Omega 3 from Clary Sage

Admin — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:29:05 +0000

domainматрациSince this blog is about heart health let me share with you about how Clary Sage oil (Salvia Sclarea) has helped me: My husband has been suffering from unstable blood pressure for years. He has been taking blood pressure medications of all kinds. Each one has its own nasty side effects. The doctors have not been able to get a handle on his situation. The thing is that the meds would help bring the blood pressure down but sometimes it would go too low and when it’s low my husband can’t function at all. He actually went through a period of two years where he couldn’t function for more than a couple of hours a day!!!

In February-March of 2009 my husband started to take capsules of Omega 3 from Clary Sage. Within 2 months of beginning to take them his blood pressure completely stabilized and he was able to cut down up to 90% of his prescription medications! He also was able to stop taking Plavix, interestingly enough. Plavix used to help him to function for a few hours at a time but it’s a very expensive drug and it only helped for a few hours. The Clary Sage capsules help him to function for an entire day!!

The next phenomenal thing that the Clary Sage oil did for him was that it brought down his very high homocystein levels (20) to 10.5 within 10 months. This is without any medications. This is, perhaps, the best thing because high homocystein levels are associated with stroke!

What can I tell you? I am totally blown away by these special capsules my husband has been using to improve his health. I also take them and find that I have overall much more energy than I had before. Even on days when I don’t exercise.

What’s in Clary Sage oil?

First of all there is 50% ALA - Alpha Linolenic Acid. This is the type of Omega 3 that is present in breast milk!! The human body does a superb job of converting this ALA to the DHA and EPA that our brains and hearts need to function properly.

Besides the ALA the Clary Sage oil contains another 120 active ingredients, the presence of which suggest that the oil may provide Anti-bacterial, Anti-oxidant Antiseptic, Antiviral, Anti-mutagenic, Anti - inflammation, Antifungal and Astringent qualities.
One of those ingredients is Sclareol; Sclareol is a rare substance which used to be produced from whales and was used in cosmetic products as it promotes smooth skin..
Sclareol has many unique medical properties and its presence in the Clary Sage oil differentiates the oil from any known vegetable oil today.

Other ingredients in the Clary Sage/Salvia Sclarea oil are Omega 9 (the same ingredient that is in olive oil), strong anti oxidants such as CoEnzyme Q10 and Vitamin E, Tannic Acid which has Anti-bacterial, Anti-oxidant Antiseptic, Antiviral, Antimutagenic and Astringent properties, Manool - a Candida (fungus) inhibitor, vegetable sterols (which bring down cholesterol levels) and many more.

These ingredients seem to really enhance the functionality of the Omega 3. Also, the presence of all the anti oxidants in the oil cause this oil to be one of the most stable vegetable oils on the planet!!

This discovery of Omega 3 in the seeds of the Clary Sage plant is quite a breakthrough. I have seen many, many people get relief from many maladies from using this type of Omega 3. Maladies such as Parkinsons, ADHD, Arthritis, blood pressure, Crohn’s and many more sicknesses. It is truly amazing. I have seen people bring down their cholesterol, triglyceride and blood sugar (!) levels. This is wonderful supplement for diabetics (type II) as it enhances the cell membrane’s ability to absorb insulin. I have seen the blood test results of people who saw their HDL elevated in a big way.

Swine Flu and Obesity

Well, it is happening:

Swine flu is beginning to really take hold.

Not just in the United States, but all over the world.

But that’s not the scary part…

… the scary part is the fact that being obese OR overweight has now been directly linked to DYING from the swine flu.

My friend Jon Benson put together a 5-minute video that documents these findings.

This is freee for you to view — and you owe it to yourself to check it out.

I’ve been taking Omega 3 for years. They told me it’s good for my heart and my brain. I give it to my daughter as well as she has low muscle tone since birth and the Omega 3 helps with that. I was also told that it’s an anti depressant andcarrier to noise ratio helps with the development

Cure Heartburn

Admin — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:04:39 +0000

I discovered an amazingly easy cure for heartburn.

Listen, I’ve been suffering from a reflux hernia for as long as I can remember. Oh, that burning sensation. Pure hell. Well, here’s what I discovered. If you hold in your stomach muscles while experiencing the heartburn it makes it stop! That’s it. Just contract your abdominal muscles for about 30 seconds every time you feel heartburn.

Try it. It may work for you. Then you’ll be able to dump the Tums, Prilosec, Zantac and whatever other cures for heartburn you are currently using.

Hoping for Fat Loss vs Expecting It

Admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:22:14 +0000

Here is a great article written by one of my favorite fitness guys, Scott Tousignant. Scott is the author of the program “The Fit Chic” which I have. It’s a terrific all around fitness plan which covers not only fitness but also diet and motivation factors. If you are interested in increasing your fitness levels but need motivation - Scott is the man for you and you may want to check out The Fit Chic

By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC
Creator of Unstoppable Fat Loss
Author of “The Fit Chic” and “The Fit Bastard”
Co-Author of “101 Great Ways To Improve Your Health”

There is a huge difference between hoping to reach your fat loss goals and expecting that you will achieve them. The major difference is that those who expect to be living in their dream body have programmed themselves to succeed and those who are simply hoping are holding doubts about their chances for success. So how can you avoid falling into the ‘hoping’ category?

Eliminate doubt by seeking role models

If you have any doubt in your mind that achieving your fat loss goal is possible, if you think that you’ve got to many obstacles and challenges in your way, if you’ve failed before and are worried that it’s going to happen again… find proof that it won’t!

I guarantee there are many people in this world who have faced greater challenges than you have and still they accomplished their fat loss goals. I guarantee that these people failed many times before achieving their dream bodies, but they refused to give up. I guarantee that they ‘expected’ to succeed.

Map out a plan – Now that you have role models who have achieved fat loss success, apply the blueprint that they’ve laid out for you. Model their behaviors, attitudes, and actions.

When you have a plan, you know what it’s going to take in order to develop your dream body; What workout programs you are going to follow, what foods you are going to eat, how much sleep you should get, how often you write out your goals and visualize your dream body, what you should record in your journal, how to overcome obstacles and challenges, and everything else that is required to achieve fat loss success.

Now that you have your plan all mapped out, you’ve got to know why you want to achieve this goal. It’s time to get fired up and passionate about how your life is going to change once you are living in your dream body.

When you reach your fat loss goal, it’s not just going to be your waist line that’s going to change. Your self-confidence will blow through the roof, you may land your dream job or gain a promotion, you may attract the love of your life, you will have the energy to play with your children, or even try new activities that you never thought of trying when you were overweight. The possibilities are endless.

Now all you have to do is “Just do it!”

Be willing to do whatever it takes

This doesn’t mean that you need to go to the gym for 2 hours 7 days a week. It doesn’t mean that you have to be perfect with your diet plan. Being willing to do whatever it takes means that you have an understanding of what needs to be done in order to achieve your dream body. It could mean that you schedule in rest days, reward meals, days where you do fun activities rather than go to the gym.

It means that when are faced with a challenge or setback, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and drive forward with even greater effort. The journey towards achieving your dream body is not easy. Accepting these challenges and setbacks as being a natural part of the processes and realizing that it is not an opportunity to give up, but an opportunity for growth, will place you among the people who expect fat loss success no matter what.

It’s easy to hope and dream for a lean and desirable body. Most of us do that on a daily basis. But it takes a special kind of person to expect the dream to come true. You now know what it takes to expect success. Take action and apply these strategies and I expect to see you living in your dream body very soon.

Fitness Humor - Letter to My Long Lost Waist, Judy Gruen

Admin — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:21:04 +0000

Here is a piece of humor from my latest favorite author: Judy Gruen from judygruen.com.

You gotta admit - She’s funny!!!!!

Letter to My Long Lost Waist , reprinted with permission.

Dear Waist,

I know it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, and things were strained between us when you finally left for leaner pastures. But I am not too proud to admit that I (and several articles of clothing in my closet) still miss you desperately. Perhaps I should have seen the warning signs earlier, and understood the danger that you would slip away from away from me, one belt loop at a time. But must we be like so many other modern relationships, transient and shallow? Can we not begin again?

Admit it: we used to be a great team. We had so many laughs together! Thanks to you, I smugly cinched belts to a satisfying close, even without having to mortify myself through torturous sit-ups five times a week. At parties, you were an asset more valuable than a raconteur’s storehouse of witty repartee. Do you remember my dazzling turquoise jumpsuit, worn to so many summer parties back in the days of Big Shoulders? Admiring males nearly spilled their beers when I sauntered by in brilliant blue on the way to the buffet table. Back then, I was heedless of those vile four-letter words, such as “carb” and “cake.” Whenever I recall that jumpsuit (every Tuesday at 10 a.m.), wondering if I could ever fit into it again, I fight back tears while the immortal words of Edgar Allen Poe echo darkly: “The sad answer, ‘Never– Nevermore.’”

Without you, I am left quietly waiting for a consultation in the women’s lingerie department, (more…)
