NEW PRODUCTS

Zeo pH Plus is an immune system booster. It is highly alkaline (pH of 8.0). Cancer cells can not live in an alkaline environment. Zeo pH Plus increases the response of the immune system by producing a total systemic effect and heightens the body's production of T-cells. The main ingredient is the natural mineral zeolite, which has a unique cage-like molecular structure that easily binds to foreign substances in the body, including carcinogens and gastrointestinal toxins, such as aldehydes. **

Protamin S is a combination of natural minerals, amino acids, and vitamin C that will quickly and safely provide more energy. Protamin S contains particular amino acids that are the most important for the body to synthesize the proteins that help repair cellular damage. It also improves cellular communication by helping the body produce phosphokines, which phosphorylate proteins such that they become more soluble in the blood stream and thus build cellular support. **

In the News
Last week the federal government announced 17 new additions to the "Report on Carcinogens" issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' list of known cancer-causing agents. Among the new items are:(1)
  • Hepatitis B virus.
  • Hepatitis C virus.
  • Some forms of human papilloma virus (HPV).
  • X-rays.
  • Neutrons - used in medicine and research.
  • Gamma rays - used in research and medicine, the nuclear power industry, the military, and various consumer products.

The list now contains 246 known or suspected cancer-causing substances. New to the 'suspected' list is lead, found in car batteries, glass, ceramics, some cosmetics and as a fuel additive. Also new on the suspected list are substances that form when meats are cooked or grilled at high temperatures. Studies suggest an increased cancer risk when foods containing them are eaten. Among these substances are heterocyclic amines. Grilled meat, fried potatoes, broiled fish, deep fried foods, contain heterocyclic amines. When the body metabolizes these by-products in an attempt to get rid of them, it converts them into carcinogens. This places a burden on the liver phase II detoxification pathways leading to systemic DNA-damaging free radical degradation causing toxins to become impacted in the connective tissue and lymphatic system. The result is toxicity and malnutrition at the cellular level as well as chronic disturbances in the regulatory activities of the immune system.(2)

Up to 90% of all cancers are thought to be due to the effect of environmental carcinogens, such as those in cigarette smoke, food, water, and air, combined with deficiencies of the nutrients the body needs for proper functioning of the detoxification and immune systems. (3) Therefore, proper functioning of the liver's detoxification systems is critical. High levels of exposure to environmental toxins, coupled with a poorly functioning liver, can profoundly increase our risk of cancer. (4)

Consequently, it is very important that we provide our body with antioxidants and the micronutrients needed for proper free radical protection and liver funtion. The first step we recommend is to limit the intake of such toxins by avoiding those foods that contribute to such toxicity. Increasing alkaline foods, such as fruits and vegetables, will support the liver enzymes needed to metabolize many toxins. We also recommend supplementing with a quality micronutrient/antioxidant formula. For serious toxicity we recommend Zeo pH Plus for its ability to neutralize toxins, such as amines; Protamin S along with biological remedies such as Toxex, and the drainage kit.
