There's a pill for that...

In traditional medicine doctors are trained to identify a disease or health challenge and treat the symptom. You have high blood pressure, your doctor prescribes a pill to treat your high blood pressure. You have high cholesterol, your doctor prescribes a pill like Zocor, Crestor or Lipitor to lower your cholesterol. You have heartburn, your doctor prescribes Prilosec or Nexium.

The list goes on and on. Then when the drug they prescribed you causes another problem because they robbed your body of nutrients that allow your body to work properly, they prescribe you another pill.

Virtually all the drugs mentioned above deplete your body of B Vitamins and some CoQ10. Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to anemia, as well as nerve and brain damage, heart disease and more.

Dr Sheryl Duchess, a Naturopath Doctor, says “there are no fences in your body. Each of our body systems are connected and interact with each other. When one of our body systems becomes out of balance, it can affect the entire health and balance of our body.”

If all your doctor does for you is run test that reveal health problems and just treats the problem with a pill or surgery instead of looking for the underlying cause, you may want to continue looking for alternatives. Some area of your body needs cleansing or nourished.

Diabetic Drugs Deplete Body of Key Nutrients

In a study entitled "Bioenergetics in clinical medicine. XI. Studies on coenzyme Q and diabetes mellitus", researchers show that diabetics taking certain commonly used anti-diabetic drugs deplete the body of Coenzyme Q10.  The authors said "A deficiency of COQ10 in the pancreas could impair bioenergetics, the generation of ATP, and the biosynthesis of insulin." Dymelor, Glyburide, Phenformin and Tolazamide inhibited the COQ10-enzyme while Tolbutamide, Glypizide, and Chlorpropamide were noninhibitory.

All cellular functions depend upon the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a molecule with three high-energy phosphate bonds, which exist in all of our cells. It is the primary energy source for many metabolic processes. Coenzyme Q10 is essential to the ATP production process, and the heart has a high metabolic demand, which is why normal levels of Coenzyme Q10 are associated with good cardiovascular health.

Low levels of Coenzyme Q10 can cause potential problems of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, low levels of energy and a weakened immune system.

Coenzyme Q10 is safe to take it does not produce any toxic side effects when ingested by humans or animals. It is listed in the 42nd edition of the Physicians Desk Reference as replacement therapy for a nutrient, and no adverse reactions are listed.

We recommend Heart Health Advanced Co-Q10 with CoQSol-CF™ and vitamin E. CoQSol-CF™  (102mg) is a unique, patent-pending formula of CoQ10, food grade d-limonene (which serves as a non-polar, organic solvent), and tocopherol (vitamin E) (200 IU) that creates a liquid, crystal-free solution of CoQ10 that provides enhanced bioavailability. Combining CoQ10 with vitamin E generates a synergistic antioxidant effect on lipoprotein and spares the vitamin E. By improving absorption it helps maintain normal blood pressure, helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, provides antioxidant protection for the cardiovascular system, helps maintain heart muscle strength, helps maintain cognitive health and promotes cellular energy production.*

Birth Control Pill Users Need to Supplement With Vitamin B

Numerous studies show that oral contraceptives deplete B vitamins. Three B vitamins, folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12, are depleted by oral contraceptives. These B vitamins are necessary to metabolize the amino acid homocysteine. Women who take oral contraceptives for years may be increasing their risk of heart disease because increased levels of homocysteine increases the risk of plaque build up in the arteries which can cause heart attacks.

If that is not a good enough reason to supplement, "the pill", also deplete your body of other nutrients that can cause depression, weak immune system, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and more.

Vitamin B-12 comes from bacteria; it is not synthesized by plants or animals. We get it by taking supplements or by eating eggs or meats. The ability to absorb B-vitamins naturally decreases with age, and various indicators of reduced cognitive performance are associated with reduced B-vitamin levels. Activated forms of vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid allow your body to absorb more of the nutrients.

We recommend Isotonix Activated B-Complex because it delivers metabolically active forms of several vitamins and minerals. By providing the metabolically active forms of these vitamins in isotonic form, you can be certain that your body is getting the vital nutrients it needs quickly and effectively.

Cool Calcium Map

Don't forget to get your Calcium!

Gastric Bypass may cause risk of Osteoporosis

Gastric bypass surgery combines the creation of a small stomach pouch to restrict food intake and decreased ability to absorb nutrients from food.

The lack of calcium absorption can cause osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease. People who undergo this procedure are required to take nutritional supplements to help offset these deficiencies. The more extensive the gastric bypass surgery, the greater the risk for complications and nutritional deficiencies.

The problem that many of these patients face is the inability to absorb calcium supplementation as it is for most people that have not had gastric bypass surgery.

Ordinary calcium tablets require stomach acid to dissolve their compounds. Even if the calcium tablet is blended correctly, it may be difficult for the body to utilize or break down the calcium. One explanation may be that many calcium brands use calcium from eggshell or oyster shell. These may not be well absorbed by the body. Another reason calcium may not be absorbed from a tablet is because of DCP, which is a binding agent used to hold the tablet together. DCP does not break down in the body. In addition to binders, some calcium supplements may have additives such as chlorine and other chemicals. Even assuming no binders are used in the calcium tablet, the body must still break down a hard-pressed tablet into a usable form. If the tablet cannot be broken down sufficiently in the stomach, then the calcium will not be absorbed. If you can't break down the calcium, your body is robbed of the calcium needed to support bodily functions.

Isotonix Calcium Plus paves the way for powerful results since it is in an isotonic form rather than a tablet. When an isotonic substance enters the body, it will be absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly. With isotonic fluids, little nutritive value is lost making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient. There is nothing artificial about it. An isotonic fluid is nature's own nutrient delivery system.
