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?

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?

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.

“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.

How do you fight a cold?  Grandma will say, “Chicken Soup!” I say “Bio-Immune!” 

While Chicken Soup does not actually have ingredients that will speed the body’s healing from the cold virus, the heat of the soup, the steamy effect on your nasal passages, and the knowledge that you are earting homemade goodness loaded with fresh vegetables, can in fact make you feel loads better!

What can you take to combate this virus?  Nothing, actaully.  Antibiotics work on Bacteria, not viruses.  But you can make your system stronger, and give your body the correct building blocks for the job at hand.  The job of combating all those nasty bugs floating in the air!  BIOMETICS BIO IMMUNE contains ingredients that have been tested in clinical settings and have proven that they can actually shorten the duration of the common cold!

Things like Zinc, Echinacea, Vitamin C, and goldenseal.  The fact that it also contains barley juice, pau d’ arco and shiitake that also aid in cleansing and detoxification of the body are a plus! And you would think all these ingredients together would taste bad?  I don’t know how BIOMETICS does it, but they make formulations like these taste wonderful.  Even kids will take it!

Micellization is actually a complicated word for a fairly easy to understand process.  It is simply taking a lage particle and breaking it down, sometimes to thousanths of it’s original size, so the body can easily absorb it.  Think of an hourglass…. if I were to put a pebble in the glass, it wouldn’t flow through that little narrow hole in the middle.  If that pebble were crushed up however, all the particles could flow through and get where they need to be.  The same thing goes on inside our bodies.  We have small pore like openings in our cell walls, called aquaporin.  If a particle is too big, it is not absorbed into this little pore like opening.  If however that particle is broken into thousands of little bits, well, it slips right through.  Voila!  100% absorbsion.  So when you buy a Micellized product, you get everything you are paying for.  It will not end up in the toilet. Gross, huh?  But really, if you take vitamins, notice the color of your urine.  In large part, the bright color is all the vitamins you spent good money for that went straight on through to your bladder.  Nice.  With Biometics, you will notice a change.  But not from vitimins absorbed, but it will be quite light because you are drinking more water.  That’s about it.

Here’s the scientific version of what Micellization is:

To understand how the micellization process improves the absorption of fat-soluble compounds,

one has to understand how drugs/nutrients act in order to have desired therapeutical/nutritional

effects.

Understanding the Process of Drug or Nutrient Absorption

1, 2

To produce its characteristic effects, a drug must be present in appropriate concentration at its

site of action. The extent to which a drug reaches its site of action is called bioavailability.

Although it is obviously a function of the amount of drug administered, the concentration at its site

of action also depends on the extent of its absorption, distribution and elimination. In order to

increase the bioavailability of a drug, one can formulate the dose form that will modify its

absorption and distribution process.

1, 2, 3

The absorption of a drug involves its passage across cell membranes. The basic structure of

biological membranes is a bimolecular leaf arrangement of lipids as shown in Figure 1, in which

the amphoteric lipids and cholesterol are oriented so that the hydrophobic portion of the

molecules interact minimizing their contact with water or other polar groups, and polar head

groups of the lipids are at the interface with the aqueous environment, as shown in Figure 2.

At the junction of membrane surface and body fluid, there is a double layer formation. This double

layer is aqueous in nature. For a drug to cross the membrane and arrive at its site of action, it

must cross this double layer before getting into the membranes. Absorption, regardless of the

site, is dependent upon drug solubility in the double layer. The higher the solubility, the higher the

absorption, therefore the higher the bioavailability.

When amphoteric surfactant is dissolved in aqueous solution, the molecules of the compound

tend to aggregate and form a ball-like structure called micelle:

4

Big blue hydrophilic “heads” group towards the outside of the ball while little hydrophobic “tails”,

which are oil-like, group inside the ball “away” from the solution. Because of the nature of the

micellar structure, micellization can solubilize fat-soluble compounds inside the ball and increase

solubility of the compounds in the double layer dramatically, hence increasing their bioavailability.

Recognizing the advantages of aqueous preparation of fat-soluble nutrients over oil forms,

research during the past years has concentrated on improving the design of new dosage forms

that substantially increase the effectiveness of such formulations. Much of this activity has

focused on the development of micro-emulsion systems in which an oil is divided into very small

droplets (< 0.1 micron) referred to as “micelles”.

4

The use of micellar technology not only improves the efficacy of the product but allows a

reduction in the total dose. One of the breakthroughs in nutritional delivery systems is the unique

EMUSOL® MICELLIZATION PLUS process. The uniqueness of this process is easily

demonstrated by observing the resulting transparent solution when a micellized nutrient is added

to water. There is abundant evidence in the scientific literature that fat-solubles are more

effectively absorbed from aqueous preparations than from oily forms.

3

advantage is the increase in amount and rate of absorption.

Several studies have been conducted on the EMUSOL® micelle vitamin preparations to

determine the effectiveness of this delivery system when compared with both standard oil forms

and other emulsified forms. The studies were conducted in a random crossover fashion with

normal healthy individuals varying in sex and age. The following information is a summary of the

results:

Platelets play an important role in thrombus formation in arterial vascular walls which may lead to

vascular disease. It has been suggested in the scientific literature that vitamin E exhibits antiplatelet

activity.

5

absorption of Vitamin E in oil form is lower than 25% in normal humans.

6

Dosage of 500 IU of d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate were administered to the 12 subjects and the

plasma levels were measured as an increase over baseline levels (19.8 micromoles/liter) at 4 and

24 hours. Figure 3 shows the results of the comparative absorption increases of vitamin E plasma

levels of the oil, emulsified and EMUSOL® form at 4 and 24 hours. Table 1 indicates the relative

increases in absorption.

The data indicates that the EMUSOL® form of vitamin E showed a 4.8 times increase over the oil

form at 4 hours and 5.0 times increase at 24 hours. It also showed that the EMUSOL® form

increased plasma levels more than twice that of the emulsified form.

In a separate study, the rate of the absorption (micromole/liter/hour) was compared using 500 IU

of the oil, emulsified and EMUSOL® forms of d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. Figure 4 shows the

results of this study. Table 2 indicates the comparative rates of absorption observed.

The data indicates that the EMUSOL® form of vitamin E is absorbed 4.5 times faster than the oil

form. It was also absorbed nearly twice as fast as the emulsified form.

Human subjects were given 50,000 IU vitamin A palmitate in either an oil, emulsified or

EMUSOL® form. The blood plasma levels were measured as an increase over baseline levels

(2.675 micromoles/ liter) at 4 and 8 hours. Figure 5 illustrates results while Table 3 provides a

summary of the relative increases.

The data indicates that the EMUSOL® form of vitamin A showed a 5.4 times increase over the oil

form at 4 hours and a 4.7 at 8 hours. It also showed that the EMUSOL® form increased plasma

levels more than twice that of the emulsified form.

Vitamin E May Offer Heart Health for Diabetics
According to the American Diabetes Association, “there are 20.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes.” Diabetes patients face many concerns, including an increased risk of complications from other diseases, including heart disease and circulatory problems.
Although diabetics are generally cautious about what foods they consume and supplements they take, they may want to consider taking vitamin E supplements to support their heart health. A recent, small study suggests vitamin E supplements may reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.
In this study, 24 men and 13 women received vitamin E supplements (500 IU) daily for 10 weeks, and then took no supplements for 20 weeks of follow up. During this time, the participants had blood tests, which showed that at the 10 week mark, several blood markers (PAI-, VCAM-1 and ICAM 1), which are indicators of cardiovascular disease, decreased significantly. The blood tests also showed that during the 20 weeks of follow up, after the participants stopped taking the vitamin E supplements, the markers of cardiovascular disease remained low, and only slowly returned to their original level. This suggests that supplementing with vitamin E offered some extended benefits, even after the participants stopped taking the supplements.
Though this study was extremely small and limited, it should lead to larger and more intensive studies soon. Hopefully, vitamin E will soon be able to add another checkmark to its abilities: heart health for diabetics.

OMEGA-3 OFFERS MANY HEALTH BENEFITS FOR DIABETICS
Omega-3 Offers Many Health Benefits For Diabetics
A new report suggests that diabetics may be able to lose body fat by supplementing with Omega-3 fatty acids, and improve their cardiovascular health at the same time.
This new study, published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, involved twenty-seven women with type-2 diabetes, but no signs of high triglyceride levels (a risk factor for heart disease). For two months the women took either a placebo pill or a fish oil supplement containing 1.8 grams of omega-3.
The data show no changes in the women’s “insulin sensitivity,” indicating both the placebo group and the omega-3 group had no changes in how their bodies process insulin. However, at the end of the study, the women taking the omega-3 had “significant reductions in total fat mass and the diameter of fat cells beneath the surface of the skin (subcutaneous adipocytes).” In addition, the women in the omega-3 group had lower risk factors for plaque formation in the arteries, and lower ratios of HDL (“good”) to LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. The researchers say these benefits indicate that the omega-3 supplementation offered the women “considerable cardiovascular benefits.”
Omega-3 fatty acids are most commonly linked to heart health and reducing cholesterol levels. This study showed that the cardiovascular benefits of omega-3 supplementation carry over even to patients with type-2 diabetes. This is very positive news for diabetes patients, because diabetes places them at increased risk of complications from other diseases, including heart disease and circulatory problems. The data from this study suggest that diabetes patients can experience many health benefits with omega-3 supplementation, while the supplements do not impact their insulin balance. More research is sure to follow.

VITAMIN B1 FOR DIABETICS
Vitamin B1 for Diabetics
People with diabetes are cautioned that they are at increased risk for problems with their circulation. Now a new report suggests supplementing with vitamin B1 (also known as thiamine) can increase the health of their circulatory system.
Researchers determined that a previous test for vitamin B1 deficiency in diabetics was not reliable. They used a different test and studied not just whole blood, but also red blood cells and urine content to determine if the study participants were deficient in B1. The participants were made up of 74 people with diabetes (26 of them had type I and 48 had type II diabetes), and 20 people without diabetes who were the control group.
The researchers found that 76 percent of the group with type I diabetes and 75 percent of the group with type II diabetes had levels of vitamin B1 that were below normal. The researchers point out that because vitamin B1 is involved in the proper functioning of the heart, the deficiency of vitamin B1 makes the cells that make up the blood vessels and other parts of the circulatory system more fragile and more susceptible to the effects of poor insulin control. This fragility of cells in the circulatory system can increase other complications of diabetes, like increasing the risk of atherosclerosis (inflammation of the artery walls).
The second part of this clinical study is already under way, to test if supplements of vitamin B1 has long-term benefits for diabetics and prevents the complications to the circulatory system. The researchers are very hopeful that the news will be positive.

ANTI-DIABETIC BENEFITS OF ALOE PLUS
Aloe Plus: Surprising Anti-Diabetic BenefitsDiabetes was the sixth leading cause of death in the United States for 2000 and approximately 18.2 million Americans suffer from diabetes. It may be related to a number of health concerns including heart disease, stroke and obesity. And, adult-onset diabetes is growing at an alarming rate. New research proves that a potential anti-diabetic supplement may come from an powerful source- aloe. Anti-diabetic benefits can now be added to aloe’s long list of health benefits because multiple recent studies have shown the plant-derived liquid to be effective in a number of areas related to diabetes. In a recent study, diabetic patients were given 15 ml of either aloe or a placebo twice a day for 42 days. At the end of the study, those who were treated with aloe had decreased blood sugar levels by an average of 43 percent and blood triglycerides levels were decreased by 44 percent. There were no side effects, no change in weight and no change in appetite.According to the researchers, positive benefits could be seen after only the second week of aloe treatment. Along with the decrease in blood sugar and triglycerides, patients also reported less chest pains and improvement in their cardiovascular health. After three months, the blood lipid profile of patients taking aloe also improved. This study concluded that aloe had a “definite role in the prevention and management of heart problems related to diabetes and in controlling the blood sugar level in diabetic patients. In a second study, similar results were reported. Those treated with aloe had a 48 percent decrease in blood sugar levels and a 52 percent decrease in triglycerides. General recommendations for aloe vary and more research is needed to confirm the proper dose for controlling blood sugar levels, however the active component that could contribute to diabetic health has been identified as aloe polysaccharides. Other studies have confirmed beneficial effects of aloe on the liver, as a hypoglycemic agent and in cardiovascular health. Jones, Ken. The Anti-diabetic Activity of Aloe Vera.CINNAMON & DIABETICS
Cinnamon: Proven to help Diabetics People with diabetes may help keep their bodies healthy by simply adding a dash of cinnamon to their diet, new research reports. In a study conducted by the American Diabetics Association, diabetics who incorporated less than one-quarter teaspoon of cinnamon per day for 40 days into their normal diets experienced a decrease in levels of blood sugar, cholesterol and blood fats. The current findings suggest that a small amount of cinnamon can help protect diabetics from excess blood glucose and other potential complications of their condition, study author Dr. Richard A. Anderson of the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland told Reuters Health. Anderson noted that cinnamon may also help hold off the onset of type 2 diabetes in people at risk of the condition. Anderson and his team found that cinnamon-takers experienced a drop in blood levels of glucose, fats and cholesterol by up to 30 percent. No change was seen in the people taking placebo capsules. Anderson explained that cinnamon contains compounds that help make insulin more efficient, improving the hormone’s ability to bring glucose to the cells that need it. As an added bonus, cinnamon contains virtually no calories, Anderson said, allowing diabetics to add zest to their meals without adding to their waistlines. Previous research has shown that cinnamon appears to help fat cells recognize and respond to insulin. In test tube and in animal studies, the spice increased glucose metabolism by about 20 times.

Recently, I’ve received inquiries about Biometics for Diabetics. Yes, it is good. Yes, there have been many cases where the people saw lowered sugar. Yes, the carbs in the product may at first glance look too high, but consider, what is actually in the product? Is it a product with these “empty” carbs that will do nothing to actually lower your sugar in the long run? Or does it have componants that counteract high sugar levels? To explain, I’ve included some company articles here complete with refrences to perhaps expound on this in a way I couldn’t.

After a multi year search for something that worked and tasted great, well, I found it. It works, and it’s amazing. It’s altered my life, the lives around me and helped my own children. Please, Please- If you or a loved one is suffering from a health issue, call me. (989) 585-5421 I’m Jen
I got into this profession to help, I have a real soft spot for anybody suffering. Maybe because I was in pretty rough shape for so long myself. And helping it naturally without drugs, it’s worth a shot.
Call me-

When I first tasted this, my first reaction was WOW!  So what could I call this site but                       Bio-Wow….nothing else would have seemed appropriate. 

Suddenly I wanted to share this product with the world!  But there was a problem….the company didn’t produce sample sizes.  I couldn’t very well buy everyone a kit to try, that would be out of the budget!  So, I found a way to sample this product…..and now sales are skyrocketing.  Because after all, who doesn’t want to do something good for themselves if it tastes good?  Who wouldn’t rather spend a hundred or two on themselves to prevent perhaps thousands of dollars in doctor visits and perscriptions?

Biometics is a new way of life.  It heals, financially and physically.  They have a great pay plan, contact me, I will send you a CD.
