Because of our low, mail order,
Internet prices and the amazing demand for our "wholistic"
consulting and
revolutionary products, we limit every inquiry (e-mail and
telephone) to 15 minutes in order to help all those in need.
After the first 15 minutes we charge our normal
consulting
fee. Please make use of all the free resources available 24
hours/day, by clicking on the buttons in the left-hand menu of
every product page (Ingredients, Usage, FAQ, etc.). Thank you in
advance.
Because of all the COVID-19 challenges,
BioSuperfood-f3 for people
is out-of-stock. The manufacturer is expecting new stock of 180-capsule
bottles by the end of July and the 60-capsule bottles by late fall
2020. We apologize for this inconvenience. If you just need good, full-spectrum nutrition
for health maintenance and/or have minor symptoms of imbalance, then
BioSuperfood-f2 should work fine for the short-term. If you have major
symptoms of imbalance, such as an
auto-immune condition, acute infection or unexplained growth, glandular
imbalance, imbalance in the brain or nervous system, a degenerative
condition or a need for the abundant
antioxidants (super nutrition for the brain), then we suggest ordering either all BioPreparation-F3+ or a combination of Core Formula
BioSuperfood-f2 (green
label) and Forté Formula
BioPreparation-F3+ (pink label), according to your needs. While BioPreparation is
manufactured for an animal's digestive tract for maximum benefits, humans
will still get the majority of the antioxidant (super nutrition for the
brain) benefits. If you have any
questions, please
e-mail us your personal needs and we will send you our best holistic
suggestions.
BioPreparation-F2+ is also out-of-stock until the end of July. Try BioSuperfood-f2 or
the advanced formula, BioPreparation-F3+, depending on your pet's needs. If
you have any questions, please
e-mail us your pet's needs and we will send you our best holistic
suggestions.
In July, 2018, the FDA began an investigation
into reports of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in pets eating certain
foods, many "grain-free" labeled, that contained a high proportion of peas,
lentils, other legume seeds (pulses), and/or potatoes in various forms
(whole, flour, protein, etc.) as main ingredients. We have heard that some
large pet food manufacturers and some traditional Western veterinarians are
recommending pet parents avoid "BEG" diets—Boutique companies,
Exotic ingredients or Grain-free diets. Before you panic, read
our truly holistic perspective in previous newsletters:
The pet food recalls continue. The best "wholistic" suggestion to prevent
danger to your pet is — STOP feeding dry kibble dog food. In
our "wholistic" opinion, dry kibble dog food is the least nutritious form of
food to feed a carnivore. Furthermore, a majority of all pet food recalls is
with dry food. Canned food, freeze-dried food and raw food have a much lower
percentage of recalls. For the latest recalls, go to:
In our Western
society we think, if a little of something is good, then getting more is
better. A subsequent corollary of that is, getting even more (the
maximum) of something is best. Here are three holistic examples
disputing that corollary.
Too Many Sweets
My father had a
"sweet tooth" and liked to eat something sweet to end dinner. This must
be the reason why
restaurants
give you something sweet (fortune cookie, candy, orange) when they bring
the check. A little sweetness is OK but too many sweets every night
would be holistically detrimental and a path towards diabetes. Instead
of eating candy, cookies or cake, my mother encouraged us to eat fresh
fruit after dinner. Unfortunately, in our society we tend to go to
extremes, as in all or nothing, which is why diabetes is so prevalent
even among our pets. While eating a little sweet dessert is fine on
occasions, eating daily desserts is not better. Here is another example.
Too Much, Too Fast
To get results
quickly (the fast-food approach), people like to start with the full
amount of a product immediately without thinking about the consequences.
Our bio-algae
concentrates (BAC) product for people, BioSuperfood, comes in small,
size 1 capsules (290 mg). We suggest people start at one capsule/day for
the first 3-5 days and work up to an average 5-6 capsules/day. This is
because BioSuperfood is a very potent and efficient product, and we have
learned that if one takes too much, too fast, they could experience
excessive detoxing symptoms. An ex-college football player, weighing
about 275 pounds, took one capsule and felt great. Then, as
vice-president of sales, he went on a business trip and decided to take
4 capsules the next day to have even more energy. He told me afterwards
he regretted that because he was excusing himself to go to the bathroom
every 2 hours. While a little (1 capsule/day) was good, more (4
capsules/day) was not better. One final example.
Too Much Freedom vs. Liberty
Over the Fourth of
July (Independence Day) weekend I got to thinking about what we
celebrate. The United States was
founded
on the principle of independence from the tyranny of Great Britain's
King George III. We honor and value our independence and liberty. Is
that the same as freedom? Do some people take their freedom to do
anything to the extreme? Freedom represents a total lack of constraint
or the unrestrained ability to fulfill one's desires. While liberty
requires the responsible use of freedom under the rule of law, without
depriving anyone else of their freedom. Along with these liberty rights
come responsibilities. In other words, you must bear the consequences of
your actions as you exercise your freedom. So, if a little freedom is
good, is total freedom better? As children, we think the freedom to do
as we please are one of the greatest benefits in becoming an adult. What
we do not realize as children, is the responsibilities that go with that
freedom. While we do have the freedom to smoke to appear grown-up and
like celebrities, we also have the responsibility to not pollute the air
for others around us (thus the public smoking ban). What about the
freedom to wear or not wear a facemask during this COVID-19 pandemic?
While we do have the freedom to not wear a
mask when we are alone and in our own home, should we have the freedom
to expose others to our germs (being COVID-19 asymptomatic or
presymptomatic) in public if we do not believe in facemasks? What if
everyone's freedom to not wear a facemask meant COVID-19 runs rampant
and kills an estimated 50 million worldwide, with an estimated 675,000
in the United States like the 1918 H1N1 flu pandemic? Is that price
worth total freedom or should we practice our liberty instead?
The
original purpose of a facemask was to protect the wearer from the
COVID-19 germs of others. However, since almost 50% of COVID-19 patients
were infected by asymptomatic or presymptomatic people, we need to look
at masks as infection source control rather than personal protective
equipment (PPE). Recent research does support a mask preventing an
infected (asymptomatic or presymptomatic) person from spreading the
virus. When one changes the focused purpose of a mask, the negative
argument that masks do not work, goes away or is invalid.
So, my holistic thoughts tell me we should
treat facemasks like smoking. One is free to not wear a facemask and
smoke
anywhere they have the freedom to do so, as long as it does not affect
my liberty to breath germ-free and smoke-free air. While a little
individual freedom is good, total freedom is not better if it is
detrimental to the whole of society. We can stop the spread of COVID-19,
without a vaccine, without another lockdown, without shutting down
stores and the economy, if we would stop thinking of our own independent
needs and just think of the other person. We do not have to choose
between killing people or killing the economy. Collectively and
holistically, we can make the world a better place to live.
So, to answer the original question, if
a little is good, is more better? My holistic answer is do
everything in moderation because going to the extremes can have
undesirable consequences.
