MGM Supplement: Poisons in The House

This weekend as my wife and I were cleaning the house, I was thinking to myself about how thankful I am to have green cleaners in my house. Just take a look at how dangerous the regular old cleaners that you buy on the shelf of your local grocery store are.

According to a 15-year study presented at the Toronto Indoor Air Conference, women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home. The study concluded that this was a direct result of the increased exposure to toxic chemicals, many of which are found in common household products.

More than 9 out of every 10 suspected poison exposures occur at home with household products.



We use Get Clean™ products made by Shaklee at our house. When you use Get Clean™, you're never simply cleaning. While you make your home cleaner, you make your family healthier. You also make the planet healthier for other families as well. And if you think Get Clean works so great you tell others about it, imagine the ripples of change you can generate. And you got it by scouring the sink.

Get Clean™ Starter Kit
One of the nice things about using Get Clean is that once you get rid of all those undesirable cleaners you may have in your home, you won't have to replace them with 27 more. You'd have to spend more than $3,400 to get the same amount of clean.

100% Shaklee Guarantee.
We stand behind each and every one of our products. The ingredients, purity, safety, and performance of all our Nutrition, Healthy Home, and Personal Care products are 100% guaranteed. And of course, Shaklee does not test its products on animals.

MGM Supplement:: Sick Children

Going back or starting school increases exposure to new viruses which challenge immune coping skills. With the development of Shaklee’s new Incredivites, children’s immune enhancing multiple vitamin-mineral supplement,now is the time to prepare for the flu and cold season. Each Incredivites tablet contains 25 mg of lactoferrin. It is also present in healthy white blood cells and secreted by some pancreatic cells. Human colostrum has the highest concentration with human milk coming in a distant second. Cow’s milk has much lower lactoferrin content than human milk. Of course children over 12 (puberty) can benefit fully from taking Nutriferon™ on a daily basis.

Don’t forget to:

• • get adequate sleep
• • eat a nutritious breakfast
• • wash hands 4 or more times per day

One way to minimize the spread through schools and prevent school closures is to have teachers and students wash their hands before meals and after recess. This has proven in states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota to be as or more effective than vaccination alone. Immunity Formula I provides the essential nutrients for a healthy immune system: Vitamin A, C, E, B6, B12, folic acid, copper, selenium, and zinc. 1 to 3 capsules each day can also be taken by children to strengthen the immune system.

At the first sign of a pending viral infection, cold or flu, children,(and adults) can chew, suck or swallow 1 to 3 Defend & Resist every 3 hours until all symptoms cease. Defend and Resist is also called Shaklee DR

Dr. Brouse states that:

“Shaklee’s DR suppresses the cough reflex, soothes the throat, kills viruses in the throat, keeps virus cells from replicating, stimulates killer cells to rid the body of cancer cells, and contains a compound from larch that is only found in breast milk for the immune system.” When Dr. Brouse did testing on his own blood, Shaklee DR increased the mobility of his white blood cells within just a few hours of taking it!

One of the four ingredients in Shaklee DR is LARCH. It is even more powerful than Echinacea and stimulates the proliferation of immune fighter cells. It is specifically recommended by natural pediatricians for the treatment of inner ear infections because it boosts the immune system and inhibits and prevents the growth of bacteria that gets in and plugs up the Eustachian tube.

BE READY …. have a bottle on your shelf, and the minute you feel the symptoms of any bug coming on, hit it hard with Shaklee DR. Take six tablets per day for about 7 days. After 7 days, stop for 3 to 4 days. If your symptoms are not gone, follow with a second round of 7 days.

MGM Supplement: The Prescription for a Healthier Life

Yesterday I had a conversation with a friend about what he was doing to prevent getting sick with all of this influenza going around. He stated that he was supplementing daily with a multi-vitamin and a fish oil caplet. I then asked him if he has noticed a difference since he started? He said, "Nope, but my friend takes this and she looks pretty good, so it must be good...."

This statement just kills me, because if you are taking a product and your not seeing any improvements, why would you think it is making you healthier? The fact is, a whole bunch of those vitamins that you find on the shelf at Wal-mart haven't been tested by their manufactures to see if it is actually doing the things that it claims on the bottle. And the funny thing is, this is legal. The federal government doesn't require these products to be tested before they are put on the shelf. So you may be buying a $8 bottle of fish-oil that could be contaminated with mercury. My point is, that you just don't really know what your getting, no one does, not even the manufacturer.

This is where shaklee is so much different. We back every product up with peer reviewed studies, over 80,000 quality control tests yearly and a money back guarantee.

MGM Supplement: Is the Hype Worth the Cost??

Where do you buy your food supplements? The drug store? Maybe the supermarket? Perhaps the health food store? Or do you look for them online?

Most people reading this article buy their food supplements from Shaklee... and would never use any other! But in tough economic times, almost everyone looks for ways to save money... and that sometimes means cutting corners by finding alternatives that cost less. While economizing is a great idea and a habit worth developing, using a less expensive “alternative” product can be more costly than you think.

While some people may look at the thought posed above and wonder... Vivix? Or Vitalizer? Maybe NutriFeron? Perhaps Cinch? While definitely not the most pricey products on the market, these amazing supplements may seem costly. And it’s tempting to fall into the hype that another company can do it better... and cheaper. But don’t be fooled! While Shaklee supplements are not cheap, the most expensive supplement you’ll ever buy is... the supplement that doesn’t work! That’s never a concern when your supplement is Shaklee!

The high cost of low quality...

Most supplements are synthetically created in a lab with non-plant chemicals and are not as good for us as their makers would have us believe. In fact, the body quite often rejects them because it sees these chemicals as a foreign invaders.

Good supplements (like Shaklee) are more expensive because they are made from real plants... not chemicals. The body accepts them as food.

There’s a high cost for low quality. When it comes to supplements, that cost is... your health!

MGM Supplement: Shoo Flu... Don't Bother Me

They say...the Best Defense is a Good Offense.
Take these Pop Quizzes to learn 3 free things you can do to say "Shoo" to Swine and seasonal flus and colds this fall!

# 1 Pop Quiz - What's a fall-off-the-log easy way to boost your immune system three fold?

SLEEP!
That's right...a good old fashioned Good Night's Rest! Sleep and your immune system are tightly linked. Click here to learn more how 8 hours of sleep can give you a 3X boost to your immune system.

#2 Pop Quiz - What decreases your immune response 50% in just 30 min?

SUGAR!
Sugar damages the cells of the immune system, making you susceptibility to colds and flus. Studies have shown that eating 20 teaspoons of sugar causes a 50% drop in the ability of white blood cells to engulf bacteria in just 30 min...and compromise your immunity up to 5 hours. 20 teaspons? Start with 10 tsp. in a 12 oz. soda, add a cookie, a bite of cake, a nibble of fudge...and you're there.

# 3 Pop Quiz - What's an easy way to reduce stress?

HUGS!
When it comes to swatting your immune system flat, Stress is ENEMY #1. The CDC estimates that 75 to 90% of all doctor visits are stress related. Hugs help reduce stress. And if singing "Shoo Flu Don't Bother Me" makes you laugh, you've just found the best medicine.

Last Quiz Question - What supplements are proven to boost immunity?

Probiotics -- the good bacteria. In a study published in the August journal, Pediatrics, children aged 3 to 5 who took a daily probiotic had fewer fevers, runny noses, and coughing episodes. Further, when kids taking the probiotics did get sick, they recovered faster, required fewer antibiotics, and missed fewer days of child care. The probiotic, Optiflora, guarantees delivery of 500 million good bacteria in every tapioca-sized pearl.

Vitamin C -- proven to increase the body’s immunity by increasing the white blood cells. Our bodies can do a lot of things, but it can’t make or store vitamin C. Vita-C's proprietary sustained release system delivers the vitamin C equivalent of one-and-a-half oranges every hour for five hours.

Nutriferon -- Interferon, the sentry for our immune system. This patented combo of 4 Chinese herbs sends out the signal to our "killer cells" to come to our aid and protect us. Click here for more about the scientist who discovered interferon, developed Nutriferon, and 4 clinical trials. Plus, the latest research conducted at Cornell University verifies Nutriferon's effectiveness against flu virus!

Want an extra Ounce of Prevention? Stock up on the Shoo Flu trio -- Optiflora probiotic, Sustained Release Vita-C, and Nutriferon. Order the Nutriferon 4-Pack and Save 10%

MGM Supplement: An Asprin a Day??

Another popular myth has been busted!

Many doctors advise their patients to take a baby aspirin every day to reduce their risk of heart attack. And this recommendation has been repeated so often in the media and in self-help books and web sites that even more people are taking an aspirin every day without even waiting for their doctor to recommend it.

Is this good advice? Probably not, accordingly to a new study done by Dr.Gerry Fowlkes of the Wolfson Unit for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Edinburgh Scotland. In a study that he presented at the most recent meetingof the European Society for Cardiology in Barcelona Spain he and his colleagues followed 3,000 men at very high risk for developing heart disease for an averageof eight years. Half of the group was randomly assigned to take an aspirin every day and the other half was given aplacebo. At the end of eight years there was no difference in the rate of heart attacks or stroke - or risk of death from any cause - between the two groups. In other words, an aspirin a day did not decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke and had no discernable health benefits in this study. Even worse, there were 34 major bleeds in people taking the aspirin compared to only 20 in people taking theplacebo.And if you looked at internal bleeding that was soserious that it required hospitalization, the risk was almost double for the aspirin users compared to the placebo users. The conclusion of this study was that for otherwise healthy people the risks of taking aspirin outweigh the benefits. The scientists cautioned that for people who have already had a heart attack the benefits of taking anaspirin a day might outweigh the risks.

I would encourage you to investigate natural alternates rather than relying on a drug to reduce your risk of heart disease. For example several recent clinical studies have shown that as little as 500 mg/day of omega-3 fatty acids, whether from fish or from supplements, can reduce the risk of a second heart attack in someone who hasalready had one heart attack by 30-40%.And, of course, the Landmark study showed that people who have used the Shaklee supplements for 20 years or more have 1/3 the incidence of angina, heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure as people do from using other company’s multivitamins or no supplements at all.

MGM Supplement: Are you at Risk for Heart Disease?

Virtually all Americans either have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, are overweight, smoke or exercise too little, the team led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

"Unfortunately, the limited strides that were made toward this goal during the 1970s and 1980s were eroded by the increases in excess weight, diabetes and hypertension during more recent decades," the CDC's Dr. Earl Ford, who led the study, said in a statement.

Ford's team looked at four national studies covering tens of thousands of Americans aged 25 to 74.

Only 10 percent had low risk scores in all five categories, they reported in the journal Circulation.

"Until the early 90s, we were moving in a positive direction, but then it took a turn and we're headed in a negative direction," said Ford.

"When you look at the individual factors, tobacco use is still headed in the right direction and so are cholesterol levels, although that has leveled off. The problem is that blood pressure, BMI (body mass index, a measure of obesity) and diabetes are all headed in the wrong direction."

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States and many other countries.

(Reuters September 14, 2009)

What are the major risk factors you can modify, treat or control by changing your lifestyle or taking medicine?

* Tobacco smoke — Smokers' risk of developing coronary heart disease is 2–4 times that of nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking is a powerful independent risk factor for sudden cardiac death in patients with coronary heart disease; smokers have about twice the risk of nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking also acts with other risk factors to greatly increase the risk for coronary heart disease. People who smoke cigars or pipes seem to have a higher risk of death from coronary heart disease (and possibly stroke) but their risk isn't as great as cigarette smokers'. Exposure to other people's smoke increases the risk of heart disease even for nonsmokers.

* High blood cholesterol — As blood cholesterol rises, so does risk of coronary heart disease. When other risk factors (such as high blood pressure and tobacco smoke) are present, this risk increases even more. A person's cholesterol level is also affected by age, sex, heredity and diet.

* High blood pressure — High blood pressure increases the heart's workload, causing the heart to thicken and become stiffer. It also increases your risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure and congestive heart failure. When high blood pressure exists with obesity, smoking, high blood cholesterol levels or diabetes, the risk of heart attack or stroke increases several times.

* Physical inactivity — An inactive lifestyle is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity helps prevent heart and blood vessel disease. The more vigorous the activity, the greater your benefits. However, even moderate-intensity activities help if done regularly and long term. Physical activity can help control blood cholesterol, diabetes and obesity, as well as help lower blood pressure in some people.

* Obesity and overweight — People who have excess body fat — especially if a lot of it is at the waist — are more likely to develop heart disease and stroke even if they have no other risk factors. Excess weight increases the heart's work. It also raises blood pressure and blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and lowers HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. It can also make diabetes more likely to develop. Many obese and overweight people may have difficulty losing weight. But by losing even as few as 10 pounds, you can lower your heart disease risk.

* Diabetes mellitus — Diabetes seriously increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Even when glucose (blood sugar) levels are under control, diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, but the risks are even greater if blood sugar is not well controlled. About three-quarters of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease. If you have diabetes, it's extremely important to work with your healthcare provider to manage it and control any other risk factors you can.

What other factors contribute to heart disease risk?

* Individual response to stress may be a contributing factor. Some scientists have noted a relationship between coronary heart disease risk and stress in a person's life, their health behaviors and socioeconomic status. These factors may affect established risk factors. For example, people under stress may overeat, start smoking or smoke more than they otherwise would.

* Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure, cause heart failure and lead to stroke. It can contribute to high triglycerides, cancer and other diseases, and produce irregular heartbeats. It contributes to obesity, alcoholism, suicide and accidents.

The risk of heart disease in people who drink moderate amounts of alcohol (an average of one drink for women or two drinks for men per day) is lower than in nondrinkers. One drink is defined as 1-1/2 fluid ounces (fl oz) of 80-proof spirits (such as bourbon, Scotch, vodka, gin, etc.), 1 fl oz of 100-proof spirits, 4 fl oz of wine or 12 fl oz of beer. It's not recommended that nondrinkers start using alcohol or that drinkers increase the amount they drink.

Taking Shaklee supplements is a great way to get your health back on track. Just a basic Vitalizer pack and Shaklee's pattented Vivix, can really improve your health. Shaklee also has one of the best healthy weight loss tools on the market, Cinch. The Cinch plan is a tasty, yet proven way to shed those unwanted pounds while staying healthy.

MGM Supplement: Guard Your Body

Optimal nutrition can significantly reduce the risk of cancer and many of us don’t eat the way we should on a daily basis. That’s why the PROGRAM (below) makes good sense.

SHAKLEE NUTRITION BEST-SELLERS SYSTEM (the following nutrients are in the daily Vitalizer strips & Shaklee’s Soy Protein)

Vita-Lea - Because most of us do not get all the nutrients we need from diet alone. A well balanced multivitamin/multimineral supplement is nutrition insurance for what we don’t get from our diet.

Energizing Soy Protein - It has been shown to lower the risk of breast and prostate cancer - AND - it boosts energy levels and helps prevent osteoporosis.

B-Complex - Adequate intake of B vitamins may decrease the risk of cervical cancer -AND - most of us don’t get all the B vitamins we need from our diet.
Sustained Release Vita-C - Because Vitamin C can help prevent the formation of nitrosamines and dangerous free radicals that can cause cancer AND-many of us do not get enough vitamin C from our diet.

Vita-E Plus - Because both vitamin E and selenium are natural antioxidants which help protect us from some of the cancer causing oxidations that occur in our bodies -AND- most of us don’t get enough of these essential nutrients from our diet.

CarotoMax - CarotoMax contains the essential phytonutrients found in those fresh fruits and vegetable that we are not eating on a regular basis - AND - the phytonutrients in CarotoMax have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and eye disease.

Optiflora – Friendly bacteria reduce the risk of colon cancer, strengthen our immune system, and produce substances that lower serum cholesterol levels- AND - most of us don’t have enough of the "friendly" bacteria in our intestines

EPA - Studies have shown that replacing the fats in the typical American diet with healthier fats such as EPA can reduce cancer risk - AND – most of us don’t get enough cold water fish in our diet.

CorEnergy – Most of us have too much stress in our lives – AND – we need the increased energy that CorEnergy provides.

Are you consuming 3-5 servings of fresh vegetables and 6-11 servings of whole grains each day? YES NO …If not, you may wish to consider the added insurance of Shaklee’s Fiber Plan products and B Complex AND you would benefit from the phytonutrients found in CarotoMax.

Do you eat cold-pressed vegetable oils, raw seeds and nuts, and whole grain products on a daily basis? YES NO …If not, you’re probably not getting the vitamin E you need.

Do you eat one serving of "cold water" fish (mackerel, cod, salmon, sardines, or anchovies) at least every other day? YES NO …If not, then Shaklee’s EPA can provide the essential fatty acids you’re lacking in your diet

MGM Supplement: Vivix Anti Aging Supplement

Exploring longevity is truly the ultimate quest, and researchers are spending billions of dollars to help us feel younger and live longer. In laboratories around the world, researchers are attempting to learn how to slow down the aging clock. According to a 2006 study by University of Chicago economists, American life spans increased by 30years during the 20th century. This improved longevity could be worth more than $1.2 million to each of us. Emerging laboratory research reveals that polyphenols—such as those found in red wine—may be able to influence the cellular aging process in a positive way.

Developed after years of research by Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., Vivix Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic is a break through dietary supplement in the fight against cellular aging. In laboratory studies, Vivix ingredients have been shown to impact the four key mechanisms of cellular aging.* Just one teaspoon a day delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in 100 glasses of red wine, and Vivix ingredients are 10X more powerful than resveratrol in slowing a key mechanism of aging.*

For $330, you could buy 100 glasses of red wine to give you the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in 1 teaspoon of Vivix.

For $5.50, you could swallow 22 capsules of resveratrol and muscadine supplements and still not get all the key ingredients found in 1 teaspoon of Vivix.

1 teaspoon of VivixFor $2.83†, you can get all of the cellular anti-aging benefits from the key ingredients found in1 serving of Vivix‡—AND support joint, heart, brain,cardiovascular, and immune health.*All for about the same price as a fancy cup of coffee.

MGM Supplement: NUTRENTS THAT SUPPORT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

The Center for Disease Control has issued a strong warning to stop over-using antibiotics. This push comes in the form of guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which now believes that the overuse of antibiotics is contributing to an alarming rise in the number of diseases that are impervious to drugs.

So what can we do to keep our immune systems at maximum efficiency? …….5 things.

1. Eat healthy foods ..like fresh vegetables, salads and fresh fruits

2.Avoid the foods that weaken the immune system like sugar, alcohol, chips and snacks

3. Stay active.. play ..run.. exercise… practice yoga

4. Get some sleep .. 8 hours of it .. that’s when your body repairs

5 Take supplements that help the body strengthen and rebuild the cells of the immune system like the following…

Scientifically Advanced Vita-Lea (with and w/out iron)
Provides a comprehensive balance of essential nutrients. Vita-Lea’s bioavailability has been proven through independent clinical research. Contains gentler, better-tolerated forms of zinc and protein-bound trace minerals for easier digestion.

Vita-C, 500 mg. Sustained Release
Antioxidant property protects the body against free radicals. Boosts the immune system, infection fighter, natural antihistamine, increases the resistance to ligament and tendon injury. Vitamin C is depleted by stress such as infections, illness, fatigue, surgery, anxiety, pollution and extremes in temperature. As we age, there is a greater need to regenerate collagen which requires more vitamin C.

Nutriferon
Developed and extensively tested by immunologists in Japan, contains an exclusive, proprietary blend of natural plant extracts from pumpkin seeds, safflower flowers, plantago seeds, and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds, which has been clinically proven to support and stimulate the natural immune response process at the cellular level. Supports and stimulates the immune system, by increasing the activity of macrophages and inducing natural interferon production. Optimizes immune response against environmental irritants and airborne substances (as with allergies and asthma). Completely safe – no adverse reactions to these plant extracts ever recorded.

Premium Garlic Complex
Two-way odor control with a gentle, temperature-controlled drying process and with a pleasant blend of spearmint and rosemary extracts. Historically, has been used for congestion, asthma, sinusitis and allergies, colds, flu and pneumonia, sore throat and bronchitis. Has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and is effective against yeast infections (Candida). Nature’s strongest natural antibiotic.

Optiflora
This advanced colon care system contains Acidophilus and Bifidus, essential friendly bacteria that ideally live in our lower intestines. Research shows, however, that most adult Americans only retain about 15% of these microflora, rendering our bodies (and especially our immune systems) vulnerable to toxic build-up. The Optiflora system also includes the prebiotic FOS and inulin to provide nutrients that selectively feed the good microflora for rapid colonization. It is the only product of its kind to guarantee delivery of live beneficial microflora to the intestines, due to its unique triple encapsulation that protects these essential bacteria from the acidity of the stomach.

Defend & Resist Complex (Echinacea)
Has become the most prominent herb used both in the United States and in Europe. Activates the immune system, promotes production of white blood cells, enhances resistance to infection, viral and bacterial, especially flu and herpes; reduces mucus. Works best when started at the onset of cold or flu symptoms. Can be used effectively for up to 10 days at a time.

Other nutrients to consider:

CarotoMax
Essential for healthy mucosal membranes in the digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts. Reduces susceptibility to infection, allergies, bronchitis, asthma, ear infection and skin disorders. Contains other naturally occurring carotenoids such as alpha carotene and other types of beta-carotene.

FlavoMax
These powerful antioxidants increase the power of the immune system to fight infection, are natural antihistamines, are antiviral and antibacterial because they interfere with the actual mechanism of some of these organisms, lower risk of many cancers including gastric cancer.

Vita-E 400 IU and Vita-E Complex
Anti-oxidant that protects against cell damage. Helps to prevent heart disease, Parkinson’s; protects lungs from air pollution, protects cells from premature aging, helps cystic breast disease, improves circulation, promotes healing. Our immune systems decline with age. Vitamin E enhances immune responsiveness in the elderly. Shaklee’s Vita-E is in a natural d-alpha form and is more biologically active than synthetic vitamin E. Provides the full spectrum of tocopherols found in nature

MGM Supplement: Hypertension

High Blood pressure runs in my family. So I'm very aware that I too, will probably have to fight this battle. About a year ago this started to become very apparent. I went to the doctor for anual check-up. My blood pressure was 130/98. Now I know that this isn't high compared to allot of people on medication, but for me it had never reached this level. The doctor told me that I was prehypertensive. It was really hard for me to grasp what I had done to cause this. I'm a very health consiouse person. I finally came to the conclusion that it is genetic and there just isn't much I can do about it.

April of this year I started taking Shaklee's Vivix, an anti-aging supplement. At first I was a little hesitant, about buying it. I ended up buying it, and WOW!! What a difference!! This stuff tasts great, my energy level is through the roof, and guess what..... My blood pressure has dropped significantly. In a check up this month my blood pressure was 116/65. No kidding.... I couldn't hardly believe it. I was trying to think if I had done anything else different. The only things I had done different from the last time was working in a more stressfull position at work, exercising less, and taking Shaklee Vivix.

Vivix is really great stuff. I encourage everyone who gets that list of things from their doctor to improve their health, add in Vivix.

MGM Supplement:Your only as Young as you Feel

The following is a testimonial:

My Dad was VERY unhealthy in his sixties before Shaklee (MGM Supplement). Then Shaklee came along and my mother made sure he took generous servings daily for years. Dad is 90 years old now and still runs his lumberyard, sees his lady friend daily and is very sharp mentally.

When Vivix came along, my Dad did not think he needed it. I gave him the "talk" about the need for it and gave him the "talk" again several months in a row to convince him he needed it daily. Now he is absolutely convinced and takes it every day without fail. These are his results. By the way, Dad takes no medications at all, his health kit is Shaklee nutrition which he eats daily. His eyesight is better, his skin looks younger (many people think he is in his 60's as he really looks that young), his heart is stronger (he had a some irregularity in his heartbeat at his last checkup, his heart is beating stronger and with a more regular beat now), but the one that Dad is really thrilled about is the lack of pain in his stomach.

He lifted something quite heavy about five years ago and felt something tear. He had blood in his urine so visited the doctor and was checked with several tests and nothing could be found. But since that time he has had an uncomfortable feeling and he cannot lift anything very heavy, sometimes I think my Dad thinks he is 20 again. He was so excited to share with me a couple of weeks ago the pain is gone from whatever the problem was. He can lift again with no pain.

I write this as people seem to feel that past a certain age, improvement is impossible. Not so, Dad has proved that. ~Sondra

MGM Supplement: Childrens Nutrition

Are your children getting all the nutrition that they need? MGM Supplement offers a childrens vitamin that your kids will love.

It's a proven fact that our current food supply, produced with modern farming technologies and chemicals that have depleted the nation's topsoil, delivers far fewer nutrients per pound than even 50 years ago. We may not suffer from rickets or scurvy, but lack of sufficient and consistent nutrients leaves us and our children open to disease and imbalance in our bodies' vital systems.




Lets give our kids all that they deserve...

MGM Supplement--When the Pain Gets to be Unbearable

It happens to everyone.--- You wake up in the morning, and your neck or back is just killing you. I know the feeling, and I have been told that is probably due to stress, lack of sleep, or just a lack of nutrition.

Stress is a constant in whatever lifestyle choice we lead. Some are high stress, some are low. My point is that stress is usually a variable that we just except and deal with. However, sometimes stress does effect our rest. For example, how many of us have had some expected event at work or in our life keep us up the night prior. No matter how hard we try, you just can't stop thinking about it.

Some of us might break down and take addictive over the counter sleep aids, or even just take a immune system diminishing dose of night time cold and flu medicine to take some of the edge off.

Well, I have a natural solution for you. Gentle Sleep Complex is a supplement with a natural blend of herbs that will do the job safely. It contains a complementary blend of herbs - Valerian, chamomile, and passion flower - that promotes calm and restful sleep. For centuries these herbs have been used safely for occasional sleeplessness.

Try some... You deserve safe, restful sleep.

MGM Supplement: Making Changes

I attended a training two weeks ago. It was supposed to be a leadership training that is to sharpen my leadership skills. But, in the class the instructor spoke about stresses of any and all jobs and the choices you have.

For example, lets say that you have a boss or a supervisor that is very forceful, direct, tends not to listen, and you just really don't like working for. Every morning you dread getting out of bed and going to work to put up with the same old thing.

Sound familiar--

Believe it or not, you make that choice to put up with all the grief that your job may give you. There are so many opportunities out there, especially with the Internet. Now, I don't think it is right to just quit your job cold turkey and then try and start your own cash generating business. It does take some planning. Hopefully you can find time after your daily dreadful job to work on your own business. That's what I do...

Check it out, and join me if your interested.

MGM Supplement: Drinking Our Supper

Folks always talk about eating healthier, and focus on what to eat to lose weight. However, we rarely focus on what we drink. A study from North Carolina University found that on average Americans drink almost 450 calories a day. Multiply that by seven days of the week and you'll find that most of us drink about one pound of weight a week. Thirty years ago Americans drank half as many calories.

Now, my fist thought was, "Then I'll just drink diet soda instead." Even though there only about 5 calories in a diet soda, research has shown that drinking anything sweetened tends to give us a preference for sweetened beverages. So at the end of the day we unconsciously intake sweeter drinks and push the healthier beverages out of our diet.

In a small study, men and women who drank about 17 ounces of cold water after a meal temporarily experienced a 30 percent increase in the rate at which their bodies burned calories. The increased calorie burning was attributed to thermogenesis, a process by which the body burns calories for digestion purposes.

Please don't get me wrong, there are some individuals who need to take in a sweetened, high electrolyte beverages depending on how hard they work-out. For example; if you find it hard to concentrate, or feel like your going to be sick after exercising, you will feel better if you drink something sweet. Moderation is the key.

MGM Supplement-- Give yourself the edge

Sometimes while I'm at work I notice that I seem to remember more details than other around me. That is almost funny, because I was never the type of person that could just sit through a class and absorb everything. I used to spend hours studying for finals or a mid-term exam.

For the last six to eight months I have been taking MGM Supplements Memory Optimizer. It really does seem to work. At work I catch the small details that can make a complex task easy. For example, the other day some co-workers and myself had to attend a class on a particular computer program. I had played around a little bit with the program, but really not that much compared to some of my other coworkers. When the class was over and we were back in the office, I was bombarded with questions like "do you remember how to do this" or "how do I get to this screen." It was really then, when I noticed that the memory optimizer must really be doing something.

Understanding Vitamin Deficiency

“Many people will get up before dawn to check the stock market, work until all hours of the night on a project for work or church...But they will not remember, or think it is important enough, to feed their own bodies.

Everyone wants to remain youthful and live for ever. But is a long life really the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if you’re feeling vaguely unhealthy much of the time? And why do so many of us feel lousy when we still think of ourselves as young and vibrant? Two words: vitamin deficiency.

“You can’t get away without a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement,” says Dr. Hanley of the University of Calgary, “The ground is so depleted that not even the bugs can live in whole wheat anymore!” The simple fact of the matter is that our bodies are not getting what they need…and even if we were to suddenly adopt a diet that made us poster children for healthy living, without a multi-vitamin supplement, we will always remain vitamin deficient.

Ten Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer

In 2008, an estimated 1.5 million people in the United States were diagnosed with cancer, including over 700,000 new cases in men and nearly the same number of new cases in women. There were also over 650,000 cancer deaths last year, which ranks cancer second only to heart disease as a leading cause of death

Cancer is caused by changes in genes that control the growth and death of cells. The disease develops when cells continue to grow and divide instead of dying off when they get older as they would normally do. As cancer cells multiply, they can damage nearby tissues and can also spread to other parts of the body and develop into new tumors. While improvements in detection, diagnosis, and treatment have increased the survival rate for many types of cancer, we also encourage doing all you can do to prevent the disease as a core strategy of your prescription for optimal health.

With prevention in mind, here are 10 things we can all do to reduce the risk of developing cancer:

1. Avoid tobacco products and second-hand smoke
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States for both men and women. Ironically, it?s also the most preventable type of cancer. Some 87-percent of lung cancer deaths are attributable to exposure to tobacco smoke including roughly 3,000 deaths each year in non-smokers due to second-hand smoke. Of the 45 million Americans who still smoke in 2007, 30-percent of male and 21-percent of female high school students reported using some form of tobacco in the prior month. If you smoke, take the necessary steps to quit for the health of you and your loved ones.

2. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight
Being overweight increases your chance of developing certain types of cancer, including cancer of the esophagus, colon and rectum, and pancreas. Obesity also increases the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women by roughly 50-percent, and endometrial cancer by about three fold. And carrying too much extra body weight is believed to account for up to 30-percent of kidney cancers in both men and women. Make smart food choices, control portion sizes, and fill up on fruits and vegetables to help manage your healthy weight and reduce your risk of cancer.

3. Get moving
The American Cancer Society recommends regular exercise as a way to prevent cancer. Regular exercise burns calories and can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. Pick something that gets and keeps you moving like walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, team sports, and even dancing. Consider biking or walking to work, or take a walk during your lunch break. Be sure to gradually work up to 30-45 minutes of exercise a day for five or more days per week.

4. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
Fruits and vegetables are naturally rich in dietary antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and a whole family of carotenoids that may help to protect your healthy genes from oxidative damage. Recent research suggests that eating tomatoes may help to protect against developing prostate cancer, while eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts may help to protect against bladder cancer. Fruits and vegetables are also rich in fiber which can speed the transit of food through the digestive system and may reduce the absorption of cancer-causing chemicals. So eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables may be the best way to ensure broad spectrum protection.

5. Fresh is best
Until about 20 years ago, stomach cancer was the most common cancer worldwide, perhaps due to cultural preferences for eating large amounts of salt-preserved foods such as cured meats and pickled vegetables. This finding underscores the point that when it comes to eating most foods, it?s generally best to eat fresh rather than salted, cured, or pickled. In general, the less processed the food, the healthier it will be for you.

6. Limit alcohol intake
Excess alcohol consumption is associated with increased risks of cancers of the oral cavity, throat, voice box, esophagus, liver, breast, and possibly the colon and rectum. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in women, and aside from carrying too much body weight, alcohol intake is the only other established risk factor for this disease. It?s recommended that men who drink alcohol should limit their intake to no more than 2 drinks per day, while women should limit their intake to no more than 1 drink daily.

7. Practice sun safety and check for changes in your skin
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is damaging to your skin. The genetic damage it can cause to skin cells can lead to skin cancer, a disease that is increasingly common, especially among young people. Be aware that the sun?s peak time is between 10 am and 3 pm and that sunlight exposure can be intensified by up to 50-percent when reflected from sand, water, snow, ice, and concrete. When outdoors, cover up exposed areas and wear sun screen with an SPF of 15 or more. Know your skin and be aware of the location, size, and shape of moles and skin spots, and report any changes promptly to your physician.

8. Reduce your exposure to potential carcinogens
There are many substances in the environment with the potential to put you at higher risk for developing cancer. On the job, minimize your exposure to fumes, dust, solvents, and chemicals. Try to reduce your everyday exposure to potentially-toxic environmental chemicals in the home and?

Dust and vacuum regularly to rid your home of toxins attracted to dust
Open windows and use fresh air to freshen and minimize indoor pollution
Filter your drinking water to remove pollutants
Switch to green cleaning products that are safe but still powerful

9. Know your family history and get screened
Some 5-10-percent of cancers are due to a genetic predisposition to cancer. Family history is a risk factor for common types of cancer including breast, ovarian, colon, and prostate cancer. If you have a family history of cancer your physician may recommend genetic testing to see if you have the type of gene that can increase your chance of developing cancer. For individuals with an average risk of cancer, the following cancer screening guidelines are recommended:

Breast cancer: Women should begin yearly mammograms at age 40 and conduct regular breast self exams starting in the 20?s.
Colon and rectal cancer: Men and women should have one or more screening tests including a colonoscopy starting at age 50.
Cervical cancer: All women should begin cervical cancer screening no later than 21 years of age.
Prostate cancer: Men should have the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and digital rectal examination annually beginning at age 50.

10. Choose your dietary supplements wisely
Whether it's vitamin D, folic acid, calcium, the antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and the carotenoids, fiber, or emerging phytochemicals, nutrition surveys have made it clear that your diet is unlikely to be providing all the essential nutrients and other dietary factors you need to be at your healthiest. And dietary supplement studies have yielded compelling evidence that supplements can help to reduce the chance of developing cancer in undernourished individuals.

Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington published a study in Nutrition and Cancer; 1. that evaluated the association between dietary and supplemental zinc and prostate cancer in 35,242 men participating in the VITAL cohort, a study specifically designed to evaluate the impact of dietary supplements on cancer risk. In this study, long-term supplemental zinc intake was in fact associated with reduced risk of clinically relevant advanced disease.

And as reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine; 2. National Cancer Institute researchers found that among postmenopausal women, the greater their total calcium intake from dietary supplements and food up to about 1,300 mg per day, the lower was their risk of developing cancer. For men and women, a diet rich in calcium from supplements and food was associated with a lower risk of developing cancers of the digestive system such as colon cancer. These findings are consistent with randomized clinical trials which have shown that calcium supplementation reduces the recurrence of colon polyps, which are precursors to colon cancer.

Clearly, dietary supplements play a key role in making up the nutrient shortfalls in your diet, and they provide a means of achieving optimal nutrient levels needed to achieve and maintain the best of health.
