Beat Hair Loss With Alive Vegital Silica

Categories: Alive Brand, Hair Loss

BEFORE Shannon Chung Spring 2008: Hair Loss

In an earlier article I provided a regime on how to combat hair loss.  The following is a link to my previous article on http://www.alivehealthblog.com/category/hair-loss/ The article covered all of things we can do to prevent hair loss, or get hair back once it has been lost.  One of the key supplements when dealing with hair loss is Vegital Silica.  I have been taking Alive Vegital Silica for about a year and a half for my hair, skin, nails and bones.  I have seen a tremendous difference and people that know me cannot believe the change in my hair!  It is always improving, but I thought I would post a before and after picture so you can see for youself.  Not only did I experience dramitic hair loss, the little hair that I did have was incredibly thin and broken.  I could not wear a head band or a hair clip of any kind at one point; it would just fall out. 

AFTER Shannon Chung Fall 2009: Hair Growing Back Using Alive Vegital Silica

So how much should you take?  For severe hair loss take 4 capsules of Alive Vegital Silica everyday; 2 after breakfast and 2 after dinner.  On average people see results in about three to six months.  Also I was doing other things like ensuring my protein intake was sufficient as well as using Shen Min Topical Hair Solution.  I massage Shen Min into my scalp every night.  Also I make sure that I do not use any harsh chemicals in my hair.  I use Herbal Glo Thinning Hair Shampoo and i try to avoid any hair product like hair spray.  Internal is the first and best thing you can do for stopping hair loss.   Don’t forget that this is not a miracle, you have to make taking your supplements a high priority.  Think of it as important as brushing your teeth.  Once you start seeing the results you will be so happy.

Alive Vegital Silica 180's 500mg For Hair, Skin, Nails and Bone Health

As always we hope we see you soon!  We would love to help you with your hair. No one wants to live with hair loss if they don’t have to.  There are many ways to combat hair loss, again read the previous article on hair loss for a solid regime.  The link is posted above.  Alive Vegital Silica is only available at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.  We have had this high quality silica for years and it has helped many customers over the years.  The key is to remember to take it everyday morning and night.  Remember, Vegital Silica is not only important for your hair, skin and nails, it is also vital for your bones!  When taken correctly, it has been shown to repair little tiny fractures in the bone.  When you are continuously repairing your skelatal system, it makes it even harder for you to break a bone if you were to fall.  A long time customer of ours who is in her 70′s told us she has been taking our Vegital Silica for years.  One day she fell and she went to the doctor to make sure everything was okay and the doctor was surprised that she didn’t break anything at her age! 

Happy New Year!  Here’s to Health and Happiness!  See you soon.

Homeopathic Flu Prevention: Influenzium 9ch

Categories: Flu, H1N1

Another way to protect yourself from the flu is with Boiron Homeopathic remedies called Influenzium 9ch.  Influenzium 9ch is made from the updated influenzium vaccine. 

Dosage: 1 single dose tube per week for five weeks.  The best time to do it is in the fall, but it would still be a good idea to start now.  It is better to protect yourself at some point rather then not at all.  This treatment can be given to people of any age.  For young children dissolve the tube in some water.

Clinical evaluation in influenzal infection:

A clinical study was done on 100 patients.  They were followed during 2 winters and they were tested using the preventitive Influenzium 9ch. 

Results: Before the treatment 82% of the people involved had one episode of influenza each winter.

1st winter: 78% had neither influenza or a cold.  11% had a slight winter rhinitis with no influenza and 11% had influenza or a cold.

2nd winter: 85% had neither influenza or a cold. 9% had a slight winter rhinitis with no influenza and 6% has influenza or a cold.

There is also another homeopathic approach called Thymuline 9ch which is used to prevent H1N1.  There are many things you can do to better your health and keep you free from the flu.  These products are available at Alive Health Centre, Supplements Plus and Morning Sun.   We will see you soon!

Now Renew Life has come out with what is being called the Ultimate Fish Oil.  They are of superior quality and have been compared to Nordic Naturals or Eskimo 3 Enzymatics fish oils.  In fact the Norweigian Gold Ultimate Fish Oils exceed world standards for fish oil quality and purity.  Most of us know why we take fish oils, but just to re-cap and re-fresh fish oils nourish the whole body because of their essential fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.  They promote healthy skin, brain, heart, nervous system, joints and they help reduce excess inflammation in the body. 

What are the advantages with Norwegian Gold Fish Oils?

  • All their fish oils are encapsulated in natural fish-derived gel caps!

How Much Fish Oil Do you Need?

  • For someone with no health concerns it is recommended to take a combined dosage of 1000mg of EPA and DHA.  This dosage is to maintain tissue health, skin, brain and joints health etc.
  • For someone with heart problems, unhealthy arteries, high cholesterol, joint pain, low mental acuity or other health conditions it is recommended to take a dosage as high as 4000mg of EPA and DHA.

Last year I helped a man who was in his 40′s.  He wanted to get something for his father.  He told me about his old mans lifestyle and what he is already taking.  His arteries were not as healthy as they should be so I suggested that he try giving him Strauss Heart Drops.  A year later and the son still comes in once and awhile to get him the Strauss Heart Drops.  His father is doing great!  We had a customer years ago with four arteries blocked, and within a few months they were perfect!   We have had many customers say:  “If this can keep me around a few more years so I can see my grandchilden, then these Heart Drops are the ultimate gift!”

What Happened At Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s Sytrinol Seminar

Categories: Cholesterol
Lorna Vanderhaeghe - Master of Health Studies and a degree in Biochemistry

Lorna Vanderhaeghe - Master of Health Studies and a degree in Biochemistry

As always Lorna Vanderhaeghe never disappoints! A few weeks ago, she conducted a free seminar on her new product called Sytrinol that is proven to lower your lousy cholesterol (LDL) and keep your healthy cholesterol (HDL) at the optimal level.  Lousy and healthy are just key words to help you remember which is your good and bad cholesterol.  The proper name for LDL is (low density lipoproteins) and for HDL (high density lipoproteins). 

What is all the fuss about cholesterol? 

Cholesterol is not that hard to understand, and it is one of those things that is easier to control than most people think.  All you need is a simple blood test and your doctor can tell you where you are.  Cholesterol is definately needed and it is not all bad otherwise we would not have it in the first place.  However, it is our lifestyles that get our Cholesterol out of balance, which ultimately puts us at risk for heart disease.  According to Lorna, Over 40% of North Americans have high cholesterol, but the good news is that nine out of 10 people can lower their LDL and improve their HDL with dietary changes and nutritional supplements alone!

More Reasons To Try Sytrinol, The Natural Approach Before Statin Drugs

Sometimes we are too quick to succomb to Statin Drugs.  While their are times that they are necassary, their are times when we should look at a natural approach that does not have any side effects like Sytrinol.  Here are the side effects of Cholesterol lowering Statin Drugs:

  1. An increase in breast cancer.
  2. An increse in Estrodile (bad estrogen, too much can lead to cnacers).
  3. A decrease in CO-Q-10, which is a phenominal antioxident that your liver produces naturally. Statin drugs stop the liver from producing this antioxident.  CO-Q-10 keep your arteries healthy, and prevents hardening of the arteries.

What is a normal reading for cholesterol?

According to Lorna, your total cholesterol should be less than 5.2 mmol/L, your HDL should be greater than 1.3 mmol/L for women and greater than 1.0 mmol/L for men.  Lastly, your LDL should be less than 2.6 mmmol/L.

What is the Next Step

If you know that you have high cholesterol, it is not too late to do something about it.  Lorna Vanderhaeghe has been in the industry for over 25 years.  She has a Master in Health Studies and a degree in Biochemistry.  Lorna is the author of nine books.  Her newest one is entitled: Your 30 Day Heart Smart Solution.  You can visit her on her interactive website http://healthyimmunity.com/ If you want to make a change regarding your high cholesteral, high blood pressure and your heart health in general, here is Lorna’s advice along with Alive Health Centre Supplements Plus and Morning Sun:

  1. Fish Oil or Lorna’s Vegetarian Essential Fatty Acids (DHA & EPA)
  2. Sytrinol
  3. Magnesium Glycinate
  4. Pomergranate Extract
  5. CO-Q-10
  6. Pycnoginal 200mg
  7. Non Flushin Niacin
  8. Vit C
  9. Green Tea
  10. Curcummin
  11. Vitamin E

Remember, if you are already on Statin Drugs, then you should NOT stop your medications on your own.  You should also consult your doctor before taking anything else especially of you are on blood pressure medications.  If you want to make a change you should:

  1. Stay on your medications until you talk to your doctor.
  2. Talk to your doctor about a different approach, or find one that will help you with a natural approach.  They will monitor you.
  3. It is possible to take Sytrinol with Statin Drugs, but you must be under the suprovision of your Doctor.
  4. Eventually you can go off the Statin Drugs.
  5. Then get tested in one month to make sure everything is heading in the right direction.

As always, we hope that you will come and visit us at either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.  Do not sit in silence; there are so many things you can to better your health!  Get excited and take charge of your health.  Let’s work together, along with your doctor to ensure you are doing all you can to lead a happy and healthy life.  Look forward to seeing you!
