In order to keep our prices at the lowest possible level for our loyal customers, Optimum Choices will sell all our remaining stock at the current lower prices. These discounted prices will only last until our current stock is exhausted. After that or on December 1, 2007, whichever comes first, all prices will go up to the new Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price listed above. With the increased retail price, the amount of algae powder per bottle will also increase and the capsule format will change from the current 190 mg, 250-capsule bottle to 290 mg, 180-capsule bottle.
In order to maintain Health Canada NPN licensing, all new batches of
BioSuperfood must reflect the exact specifications of the granted licenses. The
application for licensing started in 2004 had specified a capsule size of 290 mg
and a bottle quantity of 180 capsules. After a long waiting period, the NPN
licenses were finally granted based on this bottle size and capsule format in January 2007.
Therefore, all future
batches of bottles must be identical to the size specified in the application granted.
In other words, the bottle must
contain 180 capsules instead of the current 250 and the capsule size must be the
larger size of 290 mg in contrast to
the current size of 190 mg.
This change in capsule format must be done in order to stay in compliance with
Health Canada's granted license. The new 180-capsule format
will actually contain 52.2 grams of algae powder per bottle instead of 47.5 grams
as in the 250-capsule bottle. This is a
gain of 4.7 grams or 25 additional capsules (190 mg size).
So, the price increase is also accompanied by a corresponding increase in amount
of algae powder in each bottle.
With this new 290 mg size, we suggest one maintains the same frequency of intakes per day while there exist the opportunity to split a capsule in two or three intakes of 100 mg or 145 mg. The BioPreparation capsule size and quantity per bottle are not subject to this licensing and thus will not change at this time. For full details from the manufacturer, read their letter here.
This
teleconference call will be lead by guest, Russell Louie, and will focus on
BAC (Bio-Algae Concentrates) for animals. Russell
has gained valuable experience using BAC with dogs and cats over the last 6
years. Russell will explain how using this
revolutionary whole food product can yield some very amazing, unexpected,
holistic results.

Recently, some municipalities have passed laws banning certain breed dogs. Their
rational is that all dogs of a certain breed are vicious and dangerous to people and
the public must be protected by law. Our philosophy is not to blame the breed of
dog but the lack of training by their owners. It is just as wrong to stereotype
one type or class of people as all being bad. Our guest author this month is
Lorraine May, founder of The Misha May Foundation, a non-profit rescue
organization in Denver.

First of all, most dogs are reactive, not aggressive. Most dogs are frightened,
and therefore, utilize warning behavior to try to make the threat go away.
Aggression, or intent to harm, may follow for a dog with limited options.
Individual dogs have varying degrees of tolerance. There are many things you can
do to increase your dog’s capacity for living a life without threats, as well as
perceived threats.
Whether you agree with the title or not, it does present the issue in a way that focuses on the possibilities of prevention and rehabilitation, rather than inflated statistics and media hysteria. In my years of volunteering at shelters, training and boarding for the public, and rescuing and rehabilitating dogs, I have never once met a dog that I could, without a doubt, say was born aggressive and dangerous. I believe they exist, and I also believe they were bred that way, on purpose, for a destiny other than becoming a pet. I have also met less than a handful of dogs that I believed were not able to be rehabilitated. However, the rehabilitation process is often time consuming, requires advanced skills, and is best executed as a labor of love. Preventing the development of aggressive behavior patterns in a dog is far wiser than trying to modify them later. Tragically, most could have easily been avoided in the first place.
Having said that, only get a puppy if you are truly committed to learning how to raise it right. Many dogs are given away when they reach a size that outweighs the amount of training the owner has invested. Since most dogs resort to aggressive behavior like barking, lunging, growling and biting when they are afraid, it makes sense to minimize threats in their world. To build trust and minimize your dog’s need to be aggressive, try engaging, with your dog of any age, according to the following guidelines.

Provide Guidance—Assume that your child (and some other people) and your dog
will have interactions which one or both of them cannot handle. Be right there
to help.
