In 2003 I was suffering from severe back pain from a degenerated disc and was considering fusion surgery. I understood that this was not a very hopeful procedure, but what else could I do?. One day while watching TV I saw a little report on something called disc replacement. FDA trials had begun. What was this? I hurried to my computer and began researching disc replacement, not yet approved in the US, but done for years in Europe. Soon I was off to Germany and pain free!

Joint or back pain? Use Pain RX a natural anti-inflammatory.

Well not only did this experience end the pain, but it also awakened my curiosity about what else the FDA was keeping from Americans. Over the next few years I discovered that anytime a news reports says “studies are underway and this will be available in years”, it likely means it is already in use outside the US!

Like High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer. No more radiation! Yes, there is a treatment for prostate cancer your doctor won't tell you about.

Now they are also using stem cell treatment for prostate cancer.

Has your doctor done a NMR LipoProfile test to check for cardio vascular disease? Why not?
Recently a cardiologist told me that this is the best non-invasive test to determine your level of vascular disease and risk for heart failure. I’m getting one!

Live Longer!
One of the first health breakthroughs I discovered is Resveratrol. This is the special ingredient found in red wine that has been proven to help people live longer by turning back on the natural process of cell regeneration which shuts down as we age. It seems the FDA is studying this and will have a drug out some day, the ABC news story said. Well I looked carefully at the little bottle of pills the study participant was holding and googled the code on the label and it turns out they are trying to create a synthetic prescription resveratrol. They never mentioned the word Resveratrol or said we can get it now! My research finds that besides helping you maintain a youthful appearance, it can improve circulation, regulate blood pressure, control blood sugar, prevent diabetes, and stop heart disease.

Resveratrol also builds up your body’s defenses against all types of sicknesses and diseases. This product along with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine can work wonders on your system. It has gained a worldwide reputation as a top anti-aging agent and a natural alternative to medicines used to maintain or repair health. My research indicates you should take at least 500mg a day to get any benefits and I have been taking it for a few years now. I am confident this will prove to be a benefit and I will be way ahead of the curve when the revelation hits main stream news.

Understanding the importance of using low-glycemic nutrition, exercise, supplements and hormone optimization is critical to living a longer high quality life.
Besides Resveratrol, calorie reduction is the most well documented technique for extending ones lifespan. While radical calorie reduction is a drastic and difficult process, some of the same results can be obtained with the use of low-calorie or low-glycemic foods. These foods release their calories or sugars into your system slower that typical foods, for most people foods that are low-glycemic will have significant health benefits. Of course fresh vegetables and fruits are on the list, make them a big part of your diet, but you don't have to eliminate all the foods you love. Simply cut your portion size down and substitute some low-glycemic products for your high sugar high carb products.

Try just substituting a low-glycemic snack bar as one of your meals each day and see the results!

Now during my research I also have learned the importance of taking vitamins and supplements to make sure I stay healthy as I get older. The fact that we don’t get enough of certain things in our diet and that our body stops making some things is common knowledge. I am always on the lookout for just what these things are and how to keep up a healthy level of them.
I now take;
Multi-vitamin – everyone should take one
Omega-3 - for lower cholesterol
Vitamin C - for immune system
Vitamin E - for skin health
Gamma E Tocopherol - full range E for arterial health
Vitamin D - for bone health
Beta Carotene - for mind health
DHEA - for hormone balance
Pain RX with Celadrin - natural anti-inflammitory
Glucosamine Chondroitin – for joint health
Hyaluronic Acid - for joint lubrication
Alpha Lipoic Acid – for liver health
Red Yeast Rice plus CoQ-10 - to lower cholesterol
Saw Palmetto - for Prostate health
Milk Thistle - for liver health
These are the basic building blocks we all need, trust me I have done the research, just start taking them now! You can buy all this stuff in health food stores and pay a fortune, or buy them online below and save a bunch of money and time.

Have you heard about Echinacea?
Echinacea stimulates your body's immune system causing increased white blood cells to be produced. These cells are your defense against viruses and bacteria that cause colds, the flu, and infections. This is the active ingredient in the popular Airborne product. If you take Echinacea when you think you may be exposed to an illness your chances of getting sick will be greatly decreased. Also use it when you get sick to decrease symptoms. Read more about Echinacea here. But trust me, just get some and try it. It works!

Feel Better!
Are you having stomach pain, gas, diarrhea, heartburn?
Have you heard about lactose intolerance?
Rarely diagnosed or discussed by doctors is the fact that humans, like animals, only require mothers milk for a short period and are then weaned off. The body naturally stops making the enzyme required to digest this milk (and as we age other enzymes also are depleted). And yet as adult humans we continue to use milk products, we suffer, we consume antacids and wake up at night in pain. Well I’m not giving up my pizza! To see if you are lactose intolerant just drink a big glass of whole milk, if you have stomach pain soon, you are. The simple solution that will eliminate the pain and let you eat what you enjoy is taking the lactase enzyme as you eat the dairy products. You can give up all the dairy products you love or just buy some lactase suplements here, look for Dairy Digest Complete.

Did I mention Testosterone and Vitamin D? Both Hormones, yes Vitamin D is an important hormone!

Well I have a little story about that. A few years back my Dad, then 80, broke his leg. When the surgeon looked at his images and history he first commented that he had little or no bone density and wondered why he was taking a drug that causes this. Well when my dad had his prostate cancer treated, 15 years ago, they started him on a drug to shrink his prostate, can’t recall the drug but suffice to say he took it for the next 15 years even though most doctors had stopped prescribing it. This drug was turning him into a woman, causing osteoporosis and shrinking his penis. He had never been advised to watch his vitamin D or Calcium, let alone Testosterone. Well upon seeing his fate I had my doctor order some lab work. As it turns out my vitamin D was way down as was my Testosterone. I had to take prescription strength D for several months and still am using testosterone cream. All levels are good now and my weight and cholesterol are also coming down.

If you are over 50 get your lab work done, ask them to check your hormones, and D, check the numbers yourself, do the research. Keep your D and other hormones at youthful levels to stay young longer!

Speaking of over 50, did you get your colonoscopy yet? Over 50% of Americans don’t, due to the discomfort and invasiveness of this procedure. Did you know that a much more effective and less invasive test is available? The truth is that a virtual colonoscopy can pick up cancer not only visible on the inside, but flat lesions not detected by visual colonoscopy, and tumors inside the abdominal cavity. And it’s cheaper!
Why has your doctor not told you about this? Insurance companies don’t have it on their approved list. Do the research, get yours done!

Now what about looking better?
Well let’s talk about our skin. There are many expensive products that claim to make us look younger and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Another powerful anti-aging trick for your skin is the Neutrogena healthy skin rejuvenator machine. This little thing will give you a quick facial and remove all the old skin in minutes. You can’t live without one!

Acne? No problem, OK you can buy the ProActive Solutions kit for $40, it really works, but I did the research, what is the secret? Well, it’s just Benzoyl peroxide cleverly marketed with other products. Trust me, buy the Oxy face wash, use your current cleanser in the shower, finish with OXY face wash every day and your acne will be gone in days. Then just use it once a week. Use your current moisturizer if you need one, or sunscreen.

So, rejuvenator machine once a month, Oxy wash if needed. Go out and look great!

Feel better? OK let’s talk about mental health.
Through the years I have always been what they call an underachiever. I didn’t know why (until recently) but I was always told I could do better. I the last few years, with the help of some wonderful books, I have turned this around. The first book was Self Matters by Dr. Phil, he takes you on a journey to discover the damage that was done during your childhood, how these damaging experiences and people started a little voice in your head that keeps reinforcing these false beliefs that you are not as great as you once thought you were as a young child. By doing the exercises in Self Matters you will discover the voice holding you back and learn to change what it is saying. My voice was telling me I was not good enough. I have a brother one year older than me, and growing up he was always better at everything. So I developed an attitude of “why try, I can’t be good at it”. Self Matters taught me that those thoughts are false, I can do many things better than him or anyone else. I repeated that phrase until it replaced the little negative voice. Now I am free to go out and reach my full potential!

The second book that changed my life was A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle. This book is a tough read, it really tests your ability to grasp a different perspective. If you can do it you will learn to turn the little voice in your head off completely! Eckhart refers to all the damage from your past as your pain body, this burden of all these negative and painful experiences weigh you down. With New Earth you learn to free yourself from the control of these inner voices. This is a wonderful experience and you will see and experience the world around you in a very different way.
I do add one caution, your friends and family will begin looking at you strangely and asking why you are so dam happy. Most of the time they will not agree to read the book, or will try and just not get it, so you will have to try to co-exist with these miserable people as best you can.

What about financial health?
Yes, over the years I have learned a few simple truths about money and investing.
First, don’t trust guys in fancy firms who get paid commissions by mutual funds with your money. These guys will have you deep into the stock market just so they can make the commissions. Open a Schwab or Vanguard account and save the commissions!
Second, don’t try to pick stocks! Of course some of your money should be in the market, so buy the whole market using things like the SPY ETF or a low expense total stock market fund.
Third, reduce your exposure to the stock market as you get older.
Fourth, if you are young put at least 15% of your income into an IRA or 401K, if you are not so young, and have not already been doing this put more than 15%!
Now everyone says, “I just can’t afford to save that much”. Then change your lifestyle or make more money so you can. This is not optional!
Everyone needs to learn about managing their money. What is an asset? What does diversification mean? How much should I have invested in the stock market?
First get Money magazine. Anyone can understand their straight forward advise.
Open a Schwab account or a Vanguard account. I have both!
If you really want to understand all this money and asset stuff read Robert Kiyosaki’s books, Cashflow Quadrant first then Rich Dad Poor Dad. These books will teach you the concept of cash flow, savings, assets and about having enough assets to live on the interest some day.

Here it is put simply, while you are working, always have 15% of every paycheck automatically put into your retirement accounts (or make sure someone is doing this, like your employer retirement plan or 401K).
Diversify your money in these accounts based on your age. Diversify means, how much in stocks (the total market or SPY, not individual companies), how much in bonds, how much in cash (money market accounts, CD, other cash accounts). Diversify does not mean buy lots of companies or funds! If all your money is in stocks and stock funds you are not diversified.
Shift the ratio as you approach retirement. In other words, as you approach retirement get out of the stock market! Not entirely, but mostly out.

An idea! Discover how much money you can save by shopping online and put the savings into your IRA.
