Organic Iodine feeds your thyroid gland, which controls metabolism and promotes maturation of the nervous system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Disinfect Your Blood:</strong><br />
Iodine is also the main natural disinfecting agent in our body. Every 15 minutes, all of your blood goes through that small organ &#8211; the thyroid gland.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Prevent Cardiovascular Disease:</strong><br />
Laminarin is a polysaccharide that is helpful in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It helps to balance coagulation of blood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Detoxify From Heavy Metals:</strong><br />
Alginate is a natural absorbent of radioactive elements, heavy metals, and free radicals. It has the unique ability of binding heavy metals and radioactive elements to its own molecules. Because the Alginate cannot be broken down by bile or saliva and cannot be absorbed by the body, it is secreted from the body together with the heavy metals and radioactive substances.</p>

In it he states: &#8220;Magnesium is nothing  			short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of  			diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. We  			know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard  			to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous  			system and also for healthy teeth and bones.

<p>&#8220;Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system.<br />
Adequate levels of magnesium are essential for the heart muscle.<br />
Increased cancer rate in regions with low magnesium levels.<br />
Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents the calcification  			of our organs.&#8221;</p>

<p>The active ingredient in NCD is <a href="http://www.life-enthusiast.com/index/Brands/ZEO_Health/Zeolite_and_Humic_Acid">natural clinoptilolite / zeolite</a>, sold  						in .5 oz bottles containing 300 drops, a one month maintenance dose.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.life-enthusiast.com/index/Brands/ZEO_Health/Zeolite_and_Humic_Acid">Zeolites</a> are natural volcanic minerals with an unique, complex crystalline  						structure. It&#8217;s honeycomb framework of cavities and channels (like cages)  						works at the cellular level trapping, heavy metals and toxins.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Whole Foods declares coexistence with GMO foods possible</h1>
<p>I am just about at the end of my rope on this issue. Actually, I think we are done in. Already shot, still standing, just waiting to keel over. First our beloved white knight Obama appointed Tom Vilsack to run USDA. Sort of like appointing the goat to look after your cabbages, or maybe the fox to supervise your chickens. Tom Vilsack used to work for Monsanto, and maybe has not stopped yet.</p>
<p>Now the head honchos of the healthy foods market have agreed that coexistence with GMO foods is possible. Give me a break! Every organic farmer will have the GMO pollen blown into his (or her) fields in no time. So this is it, end of pure foods as we know it. I don&#8217;t know if there is anything that we can do short of a full uprising. The big business controls the big government, and they do whatever they want to do regardless of what the consumers (at least the educated and involved consumers) say or want.</p>
<p>With Whole Foods Market, Organic Valley, and Stonyfield Farm leading the charge, the big retail &#8220;protectors&#8221; of consumer interest have caved in. It will not be too long before &#8220;organic&#8221; means nothing more than grown in a field where GMO pollens have blown.</p>
<p>Just in case you are wondering, yes, farmers who use herbicides have about double the incidence of cancer, and the soils are depleted of micro-flora, and the beneficial insects are not doing well.</p>
<p>In our superfood blend manufacturing we buy a lot of raw ingredients. One of them is Soy Lecithin. We used to buy Organic, but that&#8217;s no longer possible. We now get &#8220;species specific&#8221; which is a lab test that determines if the plant is as nature made it, or contaminated by man&#8217;s manipulations.</p>
<p>Start planning to store large amounts of freeze dried natural <a title="superfood" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/nutrition-superfoods-c-25.html" target="_blank">superfood blends</a>, while you still can. In the not too distant future we will be not able to buy natural foods any more.</p>

<p>Food grown in continually farmed mineral depleted soil would probably deliver even less.</p>
<p>According the <a title="academy of sciences" href="http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/nal_display/index.php?info_center=4&amp;tax_level=3&amp;tax_subject=256 &amp;topic_id=1342&amp;level3_id=5140" target="_blank">National Academy Of Sciences</a>, your body needs:</p>

<p>These are the already well discredited USDA&#8217;s Recommended Daily Allowances. We probably need six times more magnesium, as evidenced by much better health in people ingesting more magnesium than calcium.</p>
<p>So, even by government standards, you&#8217;d be deficient:</p>

<p>If you ate the Standard American Diet, these mineral deficiencies would be much greater!</p>
<p>Importantly, your diet should contain at least 3 times as much potassium as sodium. If it does not, then the balance between the water inside your cells and the water outside your cells causes cellular dehydration. It is easy to exceed 2000 mg of sodium in a day &#8211; so the amount of potassium required to maintain proper cellular ion balance goes above 6000 mg!</p>
<p>It is really easy to loose mineral and pH balance. When this happens, your body starts tilting toward acid pH which stops your cells from functioning properly by lowering oxygen carrying capacity in your fluids.</p>
<p>You have to supplement with <a title="alkalizing minerals for pH balance" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/health-balance-internal-c-130.html" target="_blank">alkalizing minerals</a>. If you don&#8217;t, you are asking for trouble. Can you guess which illness is caused by oxygen deprivation?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Prevent and Treat Heart Disease</strong>, including angina and irregular  						heartbeat (arrhythmia)</p>
<p>Without adequate levels of magnesium, your heart will suffer: The  						mineral helps coordinate the activity of the heart muscle as well  						as the functioning of the nerves that initiate the heartbeat. It  						also helps keep coronary arteries from spasming, an action that  						can cause the intense chest pain known as angina. If you have a  						deficiency of magnesium &#8211; often true of those with angina and abnormal  						heart rhythms &#8211; supplementing with magnesium may help. In a recent  						study of more than 230 people with frequent arrhythmias, the likelihood  						of these abnormal rhythms dropped significantly within three weeks  						after the participants increased the amount of <strong>magnesium and  						potassium </strong>in their diets. In addition, when given by injection  						in a hospital setting, magnesium has been found to aid recovery  						from a heart attack by stabilizing heart rhythm, inhibiting blood  						clots, and expanding coronary arteries. Some studies even indicate  						that drinking &#8220;hard&#8221; water, which is high in magnesium,  						lowers the risk of death from heart attack.</p>

<p>Do  						you wonder if you could improve your blood circulation in just a  						couple of weeks? Apparently the <strong>Heart Studies Formula</strong> by  						Exsula does wonders for your arteries.</p>
<p>You may remember Bernie, Jevari&#8217;s 90 year old dad. His wife was  						worried about him. Not that she should be, but she is that way.  						She insisted that he have another physical exam. Not much was wrong,  						other than some minor blood pressure issue. A little higher than  						expected in a 30 year old, but at 90, who would be surprised? Bernie  						did not fill the prescription the good doctor wrote for him; instead  						he took a bottle of the Heart Studies Formula in the next two weeks  						and went back for a re-check. Clean bill of health. Healthy as a  						horse.</p>
<p>Heart and circulatory failures take so many lives, that to have  						a product as convenient as this available, and not take full advantage  						of it, is a little like looking at the coins on the sidewalk and  						not bending over to pick them up. Like the kids say &#8211; &#8220;This  						one is a no-brainer.&#8221;</p>
<p>There really isn&#8217;t much room for criticism of this nutritional  						approach to health restoration. Considering the statistics (half  						the population dies of circulatory problems), most likely in just  						a few years you would not give its &#8220;cost&#8221; or &#8220;inconvenience&#8221;  						a second thought, wishing that you had started earlier. This formula  						should be seen as an essential routine, and just good common sense  						- like the &#8220;cost&#8221; and &#8220;inconvenience&#8221; of looking  						both ways before crossing a busy street.</p>
<p>Researchers at the leading-edge of health optimization are noting  						that even the best diet combined with a good level of supplements  						falls short of the specific nutrients and potencies your body needs  						for optimum heart and circulatory health. Once a year you owe it  						to yourself to run a cleanup routine on your pipes. You do have  						your chimney cleaned every season, don&#8217;t you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Four Minerals that Control Your Autonomic Nervous System</h3>
<p>Calcium and Magnesium regulate the sympathetic nervous system (SNS)  						which controls our “fight or flight” reaction. SNS is  						stimulated by calcium, and inhibited by magnesium. Imbalance causes  						SNS dominance, an uptight nervous, jittery person. Magnesium will  						calm you down and bring back your sunny personality.</p>
<p>Potassium and Sodium regulate the parasympathetic nervous system  						(PSNS), which controls our ”rest &amp; digest” reaction.  						PSNS is stimulated by potassium, and inhibited by sodium. Imbalance  						causes PSNS dominance (quite rare) a lethargic, tired, slow moving  						person. Supplementing potassium will revive you out of the evening  						fatigue.</p>
<p><strong>The Result of Mineral Imbalance on Your Autonomic Nervous System</strong></p>
<p>Free excess calcium will over-stimulate your SNS when there’s  						insufficient magnesium to balance it out. Potassium is depleted,  						so the PSNS cannot be properly stimulated to offset the SNS. If  						you have an acidic cellular environment and free excess calcium,  						you’ll have an imbalance between the SNS and the PSNS of your  						autonomic nervous system. This can cause you to be hyperactive,  						quick to anger, nervous &amp; jittery, and burnt out (like many  						people in our fast paced society).</p>
<p><strong>Magnesium to Calcium Ratio</strong></p>
<p>This ratio between calcium and magnesium is very important in dealing  						with the cause and prevention of a number of disorders, including  						cardiovascular, heart and blood pressure illnesses. The absorption  						and metabolism of magnesium depends upon calcium intake, and vice  						versa. The balance between these two minerals is extremely important.  						In view of the overwhelming benefits of magnesium, the traditional  						ratio of approximately 2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium needs  						to be revised. The ideal ratio for most people&#8217;s needs is equal  						amounts of calcium and magnesium. If calcium consumption is high,  						then magnesium intake also needs to be high.</p>
<p>Note: The trace mineral boron plays a part in preventing the urinary  						loss of magnesium and calcium. You will find it in a meaningful  						amount in our Twilight America Magic Oil.</p>
<p>Take a serious look at these products. They are unlike anything  						else on the market. They deliver <a title="calcium and magnesium, natural health, natural healing solutions" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/supplements-magnesium-c-128.html?pID=1186" target="_blank">magnesium through your skin</a>,  transdermally, thanks to the charge they received in the Star Chamber  Factory.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Intestinal health is most commonly undermined by:</p>
<ol>
<li>Antibiotic usage</li>
<li>Excessive Sugar Consumption</li>
<li>Stress &#8211; your reaction to stimuli</li>
<li>Drinking Chlorinated Water</li>
<li>Long term diet of Acid Foods</li>
</ol>
<p>When the ecology of the human gastrointestinal tract becomes disrupted, beneficial microorganisms can no longer flourish in numbers necessary for proper balance.  Toxin producing bacteria and fungi begin to take over, changing the ecology of your whole gastrointestinal (GI) tract.</p>
<p>Medical researchers have revealed that the #1 health complaint received by doctors worldwide is poor digestion, malabsorption and constipation, or its opposite irritation and diarrhea quickly followed by complaints of tiredness, lack of energy, slow recovery, etc.</p>
<p>The use of laxatives to relieve constipation can be avoided by <a title="Holistic Health" href="http://www.life-enthusiast.com/index/Holistic_Health" target="_blank">holistic</a> supplementation of vital intestinal flora when there is evidence of imbalance such as gas and bloating. This condition is the result in part because of poor choice and combining of foods, and poor digestion of them usually due to lack of enzymatic activity. Here, we go full circle back to the need to balance enzymes with critical bowel flora for healthy digestion. The progressive results of imbalance causes energy to be radically reduced compromising the immune system. Chronic indigestion, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, muscle pain, candidiasis, arthritis, colon cancer and poor immune response are becoming more common, all resulting from imbalances in digestive processes and consumption of processed foods.</p>
<p>We offer effective solutions: Floracol by <a title="soil based organisms (SBOs)" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/generation-plus-m-10.html" target="_blank">Generation Plus</a> and StrataFlora by <a title="probiotics and prebiotics" href="http://life-enthusiast.com/usa/exsula-superfoods-m-7.html" target="_self">Exsula</a>. </p>
