Diseases of the heart and circulation are so common and the public is so well acquainted with the major symptoms that result from cardiovascular disorders that patients, and occasionally physicians, wrongly attribute many unrelated complaints to cardiovascular disease (CVD).(1) It should not be a surprise that this occurs since most patients are aware that cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. There are four principle properties of the cardiovascular system that can be evaluated to provide information to help manage cardiovascular disease.(2) These include:
movement of electrical signals through the heart
heart pump function
blood flow through the heart
anatomy
Ischemia is a decrease in the amount of oxygen flowing to the heart due to a decrease in blood flow to the heart. Ischemia is noticed most frequently as chest discomfort. Heart function that is adequate at rest may not be adequate during physical stress or strain. Thus, a history of chest pain or discomfort only during activity is characteristic of heart disease. Decreases in the pumping ability of the heart frequently appear as weakness and fatigue. As the disease becomes more severe, the skin may become pale, the blood pressure can be low and the patient may even occasionally pass out. A failing heart can cause fluid (edema) to build up throughout various parts of the body and could cause shortness of breath. When the blood vessels cause obstructions to blood flow the symptoms resemble congestive heart failure. Arrhythmias or irregular heart rhythms can suddenly develop. All of these signs and symptoms may disappear as quickly as they developed.
Patients with cardiovascular disease may also be completely without symptoms. They may also have high blood pressure, a heart murmur, an abnormal chest x-ray or an abnormal electro cardiogram (ECG or EKG). In cardiovascular disease, taking a medical history, interview, and physical examination remain the most important parts of patient assessment.(3) While there are many technologically advanced tests available, they are only effective when used with a complete medical history and physical examination. A medical history enables the examiner to establish a relationship with the patient, develop an awareness of how the patient feels about the problems and their quality of life, as well as an evaluation of the problem’s severity.(4) Particular attention should be paid to the family history.
There are many risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Three that cannot be changed are older age, male gender, and a family history of CVD. Additionally, three other major risk factors include cigarette smoking, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Other identified factors associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease include lack of exercise, diabetes, obesity, too much alcohol, increased homocysteine levels, certain infections and inflammation, estrogens, androgens, and certain psychosocial factors. The combination of multiple risk factors must also be considered.
The American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) have set up guidelines for preventing heart attack and death in patients with cardiovascular disease.(5) Their recommendations are:
Stop smoking; including cigarettes, cigars, pipes or other types of smoking.
Lower your cholesterol; talk to your healthcare professional to find out what your goal cholesterol levels are (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides).
Your blood pressure should be 140/90 mmHg or less; if you have heart failure or kidney disease, less than 130/85 mmHg; if you have diabetes, less than 130/80 mmHg.
Exercise; 30 minutes of activity 3 to 4 times per week, this is best if done every day.
If you have diabetes your HbA1c should be less than 7%. The HbA1c is also known as the glycosylated hemoglobin test. In this lab test, a small blood sample determines the average blood glucose over a given period of time, usually several months.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) should be between 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2. The BMI is a measure of a healthy weight for your height. Talk to your healthcare professional or see the "Obesity, Weight Loss" health condition to learn how to calculate your BMI.
Coenzyme Q10 is an important, vitamin-like compound that is present throughout the body. While there are 10 other coenzyme Q compounds present in nature, coenzyme Q10 is the only one present in humans. Although coenzyme Q10 is widely used throughout Europe and Asia, its value is just beginning to be recognized in the United States for its support of cardiovascular health and more.
Coenzyme Q10's benefits are due to the following two attributes. First, Co-Q10 is an important fat-soluble antioxidant that is uniquely able to protect the cells' energy producing machinery, known as mitochondria, from free radical damage.(1) Second, coenzyme Q10 is necessary for the production of energy in all cells of the body.
Even though coenzyme Q10 occurs in the cells of all plants and animals, dietary sources do not provide adequate levels of this nutrient.

Shaklee Distributor: Say Goodbye to Hair Loss!
New, Natural, Clinically-Proven Hair Care Line - Reverses Damage, Adds Volume
Fine and thinning hair is an increasing concern for both men and women, especially with so many factors - stress, chemical processing, and poor nutrition - contributing to the problem. In response to the millions of consumers looking for a way to maintain or restore their hair's vitality, MGM supplement (a shaklee distributor)introduces ProSanté, a clinically proven hair care line that consists of a special scalp treatment, two shampoos, two conditioners and a finishing spray.
With common physical and environmental stresses often leaving healthy hair dull and lifeless, ProSanté helps to reverse visible damage and keep hair "awake" and vital. Independent testing has shown that the ProSanté line dramatically thickens hair and reduces hair loss due to breakage from combing, resulting in a thicker and fuller head of hair.
"There has been such a huge demand among women, not just men, for a solution to fine and thinning hair," said Jim Greene, Vice President of Research and Development at Shaklee Corporation. "ProSanté fulfills that need and also delivers thicker and healthier hair that has more body, making it easy to manage everyday."
In clinical studies, 65 percent of users of the ProSanté system experienced a reduction of hair loss during combing, 73 percent saw a reduction in the number of broken hairs and 61 percent of subjects noticed an increase in hair thickness in 90 days.
ProSanté is a patent-pending system of six hair care products that each contains Scalp Health Complex, a proprietary synergy of 10 vitamins, minerals and herbs to help maximize derma availability of vital nutrients and revitalize the scalp and hair. The ProSanté hair care system consists of:
Nourishing Scalp Treatment improves the condition of the scalp to foster healthy hair growth.
Revitalizing Shampoo removes build-up and dirt and restores the shine and luster of naturally healthy hair.
Lightweight Conditioner reduces cuticle cracks, mends split ends and replenishes moisture.
Purifying Shampoo deeply cleanses the hair to remove build-up from styling products without stripping them of their natural moisture.
Replenishing Conditioner helps rebuild hair strength and elasticity with an extra boost of moisture, and restores manageability to unruly hair.
Long-Lasting Finishing Spray provides a natural, long-lasting hold and added UV protection without stiffening the hair.
ProSanté, which is suitable for all hair types, contains a proprietary mix of ingredients that provide vital, derma-available nutrition to ensure healthy, shiny and manageable hair. The hair care system is absolutely non-stripping and safe for daily use for damaged, permed, or color-treated hair.

Shaklee Distributor: Physique and its Physiological Effects
Soy Energizing Protein and Physique
Did you know that all the neurotransmitters in your brain are made from amino acids, the building blocks of protein. When you are under stress and/or lifting weights, as many of you do while you are training, your need for protein may triple or quadruple. In fact, if you do not eat enough protein while you are lifting weights, you are simply putting more stress on the body and will not develop the gorgeous muscles that many of us desire. Also, if you do not eat enough protein while you are lifting weights, you will end up feeling hungrier.
The solution: Listen to what your body is asking for. MGM Supplement has several excellent protein formulations I have used for years. When a doctor told me I was deficient in six essential amino acids and offered to give me amino acid pills, I decided to use the MGM protein instead. MGM Supplement (a shaklee distributor) Physique is the only body-building shake that has been written up in scientific journals and proven to help you build muscle after working out. When your blood sugar level drops, so does your serotonin level. MGM protein shakes have been proven to balance your blood sugar for at least four hours after you drink them.
If muscle soreness has ever kept you from exercising, then your body could use the benefits of Physique. Physique contains Bio-Build to give you the nutrients you need to rapidly recover and repair muscle tissue. It relieves muscle aches caused by lactic acid buildup after a workout in the gym or in the backyard.
With 18 vitamins and minerals and essential amino acids, it gives your muscles a healthy recovery and helps you avoid post-workout pain.

Shaklee Distributor: Motor Cross Tests Physique and Performance
APPLICATION: anyone who rides, sweats and needs more energy PRICE: 2 lbs., 10 oz. of Physique for $41.95 and 1 lb., 3 oz. of Performance for $9.70
With motocross being the second-most demanding sport in the world, physical conditioning is probably the most important yet under-looked performance advantage out there. Just like hopping up your motor or suspension, there are always ways to better your body. We heard good things about MGM Sports Nutrition (a shaklee distributor) from Alan Gerkey of All Pro MX Training, the same guy that trains stars like Stephane Roncada, Travis Preston and Mike Brandes.
After taking Gerkey's advice and spending a little over a month with the products, we must admit that we're hooked. Though it took a few weeks to feel any significant change, we have experienced an observable difference with late-moto fade. MGM Supplement (a shaklee distributor) offers several different products, but we concentrated our testing efforts on the Performance and Physique drink mixes.
Shaklee Performance is a drink similar to Gatorade but way better. Water and other sports drinks only have a 50% absorption rate, whereas Performance has a 70% rate. When the body loses 2% of its fluids (basically, when thirst starts), it begins to lose muscular strength and performance declines, which is where Shaklee really kicks in. Those last few laps of a long moto were noticeably easier after consuming the products. Another cool thing about Shaklee is that there is no refined sugar in Performance, eliminating any kind of insulin reaction or sugar crash.
The other product we tested, Shaklee Physique, is a recovery drink. Taking it after you ride provides your body with nutrients to speed recovery and repair and rebuild muscle tissue. It also helps prevent that beat-up feeling of motoing all day, which will help you direct all of your attention to your wife, who is wondering where you've been all day!

Shaklee Distributor: Diabetics Can Now Have a Break Because of GRC!!
DIABETES TESTIMONIES
When I was a little girl, I thought that it was normal to feel this perpetual feeling of nausea. The first time I fainted I was seven years old. I have been diabetic since I was an infant. Until MGM Supplement (a shaklee distributor), I did not know that normal people did not feel perpetual nausea. I could not stand in line for anything because I would faint. I continued my life in the way that most diabetics go, puberty was really hard. Eventually some of the adverse results of being diabetic set in - neuropathy, vision problems, kidney problems. The kidney problems started with my first pregnancy. I had more kidney problems with my second pregnancy. Years later, I noticed that a smell of ammonia that would come frequently. I did not use any ammonia products to clean my home so I wondered what I could be smelling. Eventually I learned that the smell of ammonia is a major symptom of kidney failure. Dialysis was the answer. I learned about dialysis. I did not want to go into dialysis treatment. I do not care to be treated by the medical profession by invasive techniques. I did not want to live if my lifestyle was going to be modified by dialysis treatment. It meant that I would live the remainder of my life on dialysis and that I would get sicker and sicker. I would rather not live.
I learned about kidneys. The kidneys are comprised of a filter system fed by small blood vessels. During my studies, I came to the conclusion that diabetes is a small blood vessel disease. All of the adverse effects of diabetes is because the small blood vessels are not carrying blood to the eyes, the extremities, the kidneys. Someone told me that lecithin would cleanse the small blood vessels and capillaries, I took MGM Supplement lecithin three to four times a day. I was taking a lot of lecithin. I would open the bottle and just pour the capsules into my hand. Within a few days, I noticed that the ammonia smell was getting less. At the end of thirty days, it was gone. Something else happened to my body during that thirty days. My menstrual period was just a brown smudge once every month.
At the end of that thirty days, my next period was four days of red blood. I knew that something had happened to my body. My conclusion about small blood vessels was verified by this change in my menstrual cycle. I have had the test where your urine is measured for a 24 hour time span. Today, I show 80 to 90 percent of kidney function. At a Frontrunners convention about 12 years ago at Marco Island, Florida, there was a speaker there who had been diabetic from the age of 13. She told about how she had gotten herself off insulin. She said that she took the MGM Supplement (a shaklee distributor) Protein frequently all day long. I could hardly wait to get home to start taking the protein all day long. I never dreamed that I could get off insulin, I have been on it for so long, but I did expect to have good results. I started taking protein six to nine times a day. In two weeks I went into insulin shock so badly that people at work called the Rescue Squad to revive me. The next day I took half my dose of insulin because I did not want to have the Rescue Squad called again. I expected to have high blood sugar and to be very thirsty, which is a sign of high blood sugar. I continued taking the protein. To my surprise, my blood sugar did not rise and I did not experience the thirst. I continued to take less insulin.
My insulin story gets better. Two years ago, I bought a home that was 1/4 mile from where I was living. When I moved, I had the movers move the big stuff and I thought that I could take the small stuff in my car. It turned out to be a lot of work and I reduced my insulin to accommodate all the energy I was using. I was also concerned that all the lifting and carrying would make my muscles tight. Because it would take me several days to complete the task, I wanted to be able to move stuff without muscle stiffness. To remedy the muscle stiffness, I took the Physique that MGM Supplement offers, instead of protein. Remember - I had cut my insulin. To my surprise, I did not need to increase the insulin after the move was complete and my activity was back to normal. The Shaklee Physique had some affect on me. I have continued to this day on the Physique and the protein six to nine times each day. Twenty years ago, I was taking from 28 to 35 units of insulin twice every day. Today I take 8 to 12 units on a sliding scale in the morning. Frequently, I eliminate my evening dose of insulin. My blood sugar runs consistently between 90 and 110 in the morning. I have found that if I eat a diet strictly of legumes and whole grains that I can eliminate insulin three to four days a week. As I have continued with the MGM Supplement products, adding more and more of them to my regimen, I have improved and improved. My vision problems are gone. Sometimes, I wear reading glasses. The neuropathy is gone. I had reached a point where I did not really know where my feet were placed. I know where I am placing my feet, I know what position they are in. I am not afraid of falling on my face or tripping over something. My sponsor, Janet said to me one day, "Beth, do you know what this means?" Janet said that my body had built itself up and that I was producing insulin. Well, okay, all that I care about is that I feel better. Since MGM (a shaklee distributor), I do not have that constant nausea, I can stand in lines, I don't faint.
I recently had blood work done to measure my kidney function. The blood work shows normal kidney function. ……….Elisabeth T

Sugar Cravings Gone
My name is Sarah. I feel that I have to write to all my friends about the MGM supplement Glucose Regulation Complex because it has changed my life, and maybe it will be inspiring to others and help change someone's else's life for the better too. I am a wife to a busy husband and a mother of 5 boys and one daughter. The bottom line is that when my life gets overfilled with work or stress, then I run to the cabinet for the sweets or the freezer for cake. After every meal I feel that I am not done until I swallowed some carbs.
My afternoon break is coffee and danish. My evening ends with chocolate cake or ice cream. Two weeks ago Shaklee Corporation introduced the wonderful product, Glucose Regulation Complex. I felt that Shaklee has produced a winner, but I really didn't know how much of a winner until I started taking the product...Dear friends, I am emotional as I am writing because I can say this: "Glucose Regulation Complex has changed my life!" I don't stop thanking God that Shaklee came out with this. I did not have a single sugar craving since. I am so happy that food has no control over me anymore. My grandmother died from all the complications that come along with diabetes.
It wasn't a pretty picture. I was horrified to think of my future. No, I am not diabetic yet, but I don't even want to risk my body getting it. I believe with my carbohydrate eating habits and my stress factors I would have otherwise stood a great chance [becoming diabetic]. Thanks again, Shaklee for making this new supplement available to us.…………………Sarah S
____________________________________________________________
Ralph and I are using the Glucose Regulation Complex and finding our desire for food has changed. We have one friend who is a diabetic who is finding his sugar count is stabilizing. However, if you are diabetic we suggest you talk to your doctor and keep close track of your sugar because you may not need as much medication. Wouldn't that be wonderful!................. Mary Ann B

Medical Doctor's Comments about MGM Supplement Glucose Regulation Complex
Shaklee is on to something good! The Glucose Regulation Complex should be taken by almost everyone in the U.S. I have been constantly concerned with the blood sugar problem in this country for many years. If not diabetes, reactive hypoglycemia is most common today. It seems to me, most people won't eat a good breakfast with protein.... Most people start the day in a hypoglycemic state (low blood sugar). Then they wonder why they get sleepy [in the] afternoon. They wonder why their resistance is low. They wonder why their skin and hair is not healthy. They wonder why there eye sight is changing. They are concerned why they have so many headaches. They say they are tired all the time. Let me tell you, if your body can't regulate the blood sugar levels, you have health problems. I have looked over the contents of your new Glucose Regulation Complex. This supplement should be taken by almost every adult I know of. There are exceptions. A doctor can be consulted if there is any doubt. Obviously, I am very impressed with this supplement. Don't sell it short. I am going to get my family and patients on this product as soon as I receive it. It is good insurance. Thanks, Jim for sending me the information. …………….. Dr. William P.
__________________________________________________________
I just wanted to let you know how I have been feeling and what my glucose levels have been since starting on the MGM Supplement (a shaklee distributor) Glucose Regulation Complex. My blood sugars were running 180-220 after meals BEFORE I started taking Shaklee GRC. I take two capsules daily with my evening meal. For the present, I am still taking my morning diabetic medication, and I take insulin at bedtime....but I was taking 60 I.U. on NPH insulin...now I'm down to 30 I.U. My blood sugar levels since starting on the GRC have not been above 140. My bedtime glucose readings used to be HIGH --- 180 and higher...now they are around 125-140. I started taking GRC the first part of May, so it has only been two weeks. I am really pleased and happy with the results that I have been getting. I also feel so much better. Not so tired all the time anymore!" ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Nancy
_____________________________________________________________
I am not easily swayed by promises to bring results for feeling better. I have sought to live a healthy lifestyle by eating right and with consistent exercise. In spite of my best efforts over the last 5 months, I lost no weight and felt little difference in my energy level. When I called my friend, Ann, to ask about something to help me rest at night, she asked about my blood sugar level. I have been concerned about that for a while, as I was a gestational diabetic with 2 of my pregnancies. She suggested I try the Shaklee Glucose Regulation Complex (GRC), as there were people claiming to sleep better and she said, 'The weight is falling off of them.' I thought, 'Sure, I've heard this before!' but was willing to give GRC a try as I felt I was at the end of my rope. To my great amazement, the first night I slept better and on the second day, my I felt 'steady' all day long and didn't experience lows and highs of energy throughout the day. I was eating less food, feeling more satisfied and was continuing my exercise program. After one week, I had slept each night without sleeping aid. This was new for me as I have had chronic pain for 6-1/2 years from a series of car accidents. I was feeling better, having less headaches and had lost one pound, and 1/2 inch each in my bust, waist and hips! This was amazing to me after NO results for so long (I am serious when I say I have been extremely diligent over the past 5 months, you can ask those around me for proof of my efforts!) After 9 days on GRC, I was completing an hour walk and said to my friend, 'I feel so differently, as though my pulse and blood pressure are lower than they have been.' Last year my heart rate shot up to 140 resting as a result of lack of sleep and chronic pain. Basically, my central nervous system got stressed and went out of sync.
After exercising this past year, my pulse has rarely been below 130 for the first 5-10 minutes after exercise. We got out my blood pressure cuff within the first minutes after walking and took my measurements. My blood pressure was 124/85 and my pulse was 87! I was thrilled and I am encouraged since my pulse before ranged from 125-140 right after exercise. I am hoping that I will eventually be able to get off of my medication for my heart rate! Now 13 days from taking the first GRC capsule, I have lost another inch on my waist (1-1/2 inches in 13 days!!!). I have carefully measured and am certain that I have been correct in my numbers. Overall, I am beginning to feel rested and am awakening in the morning ready to get out of bed. I am losing weight and inches and feeling much better. My blood pressure and pulse are coming down and I am experiencing a "steady" feeling throughout the day. Give Glucose Regulation Complex a chance. Perhaps you will be feeling better, too!" ………………..Beth L
________________________________________________________________
After just one week of using the new MGM Supplement Glucose Regulation Complex product, here are my results...
- Started using GRC on Monday, April 29.
- The first 3 days did not experience any noticeable differences.
- Day 4..realized that my blood sugar levels seemed more even.
- Day 5 ...did not crave carbs...WOW, that is BIG!
- Day 6 ...made Sunday dinner for our daughters and their families. Put out chips and guacamole and literally had a couple chips and felt more than satisfied (that's a big deal to me)
- Day 7...... got on the scale and discovered I lost 2 lbs.! I like this side benefit!
I don't ever want to be without this product!" ………. Elena

Because it would take me several days to complete the task, I wanted to be able to move stuff without muscle stiffness. To remedy the muscle stiffness, I took the Physique that MGM Supplement offers, instead of protein. Remember - I had cut my insulin. To my surprise, I did not need to increase the insulin after the move was complete and my activity was back to normal. The Shaklee Physique had some affect on me. I have continued to this day on the Physique and the protein six to nine times each day. Twenty years ago, I was taking from 28 to 35 units of insulin twice every day. Today I take 8 to 12 units on a sliding scale in the morning. Frequently, I eliminate my evening dose of insulin. My blood sugar runs consistently between 90 and 110 in the morning. I have found that if I eat a diet strictly of legumes and whole grains that I can eliminate insulin three to four days a week. As I have continued with the MGM Supplement products, adding more and more of them to my regimen, I have improved and improved. My vision problems are gone. Sometimes, I wear reading glasses. The neuropathy is gone. I had reached a point where I did not really know where my feet were placed. I know where I am placing my feet, I know what position they are in. I am not afraid of falling on my face or tripping over something. My sponsor, Janet said to me one day, "Beth, do you know what this means?" Janet said that my body had built itself up and that I was producing insulin. Well, okay, all that I care about is that I feel better. Since MGM (a shaklee distributor), I do not have that constant nausea, I can stand in lines, I don't faint.
I recently had blood work done to measure my kidney function. The blood work shows normal kidney function. ……….Elisabeth T

Sugar Cravings Gone
My name is Sarah. I feel that I have to write to all my friends about the MGM supplement Glucose Regulation Complex because it has changed my life, and maybe it will be inspiring to others and help change someone's else's life for the better too. I am a wife to a busy husband and a mother of 5 boys and one daughter. The bottom line is that when my life gets overfilled with work or stress, then I run to the cabinet for the sweets or the freezer for cake. After every meal I feel that I am not done until I swallowed some carbs.
My afternoon break is coffee and danish. My evening ends with chocolate cake or ice cream. Two weeks ago Shaklee Corporation introduced the wonderful product, Glucose Regulation Complex. I felt that Shaklee has produced a winner, but I really didn't know how much of a winner until I started taking the product...Dear friends, I am emotional as I am writing because I can say this: "Glucose Regulation Complex has changed my life!" I don't stop thanking God that Shaklee came out with this. I did not have a single sugar craving since. I am so happy that food has no control over me anymore. My grandmother died from all the complications that come along with diabetes.
It wasn't a pretty picture. I was horrified to think of my future. No, I am not diabetic yet, but I don't even want to risk my body getting it. I believe with my carbohydrate eating habits and my stress factors I would have otherwise stood a great chance [becoming diabetic]. Thanks again, Shaklee for making this new supplement available to us.…………………Sarah S

Ralph and I are using the Glucose Regulation Complex and finding our desire for food has changed. We have one friend who is a diabetic who is finding his sugar count is stabilizing. However, if you are diabetic we suggest you talk to your doctor and keep close track of your sugar because you may not need as much medication. Wouldn't that be wonderful!................. Mary Ann B

Medical Doctor's Comments about MGM Supplement Glucose Regulation Complex
Shaklee is on to something good! The Glucose Regulation Complex should be taken by almost everyone in the U.S. I have been constantly concerned with the blood sugar problem in this country for many years. If not diabetes, reactive hypoglycemia is most common today. It seems to me, most people won't eat a good breakfast with protein.... Most people start the day in a hypoglycemic state (low blood sugar). Then they wonder why they get sleepy [in the] afternoon. They wonder why their resistance is low. They wonder why their skin and hair is not healthy. They wonder why there eye sight is changing. They are concerned why they have so many headaches. They say they are tired all the time. Let me tell you, if your body can't regulate the blood sugar levels, you have health problems. I have looked over the contents of your new Glucose Regulation Complex. This supplement should be taken by almost every adult I know of. There are exceptions. A doctor can be consulted if there is any doubt. Obviously, I am very impressed with this supplement. Don't sell it short. I am going to get my family and patients on this product as soon as I receive it. It is good insurance. Thanks, Jim for sending me the information. …………….. Dr. William P.
__________________________________________________________
I just wanted to let you know how I have been feeling and what my glucose levels have been since starting on the MGM Supplement (a shaklee distributor) Glucose Regulation Complex. My blood sugars were running 180-220 after meals BEFORE I started taking Shaklee GRC. I take two capsules daily with my evening meal. For the present, I am still taking my morning diabetic medication, and I take insulin at bedtime....but I was taking 60 I.U. on NPH insulin...now I'm down to 30 I.U. My blood sugar levels since starting on the GRC have not been above 140. My bedtime glucose readings used to be HIGH --- 180 and higher...now they are around 125-140. I started taking GRC the first part of May, so it has only been two weeks. I am really pleased and happy with the results that I have been getting. I also feel so much better. Not so tired all the time anymore!" ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Nancy
_____________________________________________________________
I am not easily swayed by promises to bring results for feeling better. I have sought to live a healthy lifestyle by eating right and with consistent exercise. In spite of my best efforts over the last 5 months, I lost no weight and felt little difference in my energy level. When I called my friend, Ann, to ask about something to help me rest at night, she asked about my blood sugar level. I have been concerned about that for a while, as I was a gestational diabetic with 2 of my pregnancies. She suggested I try the Shaklee Glucose Regulation Complex (GRC), as there were people claiming to sleep better and she said, 'The weight is falling off of them.' I thought, 'Sure, I've heard this before!' but was willing to give GRC a try as I felt I was at the end of my rope. To my great amazement, the first night I slept better and on the second day, my I felt 'steady' all day long and didn't experience lows and highs of energy throughout the day. I was eating less food, feeling more satisfied and was continuing my exercise program. After one week, I had slept each night without sleeping aid. This was new for me as I have had chronic pain for 6-1/2 years from a series of car accidents. I was feeling better, having less headaches and had lost one pound, and 1/2 inch each in my bust, waist and hips! This was amazing to me after NO results for so long (I am serious when I say I have been extremely diligent over the past 5 months, you can ask those around me for proof of my efforts!) After 9 days on GRC, I was completing an hour walk and said to my friend, 'I feel so differently, as though my pulse and blood pressure are lower than they have been.' Last year my heart rate shot up to 140 resting as a result of lack of sleep and chronic pain. Basically, my central nervous system got stressed and went out of sync.
After exercising this past year, my pulse has rarely been below 130 for the first 5-10 minutes after exercise. We got out my blood pressure cuff within the first minutes after walking and took my measurements. My blood pressure was 124/85 and my pulse was 87! I was thrilled and I am encouraged since my pulse before ranged from 125-140 right after exercise. I am hoping that I will eventually be able to get off of my medication for my heart rate! Now 13 days from taking the first GRC capsule, I have lost another inch on my waist (1-1/2 inches in 13 days!!!). I have carefully measured and am certain that I have been correct in my numbers. Overall, I am beginning to feel rested and am awakening in the morning ready to get out of bed. I am losing weight and inches and feeling much better. My blood pressure and pulse are coming down and I am experiencing a "steady" feeling throughout the day. Give Glucose Regulation Complex a chance. Perhaps you will be feeling better, too!" ………………..Beth L
________________________________________________________________
After just one week of using the new MGM Supplement Glucose Regulation Complex product, here are my results...
- Started using GRC on Monday, April 29.
- The first 3 days did not experience any noticeable differences.
- Day 4..realized that my blood sugar levels seemed more even.
- Day 5 ...did not crave carbs...WOW, that is BIG!
- Day 6 ...made Sunday dinner for our daughters and their families. Put out chips and guacamole and literally had a couple chips and felt more than satisfied (that's a big deal to me)
- Day 7...... got on the scale and discovered I lost 2 lbs.! I like this side benefit!
I don't ever want to be without this product!" ………. Elena

Green Tea Equals Long Healthy Life
Green tea has long been used in much of the world as a popular beverage and a respected medicinal agent. Early Chinese medical literature lists green tea as an agent to promote digestion, improve mental faculties, decrease flatulence and regulate body temperature. The earliest known record of use dates back to around 2700 B.C. Today, ceremonies, celebrations, relaxation time and ordinary meals usually consist of tea in most parts of the world, except where coffee has become the more popular beverage, like the United States.
Green tea has antioxidant properties. This means it has the ability to protect against oxidative damage to tissues and red blood cells. Though debated, it is important to note that some studies suggest that adding milk to green tea significantly decreases its antioxidant potential.
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association investigated the role of green tea intake in all-cause and cause specific mortality. This study began with over 40,000 Japanese participants, all free from cardiovascular problems or cancer at baseline. The ages of these participants ranged from 40 to 79 years. They were followed up for 11 years relating to all-cause mortality and 7 years for disease-specific mortality. Over the 7 year follow up, 892 participants died from cardiovascular related diseases, and 1134 died due to cancer. The results showed that green tea intake was inversely associated to all-cause mortality as well as cardiovascular-related. The association was stronger in women than in men. Also, the strongest inverse association among cardiovascular diseases was seen in stroke. The authors concluded that, “Green tea consumption is associated with reduced mortality due to all causes and due to cardiovascular disease but not with reduced mortality due to cancer.

Astronauts and Olympic Athletes Powered by MGM Supplements
Did you know that NASA came to MGM Supplement (a shaklee distributor) when they needed a scientifically formulated drink for the special hydration needs of the NASA Astronauts? And MGM came through with what the Astronauts needed.
The drink is called –AstroAid, and it’s very similar to the Shaklee sports hydration drink called Performance. When the scientific community wants the best they turn to MGM for their special needs because MGM delivers!
Can an Olympic Medal-winning ‘secret’ help you perform better? MGM powered elite Olympic Games athletes to 30 medals - 16 of them GOLD! Olympian swimmer Gary Hall Jr., and speed skater Bonnie Blair, as well as famous sports figures like champion golfer Annika Sorenstrom, the US Mogul Ski Team, Jacque Cousteau expedition members and many, many others all use Shaklee sports products to enhance their performance.
But you don’t have to be a rocket scientist or a gold metal Olympic athlete to benefit from Performance. Whether it’s exercising, playing team sports, gardening, being a “weekend warrior” at the church volley ball game or just mowing the lawn, Performance helps get it done and Physique helps you not to be sore afterwards.
Performance is the carbohydrate/electrolyte thirst-quencher that fueled the Daedelus Project which was commissioned by MIT, NASA and The Smithsonian – tripling the world record for human-powered flight. With less than half the sugar of soda, it’s a great alternative summer drink.
Enough Nutrients to Finish the Race
Getting out there's half the battle. Staying out there's the other half. And that's where MGM Performance shines. By keeping your fuel (blood glucose) levels up, Performance allows you to complete what you set out to do... whether it's cycling for hours, or finishing the landscaping project you'd promised to do.
The exclusive OptiCarb formula gives you carbohydrates for endurance and electrolytes for quick rehydration. Clinically proven to maintain essential blood-glucose levels for quick muscle energy and essential fluid for hydration.

Making Money From Your Home With MGM Supplements (Shaklee Distributor)
Benefits Of Network Marekting
-Unlimited Income Potential
-Pick the People you work with
-Small Investment
-Choose you Own Hours PT or FT
-Work from Home
-New & Unique Products
Put these things all together and you have freedom from the RAT RACE.
Earning at home just makes a whole lot of sense for Moms
1. No need for daycare…and the frequent illnesses that go along with it.
2. The ability to witness, firsthand, every milestone…from the first smile and first tooth, to the first step, first words - and first grade.
3. The knowledge that our children are being raised by us, with our values and our beliefs.
4. The ability to choose our child's caregiver - US!
The joy of sharing the formative years with our child, not reading a report from the daycare provider. No matter how wonderful the caregiver is, no matter how loving and nurturing, it's not MOM!
There are also many tax deductions you can claim for a home-based business. In fact, in his book Lower Your Taxes - Big Time, Sandy Botkin, CPA, former IRS attorney and senior tax law specialist, has titled chapter 1, "Why You Would Be Brain Dead Not to Start a Home-Based Business"!
It may be travel expenses, home-office deductions or the hiring of your children. Check with your accountant, but this means the government will keep less of what you earn. Having your own business can save you thousands of dollars each year.
Best of all, YOU are your own boss. You have the ability to regulate and schedule time for important family events. You control your own destiny; you decide how much you work and how much you make. You can earn extra money to put away for the children's education.
You can leave an inheritable monthly income to your children.

Women Ages 20 to 35
Though women at this age may be healthy overall, they generally experience higher levels of stress compared to older women.
• During this demanding phase in life, getting the right nutrients and making sure that energy levels meet expectations are crucial.
• This is "the age of prevention" when it comes to skin care. Starting a good skin care regimen now is essential to helping reduce the appearance of fine lines down the road. Acne can still be a problem at this age, while too little sleep, too much alcohol, and smoking can dull skin.
• Don't forget the sun protection. Too much sun now can set the stage for skin cancers of all types, including melanoma
What MGM Supplement Recomends....
Stress Relief Complex
• Lifts away everyday stress
• Helps relax the body and mind*
GLA Complex
• Helps maintain a sense of well being*
• Helps form prostaglandins, potent substances that help regulate bodily processes like blood flow and arterial wall integrity*
CorEnergy
• Helps resist fatigue naturally*
• Encourages more efficient oxygen utilization

Comparison: MGM Cleaning Products Vs. Walmart Cleaning Products
MGM has been advertising that the Get Clean starter kit replaces $3,400 worth of cleaning products from the store. I thought, that may be true of grocery stores, but probably not Wal-Mart. So, last night I took my kids on a field trip to Wal-Mart and found the prices for the bottles that MGM says Get Clean replaces. (I found this information on the Product Sheet for the Get Clean Starter Kit - for bottle sizes, etc, please refer to that sheet.) I was shocked at the results.
Fantastik: 60 bottles @ $1.78 = $106.80
Windex: 728 bottles @ $4.44 = $3,232.32
Cascade: 2.5 boxes @ $2.38 = $5.95
Downy: 3 bottles @ $4.28 = $12.84
Woolite: $4.74
Clorox Wipes: $2.33
Soft Scrub: $2.66
Bounce: $3.24
Tide: $6.64 (100oz)
Mr. Clean (couldn't find MopNGlow)= 25.5 bottles @ $2.47 = $63.23
Total Wal-Mart cost = $3,441.75
WOW!
Obviously, the biggest savings is with Windex. But with that kind of savings, you can afford to pay a bit more for other MGM cleaning products - especially since they work!
On a side note: I almost picked up a bottle of the new Clorox Anywhere hard surface cleaner. It had such a beautiful bottle, it almost seemed to me that it must be safe to use anywhere. I caught myself, and remembered it's bleach! Not safe at all. (I did not pick up the bottle to read the warning label, but I should have!) The point here is packaging makes such a difference. I'm thrilled with MGM's beautiful packaging. I'd also like to point out that MGM's bottles are all see-through. At Wal-Mart, every other bottle that was pretty was also opaque - you couldn't see what was inside.
Another side note: while trying to find the correct Downy bottle for comparison, I nearly fell over (quite literally) because of the strong, strong scent near the fabric softeners. It was quite overpowering. Fortunately, I was able to get out of the aisle before I got a headache. I'd hate to have to go down that aisle on a regular basis!
Still yet another side note (the last I promise you): I had to make a special trip to Wal-Mart to check out prices. Why? Because I only go there once or twice a year. I don't need to because all my personal care products are delivered right to my door. Convenient? Yes. But with four children with me, it also saves me the aggravation of the whining and begging that Wal-Mart inevitably brings about, and the money I would be tempted to spend (that I know my friends are spending) to buy their kids something just to stop the begging.
I'm thrilled with MGM's products!

Study: Health Leads To Wealth
Linda Young - All Headline News Staff Writer
London, England (AHN) - Researchers have concluded that it's healthy to be wealthy and not just for individuals but for the economy of nations as well.
Researchers studied 10 industrialized nations in Europe and discovered that a healthy population was good for a country's economy. Their findings are reported in BMJ Volume 333.
Among their findings were that just as good health favorably affected a nation's economy poor health adversely affected the economy, Newswise reported.
Researchers wrote in their paper that "ill health was contributing to the low level of economic growth in poor countries."
Researchers looked at the link between health and wealth in rich countries and found that good health increased a person's productivity at work. That equated to higher earning and a longer career, meaning the person earned more money over his or her lifetime.
Researchers also found that poor health not only decreased annual earnings but lifetime earnings as well. That was because people in poor health were more likely to retire early.

CHICAGO --- Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a substance in evening primrose oil and several other plant oils used in herbal medicine inhibits action of Her-2/neu, a cancer gene that is responsible for almost 30 percent of all breast cancers, Northwestern University researchers report.
?Breast cancer patients with Her-2/neu-positive tumors have an aggressive form of the disease and a poor prognosis,? said Ruth Lupu, director of Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Breast Cancer Translational Research Program, who led the study, published in the Nov. 2 [2005] issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Lupu is professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a researcher at The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University.
Lupu and co-investigator Javier Menendez showed that treating cancer cells that overexpressed Her-2/neu with GLA suppressed protein levels of the oncogene. . . .
Menendez is research assistant professor of medicine at Feinberg and a scientist at Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Research Institute.
?In our tests, . . . these findings may reveal a previously unrecognized way of influencing the poor outcome of Her-2/neu-positive cancer patients,? Lupu said.
?GLA?s inhibition of Her-2/neu works in a different manner from that of Herceptin [a drug commonly used in breast cancer treatment],? Menendez said.
?While Herceptin attempts to neutralize thousands of Her-2/neu molecules commonly found in the surface of overexpressing cancer cells, GLA would be more efficient to reduce Her-2/neu levels by preventing the transcription of few Her-2/neu gene copies,? Menendez said.
?Considering that activation and overexpression of the Her-2/neu oncogene are crucial events in the cause, progression and cell sensitivity to various treatments in breast cancer, results of the study reveal a valuable means by which an inexpensive herbal medicine might regulate breast cancer cell growth, metastasis formation and response to chemotherapies and endocrine therapies,? Lupu said. [emphasis mine]
GLA exerts selective toxic effects on cancer cells without affecting normal cells. . . .
GLA is one of two essential fatty acids ? fats that are necessary for maintaining normal functioning and growth of cells, nerves, muscles and organs. Besides evening primrose oil, other sources of GLAs include BORAGEC OIL (a safer source) and black currant seed oil.
Besides Menendez, other authors on the study were Luciano Vellon, Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Research Institute; and Ramon Colomer, head of the medical oncology division at the Institut Catala d?Oncologia, Girona, Spain.
This research was supported by grant BRCTR0403141 from the Susan G. Komen Foundation and BC033538 from the Breast Cancer Program of the Department of Defense.

INCH LOSS PLAN IS FORMULATED TO BREAK THE DIETING CYCLE
A successful weight management solution might seem as elusive to most Americans as the proverbial fountain of youth: according to a report by the Institute of Medicine, over two-thirds of the weight lost by an individual will typically be regained within one year, and almost all within five years. This kind of weight cycling - losing weight only to regain it once more - can have a negative effect on the body's ability to maintain its "set point," or resting metabolic rate, leading to progressive difficulty in losing weight and a vicious cycle of dieting failure.
"Most people don't realize that muscle equals metabolism - one pound of muscle burns upwards of 30 to 50 calories per day," said Dr. Jamie McManus, Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education for health and wellness company Shaklee Corporation. "Many typical diets trigger the body in such a way that they cause weight to be lost from water and muscle, rather than from fat. On the other hand, when muscle is preserved, you lose weight from fat and the body's ability to burn calories (metabolism) is not diminished."
To help those seeking to lose weight from fat, not muscle, Shaklee introduces the Cinch inch loss plan, a comprehensive program formulated to deliver weight loss and inch loss results. Unlike a typical fad diet, Cinch is specifically designed to help users successfully reach their desirable body weight while preserving muscle. Cinch products contain clinically proven ingredients including leucine, a key amino acid which provides a key signal to help the body preserve lean body mass (muscle), protein to help control hunger, and other ingredients to help retain normal blood sugar levels.
"In doing our scientific research, we found a number of clinical studies focusing on how leucine helped body-builders build and preserve lean muscle mass. Shaklee scientists applied that insight - along with 50 years of nutritional expertise and working with elite athletes - to create a solution that helps ordinary people lose weight. The Cinch inch loss plan is simple, convenient and best of all, it works. In fact, we guarantee your satisfaction or your money back."
A twelve-week preliminary clinical trial shows that Cinch helped participants:
Lose weight and inches - over one pound lost per week during the study period.
Burn fat - estimated fat mass decreased by over 16 pounds in 12 weeks.
Preserve lean body mass- estimated lean body mass was maintained over the course of 12 weeks.
Significantly decrease the body's waist-to-hip ratio - a factor that has recently been established as a reliable predictor of cardiovascular disease risk, waist and hip circumferences were reduced by 4.1 inches and 2.6 inches respectively.
"What really impressed me about Shaklee's weight management system, aside from successful weight loss results, was the unusual request made by many study participants for additional products once the trial was over. Apparently, they wanted to continue with the program because of the positive impact it had made in their lives," said Gene Spiller, Ph.D., principal investigator at the Health Research and Studies Center in Los Altos, California.
Cinch is a comprehensive program, yet is easy to incorporate into a variety of lifestyles - from soccer moms to corporate executives on the run to health conscious seniors. The Cinch product line includes:
Cinch Shake. Available in chocolate and vanilla, it contains 24 grams of protein per serving to help control hunger and promote a feeling of fullness.
Cinch 3-in-1 Boost™ Supplement. Exclusive formula contains essential daily vitamins and minerals, provides a thermogenic (calorie burning) booster and other ingredients to help retain normal blood sugar levels.
Cinch Bar. Available in Chocolate Decadence, Peanut Butter Crunch and Lemon Cranberry flavors, the bars contain 130 calories or less per serving while delivering 10 grams of protein.
Cinch Energy Tea Mix. An exclusive blend of green, red and white teas served in single-serving sticks, Energy Tea helps naturally boost energy and contains only five calories per serving.
Cinch products do not contain high fructose corn syrup, trans fats, artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or added preservatives.

Begin by thinking of your home as a toxic waste dump. The average home today contains 62 toxic chemicals � more than a chemistry lab at the turn of the century. More than 72,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since WW II. Less than 2% of synthetic chemicals have been tested for toxicity, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects, or birth defects. The majority of chemicals have never been tested for long-term effects.
In the work place, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must accompany any product used. The work place and the outdoors are considered �legal environments� while the air in homes is not. So regulations for outdoor air pollution and toxins in the workplace are much more strict than in the home.
Health Effects of Chemical Exposure Chemical exposure presents a real danger to you and your family's health and well-being.
Cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960.
Cancer is the Number ONE cause of death for children.
There has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. Breast cancer is the Number ONE killer of women between the ages of 35 and 54. Primary suspects are laundry detergents, household cleaners and pesticides.
Since 1980, asthma has increased by 600%. The Canadian Lung Association and the Asthma Society of Canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers.
ADD/ADHD is epidemic in schools today. Behavioral problems have long been linked to exposure to toxic chemicals and molds.
Chemicals are attracted to, and stored in fatty tissue. The brain is a prime target for these destructive organics because of its high fat content and very rich blood supply.
Chemical and environmental sensitivities are known to cause all types of headaches.
Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, circulatory disorders, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and hormonal problems are diseases commonly related to chemical exposure.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found more than 2500 chemicals in cosmetics that are toxic, cause tumors, reproductive complications, biological mutations and skin and eye irritations.
Chemicals in Household Products There are more than 3 million poisonings every year. Household cleaners are the Number ONE cause of poisoning of children. The top three culprits according to Poison Control: Household cleaners, bleach and medications.
Formaldehyde is one of the largest indoor pollutants in our homes. Symptoms caused by formaldehyde are allergies, cancer, immune system failings, and asthma. Products containing Formaldehyde include: antiperspirants , mouthwash, toothpaste, Tupperware, permanent press clothing, floor waxes, furniture polishes, baggies, coffee, wax paper, and paper money.
Phenols are a major indoor pollutant. Phenols are absorbed by lungs, and skin.
Symptoms include caustic burns, kidney and liver damage and hyperactivity. Products containing Phenols include: acne medications, baking powder, computers, TV sets, mouthwash, sugar substitutes, and wallpaper.
Trusted Brands
Do you think the major products are safe? WRONG! Lysol� is even more dangerous than we thought. It contains phenols and dioxin (Agent Orange).
Bleach must be safe because people have been using it for years, right? WRONG! When using bleach, antiseptics or chlorine in industrial areas, OSHA requires you to wear impervious protective clothing, hard hats, boots, gloves, apron or coveralls, chemical goggles or full face shield and use only in well ventilated areas. There has been a call from the U.S. / Canadian Commission to ban bleach in North America . Bleach is being linked to the rising rates of breast cancer in women, reproductive problems in men and learning and behavioral problems in children.
NTAs were banned in 1970. Lobbying by Proctor & Gamble in 1980 put them back into home products although they are extremely cancer causing. What are they for? ONLY to make more suds in detergents to make you think your clothes are getting cleaner.
In the USA the #1 cause of accidental poisoning is Dawn Dishwashing Detergent. WHY? Because it is the #1 seller. Tide contains Lye and is the #1 polluter. It is also the #1 seller.
Deep Woods and Off have an ingredient called DEET. DEET causes seizures in children and adults.

MGM Supplements for Cataracts
Cataracts
COMMON AILMENTS
NOTE: ALL programs should begin with the following three items:
1) MGM Multivitamin 2) Soy Protein 3) Acidolphilus
THEN: ADD the three items listed first when dealing with the ailments listed below.
CATARACTS:
1.. ZINC: healing & connective tissue repair; immune system booster
2.. VITAMIN C: antioxidant properties to prevent tissue damage
3.. VITAMIN E + SELENIUM: powerful free radical scavenger
4.. FLAVONOIDS: deficiency has been linked to poor vision & cataract formation
5.. RAW PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT: import for lens repair
6.. B VITAMIN: essential for intracellular eye metabolism
7.. FLAXSEED OIL CAPSULES: tissue membrane health
8.. CoQHEART: energize healing
Previous posting:
Cataracts
Cataracts develop when the proteins in the lens of the eye are damaged, causing them to become translucent or opaque.
Having cataract's is a most stubborn condition to deal with. If it has become deep-seated, nothing short of a surgical operation will help in overcoming the trouble. If, however, the cataract is in the early stages, there are good chances of getting over the ailment by natural means. Even advanced cases can be prevented from becoming worse. There is increasing evidence to show that in several cases cataracts have actually been reversed by proper nutritional treatment.
Nutrition is one promising means of preventing or delaying the progression of cataracts. Some specialists believe that the most important cause of many cataracts is poor nutrition.
Adelle Davis, one of America´s best-known nutritionists, has pointed out that animals develop cataracts if deprived of pantothenic acid and amino acid, tryptophane and vitamin B6 needed for tryptophane assimilation. She states that the diet of the cataract patient should be high in B2, B6, as well as whole B vitamins, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, D, E and other nutrients. Beta-carotene, and selenium) may also be a factor in cataracts. These
compounds can squelch free radicals-unstable oxygen molecules-that can damage the
lens. The herb bilberry is rich in flavonoids, which prevent degeneration of the lens and retina. In addition, having diabetes or being overweight increases the risk of cataracts, probably because high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood contribute to the destruction of lens proteins. Other causes of cataract are stress and strain, excessive intake of alcoholic drinks, sugar, salt, smoking, vitamins deficiencies (especially Vitamin C), aging, radiation
and side-effects of drugs prescribed for other diseases. The effect of sunlight exposure on eyes, may increase cataract risk.
The Nurses' Health Study found that lutein+zeaxanthin were associated with a reduced need for cataract surgery. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in the lens. Several recent studies also have examined these two nutrients and their relationship to reducing the risk of developing cataracts.
This combination of supplements usually provides adequate cataract protection; however, the following nutrients may also be helpful: The herb gingko biloba, which improves circulation and has strong antioxidant properties. Alpha-lipoic acid shows promise as a cataract preventive and also boosts the effectiveness of vitamins C and E. Because grape seed extract can have a therapeutic impact on even the smallest blood vessels, it benefits circulation in the eye. Consider adding essential fatty acids as they nourish the eye. GLA & EPA along with Carotenoids are good supplements for dry eye syndrome.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables; they're good sources of antioxidants.
Along with the dietary treatment, the patient should adopt various methods of relaxing and strengthening the eyes. These include moving the eyes gently up and down, from side to side and in a circle, clock-wise and anti-clockwise; rotating the neck in circles and semi-circles and briskly moving the shoulders clock-wise and anti-clockwise.

Cataracts
Cataracts develop when the proteins in the lens of the eye are damaged, causing them to become translucent or opaque.
Having cataract's is a most stubborn condition to deal with. If it has become deep-seated, nothing short of a surgical operation will help in overcoming the trouble. If, however, the cataract is in the early stages, there are good chances of getting over the ailment by natural means. Even advanced cases can be prevented from becoming worse. There is increasing evidence to show that in several cases cataracts have actually been reversed by proper nutritional treatment.
Nutrition is one promising means of preventing or delaying the progression of cataracts. Some specialists believe that the most important cause of many cataracts is poor nutrition.
Adelle Davis, one of America´s best-known nutritionists, has pointed out that animals develop cataracts if deprived of pantothenic acid and amino acid, tryptophane and vitamin B6 needed for tryptophane assimilation. She states that the diet of the cataract patient should be high in B2, B6, as well as whole B vitamins, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, D, E and other nutrients. Beta-carotene, and selenium) may also be a factor in cataracts. These
compounds can squelch free radicals-unstable oxygen molecules-that can damage the
lens. The herb bilberry is rich in flavonoids, which prevent degeneration of the lens and retina. In addition, having diabetes or being overweight increases the risk of cataracts, probably because high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood contribute to the destruction of lens proteins. Other causes of cataract are stress and strain, excessive intake of alcoholic drinks, sugar, salt, smoking, vitamins deficiencies (especially Vitamin C), aging, radiation
and side-effects of drugs prescribed for other diseases. The effect of sunlight exposure on eyes, may increase cataract risk.
The Nurses' Health Study found that lutein+zeaxanthin were associated with a reduced need for cataract surgery. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in the lens. Several recent studies also have examined these two nutrients and their relationship to reducing the risk of developing cataracts.
This combination of supplements usually provides adequate cataract protection; however, the following nutrients may also be helpful: The herb gingko biloba, which improves circulation and has strong antioxidant properties. Alpha-lipoic acid shows promise as a cataract preventive and also boosts the effectiveness of vitamins C and E. Because grape seed extract can have a therapeutic impact on even the smallest blood vessels, it benefits circulation in the eye. Consider adding essential fatty acids as they nourish the eye. GLA & EPA along with Carotenoids are good supplements for dry eye syndrome.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables; they're good sources of antioxidants.
Along with the dietary treatment, the patient should adopt various methods of relaxing and strengthening the eyes. These include moving the eyes gently up and down, from side to side and in a circle, clock-wise and anti-clockwise; rotating the neck in circles and semi-circles and briskly moving the shoulders clock-wise and anti-clockwise.
