Increase your Energy Naturally!

Energy truly governs our lives. Low energy can mean the difference between crawling and walking through life. In fact, fatigue-related complaints are one of the top five reasons people visit their physician. America is open for business 24 hours a day and "burnout" is extremely common.

About the Immune System

Your immune system is your bodyguard. It works both pro-actively and protectively to shield you from anything in your world that threatens your life and limb. The main elements of the immune system are the thymus gland, bone marrow, the spleen, the complement system of enzymatic proteins, and the lymphatic system with white blood cells and lymphocytes, the backbone of immune defenses. Your immune system is ever-vigilant, constantly searching for proteins, called antigens, that don't belong in your body. It can deal with a wide range of pathogens - viruses, funguses, bacteria and parasites. It can even recognize potential antigens, such as drugs, pollens, insect venoms and chemicals in foods, and malignant cells and foreign tissue, such as transplanted organs or transfused blood.

Good water is essential to body cleansing. It's obvious. It sounds like a truism. Your body goes down fast without water. Making up almost three-fourths of the body, every cell is regulated, monitored and dependent on an efficient flow of water. Not one of the processes in our bodies could take place without water. Water is something that we take for granted. But how many of us really understand how essential water is or what happens to our body if it doesn't receive pure water every day, free of chemicals and pollutants?

Just in from the American Botanical Council...

American health care consumers are increasing their use of herbs as natural alternatives to drugs. Standardizing separate herbal constituents for potency has become popular as herbal manufacturers enter drug-oriented health care markets. In reality, standardizing herbs is a business decision. Herb suppliers, eager to expand the distribution of herbal products through the health care system keep hitting an expansion “ceiling” because medical-oriented markets had no economic incentive to research or test herbs, since no one could “patent a plant.”

Kava has become the "herbal answer" to Valium-like drugs in America. Kava helps calm the mind and relax the muscles without causing side effects like over-sedation or addiction common to prescription drugs.

Here are the facts (source: Natural Products Association)

1. Supplements are SAFE. Millions of people use supplements every year with no safety issues. In fact, supplements are regulated as foods NOT as drugs because of their excellent safety record.

2. Supplements are regulated. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) effectively regulates supplements on the market. Even the FDA concedes it has all the tools it needs to regulate supplement use.

3. Studies show supplements enhance health! The numbers show that natural products can save lives, not to mention millions of dollars in healthcare.

A few examples from the Natural Products Association:
- Daily intake of approximately 1,800 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the occurrence of CHD (coronary heart disease) among the over-65 population. Approximately 384,303 hospitalizations and physician fees of $3.1 billion due to CHD could be avoided with supplement use.

- Daily intake of 1,200 milligrams of calcium with vitamin D among the over age-65 population could prevent approximately 734,000 hip fractures and hospital, nursing facility, and physician costs of $13.9 billion.
