That means primarily vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices and more - not synthetic, man-made vitamins or minerals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;"&gt;People who believe nutrition matters take whole-food multis&lt;/span&gt; for insurance against possible deficiency. They believe synthetic multivitamins are largely useless and even risky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few rare individuals believe they get everything they need for good health strictly from their diet. They won't be interested in this whole-food multi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For everybody else, however, there is The Pops™ to help maintain a healthy immune system, increase energy and whole body health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, check out the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/p/frequently-asked-questions.html"&gt;Frequently Asked Questions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; (FAQ)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-3417633657510626300?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/3417633657510626300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/3417633657510626300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2009/12/dose-of-good-nutrition-in-capsule.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SjkB_3XgBVI/AAAAAAAADiY/yoEI2Nqtfaw/s72-c/green_product_photo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-4902268071910268519</id><published>2009-12-11T13:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-07-14T17:33:22.634-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000066; font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;u&gt; Frequently Asked Questions&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Q: What exactly is in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Pops&lt;/span&gt;™?&lt;br /&gt;There are a total of seventy-seven ingredients crammed into The Pops™, including twenty-two fruits and twenty-five vegetables. The Pops™ also have nine major sources of antioxidants, which fight free radicals and protect the body against cancer and early aging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, The Pops™ have eleven plant enzymes for things like digestion, bloating and gas. These enzymes also break down plaque buildup in arteries, as well as toxic deposits in joints and fatty tissue. There's also friendly flora, fat burning metabolic boosters, food herbs and more. These ingredients were selected because of what research has shown they do for our bodies – make them feel good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Who designed The Pops™?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The designer of The Pops™ is Dr. Heidi Dulay, Ed.D., N.C. Her  health quest started with  two personal battles - living down an embarrassing childhood nickname "Walking Ball" and battling cervical cancer in her t&lt;reg&gt;hirties. Now, more than twenty years later, she's in peak health and lives to  spread the word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paulshealthblog.com/2009/07/cancer-comments-from-dr-heidi-dulay.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343651391425616194" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/Sih2oO1yGUI/AAAAAAAADf4/xpk9_CxEJuc/s200/heidi.gif" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 89px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 86px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Dr. Heidi teaches Comparative Dietary Approaches, a  core course in the Masters Program in Nutrition at John F. Kennedy University in California. She also leads product development for Whole Food Nation™, including The Pops™ and ER Fat Burn™.&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Dulay also guides clients with her  programs in nutrition and health. She holds advanced nutrition certifications from Bauman College, a Master of Science from Stanford, and a Doctor of Education degree from Harvard.&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: How are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Pops™ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;made?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pops™ are  made by taking a nutrient-rich plant like broccoli and removing the water and fiber. It's then made into a powder and pressed into capsules. All the nutrients in the plant remain intact, including vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The phytochemicals (plant medicines), chlorophyll (healer of sick cells) and antioxidants (cancer fighters) are also preserved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When consumed, the nutrients are absorbed into your body as if you had eaten the fruits and vegetables whole. This allows you to get seventy-seven nutritionally dense ingredients every single day, including twenty-two fruits and twenty-five vegetables. And because The Pops™ are made from real food, there are no negative side effects and your body knows exactly what to do with the nutrients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Who are the owners of Whole Food Nation™? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The owners of Whole Food Nation™ are Dr. Heidi, Vicki and Kim, three friends and true health nuts. They originally developed The Pops™ for their personal use, since they could not find anything like it. Eventually, over the course of two years, they decided to market it through direct sales. They truly believe The Pops™ makes a difference in our health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: All I need to do is take The Pops™ and I'll be healthy, right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effects reported by consumers are as diverse as the ingredients. Since you're unique, no one knows what concentrated nutrition will do for you. That's why we say No Promises, No Problems™. The only way to know how it will work is to try it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Does Pop-a-Purple™ and Pop-a-Green™ cure disease?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;The Pops™ &lt;reg&gt;is not promoted as a product that cures  disease. Whole Food Nation™ does not have miracle products. It's the human body that's the real miracle. It just needs high-quality food to do its work. The Pops™ are made from high-quality foods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Why do we need to eat more fruits and veggies?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because they're a prime source of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"co-factors"&lt;/span&gt; - the term professionals use when talking about vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs to process food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Co-factors are crucial for you to be able to absorb nutrition from food, make fuel for energy, neutralize stress and age gracefully. Even low carb fanatics know they have to eat veggies with their meat, fish, eggs or cheese. Otherwise, they get constipated and have bad breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your body can't break down protein well without co-factors. You not only get clogged up, but you can also get leaky gut, which are holes in your intestines. These holes are made by bacteria as they gobble up the rotting protein lodged in your intestines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A leaky gut allows foreign substances to pass into your bloodstream and land in your joints. This results in inflammation and joint pain. It causes your immune system to start misfiring and your skin to break out in ugly lookin' acne, spots and scabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, what leaks through causes toxic growths and arterial plaque. Soon diseases emerge, like allergies, arthritis, acne, osteoporosis, lupus, even cancer and heart disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: What causes cravings?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not having enough &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;co-factors&lt;/span&gt; causes you to have cravings, your body's cries for missing nutrients. Cravings remain until your body gets what it's looking for, or becomes too tired to look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you eat junk food like sugar, alcohol, any white grain (white bread, white rice, pasta), or other refined, processed food like soybean or corn oil, your body has to scrounge for co-factors. It steals them from bones, organs, muscles and other tissues. Your body does this so it can at least use the junk food for fuel. This puts off sickness and disease, but not for very long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Is there any fiber in The Pops&lt;/span&gt;™&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;No. Fiber is a good thing - if it's in food or a fiber supplement. However, it is not a good thing in a vitamin/mineral supplement, because you're getting less of the expensive ingredients (the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, etc.) The space in a capsule is best saved for precious ingredients, not wasted on cheap fillers, don't you think? Fiber is a cheap filler, so take it alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: If I'm on any medications, can I take The Pops™?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes. However, both the Pop-a-Purple™ and Pop-a-Green™ contain Bioperine&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, which helps the body absorb nutrients. Bioperine&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; will also enhance the absorption any drugs you're taking too. So it's recommended you wait an hour after taking any medication before consuming The Pops™.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How can such a small capsule have so much nutrition?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One reason is due to today's technology. Another reason is because The Pops™ are &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;highly&lt;/span&gt; concentrated. The third reason is the ingredients have a synergistic effect and work significantly better together, rather than isolated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: How come the vitamin and mineral amounts are not listed?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The value of the ingredients is not in amounts. It's in the synergy or interaction among the hundreds of nutrients contained in the ingredients, all working together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Functional medicine research is showing that very small amounts of a wide array of natural nutrients is usually more beneficial than large amounts of isolated nutrients. The body uses them more easily. Further, there is a cooperation between certain vitamins and minerals, promoting absorption. Correcting a deficiency in one vitamin/mineral requires the addition of others, not simply replacement of the deficient one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the idea that 200 mg of a nutrient is always better than 50 mg is a myth, because the milligram count is a measure of weight, not usefulness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only amounts publishable in The Pops™ are those you see in the Supplement Facts on the back of each box, as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pop-a-Purple™&lt;reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Vitamin A (as beta carotene from Dunaliella) - 5000 IU&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Vitamin C (from camu-camu) - 10 mg&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) - 20 mcg&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Proprietary Enzyme Blend - 38 mg&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Proprietary Nutrient Complex - 846 mg&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pop-a-Green&lt;/reg&gt;™&lt;reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Vitamin A (as beta carotene from Dunaliella) - 5000 IU&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Vitamin C (from camu-camu) - 10 mg&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Proprietary Enzyme Blend - 38 mg&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;reg&gt;Proprietary Nutrient Complex - 855 mg&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;reg&gt;The ingredients in the blends are tiny amounts that work together synergistically - unlike ingredients in a multivitamin that are relatively large amounts of &lt;u&gt;isolated&lt;/u&gt; nutrients with separate effects.  These amounts are proprietary.  We cannot legally disclose them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note the Vitamin A is in the form of beta carotene in dunaliella.  It is listed as Vitamin A pursuant to FDA regulations that require any vitamin that is found in certain minimum amounts in a whole-food to be listed separately, as if it were isolated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Same with the Vitamin C.  The ingredient really is camu-camu, but the camu-camu is so rich in Vitamin C, the Vitamin C had to be listed separately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: What does The Pops™ not have?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pops™ do not have  pesticides, food coloring, sugar, synthetic stabilizers, starch, gluten, binders, filler or preservatives. The seventy-seven ingredients are made from real food, are in two easy to take capsules and work together throughout your body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Do The Pops&lt;/span&gt;™&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; help fight colds and the flu?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies show  vitamins such as A, B-complex, C and E, found in fruits and vegetables,  strengthen your immune system against colds and the flu. Yet people tend to eat fewer fruits and veggies in the winter. The Pops™ has twenty-two fruits and twenty-five vegetables, plus a whole lot more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ginger root  is another ingredient in The Pops™ used to fight colds, fevers and nausea. Elderberry is another Pops ingredient  used for centuries to treat fevers, colds and influenza. Elderberry  lessens the  severity of colds, especially when combined with vitamin C and zinc. In a clinical study, elderberry  significantly improved flu symptoms after two days. Most participants reported complete relief from symptoms after three days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: What are some of the things The Pops™ do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a Purple in the morning and a Green in the evening for:&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Digestion&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Elimination and detoxification&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Energy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Better sleep&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Better skin&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reduced stress and anxiety&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reduced cravings&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reduced aches and pains&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Normal cholesterol and blood pressure&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Weight loss&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The ingredients in The Pops™ also help reduce damage to the body for things like wrinkles, eyesight, arthritis and more. All ingredients in The Pops™&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;are GRAS – "Generally Recognized As Safe" by the FDA (the United States Food and Drug Administration).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Are The Pops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%; font-weight: bold;"&gt; the same as eating actual fruits and veggies?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technically, no. The Pops™ are not a substitute for eating actual fruits and vegetables. They are not meant to be taken instead of food. These whole-food multis are to complement a diet that does not contain optimum amounts of nutrition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the U.S.D.A. food pyramid, everyone should eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, at least nine daily servings. If you don't eat perfectly every single day and on every single occasion, then the seventy-seven health ingredients in The Pops™ provides all of the necessary vitamin and mineral &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;co-factors&lt;/span&gt; needed for optimal biochemical functioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: Who needs whole-food multis?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Prescription for Nutritional Healing&lt;/span&gt;, here's a short list of those who should get whole-food multis, The Pops™:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adolescents&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Alcohol drinkers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Athletes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Dieters&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Drug users, prescription or recreational&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Elderly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Health fanatics&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Junk food eaters&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Overweight and obese people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  People who supplement with specific nutrients&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;People who eat mostly cooked food&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sick people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Smokers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stressed out people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Women who are pregnant, nursing, or taking oral contraceptives&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Workaholics&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Where are The Pops™ manufactured?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The manufacturing facility of Whole Food Nation™ is &lt;a href="http://www.gardenstatenutritionals.com/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"&gt;Garden State Nutritionals&lt;/a&gt;, an FDA-licensed and certified GMP facility. GMP stands for 'Good Manufacturing Practices', a certification given by the National Nutritional Foods Association and NSF International.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These two independent, nonprofit organizations use a uniform set of standards, so consumers can be assured that what is on the label is also in the box. Also, consumers can know they are receiving pure ingredients at accurate dosage levels. Garden State Nutritionals has earned the coveted National Nutritional Foods Association GMA 'A' rating, and is kosher-approved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: I already take vitamins.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Why shou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ld I take The Pops™?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supplements only have to be 10% natural in order to legally make this claim. That's why more than 95% of all vitamins sold today are man-made synthetics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wholefoodnation.com/cmd.php?af=737132" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Just say no to synthetic vitamins." border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298963849165924354" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SYmzi7Mr6AI/AAAAAAAAC-8/uPGs0n5fEBw/s400/centrum_multivitamin_tabs_100_66321.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 78px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 78px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"Your body isn't designed to take synthetic vitamins, regards them as toxins, and attempts to eliminate them as rapidly as possible. They act like stimulants, hasten the aging process, rob your body of energy and provide expensive color to your urine." - &lt;b&gt;Dr. Joel Robbins, M.D.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Synthetic vitamins can build up in your system and cause health problems, including lung cancer, heart attacks and yes, even death. &lt;reg&gt; That's why any supplement you take should only be made from food. This is what separates &lt;/reg&gt;The Pops™&lt;reg&gt; from the grocery store cheapies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: I feel healthy. Why do I need to take &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Pops™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Harvard School of Public Health&lt;/span&gt;, "Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits can help you ward off heart disease and stroke, control blood pressure, prevent some types of cancer, avoid a painful intestinal ailment called diverticulitis, and guard against cataract and macular degeneration, two common causes of vision loss."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, a landmark study in the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Journal of the American Medical Association&lt;/span&gt;, using thirty-six years of data, concluded that everyone needs to supplement - regardless of age or health. They concluded that people who did not get enough nutrition were at an increased risk of disease, including heart disease and cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;"Insufficient vitamin and mineral intake is apparently a cause of chronic disease. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements." - &lt;b&gt;American Medical Association, June, 2002&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Americans do not get  basic, recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals. Research shows 93 percent have inadequate intakes of vitamin E, 75 percent do not meet recommendations for calcium, 44 percent are lacking adequate intake of vitamin A, and 73 percent do not get enough vitamin K. And that's the short list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So do you still think we're getting proper levels of nutrition?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q: How much are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Pops™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it depends. Let me tell you how it comes. A single box retails for $37.00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wholesale price is $25.00 per box (with the purchase of ten or more, like buying bulk at Sam's Club&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;reg&gt;&lt;/reg&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And regular subscribers pay  $29.50 a month. (.98 cents a day)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these prices include &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;free&lt;/span&gt; shipping.

Most people use it to make smoothies. The three company owners of Whole Food Nation&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt;, who are health nuts, also eat it by the spoonful as a treat or a quick snack. They've used it almost everyday for seven years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I take this superfood almost every day, first thing in the morning, along with a Purple Pops. My wife and I also mix Big B&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt; in with the juice we give our two year old son, Brady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only ingredient in Big B&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt; is stabilized rice bran, one of the richest sources of B complex vitamins (see &lt;a href="http://wholefoodnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/label-supplement-facts-big-b.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Supplement Facts&lt;/a&gt;). B vitamins are a natural source of energy. They help reduce stress and support your adrenals. They help sex drive and fertility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big B&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt; rice bran also naturally contains essential amino acids, essential fatty acids omega 6 and 3; the minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium; the super enzymes glutathione peroxidase, methionine reductase, and super oxide dismutase; phytosterols including gamma oryzanol, plus over 100 antioxidants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common rice bran turns rancid very quickly. Stabilizing it allows the bran to stay fresh about a year or more after manufacturing and 60 days after opening. Big B&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt; rice bran is stabilized without chemicals or preservatives.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2009/12/big-b.html"&gt;&lt;img alt="PaulsHealthBlog.com" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343157312434107202" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/Sia1RDKqc0I/AAAAAAAADfY/qH7qWansPSQ/s400/bigb-button-3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 248px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 333px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;More Information: &lt;a href="http://wholefoodnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/label-supplement-facts-big-b.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Supplement Facts&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://wholefoodnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/label-directions-big-b.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Directions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;If you believe nutrition matters and makes a difference in your health, like my family and I do, then consider adding Big B™ and The Pops™ from Whole Food Nation™ into your daily routine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wholefoodnation.com/cmd.php?Clk=3051796"&gt;&lt;img alt="PurpleGreenPops.com" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383508779985402546" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SrYQtlw5-rI/AAAAAAAADxA/qcCHdqJe4lo/s400/order_here01.gif" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 78px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We pay shipping for you."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You may also be interested in... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/p/order.html"&gt;&lt;img alt="22 Fruits. 25 Vegetables. 77 Total Ingredients." border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/St8rbFyBCGI/AAAAAAAAD4s/ATEk-ezMY2c/s400/ThePops_shadow.jpg" style="display: block; height: 163px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 285px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr style="color: #330099;"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;22 Fruits. 25 Vegetables. 77 Total Ingredients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-6072887776907111346?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/6072887776907111346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/6072887776907111346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2009/12/big-b.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SiayBGcbujI/AAAAAAAADfQ/vnTAPadfuxs/s72-c/big-b-stemed-optimized-300x212.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-7760357415682801682</id><published>2009-10-10T22:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-15T12:59:41.514-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>The following is a brief overview of the ingredients in The Pops™&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9 Major Sources of Antioxidants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Camu-camu&lt;/span&gt; - Amazon rainforest fruit containing the highest recorded amount of natural Vitamin C&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tumeric root concentrate&lt;/span&gt; - To reduce inflammation and pain, and the risk of Alzheimers.

My face used to break out real bad all the time and then I noticed about a month after I started taking them that my skin cleared up - big time. I forgot to take them for a few weeks and I started breaking out again. Seems like as long as I remember to take them that my skin stays clear." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Michael Cotter, 16 years old, Petaluma, California&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I do physical therapy work on horses, which is like pushing on a brink wall all day. Last summer I hurt so much that I was thinking of changing careers. But after being on the Pops for a few months, my achiness has pretty much gone away. It didn't happen overnight. I'm glad I kept taking them." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Joseph Freeman, Battleground, Washington&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I know The Pops™ has helped me remain healthy and strong while working in a physically demanding career for more than 30 years.

My mind is clear and I feel ready to go. My wife and I have been on the Pops for 13 months now, and we don't go a day without them. I'm 57 and want to live independently without caretakers until we drop." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dave Christensen, Balston Spa, New York&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Seven years ago I had a car wreck and I lost my energy. I couldn't work the 12 to 16 hour days I used to, and I had to take two naps to get me through the day. After a month on the Pops I don't need morning naps anymore. My old energy is coming back and I feel better. I take a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Purple&lt;/span&gt; with breakfast, a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Green&lt;/span&gt; with lunch, a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Purple&lt;/span&gt; in the afternoon for a boost, and a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Green&lt;/span&gt; with dinner." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kathy Mossberg, Overland Park, Kansas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.the77ingredients.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319388969044787858" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 4px 4px; float: right; width: 80px; height: 96px;" alt="Doris Herrmann" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SdJEFYILwpI/AAAAAAAADKI/YfowIV4ziLc/s400/DSCN10941.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"I can't thank you enough for all the information on the Pops. I know they've helped us stay healthy and on the right track. Even my 15 year old son noticed his battle with acne went away with the twice-a-day pops. One purple, one green and we save tons of money in acne medicine and dermatologist bills." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Doris Herrmann, Galveston, Texas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was clearing out some supplement bottles today, when I realized that I've actually replaced 4 supplements with the Pops. Here's what I was taking:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Primal Defense&lt;/span&gt; - 4 per day, $35/month - probiotics for my colon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Similase&lt;/span&gt; - 4 per day, $24/month, - digestive enzymes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Green Magic Powder&lt;/span&gt; - 1 Tb/day, $36/month, - sea veggies, algae and grasses for minerals, B vitamins and microproteins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Juice Plus&lt;/span&gt; - 6 capsules, $59.25 - fruits and veggies in capsules, for a multi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's a total of $155 a month and 14 pills a day, plus the powder. Now I spend $37.00/month, taking 1 Purple and 1 Green per day. I'm saving over $100 a month and I'm not missing anything I need." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kim Klaver, Kansas City, Missouri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In the first week I wasn't napping during the day anymore, and I wasn't crashing when I got home. I'm even alert at my night meetings. I've been on The Pops™ fourteen months now, and I haven't had a cold or flu since." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ron Rubin, D.M.D., Boca Raton, Florida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I used to dread hearing the alarm go off a 6 am and I'd always try to grab a few more minutes under the covers. The morning after I started taking &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pop-A-Green&lt;/span&gt;, my eyes flew open at 5 AM and I felt I just had to get up. I've tried a lot of vitamins and supplements over the years, but this experience was new to me. I continued popping the Greens and kept waking up alert at 5 AM. It's been a year now, and no more alarm. I enjoy being the only one in the family awake at 5 AM." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;James Young, San Jose, California&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.the77ingredients.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319511324190793794" style="margin: 0pt 4px 4px 0pt; float: left; width: 129px; height: 127px;" alt="Shane Lambert with his little baby" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SdKzXYkPYEI/AAAAAAAADLY/am5JhfQLNGY/s400/686f59fa4866b315628cd28fcfb3bb73.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"I love the Pops because they're easy to take and work into my daily routine. For me, it's one Purple in the morning and one Green after dinner. The Purple gives me the energy to get through the day while the Green helps get rid of all the garbage I eat and helps me sleep better at night." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shane Lambert, Trempealeau, Wisconsin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember. I could eat a plateful of cookies and a bowlful of candy at one sitting. I tried different diets and vitamins to break me from the habit but nothing seemed to work. Then I tried Pop A Purple and I noticed within a few weeks that I quit craving the sweets ...and I lost 15 pounds the first year without trying. Now I can have sweets when I want to, and stop when I want to. It feels good to be in control for the first time." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Stephen Frerich, St. Cloud, Minnesota&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I used to wake up four times every night.

Within a few days of taking the Pops, I started waking up an hour earlier and have cleaned out my kitchen and bathroom tile for the first time in months. After a few weeks, my body started to tone up. It's been a year now, and my chiropractor is amazed at how easier my adjustments are. I have a counter of other supplements which I don't take anymore." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Alicia Neisingh, Santa Rosa, California&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.the77ingredients.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319515287776488338" style="margin: 0pt 4px 4px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 75px; height: 89px;" alt="PurpleGreenPops.com" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SdK2-GEta5I/AAAAAAAADLg/slAwsm0ac1g/s400/3065476997c3c641dd50b63604262762.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"My 25-year old bipolar son had a manic episode one night. He raged so bad that we had to call the cops. No one in the house got any sleep that night. I thought I would have to drink coffee all day to stay awake at my job the next day. Instead, I took a Purple every 3 hours. My energy stayed up and I was surprised not to have any emotional effects from the night before. So now, each time life gets crazy on me, I follow the same routine, popping a Purple every 3 hours or so - to keep going and take the edge off. On normal days I only take a couple of Purples in the morning and a couple of Greens at night." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vicki Link, Petaluma, CA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Since I've been taking the Pops, I've had a huge decrease in muscular pain with my fibromyalgia." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jana Zaloum, Kansas City, Missouri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think the Pops, especially the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Greens&lt;/span&gt;, are balancing out my hormones. Now I can usuallly sleep through the night instead of waking up at 3 or 4:00 a.m. and lying awake for at least an hour, then be completely worn out the next day. That's probably why I feel addicted to the Greens - they're like a sleeping pill for me..." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Camille Paul, Seattle, Washington &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Eighteen months ago I lost about 25% of the vision in one eye from an injury. My eye doctor said the vison wouldn't return. I made some lifestyle changes and started taking The Pops™. After six months, a vision test showed that twenty percent of my vision has come back. - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jacqueline Freeman, Battleground, Washington&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I lost 37 pounds on a low carb diet, but wasn't eating veggies and got constipated. With Pop-a-Green™ I've been normal for a year now and I've kept the weight off.

He even got a prescription from his doctor which I wasn't crazy about. But it was only for a month. When the month ended, his heartburn came back. It seemed like he complained about it more after using the prescription.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I asked Dr. Heidi if heartburn was related to diet. She suggested taking the pops before a meal (for the digestive enzymes). I told my hubby all this Monday evening and gave him a green before dinner. Fast forward about 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got home from a candle show about 9:30 Tuesday night and what does my hubby tell me...he hasn't has any heartburn all day! Could it really be this easy?" - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Susan S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;__________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Since I have been taking the Pops I have had a huge decrease in muscular pain with my fibromyalgia. Would this be due to the increase in nutrition? Will our muscles respond negatively to lack of proper nutrition? Also, what kind of additional nutritional helps do we need in addition to the Pops? - Thanks - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ana Zaloum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Heidi's response:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, our bodies - including our muscles - respond well to good nutrition, using it to heal. The Pops have a number of ingredients that could take the credit for the decrease in your muscle pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The 7 metabolic enhancers in the Purples help your body better absorb the nutrients in the food you eat, as well as the nutrients in the Pops themselves. So, even if you did not make any changes in your diet, you are probably extracting more out of what you eat than you did before, including the minerals magnesium and manganese that improve energy production in muscle cells, relieving fibromyalgia pain. The metabolic enhancers also increase the body's energy production. This causes the muscle cells to expand rather than contract, easing the pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. A wide spectrum of antioxidants are contained in a number of Pops ingredients, including camu-camu (Vitamin C), dunaliella (beta carotene/ Vitamin A), extracts of green tea, grape seed, turmeric, alpha lipoic acid, not to mention all the berries and other fruits. Antioxidants support immune function, which causes the body to relax instead of&lt;br /&gt;struggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The probiotics (with the prebiotics) in the Pops reduce yeast overgrowth which seems to be common in people with Fibromyalgia. Yeast overgrowth weakens the immune system, places additional stress on the body, which in turn causes the muscles to contract, causing pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The protease enzymes improve absorption of protein which is needed for tissue repair. They also reduce inflammation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: Regarding nutritional help in addition to the Pops, that would depend on your biochemical profile. Do you have a nutritionist who could give you some guidance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delighted that the Pops have helped you." - Best regards, Dr. Heidi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Note: Dr. Heidi Dulay has an Ed.D. from Harvard University and an M.S. from Stanford Business School. She's the designer of The Pops and creator of the Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;__________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I just had to tell you about my first day on the Purple Pops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I received my order earlier this week, but unfortunately the Green Pops are on back order. So I was going to wait until I got them to start, but I decided to go ahead and try the Purple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I took one about 10 am, right before I headed out to Physical Therapy. I noticed a difference in how I felt the very first hour! I don't quite know how to describe it. Sort of like a renewed sense of well-being. Sometimes I just drag thru the physical therapy exercises, but today I felt great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I went to lie down at the regular nap time, around 2 pm, and just tossed and turned for a while. After a while, I thought, this is ridiculous, I don't need a nap today, and I got up, got dressed, and drove in to the beach. I walked on the boardwalk, walked out on the fishing pier (really enjoyed that) and then sat down on a bench and people-watched for a while, taking in all the wonderful salt air breezes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's the first time in the whole year that I've lived here that I ever drove in to Ocean City in the evening (and it's only 5 miles!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And get this: I didn't even buy any Thrashers French Fries or caramel corn! I had a big salad for lunch, and just wasn't hungry this evening. Can you believe it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Just had to let you know...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Beverly A. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;__________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have a confession to make. In addition to my problems in my marriage and with depression, I'm also an alcoholic. I took my last drink of beer on Monday Sept 22 and began outpatient sessions at a local treatment center on Wednesday Sept 23."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I had been on the Greens for two weeks and I believe they helped me make my decision to stop. I'm still taking my Greens, but also had to take some doctor prescribed medication to help me through detox - the second day was the worst."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I feel better, both mentally and physically. When I looked at myself in the mirror this morning, my eyes were bright - no dark circles - and I didn't notice the strain that had started showing constantly on my face."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I truly believe the Greens are helping me to help myself.

By all rights, I should be pushing up daises.  Fourteen years ago, I had a long list of serious ailments.  It was so bad my family considered a full-time nurse. I just hoped for some sort of a normal life for whatever time I had left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time I was seventy-five years old, I had several degenerative diseases that accompany advanced years.  I had osreoporosis in my spine, which compressed two and a half inches in two painful places. Conventional hormone therapy eased the pain, but brought on hypothyroidism, fibrocystic breast disease, and my hair fell out alarmingly.  My skin and nails dried up and fatigue sapped my energy. My finger joints locked up and gradually,  I lost bladder control and had to use Depends®.  Since my muscles cramped at night, I had trouble sleeping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then one day a friend began to educate me about health and nutrition, so I decided to take charge of my own health. I changed my diet, started juicing, added whole-food  nutritional supplements to my daily routine. When I made the changes, my energy returned in a week.  Within four days my muscles stopped cramping at night.  My joints stopped locking up and I could squat again.  After three months, I lost twenty pounds and my bladder control returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I began a different hormone therapy, using natural progesterone, the breast disease simply went away!  Most thrilling was that the new bone density test reported no osteoporosis in the hip or in the spine!  Bone density had increased.  The hypothyroid condition normalized.  New growth thickened my hair with brown hair again, due to the natural progesterone, which also keeps me from having hot flashes at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now have a new body!  I have new bones, new organs, new joints and new skin and hair. I have energy and endurance that enables me to keep up with my four children and nine grandchildren. Yes, it took two years; but gradually, I turned my health around - and never did get that nurse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SBFHPsyFG-I/AAAAAAAABFQ/XqFeSzs8fbk/s1600-h/Paul_Mrs_Gravely_2003_cropped.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SBFHPsyFG-I/AAAAAAAABFQ/XqFeSzs8fbk/s200/Paul_Mrs_Gravely_2003_cropped.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193010180379712482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what about you?  Being sick and tired is not the natural process to getting older. Once we understand the principle of cell health, the whole concept of disease prevention and cure makes sense.  Doctors are wonderful for emergencies, but they can't go home with us and monitor our eating, exercise and eliminate habits.  We are responsible for our own health and now, at last, we can really do something about it.  Hooray!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about taking charge of your own health.  You'll be glad you did.  Your health experience can radically change for the better.  God bless you on your health journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your good health,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Janice Gravely&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Janice Gravely is a graduate of UCLA where she received her degree in English.

First of all, our soil is not as nutrient dense as it once was. Second of all, I don't know anyone that eats perfectly every single day, and at every single occasion, and is never under any form of stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drinking alcohol, stress, and eating white refined foods actually depletes our bodies of vital nutrients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most importantly though a high quality whole foods multi is a great "insurance policy" that all of our necessary vitamin and mineral cofactors are always topped off for optimal biochemical functioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most patients I recommend a standard wellness program that includes a whole-food multi, Omega 3 oils, enzymes, probiotics, and glucosamine for older and more active folks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nice thing about The Pops&lt;/span&gt;™&lt;span&gt; whole-food multi is it comes complete with enzymes and probiotics, so my wellness program just got that much simpler. I don't know about you, but I hate taking pills, so prefer efficiency when at all possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without vitamins and minerals, our bodies can't do the work they need to do each day. Most people aren't actually deficient in one or two nutrients, most people are deficient in a myriad of nutrients. What they're &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; deficient in is nutrition, and that deficiency of whole food nutrition is compounded by the fact that most Americans are not properly digesting (absorbing) their nutrients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Why are The Pops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;™&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; a great choice?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    Potent antioxidants. The formulators of this product have smartly taken all of nature's finest superfoods and placed them in to two blends. In the morning, an energizing/weight loss/antioxidant herbal blend or Purple Pops. In the evening, a calming herbal food blend found in the Green Pops. Antioxidants are the foundation to every healing and anti-aging program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    What &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Pops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;™ &lt;span&gt;don't have: No food coloring. No sugar. No synthetic product stabilizers. No binders (easily avoided by purchasing only capsules). Regardless of what multivitamin you choose to use, you should &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;never&lt;/span&gt; be taking a daily dose of these artificial chemicals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    Natural vitamins. These are not synthetic vitamins, or even vitamins isolated from foods. These are whole-food nutrient concentrates, brought to us by nature's finest superfoods. They're in the form that nature intends that we take them. With that being said, be sure to take this supplement with food so that the vitamins and minerals can be properly digested and utilized.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    More than just vitamins. Do you get confused about the latest new hot nutrient that scientists have "just discovered"? Well these nutrients have existed in nature for centuries, and just because a scientist discovers them in a lab, doesn't mean we need to suddenly start taking them in a high dose supplement. We should be taking these healing plant pigments, cofactors and coenzymes in our food on a daily basis. If we don't eat perfectly, we should supplement with a whole-food multi, not one containing only the vitamins scientists are currently capable of recognizing. Twenty years ago, we only recognized about twenty vitamins and minerals as "essential". The best way to ensure you have everything in your system that is "essential" is to take a whole-food multivitamin, or start juicing. Or if you really want to feel awesome-BOTH!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    Enzymes aid digestion. You aren't just getting whole-food nutrients, you are getting plant enzymes that will help you digest, break down, and absorb your food better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    Probiotics. Acidophilus helps us digest our food, metabolize hormones and vitamins, and is killed off by antibiotic use. Most cooked and processed foods we eat are deficient in probiotics. It is vital to our health that we supplement them daily or consume in yogurt, kim chee, sauerkraut, kefir and other fermented foods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    You Need Greens! Have you had 2-3 servings of leafy green vegetables today? Greens are important because they are rich in magnesium. The chloryphyll molecule is shaped just like the hemoglobin in our red blood cells. The only difference is an iron molecule sits in the middle of the hemoglobin ring, and magnesium sits in the center of a chlorophyll ring. This is why all green foods are particularly healing to those on the Standard American Diet (SAD). The SAD diet is deficient in minerals such as magnesium found in green foods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    You Need Purples! If you peruse all of my treatment plans, you will see a cup of frozen blueberries a day is recommended pretty consistently throughout. Blueberries are a featured food on the anti-inflammatory diet. In addition to fighting inflammation, purple plant pigments known as proanthocyanins are especially healing to the skin, blood vessels, and cardiovascular system. Be sure to eat a cup of purple/red/blue foods everyday!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    Capsules NOT Tablets: To form tablets, natural ingredients have to be attached to binders and mechanically pressed in to a tablet. This may alter their molecular stability and thus efficacy. Avoid tablets and take capsules. You will have to take a couple more capsules to equate what is super-compressed in tablets, but it is well worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;    Great Company Business Model. You know something is good when you ask to try it for free and the company is happy to send you free samples. A company confident in their product knows you will become a customer, and they were right. This is the multivitamin I have chosen to take myself every day. I also signed up for their mailings, and couldn't agree more with the great advice from the Harvard grads that put The Pops&lt;/span&gt;™&lt;span&gt; together. I typically find companies that oversell annoying. However, the weekly newsletters from the founders of Whole Food Nation&lt;/span&gt;™&lt;span&gt; are clearly designed to educate. A good product sells itself, and the formulators of this whole-food multivitamin are smart enough to know that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So are you ready to become a Pops customer?

A few years later, a &lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/11/wiffle-ball-in-heaven.html"&gt;friend&lt;/a&gt; of mine died of leukemia when he was only thirty-two years old, leaving behind a wife who was eight months pregnant. Then my &lt;a href="http://www.pauleilers.com/" target="_blank"&gt;father&lt;/a&gt; died of cancer after being on oxygen for eight years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a friend who is now ninety-two years old. But when she was seventy-five, Mrs. Gravely's health was so bad her family considered a full-time nurse. Then one day, a friend educated her about health and nutrition. So she changed her diet and added whole-food nutritional supplements to her daily routine. It took two years, but gradually &lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/i-never-did-get-that-nurse-by-janice.html"&gt;Mrs. Gravely&lt;/a&gt; turned her health around - and never did get that nurse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years later, I got married. When I first met &lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/how-my-eyesight-was-restored-by-laura.html"&gt;Laura&lt;/a&gt;, she wore glasses. She had to wear them to drive, go to the movies or watch a game. Then we started juicing and taking nutritional supplements. About a year later, to our surprise, she no longer needed to wear glasses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After seeing what happened to my grandad, friend and dad, I decided I didn't want to end up like that. So when I saw Mrs. Gravely turn her health around and my wife's eyesight restored, I knew I had found my answer. That's how I came to believe nutrition matters and makes a difference in our health. Since that time, I've been reading and studying about health and nutrition. Whenever I see something I like, I post it on my health &lt;a href="http://www.paulshealthblog.com/" target="_blank"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 8px 3px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/So3DmfDMCVI/AAAAAAAADsY/927JvIBsWMA/s400/Brady_Paul_ECU_Headshot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372164996460185938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;My wife and I have been  married for  ten years. We  have a  son, Brady, who is two years old. Though we're not always perfect, we try to do everything we can to be around as he grows up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why we take &lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;The Pops™&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.paulshealthblog.com/2009/06/introducing-big-b-vitamin-b-natural.html" target="_blank"&gt;Big B™&lt;/a&gt;.

That means primarily vegetables, fruits, herbs or spices, not isolated vitamins or minerals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A whole-food multi is for people who believe nutrition matters... That our busy lives, chronic stress, lack of exercise, depleted soil, and polluted environments require more nutrition than we get in the food we eat... And that multivitamins are largely useless and even risky. People who believe nutrition matters take whole-food multis as an insurance formula against possible deficiency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A whole-food supplement is made by taking a nutrient-rich plant like broccoli, removing the water and fiber, making it a powder, then encapsulating it or pressing it into tablets. All the nutrients in the plant remain intact, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes and other nutrients, many of which are still unknown to research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whole food multis do not list amounts of vitamins or minerals because the value of the ingredients is not in amounts. It's in the synergy or interaction among the hundreds of nutrients contained in the ingredients, all working together. Functional medicine research is showing that very small amounts of a wide array of natural nutrients is usually more beneficial than large amounts of isolated nutrients. The body uses them more easily. Further, there is a cooperation between certain vitamins and minerals, promoting absorption. Correcting a deficiency in one vitamin/mineral requires the addition of others, not simply replacement of the deficient one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some nutrients are often included in a whole-food multi to amp up the effectiveness of the whole food blend. These can be absorbed because they are packed in with the whole foods. For example, alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant that amps up the effect of the hundreds of antioxidants found in the veggies and fruits in Pop-a-Purple and Pop-a-Green.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A whole food multi is "a dose of good nutrition in a capsule," says Dr. Mary Schaffer, from M&lt;a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 107px; height: 63px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SWEDh3ueEJI/AAAAAAAACy8/cATuiEUvUsg/s400/WFN-logo-tomato.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287511317939097746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ill Valley, California, about Pop-A-Purple and Pop-A-Green, which she recommends to her patients and takes herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-7633297445335618955?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/7633297445335618955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/7633297445335618955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/what-is-whole-food-multi.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SWEEwO_Ib-I/AAAAAAAACzE/rY2dnMuxnag/s72-c/WFNpops.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-3513441597272836674</id><published>2008-12-14T22:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T20:36:17.060-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What People Are Saying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"Since I've been taking the Pops, I've had a huge decrease in muscular pain with my fibromyalgia." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jana Zaloum, Kansas City, Missouri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In the first week I wasn't napping during the day anymore, and I wasn't crashing when I got home.

He raged so bad that we had to call the cops. No one in the house got any sleep that night. I thought I would have to drink coffee all day to stay awake at my job the next day. Instead, I took a Purple every 3 hours. My energy stayed up and I was surprised not to have any emotional effects from the night before. So now, each time life gets crazy on me, I follow the same routine, popping a Purple every 3 hours or so - to keep going and take the edge off. On normal days I only take a couple of Purples in the morning and a couple of Greens at night." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vicki Link, Petaluma, CA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I know The Pops™ has helped me remain healthy and strong while working in a physically demanding career for more than 30 years.

My eye doctor said the vison wouldn't return. I made some lifestyle changes and started taking The Pops™. After six months, a vision test showed that twenty percent of my vision has come back. - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jacqueline Freeman, Battleground, Washington&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Pops™ seems to help whatever can be helped by a dose of good nutrition." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mary Schaffer, D.C., Mill Valley, California&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Over the years I have done a lot of reading and purchased several different health supplements, and we have enjoyed benefits from each of them. But I have never seen a product with such a broad range of whole foods, enzymes, and beneficial flora. Now I can get my 5 to 9 servings of vegetables every day, without the carbs and calories." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Terry Burkett, Winsted, Minnesota&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"I started taking The Pops™ about six months ago. My face used to break out real bad all the time and then I noticed about a month after I started taking them that my skin cleared up - big time. I forgot to take them for a few weeks and I started breaking out again. Seems like as long as I remember to take them that my skin stays clear." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Michael Cotter, 16 years old, Petaluma, California&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think the Pops, especially the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Greens&lt;/span&gt;, are balancing out my hormones. Now I can usuallly sleep through the night instead of waking up at 3 or 4:00 a.m. and lying awake for at least an hour, then be completely worn out the next day. That's probably why I feel addicted to the Greens - they're like a sleeping pill for me..." - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Camille Paul, Seattle, Washington &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember. I could eat a plateful of cookies and a bowlful of candy at one sitting. I tried different diets and vitamins to break me from the habit but nothing seemed to work. Then I tried &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pop A Purple&lt;/span&gt; and I noticed within a few weeks that I quit craving the sweets ...and I lost 15 pounds the first year without trying. Now I can have sweets when I want to, and stop when I want to. It feels good to be in control for the first time." &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Stephen Frerich, St. Cloud, Minnesota&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I used to dread hearing the alarm go off a 6 am and I'd always try to grab a few more minutes under the covers. The morning after I started taking &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pop-A-Green&lt;/span&gt;, my eyes flew open at 5 AM and I felt I just had to get up. I've tried a lot of vitamins and supplements over the years, but this experience was new to me. I continued popping the Greens and kept waking up alert at 5 AM. It's been a year now, and no more alarm.

Their study showed that people who did not get enough nutrition were at an increased risk of disease, including heart disease and cancer.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)  Co-factors, which are found mainly in vegetables, are crucial for absorbing nutrition from food, making fuel for energy, neutralizing stress, and aging gracefully. Not having enough co-factors in your diet can result in inflammation and joint pain, cause the immune system to start misfiring, the skin to break out in unsightly acne, lesions and scabs. Soon, diseases can emerge, like allergies, arthritis, acne, osteoporosis, lupus, even cancer and heart disease.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)  &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/023401.html" target="_blank"&gt;Cooking&lt;/a&gt; at temperatures over 120 degrees kills practically all of the nutrition in most foods.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4)  &lt;a href="http://pauleilers.blogspot.com/2008/01/fruit-and-veggies-eaters-have-fewer.html" target="_blank"&gt;72 percent of doctors and 89 percent of nurses&lt;/a&gt; personally use vitamin, mineral, herbal and other supplements either regularly, occasionally or seasonally.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5)  It is often cheaper to supplement than to buy nutritious food, especially out-of-season fresh produce. In order to get enough vitamin C, you would need to consume several dozen oranges a day. Not only is this impractical, few people can afford it.&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6)  Virtually every popular diet plan, unsupplemented, is nutrient deficient. While vitamin supplements do not produce weight loss, people trying to lose weight can reduce cravings with concentrated nutrition.&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7)  An estimated 100 million Americans have some type of digestive disorder. So even when nutritious food is consumed, the nutrients are not adequately being absorbed by the body.&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8)  Women using oral contraceptives have lower levels of B-vitamins, (especially B-6, B-3 niacin, B-1 thiamin, B-2 riboflavin, B-12), folic acid and vitamin C.&lt;sup&gt;8&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9)  More than one-third of Americans do not get enough vitamin C in their diet. Just 500 mg daily of vitamin C results in a 42 percent lower risk of death from heart disease and a 35 percent lower risk of death from any cause.&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10)  Kids who eat hot dogs once a week double their risk of a brain tumor. Kids eating more than twelve hot dogs a month have nearly ten times the risk of leukemia as children who ate none. However, hot-dog eating children taking supplemental vitamins were shown to have a reduced risk of cancer.&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11)  The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;New England Journal of Medicine&lt;/span&gt; had two articles showing that persons taking vitamin E supplements had an approximately 40% reduction in cardiovascular disease. Nearly 40,000 men and 87,000 women took part in the studies. The more vitamin E they took, and the longer they took it, the less cardiovascular disease they experienced. Yet from diet alone, it is literally impossible to get enough vitamin E for optimum health. A daily intake of 100 to 400 IU of vitamin E is needed to prevent cardiovascular disease. Most people do not even get 30 IU of vitamin E a day. In fact, most get only 17 IU daily.&lt;sup&gt;11&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12)  People who eat a balanced diet still do not get enough adequate nutrition for optimum health. According to the 1992 Earth Summit, 85 percent of vital minerals have been depleted from the North American soil. As far back as 1936, the U.S. Senate issued Document 246, which says the impoverished soil in the U.S. no longer provides plant foods with the necessary minerals needed for human nourishment.&lt;sup&gt;12&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) Low levels of magnesium are known to cause sudden cardiac death, hardening of the arteries, increases inflammation in the body, makes the heart muscle irritable, and can cause seizures. Yet one study shows that 75 percent of normal people are deficient in magnesium - 50 percent severely. Even scarier, a Gallop Poll shows that the vast majority of Americans, 86 percent, were not aware of the daily requirement of magnesium at all.&lt;sup&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) One of the most concise studies on the ability of fruits and vegetables to prevent cancer used the best 200+ human and 22 animal cases available. The conclusion was that eating five servings of fruits and vegetables daily reduced cancer incidence by fifty percent. For some cancers, the reduction was seventy-five percent. On the other side of the coin, deficiencies in certain nutrients have been shown to increase cancer risk anywhere from 200 to 1,600 percent. Yet &lt;a href="http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2002pres/20020425.html" target="_blank"&gt;70 percent of all adults and children&lt;/a&gt; do not eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day.&lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15) Most Americans do not get even basic, recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals. Research shows 93 percent have inadequate intakes of vitamin E, 75 percent do not meet recommendations for calcium intake, 44 percent are lacking adequate intake of vitamin A, and 73 percent do not get adequate intake of vitamin K. And that's the short list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So do you still think we're getting proper levels of nutrition?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Bottom Line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whole-food nutritional supplements make any dietary lifestyle, whether good or bad, significantly better. They are quick, easy and affordable. Why not put the odds for good health in your favor?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, not all supplements are created equal. Some are created in a lab, while others are made from food. Synthetic supplements create chemical imbalances within the cells, resulting in an increased risk of disease and even premature death. This &lt;a href="http://www.howsafeareyourvitamins.com/" target="_blank"&gt;study&lt;/a&gt; shows why it is critical  to use the right kind of supplements. Otherwise, you're better off taking nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why my family and I take and recommend  whole-food multis from Whole Food Nation™. No matter what, make sure your supplements are made from food. Your body knows exactly what to do with the nutrients and there are no side effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;References&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;1.

We can pop a Purple or Green with whatever we eat, to enhance it or reduce its damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dad Never Thought It Would Happen To Him&lt;/span&gt; - In high school my &lt;a href="http://www.pauleilers.com" target="_blank"&gt;father&lt;/a&gt; was an athlete, a football All-American. He never imagined he would one day be sick and disabled. Yet the last eight years of his life he was hooked up to an oxygen machine, before dying of cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How I Came To Believe Nutrition Matters&lt;/span&gt; - I have a friend who is now eighty-nine years old. But when she was seventy-five, Mrs. Gravely's health was so bad her family considered a full-time nurse. Then one day, a friend educated her about health and nutrition. So she changed her diet and added whole-food nutritional supplements to her daily routine. It took two years, but gradually Mrs. Gravely turned her health around - and &lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/i-never-did-get-that-nurse-by-janice.html"&gt;never did get that nurse&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;She No Longer Needs To Wear Glasses&lt;/span&gt; - "In 1991, through a routine eye exam, &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SaQuVU_eCyI/AAAAAAAADDU/P_NhhTVPHAI/s1600-h/PaulandLaura_120808_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 2px 2px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 87px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SaQuVU_eCyI/AAAAAAAADDU/P_NhhTVPHAI/s400/PaulandLaura_120808_1.jpg" alt="PurpleGreenPops.com" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306417204896336674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I discovered I was nearsighted. I had to start wearing glasses to drive, to go to the theater, or watch a sporting event. In 1999, I married Paul and he introduced me to juicing and whole-food nutritional supplements. A year later, to my surprise, I found that &lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/how-my-eyesight-was-restored-by-laura.html"&gt;I no longer needed to wear glasses&lt;/a&gt;. It's good not having to hassle with them anymore."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-7108925858615760592?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/7108925858615760592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/7108925858615760592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/why-we-take-pops.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SaQtfwL10MI/AAAAAAAADDM/Ae4fD9IIpaY/s72-c/Laura+%26+Paul+Halloween+2001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-5498485640414514845</id><published>2008-12-10T19:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T11:45:32.048-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I'll assume that you are health-conscious - you do not eat at McDonald's regularly, and know that pizza, chips, sodas and candy are fattening.

I first noticed a problem while driving at night. It seemed like I was experiencing double-vision. So I went to an eye doctor and was told that I was nearsighted. I don't remember what my prescription was but the doctor told me I would need glasses to drive, go to the theater or any outside sporting events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I was now wearing glasses, I had to go to the optometrist every two years to have my eyes checked. Sometimes my eyesight was worse, while other times it would be the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight years later, Paul and I married and he introduced me to juicing and taking whole-food supplements. I had never juiced before in my life, so I was not eager to jump on board. After watching him juice for a month or two, I decided to try it. I discovered I actually liked the taste of carrot juice (Green Giant carrots are my favorite). We juiced carrots almost every day (5 to 6 days a week).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year and a half later, while driving to work one day, I noticed that my vision was blurry. I hadn't been to the optometrist for a couple of years so I naturally thought my eyesight had gotten worse. But for the heck of it, I took my glasses off to see how things looked. I found I could actually see better with my glasses off! I haven't worn them since (it's been 8 years now).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I credit the recovery of my eyesight to our juicing regimen as well as taking whole-food supplements. I haven't gone to the optometrist to have my eyes checked, but I'm sure they are 20/20. We are still juicing a blend of carrots, apples, celery and tomatoes as well as taking The Pops. Paul and I believe this is one of the foundations to good health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-2524320141769521380?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2524320141769521380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2524320141769521380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/how-my-eyesight-was-restored-by-laura.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SaQwaKica1I/AAAAAAAADDc/24kjo8cMQmQ/s72-c/Laura+Winter+2001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-1361138784884914150</id><published>2008-12-05T09:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T11:46:13.829-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;One Way To Prevent Colds and The Flu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="" href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 2px 2px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 148px; height: 172px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SV5VVtt1XtI/AAAAAAAACyc/kskYVu31t_0/s400/20071025_coldflu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286756844116991698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Have you ever wondered why colds and the flu always seem to show up during the holiday season? There are some startling statistics that may shed a little light on the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Dr. Neil Nedley, MD, in his book, Proof Positive, (pp. 183-184) researchers performed a series of studies that examined how refined sugar consumption weakens the ability of white blood cells to destroy bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The studies showed that the capacity for white blood cells to destroy bacteria is weakened as sugar consumption rises. If a person consumed no sugar for twelve hours, each white blood cell could destroy an average of fourteen bacteria. If that same individual ate the equivalent of six teaspoons of sugar (such as found in a half-cup of pudding or a mere two pieces of candy) each white blood cell could only eliminate ten bacteria; a twenty-five percent decrease in killing power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Progressive deterioration in the white cells' bacteria fighting capacities beyond twenty-five percent occurred when twelve teaspoons and then eighteen teaspoons were ingested. When twenty-four teaspoons of sugar were consumed, the amount in a medium piece of cheesecake or a milk shake, the white blood cells were so compromised that they could only destroy an average of one bacterium each. That represents a ninety-two percent reduction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Impairing Effects on White Blood Cells Not Short-Lived&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The researchers further demonstrated that sugar's impairing effects on white blood cells are not short-lived. The impairment lasted a full five hours in normal subjects. This means that during that five-hour period, the white blood cells could not perform optimally. When you consider how often most people consume sugar, especially during the holiday season, it becomes quite apparent why the frequency of colds and the flu increase, as their white blood cells cease to function effectively for many hours during the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These researchers also discovered an interesting side note: a thirty-six hour fast seemed to significantly increase the ability of the white blood cells to kill off bacteria. If you do become sick and are not hungry, it may be to your advantage to avoid eating, or at least to eat very sparingly for a day or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related Article: &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080903080858.htm" target="_blank"&gt;"Substance Found In Fruits And Vegetables Reduces Likelihood Of The Flu"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-1361138784884914150?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/1361138784884914150'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/1361138784884914150'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/one-way-to-fight-colds-and-flu.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SV5VVtt1XtI/AAAAAAAACyc/kskYVu31t_0/s72-c/20071025_coldflu.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-166550324822879678</id><published>2008-12-04T09:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T18:06:54.368-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;a style="" href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 107px; height: 63px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SW--2mF9aHI/AAAAAAAAC4E/qerU9tND-bk/s400/WFN-logo-tomato.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291657932331378802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Articles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/how-safe-are-your-vitamins.html"&gt;How Safe Are Your Vitamins?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/why-supplement.html"&gt;Why Supplement?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/what-is-whole-food-multi.html"&gt;What Is A Whole-Food Multi?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/i-never-did-get-that-nurse-by-janice.html"&gt;"I Never Did Get That Nurse"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/why-we-take-pops.html"&gt;Why We Take The Pops™&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/3-percent-of-americans-live-healthy.html"&gt;3 Percent of Americans Live a Healthy Lifestyle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/do-your-vitamins-end-up-in-your-septic.html"&gt;Do Your Vitamins End Up In Your Septic Tank?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2009/02/more-about-pops.html"&gt;More About The Pops™&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/one-way-to-fight-colds-and-flu.html"&gt;One Way To Prevent Colds and The Flu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/main-reasons-for-colds-and-flu.html"&gt;The Main Reasons For Colds and The Flu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/01/flu-shot-proven-to-be-ineffective-again.html"&gt;Flu Shot Proven To Be Ineffective.

   Nine daily servings of fruits and veggies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Avoid sugar&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Enough rest and sleep&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Lower stress levels&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Higher intake of omega-3 fats&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Exercise regularly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Regular hand washing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Whole food supplements&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;In addition, a runny nose is a sign that the immune system is working to rid your body of something. Most colds only last a few days and usually your body can handle them if you have not been abusing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, antibiotics do nothing for colds as they do not touch viruses. Instead, vitamin C can be used as an antibiotic. However, make sure you take enough to the point of saturation. You'll know you've saturated your body with enough vitamin C when you start having diarrhea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't wait until you get sick before you do something about it. Choose to stay well. You'll be glad you did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-5150915430551485067?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/5150915430551485067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/5150915430551485067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/main-reasons-for-colds-and-flu.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-2760922325280792647</id><published>2008-12-02T09:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-02T09:04:29.334-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Contact Us&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SXAdVOY7wSI/AAAAAAAAC40/TbZdtbIyWzU/s400/Paul.jpg" alt="Paul in Office" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291761812637466914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(501) 513-0606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Paul Eilers - 31 Timothy Lane, Conway, Arkansas 72034&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:paulfeilers@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" alt="Contact Paul Eilers" src="http://paulfeilers.googlepages.com/email.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-2760922325280792647?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2760922325280792647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2760922325280792647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2009/01/contact.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SXAdVOY7wSI/AAAAAAAAC40/TbZdtbIyWzU/s72-c/Paul.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-218882728884268658</id><published>2008-12-01T09:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T11:52:38.413-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Is Eating Right Enough?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our problems started with the Industrial Revolution as people moved off farms and into cities to work in factories. The challenge to feed all of these people led to the birth of commercial farming and the processed food industry. This has led to less nutrition in our foods. The problem is so bad that in 1998 the National Academy of Sciences announced that those who eat plenty of fruits and vegetables are not getting all the vitamins and minerals needed for good health.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Current methods used to grow and get produce from farms to supermarkets creates food that doesn't have enough nutrition. Commercial farming depletes the soil of essential minerals. Crops are often harvested before they're ripe and stored for long periods of time. More harm is done in order to give the produce longer shelf life, better taste and a healthy appearance. The end result? Fruits and vegetables that look and taste good - but doesn't have enough nutrition. So your "balanced diet" is robbed of vitamins and minerals that you believe you're consuming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, when you eat an apple, it has one-fifth of the nutrition of an apple fifty years ago. You would need to eat up to five times the amount of food your grandparents did just to receive the same nutritional value. Also compare the data from the USDA handbook from 1972 to the USDA food tables of today and you'll see dramatic reductions in nutrient content. For example, nearly half the calcium and vitamin A in broccoli have disappeared. The vitamin A content in collard greens has fallen to nearly half its previous levels. Cauliflower lost half of its vitamin C. Potassium dropped from 400 mg to 170 mg and magnesium fell from 57 mg to only 9 mg. These nutrient losses significantly impact your health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Too little of our food, virtually none for many people, is eaten raw. Cooking at temperatures over 120 degrees kills practically all of the nutrition in most foods. So most people are trying to achieve the impossible - maintain health while eating food that does not support health. The four worst food choices of sugar, processed oils, white flour, and milk products, as well as the thousands of products containing these foods, make up most of the average American diet - and are devastating to your health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In June of 2002, a landmark study in the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Journal of the American Medical&lt;/span&gt; Association, using thirty-six years of data, concluded that everyone needs daily supplements - regardless of age or health. They concluded that people who did not get enough nutrition were at an increased risk of disease, including heart disease and cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;"Insufficient vitamin and mineral intake is apparently a cause of chronic disease…&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone.&lt;/span&gt; Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;American Medical Association&lt;br /&gt;June 19, 2002&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's almost impossible to be healthy without supplementing your regular diet. As mentioned above, all foods are not necessarily created equal.

Drinking at least eight servings (8 oz.) of water each day will increase your energy and help you metabolize fat easier. Toddlers should drink two to three ounces of water per hour and older children should drink four to six ounces per hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the significant benefits of water is that it can help ease back and joint pain for eighty percent of those individuals who suffer. In fact, only five servings of water a day help reduce colon cancer by forty-five percent and cut the risk of bladder cancer by fifty percent. Not to mention it can cut your chances of breast cancer by seventy-nine percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start the day out with a pitcher of water filled with your target amount. Then, you will be able to see exactly the amount you have drunk by the end of the day. Drinking sparkling water with a twist of lemon or lime is a great way to get your water when you are dining out or at a party. And remember to always take a bottle of water with you when traveling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drinking eight glasses of water a day suddenly doesn't seem so bad, especially considering the health benefits you'll gain now and in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-1164819668942623797?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/1164819668942623797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/1164819668942623797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/is-this-reason-youre-tired.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SXAkInwZT4I/AAAAAAAAC48/198jxha53vU/s72-c/asleep-at-desk.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-5068632044258976330</id><published>2008-11-29T09:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-26T12:15:36.290-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Could This Be The Reason You're Tired?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SGf3GVYhnxI/AAAAAAAABfg/4OjQkRGHbgE/s1600-h/tired_husband.jpg%20TARGET=" _blank=""&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 5px 5px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 190px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SGf3GVYhnxI/AAAAAAAABfg/4OjQkRGHbgE/s320/tired_husband.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217410381523296018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;By eating mostly raw fruits and vegetables as well as nuts and grains, it only takes 50% of the energy you have to run your digestive processes. Your body then has control over the remaining 50% of your energy. But if you eat mostly cooked or processed foods, your digestive processes will use &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;up to 80%&lt;/span&gt; of all the produced energy. This only leaves 20% available to your body for walking, talking, seeing, etc. and do body repair work plus get rid of waste and other bodily functions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could this be the reason you get tired? Do you suppose that might be the reason your immune system is weak and you have allergies or get sick easily? If your body doesn't have enough energy to get rid of toxins, it stores them as fat. Could this be one reason why many Americans have excess weight? Instead of storing energy in the liver and muscles, their bodies store up toxins.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-5068632044258976330?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/5068632044258976330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/5068632044258976330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/could-this-be-reason-youre-tired.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SGf3GVYhnxI/AAAAAAAABfg/4OjQkRGHbgE/s72-c/tired_husband.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-1514240209516643001</id><published>2008-11-28T09:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-26T12:16:01.489-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 107px; height: 63px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SW_spDt3pSI/AAAAAAAAC4U/4rOJ8S9BtHc/s400/WFN-logo-tomato.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291708277300110626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Free Reports&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.howsafeareyourvitamins.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Are Your Vitamins Safe?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wholefoodnation.com/cmd.php?Clk=2469452" target="_blank"&gt;The Truth About Weight Loss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-1514240209516643001?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/1514240209516643001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/1514240209516643001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2009/01/free-reports.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SW_spDt3pSI/AAAAAAAAC4U/4rOJ8S9BtHc/s72-c/WFN-logo-tomato.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-6058823638113843054</id><published>2008-11-27T08:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T11:53:45.108-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;One Way To Boost Your Energy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever wonder why you struggle to stay awake throughout the day, especially in the afternoons? Do you ever get tired and sleepy after eating lunch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can lose up to eighty percent of your energy trying to digest poor meals. When you eat nutritious meals, your digestive system does not strain to consume meals and you will have energy left over for other activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you eat a meal high in fats, such as fried foods, potato chips, french fries, or cheese, it destroys the B vitamins in your body and causes fatigue. This is due to the sludging of your blood. The fats from your meal enter the blood stream and immediately coat your circulating blood cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blood cells normally bounce off each other and are flexible enough to bend and twist through the smallest blood vessels, taking blood to all the cells in all the tissues. Once coated with fat, however, they lose that essential elasticity. They clump together and become almost rigid. This lowers oxygen supply to your blood and worsens circulation to your tissues, especially your brain, causing you to feel sluggish and sleepy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-6058823638113843054?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/6058823638113843054'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/6058823638113843054'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/one-way-to-boost-your-energy.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-8739576023341435301</id><published>2008-11-26T08:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T11:54:24.780-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Do Fruits and Veggies Help Prevent Cancer?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SXAnrqzVcqI/AAAAAAAAC5M/OxvUkIq-LNg/s1600-h/FruitsAndVeggies.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 5px 5px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 179px; height: 135px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SXAnrqzVcqI/AAAAAAAAC5M/OxvUkIq-LNg/s400/FruitsAndVeggies.jpg" alt="Fruits and Veggies" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291773193337795234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Just three servings a month of raw broccoli or cabbage can reduce the risk of bladder cancer by as much as forty percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These amazing findings were reported this week by researchers from the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Roswell Park Cancer Institute&lt;/span&gt; in Buffalo, New York, at the American Association of Cancer Research in Philadelphia. These foods and others in the crucifer family, like arugula, bok choy, beet greens, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, chard, collard greens, kale, radishes, turnips and watercress, contain many cancer-fighting chemicals, some of which are inactivated by cooking. This is why raw foods are superior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same conference, a team of researchers from Ohio State University reported that feeding patients freeze dried blackberries substantially reduced markers of cancer found in the patients' urine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is this: Raw fruits and vegetables contain nutrients that both prevent and reverse cancer. Unfortunately, our modern, nutrient-depleted foods no longer contain sufficient nutrients for us to stay healthy. According to the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;National Academy of Sciences&lt;/span&gt;, it is no longer possible to get all the nutrition we need - even if we eat a good diet. Supplementation is necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what if you don't even eat right at all? That's why we created The Pops - fruit and veggie nutrients in capsules - from Whole Food Nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSN0732405020071207" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-8739576023341435301?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/8739576023341435301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/8739576023341435301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/do-fruits-and-veggies-help-prevent.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SXAnrqzVcqI/AAAAAAAAC5M/OxvUkIq-LNg/s72-c/FruitsAndVeggies.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-2959146242055129670</id><published>2008-11-25T08:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T12:00:55.657-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Can Sudden Cardiac Death Be Prevented?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I subscribe to &lt;a href="http://www.blaylockreport.com/" target="blank"&gt;The Blaylock Wellness Report&lt;/a&gt;. It is a monthly report by Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., and covers a variety of health related subjects, from vaccinations to cancer to heart disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read a recent Blaylock Report titled, "Can Sudden Cardiac Death Be Prevented?" I found several interesting facts, including this one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Almost as many Americans die of sudden cardiac death each year as died in combat during all of World War II.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Now, here is what I found to be most interesting. A list of risk factors includes a previous heart attack, diabetes, smoking, and obesity. In addition, the last risk factor listed is a magnesium deficiency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Blaylock Report, one study shows that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;75 percent of normal people are deficient in magnesium - 50 percent severely.&lt;/span&gt; Even scarier, a &lt;a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&amp;amp;STORY=/www/story/07-21-2004/0002215083&amp;amp;EDATE" target="blank"&gt;Gallop Poll&lt;/a&gt; shows that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the vast majority of Americans, 86 percent, were not aware of the daily requirement of magnesium at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;One way you significantly lower your magnesium levels is by drinking soft and diet drinks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to sudden cardiac death, low magnesium levels are also known to cause hardening of the arteries, increases inflammation in the body, makes the heart muscle irritable, and can cause seizures, among other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news? You can make sure you're getting enough magnesium every day through proper diet and supplementation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magnesium can be found widely in cereals and vegetables, including 100% bran cereals, avocados, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cashews, spinach, barley grass, alfalfa leaf, sesame seeds, oatmeal and potatoes (baked, with skin).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My family and I take and market a whole-food supplement called The Pops, from Whole Food Nation™. In particular, Pop-a-Green has twenty-five vegetables and food herbs, including spinach, barley leaf and alfalfa leaf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So reduce your risk of sudden cardiac death by among other things, getting enough magnesium in your diet every day. You'll not only beat the odds, but have more energy, vitality and overall good health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-2959146242055129670?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2959146242055129670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2959146242055129670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/can-sudden-cardiac-death-be-prevented.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-5144335453996785454</id><published>2008-11-24T08:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T12:01:46.882-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A Leading Cause of Bankruptcy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SGfwcPhVwnI/AAAAAAAABfY/CscUubLdrUM/s1600-h/bankruptcy.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 5px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 129px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SGfwcPhVwnI/AAAAAAAABfY/CscUubLdrUM/s320/bankruptcy.jpg" alt="Bankruptcy" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217403061325382258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;According to Reuters News Service, half of all U.S. bankruptcies are caused by soaring medical bills. Most of the people sent into debt by illness are middle-class workers with health insurance. The study, published in the journal &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Health Affairs&lt;/span&gt;, estimated that medical bankruptcies affect about two million people every year, if both debtors and their dependents, including about 700,000 children, are counted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our study is frightening. Unless you're Bill Gates you're just one serious illness away from bankruptcy," said Dr. David Himmelstein, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who led the study. "Most of the medically bankrupt were average Americans who happened to get sick. Health insurance offered little protection."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The researchers got the permission of bankruptcy judges in California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas to survey 931 people who filed for bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"About half cited medical causes, which indicates that 1.9 to 2.2 million Americans (filers plus dependents) experienced medical bankruptcy," they wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Among those whose illness led to bankruptcy, out-of-pocket costs averaged $11,854 since the start of illness; 75.7 percent had insurance at the onset of illness."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The average bankrupt person surveyed had spent $13,460 on co-payments, deductibles and uncovered services if they had private insurance. People with no insurance spent an average of $10,893 for such out-of-pocket expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Even middle-class insured families often fall prey to financial catastrophe when sick," the researchers wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bankruptcy specialists said the numbers seemed sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"From 1982 to 1989, I reviewed every bankruptcy petition filed in South Carolina, and during the period, I came to the conclusion that there were two major causes of bankruptcy: medical bills and divorce," said George Cauthen, a lawyer at Columbia-based law firm Nelson Mullins &amp;amp; Scarborough LLP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Each accounted, roughly, for about a third of all individual filings in South Carolina."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said fewer than 1 percent of all bankruptcy filings were due to credit card debt. "That is truly a myth," Cauthen said in a telephone interview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cathen said he was not surprised to hear that so many of the bankrupt people in the study were middle-class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Usually people who have something to protect file bankruptcy," he said. "The truly indigent - people that we see on the street - there is no relief that we can give them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, a Harvard associate professor and physician who advocates for universal health coverage, said the study supported demands for health reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Covering the uninsured isn't enough. We must also upgrade and guarantee continuous coverage for those who have insurance," Woolhandler said in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said many employers and politicians were pressing for what she called "stripped-down plans so riddled with co-payments, deductibles and exclusions that serious illness leads straight to bankruptcy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The article originally appeared in the Reuters News Service on February 2, 2005 and was written by Maggie Fox.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-5144335453996785454?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/5144335453996785454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/5144335453996785454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/12/leading-cause-of-bankruptcy.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SGfwcPhVwnI/AAAAAAAABfY/CscUubLdrUM/s72-c/bankruptcy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-7833242473855785540</id><published>2008-11-23T08:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T12:02:06.162-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Flu Shot Proven To Be Ineffective. Again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what? According to several articles and reports, the current flu shot doesn't work against the flu strain circulating this year. Again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a crap shoot. Every year the flu is caused by several hundred different agents, with a vaccine against just one or two of them. You're rolling the dice and hoping there's a match between the flu shot you get and the season's flu strain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've never had a flu shot and don't plan to get one any time soon. I believe most flu shots are no better than a placebo. If you're taking good care of yourself, I don't think a flu shot is necessary or will do you much good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how can you protect yourself from the flu?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Get enough vitamin D for strong immune function&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Regular (but not necessarily exhaustive) exercise&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Manage stress and get enough sleep&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Drink plenty of fluids, especially water&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Wash your hands with regular soap&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Finally, a strong immune system will identify a flu virus and take care of it. So stop hurting yourself by eating junk food, sugar and crap like that. Strengthen your immune system by eating nine or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day, so your immune system can do its job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a hard time consuming that much nutrition on a daily basis, then consider supplementation made from food. My family and I take a whole-food multi called The Pops. It's an easy way for us to get our fruits and veggies every day, plus a whole lot more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No shot can make up for poor nutrition. Good nutrition can help in the fight against the flu. It's time to use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-7833242473855785540?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/7833242473855785540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/7833242473855785540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/01/flu-shot-proven-to-be-ineffective-again.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-923879194343336610</id><published>2008-11-22T06:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T12:02:43.808-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;More About The Pops™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you or your children get sick all the time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you frequently feel tired and run-down?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a strong family history of cancer or heart disease in your family?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it nearly impossible to get your children to eat fruits and vegetables?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you lacking the recommended nine servings of raw fruits and vegetables each day?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the answer to any of these is yes, then The Pops™ are extremely important for you and your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For many years the National Institute of Health, the American Cancer Society, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and every other national health association has emphasized the importance of eating five to nine servings of raw fruits and vegetables every day. The health benefits of this are numerous, including:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;    Protection against cancer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stronger immune system&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Prevention of chronic illness&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Protection against heart disease&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Slows down the effects of aging &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;These benefits are not only due to vitamins and minerals, but also from the active enzymes, antioxidants and phytonutrients contained within the raw fruits and vegetables. There are many more potential benefits of these nutrients such as improved intellectual function, better eyesight and increased energy level. In short, our bodies simply function more efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One very important factor about fruits and vegetables that is often neglected by Americans is that they need to be eaten raw. Heat destroys the enzymes, fiber, and other active nutrients present in raw foods. In order to receive all the benefits of fruits and vegetables we need to eat them fresh and uncooked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many of us actually eat nine servings of raw fruits and vegetables every day? Most Americans may eat an orange with breakfast and maybe an apple with lunch. We are pretty good at making sure we finish our one or two cooked vegetables at dinnertime. However, virtually all of us fall far short of the quantity of raw fruits and vegetables required to protect us from cancer, chronic disease, infection, high cholesterol and heart disease. Very few of us are receiving the nutrition required to help our bodies run smoothly and efficiently and to maximize our potential for a healthy life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is difficult to get adults to consume their share of fruits and vegetables, but trying to coax children to eat enough of them is near impossible. Many parents worry about their two-year-old who barely seems to eat anything at all or the busy teenager who doesn't sit down to eat. The active nutrients in fruits and vegetables can maximize the physical and intellectual development of our children as they grow through the school-age years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What is The Pops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; The Pops™ are more than extra vitamins and minerals. It is actually a whole-food multi whose ingredients are real foods minus the water and fiber. Vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices that contain all the nutrients in the real food - not just a blend of vitamins and minerals. There are twenty-two fruits and twenty-five vegetables and a total of seventy-seven ingredients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How are The Pops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; made?&lt;/span&gt; The fresh fruits and vegetables are juiced, then dehydrated to a powder form. It's carefully tested to ensure no pesticides or other contaminants are present in the product. It is never exposed to high temperatures that would destroy the nutritional value of the fruits and vegetables. Most of the vitamins, minerals, active plant enzymes, phytonutrients, and antioxidants are preserved in the final capsules. When they're taken with water, the nutrients are absorbed into our bodies as if we had eaten the fruits and vegetables whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Are The Pops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; as good as eating fruits and vegetables?&lt;/span&gt; There's no complete substitute for eating the real thing. But how many people actually eat such a wide variety of raw fruits, vegetables and grains every single day? The Pops™ are a convenient way to ensure you and your family get all the benefits over time, from adding more nutrition from fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. These benefits include prevention of cancer and chronic illness, stronger immune system to protect against disease, slower aging, healthier heart and lower cholesterol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But I already take vitamins. Why do I need The Pops&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt; The Pops™ are not a vitamin supplement. They are considered a whole food, containing virtually all the substance from the fruits and vegetables. The Pops™ come in the form of two capsules, a Purple and a Green. Take the Purple at breakfast and the Green at dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've seen the benefits of The Pops™. Start your family on them today and see the benefits over a lifetime!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-923879194343336610?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/923879194343336610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/923879194343336610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2009/02/more-about-pops.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-5532531585799125191</id><published>2008-11-21T03:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T12:03:18.520-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Did You Know?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eat more fruits and veggies.

They build up your immune system, increase your energy level, enhance your appearance, expand your intelligence and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MAGNESIUM&lt;/span&gt; is needed for protein, fatty acid and bone formation. Magnesium is also used in making new cells, in relaxing muscles and in the clotting of blood. It helps form ATP, which gives us energy. It helps prevent muscle spasm, heart attacks and heart disease. It aids in lowering blood pressure and eases asthma. It also helps to prevent osteoporosis and regulate the colon and bowels. Symptoms of Deficiency: nausea, fatigue, muscle weakness and twitches, irregular heartbeat, leg cramps, insomnia, eye twitches, constipation, headaches and coronary spasms. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fifty-six percent&lt;/span&gt; of Americans are deficient of this nutrient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CALCIUM&lt;/span&gt; About ninety-nine percent of your calcium resides in your bones and teeth. The remaining one percent circulates in your blood and carries out the critical function of regulating muscle contraction, heart contraction and nerve function. Calcium gives you strong bones and prevents osteoporosis. It even lowers blood pressure and can decrease your risk of colon cancer. Symptoms of Deficiency: Calcium deficiencies can result in leg cramps, muscle cramps and hemorrhage, since it is essential to blood clotting. If you do not consume enough dietary calcium, your body will eventually cannibalize the calcium from the bones to maintain calcium levels in the blood. This leads to porous bones and osteoporosis. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Seventy-five percent&lt;/span&gt; of Americans are deficient of this nutrient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;VITAMIN&lt;/span&gt; A This vital nutrient protects against cancer, heart disease, prevents night blindness and other eye problems. It helps the skin repair itself and helps the formation of bones and teeth. Vitamin A is important for the immune system, protecting against colds, the flu, and infections of the kidneys, bladder, lungs and mucus membranes. Symptoms of Deficiency: Lack of vitamin A in your body can cause dry hair and skin, dry eyes, poor growth, frequent colds, skin disorders, sinusitis, insomnia, fatigue and respiratory infections. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Forty-four percent&lt;/span&gt; of Americans are deficient of this nutrient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;VITAMIN C&lt;/span&gt; helps maintain and give structure to bones, cartilage, muscle and blood vessels. It also plays a role in wound healing. Symptoms of Deficiency: Vitamin C deficiency causes weakness, fatigue, swollen gums, nosebleeds, and in extreme cases, scurvy. It is also reported to reduce the risk of cataracts and retinal damage, increase immune function and decrease heavy metal toxicity. Increased intake of vitamin C is linked to a reduced risk of cancer of the cervix, stomach, colon and lungs. It also contributes to the reduction of plaque buildup in the arteries and supports healthy blood pressure. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thirty-one percent&lt;/span&gt; of Americans are deficient of this nutrient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;VITAMIN K&lt;/span&gt; is important in blood clotting, bone mineralization and helping regulate cellular growth. Vitamin K has been shown to be supportive in preventing calcification or hardening in the arteries. It also lowers the incidence of kidney stones. Symptoms of Deficiency: Deficiency is associated with easy bruising and bleeding and increased risk of osteoporosis. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Seventy-three percent&lt;/span&gt; of Americans are deficient of this nutrient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;POTASSIUM&lt;/span&gt; This mineral helps muscles contract, maintain fluid balance, sends nerve impulses and releases energy from food. Potassium is needed to regulate blood pressure, neuromuscular function and levels of acidity. It helps regulate fluids in and out of the cells of your body. Symptoms of Deficiency: Low potassium intake is associated with high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, wheezing and asthma, weakness, nausea, insomnia and fatigue. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Less than five percent&lt;/span&gt; of the population gets an adequate intake of potassium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;DIETARY FIBER&lt;/span&gt; Dietary fiber helps to prevent gallstones, control irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and almost any intestinal disorder. It also helps to control cholesterol, blood sugar and prevent colon cancer. Studies show that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ninety-six percent &lt;/span&gt;of Americans do not have an adequate intake of fiber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-3953239638840737750?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/3953239638840737750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/3953239638840737750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/11/what-do-vitamins-and-minerals-do-for.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-43505138162223133</id><published>2008-11-06T20:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T11:55:17.267-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Most Common Nutrient Deficiencies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vitamins and minerals are not optional for good health, they are &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;necessary&lt;/span&gt; for good health.

He was a year older than me. I was in several classes with his younger brother, Harold. Their father was a teacher and coached high school football and baseball. Consequently, Juan participated in sports and grew up playing wiffle ball, basketball and football with his brother and friends in their backyard. When he got older, Juan played high school football and baseball. Of course, he received all of the sportsmanship awards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An avid runner, Juan stayed in better shape than any of us once we graduated high school. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, many of us would get together and play basketball full court. Several of the players had been all-conference and all-state athletes. Yet no one wanted to guard Juan, because he was always in such great shape!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good student, he graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in Mathematics. He eventually became a high school teacher and baseball coach in Asheville, North Carolina. He had a happy and satisfying career and was making a difference in the lives of his young students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then he found out he had leukemia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juan went through the traditional medical treatments, using chemotherapy. After a lengthy battle, the leukemia went into remission. When we heard the news, we all let out a sigh of relief. After all, Juan was one of the good guys. But he was not yet out of the woods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eventually the leukemia came back again, this time stronger than ever. Juan fought the good fight, but this time the disease won. Shelton Juan Chesson, Jr. passed away in the fall of 1999. He was just thirty-two years old. He left behind a wife who was eight months pregnant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juan's death made me think long and hard about a few things. I realized that I could take nothing for granted in life, especially my health. If it could happen to Juan, it could happen to any body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every once in awhile, I find myself wondering about my friend. I bet they play wiffle ball now in heaven. All because of Juan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-4975294792767095769?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/4975294792767095769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/4975294792767095769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/11/wiffle-ball-in-heaven.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SGfjV13h3nI/AAAAAAAABfA/AjS1Y4i41zk/s72-c/BaseballGrass.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-2046415033723738521</id><published>2008-11-03T22:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T10:22:43.536-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"How I Came To Believe Nutrition Matters"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was in college, my grandfather died of cancer. A few years later, a friend of mine died of leukemia when he was only thirty-two years old, leaving behind a wife who was eight months pregnant. Then my father died of cancer after being on oxygen for eight years. He never thought it would happen to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After seeing what happened to my grandad, friend and dad, I decided I didn't want to end up like that. So I began to read and study. Whenever I see something I like, I post it on my health &lt;a href="http://www.paulshealthblog.com/" target="_blank"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a friend who is now ninety-one years old. But when she was seventy-five, Mrs. Gravely's health was so bad her family considered a full-time nurse. Then one day, a friend educated her about health and nutrition. So she changed her diet and added whole-food nutritional supplements to her daily routine. It took two years, but gradually Mrs. Gravely turned her health around - and never did get that nurse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years later, I got married. When I first met Laura, she wore glasses. She had to wear them to drive, go to the movies or watch a game. Then we started juicing and taking nutritional supplements. About a year later, to our surprise, she no longer needed to wear glasses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've now been married for ten years. Laura and I have a son, Brady, who's two years old. We want to do everything we can to be around as he grows up. That's why we take The Pops™.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's how I came to believe nutrition matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your good health,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 51px; height: 55px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SaHDtvTyXxI/AAAAAAAADC0/M9kKk-PdVbw/s200/Paul%27s+first+name+signature.jpg" alt="Paul" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305737026580143890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purplegreenpops.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358502406866641254-2046415033723738521?l=www.purplegreenpops.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2046415033723738521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4358502406866641254/posts/default/2046415033723738521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.purplegreenpops.com/2008/11/nutrition-matters.html' title=''/><author><name>PaulsHealthBlog.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/TOyXjN1a_JI/AAAAAAAAEXE/AjYHnOD16j4/S220/Paul_Headshot_ECUHat.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taDO_YlRMEU/SaHDtvTyXxI/AAAAAAAADC0/M9kKk-PdVbw/s72-c/Paul%27s+first+name+signature.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358502406866641254.post-8067469069682020669</id><published>2008-11-02T19:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T18:41:03.520-07:00</updated><title type='text'>More About The Pops™</title><content type='html'>The Pops are a dose of good nutrition in a capsule.
