Thyroid Support From The Sea?

Do You KNOW The Health Benefits That

Come From You Taking This?

  Ever feel sick? This may be from the flu, food poisoning, too long in the heat, etc.

  Ever get so sick you can hardly stand up? If you’ve been that sick you know exactly what I’m talking about, and if you were like me, you wished you weren’t?

  Well here’s one little secret that most people don’t know. Most Americans are most likely iodine deficient. How do they get that way? Simple. They don’t eat or drink the right foods and beverages, they overeat on sugar, they consume late night meals and snacks, and they don’t drink enough good pH water.

  Iodine is important because it is an essential trace element that is vital for normal growth and development. Great for children, especially in their life as a young person, and teenager, but it’s really something that everyone should be taking.

  Here’s an interesting fact. Around 60% of the iodine in the human body is stored in the thyroid gland. Storage areas are different for men than women, but you still need iodine in sufficient quantities if you want to be healthy and remain healthy.

  The health benefits of iodine (Thermo-Sea) play a very important role in the normal functioning of your thyroid gland, which does secrete thyroid hormones that control the base metabolic rate of the body. That means it helps control your hormones and your weight.

  In fact, without iodine, thyroid hormones could not even be “synthesized.”

  Iodine controls the functioning of thyroid glands in human body, which in turn has a significant influence on the metabolic processes in your body.

  The health benefits of iodine help in the optimal utilization of calories, thereby preventing its storage as excess fat.

  Other benefits of iodine, and there are many, are the removal of toxins from the body and assistance for the system in utilizing various minerals, like calcium and silicon, so using a liquid supplement like Thermo-Sea is a must if you truly want real health, not just a lack of symptoms.

  If you have a family, or some loved ones, including yourself, it’s important to your overall health that you start taking Thermo-Sea by West Coast today. If you want to buy a bottle for everyone of your family members, (a bottle will last about one month) I’m willing to give you a discount. Talk to me about how many bottles you want, and I’ll give you that magical discount.

How To Use Arginine

How to Use Arginine

Today I’m going to show you how to use arginine to boost your body’s supply of nitric oxide, and why that’s important for your telomeres. You’ll also discover how arginine can improve other aspects of your health through stronger muscles, and the best form of arginine to take.

Muscle loss with aging is something that should be on every older persons mind.

Sarcopenia is age-related loss of muscle mass. I’ve helped thousands of patients prevent this, and gain muscle mass with age to stay independent and active. It’s a focus of anti-aging medicine because healthy muscles boost your resting metabolism, make you more vigorous and keep you trim.

With Arginine, the most powerful of the alpha-amino acids, you can prevent muscle loss and restore lost muscle. That’s because muscles use Arginine as raw material to make nitric oxide.

About 2-3 hours after working out, your muscle cells activate growth factors via nitric oxide. These activate stem cells to grow into new muscle cells. After 24 hours the stem cells start to develop. If you increase your nitric oxide production in this period you’ll get stronger faster.

One study showed that 3 grams of Arginine dramatically boosted muscle mass and strength in just 8 weeks. It also reduced body fat.¹

But boosting nitric oxide with arginine also helps maintain telomeres. Recently, a study from Circulation Research examined the effect of nitric oxide on telomere length. They found boosting nitric oxide helped maintain telomeres and reduced the number of the cells that died prematurely.²

This can give your body a huge boost when it comes to preventing sarcopenia. The reason is that people with sarcopenia have shorter telomeres than those who don’t suffer from this muscle-shrinking condition.³

Nitric oxide helps tell your telomeres to create younger cells again—not the old ones most adults are stuck with. This keeps your muscles young and strong, and helps you look, feel and move like a younger person.

To maintain healthy muscles and longer telomeres, I recommend taking Pro-Arg9, One to two packets a day.

You’ll get the most from arginine if you take it in powder form like Pro-Arg9 (Available at the front desk). To build lost muscle and maintain the length and youth of your telomeres, start with a loading dose of 1 pack a day. Then take 1-2 packs daily for maintenance.

Because arginine is an amino acid, proteins compete with its absorption. For this reason, you will absorb more of it if you take it between meals. Simply take a sachet and mix it with water.

Top 10 Research Breakthrough's In The Last Decade

t

Courtesy of Dr. Christopher Kent.

One of the pleasant tasks I have in editing “On Purpose” is the opportunity to review hundreds of chiropractic research articles each month which have a direct bearing on health issues. From these, 60-to-80 per month are judged to be of particular interest to practicing chiropractors. Some studies, particularly those relating to back pain, are well-known to most D.C.s.

Yet, there are fascinating papers which have been largely ignored by the profession (and the Health Care Industry as a whole). I offer ten of my favorites from the last ten years. They are not in any particular order. Each has tremendous potential for further investigation.

1. Decreased Costs and Utilization of Medical Services with Chiropractic Care

Spectacular decreases in the utilization of medical services and their attendant costs were observed when Doctors of Chiropractic were used as first contact providers. In an Independent Practice Association (IPA) which permitted patients to select a doctor of chiropractic as their primary care physician, clinical and cost utilization based on 70,274 member-months over a seven-year period demonstrated decreases of 60.2 percent in hospital admissions, 59 percent hospital days, 62 percent outpatient surgeries and procedures, and 85 percent pharmaceutical costs when compared with conventional medicine. These were across the board savings, not merely back and neck cases.

Sarnat RL, Winterstein J, Cambron JA: Clinical utilization and cost outcomes from an integrative medicine independent physician association: an additional 3-year update. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2007 May;30(4):263-9.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17509435

2. Blood Pressure Regulation and Upper Cervical Chiropractic Adjustment

The scope of chiropractic is as broad as the scope of influence of the human nervous system. This landmark study was a randomized, controlled trial of hypertensive patients. Those in the intervention group received a form of upper cervical chiropractic care (NUCCA). The authors wrote, “We conclude that restoration of Atlas alignment is associated with marked and sustained reductions in BP similar to the use of two-drug combination therapy.” This study received extensive positive exposure in the media.

3. Benefits of a Comprehensive Wellness Program Implemented by Chiropractors

A retrospective study of a standardized, 18 week wellness protocol was shown to improve weight, heart rate, blood pressure, strength, body-mass index, and forced vital capacity. The wellness protocol focused on diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and one-on-one coaching. The author also reported, “All of the participating clinics practice a form of chiropractic that involves management of vertebral subluxation. This application of chiropractic is not solely directed at spinal manipulation for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal pain syndromes. It is based on the contention that misalignments and/or abnormal motion of vertebral motion units may compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health and well-being.”

4. Mental Health and Chiropractic

From the establishment of in-patient chiropractic sanitariums to publication of a text with contributions from two Nobel Laureates, doctors of chiropractic have a long history of providing care for persons with mental health issues. The PRISM (Psychological response in spinal manipulation) study was a systematic review of psychological outcomes in twelve randomised controlled trials. The authors reported a small improvement in psychological outcomes after spinal manipulation compared with verbal interventions and other physical treatments, with small and medium sized standardized mean differences (SMDs) in favor of manipulation compared to primary care and advice. The potential of chiropractic care to improve psychological outcomes deserves further exploration.

Williams NH1, Hendry M, Lewis R, Russell I, Westmoreland A, Wilkinson C: Psychological response in spinal manipulation (PRISM): a systematic review of psychological outcomes in randomised controlled trials. Complement Ther Med. 2007 Dec;15(4):271-83. Epub 2007 Mar 8.

5. Surgery Less Likely if a Doctor of Chiropractic is Seen First

A study looking at 1885 workers, 174 of which had lumbar spine surgery in the last three years, sought to identify early predictors of having lumbar spine surgery. The authors reported “Approximately 42.7% of workers who first saw a surgeon had surgery, in contrast to only 1.5% of those who saw a chiropractor. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the multivariate model was 0.93 (95% confidence interval, 0.92-0.95), indicating excellent ability to discriminate between workers who would versus would not have surgery.”

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23238486

6. Chiropractic Care Associated with Satisfaction, Functional and Self-Rated Health of Medicare Patients.

This study used a model to determine “the effect of chiropractic relative to medical care on decline in 5 functional measures and 2 measures of self-rated health among 12,170 person-year observations.” The authors concluded that “chiropractic is significantly protective against 1-year decline in activities of daily living, lifting, stooping, walking, self-rated health, and worsening health after 1 year. Persons using chiropractic are more satisfied with their follow-up care and with the information provided to them.”

Weigel PA, Hockenberry JM, Wolinsky FD: Chiropractic use in the medicare population: prevalence, patterns, and associations with 1-year changes in health and satisfaction with care. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2014 Oct;37(8):542-51. doi:10.1016/j.jmpt.2014.08.003. Epub 2014 Sep 16.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=25233887

7. Asymptomatic Persons Benefit from Chiropractic Care

A review of literature was conducted using the terms “asymptomatic” “normal” “pain-free” “healthy” or “free from physical injury.” The author concluded, “The data reviewed lend support to the contention that chiropractic adjustments, often for the purpose of correcting vertebral subluxation, confer measurable health benefits to people regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms. A significant amount of preliminary evidence supports that people without symptoms can benefit from chiropractic care. Improved function can be objectively measured in asymptomatic individuals following chiropractic care in a number of body systems often by relatively non-invasive means. It is plausible that chiropractic care may be of benefit to every function of the body and have the potential for long-term, overall health benefit to those receiving chiropractic care.”

8. Neurovertebral Influence Upon the Autonomic Nervous System

In a 2 part series, Rome assessed nearly 500 papers addressing spine-related neural reflexes upon organic symptoms, signs and conditions and the somato-autonomic influence. This incredible resource should be read by every practicing chiropractor, particularly those who see the value of chiropractic care as limited to musculoskeletal pain syndromes. The review includes visceral, immune, endocrine, and cognitive issues.

9. Reorganizational Healing and Chiropractic

Reorganizational healing offers a new paradigm or world view. It is described as an approach to personal awareness, acceptance, and transformation spanning the spectrum from illness to new levels of wellness in behavior and consciousness. The authors state, “Reorganizational Healing emerged from three disciplines developed by Donald Epstein: 1) Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) care, 2) Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI) exercises, and 3) an energetic educational discipline (EED) that is in an informal stage of development. These three disciplines arose from practical application, qualitative and empirical research, as well as a broad theoretical base including Integral Theory. Some major developments from these methodologies are described below in order to show the transdisciplinary roots of ROH. While ROH developed from these three methodologies, it transcends and includes them.” This is a very heady work, and offers an exciting model for discovery, transformation, awakening, or integration.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19450165

    10. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Chiropractic

Decreased heart rate variability is associated with all-cause mortality, depression, diabetes, air pollution, impaired cognitive performance, and memory retrieval. A growing body of evidence from across disciplines suggests the HRV may be used to address adaptive capacity and autonomic nervous system balance. The authors wrote, “Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis has been used extensively as a measurement of fitness level, and recent studies now indicate that it may be a useful tool in detecting and following disease processes. Heart rate variability analysis determines the balance between PNS and SNS using time and frequency domain measurements. Heart rate variability has been used clinically to determine the balance of the autonomic nervous system.” In this study, the authors collected pre and post HRV data on 625 patients in 96 chiropractic practices. 132 patients were followed for a four week period. The authors reported that “The chiropractic care group showed a significant improvement in HRV on both the single-visit and the 4-week visit groups, but not in the control group.”

I hope that these articles inspire you, and bring you to a higher level of certainty. The common message: 

Chiropractic care affects every dimension of the human experience.

Chronic Inflammation: The Root Cause of a Multitude of Diseases

What Causes Inflammation???

What Causes Inflammation

What is inflammation?

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury, infection, or a foreign invader that may cause an acute or chronic reaction. The inflammatory response serves several important functions in your body, which are listed below.

1. The body tries to defend itself against what it perceives as a foreign invader (virus, bacteria, fungi, etc.).

2. The body attempts to detoxify itself when it has inflammation.

3. The body wants to facilitate healing if there is any inflammation.

Inflammation is “necessary” for healing, but when it becomes chronic
and gets out of control, problems start. The chronic reaction is usually a low-grade reaction.

You have probably experienced various symptoms related to cuts and bruises, or infectious diseases like the cold or flu. If you have pus running out of an infected cut - - this is a warning sign, as are runny noses, watery eyes, and coughing.

Any disease ending in ‘itis’ refers to an inflammatory condition, such as arthritis, bursitis, neuritis, and bronchitis.

But other diseases can also result from the inflammation process, and any cell, tissue, or organ in the body can be affected by inflammation.

If you want to get a handle on “inflammation” with a simple to use, all natural product, that you can take on a daily basis for the best health, call the office today, or tell the front desk when you’re in the office that you want the all new proprietary product, INFLAMMATION from West Coast.

Check out this short 1.34 minute video that highlights all of the systems in your body affected by inflammation.

Why Take Minerals

Why Take Minerals?

     Simple question, simple answer. If you’re not taking minerals, you’re not doing what it takes to stay healthy, lose weight, and slow down the aging process.

Here’s what I mean. A lot of people do not know the difference between vitamins and minerals and therefore they don’t take them.

     If you read this short report, you’ll be smarter than 90% of the people around you… GUARANTEED.

     Although these things are all considered micronutrients, vitamins and minerals differ in two basic ways.

·        Vitamins are organic and can be broken down by heat, air, or acid.

·        Minerals are inorganic and hold on to their chemical structure.

     So what’s this matter to you?

     The easiest way to get minerals into your body is through Fusion Minerals. West Coast’s liquid minerals get into your system fast.

     But here’s something else.

It’s tougher to shuttle vitamins from food and other sources into your body because of a few things like cooking, storage, and them having a simple exposure to air. These little things can inactivate these more fragile compounds.

Interacting—in good ways and bad

Many micronutrients interact, kind of like pouring oil into some water. Those two don’t interact well.

     Vitamin D enables your body to pluck calcium from food sources passing through your digestive tract rather than harvesting it from your bones which is really smart.

     Here’s another. Vitamin C helps you absorb iron. Did you know that? The interplay of micronutrients isn’t always cooperative either.

For example, Vitamin C blocks your body’s ability to assimilate the essential mineral copper.

And even a minor overload of the mineral manganese can worsen iron deficiency, so it’s really important that you understand. Getting the right minerals is not just about taking a pill that says potassium THIS or potassium THAT.

Here’s what I recommend. West Coast’s Fusion Minerals is an herbal combination containing ALL the macro minerals in natures perfect balance.

Now what does Fusion Minerals consist of?

Things like: Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Sulfur, Chloride and Phosphorus.

Today more than ever we are seeing more and more macro mineral deficiencies. The symptoms are everywhere, people are going to the medical doctors just to cover up their symptoms, and we have a side effect FREE formula that works.

In this short report I’m trying to provide you with a list of symptoms broken down by each macro mineral so when you start feeing bad, you’ll at least be able to look it up and find out what you want and need.

And just to make this easy on you and everyone in your family, West Coast’s proprietary Fusion Minerals - - is a complete product. Just taking two dropperfuls in the a.m. and the p.m., this little regiment gives you all the macro minerals in liquid food form - - that your body recognizes at the cellular level.

When that happens, your body absorbs them more easily.

If you want to stay as healthy as possible, never take isolated mineral tablets or capsules. Things like a magnesium tablet or capsule.

Isolated minerals are hard to digest and create an

imbalance of other minerals in your body causing more harm than good to your health.

     * Remember these macro minerals,  trace minerals and the solution I’m discussing with you today ARE key factors in any Weight Loss or Health Program you undertake!

    So what I’d like to do now is share some symptoms with you. Read them over, find out what symptoms you have, and then make some notes.

These are the things you’re going to have to watch from this point forward if you’re really interested in keeping your health… well maintained.

Symptoms of Calcium Deficiencies.

Þ   Memory loss

Þ   Muscle spasms

Þ   Numbness

Þ   Tingling

Þ   Depression

Þ   Hallucination

Þ   Disability

Þ   Spinal fractures

Þ   Inability to walk

Sometimes we just want to blame how we feel on bugs and viruses, when in reality it’s not even their fault. It’s ours.

If you’re not giving your body the minerals it needs, there is absolutely no way it can function like it’s supposed to.

Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiencies.

·        Calcium deficiency

·        Poor heart health

·        Weakness

·        Muscle cramps

·        Tremors

·        Nausea

·        Anxiety

·        High blood pressure

·        Type II diabetes

·        Respiratory issues

·        Dizziness

·        Fatigue

·        Potassium deficiency

·        Difficulty swallowing

·        Poor memory

·        Confusion

I know that if I’m dizzy, tired, have difficulty swallowing, poor memory, or even confused, I always think it’s just stress, even though it’s most likely a mineral deficiency.

Symptoms of Sodium Deficiencies

Recognizing symptoms of sodium deficiency is important, because when left untreated a decreased level of consciousness, a coma and possibly death may also occur when blood sodium levels drop.

·        Gastrointestinal distress

·        Decreased appetite

·        Nausea

·        Vomiting

·        Brain dysfunction

·        Headache

·        Lethargy

·        Fatigue

·        Confusion

·        Irritability

·        Hallucinations

If you have a headache, your tired, irritable, or your vomiting, you might have an issue with a lack of minerals. Most people never look in the most obvious places.

Symptoms of Potassium Deficiencies.

·        Blood pressure

·        Normal water balance

·        Muscle contractions

·        Nerve impulses

·        Digestion

·        Heart rhythm

·        pH balance

If you want to have a strong nervous system it’s imperative that you take minerals in the right dosages. That goes for your blood pressure as well. Now remember, these are symptoms of potassium deficiency. If you’re not thinking about a mineral deficient, you’ll never find out what the real problem just might be. It’ll be worth looking into if it ever happens to you.

Symptoms of Sulfur Deficiencies

Sulfur helps create the connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons and ligaments; assists in joint health; and may reduce pain in the body by slowing the nerve impulses that send pain signals to your brain.  Anyone over the age of 40 who is suffering from aches and pains, and painful joints should consider taking Fusion Minerals just for this one reason.

You may not think sulfur is that important, but they’re all important and it’s important that they are all given to you in the correct dosage. Sulfur is a component of the essential amino acids.

Glutathione, an antioxidant, also contains sulfur.

Sulfur deficiencies reduce the functions of these compounds, which can result in:

Þ   poor growth and

Þ   reduced protein synthesis

Þ   increased oxidative

Þ   xenobiotic damage to your cells.

Symptoms of Chloride Deficiencies

o   Loss of appetite

o   Muscle weakness

o   Lethargy

o   Dehydration

o   Heavy sweating

o   Over-hydrationo   Burns

o   Congestive heart failure

o   Kidney disorders

o   Addison's disease

o   Excessive fluid loss due to prolonged diarrhea or vomiting.

If you’re getting weaker as you’re getting older, and that happens to 99% of the older generation, you might want to consider taking something that may help you become stronger while warding off kidney disorders, Addisons disease, and even some excessive fluid loss.

Symptom of Phosphorus Deficiencies

·       Weak bones

·        Tiredness

·        Reduction in appetite

·        Pain  

·        Stiffness in the joints

·        Lack of energy

·        Occurrence of infections

·        Confusion

One last thing.

I know you’re busy, but I want you to take the time you’ll need to read this small last request.

Today with the GMO foods, lack of nutrients in our soils combined with toxic chemical fertilization, unfortunately its very difficult to get the minerals we all need for ACHIEVING ultimate health and weight loss.

West Coast has the solution with their Fusion Minerals and Thermo-Sea Formula, which I consider to help you have that perfect macro mineral and trace mineral solution for your HEALTH and potential Weight Loss. Get a bottle for every member of your family and start helping your body feel good with these amazing proprietary formulas.
