Founder of the International Academy of Wellness, 1983 We are here to help you achieve Total Wellness: physical, mental, and spiritual health. A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he picked up an empty pickle jar and proceeded to fill it with large rocks. He asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. The pebbles rolled into the areas between the rocks. He asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. The sand filled up the spaces between the pebbles. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and proceeded to pour their entire contents into the jar. The students laughed. Food For Thought"Talent is God-given, be humble.

What are the potential benefits of Astaxanthin [Ax] : Ax is a Potent Antioxidant, natural anti inflammatory and anti aging supplement. Astaxanthin is a potent carotenoid . it provides demonstrable health benefits. Astaxanthin may be useful in the maintenance of human health. Several studies have shown the effectiveness of astaxanthin as a cancer preventive in rats, mice and humans. For example, Tanaka et al. (1994b) showed that astaxanthin protected mice from urinary bladder carcinogenesis. Astaxanthin has been shown to significantly influence immune function in a number of in vitro and in vivo assays using animal and human models. There is abundant evidence that Ax can help protect the retina from oxidative damage (Snodderly 1995). A recent study with rats indicates that astaxanthin is effective at ameliorating retinal injury, and that it is also effective at protecting photoreceptors from degeneration (Tso and Lam 1996). The results of this study suggest that astaxanthin could be useful for prevention and treatment of neuronal damage associated with age-related macular degeneration, and that it may also be effective at treating ischemic reperfusion injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, and other types of central nervous system injuries (Tso and Lam 1996). In this study, astaxanthin was found to easily cross the blood-brain barrier (unlike beta-carotene), and did not form crystals in the eye (unlike canthaxanthin; Tso and Lam 1996). Ax is a useful supplement for any autoimmune disease including Fibromyalgia, Lupus, MS. It is useful as a cardiovascular support supplement as well as Brain support supplement.

Studies reveal new benefits from taking vitamins |
| Supplements suppliers' leaders have hailed the publication of three new studies in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a publication from the Journal of the American Medical Association, which they say further reinforce the important role vitamins can play as part of a healthy lifestyle. The first study1 suggests women with higher intakes of calcium from both food and supplements—up to 1,300mg/day — appear to have a lower risk of cancer overall, and both men and women with high calcium intakes have lower risks of colorectal cancer and other cancers of the digestive system. A second study2 shows that women who took a combination of B vitamins, including folic acid (2.5 mg/day), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6, 50 mg/day) and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12, 1 mg/day), decreased their risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of severe irreversible vision loss for older Americans. The third study3 suggests that higher blood levels of vitamin D are inversely associated with the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections. We've known for many years that these essential nutrients play important roles in health—vitamin D and calcium for bone health and folic acid for the prevention of neural tube birth defects—but these latest studies suggest new and exciting benefits that need further exploration." "It's also interesting to point out that the women in this study who had the highest calcium intakes—and lower risks of cancer—had lower body mass indexes, tended to be physically active and were less likely to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. This further reinforces the notion that good health is truly a combination of overall healthy practices—and vitamins and other supplements are an important part of that formula." Of the second study, he said: "This is very promising news for the millions of older Americans who may be at risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Currently, there are very few treatment options available for AMD, so prevention is key. The results of this study suggest that B vitamins could be combined with other supplemental nutrients including the antioxidants, vitamins C and E and carotenoids beta-carotene and lutein, which have also been shown to lower the risk of AMD."

Archives of Internal Medicine, 2009; 169 (4):384-390. How Exactly Does Sunshine Lower Your Vitamin D Levels? First, there’s an important distinction that must be made. There are two primary forms of ultraviolet radiation from the sun: UVA, and UVB, and they have different wave lengths and impact your body in different ways. UVA has a wavelength of about 320 to 400 nanometers, and UVB has a wave length of about 280 to 320 nanometers.( A wavelength is simply the distance a wave has to travel before it starts repeating itself, and a nanometer is a millionth of a meter.) Because the UVA has a longer wavelength, it penetrates materials more easily, such as the earth’s atmosphere and window glass. Most of us living in contemporary culture are modern day cavemen. We work inside and don’t spend much time outdoors. It really wasn’t until the industrial revolution that we had the development of mass produced windows. Prior to that time, windows were very costly and only the very wealthy could afford them. So people working indoors were not exposed to sunlight filtered through window glass. The key point here is that window glass will effectively filter out the majority of UVB radiation, but it minimally filters out UVAs. What’s the significance of that, you ask? It’s important to realize that vitamin D3 is formed from exposure to UVB rays, whereas UVA radiation actually destroys vitamin D. This helps keep your body in balance; it’s one of the protective mechanisms your body has to avoid overdosing on vitamin D when you’re outside. However, when you’re exposed to sunlight through windows -- in your office, your home or your car -- you get the UVA but virtually none of the beneficial UVB. This can lead to significant health problems, because in addition to destroying vitamin D3, UVA’s also increase oxidative stress. UVA is one of the primary culprits behind skin cancer, and it increases photo aging of your skin. It’s also what causes you to tan. You can actually get vitamin D without significantly darkening your skin, because the UVB wavelength does not stimulate the melanin pigment to produce a tan. The Connection Between Cholesterol and Healthy Vitamin D Levels As I said earlier, one of the precursors for vitamin D is cholesterol. So if you’re taking statin drugs, or proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec or Prevocid, which are typically used to treat ulcer conditions, you’ll naturally lower your cholesterol levels. This in turn will decrease your body’s ability to manufacture vitamin D. This is yet another potential reason your vitamin D levels may be low, or why you may have trouble optimizing your vitamin D levels. - To optimize your vitamin D levels, get safe outdoor sun exposure or use a safe tanning bed, being careful not to get sunburned.
If for whatever reason you’re unable to do that, then clearly you’re going to want to use an oral or sublingual vitamin D3, which can also eliminate the whole issue of absorbing the vitamin D3 from your skin. However, beware that anytime you use oral vitamin D you’ll want to get your vitamin D levels checked regularly, using a qualified lab such as LabCorp, to make sure you’re within the optimal range and to avoid overdosing.
- If you’re going to shower after spending time outdoors in the sun, don’t use soap for at least two days, to maximize the absorption of vitamin D in your skin.
The benefits of vitamin D are staggering, and the optimal way to get your vitamin D is through safe exposure to the sun. I’ve written extensively on this topic over the past year, but if you need to refresh your memory, please review the related articles listed below. It is worth the extra effort to apply this information so you and your family can get all the vitamin D benefits they deserve.
