For anyone who purchased a previous version, just e-mail us and we will send you a complimentary copy of this latest edition. Our Second Edition contains new information on genetically modified organism (GMO) foods. Why should you be concerned about GMO foods?

Secrets of Longevity e-Book
  1. If you eat at fast food restaurants, you are eating GMO foods...

  2. If you eat non-organic corn, canola or canola oil, Hawaiian papaya, some zucchini, cooked-neck squash, sugar beets or tobacco, you are most likely eating GMO foods...

  3. If you are concerned about getting cancer (Males: 1 in 4, Females: 1 in 5 chance)...

  5. If you eat soy (or soy products) and have thyroid or any glandular imbalances...

        ...you should read this new section in our e-Book.

If you do not think GMO food is an issue, read how...

"a recent judge's ruling prohibits the current sugar beet crop from being planted until the U.S.D.A. reviews the effect of GMO crops could have on other food. This lawsuit was brought by the Center for Food Safety, the Organic Seed Alliance and the Sierra Club."

Raw Dog Food Launch

Do you want your dog to live to be 15-20 years old and still be healthy? What does that desire and Redbud's Raw Dog FoodChipotle Mexican Grill have in common?  The answer is Jim Adams. Jim Adams is a marketing executive who rode the exponential growth of Chipotle Mexican Grill for 11 years. He left the company in 2008. His Chipotle roots schooled Jim in founder Steve Ells' mission to use organic products and naturally raised meat whenever possible and their commitment to growing livestock and produce using responsible, respectful and sustainable techniques. In order to solve his own dog's health challenges, heRedbud's Raw chicken chub stopped feeding the traditional grain-based dry kibble food and started cooking real food for him. Further canine education led him to transition to a raw food diet. Amazingly, his dog lost weight, his allergies lessened, his eyes and ears cleared up and he perked up. Jim decided to translate what he learned about good food at Chipotle's into making real healthy dog food. Redbud's Raw Dog Food was founded with the sincere purpose of helping all dogs achieve great health. The food, named after his dog Red, a long-haired Dachshund, is made from antibiotic-free and hormone-free chicken, ground chicken bone, and organic vegetables and fruit. His food is 80% meat and 20% fruits and vegetables (an ideal ratio for canine carnivores). It comes in frozen 1-pound packages that sell for $5.99.

Redbud's Raw Dog Food was launched this summer and is only available (so far) in the Red from Redbud's Raw Dog FoodDenver area at the local Cherry Creek Farmer's Market. Jim has just started local Denver delivery service. Delivery is FREE with a 10 pound minimum in Denver. Jim has offered our Optimum Choices' clients in Denver special introductory pricing (less than what is advertised on his website). Contact Jim directly at (303) 570-4113 or e-mail Join-Our-Pack and tell him "Optimum Choices sent you", for this special Denver-only pricing. Jim hopes to have national raw dog food distribution set up sometime in the future.

Do Fish Oils Help Alzheimer's?
Good Study, Wrong Conclusion

Here is a good case of 'do not believe it just because you read it in the media.' An article was circulating Omega oil capsulesaround the media during the first week of November entitled, "Fish oil doesn't help Alzheimer's patients." While it was a good study and their final data was accurate, they came to the absolutely wrong conclusion. That is because, like all other research studies, they only evaluated it from a Western medical, allopathic viewpoint using the 'Cause and Effect' principle and not holistically. Based on our holistic perspective, fish oils do help Alzheimer's patients and any other brain disorder or imbalance. Here is how we came to our holistic conclusion.

The study was undertaken by the Oregon Health and Science University because "some smaller, less salmon dinnerrigorous studies suggested that mental decline could be slowed or prevented by eating fish, the main dietary source for omega-3 fatty acids, or supplements such as fish oil pills that contain fatty acids including DHA."   (www.DenverPost.com, 11/03/2010) So they spent $10 million dollars and used DHA (an Omega 3 oil) capsules derived from algae. The study found that the DHA capsules did not slow the mental and physical decline in Alzheimer's patients. We feel this finding is perfectly accurate. We think their conclusion that "fish oils" do not help Alzheimer's patients would be more accurately started as, "fish oil capsules, whose DHA had been extracted from algae, do not help Alzheimer's." Do you see the difference?

The study's conclusion that "fish oils" do not help Alzheimer's is such a broad statement that could include a capsule of Omega 3 oil (DHA only), a capsule of essential fatty acids extracted from fish (containing Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9) and even the whole food fish itself. They make no distinction in the source and therein lies the problem. These is a big difference between getting nutrition from an isolated (often synthetic) supplement and whole foods. Here is proof from a much older study on Vitamin C.

We all learned back in school that Vitamin C helps avoid scurvy. But experiments showed that taking isolated Vitamin C in the form of an ascorbic acid supplement only gets rid of the symptoms of scurvy. When the ascorbic acid supplement is discontinued the symptoms and disease returns. However, if onegreen pepper gets Vitamin C made from an extract of whole green peppers not only do the symptoms disappear but the scurvy is gone when discontinued. Vitamin C in the form of a whole food product contains rutin, bioflavonoids, Vitamin E, selenium and zinc that Nature dictated is needed for Vitamin C to work optimally in our body. All these complementary compounds are present in whole food sources of Vitamin C (for example, green peppers, oranges, rose hips, acerola cherries, algae). By taking only an isolated supplement with just ascorbic acid oranges vs. vitamin Cor by juicing an orange and throwing away the pulp and peel, one is getting only Vitamin C and missing all the above necessary nutrients to make Vitamin C work the way Nature intended. One cannot extrapolate studies using a supplement (pill, capsule or tablet) to include the actual whole food source. A pill is just supplementing the symptoms, while a whole food is activating the body's own natural ability to heal.

Algae are the primary and one of the richest sources of oil on Earth. Just look at these headlines:

One of the first benefits our animal clients notice is how shiny and silky their pet's fur is after starting them on a bio-algae concentrates-type product. Arthritis clients notice how much more flexibility and less pain from inflammation they have after starting BioSuperfood or BioPreparation. We have many clients with seizures who have either decreased their medication or eliminated it altogether and still are  seizure-free. While not rigorous scientific proof, we feel it is because algae is rich in all the Essential Fatty Acids (EFA): the “good fats that heal” including 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. These EFAs are not extracted or derived from algae like the supplement studies use but the whole food algae itself. Most people think fish are the original and best source of Omega oils. Where do the fish get their essential fatty acids? From the algae they get in the water. Fish are a secondary source of essential fatty acids and fish oil supplements (capsules or pill) are a poor tertiary source subject to a concentration of contaminants such as heavy metals, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), dioxins and other pollutants, oxidation and going rancid.

With the exception of the above recent study, fish oils have been shown in other research to:

  1. Produce cardiovascular benefits
  2. Decrease triglycerides and cholesterol
  3. Reduce inflammation from arthritis
  4. Help balance depression and anxiety
  5. Reduce tumor growth
  6. Improve immune function

When looking for a good source of Omega oils for your pet, be wary of pet food manufacturers that tout their food as fortified with Omega oils from flaxseed and flaxseed oil. Pet food manufacturers that use flaxseed and flaxseed oil do so because of the lower costs or simply have not done their nutritional homework on carnivores. While flaxseed and flaxseed oil are a great vegetable source of Omega oils for herbivores and omnivores, carnivores (dogs & cats) do not have the proper enzymes to digest flaxseed (a plant source). Carnivores need to get their Omega oil source from animals bear fishing(fish and prey) and algae itself.

  • Wild animals get algae whenever they drink from a natural body of water, such as a pond, lake or stream.
  • Wild animals get algae whenever they clean the dirt off their fur or clean their paws.
  • Wild animals get algae and essential fatty acids whenever they eat herbivorous prey that has eaten plants, seeds and algae. The prey convert vegetable sources of essential fatty acids into a more usable form for carnivores.

Our domesticated pets have lost their natural source of algae since we feed them tap water and processed foods void of all algae. Remember, do not believe it just because you read it in the media or a "good source of Omega oils" is printed on the label. Think wholistically. Algae are the primary nutritional source of essential fatty acids (Omega oils) for all living plants and creatures. Fish oils from whole food sources (such as whole fish and algae) do nutritionally support the body with such conditions as ADD, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, sciatica, palsy, seizures, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, ALS, AMD and all other brain and nervous system disorders.
