From a person who was given 3 years to live...

From a mother who used to weigh 187 pounds with a 43-inch waistline.

From various individuals...

Essentially, Herbalife products are not just for losing/gaining/maintaining weight, but they are also being used to improve overall health.

I do not think you need to ask yourself, “Why do I need to be healthy?” We work hard (some of us work almost 24 hours a day... executives???) in order to enjoy life and not to throw our earnings away to pay for the hospital bill or doctor’s fee.

If you love your family, you must SHAPE UP, REDUCE STRESS AND BE HEALTHY before it will be too late.

We all know that stress, poor diet and too much exposure to pollutants can lead to weakened immune system, poor health, obesity and worse, death.

The Herbalife products mentioned below are specifically formulated to provide you with the needed nutrients to achieve a healthy body. You can conquer poor health with the help of Herbalife products.

Like any other dietary supplements, you cannot attain the body that you desire if you continue to live an unhealthy lifestyle. You also need to exercise to maximize the results.

FDA thingy...

Herbalife products met the strict requirements of FDA. The Food and Drug Administration’s role is to ensure that the food and drugs used in the US are safe to use. They can recall dietary supplements (herbal supplements) which are considered (proven) to provide harmful effects to consumers. They cannot recommend or approve these products.

Herbalife products are not used as a treatment or cure for any type of disease. That is why they are called “supplements.” They can only support your health but they cannot cure.

HERBALIFE products ARE EXPENSIVE... Yes, they are, but if you think about it, they become cheaper than paying exorbitant hospital bill and doctor’s fee.

So, if you have decided to change now and become healthy, you may look and peruse the products below.

Best-selling products:

Formula 1 (Nutritional Protein Drink - Shake, I take this once a day as part of the ideal weight maintenance program. I add fresh fruit and ice to make it more palatable). This product is packed with 19 vitamins and minerals, anti-oxidants and fiber. It contains 80 calories and 1 gram of fats. Apart from helping you lose/gain/maintain weight, this product can also help prevent osteoporosis. It is good for the heart.

Formula 2 (Multivitamin Complex) - It has the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs each day. This is ideal for lactating mothers because it is rich in folic acid.

Formula 3 (Personalized Protein Powder or PPP) - It is used to block hunger. It does not cause stomach ulcers, unlike other hunger blocker products.

Fiber and Herb - It gets rid of toxins from the body as it cleanses your intestine. It provides the feeling of fullness. It can also be used to regulate menstruation.

Cell-U-Loss - As the name suggests, it can help remove extra cellulite. It promotes healthy blood circulation.

Fiberbond - It absorbs bad fats and cholesterol and eliminates them from your body. It also gives you the feeling of fullness.

Thermojetics tea (50g and 100g) - Aerobics in a bottle. Why? It promotes sweating. This is good for individuals who dislike performing aerobics. I usually take this in the morning as it increases mental alertness.

Natures Raw Guarana (NRG) - It gives extra strength and increases mental alertness and concentration. Well, you can call it food for the brain. This is advisable for individuals who are always in a stressful situation or travelling. It is good for patients with sinusitis, as well.

Herbalifeline - It promotes healthy heart.

Aloe Vera Concentrate - For healthy digestion. It protects your gums and supports internal cleansing. And I may add, it can help you get a goodnight’s sleep.

Aloe Soothing Gel - It can be used to alleviate acne problem, external hemorrhoids, burns, etc.

There are other products that I am afraid I cannot include in this post as my hands are already getting tired from typing.

So, for further information about what is Herbalife, you may contact me by leaving me a comment, dropping me an email, or calling/texting me via: +63-939-616-9297. We (I am helping my sister-in-law spread the good news about Herbalife) ship orders nationwide.

Herbalife Products: Beneficial in My Father’s Fast Recovery

My father is now using Herbalife Products, specifically Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritional Protein, Herbal Aloe Concentrate, Herbalife Vitamins and Minerals, and Herbalife Cell Complex. He started using them when he was still in the hospital (almost three weeks ago). His nephrologist did not allow him to take these products, especially the Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritional Protein. Her reason was that it could increase his creatinine level, which she was closely monitoring.

However, my brother, whose wife is a distributor of Herbalife products, insisted to try Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritional Protein shake. My father’s health status at that time was frail (and could hardly argue with us).

A day after my father took those Herbalife products, his creatinine fell from 500+ (crucial level) to 250+. Although it was not within the normal range, the value was already acceptable considering my father’s condition (fourth stage renal failure). It is not right for me to say that because of Herbalife products, my father’s creatinine level has decreased significantly. But those products did help in my father’s fast recovery.  

Right now, my father has fully recovered and he is still taking Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritional Protein, Herbal Aloe Concentrate Drink, Herbalife Cell Complex, and Herbalife Vitamins and Minerals.  Even though the prices of these products are not that friendly to the pocket, they are beneficial to one’s health. If only my father did prioritize his health and body before, he could not spend over PHP 100k for his recent hospitalization.  

By the way, I also take Herbal Aloe Concentrate Drink to help me get a goodnight’s sleep. Also, my 1-year old niece is taking Herbalife Formula 1 Nutritional Protein Shake, Wild Berry flavor. She is healthy (and smart I would say).

If you want to try and order some of the Herbalife products or if you simply want to learn more about the brand, you may send me a private message.

Medical Technology in Cancer Management

A diagnosis of cancer is something that nobody wants to hear. Cancer research has led to many promising breakthroughs and information to assist people in disease prevention. In many cases, careful prevention may not stop a cancer diagnosis especially in people with a positive family history of the disease. The American Cancer Society sponsors many opportunities to help with research or raise money to fund finding a cure for cancer.

Cancer prevention by promoting a healthy diet, exercise and a regular checkup is important. The American Cancer Society sponsors research studies where individuals from all backgrounds with no prior history of the disease can help the cause to find a cure or help researchers learn how to prevent the disease. At cancer.org, the American Cancer Society provides a wealth of information about the disease types, prevention and treatment. One such disease described is malignant mesothelioma.

Malignant mesothelioma affects the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity. These cavity linings help protect body organs and allow organs to move freely. Three-fourths of mesothelioma cases start in the chest cavity. A diagnosis of mesothelioma is rare and affects predominantly white males over the age of 65. The primary risk factor is asbestos exposure, after the small asbestos particles enter the lungs and cause changes in cell structure that lead to the disease. Advances in medical technology have allowed physicians to detect this cancer and others at earlier stages.

Medical technology has improved the outcome for patients. A mesothelioma prognosis depends upon when the disease was discovered. Using laboratory investigations to test fluid and tissue physicians can determine abnormal counts early on. Imaging studies offer chest x-rays and CT scans to view the inside of the body. Contrast with CT scans help better outline the body parts so that physicians can see any abnormality, and PET scans provide images to detect cancer or the spread of disease to other areas of the body. For further examination a biopsy might be needed. A needle biopsy detects chest tumors while an endoscopic biopsy looks inside body cavities and spaces. In the case of mesothelioma, a pulmonary function test is used to determine if the lungs are working to capacity.

Cancer management has come a long way over the years, and advances in medical technology have improved the outcome for many patients. Testing and therapy procedures have advanced to reduce the complications and unpleasant conditions as much as possible. Although the war on cancer is a constant battle, the effort required to win is worth the fight.

Causes of Tinnitus

healthhackz.com

My brother-in-law was complaining of him being able to hear his heartbeat through his right ear. Before he went to the ENT, I assumed it was tinnitus. And I was right.

There are many causes of tinnitus. The most obvious and common cause is too much exposure to loud noise. But medications and other diseases can also be culprits of such ear problem. It can also be a symptom of a brain aneurysm or a brain tumor.

There is no exact treatment for tinnitus, unfortunately. But my brother was prescribed some medicines that might be able to alleviate his condition.

Wart Remover-- Is Saliciylic Acid Safe?

Common warts are caused by human papillomavirus infection. They are regarded as contagious. Oftentimes, warts will only affect one part of the body without spreading to other areas.

Warts are annoying and embarrassing. Fortunately, they can be removed using OTC treatments.

Salicylic acid is one of the effective wart remover treatments on the market. It can be in a form of gel, pad, plaster or drop. This type of wart remover is designed to remove all kinds of warts-- be it tiny or big. This medication is a keratolytic agent that dissoves the protein or keratin that makes up the wart and the thick dead skin that covers it.

Salicylic acid as wart remover is safe to use. Although it can cause burning or redness, it does not lead into infection. This treatment is not ideal to be applied on sensitive areas like the face or groin.

How to Strengthen Hair Naturally?

Strengthening hair strands can be done without some sort of medical intervention. B-complex supplement consumption twice a day can do the trick.

Healthy hair can also be accomplished by taking 200 mcg a day of selenium. However, you should not consume this mineral in excess as it can cause hair loss.

Evening primrose oil is also beneficial to the hair by keeping it glowing from inside. This oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid.

Significance of Uric Acid in the blood

The end product of purine (DNA) metabolism is uric acid. This end product is normally excreted through urine. One of the reasons doctors request for a uric acid blood test is to determine the function of the kidneys.

High levels of uric acid in the blood may indicate gout, kidney disease, high protein diets, or alcoholism. Low levels, on the other hand, may imply a liver damage, low-purine diet, or malabsorption.

If you have increased level of uric acid in your blood, you should not conclude that you have kidney disease or liver damage. Instead, you should consult your physician to tackle the reason of the abnormal level of uric acid in your blood.

Understanding Mesothelioma

Families trying to be healthy through a balanced diet and plenty of exercise may fail not because of their lack of information or their lack of effort, but because of their environment.  Where you spend most of your time can have negative effects on your long term health.

Older homes, buildings, and schools may contain a poisonous mineral called asbestos. If inhaled or ingested, asbestos particles collect in the lining of the lungs or stomach, causing a cancer called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma symptoms include shortness of breath and chest heaviness. These signifiers are often misdiagnosed and are latent for 20-50 years, meaning that the cancer has metastasized and that treatment is less effective.  Treatment for mesothelioma is very similar to standard cancer treatment and includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and tumor removal surgery.

If you are experiencing mesothelioma symptoms and may have been exposed to asbestos, it is important that you see a doctor and request a cancer screening. Screenings for mesothelioma include chest x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and PET scans.

Of course, prevention is always better than treatment. Be sure that your home is toxin free. If you suspect asbestos, do not attempt to remove it on your own. Handling asbestos materials can loosen the fibers and increase your risk of mesothelioma.  Instead, keep all persons and pets away from the contaminated material and contact a licensed and trained asbestos abatement professional.

Vampire Disease

Yes, vampires are real. But they are not the same vampires as portrayed in movies or TV series. Rather, it is a rare genetic disorder in which the production of hemoglobin is impaired.

The medical term for vampire disease is porphyria. It has been around for many years but only few individuals know of it. (So, you can safely say that Edward Cullen was just suffering from porphyria and not a real vampire.)  

The following are symptoms of porphyria or vampire disease:

Highly sensitive to sunlight. When a person suffering from porphyria is exposed to the sun, his or her skin disfigures, blackens, ruptures and swells.

The fangs of vampires as seen on TV or a movie are the same fangs you will see when you meet a porphyria patient. Only that they arise because the lips and gums are drawn tight that the teeth will look like fangs.

Some patients with Vampire disease had to drink blood. This was to alleviate anemia, as well as pain. But this remedy has been replaced by injection of blood products.

Yes, vampire disease sufferers loathe garlic because of the chemicals found in said herb that can aggravate the symptoms.

Fortunately, vampire disease is not contagious. So, if you are bitten by a porphyria patient, you will not suffer from this condition.

Essentially, the vampire legend has a basis. However, vampire disease sufferers do not live that long, like Edward Cullen.

Anxiety Remedies without Side Effects

anxietypanichealth.com

If you want to avoid the negative side effects of anti-anxiety medication, you might as well take advantage of the remedies that do not cause adverse reactions to your body.

One of the effective remedies of anxiety is Vitamin B complex. According to herbalists, this natraul remedy is a great stress reliever. If you have insufficient amount of B vitamins in your body, you may suffer from anxiety.

Apart from the B vitamins, the element magnesium is also an anxiety soother. Like B vitamin complex, a deficiency in magnesium can aggravate the effects of stress resulting in anxiousness. Thus, taking of this element may lessen the symptoms of anxiety.

Natural Anti-Histamines or Anti-Allergies

The most common symptoms of hay fever or allergies are itching, runny nose, sneezing and sore eyes.

Anti-allergy medications are available but with known side effects. To avoid adverse reaction, natural anti-histamines may be used, such as:

Nettle. It has anti-histamine that can be obtained from health food shops.

Ginkgo biloba is a great anti-allergy natural treatment as it can cease certain allergy-triggering chemicals.

Apart from its anti-histamine effect, Vitamin C has a substance that controls symptoms of hay fever.

Acne Treatment: Is Overcleansing Good for the Skin?

Before, I thought that cleaning my face more than 3x a day would result in flawless skin. But my dermatologist explained to me that over-cleansing my face could cause acne.

Why?

Over-cleansing the face stimulates the sebaceous gland to produce more oil. He also advised not to use granulated cleanser as it can aggravate the condition.

Truly, too much of something is bad enough.
