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?

Is ADHD actually a vitamin deficiency?

Posted in Vitamins on January 4th, 2009 by biometicslady

According to a  decades old Government article , ADHD may not be as complicated as you’ve been led to believe.  I’m quoting here “A 10 year test with rats proved that by withholding Calcium they can be bred down to a third the size of those fed with an adaquate amount of that mineral.  Their intelligence, too, can be controlled by mineral feeding as readily as their size, their bony structure, and their general health.  Place a number of these little animals in a maze after starving some of them in a certain mineral element.  The starved ones will be unable to find their way out, whereas the others will have little or no difficulty in getting out.  Their dispositions can be altered by mineral feeding.  They can be made quarrelsome and belligerent; they can even be turned into cannibals and be made to devour each other.  A cage full of rats will live in amity.  Restrict their Calcium, they will become irritable and draw away from each other.  They will begin to fight.  Restore their Calcium and they will grow more friendly; in time they will begin to sleep in a pile as before.  Many backward children are “stupid” merely because they are deficient in Magnesia.  We punish them for our failure to feed them properly.”

What does this mean for “ADHD”?  I’ll let you make up your own mind on that. 

  • But consider this, hasn’t ADHD become more prevalent and problematic in the last few decades?  Why do you suppose that is? 
  • Now consider the state of our soils and foods.  This article was written pre 1950, and it was a proven fact that there was serious depletion.  Being married to a farmer, I can tell you with certainty the advent of fertilizer has not solved this problem.  Three things are added to soil, Potash, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus.  Since the human body NEEDS about 98 different minerals, adding three doesn’t make much difference to what we need.  Of course, those three make the plants look good, makes them bigger and helps our yield.
  • Add to this the fact we now have GMO seed.  What is that?  Genetically modified.  It makes the plants resistant to Roundup, which normally kills everything, so the farmer can spray his fields for weeds that sap moisture and nutrition from the plant.  The necessity for this is an entirely different article, the bottom line is that spray is poison.  So on top of vitamin mineral deficiency, our bodies have to deal with poison. 
  • Then we have transport time.  This is much longer than it used to be, and every moment a fruit or vegetable is not eaten after harvest, it’s value depletes.

So what does all of this lead us to conclude?  You know the answer to that.  What I can suggest, however, is the possibily that our ultra absorbable liquid vitamins and unique Calcium/Magnesium drink may indeed offer you and yours more help in this area of ADHD than you realize.  I cannot name specifics, so please get with me at Biometicslady@yahoo.com and I will point you in the right direction.

CoQ10….What is it? Why Does it Work?

Posted in My Bio-thoughts on December 31st, 2008 by biometicslady

by BIOMETICSLADY

I’ve waded through and deciphered a number of scientific mumbo jumbo articles to give the real scoop in normal everyday language to help make this important Coenzyme more understandable.  Heck, I learned quite a lot of stuff I didn’t know either!

CoQ10 is one of those things not classified as a vitamin (1), but it’s a major player in the body.  It’s very very important for energy production in our cells.  What in our body does not require energy?  So since the body only produces it in small amounts, or gets it in small amounts from foods, it’s a given that supplimentation with CoQ10 is a necessity.(2) And since production of CoQ10 peaks around 20, and steadily declines with age, the small effort of taking a supplement, could potentially pay off big.

What is it? In the plainest terms… Coenzymes are the helpers of enzymes.  Enzymes are needed for every function of the body, and in order to work, they need their little helpers, the co-enzymes.  So if there are not enough co-enzymes  (along with a mineral such as Magnesium), our bodies are in trouble.  An analogy would be to a car, without fuel, it doesn’t run.  So without the right fuel for our 100 trillion cells, we don’t work either.  And this little co-enzyme does double duty in our bodies.  It works as an anti oxident too.  We all know what oxidation does to a car… it rusts it.  It’s the same in our bodies.  We don’t literally rust, that would be silly.  But the process and the product are much the same, if not exactly.  Ani-oxidents in the body serve to neutralize the nasty “rust” causing stuff from our food and air and even stress that causes some pretty bad results in our cells.  This is the same process that causes the dreaded aging in our cells. So is CoQ10 the fountain of youth?  No.  But it can sure slow things down.

I have people asking me if this is good for the heart.  In a word and according to scientific research…. Yes.  In everything I’ve found, the correlation of it’s use with improvement over non using groups was significant. (That was my scientific mumbo jumbo, but I’m done now.) If you are looking for a supplement good for the heart, Cell Care by Biometics is a superior method of getting CoQ10.  Why?  Because of the process they use called Micellization.  Micellization means that the droplet size of this nutrient is reduced so small, that this fat-soluable particle becomes water soluable.  Complete water solubility means better absorption, up to 500% better than regular vitamins.   Better absorption means better results! 

CoenzymeQ10 has been found to be very low in people with heart disease, Diabetes, Parkinsons, Cancer & HIV/AIDS.  Some prescription drugs can also lower CoQ10 levels (3)

Scientific research has suggested CoQ10 has uses in:

  • High Blood Pressure
  • Age related macular degeneration
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Angina
  • Heart Toxicity resulting from chemotherapy
  • Asthma
  • Breast Cancer
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • CFS
  • Kidney Failure
  • Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Heart Protection
  • Migrain Prevention
  • Many Others

The most amusing evidence I found was for Peridontal Disease!  If you swish the Biometics Products, Cell Care and Bio-Fuel around in your mouth, there are dentists promoting the use of this for not only Gum Disease, but bad breath!

“Your Body Is Screaming For Get-Go-N ; Can you hear through the fatigue, confusion, depression, and weight gain?”

Posted in Vitamins on December 22nd, 2008 by biometicslady

by BIOMETICSLADY  (Yours truly)

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}

The star of this product in my opinion is the Tyrosine.  Tyrosine (500 mg) paired with the B Vitamins makes for the perfect balance, and the Apple Cinnamon flavor of this makes it very tasty when mixed with juices and water, and even other flavored drinks.  Tyrosine is proven to be useful in ADHD, Depression, Appetite Suppression, Athletic Performance, And Parkinson’s, among other things.  Tyrosine is an amino acid is a precursor to numerous important substances in the body, such as the catacholamines Dopamine and Norepinephrine, and melanin and thyroxin as well. {5} “Tyrosine works” said Eric Beaverman, M.D., of the Princeton Brain Bio Center in New Jersey.  “It is a very mild but successful antidepressant that may be helpful to millions of people who suffer from mood problems, fatigue and tiredness.” It is also known that Tyrosine is a precursor to Seratonin.{6}For the above mentioned reasons, The Scholastic Enhancement Program by Biometics International, the leader in advanced Micellized nutrition, is a very effective therapy for the symptoms of ADHD/ADD. It has been found that the makeup of the brain can be altered by tryptophan, tyrosine (Get-Go-N) and choline (Bio-Alert) because they are the precursors of neurotransmitters substances that are released from a neuron or nerve cell when it fires.{7} In humans subjected to stressful conditions, tyrosine not only improves working memory and attention but may also improve mood and well-being {8, 9}. Tyrosine has been reported to alleviate some of the negative consequences of cold, high altitudes, fatigue, military training, and sleep deprivation {10-11}. It has also been postulated to decrease stress under conditions of aging, anorexia, and obesity {10}.

Why Detox?

Posted in My Bio-thoughts on December 16th, 2008 by biometicslady

by BIOMETICSLADY

Dear Readers,

Many of you visiting this site have painful maladies, or are dealing with loved ones who have health issues.  I believe 100% in my Biometics, they have changed my life…and I think even saved it when I was dealing with some toxic issues.

However, Vitamin Therapy will work much better in a clean system.  In order for you to feel the full effects of your therapy, you MUST remove toxins from your body.  What is a first important step?  Water.  Water is much maleigned, often overlooked, and so terribly necessary to our bodies.  I’m not talking about city or treated water, this has Chlorine and Fluoride.  Chlorine kills bacteria in the water, what do you suppose it does in our bodies?  Right, it kills bacteria…good and bad.  Fluoride, the Powers that Be would have you believe is good.  It is not, it is a waste product that ‘they’ did not know what to do with, so it was dumped in our water supply and we were brainwashed into thinking this deadly toxin was actually good for you.  It damages major organs….look it up. 

What I’m talking about is getting good water, Reverse Osmosis or Spring Water.  So that’s the first step.  It’s easy to take, mix lots of water in your drink in the morning, drink a couple of bottles throughout the day.  For most people, that’s enough.  There’s information about eight 8 oz glasses a day, or drink your body weight in ounces.  Maybe this is great for some folks, but for most of us, it isn’t really realistic.  Plus it could flush some important electrolytes out of your system  What I’m saying is, something is much better than nothing.  What I’ve always been told….drink enough so your urine is a very light color, and has no oder at all.  The “average” amount on this isn’t for everyone.  I personally hold that NO ONE is “average”, we are all wonderfully unique, and the averages or “normal levels” that doctors blood test for, are not necessarily applicable.

So what is the most reasonable way to Detox your system?  I’ve done a bit of research on this, mainly for a lady with Fibromyalgia that came to me for help.  Well, most of the Detoxs that can be done for a reasonable cost like “The Master Cleanse”, while wonderful, are not something the majority of us can do.  And not many can do 30 day water fasts either.  So…..the most reasonable, do-able way I found was something called Holy Tea.  It’s got some great ingredients, and you simply drink two eight oz glasses of this a day.  I think that’s do-able, I’m going to do it myself.  I can’t tell you to do something I won’t do, right?

This is great for the system, is there more that should be done?  Yes, actually.  We need to clean our colon.  There’s some really nasty crap in there, excuse the pun.  This doesn’t mean take a bunch of laxatives….NO,NO,NO! This needs to be done naturally, and gently.  Get a Cleanse at your health food store, and take only the recommended amount, more is not better.  Good ingredients are fennel, Cascara Sagrada, Psyllium, Buckthorn, Licorice and Rhubarb.  If you can get something with Black Walnut Hulls, Cloves, and Cayenne in the blend, all the better.  All three ingredients need to be present together to get rid of Parasites….we won’t go into Parasites here.  Most people don’t want to know that humans get them too.  They do, I know…Gross.

Doctor’s Orders: Take Your Supplements

Posted in Vitamins on November 28th, 2008 by biometicslady

Doctor’s Orders: Take Your Supplements

Does your doctor take nutritional supplements? The answer may surprise you. The stereotype says that doctors completely disregard nutritional supplements, and instead place their faith in ”mainstream medicine.” It turns out that the number of physicians and nurses who take dietary supplements is higher than the number of average Americans who take supplements.

The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), a trade association representing ingredient suppliers and manufacturers in the dietary supplement industry, conducted a survey of health care professionals, “to determine the personal attitudes toward dietary supplements of those people working in healthcare and how this impacts whether or not they recommend supplements to their patients.”

The survey results showed that, contrary to the stereotype, 89 percent of nurses, and 72 percent of physicians take dietary supplements, while only 68 percent of Americans overall take dietary supplements. Of the doctors taking supplements, 85 percent of them recommend supplements to their patients. What the survey also discovered is that even physicians who do not take supplements are comfortable talking about supplements with their patients. Of the 28 percent of physicians who do not take dietary supplements, 62 percent recommend supplements to their patients.

This last bit of news, while extremely positive, is rather surprising. What could be causing so many physicians who do not take supplements to recommend them to their patients? One theory is that the physicians are recommending patients take supplements for specific conditions (such as glucosamine for arthritis, or calcium for osteoporosis), while the doctors themselves do not suffer that condition.

The data from this survey suggests that physicians are following the recommendations from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which in 2002 began recommending that everyone, regardless of age or health status, take a daily multivitamin. The American Medical Association’s recommendation was based on comparisons of many long term studies, which showed that vitamin deficiencies are strongly linked to a wide range of illnesses and diseases, such as cancer and coronary heart disease. The JAMA’s researchers concluded at the time that, “It’s rare to find a health-promoter that offers such a substantial benefit with a relatively low cost and low risk of problems, and when you have such a thing,  you ought to jump on it.” The most recent research seems to agree that Americans should “jump on it” and take their multivitamins to obtain the vitamins and minerals they are missing by not eating a healthy diet.

Body Amazing

Posted in My Bio-thoughts on November 3rd, 2008 by biometicslady

by BIOMETICSLADY

I’m constantly amazed at the things the body can do to heal it’s self.  Do you remember that movie, “Field of Dreams”? “Build It and They Will Come”.  Just change it around a bit, and it describes what our greatest gift can do, “Give It the Right Building Blocks, It Will Heal”.

So will one product or one vitamin be the miracle that heals all your ills?  Absolutely not.  What it CAN do however, is to provide your body with the right materials that ALLOW the body to take it’s self from a negative state to a positive state.

“So how can one thing (Such as a multi like Bio-Fuel) do so many different things in so many parts of the body?”  Because everything starts with nutrition.  From the anti-inflamitory cells your body produces to help you heal, to the chemicals in the brain that regulate moods and attention.

What can I say….Wow. Thank you Biometics for letting me help….

Posted in My Bio-thoughts on October 29th, 2008 by biometicslady

It’s funny how life leads you down paths you never expected. I never thought I would be so profoundly changed by a product. Not only in the fact I love it and it’s done great things for my health….but the fact is now I’m touching other lives. Mother’s and fathers contact me about thier child with ADHD/ADD, they don’t want to put them on medication. Do you know how gratifying it is to have those people call me after putting their child on this, and tell me “it’s helping so much” “His teachers called with a GOOD report…..” Wow. What else can you say?

ADHD Call

Posted in My Bio-thoughts on October 26th, 2008 by biometicslady

I can’t recommend this one enough.  Dr. Thomas did an outstanding job.  Until I heard it, I didn’t realize how extensive Dr. Thomas’ clinical experience was.  He’s been in private practice for 28 years, and the large majority of his practice is now ADHD children and adults.  I was hoping he would tell why certain products from the Biometics line work so well, he did.  I was, I admit, disappointed that he did not go into more detail about why certain things had a positive effect on the brain and behavior, but for the average listener it was covered fairly well.  With my background in Psychology, I was probably hoping to hear a little more of the esoteric “Whys” than most people would be concerned with.  Over all, I’d give it A thumbs up rating! :)  If this is not a call you’ve taken the time to hear, I would suggest you do.  I’m locating it right on my Bio-Wow site.  ADHD, Bi-Polar, Depression….Many conditions can benefit from this information.

ADHD and Biometics

Posted in My Bio-thoughts on October 13th, 2008 by biometicslady

by BIOMETICSLADY

“But the company website says nothing about Biometics being so effective at treating symptoms of ADHD”.  This is true.  The company makes no medical claims whatsoever as to the results and efficacy of this product.  We must do our own research.  Biometics is not after all, a medical product that the FDA regulates (and therefore makes money from).  Of course they will steer you toward traditional medicine.

These medicines have been tested, they sure have.  Ritalin in the last five years caused at least 5 REPORTED deaths.  Strattera has it’s problems too.  Yes, they have been tested, and proven to be deadly.  How many people have died or even gotten sick from Biometics in the companies 15 year history?  ZERO!!!!

So, now I have that rant over with, how about some information on how Biometics can help you and yours?  That is, after all, the most important thing.  :)

First, you can go to the Biometics movie that explains exactly WHY Biometics is a superior product.  http://www.3stepsadd.com/liquid-vitamin-video.htm   next you can listen to the 24/7 automated call about nutrition for children, by  dialing 1-888-246-2428.  A menu comes on, choose #8, then choose #2 for the “chidren & Biometics” call.  After all this, email me at biometicslady@yahoo.com and we will discuss exactly the products that you will need, and how to properly use them to acheive the desired results.
