AKA Jen Thon B.S., M.H.W.

Hi, I’m Jen, and I have EBV.  Rewind to the spring of 1986.   I had the world by the tail, but at 17 you don’t know that.  Isn’t it funny how one little twist of fate can change everything?  One night I went to bed perfectly healthy and feeling fine, the next morning I awake to my belongings floating past my bed in water at least 2 feet deep.

Here in Michigan, in the Spring of ‘86, we had flooding, and quite a lot of it.  I lived in my parents finished basement at the time. After the cleanup, I had set out fans to dry all the carpeting in my living area.  But we had so much water, that it took a good three days of extraction with a carpet machine and the fans on high to dry it out.  I didn’t get sick immediately, but gradually over weeks I developed strange symptoms including the sore throat, low grade fever and tiredness.

For years after, I went to various medical doctors trying to figure out what was wrong.  To put it nicely, they all told me to stop exaggerating and it was all in my head.  Then they would do what ALL of them did, they would prescribe antibiotics.  All the while I was getting sicker and sicker.  I would hurt…all over.  I had no memory.  I had horrible yeast, on my skin and anywhere else you can think of.  Long story short…I lost 15 years of my life to being so sick I would be couch/bed ridden for 6 months at a time.  When I literally began crawling up the stairs because I couldn’t even stand, I came to a tough realization.  Something that went against every fiber of my being, that totally negated what I had always been told.  MDs were always right, they never lied, they always knew what they were doing. Well, I realized that day they did not have the answer all the time, yes sometimes they do lie and do things for money, even if it hurts the ones they were sworn to protect. That sometimes they actually did perscribe medicine knowing full well what the side effects were, and happily re-prescribe more medicine to address THOSE symptoms.

I started doing research on the computer, in the library and anywhere I could get information.  I learned many interesting things about medicines, effects and Lo and Behold, natural products! All the antiboitics I had for years, the end result of those was a destroyed immune system, a total imbalence of natural bacteria in my system, and THAT accounted for the overgrowth of yeast (leading to sever sickness, Depression, Memory loss Etc) I requested a certain blood test not generally given at that time, and I was found to be so severely deficient in B12 that my organs were actually being eaten away. That all those antacids to prevent my heartburn blocked the acid in my stomach, sure, but they also blocked Intrinsic Factor, which is ESSENTIAL for the proper absorbtion of vitamin B.  The list went on and on….talk about awful! So…

I didn’t get better until I went natural. By that I mean the basic vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function correctly.  ALL BODILY PROCESS START WITH VITAMINS AND MINERALS. I can’t stress that enough, so I’ll say it again.  ALL BODILY PROCESS START WITH VITAMINS AND MINERALS. Once you know that, you’re home free.

To your continued Health,

Jen

WHY do MDs still tell people not to waste money on vitamins? “Here’s a drug instead” Or “Go get a 1 a Day or Centrum, that’s all you need” HELLO< they don’t absorb! It’s like recommending leech treatments…..”catch up, will ya, the world isn’t flat either!
How many years of school are required to realize all bodily functions start with vitamins and minerals?

Critical Role of Choline

Five years ago, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers reported that choline played a critical role in memory and brain function. They found that choline positively affected the brain’s physical development.

Since then, UNC researchers have been working more closely to find the reason for the connection between choline and brain development. They have been working with nerve tissue derived from human cancer cells and recently discovered that choline causes stem, or parent, cell growth. They also found that there is less cell growth if choline is lacking in the diet.

“We found that if we provided (cells) with less choline, those nerve cells divided less and multiplied less. We then went on to try to explain why, by looking at genes known to regulate cell division,” said Dr. Steven H. Zeisel, professor and chair of nutrition at the UNC schools of public health and medicine.

Cell division is necessary for the development of the body. It is the process by which one cell divides into two cells causing reproduction and growth. It was found that when there was not enough choline in the diet, cell division was halted or slowed down.

The process of cell division is very important for developing babies. Babies get choline from their mother during pregnancy and from breast milk after they are born. Breast milk contains much more choline than many infant formulas.

Zeisel said that women who are pregnant or nursing are much more susceptible to choline deficiency. At these times, they need much more choline in their diet to support the growing baby.

Choline is a vitamin-like substance that is sometimes treated like b-vitamins and folic acid in dietary recommendations. Good sources of choline include eggs, meat, peanuts, and dietary supplements.

Would you rather take a dozens of pills to get your B vitamins in separate component parts, or drink a delicious apple cinnamon flavored drink that actually works?

Get-Go-N Plus is an essential part of the Biometics line.  All Biometics products are produced to work synergistically.  The products are separated into different components, instead of all lumped into one formula.  This is for the simple reason that some products are more appropriate for certain health issues than others.

Get-Go-N Plus is composed of a B Vitamin Complex with the addition of Tyrosine.  Let’s look at the specific ingredients of this product, and the possible benefits of its use.

Let’s look at the B Vitamins first.  Deficiency in B vitamins can cause things such as muscle cramps, Anemia, Mental Slowness and confusion, lack of energy, respiratory infections, hair loss, and poor development in children, depression and abdominal cramps among others.

Note: B vitamins are destroyed by many things, such as caffeine, stress, alcohol, refined sugars and nicotine.  B vitamins are water based, and as such cannot be stored by the body, and any excess intake is excreted in the urine.  We must take in enough for our requirements each day, and since many people with health issues need more B Vitamins, and process it at a faster rate, it is no wonder so many diets are deficient in this basic nutrient.

Not all vitamins are created equal!

Get-Go-N Plus contains 1.7 G of Riboflavin (B2)   this is 100% of the RDA. Like the other B Vitamins, it plays a key role in energy metabolism, and is required for the metabolism of fats, ketones, carbohydrates, and proteins.  It contains 50 mg of Niacin (B3), which is 250% of the RDA. Niacin opens the capillaries, improving the flow of blood (resulting in the occasional red itchy “Niacin Flush”, which can be alleviated by drinking a simple glass of water).  Deficiency of Niacin has been shown to produce agitation and anxiety, as well as mental and physical slowness.  Vitamin B 5 (Pantothenic Acid) is at 10 mg, which is 100% of the RDA.  B5 deficiencies include fatigue, chronic stress and depression.  Vit B 5 is needed for hormone production and the uptake of Acetylcholine (Bio-Alert), which combine to prevent certain forms of depression. Pyridoxine (Vit B 6) is the most plentiful, at 10 mg, or 500%.  Many nutritionally oriented doctors do not believe that most diets do not provide optimal amounts of this vitamin {1}. 

A healthy alternative for ADD/ADHD?

This vitamin aids in the processing of amino acids, which is only one of the reasons this component, contained in our Scholastic Enhancement Program,  has  proven to be amazingly useful for alleviating systems of ADHD.    Get- Go-N Plus has 100% of the Folic Acid or Folate as required by the RDA.   Most of us are familiar with this nutrient because of the recommendation to pregnant women get enough folate for the health of the developing fetus, since it is essential in the production of red blood cells and plays an important part in the production of DNA.  It also helps prevent Neural Tube Defects in the developing fetus.  The last B Vitamin Get-Go-N Plus contains is Vitamin B 12, at 6 mcg or 100% of the RDA.  Deficiency leads to such things as mood swings, irritability, confusion and mania {1}

Two little scoops… such powerful results!

Get-Go-N plus also contains .6 mg of Copper (30% of the RDA), a nutrient essential for transporting oxygen and for the maintenance of bone, connective tissue, brain, heart, and many other organs. {2}Copper is very important if you supplement with Zinc, as Zinc can interfere with the body’s absorption of Copper.  Zinc in this product is present at 5 mg (33%).  Zinc hardly needs an introduction.  It is essential for the immune system.  Zinc is an essential trace element for all forms of life. The significance of zinc in human nutrition and public health was recognized relatively recently.{3} Numerous aspects of cellular metabolism are zinc-dependent. Zinc plays important roles in growth and development, the immune response, neurological function, and reproduction. On the cellular level, the function of zinc can be divided into three categories: 1) catalytic, 2) structural, and 3) regulatory.{4}
