for everyone

See the list at the bottom for the SUPPLEMENTS you need to combat each of these health conditions.

Acne/Rosacea:

Whether you are a teenager afflicted with ongoing outbreaks, or a middle-aged woman pestered by premenstrual pimples, you can turn your pores to satin by taking zinc. Why does zinc work so well? Teens often develop acne as a result of marginal deficiencies of the mineral. The second is that zinc acts as an antibacterial. An important point to keep in mind whenever targeting a particular nutrient is to include a multi-mineral formula. Zinc must be balanced with a number of other minerals, especially copper, to be effective.

Suggested supplements are Minerals, Vita Sprout, Borage Oil, Garlic Tabs, Enzyme Ease, and C.

Arthritis/Osteoarthritis:

Researchers consider arthritis and autoimmune disease because the symptoms are caused by the body's immune system attacking its own tissues. Sometimes it's a matter of examining what the body uses to stay healthy. In the case of joints that depend on cartilage, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic Acid is found in all connecting tissues of the body such as ligaments and tendons where it lubricates and helps orient ligament and tendon fibers.

Suggested supplements are Hyaluronic Acid, omega-3, omega-6, B vitamins, vitamins C and E , the amino acid histidine, enzymes, and Minerals in solution.

ADD/ADHD and Autism:
A deficiency of vitamin B6 can cause behavioral symptoms in those with hyperactivity and autism. Researchers in the U.S. have demonstrated that 30 to 60% of autistic children and adults show significant behavioral and other benefits from the administration of large amounts of vitamin B6 and magnesium. Magnesium is important because the body cannot use vitamin B6 without it. Calcium is important to the growth of brain transmitters and will not travel where it should without magnesium.

Suggested supplements are Vita Sprout, Minerals, Folic Acid, Borage Oil, Flax Seed Oil, C, Antioxidants.

Depression:
Depression can have physical causes and antidepressants can be dangerous. People with depression have recurring sadness, crying spells, inability to sleep, loss of interest and motivation.

Suggested protocol would include Vita Sprout, Folic Acid, Vitamin A and Minerals.

Eczema and Psoriasis:
Eczema is described as a common skin inflammation. Its symptoms are redness, itching, small blisters, and a fluid discharge that dries into scales and crusts. It is not a disease unto itself, but a symptom, manifesting itself through the skin, that the body is being irritated by an internal or external source. This is also the definition for an allergic reaction. There are three steps to dealing with it: remove the irritant, remedy a nutritional deficit, and boost the skin's natural immune system.

Suggested supplements are Vita E-400, Borage Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Vita Sprout, C, Minerals.

Hypertension: Sodium and potassium, in the correct ratio, regulate the body's fluid balance, as well as influence the heart's strength. As evidence suggests, a therapeutic diet high in potassium, magnesium and calcium should lower blood pressure.

Suggested supplements are CoQ-10, Minerals, Vita Sprout, Amino Acid, Borage Oil, and Flax Seed Oil.
