As you probably know by now, one of the goals of the Life Enthusiast Co-Op is to help you detoxify your body. Many people just have no idea of the level of toxins that they carry around with them at all times.
An efficient way to detoxify the body that our company specializes in is Brine therapy. Brine is a solution of salt. Salt is a very much discussed and maligned topic that the main stream medicine has made into a scapegoat by saying too much sodium is going to raise your blood pressure and don’t eat a lot of salt.
They are right about refined salt, which is what we find in grocery stores. It is bad for you in the same way as refined sugar is bad for you. Natural salt, on the other hand, is rich in other minerals besides sodium chloride and it also is different in a structural way.
Life Enthusiast Co-op offers Himalayan Crystal Salt, which we think is probably the best salt available on the planet. That salt has crystallized 250 million years ago from the ancient ocean that the trilobites were swimming in. It is very pristine. It is like the amniotic fluid of life. The primordial ocean was the womb of the planet from which all life sprang forward. When you cleanse your body with this salt, you can return to that special place in body, mind and spirit where life originated.

One of the so-called epidemics affecting today’s population is the problem of obesity, and not just obesity but the fact of the matter is that a lot of cases of obesity lead to diabetes, especially in our youth. Every year obesity and weight gain continue to grow in our country, the numbers are staggering at around 127 million Americans. This would be enough but statistics tell us that around 300,000 people die from obesity every year.
The problem of obesity is really quite easily solved. It really comes down to taking responsibility and responding to the situation we are in. Proper nutrients are essential as is an adequate amount of exercise. The problem is that due over farming many of the foods we come into contact with on a regular basis just don’t have the nutrients they should. Because of this, the only thing these foods do is get stored in our body as fat cells.
There are some really good products on the market now which are designed to hydrolyze fats, allowing the body to eliminate them as waste. One really great product which my good friend Patrick Buehl told me about is Lipalone. This product can be taken with the meal and ensure that any fats consumed will in fact be converted into EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) where they can be either stored in your muscles, converted to energy or expelled as waste.

We have all had experiences of people coming up to us and saying, “Man, you look great”. I visited one of my best friends once in Houston, Texas and we hadn’t seen each other for about three or four years. He and his wife both said “Wow, like you just look awesome”. I didn’t know what to say. We tend to just shrug these things off as people.
I truly believe that this is because of my dedication to eating foods that really are good for me, that are organic, and that are going to keep the cells in my body from aging. Instead, the foods I eat (and the products I use from the Life Enthusiast Co-op) allow me to tap into the true potential of my body, mind and spirit.

Recently I was talking to a colleague of mine and we were discussing the diet of the average person. It’s interesting to look at the statistics from the US Department of Agricultural and see what most people eat. Usually high on the list is cow’s milk, followed by processed and white bread. Soda pop is never more than a few items lower on the list. It can be frightening.
This brings me a mind a story once told to me about how processed cheese was invented during the World Wars. Basically, the story goes that a general needed food that they could give to their soldiers that wouldn’t go bad in a couple days, since there is no refrigeration on the battlefield. So this cheese maker invented processed cheese and brought it to the general claiming it would not go bad over a period of several days. The general, of course, didn’t believe him and put the cheese on a radiator for two or three days and was astonished to find the cheese didn’t go bad.
This leads one to speculate about just what the cheese maker did to the cheese, and whether something that doesn’t bad like that will be able to provide you with any source of nutrients.

In the health world, we spend a lot of time talking detoxifying, inflammation, malnutrition, metabolism and inflammation among over things. One aspect of this that I think gets left out a lot of the time though is our hormones, which affect all the aspects previously mentioned.
Hormones are really like the next layer of your health. They are directly related to your state of mind and well-being. A lack of nutrition or excess of toxicity will prevent your body from being able to create the hormones it needs to function correctly.
Our bodies consist many glands in the endocrine system which create our hormones. The glands include the thyroid, the adrenals, the pineal gland and the pituitary gland. The thyroid is the gland that controls our metabolism and sexual glands. The adrenals are involved in the cycles of human existence and the stress that goes along with that. Adrenals produce a hormone called cortisol as well as epinephrine and norepinphrine. The latter two deal with our fight or flight responses while the former deals with the osmotic balance in our blood stream.
The point I’m trying to make is that these hormones are intrinsically linked with how our body does or does not function and to ignore them is at the risk of our own health.

One other product I want to mention in connection with all this summer talk related to sunburns is the Life Enthusiast Co-op`s Miracle II Neutralizing Gel. This gel is an alkalizing substance which will actually fight the inflammation of the skin cells which is a sunburn.
I like to give the analogy of a car with a flat tire. The tire is your skin cells. With the Miracle II Neutralizing Gel you are refilling your tire with air at all times, even while you are driving. So you are able to continue on your way even though there is a hole in your tire.
That is what the Miracle II Gel does. It helps to ensure your cells are always hydrated. It also removes any trace of irritation and inflammation which causes the pain that goes along with your average sunburn.

As I was talking about in my previous post, I find it out how humans have been in the sun for thousands of years and yet it only now that we seem to be having a lot of concern around skin cancer and things like that. The sun doesn’t seem to burn the trees or the cats and dogs. The rest of nature seems to get along just fine, so why can’t we?
I have always been of the opinion that in matters of health, prevention is always better than a cure. Protecting yourself beforehand is always going to be better than dealing with an existing problem. It’s just that simple.
A sunburn is a cellular event that occurs through an acidic reaction in your skin. The UV radiation in the sun damages the subcutaneous layer of skin cells. If the cells stay hydrated, there is no problem. If they get rehydrated, the problem goes away.
One of the Life Enthusiast Co-Op’s best hydrating products is the Twilight America Water. I challenge you to take this amazing product with you the next time you go to the beach because if you spray that when you are sitting in the sun you will turn brown without ever turning red.

Summer time is approaching, and for many people this means breaking out the sun block. I was just speaking to a friend who told their 18 year old son just got back from the beach bright red like a lobster, despite having taken sun tan lotion. I find it odd that humans have been in the sun for thousands of years, yet it is only now that we are having trouble.
Part of this definitely has to do with the ozone layer thinning, though I still remain skeptical that the UV rays coming through our atmosphere are that much more potent than they were 400 years ago.
I do feel that the suntan lotions of today have been known to cause more problems than they cure. Complicated skin problems can arise and in many cases people wind up with cancer because of it rather than in spite of it.
So what can we do to help ourselves stay in the sun throughout the summer? Stay tuned for more!

One product I’ve been meaning to talk about on this blog but haven’t yet gotten around to it (until today!) is the ADR-4 Food and Beverage Energizer and Harmonizer. This product is designed to add quality, taste and health-giving properties to water and foods.
This product is incredible for your immune system, and will help your body absorb nutrients and eliminate toxins faster. I actually have a little party trick that I’m fond of. I take a bottle of wine and pour two glasses. I put one glass on the table and the other on the ADR-4 and get a variety of people to do a taste test.
Time and time again, people consistently seem to think that the glass on the ADR-4 is a smoother, tastier and even more expensive wine. That says it all to me.
The ADR-4 has a magnetic embedded in a ceramic casing which creates resonant effects that restructure the water molecules in the water or food. This allows your body to absorb the nutrients faster and more efficiently.

There is often a lot of debate in the health and nutrition world about what is the best way to start off your day. Some recommend a light breakfast of fruit while others swear that breakfast rich in protein is the most important meal of the day.
My opinion is that the most important thing about your breakfast is that it should get your metabolism going right. In order to do this, you need to start with something that has a decent amount of protein in it as well as folate, which are your greens and trace minerals.
At this point, I can’t honestly think of anything more ideal for breakfast than something like a superfood, so I am going to once again recommend that if you are reading this and have trouble finding the right breakfast for yourself, if you find yourself being hungry an hour after breakfast or have cravings later in the day for sweets or junk food, try the Life Enthusiast Co-op’s Exsula Superfood.
The Exsula Superfood is filled with Peruvian ginseng, a great stimulant of the overall metabolism, as well as maca, ginkgo biloba and green tea. These ingredients all positively impact the metabolism and ensure that you start your day off the right way.
