SeaAloe Makes A Difference!

2007-08-05T17:23:00.001-05:00

You'll feel better than you ever have, and have more enery than you thought was possible. You have to feel it for yourself. Let us help you get back on the road to recovery from fatigue and sluggishness. This Stuff Works!

I take it every day, day in and day out. I don't miss a day and I take it with me when I travel. If I can do it, you can too!

Immune System Booster - SeaAloe has arrived!

2007-06-17T11:27:00.000-05:00

SeaAloe is now shipping with the new label and product name! Formerly named SeaSilver, this product is 2nd to none as a dietary supplement to support optimal health.

I've been taking SeaSilver for years. My friends and co-workers always ask and wonder why I hardly ever get sick. Well, I tell them the same thing I am telling you...I supplement with SeaAloe (SeaSilver). I've not had a sinus infection in years, and the few times that I ran out of SeaSilver, I got one. Every Time. 'Nuff said! I won't go without it..ever. I take it on trips with me so I don't let my immune system get down. I suffer from Fibromyalgia, an auto-immune disorder, and if I don't take care of myself, it will put me in bed for a week. I can't say that SeaAloe (SeaSilver) cures anything, but it keeps my immune system pumping at full capacity and I just don't get sick. I get plenty of sleep and work hard to get exercise, and all of that helps the cause, but SeaAloe is the main component of my supplementation effort, and it works!

You can purchase SeaAloe on my website in individual bottles (not sold in this quantity by the company, they only sell in sets of 3 or 12) for $39.95 with free shipping. The quantity of the original SeaSilver on the market is dwindling. I have 2 cases left. If you want it, you had better hurry!

Until next time,

Julie

My Nails Look SO Good!

2007-05-20T16:35:00.000-05:00

I've have never been so amazed and pleased with my nails! They are the strongest and healthiest that they have ever been. No peeling, no spliting, just beautiful nails. I work out in my yard alot so I do have to admit that I break them, but that is from tugging on stuff and using my nails for stuff that I shouldn't.

So are you curious as to what makes the difference? (It also makes my hair grow like wildfire...). It's Biosil! I wish that I could shout it from the rooftops so all of you out there with nasty nails could get the product you need to make your nails and hair wonderful again.

I've included the info on it below so you will have more detail. Please try it! You won't be sorry!

Julie

BioSil is a stabilized concentrated Orthosilicic Acid. The body absorbs silicon only in the form of Orthosilicic Acid: a dissolved form of silicon that consists of a single molecule or monomer. Orthosolicic Acid is produced in small amounts in the stomach from dietary silicon. Only biosil contains a highly potent 2% solution of stabilized biologically active stabilized concentrated Orthosilicic Acid. Horsetail algae and polymerized silicic acid have a relatively poor rate of conversion to stabilized concentrated Orthosilicic Acid and thus are not well absorbed. Human studies indicate that while silicon from horsetail absorbs slightly better than the colloidal form BioSil absorbs 2.5 times better than horsetail or colloidal gel. Silicon is an essential mineral required for the strength and elasticity of bones joints connective tissue hair skin nails mucous membranes and arteries. BioSil?s active silicon is an essential partner of calcium for bones glucosamine for joints and antioxidants for healthier arteries and cardiovascular function.

Usage: Take 6 drops per day or as directed by your qualified health consultant. Mix drops in 1/4 cup of fluid preferably juice and drink immediately. BioSil is a 30 ml solution of stabilized concentrated orthosilicic acid choline chloride and glycerine. Each drop contains 1 mg of silicon as stabilized concentrated orthosilicic acid. There are 600 drops in each bottle. Solution composition: 2% elemental silicon (Si) as stabilized concentrated orthosilicic acid [Si(OH)4] in a solution of 47% choline chloride 33% glycerol (vegetable) and 18% distilled water.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose treat cure or prevent any disease.

The Importance of Silicon: Silicon is a trace mineral required for the formation of healthy connective tissue bone skin hair and nails. Silicon is essential for collagen formation healthy arteries and regulates calcium deposition in bones. Absorption is Key - Dietary sources of silicon such as those found in food horsetail and colloidal gel (silica) products are very poorly absorbed because of their insoluble polymerized forms. For absorption to occur dietary silicon must be first converted to Orthosilicic Acid (monomeric silicic acid) the bioavailable form found in BioSil?. Why is BioSil? Different? BioSil? (Si[OH]4) is 20 000 times more soluble than silica (SiO2 - found in horsetail and colloidal gels) and 2.5 times more bioavailable than other forms of silicon! The superiority of silicon from BioSil? has been proven in a peer reviewed scientific study comparing three different forms of silicon. The results of the comparative cross-over double-blind clinical trial demonstrated that the stabilized monomeric form of silicon (stabilized orthosilicic acid ? as found in Biosil) is far superior to colloidal silica and horsetail extract. In fact of the three experimental groups only BioSil? offered a bioavailable source of silicon; the other forms of silicon (horsetail and colloidal gel) were no better than placebo.

My Supplementation for relief of Fibromylgia, IBS, Allergies, Soft Nails & Unhealthy Hair!

2007-04-29T13:08:00.000-05:00

I take a "whole body" approach to this complex supplementation system. Everything works together.

Morning:

2 - Jarrow L-Carnitine: Acetyl-L-Carnitine (acetyl carnitine) is a more bioavailable form of the amino acid L-Carnitine and is involved in many metabolic functions. As an antioxidant acetyl carnitine can protect neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals. Acetyl carnitine is involved in other aspects of neuronal metabolism and its molecular structure resembles the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Also acetyl carnitine supplementation supports energy utilization through fatty acid metabolism in the mitochondria. Acetyl carnitine is the most easily assimilated and the most stable form of carnitine,
SeaAloe Whole Food Liquid Nutrition - 1 capful. This works miracles on my allergies. Everytime I stop using it, I get a sinus infection. I have several friends who have had this same thing happen to them. I never go without it,
Jarrow BioSil 6 drops put in the above SeaAloe and held under tongue for 30 seconds and then swallowed. This is the best product for strong, fast growing nails & hair. You won't believe it!
2 Tsp Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in 6 to 8 oz water. Drink all. This balances my acid/alkaline levels in my body. I eat a higher protein diet because it keeps my blood sugar so level. I am very sensative to it and get the shakes and light headed if I don't eat more protein than carbs. I used to get the afternoon slumps and after using this product, they are gone! This keeps my acid level low. Try it if you have this same condition as it may help.

After some breakfast, (DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST!) which is usually a banana (for much needed Potassium) and a slice of 7 grain, whole wheat toast with peanut butter on it, I take:

3 Jarrow Green Tea Extract 500 mg caps - Flavonoids are antioxidants which prevent cell damage thought to contribute to more than 50 illnesses. Green tea contains the flavonoid EGC, a potent antioxidant,
4 Jarrow Chromium GTF 100 caps - used in conjunction with my weight loss program and works with insulin in assisting cells to take in glucose and release energy,
1 PS for the "Fibro Fog" (It WORKS!) Jarrow PS-100 Phosphatidylserine 100mg caps
2 Jarrow CoQ10 30 mg caps - COEnzyme Q-10 is an important antioxidant found in high concentration in human heart and liver kidney spleen and pancreas tissue. Co-Q10 is part of the cells electron transport system. Co-Q is a powerful antioxidant that can decrease the proliferation of free radicals and lighten the load on the immune system. Co-Q is not found just within the cells organelles but also is naturally present in the cell membranes. Another function of Co-Q is to make sure the cells plasma membrane remain flexible. The fluidity of the membranes is crucial for proper physical performance because membrane fluidity affects membrane receptors carriers and enzymes,
2 Jarrow Biotin 5mg cap: Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin typically found in liver egg yolk cereals legumes and nuts. In the body biotin is found in low concentrations in the brain liver and muscle tissue. Biotin is utilized to synthesize intracellular carboxylase enzymes and is essential for normal skin and hair growth,
2 Jarrow Alpha Lipoic Acid:First of all, what is it and why do I care? Are you kidding? Lipoic Acid is not your ordinary, run of the mill antioxidant. Besides being an excellent anti-inflamatory at the cellular level that helps slow the aging process, it is both water and fat-soluable. This enables it to enter cells easily where it can regenerate vitamins C & E and increase glutathione levels which can further slow the aging of the cells. In addition, the R-lipoic acid in Alpha Lipoic Acid has been shown to improve memory and reduce the gain of body fat common in the aging process. Most importantly though, it can increase glucose uptake in insulin resistant cells. Insulin resistance is a common problem in the overweight population. Much has been written about the aging process and the desire to "beat the clock" by getting into an exercise program and changing to a healthier diet. That and breaking the "sugar habit" and keeping your blood sugar under control is an excellent start, but consider adding an "insurance policy" like Alpha Lipoic Acid for protection and help at the cellular level where the aging process starts!
1 Jarrow Tonalin CLA: CLA has been shown in animal experiments to assist in glucose metabolism body fat reduction and enhancement of lean body mass (muscle) retention,

Nighttime - 1 hour before bedtime:

1 Amytriptyline - for Deep Sleep Promotion
1 Jarrow Mellow Tonin, regulates sleep cycle,
1/2 Benedryl - Allergies

At Bedtime:

3 Res-Q 1250 - How Res-Q 1250 works: In the cardiovascular system, EPA and DHA help reduce the amount of triglycerides in your blood. In effect EPA and DHA help blood fats (lipids) stay suspended in the blood instead of sticking to the inside of the arteries. The potent, highly purified EPA and DHA in Res-Q 1250 work naturally by:
�?� keeping blood platelets silky. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.
�?� reducing inflammation that can worsen narrowed arteries.
Supplementing your diet with Res-Q 1250 is important because it is difficult to obtain enough EPA and DHA from the foods you eat. In many cases, omega-3s are stripped away by food-manufacturing processes that tend to emphasize taste appearance, and texture over nutritional value. Available in capsule and liquid form, Res-Q 1250 contains the most concentrated and consistent formulation of omega-3 marine oil available anywhere. Res-Q 1250 is NOT fish oil. Today, fish is the most accessible dietary source of omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately, popular fish species are often contaminated with PCBs, dioxins and heavy metals, such as mercury. As a result, public health authorities recommend limiting our intake of swordfish, salmon and certain other types of fish to once or twice a week. Res-Q 1250 is superior to other omega-3 supplements in several ways. We extract EPA and DHA from small, pelagic (deepwater) fish �?? herring, sardine and anchovy �?? that live in the Norwegian Sea. We harvest the fish far from coastal waters that might be tainted by runoff and other by-products of civilization. We also avoid larger species that live long enough to accumulate high levels of contaminants,
1 Jarrow Evening Primrose 500 for peri-menopause severe breast tenderness,
1 PS for the "Fibro Fog" (It WORKS!) Jarrow PS-100 Phosphatidylserine 100mg caps
2 Jarrow CoQ10 30 mg caps, a powerful anti-oxidant,
1 Jarrow Zinc Balance 15 mg caps: Recent research has indicated that excess supplementation of Zinc (including 25 mg amounts) on a regular basis negatively affects immunofunction,
1 Jarrow Biotin 5mg cap makes "Nasty Nails" hard and beautiful,
2 Jarrow Alpha Lipoic Acid, one of the best anti-oxidants there is,
1 Jarrow Tonalin CLA, CLA has been shown in animal experiments to assist in glucose metabolism body fat reduction and enhancement of lean body mass (muscle) retention,
2 Valerian Root: Makes you very sleepy, very quickly. I have trouble getting to sleep and getting deep sleep. This makes me sleepy and I take a prescription for Elavil which promotes deep sleep. This is partly what keeps the Fibromyalgia in check. If you have Fibro, get to your Doctor and get something to promote deep sleep. You won't believe the difference it makes!

I'm well aware of the critics who say that I take too many pills or that I surely have "expensive urine", but I know what works! I've experimented and researched, changed combinations (and still do depending on how I feel), and this is what works.

You have to be intimately in tune with your body and what it is telling you. It gives you TONS of signals, but you have to hear them!

Don't wait any longer. Get moving and get healthy!

Evening Primrose for Menopause Symptoms to the Rescue!

2007-04-21T12:06:00.000-05:00

Ok, I admit it. I'm in my late 40's and I have it. Peri menopause is here with a vengeance. I'm on Bio-Idential Hormones which are awesome, but the symptom of the moment is breast tenderness. OMG! Whoda ever thunk? Unbelievable! So, first you start wearing a sports bra to bed and that helps some. Still though, try hugging someone. OUCH! My research turned up Evening Primrose and I'm giving it a shot. So far, so good. It doesn't fully take the pain away but I think it's helping.

The other symptom that I have noted that I already have an issue with is sleep. I take Elavil for Fibromyalgia to promote deep sleep and it is wonderful. But getting to sleep is a whole different issue! Valerian Root makes such a big difference. Also, I take Jarrow Mellow Tonin (Melatonin+B6). I'd give it a whirl and see if it doesn't keep your sleep patterns regular like it does mine.

I also think that the SeaAloe makes a big difference. If you don't take a regular liquid vitamin supplement, you can't fathom how much better you feel! We don't get enough fruits and veggies, and those we do get are grown in depleted soil. We have to prevent damage at the cellular level because our bodies can no longer do it by itself. We just don't need it enough ammunition.

So, give these things a try. It is so worth it! I'm living proof.

Until next time,
Julie

Don't Lose Your Mind! Age-Related Dementia & PS to the Rescue!

2007-03-09T22:05:00.000-06:00

Do you forget where you put your car keys? Can't remember a familiar phone number, a person's name or face?

As early as age 30, everyday memory lapses, decreased alertness and forgetfulness can begin to occur. 75% of Americans actually suffer from a decline in brain function, and as we age, it continues to decline. Many dismiss the small clues as something that happens to everyone as we age, but science has shown that this is a mistake. Cognitive imparement that is usually associated with aging can also have other symptoms like withdrawal, stress-related problems and mood swings. Things that can cause the imparement to become more severe are medication side effects, substance abuse, infections, hormonal changes, depression, metabolic, neurological and circulatory disorders, and others.

Synapses are the contact point on a nerve cell where messages sent via chemicals are transmitted. A nerve cell can have thousands of these contact points that are used to pass these chemical messages to other nerve cells. As we age, these synaptic connections begin to deteriorate along with the nerve cells themselves. This deterioration is especially true if the brain is not used as you age. As these communication points between nerve cells becomes less and less reliable, you may begin to forget or misplace things and find tasks too complicated to tackle.

Ready to just throw in the towel and age into mindlessness then? No Way! We have a friend in a supplement called Phosphatidydylserine, or PS for short. PS is a naturally-occuring phospholipid nutrient that gives your brain the nourishment that it needs and can slow, and even in some cases, reverse the loss of mental capacity.

Our bodies produce PS naturally. It is safe and there are more than 60 human studies and 3,000 scientific reports that confirm that PS helps prevent age-related dementia. Several studies showed patients having instant improvement in memory and reasoning ability. Also, positive effects on language, judgement, fatigue, depression, vision loss, hearing imparement and fatigue were noted. PS can actually restore learning ability, clarity, focus, and memory.

Don't Wait! Taking PS early in life can help the breakdown of the synapses slow down and preserve memory and brain power. Studies show that memory loss is easier to reverse in early stages and easier to prevent. Doctors have seen the reversal of early Alzheimer and depression, winter blues, and even seizures. Improvements in mood and short-term memory are shown almost immediately in patients.

Jarrow PS-100 Phosphatidylserine 100mg 120 caps is available now at Nails-Skin-Hair-Care.com. Don't wait until you can't remember what supplement you were supposed to take to help your memory! Check out the information for yourself and get started on feeding your brain what it needs to make you mentally sharp!

Welcome Sea Aloe (formerly SeaSilver)! Our Newest Addition!

2007-02-16T20:08:00.000-06:00

By George, we've got it! Sea Aloe is now at Nails-Skin-Hair-Care.com! I've been taking it for years when it was known as SeaSilver. All I can say is This Stuff Works! The company, SeaAloe, and I make no claims about it healing or curing anything, but in my experience, it helps keep my allergies under control. Every time I run out (which is never anymore), I get a sinus infection. My friend has had the same thing happen to him. We both independently came to the conclusion and nearly had fits as we starting telling each other about our experiences with it. It was one of those "You're Kidding? Me Too!" moments.

Check out my daily supplement on my website for more details. All I can tell you is that this stuff keeps me healthy! It somehow increases my stamina and boosts my immune system. I never get a flu shot and all of my co-workers get sick 2-3 times during the winter and I just rarely do. Now, I know that it "could all be in my head" or the proverbial "placebo", but when I'm not the only one, and when I keep hearing it over and over, and based on how I feel, there just has to be something in it that makes me feel less congested and keeps my stamina high.

Try it! See if it works for you. If it doesn't and you return it, I'll give you a full refund. Give it a shot!

Feb. 4, 2007 Mineral Makeup for Greasy, Oily Skin

2007-02-04T21:12:00.000-06:00

As the Super Bowl drones on in the background, I somehow starting thinking about my oily skin and how I've been able lately to look a little less greasy. I've started using an oil control gel under my makeup again, and it seems to really help. But, I really think that the newest makeup I'm using makes a difference. I've started using Mineral Powder from Sheer Cover.
I was skeptical about it, but all of the liquids and solid to powder still had too much oil in them. They just sit on my face, cause more oil to be produced, and clog my pores. So, what the heck? I've tried everything else, why not just one more?
So I ordered it and started using it. It doesn't cover like the other base makeups I had used, but it covers enough. The good news is that I don't seem to get as oily during the day. Previously I could easily have used 3 blotter tissues by lunch, but I don't seem to have that anymore. I don't feel like I have to blot at all. I have to admit that by 5:00 pm, I'm ready to wash my face, but it is nothing compared to when I used the liquid base makeup types.
The acne is better too. I do still get breakouts, especially around the hairline and on the chin, but they are less frequent and not as deep. I really think that the mineral powder doesn't soak into my pores as much. I like the look of it too. It's a much more matted finish which is prettier on me. It's faster to apply and less messy, unless you spill it of course. And that's easy to do so be careful!
I don't know that it will work for everyone, but for those of you with oily skin and large pores like me, it's worth a shot. You have to get used to a less heavy coverage, but at the end of the day, it looks very nice and stays longer. I think I'll stay with it for awhile and see how it goes. Many of you have asked me for my skin products, so I thought I would share my latest experiment.

My Supplement Regimen

2007-01-15T13:29:00.000-06:00

I've done many years of research on fibromyalgia, which I have, and allergies which cause sinus infections, which I have, and borderline hypoglycemia (Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body's activities), which I also have. All of these conditions wreak havoc on my immune system. I've tried many products over the years to help boost my immune system. I have found a combination that works for me. I don't know if it works for anyone else and I'm not making any claims that it will cure anything. All I know is that I rarely get sick, I never get the flu, and it works for me. Maybe my exercise program helps keep me healthier and that's why I don't get sick. I don't know. I don't care. I feel better than ever even with the Fibromylgia. Ask anyone who has it. They will tell you how bad it is.

Also, I know what you are thinking. "I can't take that many pills!" I don't have any problem slugging them down several at a time. I know that some people do. You have to do what is best for you.

Morning:

- SeaAloe Liquid - Whole Food Liquid Nutrition - 1 capful. This works miracles on my allergies. Everytime I stop using it, I get a sinus infection. I have several friends who have had this same thing happen to them. I never go without it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! 2007 HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-01-06T18:37:00.000-06:00

Here is the conversation I'm having with myself...

(Julie's Body to Julie) Well, what's it gonna be? Are you going to stop working long enough to get your workouts in? Are you going to loose the 20 pounds you have been swearing to me for the last 5 years that you will take off my frame? Are you going to be consistent in getting proper sleep? Are you going to drink 8 glasses of water a day? Are you going to...

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't need you adding any more pressure than I'm already putting on myself! Good Grief..give it a rest and let me think!
...
...
Yes, I'm planning to get more exercise. Yes, I can drink more water. Yes, I've already started eating less. I've only been to the gym once but I am committed. Yes, I need a plan and I'm working on it. Yes, I will get more deep sleep! That one is not to be compromised. But let's talk about you. Are you going to speed up your metabolism so that you can help me lose this weight? Are you going to stop with the insulin resistance? Talk about tying one hand behind my back!

What? You are blaming me for our insulin resistance? YOU are the one that ate all that sugar for your 40 some years and then went on those stupid diets that put me into starvation mode. YOU are the one that slowed my metabolism by eating those zero calorie diet and causing me to think I'll never have another nutrient. YOU CAN'T STARVE ME! I CAN'T OPERATE THAT WAY! YOU KNOW BETTER!

Ok,ok. Calm down. Geez, I get it. I have to get on track and stay consistent or I put you in a tizzy. Ok, I've started writing down a plan. Just stop beating me up, ok?

Ok. I just want you to know that I love you and you have to love me just as much. We are a team and we have to work together. If you will feed me, and work me out so I can get stronger, I'll build some muscle and burn some calories. I'll do my part if you'll do yours...

Ok............I love you too. It's hard to love myself sometimes. You don't look like those super thin models and everywhere I look I'm told that I'm supposed to look that way. It's so hard to know what to do. You know?

Yes, I know. Don't listen to all that crap out there. Be kind to me, work with me to make us the best we can be with what God gave us. Short and curvy isn't a bad thing. We just have to work hard. I know you can do that...I've seen you...

Ok...........I'll work on it. Thanks for still hanging in there with me. Let's not have any heart attacks or anything ok? I'm listening, I promise. Ok?

Ok.

Thanks?

You're Welcome... ;-)

Silence...precious silence. Now I gotta write a plan. Where'd I put that pen?

Another Christmas (dinner) under (and over) our belts!

2006-12-27T17:01:00.000-06:00

Well, we made it through another Christmas dinner(s). I didn't eat as much as I could have, but I have to admit that I didn't get as much exercise as I needed to. I've had an hour long walk several days but I need to get back to my routine at the gym!

With New Years Eve looming, I see some serious ab work in my near future!

I'm interested to see how you all did. Let me know!

Skin Care during the holidays!

2006-12-10T19:37:00.000-06:00

Ever wonder why people who never have acne have a major breakout during the holidays? Think about it...sweets, chocolate, nerves, family, unusual diet...need I say more? Your body is being stressed from every direction and it is going to fight back with every weapon it's got! And if you are like me, you will end up with an acne breakout! Happens everytime. So, what to do?

- First, wash your face every chance you get. Use anti-bacterial soap whenever possible and if it dries out your skin, use moisturizer,
- Ladies, go light on the makeup if you can. I've started using mineral powder makeup and although it doesn't cover as well, it doesn't seem to clog my pores as much as liquid makeup,
- Get plenty of sleep,
- Go light on the sweets,
- Spend some time each day away from all the family, especially if there is tension,
- Remember that the season is about giving and loving and don't stress over it.

A Healthy Thanksgiving is Possible!

2006-11-20T22:10:00.000-06:00

Pass the mashed potatoes and gravy!!! I absolutely love Thanksgiving dinner! After many years of working hard to keep my weight down, I don't eat near as much as I used to, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to! I make a mean turkey stuffing that has 3 sticks of butter in it...yes, I said 3. It's unbelievable! I try hard not to eat much of it either but I have to confess that it is very painful holding myself back. I've even negotiated with myself that I would have a larger helping of stuffing if I didn't have as much dessert.

Sound familiar? You are not in the boat by yourself! I commit every year to drinking tons of water to flush out all the salt I'm going to injest and to get out right after dinner and walk as far as I can stand it at a good clip. Next week I'll revive my weight workout and will probably not gain much weight.

So what will you do? Do you work on and plan a way to not gain the normal 5 pounds over the holidays? I just heard on the news that the experts think that it's ok to pig out over the holidays and that you won't gain as much weight as you think you will. I have news for them...they are crazy! It goes on really easy and it comes off really hard. End of story.

Here are a few other tips that I try to do:
- use a small plate as you load up. You won't eat as much and you might feel full before you go back for seconds,
- wait 20 minutes before you have seconds,
- eat half of the dessert that you think you want,
- drink tons of water before and after your meal,
- commmit to getting more that the normal amount of exercise while you are off for the holiday,
- wear pants that are snug and DON'T unbutton them,
- keep in mind how long you have to exercise to get one helping of potates and stuffing off your middle. That alone will make you more careful.

And have a very Happy Thanksgiving! And, be sure to think about what you are thankful for and spend a minute being thankful.

Been Thinking About Christmas Gifts?

2006-11-12T20:41:00.000-06:00

Have you ever given supplements as a Christmas gift? It's not your usual gift of choice,but it might be something to really think about. If you have a senior citizen that you buy for, you might try to find out what over the counter supplements they take and give them a batch for Christmas. Some of them are really expensive and would save your loved one some money! I have done this with some supplements that I take. Specifically I give Jarrow Biosil and Jarrow Biotin. I know how well they work and now that my Mother takes them, I make sure I load her up on them as a Christmas gift. She really likes that too! It's a different type of gift that shows that you are interested in their health and well being, but it also shows that you care enough to give them something that they may not buy for themselves if money gets tight. You could always make up a small basket with a few of the supplements that you know they use and put a nice bow on it. What a treat!

So, it's just a thought. I've done it and had happy family members! You might consider it as an option. Be sure to shop early because inventories are already selling out of certain popular items.

Let us know if you have any other unique gift ideas related to healthy living that have been a hit in the past. We are always looking for good suggestions.

Been thinkin' about supplements...

2006-11-05T20:59:00.000-06:00

How many supplements do you take daily? I have to admit that I take a few, many of which I get through my website, Nails-Skin-Hair-Care.com. I've done years of research on supplements that help me with Fibromyalsia and Chronic Fatigue. This auto-immune disorder brings me to my knees if I let myself get run down. I have a list of supplements that I take that include zinc, alpha lipoic acid, omega 3 & 6, just to name a few. These, along with a prescription for a low dose of Amitryptline (Elavil) to promote deep sleep, make life a whole lot easier for me. The other thing I take is a tablespoon of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water every morning. It helps so much with my energy level in the afternoon. But even with faithful treatment from supplements and medication, and in addition to yoga when I can fit it in, I still suffer from the pain and fatigue. I've heard recently that D-Ribose may be a very promising and safe treatment for CFS/Fibromyalgia. I found this newsletter that you might want to check out if you are interested. Vitality 101 D-Ribose, From Fatigued to Fantastic. If you have this condition and you have any remedies to share, many of us out here would appreciate hearing about it.

Still Thinking About Nasty Nails...

2006-10-30T19:13:00.000-06:00

Every time I clip my nails like I had to today, I am wonderfully amazed. Having to clip my nails because they get too long is incredible to me. I have never in my life (and I'm in my late forties) been able to do that. My nails were so weak and ugly that I couldn't clip them...I would bite them, and bite them, and bite them. It was just too easy. Filing them didn't help at all. They just split and peeled which made them thinner. I'd put acrylic nails on but they wouldn't stay on, and that only made my nails even thinner.

I want to hear your stories! If you have found other things that work, I'd like to hear them. Let's get every option out on the table for our friends out there. After years of research, here is my solution...and it works!

I now have rock hard nails. I use and sell Jarrow Biosil and Biotin. For years, I tried everything on the market from topical products to supplements. And nothing worked. Nothing. Until now. Read Nails-Skin-Hair-Care.com on these 2 products. I promise that you will be glad you did. You will also get the benefit of strong, healthy hair. This combination works! Separately they don't work near as well as they do together.

I'd love to hear from you if you have used this combination or if you know of something that works better!

Best Supplement for Thin, Cracked, Ugly Nails

2006-10-24T12:13:00.000-05:00

I use Biotin along with a product called BioSil. It's a silicon product that is easily absorbed by the body. I've had excellent luck with it. Does anyone have a similar experience, or a bad one that they can share? Do you have any other recommendations on products that really work for fingernails?
