It can be very hard to distinguish one from the other, because it is estimated that up to seventy percent of those diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome can also fall under the guidelines of fibromyalgia and vice versa. Even doctors can become confused, because people with chronic fatigue syndrome have pain associated, which is one of the main symptoms of fibromyalgia. On the reverse those with fibromyalgia have symptoms of fatigue which is a big factor for those afflicted with chronic fatigue syndrome. You can easily see why it might leave some wondering, which is which?

So what are some of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia? This disorder can affect anyone, but most commonly found in middle aged folks, and those with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases can be especially at risk. Fibromyalgia makes you feel tired, we all can feel tired at some time or another, the difference comes in the fact, that even though rested, someone with fibromyalgia still feels tired, causing muscle pain and tenderness to the touch for some places such as the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms and legs. These life changing symptoms can bring on trouble sleeping, morning stiffness, headaches, along with problems thinking and memory.

Those diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome have had a minimum of six months of fatigue, other symptoms include muscle pain, memory problems, headaches, pain in multiple joints, sleep issues, sore throat and tender lymph nodes. This disorder commonly affects women in their 40′s and 50′s, but again anyone can get it and can last for years.

There is one thing that both doctors and their patients affected by either one of these disorders agree, and that is that B-12  and folic acid can help them manage some of their symptoms. Since both disorders can affect mental function, memory and thinking problems in particular. B vitamins and brain function are strong and well documented. It is no wonder many healthcare professionals, both traditional and alternative medicine, along with experts in both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome support the use of B vitamins and folic acid to help in managing their patients symptoms.

If you think you or a loved one has any or all of these symptoms, please see your health care provider to know for sure. If you have been diagnosed with either one of these disorders. Take plenty of high quality B vitamins to help with some of the symptoms.

If you would you like to try a free sample of a high quality B-12 vitamin with folic acid, through our Free Gift of Health, simply fill out the form on the site. Indicate that you would like to try Sublingual B-12 vitamins with folic acid! Simply the very best way to take in these key supplements for maximum effectiveness…

Many of us have not lived very nutritious lifestyles in the past, and as a result, it may be taking its toll on your body and all around health. Is it too late to get started on the right track? Is it too late to improve your nutrient deficient body? Is it too late to make a lasting impression on those you love the most – your family?

In my humble opinion, some of our past lifestyle actions may NOT be resversible. However, we can, and should, have a positive affect on the people closest to us. Even though we may not be able to do anything about the past, we can do some about the future. This includes helping others around us not make the same mistakes.

Mr. Brozos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita, writes about this very subject in his latest Wellness Report. Read his complete report, and judge for yourself.

Are you nutrient deficient? Your parents can partly be to blame by Brozos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita

For the first time in recorded history, children born in North America today are not expected to live as long or as well as their parents. This startling trend may have its roots in the nutrition of our parents or grandparents. The trend continues through our generation. Truly, the “sins of the parents” are visited upon their children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.

How did we get into this predicament and what can we do to change the trend?

Poisonous fruit
Along with the advances in agriculture that reduced famines and starvation, the farming practices of the last century produced some pretty scary trends. For example, food grown in mineral-depleted soil has fewer nutrients to offer us. Food processed for increased storage is further reduced in nutrients. Flavor-enhancing additives, such as refined sugar, further impose a burden on our system. It is as if we are over-taxing our personal health resources and the “deficit spending” of this course is being passed on to our children.

Some scientists recognized this disastrous course 100 years ago. General awareness of the importance of nutrition has increased significantly in the past 50 years. However, commercial and other interests have kept the debate suppressed until recently. A landmark article was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) June 19, 2002. It defined the need for nutrients in disease prevention. Though it was met with resistance, this article clearly opened the door for debate while confirming the truth we have known for a century: A body deprived of nutrients and nurturing will be prone to disease, disability and untimely death.

Further scientific exploration into the link between low nutrient reserves, a shortened lifespan, increased disease and unhealthy children was published that same year in the European Journal of Human Genetics. It clearly detailed the link between poor nutrition in a person and the increase in disease in their children and grandchildren.

The “root” of poor nutrition has erupted into obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases that extend through generations. Habits and practices of 100 years ago are bearing “fruit” in our children!

Solutions
With this knowledge, the discussion around human nutrition has never been more important. We simply must change our habits if we are to change our destiny. For example, we must select food grown in mineral-rich soil and endorse farming practices that support ecology.

We must also discipline ourselves to take our nutrients every day. By doing this, we increase the opportunity for having healthier children. If we are past childbearing, taking our nutrients daily will improve our health and give us the opportunity to “model” responsible behavior for our children and grandchildren. Healthier kids mean a healthier family, a healthy community and even a healthier species.

The power to change the trend is in the choices you make every day.

Wellavoh
Men’s and Women’s Wellavoh (wel-lah voh) is a multi-nutrient complex built upon the science of proper nutrition. Wellavoh is constructed to give you the nutrients you need today to help your body change the trend: the trend toward wellness. It contains the classes of nutrients we need to fill in the gaps left by poor diet and foods grown in nutrient-depleted soil.

Wellavoh is designed for adults and children age 10 and over. Take your nutrients every day and model healthy behavior for your children and grandchildren. Become part of the solution to declining health by making better choices in nourishing and nurturing your body today! ** END of ARTICLE **

Some of you may need a complete overhaul of your lifestyle if you want to live long enough to see your grandchildren. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and less on saturated fats plus the introduction of a more active lifestyle will go a long way. And, nutrient supplementation, to make up for the lack of nutrients in your body, is also a very important health decision.

Before taking any supplements, it’s always best to talk to your doctor or health professional. If that’s been done, and you’re looking for the vitamin and mineral supplements that are right for you, click on the following link to check out TriVita’s Products.

If that is the case, its easy to see why this addiction might be harder to treat than some others. The way to deal with an addiction is to stay away from the behaviour that’s out of control. Alcoholics cant touch alcohol, for example. The idea is to not do it at all until the addiction becomes a thing of the past in fact, for many addicts, they can never indulge in their addictive behaviour again, not even once.

Food addiction, though, that’s obviously impossible. People have to eat theres no getting away from it. That’s why food addiction, though its an addiction to a non-lethal substance, may be the hardest of all to deal with. And that’s also why companies such as TriVita, who produce and market meal replacements for people to use while dieting to lose weight, actually do succeed in helping some people.

The idea behind meal replacements is that you don’t really eat at all for a good part of the day instead, you have a special shake or other product that gives you all the nutrients you need, and stops you from feeling hungry. This works in two ways: first, it controls the calories you take in, because the meal replacements are quite low calorie. Second, it breaks the cycle of addictive behaviour because you’re not really eating. You can get away from the behaviour much as an alcoholic can (and must) get away from alcohol, and that gives you a better chance of breaking the addictive process.

Though most meal replacement plans do recommend that you eat one normal meal per day, some people who are serious about losing weight don’t do even that. That’s precisely how Oprah Winfrey once lost a lot of weight about fifty pounds. She said that she found it easier not to eat at all (subsisting on meal replacement shakes and bars) than to control her eating. When you know that you wont be eating real food at all for a while, it takes the guesswork out of it. Everything becomes very straightforward, and its a fact that many people have lost weight using this method of weight loss.

There are drawbacks, though. For one thing, while a weight loss program is supposed to teach you about how to eat for the rest of your life to establish healthy habits, in other words using meal replacements clearly doesn’t do so. Once you go back to eating real food, you might find that your problems with controlling your food intake are still there. Though you will have lost weight, you are more likely to gain it back if you haven’t learned healthy eating habits.

Also, theres a danger that some people will keep on using the meal replacements for extended periods of time, just because its easier and more convenient. Thought they re designed to give you a minimum level of calories and nutrition, meal replacement bars cannot substitute for real food over an extended period.

However, if you know or suspect that your problem with food resembles an addiction or compulsion, it may be worth your while to think about using meal replacements for a while in order to lose some weight. Try to make the time you spend using them as productive as possible, though. Really come to terms with your past behaviour, and learn what it feels like to be full but not stuffed. Figuring out the answer to these and other aspects of healthy eating will help make your weight loss permanent.

Countless native Americans know the land holds many natural healing secrets, and one such secret is found in the desert, the Sonoran desert to be precise. It’s the Nopal Cactus, featuring it’s most amazing fruit. The robust pinkish color of the fruit gives way to it’s secret, the amazing Betalains. There are 24 known Betalains all of which are essential for human health. Betalains are anti-toxin and anti-inflammatory, we all could use some of that!

There is a leader amongst the Betalains that helps detoxify and it’s called beta xanthine. Beta xanthine is an important friend when it comes to detoxifying your liver and kidneys. Our bodies burn food in order to create energy and build health. As previously mentioned, toxins are on a never ending quest from both the outside elements and inside elements, which in turn hampers the body from doing it’s job effectively.

A key player in creating toxins from within our body is uric acid. Uric acid is excreted by the kidneys, and too much build up of uric acid is poisonous and has been associated with heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, kidney stones and gout. Our kidneys are delicate and easily damaged by dehydration with too much protein, sugar, toxic metals like mercury and toxins like aspirin. Even temperature extremes like heat can affect them.

Our liver neutralizes uric acid with enzymes, and those same enzymes also detoxify many other poisons. Thus improving liver detoxification of uric acid helps in detoxifying other poisons which is a very good thing indeed! If your liver is fatty, sluggish or toxic, chances are you will be unable to complete the detoxification process…Guess what, with the help of our new found friend from the Sonoran Desert, Betalain beta xanthine can help improve your chances of detoxification as it aids by neutralizing toxins such as uric acid, thus increasing liver detoxification enzymes that clean up both outside and inside toxins, and as an added bonus, it may even reduce the shock our kidneys face from excessive heat! Now that’s a win…win!

So drink in the wellness of the Betalain beta xanthine to help protect your precious assets, the liver and kidneys. Helping to detoxify your body, ultimately gaining better overall health!

Get the greatest abundance of all 24 Betalains from the Nopal fruit found in the Sonoran Desert, and find the best source of Betalains in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

Weight loss issues flood our homes every day. We see it on television, on the Internet, in stores, and just about anywhere we go. Dramatic weight loss does not necessarily mean it is unhealthy weight loss. Dramatic weight loss is defined by how it was lost and how long it took to lose the weight. It is a normal human reaction to see famous people in the news who are deemed to have dramatic weight loss, such as Jane Goldman, Tyra Banks, and Miranda Kerr. Dramatic weight loss can be healthy.

There are many ways to lose weight. Once one does lose the weight, it looks like a dramatic weight loss because it is clearly visible. The trick is to keep it healthy. Unhealthy weight loss can detrimentally affect the body, especially the heart. So what are some of the ways that weight loss is possible?

Weight loss surgery is one of the latest “fads” to hit the media. The famed lapband is the now a popular way to loss weight through surgery. Other options for weight loss include:
Zerona
Liposuction
Laser Lipolysis
SlimLipo
SmartLipo

Even though these methods may be effective and immediate slimming is visible, risks are associated with them and they should be considered as a last resort. Losing weight takes time and should be taken slowly. Realistic goals are the most effective for losing weight and finding the right support system. Dramatic weight loss takes time, effort, and hard work. There are a few steps to follow for health and wellness weight loss. First is goal setting. The second is to find a diet buddy. The third is to find the right diet. Not every diet out there is the “right one” for everyone. You may have to try on a few before finding on that really works. Dramatic weight loss can then begin.

For those who are really enthusiastic and stick to their goals of dramatic weight loss, consider losing 10% of your total body weight in 3-4 months time. This should then equal about 20% weight loss in a year. Most people will lose about 5% in 3-4 months and 10% over the course of a year. Healthy and wellness weight loss is the key word here. Compare pictures of before and after and you will see a dramatic weight loss and you too can be one of the stars who have a dramatic and slender new body.

Megaloblastic anemia – due to vitamin B12 deficiency

Vitamin B12 deficiency is a cause of megaloblastic anemia. In this type of anemia, red blood cells are larger than normal and the ratio of nucleus size to cell cytoplasm is increased. There are other potential causes of megaloblastic anemia, including folate deficiency or various inborn metabolic disorders. If the cause is B12 deficiency, then treatment with B12 is the standard approach. Patients with anemia should be evaluated by a physician in order to diagnose and address the underlying cause. Grade A

Vitamin B12 deficiency

Studies have shown that a deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to abnormal neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. These symptoms may include: ataxia (shaky movements and unsteady gait), muscle weakness, spasticity, incontinence, hypotension (low blood pressure), vision problems, dementia, psychoses, and mood disturbances. Researchers report that these symptoms may occur when vitamin B12 levels are just slightly lower than normal and are considerably above the levels normally associated with anemia. People at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency include strict vegetarians, elderly people, and people with increased vitamin B12 requirements associated with pregnancy, thyrotoxicosis, hemolytic anemia, hemorrhage, malignancy, liver or kidney disease.Administering vitamin B12 orally, intramuscularly, or intranasally is effective for preventing and treating dietary vitamin B12 deficiency. Grade A

Pernicious anemia

Pernicious anemia (blood abnormality) is a form of anemia that occurs when there is an absence of intrinsic factor, a substance normally present in the stomach. Vitamin B12 binds with intrinsic factor before it is absorbed and used by the body. An absence of intrinsic factor prevents normal absorption of B12 and may result in pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia treatment is usually lifelong; supplemental vitamin B12 given intramuscularly, intranasally, or by mouth. Grade A

Alzheimer’s disease

Some patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease have been found to have abnormally low vitamin B12 levels in their blood. However, vitamin B12 deficiency itself often causes disorientation and confusion and thus mimics some of the prominent symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Well-designed clinical trials are needed before a strong recommendation can be made. Grade C

Angioplasty

Some evidence suggests that folic acid plus vitamin B12 and pyridoxine daily can decrease the rate of restenosis in patients treated with balloon angioplasty. But this combination does not seem to be as effective for reducing restenosis in patients after coronary stenting. Due to the lack of evidence of benefit and potential for harm, this combination of vitamins should not be recommended for patients receiving coronary stents. Grade C

Breast cancer

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University report that women with breast cancer tend to have lower vitamin B12 levels in their blood serum than do women without breast cancer. In a subsequent review of these findings, it was hypothesized that vitamin B12 deficiency may lead to breast cancer because it could result in less folate being available to ensure proper DNA replication and repair. Higher dietary folate intake is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. The risk may be further reduced in women who also consume high amounts of dietary vitamin B12 in combination with dietary pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and methionine. However, there is no evidence that dietary vitamin B12 alone reduces the risk of breast cancer. Grade C

*Key to grades
A: Strong scientific evidence for this use;
B: Good scientific evidence for this use;
C: Unclear scientific evidence for this use;
D: Fair scientific evidence against this use;
F: Strong scientific evidence against this use.

Nopalea – the new health solution for today’s unhealthy world.

1. Today’s world relentlessly threatens your body’s health

Every day brings new waves of toxins, pollutants, bacteria, viruses and chemicals into your body from the air you breathe, the water you drink, the foods you eat and even the things you touch. Furthermore, your body’s health is also undermined by emotional stress, nutritionally deficient diets, metabolic wastes and physical injuries and trauma.

2. Your body responds to health threats with inflammation.

When your body is subject to threatening elements or events, it counters these attacks with the defense mechanism of inflammation.

3. But inflammation can be very dangerous

Inflammation doesn’t just happen in your muscles and joints. It also happens everywhere else throughout your body, wherever your cells are being stressed or attacked. So, right now, as you read this, you could be suffering from any of these kinds of inflammation and their related health problems:

* Muscle, joint and bone inflammation – causing ongoing body pain
* Pulmonary inflammation – causing allergies and asthmatic reactions
* Arterial inflammation – causing high blood pressure
* Digestive tract inflammation – causing ulcers and IBS
* Widespread body cell inflammation – causing overall tiredness

When toxins assault your system—or when injury or infection strikes—your body responds with a complex biological process commonly referred to as inflammation. . If this inflammation goes unchecked, it can lead to a wide variety of disorders, from stroke to arthritis to heart disease.

Nopalea defends your body against dangerous toxins that threaten cellular health, lead to inflammation and trigger a whole host of diseases. Here’s how it can help the body thrive.

Nopalea specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly.1 Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

Protect against premature aging

Your skin is a miraculous covering that protects you from harm. Pollution, toxins, radiation and other potentially damaging influences are kept out of your body by your skin; vital organs are protected inside. One of the first signs of aging is thin, sagging, withered skin that is easily damaged.

Nopalea rushes to these damaged areas to shore up your protective layer. The betalains in Nopalea fill in the gaps of your cells (including the cells in your skin) and return them to the firm, robust nature of young cells — at any age. By providing a healthy environment for the cell, betalains keep it from withering.

More health benefits

Want even more reasons to drink Nopalea? Scientific research shows that Nopalea also helps the body to:
* Increase energy
* Boost the immune system
* Protect against fluid retention
* Neutralize free radicals
