There are numerous exercise regimens and as well as a multitude of exercise equipment that promise amazing physiques however few have the simplicity and effectiveness of the bounce and shake regimen. No equipment necessary and easy to do with limited space and you can start with as little as 5 minutes twice a day. What I love about the bounce and shake routine is that it is gentle on the joints and easy enough for most individuals to get started with.  I love doing the bounce and shake when we travel and I can do it right in my hotel room.

By simply standing with my feet shoulder length apart with my knees bent I simply bounce my legs, torso and my arms back and forth with special care not to lift my feet from the ground. I can be wearing loose comfortable clothes and not necessarily any special clothing like you would normally wear for working out. In effect by employing this simple regimen it is like working on re-bounder without the need of any equipment.

I will also lift my arms while bouncing them back and forth at the same time bouncing my whole body again avoiding lifting my feet from the ground. By keeping your feet firmly planted on the floor you get the full impact of the bouncing. The benefits are numerous. You increase your oxygen uptake, you may experience more mental clarity, more energy and increase in your metabolism. The bounce and shake also assists our  lymphatic system to cleanse and clear out impurities and supporting healthy circulation. We find that adding the bounce and shake to a nutritional cleansing lifestyle assists in getting fabulous results with weight loss if needed and supports optimal health.

I recommend starting with 5 minutes twice a day in the morning and evening. Work up in 5 minute increments to eventually 20 minutes twice a day. You will be amazed at how great you feel and the results you will derive. If you have a current medical condition be sure to check with your health care provider before starting a new exercise regimen. I always recommend easing into any new program which allows your body to become more accustom to your new healthier lifestyle.

Woman stretching

We all know that stretching is an important part of any workout program, but how often do we really follow through and do it. I am currently training for my second marathon and I often fail to do much stretching at the end of my workout. I am also not doing a regular stretching routine on my off training days. As you an tell by my last sentence we typically do not think of stretching as being of equal importance as the rest of our training. This is a huge mistake. I can feel tightness in my muscles, especially in the back of my legs, and I may be setting myself up for a future injury. I’m not sure why we knowingly do things, or in this case don’t do things, that could lead to possible injury and decreased performance. The fact is that if you will just work to increase your flexibility with a good stretching program it will be easier to maintain that level of flexibility in the future.

In a recent trial study (Rancour, J., Holmes, C., & Ciprani D., 2009) they tested 2 groups of subjects. Both subject groups were put on a stretching routine for 4 weeks and both groups significantly improved their hip flexibilty. After 4 weeks however one group did not continue to stretch while the other group did a 2-3 day/week maintenance stretching program.

They found that after another 4 weeks the non stretching group lost much of their flexibility gains.

The 2nd group however that did continue on a reduced 2-3 day/ week stretching routine was able to not only maintain their flexibilty but it actually continued to increase slightly.

The lessons that we can take away from this study is that it confirms our knowledge that regular stretching does lead to increases in flexibility. Even more importantly though is knowing that once you have increased your flexibility with a regular stretching routine you should be able to maintain your gains with a reduced frequency maintenance plan. This is great news since most of us are pressed for time in our daily lives. I personally will be following a good stretching routine for the next month and afterward I’ll follow through by continuing to stretch or participate in yoga 2-3 days/week.

Often people are unclear on what candida is or they may be totally unfamiliar with the term. It is important to understand what candida is and ultimately how to clear it and support your body to stay in balance. Candida is at epidemic levels yet many may not know they even have candida.

We all have yeast organisms within our gut. Yeast is part of the natural world and serves to break down our bodies once we past on. Sounds like a lovely topic however it important to understand how yeast works in our bodies and how it can transmute into a candida condition. Environment is of up most importance in whether a one cell yeast organism will mutate into a candida condition. A harmless yeast cell can under the right conditions turn into a candida parasite.  A rule of thumb is that where there are heavy metals you will find candida proliferating. The truth of the matter you would be hard pressed to find anyone who did not have some level of heavy metals within their bodies if they have a candida infection.

Even in the most pristine parts of the world people’s whose blood is tested will often have over 200 toxic trace chemicals. You will never find Candida without some level of heavy metal poisoning. Specially troublesome is mercury poisoning. The toxins within our blood create an overly acidic environment which is perfect for candida to multiply and proliferate. Also, candida may multiply in response to the presence of heavy metals in attempt to protect the body initially. However if left to progress over time, a harmless yeast turns into a candida infection which can lead to other serious health conditions.

The challenge once the yeast become a multi-celled organism, it then has the ability to drill holes through your gut and release into your blood stream creating havoc where ever the candida spreads which leads to leaky gut syndrone.  Once in your blood stream candida can take up residence anywhere and everywhere within your body. At this stage candida infection becomes systemic.  Serious health conditions can arise when the candida infection spreads to the organs of the body.

It is imperative that you recognize when you may have a candida infection and take the appropriate steps. The symptoms can be many and varied. itching, poor digestion, gas, foggy head, forgetful, memory loss, depression, food allergies, leg cramps, panic attacks, hair falling out, skin conditions, super sensitive to chemicals, sugar cravings, tired much of time, are just a few of the symptoms you can experience when candida is present.

There are key components that need to be addressed to clear a candida infection. You must look to the underlining causes. Stress, poor diet, heavy metals, mold exposure, toxic chemical exposure are some of the common conditions that create an environment for candida to proliferate. Check your pH if you are too acidic your internal environment is perfect for candida take hold.

Also, a long standing candida issue will take longer to address to really clear from your system. A simple rule of thumb to check to see if you may have a candida infection is to do the spit test first thing in the morning. Upon rising have a clear glass of water at your night stand. Spit into the glass of water prior to drinking any water. If white streamers form within the first 5 minutes in the water you have a more severe level of candida infection. The faster those white opaque streamers form in the water the more severe your infection. If it takes 20 minutes or longer the infection is present however not as likely to be as severe.

Of course listen to your body and check to see if you have a number of the common candida symptoms and I do advise you find a great holistic practitioner that can have blood work done to check the severity of your candida.

Your first line of defense is to eat an alkaline and healthy diet. The rule of thumb with an candida diet is stick with leafy green vegetables, lean meat, brown rice and steer clear of simple carbohydrates like bread, pasta, sugar, desserts etc. Eat whole foods and heavy on the green vegetables. Juicing leafy greens is an excellent way to support an alkaline pH balance.

In future articles on turning the tide on Candida, I’ll recommend some excellent products that address candida directly and support a healthy flora in the gut.

Please feel free to leave comments. If you have a candida story or have found a candida regimen that is working for you please leave your experience in the comments box.

Being a Human Being

It is important to pay attention to chronic busyness. Are you afraid that if you stop, smell the roses and just rest a bit that your life may fall apart? I know there have been times in my life that I felt I had to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. Of course this was self imposed. The more I felt I had to do the less my life would work.

Given we are human beings not human doings what if we give being a chance in our lives? I have heard the phrase that to relax is to know God. When we stop and truly relax we become more in touch with ourselves. We start to truly tune in and turn inward. I have proved it over and over in my life that when I take time to mediate each day, I am happier and my life has more grace. I reach my goals with ease often faster and certainly with less stress.

When it comes to our health is comes as no surprise that stress is one of the biggest contributors to disease. When we are stressed our bodies produce a whole host of chemicals that can damage our immune response and our ability to heal and stay healthy. Sometimes it is the seemingly small things that we do on a daily basis that can have the greatest impact on our well being.

A great piece of advice I read recently that whenever we experience stress in our lives to simply stop for a moment and take three deep breaths. Immediately we are transported to the present moment. Being aware of our bodies and breathing slowly and deeply allow us to take our attention off the pass and the future. We get more oxygen into our blood streams and we feel better. Something as simple as our breath can have a profound impact on our lives.

Meditation can be intimidating for some people and often we feel we need to know some advance techniques to be successful at meditation. Again it is about taking it easy and being in the moment. Just following your breath during a 15 minute meditation is all it takes to change your whole outlook on life. Listening to soothing music can be extremely helpful as well. There are numerous audio CD’s for meditation find one that resonates with you.

I have a favorite CD called “The Silent Language of Peace” and you can order on A Space Of Love website. This is one of the most powerful audio meditation CD’s I have ever used. Use it once or twice a day and watch your life transform.

Again, spend time being each day. Just like any new habit you’ll have to practice for it to become a natural part of your day. 30 days to a more blissful self. Let’s all take 15 minutes twice a day to be and watch and experience the far reaching effects of the joy of being.

Feel free to click one of the social networking links below and share this article.

A homeopathic practitioner friend of mine just shared a series of videos on youtube where Gary Null delivers a Death Blow to Vaccines at NYS Assembly Hearing. He is thoughtful, complete and gives a comprehensive picture of the vaccine crisis our nation is facing. He is emotional at times yet rational and fair. I get how much he cares about the public’s well being. My take away from his presentation to the NYS Assembly is as a nation we have put the public’s health in the hands of individuals involved in the Vaccine industry whose motives are questionable, science is faulty and who as a collective have over 100,000 lawsuits made against them.

The two most important questions that Gary Null asks at the beginning of his expose of vaccines are,  Are vaccines safe and what  is the proof?  Do vaccines work and what is the proof? It need not be any more complicated than that. However through half truths, omissions and poor and sometimes fraudulent science the public is being put at grave risk by feeling compelled to vaccinate each and every flu season.

What makes this an even a more devastating story is that those most at risk to being vulnerable to the toxins in vaccines are on the front lines to be the first to receive these highly questionable vaccines are pregnant women and children. Of course lets not leave out our military folk who put their lives on the line to protect our way of life are also first in line for questionable vaccines.

I remember the last time I went in for a series of vaccines prior to going out of the country and looking back on that experience is when I went through a slow but steady decline in my health for a period of years. I am fortunate that I take responsibility for my health and well being and incorporating a cleansing and nutritional regimen has allowed me lead a much higher quality of life.

Education is empowerment and allows us to make more discerning decisions in regards to our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Gray Null does such a fine job of outlining the many facets of the vaccine crisis so that rather than just repeat in this post what Gary so eloquently states in the series of videos, watch the video for yourself and determine for yourself your course of action.

Together we can make a difference.

ogether we all can make a difference.

The Life Enhancing Benefits of Water

The simple act of drinking enough of a quality source of filtered water will greatly support optimal health. Water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human body, and without it, humans would die in a few days. The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in our body’s water supply can trigger signs of dehydration: fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on smaller print, such as a computer screen. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue. An estimated seventy-five percent of Americans have mild, chronic dehydration. Pretty scary statistic for a developed country, where water is readily available through the tap or bottle.

Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs. So it only makes sense that drinking adequate water supports optimal health.

How much water do we need? A good estimate is half your body weight. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink. If you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day.

An easy way to track that you are drinking the proper amount of water each day is to start with a container that holds two liters of water as a base line. Remember your total weight, exercise levels and climate all play factors. Keep water handy by having a container of water with you at all times, in the car when you travel, at work and of course at home. I find just keeping a glass of water with me in my home office and of course a full glass of water on my bed stand prior to retiring. Living in Arizona requires drinking more water due to our dry climate.

Some of the important functions that water serves in our bodies are:

Water serves as a lubricant

Water forms the base for saliva

Water forms the fluids that surround the joints.

Water regulates the body temperature, as the cooling and heating is distributed through perspiration.

Water helps to alleviate constipation by moving food through the intestinal tract and thereby eliminating waste- the best detox agent.

Regulates metabolism

Endocrine-gland function improves

Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water is lost

More fat is use as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat

Natural thirst returns

There is a loss of hunger almost overnight

Weight Management

In addition to the daily maintenance of our bodies, water also plays a key role in the prevention of disease. Drinking eight glasses of water daily can decrease the risk of colon cancer by 45%, bladder cancer by 50% and it can potentially even reduce the risk of breast cancer. And those are just a few examples! Think of water as part of your body’s immune system. Sufficient water allows you to cleanse out the toxins.

Proper water intake can even contribute to permanent weight loss. Water also suppresses the appetite and helps the body to metabolize stored fat. Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention. Water also helps you maintain proper muscle tone and proper hydration also contributes to beautiful skin.

So here’s drinking to our health and it’s life enhancing benefits.

Not Your Grandmother's Cleanse

Invariably when I bring up Nutritional Cleansing most people will assume an arduous process that limits your lifestyle and potentially has you in the bathroom all day. The good news this is not the case. So I bring this up early in the conversation to calm people’s fears. I have done numerous types of cleanses over the years given my health history and my desire to be proactive with my health. I always received a tremendous benefit however I knew that most the programs could not be sustained over any period of time.

Thank God, that I discovered Nutritional Cleansing over seven years ago. No more feeling tethered to the bathroom and cleansing symptoms were mild or not all all. Our bodies are designed to naturally cleanse and detox themselves and under normal circumstances with just periodic support through the seasons of year that would suffice. However, now more than ever we need to be gently supporting cleansing on a daily basis.

Several years ago the Red Cross did a study showing over 297 trace chemicals found in the umbilical cord blood of new born babies across the United States and 180 of these may cause cancer. Now given this was a small study but other smaller studies are confirming that mothers are passing on the toxic exposure of just living in our modern day society. It only makes sense to be pro-active with your health by supporting the cleansing process in the body.

What truly makes Nutritional Cleansing stand out as a way to truly transform people’s health is that it works and it can be sustained throughout a person’s life while greatly increasing the quality of life. When my husband and I first experienced nutritional cleansing 7 years ago we were amazed at how easy it was to incorporate into our hectic lives. Also, I loved that the focus was both on Nutrition as well as Cleansing. I never felt deprived. We both released over 20 pounds though weight loss was not our biggest goal, our biggest goal was energy, optimal health better quality of life.

My husband Larry truly looked 10 years younger to me in a matter of a week. I have never seen anything like it. Our skin, hair, vitality improved dramatically. We simply replaced one or two meals with an amazing nutrient rich shake which just happens to taste great and drink a wonderful cleansing drink prior to retiring at night. I am 55 today and often people think I’m in my 30′s. Truly our lives have been transformed.

The whole program is so well conceived from the 72 organic ionic plant based trace minerals both in the cleanse drink and the shake. The shakes alone have 100 nutrients and are a balance of healthy fats, protein, and carbohydrates. Using a grade 7 pharmaceutical grade whey protein form New Zealand which is highest quality rating in the world. Quality high grade whey protein supports a healthy immune system as well as supporting healthy lean muscle.

The cleanse drink uses the highest quality inner heart fillet of the aloe plant and an array of calming herbs for proper digestion including the 72 plant based ionic trace minerals. The program supports a healthy alkaline balance allowing our bodies to be the miracle and to achieve and maintain optimal health.

The other one to two meals are healthy whole food meals. What I love about the program is the flexibility and can be tailored to your health and weight loss goals. Most people start on the deeper cleanse regimen and once achieving their goals simply then move into a maintenance program. Of course periodically doing a deeper cleanse has many long term health benefits.

What I was looking for in a nutritional cleansing program was a program I could sustain long term, not interfere with my busy lifestyle and be comprehensive nutritionally. Lastly, it needed to be extremely cost effective. Larry and I laughed that the first year we incorporated the Nutritional Cleansing Program to our lives we saved at a minimum of $8000.00 annually. This was done by cutting out a lot of empty calorie foods which we no longer crave since we are so well nourished, we cut down dramatically on our Starbucks habit and we feel fantastic.

Thanks to Nutritional Cleansing we feel and look fantastic and we are saving a significant amount of money. Just as importantly we are no longer have to worry about giving up our lifestyle to enjoy fabulous quality of life.

Plant Based Trace Minerals

Much of the public is becoming aware of the importance of minerals in our diet however you would be amazed that there is still a segment of the market place that thinks of nutrition as only vitamins. Let’s get clear that without minerals in their proper form for human consumption outside of oxygen, we would die immediately. In other words if all the minerals were zapped out of your body by aliens you would die instantly. Yes, we need oxygen, water and nourishment but it is the lack of oxygen and minerals that would lead to our immediate demise. Minerals are the spark plug of life.

Now the next area of confusion comes around to the type of minerals we need. Think of this way if we could absorb our minerals from rocks we would be eating rocks. It only stands to reason that we need to get our 72 trace minerals from plants. There is often conflicting information about ionic versus colloidal minerals. The truth of the matter all minerals are ionic because all minerals have an electrical charge of positive or negative. Given the human physiology we need our minerals to have a negative charge to be highly absorbable. The good news is plant based colloidal ionic minerals are highly absorbable by humans and animals because plant based ionic minerals have a negative charge. This is why you want to look for organic versus inorganic minerals.

It is also very important that you receive a complete complement of 72 organic trace minerals for proper metabolism. You need to purchase products that have a complete array of nutrients in the appropriate proportions.

You may be asking why can’t I get all the minerals I need from the food I eat. If you went back a hundred years or more that would have been true but because of modern farming practices of over farming our soils and the use of pesticides which destroy our soils natural flora of friendly organisms which leave our soils close to dead. When you destroy the natural flora of the soil by eliminating the friendly organisms, you inhibit the soils ability to break down the minerals in the clay and dirt.  Most farmers only replace 3-7 minerals in their soils, which can produce a beautiful plant however be devoid of the 72 trace minerals that we need for optimal health.

There was an Senate Document 264 issued in June 1936 outlining the demise of the health of our soils. You can only imagine what our soils are like today.

It is no surprise that we are seeing a dramatic increase in auto-immune issues and chronic illnesses. Poor nutrition creates an environment for opportunistic viruses and bacteria to take hold of any living organism.

Another benefit of supplementation of 72 plant based ionic minerals is the ability for these minerals to naturally remove out heavy metals out of the fat cells. Mineral supplements  using  fulvic acid increase the absorption levels of the plant based minerals. Again, you are looking for products that are well formulated. The product must deliver the proper levels of vitamins, major minerals, trace minerals, fatty acids, in other words a full spectrum program. We need 100 nutrients to constitute a viable supplement for optimal health.

I hope you understanding that you need to supplement in today’s world because of the crisis with the lack of health of our soils. If the minerals are not in the dirt and the dirt doesn’t  have the ability to break down the minerals in a form that the plants can absorb then you must know the proper array of trace minerals are not in our food. If the minerals are not  in the dirt they can’t be in our food. Please explore our blog and be sure to sign up for our blog updates. You owe it to yourself to educate yourself. We are truly responsible for our health and well being.

Plant Based Trace Minerals

Forgive Your Way to Optimal Health

Another benefit of forgiveness is that you can start right now and there is no class, or product to purchase. I’m not saying there is not a place for supplementation, and all the rest however without the daily practice of forgiveness we will find ourselves not truly feeling fulfilled and free to be our best selves. Often it has been said, that we forgive not so much for the person whom we feel has done us an injustice, we forgive for ourselves. There is tremendous freedom in taking full responsibility for your life. You are no longer waiting for someone else to change or some circumstance to right itself, only in this state do we truly experience peace and freedom .

The truth of the matter is that there is nothing to forgive because our true state is one of perfection however the act of forgiveness clears away the energy of shame and blame, re-awakening us to our true natures.

A simple prayer of Ho’oponopono can be adapted to your daily life with immediate results. Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian system of healing. Think of this prayer as a spiritual and mental cleansing mechanism. One of the precepts I love about this amazing healing system is that is only requires your desire and willingness to practice the prayer on a daily basis. The benefits are so far reaching that within days and weeks you will be greatly encouraged to continue your practice.

This system of prayer was perfected by Kahuna Lapa’au Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona who passed this extraordinary system of prayer and healing to Dr. Hew Len a clinical physiologist by education and through the practice of ho’oponopono has become a living master. Practicing this powerful form of prayer you must assume 100% responsibility for everything you experience in your life.

How else would Dr. Hew Lin 30 years ago heal a ward of mentally ill criminals at the Hawaiian Sate Hospital. Not so much by healing them directly but by taking full responsibility for their actions by viewing their medical records and practicing the Ho’oponopono prayer until there was a complete healing. The full story is outlined in Joe Vitale, “Zero Limits the Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace and More.”

Another great teacher who studied with Dr. Hew Lin is Mabel Katz who is currently teaching Ho’oponopono. She has an array of tools under the name “The Easiest Way”. I highly recommend these tools which provide reinforcement for establishing the prayer process as a daily habit.

The prayer simply goes like this, “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you and I love you.”

Another powerful group of teachings is the “Course in Miracles” whose teaching are totally centered around forgiveness, to heal and lift the veil of forgetfulness to our true natures. I will do a posts in the future on the “Course in Miracles” including some great resource materials.

For now start practicing the prayer process of Ho’oponopono and I strongly encourage you to get Joe Vitale’s book “Zero Limits” to support you in your journey.

May peace and health be with you always through practicing forgiveness.

Flu Protection Naturally

There is so much controversy around pandemics, swine flu including the normal varieties of flues that one can easily get overwhelmed by the deluge of information. Of course we are getting arguments both pro and con on flu vaccinations. There is tremendous controversy around vaccinations and for good reason. When it comes to the phrase physician do no harm, we have to ask are vaccinations causing more harm than good? I will leave the whole vaccine drama for another post however here I want to give you immediate and helpful information that you can use right now to protect yourself from any infectious disease including the flu.

When I think of the wasted time, money and resources that our medical system devotes to trying to protect us from a particular disease, it is no wonder our sick care system of medical care is broken. When the cornucopia of natural remedies abounds in nature, we owe it to ourselves to utilize these natural wonders.

I have had a history of autoimmune issues stemming from mercury and other environmental contaminants and as get older I have had to deal with what I call the inflammation factor. Inflammation is common health issue in our modern day society and it at epidemic levels. As we age we also become more prone to inflammation in all its various forms. When our bodies are too acidic, due to toxins, processed foods, and stress our bodies immune systems can become hyper active.

The good news is the same remedies that can support a healthy immune system can also protect you from infectious diseases like the flu. I just read a fabulous article by Dr. Blaylock which you can access through NaturalNews.com. The article title is “Urgent: What to Do If You Cannot Avoid Flu Shots or are Exposed to Virus Shedding” This is excellent article and I want to make a major point here. The natural nutrients I will be covering in Faith’s Tips post are nutrients you want to be consuming as a way of life.

Immune System Regulation is critical in this day and age. We have too many stressors in our environment not to be proactive in supporting a healthy immune system. We often hear talk of strengthening our immune system however our focus needs to be to regulate our immune systems. I know this first hand so I truly speak from experience.

First on my list is supplementing with Vitamin D3. This is huge. We are discovering most of us are sun deprived and this deprivation is leading to all types of health issues. There has been a lot of incorrect information on hazards of sun exposure and suffice to say for this post we need a lot more Vitamin D3 in our diets. The beauty of Vitamin D3 is you can take larger doses of it with no negative side effects. For normal levels an adult requires 5000IU’s per day.

Be sure to get 15 minutes per day of sun exposure without your sunglasses. Don’t shower immediately after your sun exposure.

I just started supplementing with this amazing nutrient and I am already experiencing fabulous results. My inflammation is improving and I’m experiencing much less discomfort. The other major benefit is vitamin D3 supplementation supports healthy bones. I am overjoyed to experience all the side benefits of getting this essential nutrient in my diet.

Be sure to supplement with a good calcium supplement which will also help your the efficiency of your Vitamin D3 supplementation.

Omega 3 oil. I recommend using a Omega 3,6,9 supplement. Omega oils are immune suppressant. Used at the daily recommended levels is perfectly safe and has numerous side benefits for brain and nervous system function. Again, the key here is to add this nutrient into your arsenal to support your immune system.

Take a good vitamin supplement containing selenium and zinc. Selenium is an excellent anti-viral as well as anti-inflammatory. I recommend you use a natural source. Interesting note is that the Japanese on average daily intake of selenium is 500 mcgs and they have a lower cancer rate than the United States. Again, natural sources are always best.

Incorporate drinking White Tea and the whiter the better. For optimal results drink 4 cups of white per day to support a healthy immune system.

Vitamin E, high in gamma-E in its natural form is excellent for cytokine inflammation. Another amazing nutrient is astaxanthin for reducing inflammation. You may be noticing a common theme of these nutrients, to reduce inflammation and immune system regulation. There are numerous and compehensive benefits and related to the nutrient astaxanthin. You can only benefit by supplementing with astaxanthin.

Here’s what so cool about this nutritional regimen. You get to protect yourself from infectious diseases including the Flu while balancing your immune system and creating a higher quality of life. Being proactive gives you the edge and now that you know you can pass this invaluable information to your family and loved ones.
