A Natural Alternative to Flu Shots.
by Eric Robert Santiago on 11/25/12
Triple Flu Defense is taken once per week for optimum defense throughout the flu season – October to May – and can be started at any time. If you are experiencing flu symptoms, it is taken 3 times per day until symptoms subside. It is a natural homeopathic formula that is safe for the entire family.
There are many different influenza viruses and they are continually mutating to form new strains. Just like with the flu vaccine, what worked in previous years may not work well during the current flu season. Using CDC*, WHO** and patient data, we take the extra time and expense to reformulate each year for maximum effectiveness in fighting the current influenza viruses.
Other natural flu formulas take either a “single” or “kitchen sink” approach. The “single” approach focuses on just one homeopathic remedy or herbal ingredient. This leaves some cases vulnerable. The “kitchen sink” approach includes many, non-specific remedies which actually minimizes the efficacy of the formula. Dr. Nenninger’s experience shows that neither approach is as effective as a targeted combination formula based on the most current data on influenza viruses.
Homeopathy has been practiced across the globe for over 200 years. Homeopathy uses a safe, natural approach to medicine that strengthens the body’s immune system and innate healing response. Homeopathic remedies, unlike conventional drugs such as antibiotics, do not kill germs but rather stimulate the immune system to do the healing. That is why germs can never develop a resistance to homeopathic remedies.
During the 1918 flu pandemic, one of most severe pandemics in the last century, homeopathic medicine proved extremely effective. A report on the 1918 pandemic to the American Institute of Homeopathy documented a 70% survival rate with conventional medical care versus 98% with homeopathic medicine.
Better Defense for Seasonal Changes
by Eric Robert Santiago on 10/21/12
It's that time of year to think about maintaining your first line of defense: your immune system. Changes in the weather and other aggressive environmental factors can weaken your immune system, along with stress, unhealthy diets, and lack of exercise. Help bolster your immune system with healthier lifestyle choices, and by replenishing nutrients essential to healthy immune function. Take a proactive stance. These approaches help you build a healthy "core" defense on a daily basis (and provide support when you need it most): High potency vitamin C to enhance the body's natural defense system. Bioavailable vitamin D for long-term immune support. Health-enhancing mushrooms (shiitake, reishi, fu-ling, cordyceps, maitake) offer a time-tested approach to a healthy defense system. Essential zinc to keep your mucosal membrane strong and boost production of white blood cells and natural killer cells. Oleanolic acid shown in preliminary studies to enhance total white blood count for a stronger immune defense. Selenium for antioxidant protection and healthy white blood cell activity. Probiotics (Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®) help promote balanced digestive microflora to support immune function. When the storm hits. Even those who are well prepared can still experience some effects that leave them feeling run down. The following natural approaches are often recommended for an immune system under stress: Andrographis, an Ayurvedic herb traditionally used to support upper respiratory and immune health. Traditional Chinese herbs for lung support, including mulberry, apricot, gardenia, and pear extracts. Traditional Chinese herbs for seasonal immune support, such as forsythia, licorice, platycodon, schizonepeta, and ginger extracts. Traditional Chinese herbs for nasal and sinus support, including astragalus, angelica, xanthium, and cinnamon extracts.
Stressed Out over Politics?
by Eric Robert Santiago on 10/02/12
Wednesday night should be very interesting for some of us and quite and stress-full for others. Stress is the root of many illnesses and bothersome symptoms. Everyone has stress, but it affects us differently. Stimuli (called stressors) cause the stress response to spring into action. Momentary stress can cause temporary tension or nervous energy, such as feeling wired, anxious, or hot. But a prolonged stress response can offset normal body maintenance and leave you weak, tired, or emotionally exhausted. Managing Your Stress Your personal stressors and how you respond are unique. You don’t have to avoid your stressors—just use healthy ways to relieve or manage them. Here are a few tips: Be armed with quick and long-term stress relievers to help you repel the effects of stress. Be smart about “hand-to-mouth” responses. If stress makes you eat, then have healthy choices handy. Caffeine and nicotine can also increase stress. Be active to relieve stress quickly and build your immune system. Be rested and make time to relax—even in small chunks. Nutritional Support Can Help Each stress response “type” has its own intensity, symptoms, and characteristics. Identifying these can help us recommend targeted nutritional support, such as rehmannia, licorice, polygala, ginseng, holy basil, and other plant extracts. These herbal “adaptogens” can help balance the natural events of the stress response—to help you manage stress better. So go get yourself some Ginseng tea and licorice drops before the presidential debates Wednesday night, load up on "adaptogens", and don't let them get to you....

Avoiding Omega 3 pitfalls

Avoiding omega-3 pitfalls
Not all omega-3 (e.g., EPA, DHA) formulas offer the same health support or qualityor meet label claims for active ingredients. And there are often health and safety reasons behind a healthcare professional's rec
Concern: Contamination. Some fish oil products may contain excessive levels of harmful toxins, such as heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs). They may also contain potentially harmful bacteria (e.g., salmonella), yeast, and mold.
OmegaGenics Advantage: Purity Guaranteed. OmegaGenics fish oil formulas are produced in Norwegian pharmaceutical-licensed facilities and third-party tested for over 250 contaminants. Plus additional in-house tests for common bacteria, yeast, and mold, as well as testing for shelf stability.
Concern: Rancidity. Fish oil is unstable and can quickly become spoiled and oxidized. Some companies may not test adequately for rancidity in production or take extra steps to protect the product during storage, transport, and normal use.
OmegaGenics Advantage: Antioxidant Stabilized. OmegaGenics fish oil formulas are third-party tested for rancidity and fortified with natural antioxidants to maintain freshness.
Concern: Low Potency. Some products may not actually contain the amount of omega-3s listed on labelscompromising expected benefits and value.
OmegaGenics Advantage: Concentrated Omega-3s. OmegaGenics formulas are tested in-house and by a leading third-party facility to ensure omega-3 content meets or exceeds label claimfor reliable dosing and dependable value.
Concern: Fishy Aftertaste. Omega-3s from fish oil dont have to taste (or smell) like fish to work well.
OmegaGenics Advantage: No "Fishy" Taste! OmegaGenics formulas begin with cleaner oils for a cleaner tasteand natural fruit flavors and enteric-coated options make them taste even better.
Concern: Unspecified Applications. EPA and DHA offer different health benefits when used separately or in combination. Some fish oil products may offer a one-size-fits-all approach, making it difficult to determine ideal use.*
OmegaGenics Advantage: Targeted Formulas. OmegaGenics offers a comprehensive line of 11 omega-3 formulas, including EPA-DHA blends, a concentrated EPA formula, and concentrated DHA formulas. In addition to different dosages, the OmegaGenics line also offers a variety of delivery forms, including liquids, softgels, and chewable gels.

Get a Head Start on Healthy Living with Concentrated DHA
by Eric Robert Santiago on 09/04/12
DHA offers targeted health support. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are 2 important omega-3 essential fatty acids that are often recommended in balanced ratios for general health maintenance. But DHA alone also provides targeted health support for “growing” adults—much like it does for growing babies. A concentrated DHA supplement can help adults maintain areas of health key for active lifestyles, including healthy cardiovascular function, eyes, and memory and other cognitive functions.* For those concerned about healthy living, DHA may offer greater peace of mind than a general “fish oil” supplement.
Sustain health and the environment with eco-friendly, concentrated DHA. High DHA™ is the first purity-certified, sustainable, and concentrated DHA for targeted health support. It provides a 10:1 ratio of DHA to EPA in lemon-flavored softgels for specific health needs.* And it's a “greener” type of omega-3 supplement made from calamari that are resilient to overfishing and are caught by ocean-friendly fisheries with no damage to other species or the ocean floor—making it one of the most sustainable sources of marine oil to date. High DHA is also refined and purity-certified in accordance with high quality standards to protect against levels of potentially harmful heavy metals and other common contaminants. The quality of your omega-3 supplement means a lot more than just ensuring great taste.
So get your head start on healthy living—and promote a healthier environment—with High DHA.
