Leaky Gut Syndrome

(story from Tcha)

My daughter who is 9, was diagnosed at 3 years old, with Leaky Gut Syndrome. As the protein kernel inside wheat (gluten) passes into the blood stream, her immune system sees it as an allergen and attacks it, causing my daughter to: breathe poorly, complain her stomach hurts, contract a runny nose and persistent cough; all symptoms of her gluten intolerance.

When she takes 1.8 oz of Body Balance daily, her stomach doesn't hurt and is free of all of her other symptoms. Her uncle has Celiac Disease and has found Body Balance to be one of the very few supplements he's able to take daily without experiencing toxicity from the product.

Hope this is helpful. BTW, its because Body Balance has helped my daughter that I continue to share her story with anyone interested in experiencing greater health and well-being.

Take good care,
Tcha


So what exactly is Celiac Disease - and could I have it?
Celiac Disease (CD) is a lifelong, digestive disorder affecting children and adults. When people with CD eat foods that contain gluten, it creates an immune-mediated toxic reaction that causes damage to the small intestine and does not allow food to be properly absorbed. Even small amounts of gluten in foods can affect those with CD and cause health problems. Damage can occur to the small bowel even when there are no symptoms present.
(http://www.celiac.org)
Gluten is the common name for the proteins in specific grains that are harmful to persons with celiac disease. These proteins are found in ALL forms of wheat (including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn and faro) and related grains rye, barley and triticale and MUST be eliminated.

Symptoms of Celiac Disease May Include One or More of the Following:

• Recurring bloating, gas, or abdominal pain
• Chronic diarrhea or constipation or both
• Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
• Pale, foul-smelling stool
• Unexplained anemia
• Bone or joint pain
• Behavior changes/depression/irritability
• Vitamin K Deficiency
• Fatigue, weakness or lack of energy
• Delayed growth or onset of puberty
• Failure to thrive (in infants)
• Missed menstrual periods
• Infertility male & female
• Spontaneous miscarriages
• Canker sores inside the mouth
• Tooth discoloration or loss of enamel

Here is a great web site for more information on Leaky Gut Syndrome too http://www.leakygut.co.uk/About%20Leaky%20Gut.htm

For more information on Leaky Gut Syndrome, check out the August issue of Scientific American on Celiac Disease. Great information - lots of pictures. : ) This is something that is affecting a great number of people - many of whom do not even know they have it.

We know that Body Balance can help. I have several customers with Celiac who have been helped tremendously by the Body Balance formula. Please let me know if you'd like more information.

Yeast Infections, Acid Reflux, Sleeping, Body Aches

Below is one of thousands of letters we get telling us how much people love Body Balance.

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I realize this is a long testimonial, however, I wanted to share all the ways that Jeff and I feel better since we began the product just 2 months ago. Maybe someone else will be able to relate to one or more of these stories!

In December 2008 Kristen introduced me to Body Balance. Being a fairly healthy person I really didn't think I had a "need" for the product, other than to better my overall health. I thought, it couldn't hurt. My husband and I both began with 4oz each day. I immediately began to sleep more soundly and not wake 3 to 4 times a night like usual. In addition, my mind just felt more clear.

After 30 days we increased our intake to 8oz each and both continued just to feel good. It wasn't until a few day ago I began to realize subtle differences that I had not noticed before.

• For at least a year now I would wake up each morning and my entire body would ache. I'm only 33 years old, a mother of 2 boys, not over weight, and really did not have a specific reason to feel this way...I just did. I would feel stiff and my back would ache. Just to bend over and pull up my pants would sometimes take my breath away. This would last for about 15-30 minutes each day until my body warmed up and I got going for the day. And then the other day I realized I have not felt that way in over a month now!
• In May of 2008 my dermatologists prescribed me a very low dose of antibiotics to help with adult acne. Although it was only 10mg a day my body was very sensitive to the antibiotics and I would indeed get a yeast infection. I was strict about eating yogurt everyday, sometimes twice a day, as I had learned in years past that yogurt would help me prevent this when taking antibiotics. However, if I would run out or miss a dose of yogurt sure enough a yeast infection would strike. I know I had 3 just over this summer. Like I said, I began Body Balance in December 2008 and did not think to continue with the yogurt. I would wake up, drink my Body Balance and then begin my day. It wasn't until almost the end of month 2 on the product that I realized I had not been eating my yogurt. I am still on the 10mg of antibiotics, but, NO yeast infections. WOW!
• My husband has had different results. For the past two years now he has been taking the prescription Nexium for acid reflux. This was an illness he has had for several years and from time to time would try and control it with over the counter medicines. It also affects his mother and father. It was so bad 2 years ago that we took him to the ER and thought he was having a heart attack at age 33. Thankfully, he was not, it was only symptoms of severe acid reflux. In September of '08 we realized the medicine would not cure him of his illness, only make him comfortable and mask his symptoms. So, we changed our diets and this did help. He also began the Body Balance in December of 2008 and would complain how much it burned his throat when he drank it each day. After about 4-5 weeks he said it no longer felt that way. I can only imagine how damaged his esophagus was from years of the reflux and how the Body Balance must have been healing to his throat. He now enjoys drinking the product and the reflux is much better and no more burning!

My husband and I both love the product and plan to continue drinking it indefinitely. But it is kind of nice just to sit and think back on how we both, in different ways, feel better in just these last 2 months!

Thank you for allowing me to share,

Super Smoothie for Breakfast

Want a great way to start you energetic day? The following Smoothie is adapted from a recipe on the Food Matters web site. I highly recommend you check out their site too at www.FoodMatters.com.

I have changed just a few things that I believe will make it even more of a Super Shake!

Step 1: The Milk

• Soak a small handful of raw organic almonds overnight and in the morning throw them into the blender with 2 cups of water
• Blend on high speed until the almonds have been completely broken up and the water will turn into white frothy milk (yum)

Step 2: The Smoothie

Add in the following ingredients to the Almond Milk:

• 1 small avocado or 1 banana or half of each
  
• 1 heaping tablespoon of Life Force TruGreens
  
• 1 tablespoon of Raw Honey or Agave Nectar
• 1 tablespoon of Raw Cacao Powder
• 1 tablespoon of Maca Powder(optional)
• 2 tablespoons of Life Force AminoCharge Protein
• 4 droppers of Life Force Amino Regulator (comes with the Protein)
  
• 1 cup of ice

Blend it all up and drink immediately!

I always start my day with 3-4 ounces of Body Balance then follow with breakfast or this shake.
Try it and see how your day changes. I'd love to hear your results and your twists on the recipe.

Schools Out - Now What? Keeping kids happy and healthy this summer.

Today was the last day of school here in Madison, WI and, while we all breath a sigh of relief that we made it through another year - some of us are not looking forward to summer. Maybe I can help. If you have kids at home in the summer, of course you know all about trying to keep them busy and out of trouble. But what if I could help you keep them happy, healthy and CALM? Yes - I said calm. I don't mean drugged and I don't mean prescription meds either. I'm talking about natural, organic, great-tasting nutrition that could make your summer so much better.

Some of the things you might see with Body Balance are:

• fewer allergy attacks
• better sleep
• fewer cravings for sweets
• more even temperament
• fewer tantrums
• more focused energy
• better health
• Sunburn Relief - just dab a little directly on burns, stings and bites
  

Body Balance is a quick 2 - 4 ounce drink in the morning that makes the whole day go better. I've seen it over and over with kids - some of whom have issues with ADD or ADHD and others who just don't feel well. Maybe they don't eat the best and constipation becomes a problem. That could make anyone cranky. Body Balance has helped many children feel better in just days.

And how about you? Could you use a little extra energy this summer to get through the long, crazy days running from the beach to the park to the swimming pool, tennis lessons, etc. ? Please give yourself the gift of natural health and energy with Body Balance.

As always - all Life Force products are guaranteed for 45 days from date of purchase. We call it the "empty bottle promise". Use the product for a month. If you don't love it, return the empties for a refund. We really stand behind our products.

Life Force has a simple philosophy - give the body the nutrition it needs, and it will heal itself.

Why not give yourself and your family the gift of a healthy and happy summer. Contact me today to learn more. MarysLifeForce@aol.com

Do Arthritis Meds Scare You?

They should!
"Talk to you doctor to see if the benefits outweigh the risks - such as heart disease, stroke, etc..."

It makes me so angry to know that people believe these dangerous drugs are their only choice for relief from constant pain - the only ticket to a somewhat normal life.

My 80 year old mother has severe arthritis in her lower back. She was in such pain that just sitting in a chair made her want to cry. Now - she walks two miles a day Pain FREE! She does not take any prescription arthritis drugs. She uses healthy, pleasant tasting whole-food nutrition, and no one can believe that she is 80 years old. She looks 20 years younger!

Since I've been working with these products, I have seen case after case of pain being alleviated or even eliminated. I hear stories from people I know whose doctors are amazed at the speed of their healing from both long term illnesses and recent injuries. I know of several cases where osteoporosis was diagnosed, and, after 6 months of using these products, bone scans revealed increased bone density! I'm not making this up. I can put you on the phone with people.

Maybe it's time for you to take a look at your overall health and that of the people you love. We need to break our dependence on pharmaceuticals and begin to take control of our own health.

My mission is to help you do just that. Stop allowing the drug companies to scare you. I want you to be able to throw away your prescriptions because your body is healing naturally. It won't happen overnight and it may not happen for everyone, but I've seen it happen for many.

Unlike the 'drugs', these products can not hurt you. We do not have to tell you to watch for liver disease, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke. In fact, in many cases people report more energy, better sleep, less pain, fewer colds and flu and a general feeling of well being. Wow! Isn't that a nice side effect.

I am not here to tell you that these products will cure anything. What I believe is that the human body is an amazing thing, and when you give it what it needs, it can heal itself.

So why not give your body what it needs and eventually, with your doctor's guidance, you may be able to take away the drugs that are hurting you as much or more than they are helping you.

Is Fluoride Safe ? You Decide.

www.rense.com...

"Sodium fluoride, a hazardous-waste by-product from the manufacture of aluminum, is a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, anesthetics, hypnotics, psychiatric drugs, and military nerve gas. It`s historically been quite expensive to properly dispose of, until some aluminum industries with an overabundance of the stuff sold the public on the terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of buying it at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our water supplies, and then DRINKING it."


www.fluoridealert.org...

"It is now known - thanks to the meticulous research of Dr. Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England - that the pineal gland is the primary target of fluoride accumulation within the body."

http://www.ecomall.com/greenshopping/fluoride.htm

Fluoride is an acute toxin with a rating slightly higher than that of lead.According to "Clinical Toxicology of Commercial products," 5th Edition, 1984, lead is given a toxicity rating of 3 to 4, and Fluoride is rated at 4 (3 = moderately toxic, 4 = very toxic). On December 7, 1992, the new EPA Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for lead was set at 0.015 ppm, with a goal of 0.0ppm. The MCL for fluoride is currently set for 4.0ppm - that's over 350 times the permissable level of lead.Fluoride is also considered toxic waste. It is one of the most bone seeking elements known to mankind. The US Public Health Service has stated that fluoride makes the bones more brittle and the dental enamel more porous.

http://www.mbschachter.com/dangers_of_fluoride_and_fluorida.htm

According to the Physicians Desk Reference, "in hypersensitive individuals, fluorides occasionally cause skin eruptions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, or urticaria. Gastric distress, headache, and weakness have also been reported. These hypersensitive reactions usually disappear promptly after discontinuation of the fluoride."
