This vitamin provides a blend of the highest quality antioxidants that are known to fight cancer, joint inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. It also has a blend of the most effective weight loss aids on the market today.
Resveratrol is Derived from the grapes of wine and Japanese Knotweed, got very interesting for the science community back in the eighties due to the extreme low cases of coronary heart diseases found amongst French people, compared to any country in the world. Resveratrol is also thought to have blood sugar lowering properties.
The Maqui is the highest antioxidant value of any known fruit. It helps to support healthy inflammatory functions, and healthy aging. Maqui has been used in traditional native medicine by the Mapuche Indians to treat inflammations, sore throat, diarrhea, ulcers and fever. It has also been used to increase strength and stamina.
This supplement also contains green tea and grapeseed extract which has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti cancerous and anti-microbial activity.
The secret of green tea lies in the catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This substance is a powerful anti-oxidant which means that it inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It is proven that it is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences report green tea polyphenols contains 51 phytonutrients that support a healthy inflammatory response.*
Acai Berries
Have been used by Indians in the rainforest for centuries for the treatment of diarrhea, fever, muscle pain, menstrual pain, jaundice, liver and kidney diseases. The health industry got very interested in Acai due to its weight loss abilities and because of the very high value of antioxidants which is one of the highest ever seen. It is recorded at a value of 102,700 per 100 g antioxidants against Peroxyl radicals, determined from both hydrophilic and lipophilic sources.
Grapeseed extract is prescribed by doctors in Europe for a variety of vascular disorders, collagen damage, water retention and arthritis. Grape seed extract also helps to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of leg cramps, varicose veins, diabetes, and numbness in the extremities
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Scientists first discovered the ALA compound in bacteria back in 1937. At one time scientists believed ALA was a vitamin -- substances the body needs, but can't produce on its own. But in 1998, it was identified as an antioxidant crucial to energy production in the body. It is also thought to regulate blood sugar[source: American Cancer Society)
Overall this supplement:
A potent antioxidant that helps prevent free radical damage which can lead to premature aging of cells
Contains cholesterol lowering ingredients like green tea, lutein, lycopene, grapeseed extract, and resveratrol
Recently, a great number of plant-derived substances have been evaluated as possible inhibitors of the NF-kappaB pathway. NF-kappaB represents an important and very attractive therapeutic target for drugs to treat many inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, asthma, and the auto-immune diseases, most attention has been paid in the last decade to the identification of compounds that selectively interfere with this pathway. This supplement contains natural NF-kB inhibitors:, contains green tea, resveratrol, vitamins A, C, E
Contains natural COX 2 inhibitors (pain medicine). Celebrex is a prescription COX-2 inhibitor. This supplement contains Vitamins A and E, Resveratrol, and Green Tea are natural COX-2 inhibitors and provide some relief from menstrual cramps and joint pain. This is a great supplement for people who are trying to decrease their usage of prescription pain medications, or who need to avoid the complications of prescription pain medications.
For Lupus patients, people who are ANA positive, or people with rheumatoid arthritis: It contains Vitamins A and E. These vitamins may help prevent cell damage that leads to joint pain. The active ingredient in green tea, polyphenol, may have anti-inflammatory properties that can be helpful in lupus; some research has been done to support the use of green tea as a natural anti-inflammatory. Alpha lipoic acid and citrus bioflavonoids benefit those with inflammation and can provide positive results with inflammatory conditions. I have recommended this supplement for my patients with bursitis, arthritis, fibromyalgia and other inflammatory conditions, and they have reported improvement with those conditions.
What is the ORAC value?
To determine what makes a fruit, berry or a spice high in antioxidant, we have to figure out its ORAC value compared to other fruits, berries or spices. The ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a measuring of the antioxidant capacity of different foods and supplements, developed by scientists at the National Institutes of Health. The higher ORAC value, the better the food or supplement is to break down and slow down the oxidative processes and free radical damage that can contribute to age related diseases and degeneration.
There are 4 main ingredients that make it a strong antioxidant supplement. The recommended daily ORAC is 3000-5000 per day. This has been ORAC tested by Brunswick labs and contains 1318 per capsule.
The recommended dose is 1-3 capsules daily. It would take a couple of weeks to notice an effect.

Green Cell Therapy uses
Greens are good, Green Superfoods are even better! Green superfoods have the highest concentrations of easily digestible nutrients, fat burning compounds, vitamins and minerals to protect and heal the body. They contain a wide array of beneficial substances including proteins, protective photo-chemicals and healthy bacteria helping you to build cleaner muscles and tissues, aid your digestive system function and more effectively protect you against disease and illness.
Green superfoods are extremely rich in chlorophyll - the pigment that gives plants their green color. The molecular structure of chlorophyll is very similar to that of human blood and studies show that when this is consumed, the production of hemoglobin in blood is increased. Higher amounts of hemoglobin in the bloodstream means more oxygen-rich blood, the first and most important element that cells need to thrive.
32 Powerfully Detoxifying Compounds To Help Keep You Free Of Disease and Prescription Drugs
Ingredients: Wheat grass juice powder, barley grass juice powder, chlorella, Co Q10, Carrot Juice powder, Beet juice powder, Parsley Leaf powder, Kale juice powder, Grape Seed Extract, Milk Thistle Seed Extract, Lycopene, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Quercetin, Dandelion Powder, Spinach Powder, Blue Green Algae, Bee Pollen Powder, Aloe Vera Powder, Flax Seed Powder, Lecithin, Green Tea Extract, Astralagus, Royal Jelly, Brown Rice Bran, Lipase, Lactase, Amylase, Protease, Bifidobacterium Longum, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
Wheat grass - Wheat grass is the sprouted grass of a wheat seed. Unlike the whole grain, because it has been sprouted, it no longer contains gluten or other common allergic agents. Wheat grass is super alkalizing and is excellent for promoting healthy blood. It normalizes the thyroid gland to stimulate metabolism thus assisting digestion and promoting weight loss due also to its high enzyme content and cleansing effect.
Barley grass - Barley grass has 11 times more calcium than cows milk, 5 times more iron than spinach and 7 times more Vitamin C and bio-flavonoids than orange juice. It contains significant amounts of Vitamin B12 which is very important in a vegetarian diet. Barley grass juice has anti-viral activities and neutralizes heavy metals such as mercury in the blood.
Chlorella - Chlorella is a fresh water algae and like its other algae cousins contains a complete protein profile, all the B vitamins, vitamin C and E and many minerals. It is amazing for the immune system and for reducing cholesterol and preventing the hardening of the arteries, a precursor to heart attacks and strokes.
Green leafy vegetables - Green leafy vegetables are so readily available and so highly nutritious, however most people do not eat enough of them. Studies continuously confirm that populations that eat a diet high in green leafy vegetables run a far lower risk of heart disease and cancer. Fresh raw green leafy vegetables contain high doses of chlorophyll, easily digestible proteins, enzymes and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. These particular vegetables act as mini-transfusions for the blood, a health tonic for the brain and immune system and a cleanser of the kidneys. This contains the following: spinach, dandelion greens, kale, and parsley.
Bee Pollen - Bee pollen is collected by bees from flowering plants and formed into granules. Bee pollen is the most complete food found in nature and has five to seven times more protein than beef. It is especially beneficial for the extra nutritional and energy needs of athletes and those recovering from illness. It is a natural antidote for fighting allergies particulary hayfever and sinusitus. Research shows that pollen counteracts the signs of aging and increases both mental and physical capability.

Natural help for the Herpes Virus
Do you suffer from frequent cold sores? Herpes Zoster? Shingles? Genital herpes.
The term herpes generally refers to a sexually-transmitted, double-stranded DNA virus, called herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2. This virus is closely related to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which is the cause of common nonsexually-transmitted cold sores. These two viruses are among the eight members of the herpes virus family to infect humans, causing a variety of illnesses ranging from cold sores to brain infection (encephalitis) to chickenpox to various cancers.
A significant number of medical institutions place the incidence of oral herpes (HSV-1), which is commonly called cold sores, between 50 and 80 percent among the American population in the fifth decade of life.
Whereas the incidence of genital herpes (HSV-2) in the US is estimated to be between 25 and 30 percent or about one in four adults.
Currently, there is no cure for herpes, or treatment that can eradicate herpes virus from the body at reactivations of the virus.
Non-prescription analgesics can reduce pain and fever during initial outbreaks. There are several prescription antiviral medications for controlling herpes outbreaks, including aciclovir (Zovirax), valaciclovir (Valtrex), and famciclovir (Famvir).
Since there is no current cure for herpes, almost all of the medications available for treating herpes has been geared towards handling outbreaks and trying to maximize the amount of time between them. There are, however, many natural herpes treatment options that have gained popularity over the past few decades.
Sexibalm - topical soothing formula has essential oils that with antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. A combination of healing essential oils used directly on the sores is thought to help speed healing during herpes outbreaks.
Rhodigandha (50 capsules per bottle)- contains adaptogens which help manage stress, thought to be a culprit in triggering outbreaks
Octocleanse - has herbs that with antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties.
Lysine 1000 mg
It should be noted that the studies that recorded positive results noted a reduction in the frequency of outbreaks and duration of outbreaks, not a complete suppression of outbreaks. This suggests that while lysine appears to be a useful therapy, best results may be obtained by combining it with additional therapies, either natural or orthodox. The dosage of lysine that has been reported to keep herpes in remission and heal lesions varies from person to person. An example of a dose often used during an active herpes flare up is 3,000 - 9,000 mg/day in divided doses for a short period of time. To prevent recurrences, many people take 500-1,000 mg daily. However, dosing depends on many different factors and you should talk to your doctor to determine the right dose for your particular situation.

In depth investigational Testing
In order to get to the root of the problem rather than just treating symptoms, it is necessary for the doctor to take a thorough history, perform a physical exam, and confirm the diagnosis with appropriate testing. While we use standard blood and urine testing, as do most physicians, we also have access to some of the most advanced diagnostic tests and procedures. Some of the tests we offer are:
Body Composition Testing using the BioSpace 520, the machine used for Olympic athletes and professional sports teams. This device accurately determines pounds of fat, muscle, and water and where they are located. It is essential for monitoring weight loss and the results of a proper diet or exercise program.
Salivary hormone testing Genova Diagnostics. Salivary hormone testing is the most accurate noninvasive method of evaluating adrenal function and is very useful in monitoring testosterone, estradiol, estriol, estrone, progesterone, and DHEA as well as melatonin. It does not require a blood draw, so it can be done at home. It is the standard of care in research on stress and adrenal function.
Urinary hormone analysis by Metametrix, (Estronex) and Genova diagnostics. Urine testing is very useful for monitoring hormone levels including thyroid, growth hormone, and aldosterone as well as testosterone, estrogens, progesterone, cortisol, dhea, and their metabolites. In addition, with urine testing we can assess the activity of osteoporosis and whether the patient's hormones are being converted into safe or dangerous compounds. If a problem is detected, we can then intervene. For women with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer or men with a family history of prostate cancer, this test is essential. Often, there is a familial tendency for cetain liver enzymes to process estrogens incorrectly resulting in toxic, cancer-causing metabolites. Urine hormone analysis and the estronex test can detect this condition and steps can be taken to repair this abnormality. These patients will benefit from a nutritional supplement program that targets these defective enzyme systems, moving them toward normal function, and hopefully reducing the risk for hormonally related cancer.
Complete Diagnostic Stool Analysis by Metametrix and Genova, This test is done using polymerase chain reaction testing (PCR), the most sensitive method of detecting parasites and disease causing bacteria. In addition, it monitors inflammation, digestion, levels of digestive enzymes, and absorption of nutrients.

Toxicity testing by Metametrix to determine if you are contaminated by environmental pesticides such as DDT, carcinogens, industrial and chemical pollutants, or heavy metals. If so, we can prescribe effective methods of removing these harmful substances from your body. In addition, Genova diagnostics offers a challenge test to accurately evaluate how effective your body is at processing various toxins.
Neurotransmitter testing, a urine test that can determine if you have imbalances in the levels of brain neurotransmitters that could be causing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and so on.
Here are a few other related panels:
Genetic testing through Genova Diagnostics to evaluate genetic mutations in various systems including detoxification, osteoporosis, cardiovascular health, immune function. If you understand what your genetic risks are, you can take steps to minimize their harmful effects.
Telomere Length Testing by Spectracell, www.spectracell.com. Telomere testing allows us to accurately determine your biological age by measuring the length of the telomeres at the end of each chromosome. If they are excessively short, i.e., excessively aged, we can intervene to reverse this process using supplements that are thought to lengthen telomeres.
There are many other functional tests available to you including tests for Candida infection, Candida Antibody Profile - Bloodtests for gluten sensitivity, metabolic syndrome,
and many others. Please call 832-237-4200 for pricing and to ensure your desired test is in stock.

Micronutrient Testing
Overwhelming scientific evidence confirms that vitamin deficiencies are associated with disease processes and the overall condition of one’s health. Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress immune function and contribute to chronic degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This body of research has been reaffirmed by the Journal of the American Medical Association (June 19, 2002-Vol 287, No 23).
The micronutrient tests measures how micronutrients are actually functioning within your patients’ white blood cells. These tests allow nutritional assessment of your patients for a broad variety of clinical conditions including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular risk, diabetes, various immunological disorders, metabolic disorders and micronutrient deficiencies.
A basic test costs $290 dollars.
Why Micronutrient Testing?
Verify balanced levels of nutritional functioning based on your individual biochemistry. Micronutrient test measures over 30 different vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and elements of carbohydrate metabolism. Your current supplemental regimen may be based on sound advice and science, but knowing what specific deficiencies exist for you is key to optimal health and prevention.
Why Is Functional Testing Better?
Serum testing measures nutrients levels in a very short window. MicroNutrient Testing measures LONG-TERM nutrient status over 3 – 6 MONTHS Serum testing only measures nutrient status outside the cell in the serum MicroNutrient Testing measures nutrient status WITHIN the patient’s own cells determining ABSORPTION.
Nutrient Status Is A Vital Foundation Of Health
Each micronutrient plays an individual and indispensable role in promoting optimal functioning of all our cells. When some of our cells do not function at their best, the foundation of our health is compromised, setting the stage for the development of disease. By identifying and correcting functional micronutrient deficiencies, you are taking an important step toward long-term maintenance of optimal health.
Micronutrient Test Is More Advanced Than Other Laboratory Tests
Before the introduction of the Micronutrient Test, many diagnosis and risk assessments were based on clinical observation and measurements of static levels of certain nutrients in serum. Static serum levels are not always representative indicators for assessing cell metabolism and utilization.
MicroNutrient Test offers a unique means to scientifically assess the intracellular requirements of micronutrients that play an important role in overall health and wellness.
Micronutrient test measure the biochemical function of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, providing a powerful clinical assessment tool. Our panels are designed to provide you with the most comprehensive nutritional analysis available.
What If I Am Deficient?
As the only lab that can offer a truly functional intracellular testing (Micronutrient Test), we also provide you with targeted nutrient repletion recommendations for those vitamins and minerals found to be deficient.
Why Nutritional Testing Is Important?
Nutrient deficiencies are common, in fact 90% of people are deficient and 50% of those are already taking supplements. Vitamin deficiencies contribute to common degenerative disease like heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer's.
Many prescription medication can cause nutrient depletions. (Ask us to provide you with a chart) Having a strong antioxidant defense system protects you against heart disease, cancer and other chronic conditions. There can be too much of a "good thing" -- too many antioxidants can be harmful. The only way to know what you need is to be tested. Simply taking a multivitamin may not be enough to meet your nutritional needs. You might be over supplementing with unnecessary vitamins, minerals or antioxidants.
Heaving healthy cells promotes strong immune function and optimal health for a lifetime.
