BioSuperfood Teleconference Call

March 21, 2007, Wednesday at 8:30–9:30 PM Eastern Time

This free teleconference call will be focused on the revolutionary animal product, BioPreparation, featuring guest Russell Louie of Optimum Choices, LLC. Russell is the premier distributor of BioPreparation in the world and has the most experience using BioSuperfood/BioPreparation on dogs and cats in the country. His topic this evening will be "STOP Supplementing Symptoms."

Did you know?

  • Glucosamine supplements may impair insulin secretion. Patients with diabetes should be cautious since glucosamine may affect insulin sensitivity or glucose tolerance.
  • Glucosamine supplements pass through your digestive tract and into your bloodstream where yeast live, then they feed on the glucosamine. Thus, glucosamine increases yeast overgrowth and a flare-up of Candida symptoms
  • Did you know that taking digestive enzymes supplements is not entirely holistic and long-term use will create a “lazy” pancreas?

Russell will explain the disadvantages of taking supplements and the advantages of using whole food products instead. He will explain how BioPreparation has holistically helped animals with mast cell tumors, auto-immune disease, arthritis, chronic renal failure (CRF) or chronic kidney disease in cats, hypo- and hyper-thyroid conditions, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and much more. Even if your animal is still young and free of any symptoms, if you want to extend the life of your pet and avoid the expense of common degenerative diseases, you need to attend.

  • Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) is considered holy anointing oil in the Middle East and has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years.

It was believed to possess the frequency of prosperity.

Carrier Oil

Almond oil

Application

Diffuse, directly inhale or add 2-4 drops to bath water. Apply 4 to 6 drops to the wrists, chest, and base of neck, bottom of feet, or along spine in a Raindrop Technique. When using a series of oils, apply ValorTM first and wait 5 to 10 minutes before applying other oils. Dilute 1:15 with vegetable oil for body massage.

Testimonials

Here are some personal testimonials. The names have been left off to protect those with a fragile sense of self (and not still using ValorTM).

  • I was going traveling and was terrified at having to rent a car and find my way around in a strange city. I used ValorTM as soon as I got off the plane and was able to navigate my way around the new city and drive a new rental car with ease (and didn’t get lost).
  • I was called in to the IRS for an audit. I knew I had done nothing wrong and all my books were in order. I bathed myself in ValorTM that morning and confronted the IRS auditing agent with ease and confidence.
  • My son was very close to his grandmother. After she died, I noticed he became more withdrawn and his personality changed. He was less enthusiastic about doing things. I gave him ValorTM to put on his feet everyday and within one week he was back to normal.
  • I introduced a new dog into my multi-dog household. One of my old timers did not adjust well and started peeing all around the house. I used ValorTM and assured him that he was still "top dog" and he was not being replaced. I explained the new dog needed a home and it would be very kindhearted if we welcomed him into our home. The peeing stopped.

Allopathic benefits and holistic marketing hype

by Russell Louie

If it weren't for new diets, one-quarter of the health section in bookstores would be empty. But why are there so many new diets? Is it because none of the old diets worked? Most people think vegetarianism (even if they cannot do it) is the healthiest diet. But did you know some people have developed poor health and immune system problems eating a vegetarian diet? Soy is a hidden ingredient found in many processed foods. Soy is purported to be a healthy alternative food used to extend fast food hamburgers, added to most supermarket breads and found in many dry kibble pet foods, even the premium brands. But research has shown soy is full of toxins and the phytoestrogens in soy can depress the thyroid gland, lower testosterone levels, cause infertility and possibly promote breast cancer. With all this conflicting evidence, what is one to believe?

The issue with all the above conflicting information is that most people are still only looking at short-term benefits and not holistically looking at long-term ramifications. The holistic health movement is still in its infancy even if it is a hot topic in the mainstream media. Every time a study shows the benefits of an isolated supplement or a single active ingredient in fighting a disease, people rush out to buy it. While this is good publicity in getting people to think more about healthy choices it is more like allopathically supplementing the symptoms. The definition of allopathy is the practice of introducing a substance into the body to produce effects different from those produced by the disease under treatment. So, if the body is too hot and a substance is introduced into the body to make it colder, then allopathically one has "cured" the disease. If the body has too little calcium and a product with high calcium content is consumed, then one assumes the calcium deficiency is resolved. The marketing hype on soy milk touts its calcium content. But research shows high levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children. From modern day research we now understand that magnesium and Vitamin D are essential for the assimilation of calcium in the body. Any product or food that has calcium benefits must increase the assimilation of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D synergistically. So, instead of just allopathically looking at calcium content, one needs to holistically look at the total absorption, assimilation and bioavailability of calcium in order to gauge its benefits from the product or food.

We feel the next level in holistic healthcare will come about when people stop evaluating a product's (foods') benefits by just look at the milligrams of each ingredient on the label but by looking at the total usefulness of the product or food to the whole body. Nature did not mean for us to consume pure ascorbic acid to get our daily requirements for Vitamin C. She meant for us to eat whole citrus fruits, vegetables such as broccoli or acerola cherries and rose hips for a whole food source of Vitamin C. And this is being proven now by studies showing that vitamin and antioxidant supplements may actually increase mortality rather than helping people live healthier, longer lives.

Optimum nutrition for people

by Margaret Auld-Louie & Russell Louie

Do you believe these nutritional myths?
  • Vegetarianism is the healthiest way to eat.
  • Soy is a healthy food and a good source of calcium.
  • Salt is bad for our bodies and contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease.

All these myths and other holistic questions are discussed in Optimum Choices' new e-Book, Optimum nutrition for people. Nothing is sacred to the authors. If you have a teenager that thinks being a vegetarian is cool, better read this e-Book immediately before it is too late and your children develop thyroid problems, have lower testosterone levels or develop infertility.

Based on their 75+ years of holistic experience, the authors utilize their scientific degrees to research little known facts about "holistic" choices being advertised in the media. They compare our Standard American Diet (SAD diet) with the traditional diet our ancestors ate. By looking at the nutrient deficient foods we consume today, many answers are brought forth on why we have a health crisis in America today.

But this e-Book is not just a sales attempt to sell you another holistic supplement. As a matter of fact, Optimum Choices does not sell any isolated supplements, herbs, concentrates or extracted products. They do cite sources for healthy whole foods and superfoods as a way of obtaining optimum health. If all their suggestions seem like too much trouble or cost too much money, think about their final parting thought: "Those who cannot find the time and money for health now, will be obliged to find the time and money later for expensive healthcare." The choice is yours.
