My Son | Satriani Love Thing

My Son Plays Satriani’s Love Thing

My Son played lead guitar on Joe Satriani “Love Thing” in dedication to his sister and brother-in-law at their recent wedding celebrations. We all loved this beautiful and moving song (though it has no lyrics, being an instrumental ballad).

His first guitar was an Ibanez because he is a big fan of Joe Satriani. In this video, he plays the same brand of guitars  Satriani uses on many of his songs including the Love Thing.

Recently we bought him a Fender Stratocaster guitar and he asked how is he going to pay back the cost of this rather expensive guitar.  I said, “Pay back in (good school) Grades”. Which he did!

I am really proud of him for the dedication and the hard work he has put into it.  Even though he has been playing guitar daily for the past 14 months, his academic grades have not dropped.  In fact, his point average has improved achieving As or A+ in all his subjects.

What I find amazing is that he had not shown any interest in music until he started schooling in ACS(I) in 2008.  In fact, his typical response to  primary school’s music classes was: “I’m not very good at it”.

I guess, it was when he started going to rock concerts that he began to enjoy the feel of live music and appreciate the musical instruments more deeply.

It just goes to show that all teens need is a purpose and goal in life and they will do just fine.

Studies show that teens go to traumatic changes between 13-20 years of age as discussed in Michael J. Bradley’s excellent book (also available in audiobook format): “Yes, Your Teen is Crazy!: Loving Your Kid Without Losing Your Mind” Michael J. Bradley’s (a psychologist using current brain research) book  uses real life  examples in a humorous way to explain why teens seem to routinely cruise out of control and what parents can do to guide them back to the real world -  away from the unintentional end game of self-destruction, unproductive distractions and bad relationships.

Teens may not show that they need their parents (other than financial support). But they do! Show them how to cope with the stresses of changes, both physically and emotionally, and you will have children who will be happy for the rest of  their lives.

Most of all, love them for who they are rather than who you want them to be.

Show them love, give them encouragement, don’t be discouraged if they blow-up in your face – and everything else will work out for themselves.  Remember, teen years is a temporary phase, just like childhood.  Look for the longer term relationship with your child – when they finally become adults just like you and me.

Best High Protein Food

Best High Protein Foods:

This list shows which foods are high in proteins.  The protein from our food provides essential amino acids. Amino Acids are used by the body to build new proteins and repair the muscles, repair the bone, skin, organs and blood. Without protein, cuts and abrasions will not heal quickly, muscles will not grow and the blood doesn’t clot correctly. Your body needs proteins for growth and to build hormones, antibodies and the enzymes that regulate the chemical reactions within the body.Though protein food is not a high source of energy, it is necessary, in right amounts, for proper functioning of our bodies.

The List of the Best High Protein Foods

prioritized in order of nutritional value are:

1. Whey (supplement found in health food stores)
2. Legumes: peas, beans & lentils
3. Soy products: tofu, soy milk
4. Grains: breads, pasta, brown rice (preferably whole grains with minimal processing)
5. Nuts & Seeds: almonds, oatmeal, walnuts, cashews,peanuts, etc / pumpkin, sunflower, sesame & other seeds
6. Vegetables: potatoes, broccoli, spinach and other vegetables (incl. frozen veggies)
7. Eggs: preferably 2-minute boiled eggs. Although the egg yolk has the highest levels of protein, it is recommended you eat the egg whole as egg white counter-balances the negative effects of the yolk.
8. Fish & Seafood: salmon, tuna, haddock, swordfish, orange roughly, crab, lobster, shrimp
9. Dairy: yogurt, milk, cottage cheese
10. Poultry: chicken breast, turkey breast, lean ground turkey
11. Lean Meats: round steak, sirloin steak, lean ground beef, pork, buffalo.

The list below gives a comparison list of Animal Protein Foods and Plant and Dairy Protein Foods.  It is important to balance our intake of protein foods with essential fats and complex carbohydrates. It will be useful for people who want to slim down and lose weight: We need to consume about 50 – 60 grams of protein food per day. This works out to about 8 ounces, or 225 grams of meat per day.  People who are physically active may need to have a high intake of proteins.  As can be seen from the table below, plants are also high in proteins and are a good source of proteins from breakfast to dinner and even snacks if eaten in the right proportion / combination.

Foods High in Protein. Food from plants also contain protein equivalent to meats but without the fats and calories.

How To Achieve Maximum Fat | Weight Loss

Having trouble slimming down or losing weight? Here are some practical diet tips on how you can achieve maximum fat and weight loss.

By making a minor shifts in your caloric intake, you can effectively maximize the beneficial effects from our proprietary fat loss drink – Bios Life Slim and quickly lose fat and weight and have that perfect makeover figure you had always yearned for all these years…  The effectiveness of this diet program varies from person to person depending on your body size and lifestyle choices.

The focus of this product (Bios Life Slim) is to give the body the right kind of nutrients to support vibrant health as the body begins to balance its hunger hormones and effectively use the foods we eat.

To complete this re-balancing may take up to 90 days and some patience is advised. It is unreasonable to expect a total body transformation within a month or two when it took years to create that not-so-flattering  “Flabby And Thick” Problem – though for many people the transformation has been nothing short of remarkable with Slim.

You may find that your body may require more supplemental support to get the best results. This due to the fact that our foods are full of chemicals (some potentially dangerous) today and many are devoid of complete nutrient values.

Get rid of those fats now

How To Effectively Achieve Maximum Fat | Weight Loss with Bios Life Slim

1. Eat a Protein-based Breakfast – No Carbs. Proteins in the morning gets your metabolism off to a fast start. It causes your body to use up its fat stores, convert them to glucose and burn them off as your “early day” energy. ◊ Reduce your consumption of high glycemic foods such as sugar, pasta, white rice and white flour (e.g. breads). Processed and excessively sweet foods drive insulin up fast and keep it up long and that pretty much eliminates any fat burning for hours. ◊ Protein will help reduce hunger pangs for the morning and give you sustain energy throughout the day. You have only about half an hour to 1 hour after rising  from bed to get proteins to your body system. ◊ If taking a protein breakfast is a problem, you could take a protein meal replacement like Unicity’s Soy Protein drink supplement.  As protein foods are acidic, it is best to balance proteins with alkaline foods so as to ensure balanced nutritional diet. Click here for the Best High Protein Foods (from plants and animals)
2. No mid-day or mid-morning Snacking +++ let the Bios Life Slim work on your body to re-sensitize to your own leptin (the hormone that controls the amount of fat the body stores).  Don’t snack in between meals – every food item you put in your mouth produces some glucose in your bloodstream, glucose causes your pancreas to produce insulin (the more glucose to hit your bloodstream at one sitting the higher the insulin spike). Insulin stops your body from burning its own fat stores (free fatty acids) for energy which causes you to get hungry more often–it really is a vicious fat STORING cycle, but you can break it with Slim. ◊ If you must snack, eat a handful of raw almonds instead of packaged / processed foods.  Unprocessed almonds are rich in anti-oxidants, has anti-cholesterol properties and considered a longevity and brain food.
3. Eat Lunch – Meal skipping will slow down Metabolism. You may have some complex Carbohydrates (wherever possible, always choose whole grains foods – not processed or simple carbs) at lunch because you will have the rest of the day to burn it off. Carbs if not utilized by the body right away, will be converted and stored in the body as fat very quickly. Research has shown that the body will convert unused carbs to fat if it remains in the body for more than 4 hours.  ◊ Simple carbohydrates are usually considered to be “bad” CARBS. These are carbs that have been processed and broken down before being put back together again in an unnatural way such as to produce a sweet product like chocolate or biscuits. ◊ Natural carbohydrates (whole foods like unprocessed grains and nuts) are the best carbos to include in the diet, especially if you are trying to lose weight.
4. Eat Vegetables & Protein for Dinner – either salads or steamed vegetables —- Absolutely NO Simple Carbs or Starches for dinner. Fruits and vegetables have a high water content and are an excellent way to “bulk up” on your food intake without being overloaded with fattening calories.  It also provides an wonderful meal experience that can make you a feel “full” until breakfast. ◊ Fruits and vegetables should always be taken before meats and other foods. Fruits and Vegetables  provides  fiber and enzymes which are necessary for the proper absorption of nutrients from foods. Bios Life Slim also supplements your  natural fiber shortfall – as most of us are unable to meet the Ministry of Health’s minimum of five or more servings of fruit and vegetables every day – specifically three vegetables and two pieces of fruit.  ◊ Be mindful that lots of fruits are high in fructose which can spike up your insulin levels.  The best fruits are:

   Coconut, Berries, Olives, Papaya, Avocado, Mango, Pineapple, Guava & Kiwi

   Fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are highly nutritious. The best fruit juice drink is cranberry juice (even if it is a cocktail  drink made from cranberries pulp or concentrate. ◊ Also, eating Yogurt (that have at least 3 types of beneficial live bacteria) once a day will greatly compliment the fiber in Slim. You  can eat Yogurt with berries for the snack you may want in the evening (or mornings).

5. Walking each day is recommended as your Exercise — the target is 5-7000 steps a day.  Avoid high impact or strenuous exercises as excessive loss of energy will make you feel hungry leading to an increased calorie intake – thus negating the beneficial effects of exercising.  ◊ A recent study in Japan found that the participants had a greater amount of fat breakdown (or lipolysis) during the repeated exercise session than the single session. For an example, two 30-minute workouts with a 20-minute rest in between, and a 60-minute recovery period at the end (repeated).  ◊ Fat / Weight loss through rigorous exercise or starvation diets usually  lasts only as long as the program is continued.  Once the program is stopped, the person usually tends to regain almost all the fat  / weight that had been lost.   ◊ Rigorous exercise should be undertaken only after you have achieved your desired fat and weight loss goals. For such exercises, start modestly and gradually build up momentum over the period of days / weeks.  ◊ Research has shown that exercising while listening to music helps to Reduce Stress, Improves Healing and Boost Brain Power.
6. Drink 8-10 glasses of Water a day.  Water gives you a feeling of “fullness” and keep you from feeling hungry until your next main meal.  ◊ If you take lots of fruits, vegetables, soups and other healthy drinks like fruit juices, this can also be considered as “glasses of water” consumed.  But note that fruit juices and other liquids may contain lots of sugar  (and calories) – even all-natural ones pressed directly from fruits.  So water is the practical alternative to quenching your thirst and supplementing your meals. ◊ Teas are also healthy but avoid coffee and sodas (sugared drinks) at all cost.  Alcohol intake should be moderated – preferably limited to 2-3 glasses of wine per meal, if any at all.
7. Watch Your Calorie Count. The key to downsizing a bulky or less than favorable figure is to manage your appetite.  Check and make sure you are not eating more calories than you are using (burning up) on a daily basis.  ◊ If you want to accelerate fat loss / weight loss, you should seriously consider cutting your food intake to half of the plate portions normally eaten.  This can be easily done by cutting down on carbohydrates such as rice and noodles and having more vegetables instead.  ◊ Starvation diets are not recommended as it will deny you of a balanced diet resulting in  a daily nutrient deficit which is detrimental to long term optimal health.
8. Eat slowly & Chew well. By eating slowly, you allow your brain to catch up with your stomach and by chewing well you will maximize the effect of Bios Life Slim.  Eating slowly and in a relaxed manner helps gives you a feeling of having eaten a full meal that will last you through the 4-4-12 meal cycle. By maintaining a regular eating pattern, you train your body to eat only when and what it is necessary for a normal day’s activity.  The daily meal routine should be as follows:

• 4 hours between breakfast-lunch
• 4 hours between lunch-dinner
• 12 hours between dinner-breakfast

You may take the pleasant orange juice tasting BiosLife Slim drink up to 3 times a day, one serving before all 3 main meals – preferably 5-15 minutes before meals.

If some of the benefits of Slim are not seen within 6 weeks, check your hormones levels such Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone.

Bios Life Slim | Clinical Study

Clinical Study Conducted on the Effects of Bios Life Slim Ingredients on Type 2 Diabetes

Last year, Dr. Peter Verdegem, Unicity Chief Science Officer, and Franchise Owners Dr. Isabel Martinez, MD, and Bobbi Horne, both from Blue Mesa Medical Associates in Katy, TX, presented the results from a clinical study conducted to study the effect of Biosphere Fiber on type 2 diabetes.

Biosphere Fiber, a component of Bios Life Slim, is comprised of a proprietary blend of Guar Gum, Gum Arabic, Locust Bean Gum, Citrus Pectin, Oat Fiber, Maltodextrin, and Beta Glucan.

The study was conducted on 34 patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. The study participants took Biosphere Fiber twice daily 15 to 20 minutes before meals. The study measured lipid and glucose levels at the start of the study, and then after 4 weeks, and again after 8 weeks.

The study concluded that after taking Biosphere Fiber for 8 weeks:

Lipid and glucose optimization using phytonutrient combination therapy in diabetes

Isabel Martinez, MD.1, Bobbi Horne1, Peter J.E. Verdegem, Ph.D., MBA21Blue Mesa Medical Associates, Katy, TX, 2Unicity International, Orem, UT.

Introduction: Dietary approaches to management of lipid and glucose parameters in diabetes is gaining popularity among patients. Monotherapy with dietary ingredients has shown positive effects, but with limited clinical relevance.

Our research focuses on using a phytonutrient combination in optimizing lipid and glucose parameters. All four ingredients have individual data supporting their use for optimizing lipoprotein fractions in hypercholesterolemia. This pilot study evaluates their combined efficacy in type-II diabetes.

Methods: A group of 34 subjects with established type-II diabetes and hypercholesterolemia added the product to their diet. The drink was taken thrice daily 15-20 minutes before meals. The fiber drink consists of viscous soluble fiber, minerals, vitamins, policosanol, phytosterols, and an aqueous
Chrysanthemum morifolium extract. Lipid and glucose parameters were measured at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks.

Bios Life Slim Clinical Study

Conclusion: BiosLife, a phytonutrient combination drink, shows potential in optimizing parameters associated with cardio vascular disease risk in type-II diabetes. These findings are well in line with previously reported clinical results. The fiber component has reduced the post-prandial glucose levels and the resulting lower HbA1c levels indicate that BiosLife provides a natural option to improve diabetes management.

20 Obesity-Related Diseases

20 Diseases Related to Obesity (Being Overweight)

Obesity is a growing concern in the United States; overweight rates have doubled among children and tripled among adolescents. This increases the number of years that they are exposing themselves to dangerous health risks associated with obesity.

Here are 20 diseases or conditions related to Obesity:

1. Diabetes, a disorder where the pancreas is not producing enough or sometimes not any insulin. Diabetes can lead to a whole host of other medical issues and obesity is one of the main causes.
2. Cancer has many different forms and types; many of them could be prevented with more attention to eating healthily and avoiding obesity.
3. Congestive heart failure is a condition in which your heart can’t pump enough blood to your body’s other organs.
4. Enlarged heart is another heart condition where the muscle of your heart becomes larger due to being overworked, which naturally happens if you are overweight.
5. Pulmonary embolism is a sometimes fatal blockage of an artery. Being overweight causes most people to reduce activity, and after time lack of activity can result in an embolism.
6. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a condition in which cysts develop in your ovaries. These can burst, causing even further problems.
7. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease happens when stomach acid and juices flow from your stomach back up into your esophagus. It is common in overweight people.
8. Fatty liver disease is a reversible condition in which large pockets of fat accumulate in liver cells.
9. A hernia is caused when the hole in the diaphragm weakens and enlarges.
10. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to develop or maintain an erection, which can be caused by a medical problem due to obesity.
11. Urinary incontinence is the inability to control urination. It is frequently associated with obesity, weak bladder and pelvic floor muscles
12. Chronic renal failure, meaning your kidneys fail to work, is a much greater risk to those who are overweight or obese.
13. Lymph edema is a condition that occurs from a damaged or dysfunctional lymphatic system, sometimes caused by people suffering from obesity actually crushing their own lymphatics.
14. Cellulitis is a spreading infection, involving both the dermis and subcutaneous skin tissues, resulting from poor lymph flow caused by obesity.
15. Stroke is caused by a lack of blood supply to your brain.
16. Pickwickian syndrome is characterized by sleep apnea resulting from obesity placing an excessive load on your pulmonary system.
17. Depression is a condition where a person feels miserable constantly, even to the point of being suicidal. It can be worse for someone who also has a weight problem.
18. Osteoarthritis is a clinical syndrome in which low-grade inflammation results in pain in your joints. It is caused by abnormal wearing of the cartilage, oftentimes due to obesity.
19. Gout occurs when uric acid accumulates in your blood. Nerve endings then become irritated, causing extreme pain, which is made worse by carrying extra weight.
20. Gallbladder disease commonly affects overweight people as a result of high blood cholesterol levels, which cause gall stones.

According to a Surgeon General report, obesity is responsible for 300,000 deaths every year in the United States.

How You Can Reduce Effectively Your Weight and Body Fat Naturally!

Obese Children | Health Risks

Overweight Children suffer risks of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and emotional problems. Help them reduce weight and body fat now before it is too late.

It is normal for children to gain weight as they grow older, but extra kilograms—more than what’s needed to support normal growth and development—can lead to childhood obesity. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra kilograms often start kids on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

What Causes Childhood Obesity?

There are many factors—usually working in combination— which increases your child’s risk of becoming overweight and fat:

• Diet. Eating high-calorie foods, such as fast foods and vending machine snacks, can result in weight gain. High-fat foods are dense in calories. Consuming sugars which are found in high levels in soft drinks, candy, and desserts also can make kids overweight.
• Inactivity. Sedentary kids are more likely to gain weight because they don’t burn calories through physical activity. Inactive leisure activities, such as watching television or playing video games, cause kids to become obese.
• Genetics. If your child comes from a family of overweight people, they may be genetically predisposed to put on excess weight, especially in an environment where high-calorie diet is always available and physical activity isn’t encouraged.
• Psychological factors. Some children overeat to cope with problems or to deal with emotions, such as stress or boredom. Their parents may have similar predispositions.
• Family factors. Most children don’t shop for the family’s groceries. Parents are responsible for putting healthy foods in the kitchen at home and leaving unhealthy foods in the store. You can’t blame your kids for being attracted to sweet, salty, and fatty foods; after all they taste good. But you can control much of their access to these foods by not stocking up these “foods” at home.
• Socioeconomic factors. Children from low-income backgrounds are at greater risk of becoming obese. Poverty and obesity often go hand in hand because low-income parents may lack the time and resources to make healthy eating and exercise a family priority.

Health Complications

Obese children can develop serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease—often carrying these conditions into an obese adulthood. Overweight children are at higher risk of developing:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• High blood pressure
• Asthma and other respiratory problems
• Sleep disorders
• Liver disease
• Early puberty
• Eating disorders
• Skin infections

The social and emotional fallout also can hurt your child. Being overweight can cause:

• Low self-esteem and bullying. Children often tease or bully overweight kids, who suffer a loss of self-esteem and an increased risk of depression as a result.
• Behavior and learning problems. Overweight children tend to have more anxiety and poorer social skills than normal-weight children have. At one extreme, these problems may lead to acting out and disrupting the classroom. At the other, they may cause social withdrawal. Stress and anxiety also interfere with learning.
• Depression. Social isolation and low self-esteem create overwhelming feelings of hopelessness in some overweight children. When children lose hope that their lives will improve, they’re well on the way to depression. A depressed child may lose interest in normal activities, sleep more than usual, or cry a lot. Some depressed children hide their sadness and appear emotionally flat instead. Either way, depression is as serious in children as in adults.

Obese Kids – Treatment and Prevention

Life is tough enough, but being a kid and overweight can be crushing. The best solution for you, your child, and your whole family is creating a Bios Life Slim habit before meals, eating healthier (and less) foods, and increasing physical activity—but it’s tough for your child to do it alone.

Success depends largely on your commitment to helping your child make important changes. For example, parents are the ones who buy the food, cook the food and decide when and where the food is eaten. Even small changes can make a big difference in your child’s health.

A recent study showed that weight loss is socially contagious. When one person, perhaps a parent, sheds pounds, it has a ripple effect and increases the chances that children, spouse, siblings, and colleagues will slim down.

Do your obese kids really need Statin drugs? Drugs that even adults many have problems taking.

Big Pharma are targeting Obese Kids for Cholesterol Drugs

Doctors say “yes” to prescribing statins at age eight.

Children as young as eight should take cholesterol-lowering drugs if diet changes alone fail to work, according to new guidelines by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Stephen Daniels, of the academy’s nutrition committee, says the new advice is based on mounting evidence showing that damage leading to heart disease, America’s leading killer, begins early in life.

About 30 percent of U.S. children are overweight, according to a study that lead to the new guidelines.. Obese or overweight children may have higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure as they grow, the report said.

Many physicians are urging caution saying that while cholesterol drugs are generally safe for children, the long-term effects of them are not yet known. What’s more, children may learn the lesson that a pill can be a quick fix for the problem of being overweight. In adults, these drugs can trigger fatigue or aching muscles and joints in about 10 percent of patients taking cholesterol drugs.

As a responsible Singapore and Malaysia parent, would you dare risk your children’s health by getting them to take Cholesterol drugs so as to help your children with an overweight problem?

How Bios Life Slim Helped Children Reduce Weight and Body Fat

The Story of 15 Year Old Scott Jordon and his fight against Obesity

Teen loses weight & body fat with highly effective new natural slimming product - Bios Life Slim. Now available and approved for Singapore.

It’s hard being a teenager, it’s even harder being a teen and overweight. But Scott Jordan had it tougher than that. A year ago, Scott was 15, a high school sophomore, and weighed 208 pounds. “I had a huge belly and my face was really fat,” recalls Scott.

To make matters worse, Scott is the youngest of five sons—all of his older brothers and his dad are known for their athletic abilities and slender physiques. “We love Scott to death,” said Lori, Scott’s mom. “He’s so kind and gentle, but I think he kind of felt out of place.”

Scott really did want to slim down, and knew he should, but every time his dad would mention exercise and a diet, well, just like a teenager, “I’d get all mad at him,” said Scott.

It wasn’t until Scott overheard someone talking to his dad, Rick Jordan, a Presidential Diamond Bios Life Franchise Owner, about Bios Life Slim that he decided to take matters into his own hands and asked if he could participate in the three-month product test.

Over the next 90-days, Scott, without changing his diet or exercising lost eight pounds and lost four percent of his body fat. “I could tell after the first three weeks that my face was thinner and my friends were all telling me to keep going,” said Scott.

But then Scott hit a roadblock. After three months, the Slim product trial was over and Scott spent the summer reacquainting himself with fast food and taking it easy. “I gained it all back and was eating really bad all summer and not exercising at all.”

“Then when school started, I got really motivated and started changing my eating habits—and got to participate in another Bios Life Slim product trial.” Within a few weeks, Scott felt like he had more energy and started a regular exercise program.

“Everyone at school is like ‘whoa, looking good!’ That makes me feel good and want to try even harder. I could never keep up with my dad when he went on runs. I used to have to ride a bike to stay with him. But this morning I went running and I was able to keep up with him.”

Scott’s results are more than impressive. He’s down to 164 pounds from his original 208. Before Bios Life Slim he had 36 percent body fat and so far this year has dropped to 18 percent body fat, which has resulted in a total of 34 inches lost.

“As the fat started to come off I had so much more energy. I could do way more things. Everything—my whole life—changed!”

Cholesterol Drugs? Childhood Obesity? Try Bios Life Slim First—

Bios Life Slim and Your Child

How Bios Life Slim helps avoid a lifetime of danger.

Bios Life Slim is showing some of its strongest benefits with children. Slim combats childhood obesity on several fronts—addressing many of the symptoms from being overweight and helping to prevent weight gain.

The natural ingredients of Bios Life Slim are good for any age group. However, children six to twelve should consume only half servings of Slim. For children under six, we recommend you consult your pediatrician about adding Bios Life Slim to their diet.

Reduce weight & body fat for children with Bios Life Slim

Bios Life Slim Helps to Control Cholesterol Levels
The foundation of Bios Life Slim is the combination of a patented blend of highly soluble fibers called Biosphere Fiber™. Biosphere Fiber lowers serum cholesterol by reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the food your child is eating.

In addition, this fiber complex absorbs bile acids, which are the compounds manufactured by the liver from cholesterol that are necessary for the proper digestion of fat.

After absorbing the bile acids, the compounds are removed from circulation and don’t make it back to the liver. As a result, the liver must use up additional cholesterol to manufacture new bile acids. Biosphere Fiber may also reduce the amount of cholesterol manufactured by the liver.

Childhood obesity endangers your child

More Good News for the Heart
Bios Life Slim continues to give cholesterol the one-two-three punch with the Bios Cardio Matrix™. The Bios Cardio Matrix is formulated from a blend of phytosterols, chrysanthemum morifolium, and policosanols—three potent, natural ingredients proven to improve and maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

Stabilizes Blood Sugar
When your child drinks a glass of Bios Life Slim with a meal, it goes to work coating the food in the stomach, and prevents sugar from entering the digestive system too fast. Normally, sugar will give your child a momentary boost in energy—followed by a lapse of energy, and usually causes them to crave more sugar in order to boost their energy again. Without Bios Life Slim, your child is submitted to a rollercoaster sensation of energy and then exhaustion. The soluble fiber in Bios Life Slim acts as a “time release” agent for the sugars found in food.

Take Your Vitamins
Bios Life Slim contains much more than just cholesterol-fighting ingredients. In the stomach and digestive tract, other key ingredients go to work full-throttle. Slim contains a Bios Vitamin Complex™ giving a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals such as beta carotene, biotin, folic acid, vitamins B1, B2, B6, and B12, (This vitamin B complex is known to boost the immune system and to aid in the breakdown of fat.) Vitamins C, E, zinc, niacinamide, selenium, and more.

In addition, the Bios Vitamin Complex turbo-charges the Biosphere Fiber and Bios Cardio matrixes by including calcium carbonate in the ingredients making them even more effective. Upon contact with the acidic environment of the stomach, the calcium carbonate starts to release carbon dioxide. This bubbling disperses the fiber matrix quickly through the gastric fluid. As a result, the matrixes form quickly and efficiently.

An additional ingredient in this complex is chromium. According to new research at Harvard, those with low levels of chromium in their systems are significantly more likely to develop heart problems. Chromium helps to stabilize blood sugar levels in the body.

Help your child reduce weight and body fat effectively and safely with this highly effective drink. Contact us now as limited stocks are selling fast.

But Wait, There’s More…
So far, we’ve described the ingredients that are also contained in Bios Life Complete. Regular use of Bios Life Complete was proven to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) by 31% in only eight weeks, and improve good cholesterol (HDL) by an average 29% in the same eight weeks.

However, this is where Bios Life Slim and Bios Life Complete part company. Slim includes a new, proprietary ingredient called Unicity 7x™. This potent yet natural fusion of plant-based polysaccharides, when combined with Biosphere Fiber, Bios Cardio Matrix, and Bios Vitamin Complex has led to the significant reduction of stored body fat, improvements to body composition, and enhanced weight loss.

Bios Life Slim doesn’t contain any stimulants, so your child won’t feel jittery or nervous. Instead, Slim’s all-natural ingredients go to work trapping fat and carbohydrates, improving cholesterol levels, lowering triglyceride levels, lowering blood sugar levels, and providing your child with a satisfied feeling—they’ll eat less and have fewer cravings!

LifAloe

Your products and packs will now be even more powerful when you supplement with one of hottest new products–LifAloe™.

Lifaloe product picture

Product Code: 13685     LifAloe 20oz  bottle -  US$13.95

With Unicity’s Aloe Technology™, LifAloe enhances the bioavailability of other nutrients.* LifAloe contains five different forms of aloe vera (know as “nature’s miracle plant”), which has been used for thousands of years, not only as an external fortifier, but an internal fortifier as well.

Internally, aloe vera helps the body assimilate other nutrients through two methods. First, it is an excellent cleanser. As aloe vera cleanses your digestive tract, it allows other nutrients to become more readily absorbed and utilized. Second, aloe vera helps to support receptors that are embedded in your immune system. These energized receptors then increase the action of the immune system and the absorption of other nutrients. Nature’s miracle plant creates a spectrum of biologically active solids as it grows. LifAloe captures the most potent forms of these solids.*

All of this is done by combining five separate forms of aloe vera, including a proprietary Aloe Polysaccharides Concentrate, a patented molecular extract. The aloe vera utilized in the Enrich Aloe Complex is harvested and stabilized in record time.

Faster processing means higher nutritional value and increased aloe solids count. This helps make LifAloe’s biological activity and potency unsurpassed.*

LifAloe utilizes aloe vera organically grown in the prime climates of South America and Asia. The rich soil in these two regions, combined with superior harvesting and processing, produces a unique aloe plant that retains more of its natural potency.

Research Brief

Aloe, native to Africa, is also known as “lily of the desert”, the “plant of immortality”, and the “medicine plant”. The name was derived from the Arabic alloeh meaning “bitter” because of the bitter liquid found in the leaves. In 1500 B.C. Egyptians recorded use of the herbal plant in treating a variety of conditions. Ancient Greeks, Arabs and Spaniards have used the plant throughout the millennium. African hunters still rub the gel on their bodies to reduce perspiration and their scent.*

It may also be a potent prebiotic in promoting growth of friendly “good” colon bacteria which is required for good health. The plant is about 96% water. The rest of it contains active ingredients including essential oil, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and glycoproteins. Many liquid health treatments are made, some combining aloe juice with other plants and herbs. The juice has been shown to be soothing to the digestive tract. As a food supplement, aloe is said to facilitate digestion, support the blood and lymphatic systems, as well as kidney, liver and gall bladder functions.*

Aloe contains at least three fatty acids that are helpful for the stomach, small intestine and colon. It may also help cleanse the digestive tract by exerting a soothing, balancing effect.*

Acid – Alkaline Balance

The Cause of Disease

Have you ever wondered if many of the diseases raging through our society have a common cause? Many doctors, herbalists and nutritionists believe that the explanation may come down to three words:

Acid Alkaline Imbalance

Over acidity, this can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When access acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition.

The concept of acid alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease is not new. In 1933 a New York doctor named William Howard Hay published a ground-breaking book, A New Health Era in which he maintains that all disease is caused by auto-toxication (or “self-poisoning“) due to acid accumulation in the body:

Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkaline to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount… It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so.
William Howard Hay, M.D.

More recently, in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die (see recommended reading), Dr. Theodore A. Baroody says essentially the same thing:

The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!
Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D.

Understanding pH

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14—the lower the pH the more acidic the solution, the higher the pH the more alkaline (or base) the solution. When a solution is neither acid nor alkaline it has a pH of 7 which is neutral.

Water is the most abundant compound in the human body, comprising 70% of the body. The body has an acid-alkaline (or acid-base) ratio called the pH which is a balance between positively charges ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming.) The body continually strives to balance pH. When this balance is compromised many problems can occur.

It is important to understand that we are not talking about stomach acid or the pH of the stomach. We are talking about the pH of the body’s fluids and tissues which is an entirely different matter.

Most people who suffer from unbalanced pH are acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals—including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium—from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely removes it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity—a condition that may go undetected for years.

acidic-alkaline-balance picture

Mild acidosis can cause such problems as:

• Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen.
• Weight gain, obesity and diabetes.
• Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones.
• Immune deficiency.
• Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations.
• Hormone concerns.
• Premature aging.
• Osteoporosis; weak, brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs.
• Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid buildup.
• Low energy and chronic fatigue.
• Slow digestion and elimination.
• Yeast/fungal overgrowth.

What Causes Me to be Acidic?

The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to our diet, which is far too high in acid-producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline-producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid-producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid-producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks. We use too many drugs, which are acid-forming; and we use artificial chemical sweeteners like NutraSweet, Equal, or aspartame, which are extremely acid-forming. One of the best things we can do to correct an overly-acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle. Refer to the recommended reading for specific help with diet and lifestyle.

Herb Teas, Lemon Water	Green Tea	Ginger Tea	BEV- ERAGES	Tea	Coffee	Beer, Soft Drinks

Note that a food’s acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming.

Super Chlorophyll | Green Healer

Super Chlorophyll

NATURE’S GREEN HEALER

“There is absolutely no substitute for greens in the diet. If you refuse to eat these “sunlight energy” foods, you are depriving yourself the very essence of life!”

Dietary differences is the major reason why we get The Diseases of Civilization such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. They are troubling not only because they are so common and they take such a heavy toll, but because we generally have no effective treatments against them. The best hope of reducing the incidence of heart disease and cancer is to “prevent” them.

Nutrition research tells us that green foods are important in our diet. Dietary experts recommend that we should consume between five to nine servings of fruit and vegetables daily. The general consensus is that most of us do not consume the minimum five servings of green foods daily.

Chlorophyll as a Therapy

Chlorophyll is the substance that makes plants green. Prior to the widespread use of drugs, chlorophyll has been used as a therapy in healing. Substantial evidence suggests that chlorophyll-rich greens, which are rich in detoxifying phytonutrients, provide the most protection against carcinogens and debilitating diseases. Chlorophyll promotes elimination of toxins from the body. It helps to strengthen cells and the immune system.

It is sometimes called ‘green blood‘ because the chlorophyll molecule closely resembles the hemoglobin molecule in human blood. Chlorophyll has a single atom of magnesium at its core, giving it a green color, whereas hemoglobin has iron, giving it a red color. It’s beneficial effect on anemia could be due to this similarity of chlorophyll and hemoglobin and its high bio-available iron.

For the body to sustain life, the blood needs to be alkaline. Activity and stress tend to acidify the body. An over-acidic condition (acidosis) occurs when the liver, colon and glands are overburdened with a high meat diet, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sugar and white flour products. Symptoms of acidosis may include stomach ulcers, insomnia, water retention, arthritis, migraine, dry hard stools, foul smelling stools and burning sensation in the anus.

When our body gets too acidic, immune function is compromised and endocrine and muscular function is impaired. Acidosis may cause calcium to be, mobilized out of the bones to buffer the acid and to make the body more alkaline. The calcium is then lost through excretion and this could aggravate osteoporosis. Alfalfa is one of the best alkaline plants known.

Chlorophyll is often used to strengthen the circulatory, intestinal and reproductive systems. It also has antiseptic properties that can kill germs but yet soothing and healing to tissues. A chlorophyll solution can increase the resistance of cells, inhibit the growth of bacteria and inhibit the spread of germs. It is useful in external skin applications, for cuts and wounds and as a mouth gargle.

The good news is that Chlorophyll therapy has no toxic effects and is very safe.

Alfalfa is one of the most complete and traditionally nutritious foods. Its roots can reach over 60 feet into the subsoil to enable it to tap into sources of nutrients that other plants cannot access. As such, alfalfa contains a high potency of most vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. It is high in protein and contains every essential amino acid. It also contains enzymes that enable food to be assimilated easily and properly.

Super Chlorophyll contains chlorophylin, concentrated from the highest grade of alfalfa.

This water-soluble product is naturally flavored and is different from other chlorophyll products on the market because it contains a higher concentration of chlorophyll. Super Chlorophyll is the concentrat­ed mineral-center of the alfalfa plant. It yields health benefits above and beyond those received from simply eating vegetables.

Chlorophyll is the green matter in plants. Through a chemical process called photosynthesis, chlorophyll has the ability to harness the sun’s energy to perform various life-promoting functions.

Unicity's Super Chlorophyll Powder product picture

Research Brief

Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light, but it looks green to our eyes because the wavelengths that are not absorbed are the colors we see. What we see is what is being reflected from the leaf or just passing through it, giving the pigment its color. Other pigments are also found in green plants, but the greenness and blue-black color of chlorophyll is so strong that it generally hides the others. The carotenoids, yellow and orange pigments that also absorb light and help with photosynthesis, are present in most green leaves. That is why the leaves change colors in the fall – the plants reabsorb the useful materials from its leaves and the chlorophyll breaks down, leaving behind the red and yellow pigments to show through. When light is absorbed by chlorophyll, electrons in the pigment molecules within the leaf cells are organized into tiny electrical currents. This electric energy made from light is what the plant uses as power to grow and develop.
There are 13 essential mineral nutrients needed by plants for healthy plant growth. When a plant grows, it takes in the water and nutrients from the soil, and gases (carbon dioxide) from the air. The energy from photosynthesis enables the plant to separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is released from the leaf into the atmosphere, and the hydrogen is combined with molecules of carbon dioxide. The combination of carbon dioxide and hydrogen forms glucose.
Glucose is a carbohydrate, formed through photosynthesis, which is used as food and fuel to supply energy to the plant for its own growth and life functions. On most days, enough light is provided for the leaves to produce much more glucose than the plant needs for its immediate needs. The surplus glucose is used to make carbohydrates, such as sucrose and starch, and cellulose fibers for the plant structure.

Alkaline Foods | How It Affects Your Health

When your body is weakly alkaline, it is difficult for cancerous cells to grow, or even to survive.  Find out more how simple, well tested natural remedies can help you stay healthy and be disease free….

Case Study of someone who used Alkaline Foods to fight Cancer tumors:

More that 30 years ago, a Mr Zhang who worked in the retail sales department of a Taipei Brewery, was selected to take an overseas course in brewery.

One of the pre-conditions for the overseas study was for him to go to a public hospital for a medical checkup. The subsequent health checkup showed that he had a cancerous tumor growth in his lung – about the size of a child’s fist.  His overseas study grant was therefore canceled.

The greatly disappointed Mr Zhang felt that the medical diagnosis was wrong. So he went to another hospital for a medical check-up. The second medical checkup also confirmed that he had a cancerous tumor in his lung.

For someone who was so young and healthy to be stricken with such terminal illness, it was a great shock.  In his despair, he rang his old class mate, Mr Wei, who at that time was with the Taidong County Government, for advice.  He suggested that Mr Zhang go and see Dr Lu  Geling, who specializes in cancer clinical research, for treatment.

When Dr Lu met with Mr Zhang, Dr Lu said: “Let me ask you: do you know why is cancer referred to as terminal illness?”  Both Mr Zhang and Mr Wei did not know how to answer.

Dr Lu explained: “There are only two approaches taken by patients to treat cancer currently. The first is to destroy the source of the disease. The second is the increase the body’s capability to fight the disease.

But the strange thing is that, irrespective of whether we use Cobalt 60 or any other drug to destroy the cancer cells, before the cancer cells are killed, the good cells are destroyed first.

On the other hand, no matter what nutrients or supplements we use, before the good cells have a chance to absorb them, the cancer cells have absorbed them and it simply speeds up the growth of the cancerous cells.  Therefore both approaches are doomed to failure, that is why cancer is terminal.”

Dr Lu continued: “People are smart enough to solve most problems they encounter.  However, when it comes to cancer treatment, people make decisions based on fear.  That is why they do not try to seek a third option when they know the first two options have a low chance of long term success.  During my clinical research, I discovered from blood tests that of 100% of the cancer patients’ blood samples was acidic”.

“In contrast, Buddhist monks and nuns who have been vegetarians all their lives and who live very close to Nature had blood that was prevalently weakly alkaline.  This could account as to why cancer was rare among them.  Therefore, I concluded that a weakly alkaline condition was not conducive to the aggressive cancer cell growth.

Mr Zhang, I would suggest that you immediately:

1. reduce your intake of the acidic meaty dishes.
2. Take more of the alkaline food. In addition you can take green algae and soup made from water chestnuts with shell,
3. Modify your physical condition, and try seriously to have a regular life style which is close to Nature;

If you are still alive for five years time, you would have won your fight against cancer. I wish you the best of luck.”

Mr Zhang followed Dr Lu’s suggestions and seriously altered his eating habits.

Every day, he ate green algae, drank chestnut soup, be optimistic and doing appropriate amount of exercise, and went back to the same public hospital for regular check ups. The regular checkups showed that the tumor was gradually shrinking – much to the surprise of the doctors as Mr Zhang did not go for any cancer drug / chemotherapy treatment.

The Result of Alkaline Treatment on cancerous tumors

Five years later, the tumor size shrunk to such a state as to be almost disappeared.  40 years later, Mr Zhang’s continues to enjoy good health.

In another case, Mr Chen Tianshou, was similarly diagnosed with lung cancer. He too followed Dr Lu’s natural remedies for cancer so he could be cancer-free. The outcome was that he too was able to recover fully from the cancer, just like Mr Zhang.

Here are some the findings about alkaline vs. acidic blood

The Blood of healthy persons are weakly alkaline, with a pH of about 7.35 to 7.45

• Babies’ blood is also weakly acidic
• As adults mature their blood becomes more acidic in nature.

According to a study of 600 cancer patients, 85% of the patients’ body fluids are acidic.  Therefore, the first step is to reduce the acidity in the body through alkaline foods.

Acidic physical conditions in the body are manifested in the following ways:

• Skin is lackluster
• Athlete’s foot
• Feeling tired even with very little exercise, and feeling sleepy the moment one gets on to public buses
• Easily out of breath going up and down the stairs
• Big waist line
• Feeling lethargic and have difficulty moving around briskly

Why does the body physical condition turn acidic?

1. Excessive intake of dairy acidic food. Meat, dairy products, eggs, beef, ham, etc are acidic food

• taking too much acidic foods can cause the blood becoming acidic and viscous, resulting in poor blood circulation. This could lead to cold feet or knee, stiff shoulders and insomnia.
• When one is young and strong, taking appropriate serving portions of meat is ok.  However, we get older, our diet should be primarily vegetables and fish.

2. Physical stress and the lack of sleep can cause the body to become acidic. Irregular pace in life will lead to mental and physical stress.

• According to statistics, people who sleep late are 5 times more likely to get cancer than normal people.
• Irregular sleeping hours can affect health.
• Human organs are controlled by the autonomic nervous system – sympathetic nerves function when you need to be active (i.e. daytime), and parasympathetic nerves are utilized when your body is at rest (i.e. nighttime).  If the nerves are subjected to abuse by way of irregular sleep / wake cycles, the body immunity is weaken and diseases can occur.

3. Emotional Stress

• Hectic lifestyle can bring about stress
• Demanding jobs can also lead to mental stresses
• Age, Unhealthy Lifestyles, Drugs and Stress can lead to imperfect adrenal cortex function syndrome which can cause death.

4. Physical Stress

• Before any operation, it would be necessary to check if the adrenal cortex is functioning normally. If the adrenal cortex is functioning properly, or if the adrenal cortex to cope with the stress of the operation, it could lead to death or other undesirable health consequences.
• If the patient’s face is visibly puffy, it would be necessary to check the patient’s medical history and medication status. For patients taking adrenal cortical hormone, extra care should be exercised when administering acupuncture.
• Stress due to hard physical labor, excessive exercise, staying up late, long distance driving etc should be avoided as much as possible.

Bios Life Slim Testimonials

The Todd Smith Newsletter

July 1, 2008

Hi Nancy,

Over the last 9 months I have been carefully watching and listening to the results people are having using our new product Bios Life Slim.  At first I was highly skeptical, but I am now a believer.  Since May when the product was officially launched, the success stories have been truly UNBELIEVABLE!.  People are having amazing results on this product!  (See testimonials below).

Because of the success of this product, there are Franchise Owners selling 100, 150, 200 and 250 boxes of Slim and earning $50 per box sold.  I have never seen these types of results in my 17 year career with Unicity.

As you can imagine, the Franchise Owners who are working are fired up! My volume grew over $500,000 last month, the largest month-over-month increase I have experienced in the past 7 years.  It is all because of Bios Life Slim.

If you are not already using Bios Life Slim, read the testimonials below. They are exciting to read.  You can’t read these stories and deny the products working.

Save these testimonials and forward them to your prospective customers who are either skeptical or who want to learn more.

I don’t know how a person who wants to lose weight can read these and not want to get started on Slim immediately.

Todd Smith

My sister Julie a Franchise owner told me that she has lost 8 lbs and her husband 10 lbs on SLIM (in a month or less) . Wow she is truly a walking advertisement among the military who require “fit lean machines for their positions”.

**************************************************

I have to give you my update – I’m blown away!!

Even with missing one slim before a meal this weekend, drinking one after a meal when I remembered, munching pretty much the whole way home last night, and missing the tea and one LiFiber drink this weekend – I still measured a loss of over 2 inches this week!!!!

If I add up the last two weeks, I’m over 5 inches lost!  Amazing – I don’t really feel it too much in my clothes because of course the inches are total body, but I really can notice it in the tummy bulge!!  And the loss of cravings for sugar are amazing – I really wanted a chocolate muffin for breakfast this am – but had the meal replacement shake instead – wow it really does taste pretty good!

Thank you for happening into my life – you rock!!

Lynette

******************************************************

I am almost afraid to tell you this as it seems too good to be true.

I have been on Bios Slim twice a day and Bios LIfe once a day (three altogether) for a week. I measured and weighed myself before I started. I wasn’t going to weigh or measure this early but I stepped on the scales and I am down 5#!!!!!

Is that possible??? I have lost 4″ already!!!!

I am most interested in getting the spare tire off and I haven’t lost any at my waist yet. This stuff is awesome!!!!

Joan, RN

***************************************************

I just want you to know, as you know my daughters situation, that in 1 week she has lost 3#”s and 5.25 inches. Ashley tipped the scale at over 200#’s and was devastated 1 week ago.

I praise God that she saw results so soon as she certainly needs the motivation and this has done it for her. This will help her heal and learn how to feel good about herself again after her loss. I pray that it continues for her!

Christine

*******************************************************************

From Christie ( Nuse Practitioner)

To date, I have lost about 5lbs, and 9inches after almost 7weeks, sleeping much better, have much improved digestive function and of course much energy.

I could have lost more weight if I was exercising, but my schedule is so hectic and I have not been able to dedicate time for exercise. My husband has lost about 4lbs and at least 6inches, has incredible energy and has become an advocate for SLIM. I put him on it because of his cholesterol as he doesn’t have much weight to worry about.

**********************************************************************************************

I’ve lost 10 lbs and 6 inches from my waist on Bios Life Slim!

I totally sound like an infomercial but oh well. Its working. With almost no effort on my part. Isn’t that what we all want? A magic pill, powder, whatever that makes you lose weight just by existing. Well, 10 days into it and its totally still working like magic. And yes, that math is right. 10 lbs in 10 days. Say what?

I’ve always felt that my body was somehow broken and thats why I don’t lose weight. Even with diet and exercise I’ll lose weight the first week or so and then its…..nothing. And then when I stop beating myself up at the gym and stop counting every freaking morsel of food that goes into my body, I gain back what I lost and then 5-10 lbs more. Its like I can’ never get ahead.

But drinking this little drink makes me think that it really is broken. And that its in the process of being repaired right now. That’s pretty much the whole premise behind Bios Life Slim.

Remember last week I had questions about SLIM? Guess what?  All of a sudden (but after 8 weeks) Slim is working on me.  We got dressed to go out on a dinner date.  My pants were not tight and when I put my good belt on it was way too big. I had to find an old belt to wear.  What happened?

Every one at diner was commenting on how thin I looked?  Wait till I email my gang of twenty!

Steve

**************************************************************************************************

Please feel free to share with this with the team.  I am so excited about the results I have had with SLIM.  I have gone from size 18 to size 16.

The most incredible part is that the biggest changes have been in my legs where I have always carried most of my weight. The most amazing part is not just the weight loss but the increase in energy. I am walking and biking more and I am sure that helps.

The interesting part about it all is that I have only lost 3 pounds.  The great part is that my husband can tells me my butt is shrinking!

Total Inches lost = 19.5 since April 13, 2008:

Chest = 8.0 “
Waist = 1.0″
Abdomen = 2.5 “
Hips = 1.0 “
Thighs = 3.0″
Upper Knee = 2.0″
Calves 1.5″
Ankles – 0.5″

Woo Whoo!

Rhonda is a receptionist for family practice doctor.  She started using Bios and had blood drawn on Mar 7. She had it drawn again yesterday May 21.  Here are her results. TC   206…..   to 136….Trig  304   to  108  (almost a 200 point drop)

Ratio lowest ever in her words. She called me very excited to share her results, then added the doc she works for was very impressed.

**********************************************

I wanted to share this information with  you as I am so excited.  I saw my Dr. on Monday, she said there was no way I could have gotten the results this dramatic on medication alone. She also said that if I continued this good that there was a possibility that she would reduce my medication or discontinue it.

A little background first.  In Jan. 2008 I decided to stop my cholesterol medication,(not a wise or smart move) and was only taking my Bios Life on a hit and miss bases. Had my lab work drawn on 2/1/08 and saw the Dr.  She told me to start taking my medication again, which I did.  She also sent me to a Diabetic Class.

I started my medication, my Bios Life, (then Bios Life Slim in April) and watched my diet, eating more high fiber foods. My lab work was redrawn on 4/29/08.

The following are my results.

2/1/08                4/29/08
Triglycerides   240                   139
Cholesterol, Total  277               123
HDL Cholesterol      47                53
LDH Cholesterol    182                 42

Hemoglobin A1c      6.9                6.3

And to add icing to the cake  I now can get into a pair of jean shorts that I have not been able to wear in 4 years.  Also a pair of capris that I bought last year. I could not get either pair zipped up and fastened at the waist.  I have lost 10#s from 2/1/08. I might add my exercise level was very low, that is the only thing my Dr.has encouraged me to do increase my exercise to 3 times a week.

Bios Life Slim is my friend and just think of what I can do now by adding the exercise.

Katie, RN

“Send Private Message to Debbie Amoedo” Debbie Amoedo shares a client story..

Updates from Wendy who has been using Slim for 6 days…. she is excited!

Ok – fast becoming a believer here.  I know you said not to step on the scale, but I peeked yesterday, and I have lost 3 lbs already.  I also measured today (a day early, but I wanted to know) and I have lost 1/2″ in the chest area, 1″ in the waist, 1/2″ on the hips, and 1/2″ on the thighs.  A total of 2 1/2″ lost already………this in only 6 days!

I haven’t had any food cravings, and I have more energy than I have had in months…….I can actually feel the difference in my body, which I thought was just my mind trying to make me feel better, but the measuring tape verified what my body is feeling…………..

**********************************************************************

I am down at least 5 lbs (last weeks weight) and 2 inches on chest and hips and one inch on the waist since starting SLIM!

Deb

The bioslife slim is going great! What I like the best is how good I’ve been feeling. It must be all the vitamins and minerals in it!  Could you send me 2 more months supply?

Do you still have my credit card number? You can charge it to that again.  If you don’t have it, let me know.  I’m even getting use to the taste of it.  It sure does thicken up fast.  Thanks much.

Liz

***************************************************************************************************************

I’m at work so if you left it this morning I was already gone! It’s going well. With BLS, diet and exercise, I’ve lost about 4 lbs. since April 1. I haven’t taken measurements again yet…I will May 1. It fills me up and curbs my appetite a little more than regular bios life.

I will run out soon and would like to a another order of BLS. I would prefer the canister if you have it in that form.  Thanks for checking on me!!

Dr. Mays,

Haven’t seen you lately in the hospital.  Just wanted to let you know how things are going.  Actually I find the results a little hard to believe, but my clothes are proving it.  Since 4/8 I have lost a total of 26 inches and 5 lbs. on Bios Life Slim.

Thanks

I LOVE BIOS SLIM. I AM DRINKING IT 3 TIMES A DAY AND IT IS CRAZY MY CRAVING FOR SWEET IS NOW GONE. AFTER DRINKING IT, IT CURBS MY APPETITE. I FEEL LIKE IT WILL WORK VERY WELL WITH ME. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE.

I lost 2 belt sizes and 5lbs since I saw you and started my SLIM.  Enjuvenate is also awesome, from what I have ready about the pituitary, when it gets lazy its the main reason why men get a belly, the pituitary complex in enjuvanate is working unbeleivable, my body is transforming for the better for sure, muscles popping out everywhere. There is so much great protein and amino acids in this I would think it would be great to add this to any diet, its easy, take it every other day a hour before bed, can’t wait to add the liver essentials, I’m very excited, and I need 2 more boxes!!!

*************************************************

Lara lost  3inches in her waistline, she did not measure her hips. she certainly looks smaller .

I’m using it now too- I lost 2lbs in 4 days and 1 inch from my waistline.

*********************************************************************

I’ve been on Slim and Liver Essentials for 3 weeks.  I’ve lost 6 lbs and 8 inches!!!!!!  But the most amazing thing is that I for the first time in my life I feel FULL eating a normal amount of food.  Plus I have not had a piece of chocolate for over 2 weeks……that in it’s self is amazing because chocolate is usually a MAJOR food group for me!!!!!  So bottom line to that is big decrease in cravings. I LOVE Slim!!!

Joy

************************************************************

Hear are some additional stories on my slim clients:

Heidi told me she lost 5 inches in month.

Billie said she has so much more energy for just one week on slim.

Kathy said craving for ice cream when her family members are eating at night
are gone after two weeks.

Karen who went from complete to slim total cholesterol from 300 to 170.

Thanks

Missy

*************************************************************************

I decided to check my measurements this morning, since I have been on Bios Life Slim for a month. I have lost an accumulative of five and a half inches.

I am excited about this as one goal of mine was to have my clothes fit somewhat looser.   Now the goal is still to have the clothes fit looser; just about four sizes smaller.  Since I am an older female (59yrs) I feel this is a great start. I have not (on propose) been exercising.  Let’s see what happens this next month with exercise!

Thanks,

Micki

I was just wondering if you ordered the Bios Life Slim for me. I have a ten day supply left. I weighed myself today and lost 9 & 1/2lbs. I can tell from the way my clothes fit.

Sometimes I drink the Lean Complete everyday for breakfast or lunch and sometimes it’s every other day. It is very filling and I love the rich taste of the chocolate. Lately, I’ve been mixing chocolate and vanilla together as you suggested. I don’t have those hunger pangs in between meals and I don’t snack like I used to. I take my packet of Slim with me if we go out to eat. The packets are very convenient. I also like the Kashi cereal you recommended and look forward to eating it when I don’t drink the Lean Complete for breakfast.

Thanks for all your help. It’s a good feeling when you start seeing results.

Good Morning,

Our cruise is two weeks from tomorrow. I’m getting really excited! I don’t feel so bad in a bathing suit now that I lost a little weight and hopefully a couple more lbs before the cruise!!!!! It’s amazing how Bios Life Slim works and seeing results can really “perk up” a person. I am very positive about the Slim and the Lean Complete.

Let me know when the next shipment arrives.

Just wanted to let you know that after six weeks of BiosLife I had my lab testing and my Cholesterol dropped 54 points, Trig dropped 10, Risk Factor 3.0, LDL dropped 20 and I lost the 10 pounds Dr. Graeca wanted to see.  I have had some gas and constipation problems, but nothing severe.  I see the PA on Monday and I have my Physical August 8.  Hope I can keep losing or at least stay the same until then.  Also I did receive my next shipment on time.

Thank you,

Carol

————————————————————————-

So far I have lost around 12 pounds. I weighed myself at the gym around a month ago and I was 238. Last Thursday I weighed in at 226. As far as inches go, sorry I do not have an exact measurement but before this when I returned home from work it was all I could do to get out of my jeans due to the fact they were digging into my stomach so bad that they left marks in my stomach pretty much into the next morning. My waist jean size is 36 and now I pull them out of the dryer and bolt them on with absolutely no discomfort.

*******************************************************************************************************

I have been using Bios Life Slim for 6 weeks.  In 2 weeks I lost 8.25 inches!  I was very excited!  The next 2 weeks I lost another 2.5 inches.  I had heard how people were no longer hungry but not me…I was still hungry.  I was not able to go by those sweet rolls in the store and easily pass them up as I heard others say. I still wanted my 9:00pm snack.  Then another Franchise Owner said she was taking Liver Essentials and was thrilled she was losing more fat since she started them.  I ordered them and began taking them.  I measured today and have now lost a total of 21.75 inches, head to toe!!!  I see dimples in my cheeks…my face cheeks that is!  My clothes are fitting much better. I actually put on a pair of pants I have not been able to wear in a year! Even my shoes are sliding up and down!   Oh yes…I can pass up those sweet rolls now and I no longer need that evening snack.   Today I’ve started walking and using some of that weight equipment in the basement.  I did have to dust it off. You can imagine how excited I am about BL Slim.

Hey Dana,
I am extremely lactose intolerant.  I have noticed that when I take Bios Life Slim right before I eat dairy, that I am not sick afterward.  Is this a plus in taking this on top of losing weight?  Usually within minutes of eating dairy I will feel the symptoms coming on but this past week I have eaten more dairy at lunch and the side effects are hardly noticeable.

Just wanted to share that with you.  Have a great day.  Penny

********************************************************************************************************

FYI

My first 30 days on slim I have lost over 10 pounds and 11 inches. I eat 3 times a day with a snack in the afternoon and I am not looking for anything after dinner. I have not changed anything about the way I eat since I am already a pretty healthy eater, and I still enjoy my beer in the evening. I also try to work out at least 3 days a week.

I will take a picture of th 5 pounds of fat. I think that would be interesting for people to see.

Talk to you soon. Love ya

To report on Slim….   I spoke with a lady last evening whom I had seen last week in the office with her 18 year old daughter, and got talking about weight loss, diabetes, etc….  I sold the 18 y/o a box of slim and her mom told me last night that she has lost 9 lbs in 1 week!   I did re-emphasize not to be watching the scales but to do the weekly measurements…..

I sold 7 Slim at the party and 2 more were purchasing from Gayla next day when had their checks.  Also 1 Liver Essentials and 1 Lean Complete sold.  So she now goes from no business to 9 ready for refills in a month plus those she sells to directly from now on.

It really went well and she is very happy and excited about Slim and Bios Life! One of the guests starting Slim was NP so Gayla has a potential partner right there.

TEAM.. THE EMAIL BELOW IS FROM A PHYSICIAN… SHARING HER OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.. I just started slim a few weeks ago, I could never eat any carbs without blowing up, I’ve been on the austerity program for years and years as I was an incredibly heavy kid, I weighted 172 at 15 1/2 and lost the weight and kept it off but it’s always been a battle! I’ve won but at a major cost. For the first time ever I can eat like a person! AND my clothes are getting loser! How insane is that!!! It is amazing.

Whatever cravings  I had for sweet things are pretty much gone! I rarely gave into those cravings but I had them.  I can’t wait to see what happens when I’ve actually been on the drink for 3 months!. I am never going off of bios slim and I want all my patients to drink it! I want everyone I know to drink it who needs it, which are plenty of people!!! The world is getting fatter and fatter.

I actually have to reach for calorie dense foods now (healthy ones! But still! I now eat when I’m hungry what I want and don’t think about calories, only about whether it’s healthy and if I am in the mood for it!).  I drink it at the bus stop every morning and as I get smaller and smaller people are getting more and more interested! (not that I was huge, but my whole shape is changing!) needless to say my husband is thrilled

:-)

Hi,

I just wanted to share that one of my patients who has been using Slim 3 x day, over the past few weeks has lost 12 lbs!!  Needless to say she is very happy with the product.  She has been doing some exercise–but nothing that would equate to 12 lbs wt loss.

Hope to send more great results as some more patients start using Bios Slim.

Beth Urban, RD CDE

***********************************************************************

I have struggled most of my adult life with too much fat and for the last 22 years with too much weight and unstable blood glucose. I developed Gestational Diabetes with my last pregnancy and have fought with this ever since. When I came to this company I weighed 362 lbs. Over the years I have lost a great deal of weight and at one time got down below 190 lbs. Then menopause happened to me eight years ago and up went my weight. There was nothing I could do to budge an inch or a lb. I have been on Bios Life Slim now for 6 1/2 weeks. At first nothing happened and then in my second week I noticed my bowel movements changed and my appetite was gone as well as all the cravings. I decided I would actually get on the scale again and I was shocked. I felt like I was losing inches but couldn’t see anything, but my weight had actually gone up 4 Lbs beyond my starting weight. I was not happy, and said there is no way I can sell this product. Then I stopped and thought about my body and knowing the facts about fat and liver, I came to the conclusion that my liver had gone fatty and reached for the Liver Essentials. 3 Days later I got on the scale again and I had not only lost the 4lbs I gained, but I had dropped 4 1/2 pounds below my starting weight. I was feeling better but the inch loss when I measured wasn’t anything worth writing down.

So I continued doing what I was supposed to do, drinking my Bios Life Slim and water, using Liver Essentials, watching what I was eating was easy because my appetite was under control and I had no cravings. I stayed away from the scale and measuring tape.

This week I needed to go to a funeral and I was getting dressed. As soon as I pulled my pants on, I immediately took them off. I needed to see what was going on. First I got on the scale. I had lost now a total of 9 lbs; I got out the measuring tape and as I measured I became more and more astonished. I started with my thighs because they were easy and then moved up.

These are the numbers

Lost:

· 3 ” each thigh

· 8″ on my hips around my butt.

· 4 1/2 ” on my waist

· 6″ in my upper abdomen

· 1″ on each of my upper arms

You see the pants I was pulling on were the same pants I wore on Friday February 8th in Utah and this was February 27th, 19 days and they were too big :

Darlene

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On Bios Life SLIM,  I’ve lost 3 inches in my abdomen, an inch and a half in my waist and 3/4 in each thigh People have noticed!

Rita

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please save me another box of slim! I know my husband sees a difference in me and mostly in my butt do I see a difference.  I feel a little bit smaller in my rib cage area too!  What I notice more than anything is that I can eat a “normal”  amount of food and feel full, I have never really had that before.

My brain did not register the food that was going into my body and now it is.  That is a really nice feeling.

Thanks so much,

***********************************************************************************

I have to weigh in on my Slim experience.  I have been taking it for about 4 weeks and the most notable effect is an incredible increase in energy.  I have been plagued with fatigue and in general feeling “lousy” related to hormones and menopause.  This has gone on for years now.

I have just returned from my journey to South Africa and am still waiting for the jet lag to catch up with me.  Traditionally traveling east to Europe is much worse than going west. But in spite of a 36 hour trip with layovers each way, and basically not sleeping at all in the 24 hours of actual flight time each way, I am still waiting to crash.

I feel better than I have in years.  Insomnia has been a serious problem for me along with waking in the morning feeling “muzzy”.  I started to notice this improving before the trip, and it has continued.  I am

convinced that this is related to a hormone change in my body, and wonder if the Slim, while rebalancing the “hunger hormones” is also affecting other hormones such as adrenals, thyroid, etc.  Clearly Slim has far reaching health benefits.

ALZHEIMERS’ EYE TEST

ALZHEIMERS’ EYE TEST

Count every ‘ F ‘ in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…
(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 – no joke.

READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F’s before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process ‘OF’.

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 ‘F’s’ on the first go is a genius.

Three is normal, four is quite rare.

This test just proves that we see things selectively, ignoring things we think are not important based on our subjective values.  This blind side can lead to bad judgments and cause arguments which often can be avoided.

Send this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy.!
And keep them occupied
For several minutes..!

Statins for Children

Statins for Children – How Safe Are They?

In a recent press announcement, the American Academy of Pediatrics made a ridiculous recommendation that children who are 8 years and above should be given cholesterol-fighting drugs (statins) if they had bad cholesterol (LDL), were obese (over-weight) or suffered from high blood pressure.  A couple of years back, they had recommended that children over 10 years of age be given statin drugs.

Statins for children - How safe are they?

This recommendation stem from the worrisome statistics that show children are becoming more prone to obesity-related health problems, like high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased risk of stroke now because of their sedentary lifestyles.

According to the American Diabetes Association, about 176,500 children and adolescents younger than 20 have diabetes, and 2 million teenagers have blood glucose levels higher than normal, a condition called pre-diabetes.

It is absurd and disgusting that a respected organization like the American Academy of Pediatrics should suggest that children should be given statins which will create more health problems in the children than solve it.  If adults have problems handling the numerous side effects of statin drugs, what more, the risk of statin drug side effects for children with immature vital organs like kidneys and liver?  The known effects (which are clearly stated in all statin drug prescription instruction leaflets) include kidney / liver malfunction and muscle damage.

Moreover, statin prescription is a lifetime commitment.  Once you stop taking these potent cholesterol fighting drugs, there is no guarantee that the problem won’t come back again.  The only people likely to benefit from children taking statins are the Big Pharma (the big pharmaceutical companies which market these powerful drugs).

Also, statins will be seen as a quick fix for childhood obesity and heart diseases by parents detracting them from the common sense approach to good health – good diet and a healthy lifestyle.  The cumulative net result of which is that we will have a nation of statin-takers – from cradle to grave.  Everyone who have taken these heart medication will tell you how expensive they are – potentially robbing you of your financial health over the long term as well.

Parents and guardians who are concerned about their over-weight children should instead consider some of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ other recommendations that don’t involve taking stains like:

• One-year old children should be given low-fat milk.
• Children 2 years and above should avoid foods that are high in sugar, carbohydrates and trans fats such as fatty or sugary fast foods, packaged processed foods, snacks and beverages.  Instead of going to a fast food restaurant, they should be having more home-cooked foods and fresh fruits and vegetables which are rich in fiber and nutrients.
• Education to teach children the dangers of junk foods and how to lead healthy lives (like exercise, sports and other healthy outdoor activities)
• National efforts to regulate junk food advertisements to children and providing more money, including insurance reimbursement, for obesity prevention and treatment program.

There is absolutely no need for your children to be put on a potentially harmful prescription of statin drugs with all its reported serious side effects when there are safer and natural alternatives to beat heart diseases, diabetes and obesity.

Arthritis Drugs – Cancer Risk Factors

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are investigating the following four arthritis drugs used for treating Rheumatoid Arthritis and other immune system diseases might carry the risk Cancer in children:

1. Enbrel, sold by Amgen and Wyeth (treats juvenile idiopathic arthritis, once known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.  Amgen is also trying to get approval to use the drug to treat psoriasis in children)
2. Remicade, sold by Johnson & Johnson and Schering-Plough (treats Crohn’s disease in children.  Crohn’s disease is an inflamation of the bowel)
3. Humira, sold by Abbott Laboratories (treats juvenile idiopathic arthritis, once known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis)
4. Cimzia, sold by the Belgian company UCB

As these drugs block part of the immune system, there is always a risk that they might contribute to a higher risk of cancers and infections. The drugs’ labels contain warnings to that effect, including warning about a risk of lymphomas, which are cancers of immune system cells.

Studies had already linked Humira and Remicade, for example, to:

• Lymphoma
• Tuberculosis
• Pneumonia
• Skin, gastrointestinal, breast and lung tumors

The protein blocked by these drugs are called tumor necrosis factor (or more commonly known as TNF-Blockers).

The FDA has received reports of 30 cases of cancer among children and young adults treated with the drugs.

How you can handle immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and psoriasis:

1. A good quality Salmon Omega-3 (while decreasing intake of omega-6 fats, largely found in vegetable oils)
2. A powerful Antioxidant
3. Vitamin D and lots of sunshine
4. Plenty of good bacteria (via a good Probiotics Supplement)
5. Reduce Sugar intake (as it will increase your Insulin levels and aggravate the inflammation)
6. Avoid grains until the inflammation is under control.  Bowel disease is usually associated with gluten sensitivity.  Grains also increase insulin levels
7. Reduce stress as emotional distress is one of the causes of auto immune diseases
8. Exercise regularly.  Tai Chi and Yoga are great for joints pains

Why take the risk of cancers and other diseases with arthritis drugs when there are safer and natural ways to better health?.
