IF YOU DON’T LOOK AFTER YOUR HEALTH, HEALTHCARE AND THE GOVERNMENT CERTAINLY WON’T. AVOID MEDICARE AT ALL COST!
The Canadian health care system is changing. Universal health care may not be here for long. In fact, we already see user fees being implemented. We also see cutbacks occurring with many government supported pensions, for example. As a funeral director, I see first hand how bad our health care has become. You may enjoy riches or material gain, but if you don’t have your health those other things won’t matter… It’s time that we all had a look at our health and what we can do, individually, to stay healthy.
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, the average person, to remain in good health, requires five servings of raw fruit and five servings of raw vegetables per day (the individual who has vigorous workouts regularly, needs even more). Few people, including myself ever manage to accomplish this. It interesting, as well, that the Cancer Society does not recommend vitamin supplementation.
Like many of us, I used to think that vitamin pills were a good way to get nutrients that I was missing in my diet. I have since found out that medical research has shown fragmented vitamin supplementation is not that beneficial and can sometimes even be harmful. Vitamin pills are not whole food. Only whole fruits and vegetables have: vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytochemicals that work together in synergy in a way our bodies can recognize and assimilate.
Separating the antioxidant from the natural food source into vitamins can even be toxic. Non water-soluble pills like vitamin E and Beta-Carotene can actually be harmful in a pill form. A ten year study in Finland shows some indication that these vitamin pills may even caused Cancer. Also, the bioavailability (what the body can assimilate) of vitamin pills in general, is low. The liver is put under strain and most of the vitamin ends up exiting the body as waste, never entering the blood stream. This is because the body is not geared for fragmented supplementation. It finds vitamin pills difficult to recognize and assimilate because it is not whole food. Whole fruits and vegetables are irreplaceable. They should also be eaten raw.
The reason why raw fruits and vegetables are particularly important is because it has been determined that they increase antioxidant levels in the blood where cooked vegetables does not accomplish this the same way. Antioxidants are chemicals that fight free radical damage in the body. Free radicals are produced whenever we burn food for energy. We do this just by breathing. The “catch 22″ is that we need oxygen, but at the same time oxygen causes oxidative stress. Free radicals cause sickness, disease, and aging (basically, body breakdown). Any food cooked over 120 Fahrenheit kills all the enzymes (which are the catalysts of our food), so cooked veggies have lesser antioxidant value. Raw fruits and vegetables also contain many phytochemicals, which can only be found in fruits and vegetables in their natural state. Raw fruits and vegetables, therefore, are a necessity. So, how do we get enough of them?
There is a relatively new product available only through independent distribution, called: Juice Plus+. Distribution began in 1997. It is only offered by independent distributors like myself. Juice Plus+ is 17 different fruits and vegetables plus fiber in two capsules. It contains all the vitamins from A to E, and gives you all the different fruits and vegetables your body needs, in the right proportions, so that they can be assimilated into the blood. Personally, this product has increased my stamina when exercising, boosted my immune system enormously, helped my springtime allergies, and given me an increased sense of overall wellness. The difference between Juice Plus+ and it’s “copy cat” products in recent years, is that JP+ is not freeze dried. Freeze drying destroys the enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts that make the product work in the body.
One daily serving of four capsules is equivalent to the vitamin C from four oranges, the beta-carotene from three carrots, and the vitamin E from several servings of spinach. You are actually taking whole food, which replaces vitamin supplementation. The blood plasma level changes for key antioxidants after one month of Juice Plus+ are substantial. JP+ uses a fruit and vegetable dehydration procedure that is similar to that of the Early “Inka” culture, which does not denature the fruits and vegetables. The fruit blend contains: apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, acerola cherries, prunes,dates, and papayas. The vegetable blend contains: carrots, barley, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, oats, spinach, and tomatoes.
Juice Plus+ has recently added the “Vineyard Blend”, which consists of nine different berries. This product for some may be less essential than the fruit and vegetable blend, but it should be noted that berries contain flavonoids (or bioflavonoids) that are exclusive to berries. Flavonoids are antioxidants that combat certain diseases. The Vineyard Blend is another excellent product offered by Juice Plus+.
The renowned American Medical Journal backs Juice Plus+ and that publication rarely makes such claims on consumer products. Juice Plus’s manufacturing technique is a proprietary secret, but uses fully vine ripened, organically grown (no pesticides) fruits and vegetables. No other “copy cat” product can do what Juice Plus+ does, nor do any of them have the science community backing them like JP+. How can you improve on the real thing? Independent studies in several other medical journals like Current Therapeutic, Integrative Medicine, and Nutrition Research, have shown the following changes in blood antioxidant levels after taking Juice Plus+ for 28 days.
Beta-carotene levels up 510% on average.
Alpha-carotene levels up 119% on average.
Lycopene (the red pigment in tomatoes that fights cancer) levels up 2046% on average.
DNA damage down 66% on average.
Many medical professionals and athletes are backing Juice Plus+ and fully recommending it to their athletes and patients. Here are just some of the doctors that are promoting Juice Plus+:
Dr. Mitra Ray (Research Scientist for the American Cancer Society, and former Stanford University Biochemist).
Dr. Richard DeBois (America’s leading infectious disease researcher, specializing in HIV virus, West Georgia Baptist Hospital).
Dr. Barbara Fischer (Member of the North American Board of Anti-Aging, specializing in Women’s Health Issues and a pioneer in “Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy”, she was heard regularly on the “Rafe Mair Show”, CKNW 980, she practices in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada)
Dr. Humbart “Smokey” Santillo (inventor of Juice Plus+, national track and field competitor, and author of several books: Food Enzymes the Missing Link and Intuitive Eating).
Dr. Russell L. Blaylock (Neurosurgeon, Clinical Assistant Professor, University of Jackson)
Dr. Susan Silberstein (Executive Director of CACE- Center for Advancement in Cancer Education)
Dr. Tom Taylor (Chiropractor, Stratham, New Hampshire)
Jack Medina (Former Athletic Director for the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Oakland Raiders, and the Golden State Warriors, American Gymnastics team instructor, physiotherapist, chiropractic liaison, and researcher and founder of “Fitness by Design”).
Juice Plus is not the “end all” supplement that replaces anything else, but it is the building block or ultimate foundation of a healthy and well-balanced routine. It is the “whole food” based product that should be sought after as the most important initial supplement a person can take.
You may order Juice Plus+ by Visa or Mastercard. When You sign up, you sign up for four months at a time, but you are billed only once a month. You will receive all four months of the product sent to you up front. Be sure to take advantage of the “Special Offer” promotion found on this site when ordering. Once on the product, you may be interested to enquire about how you, too, can become a distributor of juice plus and share this product with others and join our team.
Yours in good health,
