Probiotic
Probiotic formulation is a carefully mixed selection of microorganisms that are friendly to the human GI tract. The organisms in this product will help stabilize and maintain a healthy intestinal probiotic ecosystem1. *

Balanced Probiotic supplementation and support constitutes good management of GI tract health and could also contribute to health beyond the digestive system. *
The common benefits of friendly bacteria include:*
Digestion of some of the food macromolecules and enhanced absorption of nutrients*
Conversion of some macromolecules into short-chain fatty acids that could be used by the enterocytes for energy and other metabolic needs*
Control of colonic pH to prevent pathogenic bacterial growth*
Utilization of ammonia generated in the GI tract and reduction of the levels that are absorbed in blood circulation, thus controlling the onset of hepatic encephalopathy*
Conversion of intestinal nitrogen into microbial protein, which could ultimately supply needed amino acids to the host*
Synthesis of various other beneficial enzymes in the GI tract*
Synthesis of various vitamins*
Synthesis of bacteriocins (endogenous bacterial antibiotics) to control proliferation of competing bacteria*
Control of the synthesis of various mutagens and oncogenic metabolites*
May assist with the diarrhea episodes that result from various bacteria or viruses*
May assist with gastroenteritis and other GI tract inflammations and disorders*
Softens stool *
Probiotic ingredients:
The value of the “friendly bacteria” normally found in the human digestive tract (such as L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. salivarius, L. sporogenes, and B. longum) is of upmost importance. For instance, L. plantarum is actually used to improve the microbial safety of foods. This usage comes from their secretion of “bacteriocins” (proteins that are lethal to certain other bacteria)2. L. plantarum has also been found to pevent the movement of bacteria from the gut to other organs (e.g., liver, lymph nodes)3 in animal models. *

Oral supplementation with L. acidophilus can enhance the body’s anti-infective mechanisms of defense4. Research has suggested how stimulation of the production of interleukin-1 alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha is one mechanism that shows the beneficial effects of swallowing L. acidophilus. These substances have potent cytocidal and cytostatic effects on tumor cells5.*

The mechanisms of immune support provided by B. longum have been widely studied in animal models. It has been found that B. longum stimulates the immune system by enhancing the activity of natural killer cells in the spleen of rats6 and by stimulating intestinal IgA production7.*

The immunostimulatory effect of L. casei has been demonstrated in human subjects. These beneficial bacteria promote the immunological barrier of the gut by the intestinal secretion of IgA.*
L. sporogenes is a very resilient organism. It can sustain various conditions of the GI tract and can also help to control pathogenic organisms. This bacteria is readily activated by gastric acid and then migrates down the GI tract, producing lactic acid and various bacteriocins.*
L. salivarius is a very resilient and highly prolific bacteria. Its actions reduce the production of toxic amines. These organisms produce highly active proteolytic enzymes that enhance the hydrolysis of proteinaceous compounds in the colon.*
TPPTM Probiotic also contains lactoferrin, which is currently the object of considerable study. Lactoferrin has been shown to be an effective antibacterial agent. It is even found in tears, where it serves as one component of the outer eye’s defense8. Supplementation with lactoferrin has been found to inhibit bacterial translocation from the digestive tract to other organs and systems. This is probably due to its suppression of bacterial overgrowth9.*

Jerusalem Artichoke is rich in inulin, which is a polymer of fructose (also called fructooligosaccharides (FOS). It has been shown how FOS can serve as a source of effective nutrients for intestinal probiotic bacteria. This activity is sometimes called ‘prebiotic’ because normal human digestive enzymes are unable to digest FOS, and so it therefore passes in its whole state into the colon, where it becomes available as a nutrient to “friendly” bacteria10.*

Where are You Going in 2010?
This is something we all need to ask of ourselves. When 2010 ends where will we be? How will we get there? WHY do we want to be there?
Some of us want more money? WHY?
Some of us want a bigger house? WHY?
Some of us want to quit our jobs? WHY?
Some of us want _ _ _ _ ? WHY?
As we look forward discover what you want then ask yourself why and write it all down.
Set aside some serious time to reflect on 2009 and plan 2010!
"Fail to Plan is a Plan to Fail"

The BEST Ionic Silver On The Market
Q. Everybody’s talking about “ionic silver solution,” so I went to Google, did some research, and discovered so many amazing stories. Now I’m ready to try it for myself! My question is, which product is best? There are so many to choose from. How do I know I’m getting the one that’s right for me.
We hear that question a lot! As interest in ionic silver solution increases, and the number of options grows, more and more people are scrutinizing the products out there, looking for the one that offers the highest quality ingredients and manufacturing standards.
And what do they find? IS Defense from Vitamark, the most advanced ionic silver solution on the market. IS Defense is a Premium Ionic Silver Solution intended as a nutritional supplement to be used on daily basis. When used as instructed, it is believed to enhance the immune system.* And it’s the only solution supercharged with oxygen during the manufacturing process.
The purest ingredients
What’s inside a bottle of IS Defense? Pure goodness. Fine silver, assayed at .996 purity.
Mountain spring water from a captured artesian well in North Carolina. Ozone that reverts to oxygen within twenty-four hours of bottling, to achieve supercharged oxygen enrichment. Pure nitrogen to replace ambient air in the bottle, reducing the possibility of airborne contaminants.
Here’s why IS Defense is your best choice: We take great care to source the purest ingredients—and to make sure they stay pure throughout the manufacturing process, right up to the moment you open the bottle!
The highest manufacturing standards
This level of quality demands the highest manufacturing standards. Throughout the ion generation process, we constantly monitor the solution’s silver content, maintaining our target level of 5 to 5.5 parts per million. Our test equipment is carefully calibrated to FDA standards, with built-in redundancy to ensure not a single bottle slips through the cracks.
Before filling, each bottle is washed and flooded with ozone to guarantee sterilization. Once the solution is bottled, we add pure nitrogen before capping. The nitrogen expands, pressurizing the bottle, which prevents ambient air infiltration.
The most remarkable results
IS Defense is the result of more than a decade of scientific research into ionic silver solution, finally culminating in a solution that is over 95% ionic and less than 5% colloid. Tests at the University of Georgia demonstrated the product’s efficacy.
During the tests, conducted in the School of Veterinary Medicine’s Microbiology Lab, challenges were successfully performed on several pathogens with silver content as low as 1.5 parts per million of ionic silver solution.
Meet the Scientist Behind IS DefenseB. J. Biagioli, NMD
Dr. B. J. Biagioli is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor with additional degrees in Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, and a Masters Degree in Electronics Engineering from MIT. He is an acknowledged leader in Alternative Medicine equipment design.
Dr. Biagioli first became interested in medical equipment when he designed biomedical equipment for the Mercury Space Program in 1960. The following years saw the development of many breakthrough medical devices and the follow-on production and marketing of them. After suffering a serious burn in 1974, he was treated with Silvadine®, a product that used Silver in it’s make-up. Impressed with the results of Silvadine®, he began a search for more information about using silver in healing.
IS Defense is the culmination of years of study and research by Dr. Biagioli and a team of engineers and chemists he formed in 1994. Equipment for medical use developed and produced by him has led the field for decades, but he considers his Premium Ionic Silver Solution to be his crowning achievement!

Sunjing - Charlatanry or Miracle Medicine
Dr. R. Reithmair, Emergency Room Surgeon, Head Doctor, Freyung Hospital, Germany
Freyung, 03-06-2001
Sunjing - Charlatanry or Miracle Medicine
Sunjing is a mixture of essential oils without the addition of stabilizers or Alcohol. Therefore it can be applied to mucous membranes, as well as open wounds. Between January 1st and December 31st, 2000, Sunjing was tested in the Emergency Room Surgery Department at Freyung Hospital on over 1000 patients. Parallel to this, a study was performed with female Ice skating athletes. The resulting success was overwhelming.
Application in the Emergency Room:
Upon arrival in the Emergency Room, 384 patients’ injuries including simple bone fractures, bruises, skin abrasions and contusions were immediately treated with Sunjing. Only a few drops of the product were needed. Nearly all 384 patients reported immediate pain relief. Chemical Analgesics were almost unnecessary. In most patients, swelling was almost completely prevented. With the exception of bone fractures, the recovery time was shortened by ca. 6 Days. Bruises, contusions and muscle strains could be treated early the next day without the use of pain medicines.
Application after Surgery:
Overall, 1240 patients were included in the study while, naturally difficult and large operations, who required assisted breathing in the Intensive Care Unit, were omitted from the study. In small or moderate operations, Sunjing was used with 620 patients, whereas the other group of 620 patients did not receive the product. In all comparable operations, there is evidence of a reduction in the usage of chemical analgesics. In small operations Sunjing sufficed as the only application to relieve pain completely.
In moderate operations, the usage of pain medicine was reduced by 30% in the first day, by 60% on the second day and on the third day, in comparison to the control group, no analgesics were necessary. On the other hand, the control group had to receive 30 drops of Metamizol until the fifth day. The most noticeable effect of Sunjing was with children. 98 Children were included in a controlled study during treatments for ligament hernia and appendix operations. All 98 children did not require analgesics after their operation.
Application with female Athletes:
When Sunjing is applied immediately after contusions and sprains, training excercises can be continued and later effects, that would lead to cancellation of training exercises, such as swelling and pain can be prevented. After application to pressure points on feet, Sunjing works very effectively so that the Athletes can resume training exercises the next day. Twice, we treated a, verified through sonograph, muscle fiber tear with Sunjing . The breakdown time of these Athletes lasted for two days. One of these athletes successfully participated in a competition 10 days after her muscle fiber tear. After long training sessions or overexhaustion, Sunjing was applied to the affected muscle groups. Therefore, rehabilitation time was so short, that these athletes were able to resume their training exercise schedule the very next day. Usage of the regeneration phase was much better utilized by the athletes. Upon continuation of their exercises, the athletes’ physical condition was rated good to very good. None of the Athletes had to extend their regeneration phase.
During constant application of Sunjing for Inhalation, where 2 drops under each nostril-twice a day is seen as sufficient, an overall improvement in health stability is observed. 30% of the female athletes that utilized inhalation did not contract a flu or other illness that would otherwise have interrupted their training exercises. Inhalation of Sunjing reduces the swelling of nasal mucous glands and opens airways, so that the feared anaerobic metabolism, that normally occurs during a 3 minute high performance excercise, could be reduced considerably. Thus at the end of a 3 minute free excercise, none of the female athletes complained of oxygen restriction. Therefore Sunjing is a purely natural product and will never appear on a doping list.
Sunjing is a mixture of essential Oils without the addition of Stabilizers or Alcohol. It can therefore be applied to mucous tissues and open wounds, as well as bruises. Local application yields faster reduction of swelling and faster healing, thus chemical analgesics and pain medicines are not necessary. There is improvement in the healing of wounds and accelerated regeneration time with female athletes. Muscle, joint and ligament pain were successfully treated with Sunjing. Reduced swelling of air passages with improved oxygen intake in female athletes is an important advantage.
