On 12/21/09, California State
Public Health Veterinarian, Dr. Ben Sun (916) 552-9744, designated ALL
COUNTIES in California as "rabies areas" for 2010. Under current law, the
Department of Public Health is authorized to require annual rabies
vaccinations in designated "rabies areas," which includes ALL counties in
California for 2010. With the passage of AB2000 as amended on April 5th,
dogs with medical exemptions would be required to be quarantined, which
could be in an off-site pound or facility as determined by the local health
officer, until their medical condition resolves or they are given a rabies
vaccine. This bill is currently in the Senate Rules Committee for
consideration. What this means is that a dog exempt from the canine
anti-rabies vaccination shall be kept quarantined as directed by the
local health officer, until the dog's medical condition has resolved and the
administration of the canine anti-rabies vaccine occurs.

One of the most frequently asked questions
is how many capsules should I take?. Drugs and most supplements have
allopathic studies done to determine the minimum daily requirement
needed, suggested recommended dietary allowance and therapeutic dosage
needed to product results. But whole food products are different, in
that it is not the product doing the "healing" but the body. Since
everybody has a different set of genes, diet, and lifestyle, no one
daily dietary amount will work for everyone (even if they are the same
body type and weight). We
have published general usage guidelines for our whole food products on our Frequently Asked Questions
web page. To show you how helpful the above
online resources (available 24 hours a day) are, go to our BSF-BP FAQ
page. Within the answer, you will find an embedded
Discount Code worth 10% off your next order (this code
cannot be combined with any other discount and will expire soon.
If you order a Starter Pack (three bottles discounted) your total
discount will be 20% off your order.

consider going to these online resources first before contacting us with
a question.
There is a new paradigm or (what I call) holistic truth starting
to overtake what most people today call "holistic". I estimate
about 90% of what the media and mainstream society thinks is
holistic IS NOT. They are simply using Western allopathic
medicine principles with natural products to just
treat the symptoms. Treating symptoms using the Cause and
Effect principle (introduce a substance into the body to produce
an effect) is allopathic medicine. Holistically, we prefer to balance the
body and let the body's natural
ability to heal take care of the symptoms. The problem is,
doctors, veterinarians, healthcare practitioners and the general
public are still using old allopathic principles to evaluate benefits
of holistic products. This is the first in a series of
articles that will explain what we mean. Here is an example.
It has been said that giving or taking Omega oil supplements
before surgery is not advised because they
can cause excessive bleeding. But this is all based
on allopathic suppositions, allopathic studies and hearsay and
therefore DO NOT apply to the Omega oils in Bio-Algae
Concentrates and other whole food products. Whole food products
are NOT supplements. Anytime a claim is made, that a certain nutrient is
an advantage or disadvantage in causing a specific effect in the body, this
only applies to supplements and not whole food products. The simple
difference is that supplements cause effects in the body while whole
food products naturally and holistically balance the whole body and let
the body cause the effect (“healing”) and not the nutrient or product.
It all started when one source observed excessively long
bleeding times and increased incidence of hemorrhagic strokes in
Eskimos and also noted they ate a diet high in Omega oils in the
range of 6.5 grams per day (Linus Pauling Institute). Omega oils
have well-known triglyceride-lowering properties and were shown
to inhibit platelet function in allopathic studies when given in
high therapeutic doses. But according to a recent research
article, Safety considerations with omega-3 fatty acid therapy
by W.S. Harris (American Journal of Cardiology. 2007 Mar
19;99(6A):35C-43C), "...evidence for clinically significant
bleeding reveals that such concerns are unfounded. As such, the
benefits of triglyceride lowering with omega-3 fatty acids more
than outweigh any theoretical risks for increased bleeding."
In another article Can Fish Oil Cause Bleeding Risks? by Craig Weatherby (Vital Choices, June 23, 2008, Issue 220, Vol. 5) he
states, “Recent evidence review finds no evidence that fish oil
promotes unusual bleeding, even when taken with blood thinning
drugs. After an exhaustive search of the medical literature,
they concluded that this watery nostrum – repeated for decades
by physicians and health writers, ad nauseum — is a medical myth
that lacks any credible basis. But when a respected expert in
omega-3s and cardiovascular health scrutinized the medical
literature, he could find no scientific justification for these
concerns.” But even if there were adequate studies proving that
high therapeutic doses 6.5 grams of Omega oil supplements do
cause excessive bleeding, they would not apply to Bio-Algae
Concentrates for the following reason:
Being whole food products, Bio-Algae
Concentrates have a broad base of
over 5,000 individual nutrients but none are in high therapeutic
amounts like supplements. For example, one capsule of
Bio-Algae Concentrates has approximately
0.002523 mg of Omega 3 fatty
acids per capsule. Even if one were to give six capsules per
day, this would only amount to 0.015138 mg. This is
approximately 430,000 times less than the hypothesized 6.5 grams
that supposedly causes excessive bleeding in Eskimos. Any
attempt to extrapolate the cause and effect (as determined by
allopathic studies) of Omega 3 oils from supplements to whole
food products, simply is not valid. Supplements contain high
therapeutic doses of active ingredients, while whole food
products contain low amounts of not just the active ingredients
but also many essential and complementary ingredients Nature
dictated are needed to make the active ingredient work in the
body. This latter fact illustrates another important difference
between whole food products and supplements.
High therapeutic doses of
Vitamin C supplements are known to
upset some people’s stomach, hence the
need for buffered Vitamin
C supplements. But whole food Vitamin C products (such as
oranges) do not need any
buffer ingredients added because Nature already included these
buffer ingredients, as well as a host of other complementary
ingredients needed, such as rutin, bioflavonoids, Vitamin E,
selenium and zinc. The same is true for the Omega oils in algae.
Nature already put Omega 3, 6, 9, ALAs (Alpha-Linolenic Acids),
DGLA (Dihomogamma-Linolenic Acid), DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid),
and rare GLA (its high gamma linoleic acid content is similar to
early mother's milk) and more fatty acids together to make them
all work together in the body. That is why one of the first
benefits pet owners notice after 1-2 weeks on Bio-Algae
Concentrates is
their pet’s coats is softer, silkier and shinier from the
benefits of essential fatty acids in the algae. One does not
need a high therapeutic amount of Omega oils to accomplish this, just a small
whole food amount with all the other complementary essential
fatty acids and nutrients.
The allopathic Cause and Effect principle works for supplements
and drugs but not whole food products. The Cause and Effect
principle assumes the ingredient or product is doing the work
(effect). On the other hand, whole food products supply the
super nutrition to the body, which in turn feeds, energizes and
balances the glands in the brain. When all the glands in the
brain are working in synergy, the body now
starts to use the
remaining super nutrition to feed, energize and balance the rest
of the glands and organs. So, it is the body doing the work, not
the product. This is the new paradigm in holistic health we
frequently talk about and the prime reason Optimum Choices does
not sell any isolated supplements but only whole food products.
There are much more true holistic benefits from using
whole food products
over just supplementing the symptoms with isolated supplements (nutrients).
Whole food products have none of the
side effects or
disadvantages of
supplements. The allopathic world of healthcare is not flat anymore.
Whenever I hear a medical fact or holistic platitude, truism, axiom,
etc. I always ask the following questions:
How do you know that or how did you
come to that conclusion?
What is your source of information
(Google it for scientific references)?
Does this apply to whole food products
or just supplements?
