A Sensational Gem : Protandim


Chris and I are now distributors of this AMAZING gift!!!! We began taking it after observing its results on a close friend. We then both decided that we must fully make Protandim a part of our lives, thus promoting this remarkable gem and spreading the word, making it readily available to our loved ones by selling the product ourselves. 

Here is detailed info on pretty much all ya need to know, and then some!!

But first, I would like to express, it took 40 years of research for the masterminds/creators of this product to nail its perfection!!! That's a whole lot of time and dedication!!! Wouldn't you say? :)

So, what is this Protandim biz? 
How does Protandim Work?

As we age the body needs more antioxidant to fight free radicals but the rate at which antioxidants are produce decreases, as we get older. Protandim has the power to nourish the cells of the body working from the inside out. Conventional antioxidants can protect the body against free radicals on a one to one ratio. Every capsule of Protandim unleashes a river of antioxidants that can tackle more than ONE free radical at the time. The amount of antioxidants in a tablet of Protandim is so powerful that it will require huge quantities of fruits that are almost impossible to eat a day to see results. To get the antioxidant power in a capsule of Protandim you will need to consume about 87 glasses of red wine. Seriously, this is no joke!!!

The studies revolving the supplement have found, Protandim to:

• Neutralize free radicals
 • Eliminate the age dependent levels of oxidative stress
 • Increases the levels of Glutathione in the body by 300%
 • Helps increase the production of Catalese by 54%
 • Helps increase the production of SOD by 34%

GlutathioneCataleseSOD (superoxide dismutase) are powerful antioxidanst enzymes, important for the development of healthy skin building cells.


So what makes Protandim so gosh darn special? 

Protandim is an indirect Antioxidant. Most direct antioxidant supplement work on the surface level and are used by the body on a 1 to 1 ratio, 1 antioxidant molecule to destroy 1 free radical. However, research has shown us that our body produces millions of free radicals on a daily basis. Most conventional “Direct antioxidant” can’t keep up with the number of free radicals produce by the body everyday. Protandim on the other hand creates a cascade of antioxidants to help protect the body from free radicals 24/7. This little yellow pill works as an internal switch to increase the natural production of powerful antioxidants such as SOD, Catalese and Glutathione.


Studies on Protandim :

 You may be wondering what’s the difference of Protandim and other much cheaper antioxidant supplement? The answer to your questions is simple, Protandim is the only supplement in the market clinically proven to work in the body. Unlike many antioxidant supplements that claim to work but don't have any studies to back up their claims. There has been studies done in over 15 Universities and has been tried on real humans, not only animal studies. Universities around the world continue to initiate and fund their own studies of Protandim and to evaluate how this anti-aging breakthrough can prevent and improve many of the problems associated with aging. Some of the schools Protandim has been studied at include:
  • University of Kentucky
  • Michigan State University (Diabetes)
  • University of Minnesota (Diabetes)
  • Vanderbilt University
  • Louisiana State University (Cancer)
  • University of Colorado
  • Harvard Medical (DMD)
  • Ohio State University
  • Glamorgan University, Wales
  • Sahigrenska University Hospital, Goteborg, Sweden
  • University or Toronto/St. Michelle’s Hospital, Canada
  • University Hospital, Brno, Czech Republic
  • Mexican Institute of Social Security, Mexico City
  • Virginia Commonwealth University (Heart Disease)
  • University of Florida

The studies suggest that Protandim eliminates the level of oxidative stress, increases the level of Glutathione, helps increases the level of Catalese in the body and increases the production of SOD, an important enzyme to produce healthy soft skin. To learn more about protandim you can also find a lot of information at PubMed related to the peer reviews studies that have been publish about the supplement.

What are the magical Ingredients in Protandim?

Protandim is an antioxidant supplement made with 5 natural ingredients that have a strong synergy when use together.

Protandim is not your conventional antioxidant supplement! The blend of phytonutrients increases the production of powerful antioxidant enzymes in the body such as Catalese, SOD and Glutathione. Each ingredient in Protandim was carefully chosen for its ability to increase the production of antioxidant enzymes in the body. The secret to the proprietary blend lays on the ratio of each ingredient.
Lifevantage holds several patents on Protandim, including one for the particular ratio of ingredients in the supplement.

Lets take a closer look at the ingredients in Protandim:

Milk Thistle Extract: This is basically a flowering plant of the daisy family. It is found in the Mediterranean areas of EU, Northern Africa and Mid-Asia. Milk Thistle Extract have been found useful for treating liver problems and to protect and help the to liver process any toxins.

Bacopa Extract:. This herb grows in marshy regions of India, and is popular for its cognitive enhancing effects. The plant functions as antioxidants and its benefits are enhanced when use in the right ration with other Protandim ingredients. Bacoopa Extracts helps protect mental function, enhances memory and overall learning skills.

Ashwagandha: This root herb has been used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries. The root has been found to improve physical and athletic powers, promote a stronger immunity system, and enhance sexual abilities and fertility. Ashwagandha can help eliminate stress, cure inflammation, enhance memory capacity and increase the natural production of antioxidants in the body.

Green Tea Extracts: Green tea originated from China, and it has been in use by several cultures like Japanese, Arabs and Persians. Research has shown that using green tea leaves helps lower heart disease and the risk of cancer due to their high flavonoids content, which are phytochemicals present in plants that possess anti-oxidative and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Turmeric Extract: Turmeric is a vital component popular in ayurvedic and healing medicine. The plant has been known to improve liver health and prevent bad cholesterol. Recent research has found a correlation between Turmeric and size reduction in body tumors. The antioxidant powers of Turmeric Extract are so remarkable, that it actually helps preserve shelf life of any food it's added to. The fascinating antioxidant properties of this herb have attracted the attention of researchers for memory deficits, arthritis, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

All the ingredients in Protandim work synergistically to provide the maximum production of antioxidants. The combination of ingredients and the ratio of each is the real secret behind the amazing benefits of Protandim.

A Message from a Little Friend :)

This is the best I could get written down from a "dream" that I had.

I begin with what I could remember first, there were some things before this, but kind of foggy......


Sitting under a tree, which appeared to be oak. My eyes were closed. I could feel the sun kissing my face. It felt very warm and healing, yet very cool, almost surreal. All of a sudden I heard a voice, "Greetings sister, don't be afraid! I am of the tree people!" I quickly open my eyes! Before me was a tiny being, not unlike a gnome, but extra silly looking. He was kind of blurry too. I tried focusing my gaze, but then he quickly hopped way up high into the tree. "I hear you sometimes calling us elves or refer to us as "little people", things of that nature". (He then chuckles). “We are the great protectors of  the woods and forests of Earth, that is our way." (He pauses). "I needed to speak with you here in this realm so you could truly hear me. You will call it a dream, but it is beyond a dream, this place....." His voice fades out. Then it gets closer, and the next thing I know he is sitting to the left of me on top of a piece of wood. I still can't make out his image very clearly. "I have things to say! There are now many humans that we call "nature workers" who are quietly infiltrating your world in order to shift the balance toward the manifestation of a Paradise on Earth. Did you you know this my friend? I think you are aware. You seem very aware. More so than others I have tried to communicate with." (He clears his throat, smiles and then winks at me). I try to speak in response, but nothing. I have no voice. I thought to myself, what in the world? He smiled. Then began to laugh hysterically!!!! I couldn't help but laugh right along with him!!! 
"It is my turn to speak, I have important stuff to relay to you my dear light!" I grumbled in frustration as he whimsically continued....."You are here to merely listen!" (He patted me on the hand) "SO LISTEN!!!" Then he pops back up into the tree!  "Now now.... where was I??" he muttered.
There was a pause...... 
"Oh yes!" 
"I have witnessed that you are working on understanding you, "nature worker"! This makes me joyous!! This is your story, your journey." He hops down next to me again. He then whispers...
"There is quite a clamor to get into this theater I do say, as there are also forces who are working toward apocalypse, and others who seek world domination. When I say theater, I simply mean Earth. Out of all these, we the light workers, nature workers, and nature spirits, are the force working in the name of the Universal Law, Love. You know about the gift of Love my dear light. My people are happy to see this." He pats me on the hand yet again..... hops back up into the tree and continues.......
"There are angels, masters, elementals, and what you humans call extraterrestrials, all incarnating as human light workers to hold the energy for transformation. And yes, even nature spirits. These are the ones we call nature workers." 
Once again he takes a pause from speaking and is very still. All of a sudden the wind picked up..... I peered up above me, searching for him in the mighty tree. and then.....
Chris wakes me!!!! Noooooo!!!! I was so upset and grumpy with him. I needed to know more!!! lol!!!! I wrote this down once I got outta beddy pie! As I was fumbling about to find a pen half asleep, I swear I heard a little giggle. J I have been hearing little giggles, little footsteps, opening of cabinets sometimes, little banging noises in the night and early morning hours. Hee hee…. 
Also zips of lights outside in my backyard and in the house. I have seen a red one for many many years. And a blue one ever since I moved to Oregon. But now there are more lights zipping about! Glowing brightly, in a little orb-esque type of manner. Lots of white lights, and golden ones as well.



So anyways……

There you have it! A dream??? Perchance! Or was I somewhere else like the lil' peep said???? Hmmmm???  ;)



It felt very real, that is all I can say! And I hope he visits again! I want to hear the rest of what he was expressing to me! Dagnabit!!! lol





Peace, Love, & Light!!!!

Insightful Health Info: Apple Cider Vinegar + Honey

Greetings everyone!!!


Natural remedy of the day: Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey


Info gathered from one of my favorite websites!!!!
Here to enlighten you all! LIVE HEALTHY!!! You'll feel so much better! 


The health benefits of the apple cider vinegar and honey drink are widely known. This recipe has traditionally been used as an at-home self remedy for many ailments, and even as an anti-aging elixir. Many people have recognised and made use of its cleansing and disinfecting properties to self-detoxify their body. It is seen as a powerful cleansing agent and natural healing elixir with naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs and bacteria.

Alkaline-Forming Diet
So, how does this vinegar and honey remedy actually work? A person's bloodstream tends toward becoming acidic with our modern diet of fats, starches and processed foods, (e.g fast foods, meats, peanuts, seafoods, alcohol and coffee)and if your body is acidic, disease can flourish; if it is alkaline, it is in balance and can fight off germs and ailments such as bladder and kidney conditions, osteoporosis, brittle bones, joint pains, aching muscles, low energy and chronic fatigue, and slow digestion.
Raw fruits, leafy green vegetables, legumes, and tea are examples of alkaline forming foods. Interestingly and ironically, a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For instance, lemons and limes are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons and limes are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming. It is important to know that stomach acid or the pH of the stomach is an entirely different matter from the pH of the body's fluids and tissues. The body has an acid-alkaline (or acid-base) ratio called the pH which is a balance between positively charges ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming). When this balance is compromised many problems can occur. The body is forced to borrow minerals—including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acid and safely remove it from the body. And severe damage can be done to the body due to high acidity. Ideally, for most people, the ideal diet is 75 percent alkalizing and 25 percent acidifying foods by volume. Allergic reactions and other forms of stress also tend to produce excessive acids in the body.

The alkaline-forming ability of apple cider vinegar can correct excess acidity in our system and help prevent and fight infection. Honey added to the vinegar naturally makes the mixture more drinkable for people. And the good news is that unprocessed raw honey has been classfified as an alkaline-forming food.

How about honey, is it acidic? Every sweet food has a low pH and that is the nature of sugar. However, researchers have discovered that 45 minutes after eating honey, blood tests showed more alkalinity. Diabetics also have lower blood sugar 45 minutes after eating honey. This is because, unlike processed sugar and artifical sweeteners, honey is very quickly absorbed into the body cells for fuel use, rather than sitting in the blood.

Just so ya know, when you first drink the apple cider vinegar formula, it might taste horrible to you, but as your body becomes less acidic and more alkaline, it would begin to taste good. 
The ailments that could be cured by this apple cider vinegar and honey treatment include:

               1. Premature aging
                2. Obesity
                3. Food poisoning
                4. Heat exhaustion
                5. Heartburn
                6. Brittle nails 
                7. Bad breath
                8. Arthritis
                9. High blood pressure
               10. High cholesterol level 


               11. Eczema
               12. STRENGTHENS IMMUNITY
               13. Chronic Fatigue
               14. Acne
               15. Acid Reflux
               16. Flu virus

Try this healthy and refreshing vinegar and honey drink!
Essentially, to prepare:

* Mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of raw honey. (Apple cider vinegar is actually made from fresh, organic, crushed apples that are allowed to mature naturally in wooden barrels, but you can get it easily from the grocery shops or supermarkets.)

* Dissolve in a glass of water or simply mix together thoroughly and chugga lug! That’s how I do it! J
* Take it twice daily.

Note: For this vinegar and honey remedy, do not get commercial distilled vinegars as they do not contain the same health values of organic, raw apple cider vinegar. The powerful enzymes and minerals like potassium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, sulphur, iron copper, fluorine, silicon, pectin and natural malic and tartaric acids, which are important in fighting body toxins and inhibiting bacteria growth, are all destroyed during the distilling process.

GET RAW APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND HONEY!!!!


*****As a wonderful side effect of drinking apple cider vinegar every day, it has been discovered that it brings a healthy, rosy glow to one's compexion! I can honestly say it's true!


This remedy is amazing stuff! Just after a few days you will totally feel the miraculous results! Then after a week or two, BAM!!! :)

Give it a whirl! Your health and wellness is so very important! You will be sooooo joyous and grateful that you added this daily elixer to your life! Just sayin'! ;)

Peace, Love, & Light!!!!

Your nurse with a purpose,

LOVE

The Divine Creator = Unconditional Love. On the other hand, fear, hate, anger, vengefulness, jealousy, sadness, etc etc are derived purely from human emotions. These emotions in a sense, assist us to learn and to grow from our time/experience here on earth. They play their part. The "emotion" we as human beings carry within that is of our Creator, our blessed mother and father, is LOVE. Not so much an emotion, but rather, a DIVINE gift. That is, when it is TRUE LOVE within our "heart", the vibrations of the sacred zone where LOVE radiates (heart chakra). Now my goodness, careful not to confuse LOVE with an infatuation of another or lust, these too are human emotions that can sneakingly mimic the feelings of LOVE but in actuality are not. For TRUE, PURE LOVE is the DIVINE Kingdom/Queendom within our human shell, the essence of our spirit which thus binds all the Great Spirit's children of light!!! 


The source of unconditional love energy lies at the center of your chest in the Heart Chakra. The energy's color is actually green. The heart itself is red, but the energy is green!!! From its middle position as fourth in a system of seven chakras, it is the balancing integrator of opposites (between body and spirit, male and female, ego and unity, etc) and acts as an energetic “bridge” between the lower and upper chakras. It is symbolized by a lotus of twelve petals and like I said, the color green. Oh, and the gemstone connected to the heart energy is the exquisitely gorgeous emerald. It is from this place of peaceful centeredness that love emanates as DIVINE power!!!! Our connection with God, Goddess, Great Spirit, Creator, Lord Almighty, Yahweh, Mother, Father, Yad-Heh-Vav-Heh, Jehovah, The Divine, etc etc..... (however you refer to our Creator). :)
It is this sacred energy and the spirit within your body that is the Kingdom /Queendom of our blessed Creator! Ignite your heart chakra daily!!!!! Express this healing synergy! 


Love is the most powerful energy in the Universe and is a vital energy to be focusing on every moment of every day, more so now than ever. Holding your hand over your heart with conscious connection, for even just minutes a day, can help you to stay present in your heart, help heal and open it to greater depths. Blessed be!!!!! Peace, LOVE, and light to you all!!!! Shine shine shine!!!!! 



♥♥♥ Spread the sacredness of LOVE!!!!
Xoxoxoxoxo!!!!
