Speechless...Elan - supplements

[Guest guest]

Elan,

 

These are the supplements I use and recommend to my clients, and why -

 

1) Plant-based digestive enzymes - http://tinyurl.com/mkwo and/or

http://tinyurl.com/ey8l - these are both excellent choices, and they

both work! (Do the pudding test to make sure your enzymes work - stir

the powder into pudding, and it should liquify the pudding in a minute

or two, and if it doesn't, then they won't work in your body.) I have

tested many brands and these tested to be the best and

quickest-working. They also have " mycopepsin " which is the enzyme

that works in a low pH. So these enzymes work in a huge range of pH,

unlike others like fruit-based or pancreatic-based that work only in a

very narrow range of pH, so if your own personal pH doesn't match the

supplement's pH, then they won't work inside you.

 

The small intestine is alkaline with a pH of about 8 to 8.5. The

stomach is acid with a resting pH of about 5 to 6. These plant

enzymes work in a broad pH range of about 2.5 to 9.

 

Therefore, acidity doesn't harm these enzymes nor does hydrochloric

acid in the stomach. Pancreatic enzymes (comes from an animal source)

will work only in an alkaline pH of about 7.8 to 8.4. This is fine

for people who tend to be too alkaline (most people aren't), but

pancreatic enzymes won't work at all in people who tend to be too

acidic.

 

Papaya enzymes, or fruit-based, are not as effecive as plant enzymes

because papaya works at an optimal temperature of 105 degrees F, which

is warmer than normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees. Bromelian or

pineapple enzymes are even less effective because they work at an

optimal temperature of 130 degrees.

 

Plus - one more good thing about these plant-based enzymes - they are

microblended with a whole food which supplies minerals in the capsule.

Enzymes cannot work without minerals.

 

2) Probiotics - great choices - Acidophilus http://tinyurl.com/24ajq

, Bifidus http://tinyurl.com/26rur , and Spectrabiotic (a full

spectrum of probiotics) http://tinyurl.com/6gzqa -

 

And again - you can test your probiotics to see if they work - stir

them into milk, and it should curdle the milk. And these do work -

because they have a whole food " starter food " (acts as a PREbiotic

that feeds the PRObiotics) microblended right in. These provide the

entire digestive tract with superb probiotic support.

 

I love the Spectrabiotic - it has eight key good bacteria, and was

created through the joint efforts of respected food scientist, the

late Dr. Khem Shahani; and enzyme specialist Viktoras Kulvinskas

(cofounder with Ann Wigmore of the Hippocrates Health Institute and

author of many books). Also contains Jerusalem artichoke, and an

acerola and rose hips blend, which also promote the growth of friendly

bacteria in the digestive tract.

 

3) Micronutrients - best of course to get from organic whole foods -

dark green leafy veggies, and a wide spectrum of deep-colored fruits

and veggies.

 

When you become hungry, your body is asking you to give it 45

essential nutrients (essential means that the body cannot make it -

it has to come from food). The 45 essential nutrients are categorized

as 20 minerals, 15 vitamins, 8 essential amino acids, and 2 essential

fatty acids. These have to come to your body daily from the foods you

are eating - not monthly, not weekly - daily!

 

If a person is on the Standard American Diet (SAD) they will not be

getting these 45 nutrients. Actually, you can eat as healthy as

possible and maybe still not get them because of where the produce is

grown - if it is grown in nutrient-depleted soil, then the produce

won't be nutrient-dense.

 

I recommend a whole food supplement to fill in the gaps - this

nutritional organic whole food blue green algae does have all 45

essential nutrients - naturally occurring. Plus more - chlorophyll,

protein, etc. http://tinyurl.com/g1iz and http://tinyurl.com/iw4k

 

This is all any body needs (human or animal) - plant-based enzymes for

digestion, probiotics for assimilation of nutrients, micronutrients to

help your body run smoothly. Whatever you do, don't put

isolated/synthetic/man-made junk in your body. All you will end up

with is expensive pee.
