We are born into a world of stress!
Physically and mentally we are equipped to handle the pressures of life. We are like a bridge that is designed to weather the storms and bear up under the burden of heavy traffic. A bridge will stand year after year only if the pillars that hold it up remain strong. We may think of our daily intake of nutrition as the pillars that hold up our "bridge of life". We too can survive the stresses of life if the pillars of our health remain strong. If we supply all the nutrients needed by our body on a daily basis, we support those pillars. But if we are deficient in any of these areas,, it is like someone chopping away at the foundation of our support system. After a while it will collapse just from its own weight.
This crucial area of adequate support is just where many of us are the weakest. The reason we break down or burn out under stress is because, at the time when our bodies need nutrients the most, we are likely to fail to provide them.
When our son was diagnosed with Anthrax Vaccine Leukemia, with white blood count of 364,000 and told he wouldn't live past 2-4 weeks. I stayed with him in the hospital for 9 months. He was the first military person to live past 1 month with this deadly disease. I have to believe that the nutrition we provided our 5 children growing up, had to have a part in how he was able to continue to fight. Unfortunately, he lost that battle after 9 months at age 23. The stress the rest of our family went through, my husband back home in another state, trying to raise our youngest still in high school, working his own construction company, and 2 daughters in college, with a wife staying in a motel states away and a son dying. His stress level was unbelievable. But we also had nutritional supplements from NeoLife we'd been using (admittedly off and on over the years) for 25 yrs. I was under huge stress, watching my son suffer. No exercise as I stayed in his hospital room for 9 months. Poor eating habits as I tried to keep costs down for my husband while also being with my son who was restricted from many foods, so I didn't want to eat in front of him.
Nine years later, my husband was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer. He was lucky, it was found, and they were able to remove only half of his thyroid. That blessing was to benefit the next year as your thyroid function for supporting your immune system would be paramount for him. He was then diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. He was 57, but was active, strong, healthy and for those reasons was eligible to under go Inner Luken (IL2) an Immune Therapy as chemo doesn't touch stage 4 kidney cancer. His "over all health" benefited him to be able to undergo this intense therapy that is very hard on the body. Had he been diabetic, extremely overweight, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or any other underlying health issues, he would not have qualified for this treatment. Ironic, you're stage 4 kidney cancer, but your body is "healthy" enough to undergo a strenuous immune therapy treatment. By the way, the first to second scans, shown his cancer had grown 30%. After they removed his kidney which was 4x the normal size. Radiated a heavy dose on a tumor on his sacrum. Gave 5x smaller radiations on a lymph behind his heart, and 1 low dose radiation on another lymph. He'd also been in ICU during all his IL2 treatments as they must monitor the patient extremely close. He endured 8 treatments both weeks of cycle 1 A & B. He endured 6 treatments during cycles 2 A & B. The last scan, shown the 5 tumors he had left in his lung after the 1st cycle, 3 had completely disappeared and 2 had shrunk considerably. Those 2 tumors are what is left of his cancer at this time. He's responding very well.
What are we doing? He exercises as much as he can. Started out with stretching exercises much like Yoga. Moved to doing push ups, adding ONE push up each day, until he reached 25 push ups. He rides a recumbent bike about 1 mile a day, and had added 1/4 to 1/2 a mile until he was at 8 miles a day. He walked on the tread mill 1 - 3 miles a day. For nutrition, we eat a lot of salmon, grilled or baked chicken, raw vegetables, salads, fruits. We drink organic whole milk. Lots of water or herbal tea. Never any alcohol or caffeine. He also drinks a Moringa oleifera (world most nutritious botanical) daily. A product from Zija International, the purest and complete form of moringa. You add 1 packet to a bottle of water each day. He also had been taking Ameo AGX (Ameo Gene Expression) Digest softcaps, Mens soft caps, and Cell Therapy soft caps. We used Ameo clinical grade essential oils on his kidney area, as well as pain blends where needed. Beyond this, we also take NeoLife nutritional supplements. He happens to like the chocolate Protein in his milk each morning. He also needed calcium-magnesium and Vitamin D, which are all in NeoLife Cal-Mag. He took NeoLife Full Motion (due to sciatic nerve pain from the sacrum tumor) and water on his knee causing pain. This was amazing for him. Just as the Ameo Muscle Mend and Muscle Blend mixed together worked on that pain better than oxycodone had. Due to temporary symptoms caused from his treatment, we've added several new NeoLife supplements but remain on the Zija morninga, and the Ameo oils as needed as well.
I found it very interesting to learn when our son was in the hospital, his oncology team took us aside. We had been given supplements from family and friends for our son. Things that claimed to cleanse, build his blood, strengthen his immune system, among many other "claims". The Doctors explained that all those products have been looked at through researchers, and had ALL been found to be false claims. They told us one was totally placebo effect, no benefit. Another would make him sick. Another would make a healthy person sick. My mom was on that one, and her health continued to decline, so she came off of it, and her health improved. They also told us, that the ONLY supplement program they would ever consider for their cancer patients, was from NeoLife. That Dr Arthur Furth, had worked in partnership on chemo development (which our son was on mega doses of chemo & radiation). And found NO supplements on the market that were what they claimed. They all had some synthetic, or didn't have the ingredient claimed on the bottle label. Even the FDA having tested several herbals and supplements, have removed them from shelves for over the counter sales. Some companies have come under attack of the FDA for false claims. So, we got on NeoLife, and remained on this supplement.
I also found it interesting, 9 years later with my husband's cancer. His oncology team (different state & hospital), gave us a loud firm NO! to using essential oils or any supplements as they are most often synthetic, adulterated, or not at all what they claim. Not safe for an oncology patient. I knew that Ameo was new on the market, and hoped they hadn't heard of it or didn't understand. So I brought literature, research, tests, and credentials of those endorsing it. Allowed them time to look things over. We were then told YES, you can use Ameo essential oils Externally only as they had no research to the interaction with Inner Luken treatments if taken internally. They were impressed Ameo wasn't like the other major companies they were familiar with and would not agree to be used.
As for Moringa Oleifera, he was again given approval to even drink it while in the hospital. Also Hydrate which he loved in his bottle of water, was approved. Both products from Zija International.
What better testimonies can you get than from leading hospitals for cancer? I will not be sharing which hospitals, as I've seen the false claims by companies that hospitals supported their product, then later they had to recant those statements. I'm not sharing, in respect to the hospitals and oncology teams that have far more worthy work to be done than fielding questions about products. I'm simply impressed and happy that these products have been approved. My husband also takes the NeoLife products as before, also approved by his oncology team.
Part of this is not our doing. Much of our food from the store is deficient in nutrition even before we bring it home. Vegetables are grown by chemical fertilization in mineral depleted soil. Grains are stripped of their nutrients in the "refining" industry. Then we shoot ourselves down by skipping meals and eating junk food. These and a hundred other nutritional insults insure that the pillars get knocked out from under our nutritional bridge regularly. Stress takes its toll and we become vulnerable to fatigue and disease. And with that, a note about our son. He had served a church mission, was an Eagle scout, was ROTC in college, and joined the Army. He was under stress. My husband worked a stressful job putting in 120 hours a WEEK, usually sleeping sitting in his pick up on location and eating out of a cooler. He had changed to a job where he now drives 2 hours TO and From work each day. Less stressful physically, but still stressful mentally. Stress will catch up to you if you're body isn't being properly cared for. My son wanted to be a chaplain in the Army, a good young man, he was tall & thin, but strong & healthy. My husband was hard working, very muscular, and only slightly (aged belly) over weight, but generally healthy when both of these wonderful men were struck down with cancers. No smoking, no drugs, no caffeine, no alcohol, eating properly for the most part, and plenty of exercise. If it were not for their "basic health condition" our son would have been among all the other military who'd passed in 1 month from this disease. He was the first to endure 9 months. My husband if not for his "basic health condition" wouldn't have qualified for this Inner Luken treatment which so far, is saving his life. Nutritional supplements are not a promise of perfect health without any disease or problems. It is a chance for your body to withstand and heal should something attack your health.
Why NeoLife Stress 30?
This is where Stress 30 comes in to the rescue. One Stress 30 packet each day fills in the gaps in our nutritional requirements, giving us what we need to maintain our health and energy under pressure. It strengthens the supports enabling us to rebound from stress, instead of sinking lower and lower into tiredness and ill health.
Stress 30 is the finest nutritional support against stress available today. That may sound like a mouthful, but I think you'll agree, when you consider the facts. A good product invites investigation, so let's break open a box of Stress 30 and take a closer look.
There are 30 packets in a box, and each one is a day's supply. Let's empty out the contents of one packet and see what it contains. We are now looking at severn supplements which are color-keyed for content.
Formula IV Plus
First we want to notice the dark green gelatin capsule and the slender dark green tablet. These are the Formula IV Plus part of the formula. The capsule contains the Tre-en-en Grain Oil Concentrates developed by a team of doctors at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles over 40 yrs ago. It was designed to balance the hormone output of the endocrine glands, and thus prevent chronic fatigue. The grain oils from which these concentrates are derived are essential to our body chemistry, but they are milled away in the refining process because they become rancid quite rapidly on the shelf. Thus the average diet is woefully deficient in these lipids and sterols because of the food processors. NeoLife extracts these oils from wheat, rice and soya in the extract fractions needed by our glands and makes them available in a very concentrated form. Clinical and laboratory studies show a marked increase in endocrine gland function when this formula is used in the diet. The single Formula IV Plus capsule in this packet contains one third MORE of the Tre-en-en Grain Oil Concentrates than the two capsules of the original Formula IV combined.
The green tablet contains a balanced formula of vitamins and minerals from natural sources which complete the Formula IV Plus.
Vitamin E with Selenium
Next in our STress 30 packet we see one light brown tablet containing vitamin E with Selenium.
Vitamin E is particularly helpful for the cardiovascular system. It is useful as an anti-oxidant to keep free radical oxygen from attacking the cells and cholesterol of the blood and turning it into plaque. If unprotected by Vitamin E and other anti-oxidants, this degenerative process continues throughout life, and results in damage to the entire cardiovascular system. Vitamin E also stops in-vein clotting, preventing heart attacks and strokes.
The mineral Selenium works with Vitamin E to help it do a better job. Vitamin E does good things by itself, but with Selenium it does even more to protect us from cardio-vascular disease.
I know there is a company out there promoting Selenium as a cure all to all types of cancers and stage 4 cancers. In general, the only place in the world that is deficient of Selenium is in the Oriental nations, not here in the America's. However, using selenium with Vitamin E, does have it's benefits. It's more about learning what is a marketing hype that could potentially be dangerous. And what is a benefit in combination that has been properly researched and not self claimed.
Chela-Sea Minerals
Now we come to the two black tablets called Chela-Sea Minerals Many common health problems exist because we fail to receive adequate minerals on a daily basis.
Calcium and Magnesium -- Women who are deficient in these minerals are subject to menstrual cramps and irritable disposition in connection with the menstrual cycle (PMS). In the elderly, osteoporosis sets in with brittle bones, bowed back, and sunken jaw.
Potassium -- Low blood levels pose the risk of erratic heart rhythm, or puffy ankles from excess water retention.
Zinc -- Men deficient in zinc develop prostate problems. Infants deficient in zinc do not sleep or eat well. Offensive body and foot odors are another result of zinc deficiency. (If you stink, you need zinc).
The Chela-Sea formula supplies all these minerals in generous, balanced amounts. Chela-Sea Minerals are "chelated" for maximum absorption. That means they are double-coated with protein, making them absorb into the system much more efficiently. The greatest problem with mineral supplementation is poor absorption. Only about 5% to 15% of most ordinary minerals are usable. The rest goes down the drain.
Chela-Sea minerals are absorbed up to 100%. This is a big iimprovement, insuring better health, and a lot more value for your dollar.
Stress B + C Formula
The two dark-red tablets in the Stress-30 pack contain the B+C formula.
B-Complex -- This formula is rich in the natural B vitamins which are especially needed to combat stress. B vitamins are active in providing the body with energy, basically by converting carbohydrates into glucose, which the body "burns" to produce energy. They are vital in the metabolism of fats and proteins. In addition, the B vitamins are necessary for normal functioning of the nervous system, and may be the single most important factor for the health of the nerves. They are essential for muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract, and for health of skin, hair, eyes, mouth and liver.
Vitamin C -- This vitamin is essential to the strength of the immune system and building collagen. A weak immune system leaves us helpless before the common cold, flu, and other viral attacks. lack of collagen is seen in the flattening of the disks in the spinal column, wrinkling of the skin, weakening of the veins and arteries, and many other health problems. The most obvious sign of collagen deficiency is bruising easily. (Note a previous blog, about Skincare and Collagen, you can NOT get collagen from a skincare product. Collagen does not absorb into your skin. Your body must be stimulated to produce collagen.)
Threshold Control -- Stress B+C formula is "threshold controlled." which means it is time-released to give tissue saturation over a several hour period. This ensures complete usage of these water soluble vitamins by preventing wasteful spillage into the urine. When the body can not absorb Vitamin C, we simply pass it out through our urine. Time released, means we can absorb what we take in.
Conclusion
We all have levels of stress in our life. A mother dealing with crying babies, screaming toddlers, and homework school aged children or teenagers testing their boundaries. At a job, the gossip and back biting, the demands of deadlines or sales quota's, the stress of making the dollar and your time stretch to meet all your needs and maybe a few wants as well. When serious illness occurs, it's not only stressful for the person dealing with the illness, cancer, chronic pain, etc. But also stress on the caregiver who tends to the needs, picks up the slack on chores and maybe financially as well. We have stress if we're lower income, trying to make ends meet. We have stress if we're upper income with dealing with all the connected issues that business and success brings. Money isn't happiness, and having money doesn't mean you're without stress. With all the stresses of every person today, it's a miracle we're able to function at all. Help your body cope, consider looking at the link below. Remember, only you are responsible for your own health. You need to educate yourself to make informed choices and not follow what "sounds too good to be true" sales pitches by self proclaimed experts and not supported by recognized medical or scientific research.
