EXCLUSIVELY on blood testing and medical imaging to determine the need for Vitamin B12 therapy. These studies are clearly showing that a trial regimen of high dose vitamin B12 is absolutely warranted with cases of new onset dementia regardless of the results of medical testing. Yet modern medicine is simply NOT paying attention, and this extraordinarily safe therapy that costs less than $100 is virtually NEVER instituted. As a result, Alzheimer`s patients who COULD have benefited if B12 therapy were instituted soon after diagnosis are left with no memory and no hope.
