I've been taking this stuff called Aerobic Oxygen for about six months now and I really like it. It's the only supplement I currently take though. You put twenty drops in a glass of water and it supposedly oxygenates the blood more?? All I know is that I seem to feel better when I use it. Anyway, I'd like to find some more "cutting edge" products. Most of the mainstream stuff seems pretty worthless to me, as I don't feel any positive effects from them. I think Manta may have some good knowledge in this area, but I'm not positive about that.

In my young adult years I did some bodybuilding, and as a result I studied nutrition quite a bit.

My nutrition supplements of choice is Shaklee.

Shaklee has given me the best results over a multitude of products on the market.

You Ask, I Reply!

Cutting Edge, huh?
Like Bat Wings for curing impotence? :(
Like Pigmy Goats tail for curing baldness? :hopeless:
Like schnuggling RedHeads to cure lonliness? :yup:

Ohhh ...... you mean the NOT-so cutting edge stuff! :D OK, I can answer some questions there! (whew! I really didn't want to dig out my Alchemy books!)



What do you consider Mainstream? Vitamins are kinda boring, but essential. Make sure you are getting the proper amounts from organic and natural sources whenever possible. And make sure you are getting good quality materials, not drugstore sale stuff. It's been observed that most tablet-forms of vitamins just go through the system without disolving, and passing out the other end! (quite literally) These then end up in the municiple sanitation filtration systems as a mass of clumps that need to be tossed out. eeewwww!

I'm kinda old school when it comes to nutruition. REAL old school! Whole Raw Natural foods I feel are best for the typical person. and because of modern agricultural methods, we have depleted most of the natural occuring minerals and nutrition from the farmlands. So we need to make sure we suppliment our intake of needed nutrients.

You want to, as much as possible, maintain a diet rich in live vital foods. Yes, that means "eat your vegies", perferably raw, or uncooked, slightly steamed. This helps keep the nutrients in a more-easily assimilatable condition. Including the living enzymes unique to living foods (no, not raw meat :rolleyes: ) Alkaline foods, like the Green Leafies are a mainstay in my meals. Brocolli for Breakfast Baby!

Oils are essential too. Udos Choice Oil Blend is a blend of seeds - Flax, Sunflower, Sesame and a couple other that is cold-pressed from organic sources. This supplies essential Fatty Acids to help maintain the proper balance in the body, helps lubricate joints, helps with skin elasticity.

Nuts are an important way to get good fats into your body. It needs fats. Just don't over do it! Almonds are Awesome, Pine Nuts a Perfect, Walnuts are Wonderful (of course, eat 'em raw!)

Fruits? They are like natures desert .... because they are! Eat'm as treats, and you'll be well!

Melons ...... Good too!


OK, Foods are a basis, but ya gotta have a system that assimilates the materials eaten. So a couple therapies to check out.
Colonics ...... before you make faces, think about the tonnes of s**t that passes through this restrictive and tightly curved and undulating tube, about 30 feet in length. How often do you clean it? The whole length?
Lymph Massage .... A couple ways of doing this.
1 - manually with a massage therapist. or a knowledgable friend!
2 - With a therapist, trained and knowledgeable in the use of a Argon Gas wnd device. AWESOME at getting the Lymp System moving and cleansing.
The Lymph Suystem is kinda like the sewage system of the body, dcollecting waste and toxins from the surrounding areas. But unlike the major organs of the bdym the Lymph system needs stimualtion to create movement. So it needs Movement to create Movement.
The Argon Gas wand helps stimulate the movement, and is powerfully realzing are rejuvinating. (OK, THIS is a cuting edge treatment, as is the next)
Hyperbaric Oxygen sessions ..... these are 30-45-60 minute sessions in a hyperbaric chamber (yes, like Michael Jackson uses) The purpose? To super-enrich your blood stream with pure O2. Accelerates healing and Growth of the physical as well as the emotional.

OK, I think I'll leave it there for now, unless you have some specific questions. Sometimes the most cutting edge is the most simple to!



I give advice not because I'm a Dr (although, I am Dr MantaRayz DD - Doctor of Divinity) but because I want to expose people to that that will in turn help move the Human Condition Forward to a better tomorrow. I know the realities of Tomorrow are the Dreams of Today, :yup:

Wow, a lot of great info you shared there, Manta. Thanks for posting it!

Yor're welcome Tom. and like I said .... any questions are welcome. Of course, they will be my views! ;)

I have been taking multi-vitamin tablets lately, and they seem to be working OK.

the vitamin industry is an interesting one.

i believe, that if you eat a "rainbow" of foods each day, if you adequately sustain yourself with a variety of basic soil grown nutrients, eat animal products that themselves eat soil grown nutrients, drink a variety of liquids in moderation (and perhaps occassionally to excess!!!) then you can't go wrong.

show me a vegetarian who has reached a 100 years of age, and i will show you a smoker who has too!

most very elderly people have not sustained themselves on 'new-age' diets. they have lived quite ordinary lives, eating quite average products available to both you and me.

what they haven't done, is excess, other than excess of moderation, and i would suggest that they never truely considered the impact of their diet over the course of their lives, up until the later stages, if at all.

i base this on the knowledge of my 97 year old grandmother and her very best friend of 75 years, who is currently 96.

do they eat Vegimite? That looks and smells like it would preserve a Mummy! :hmm:

god i love vegemite.

i kid you not, i eat it almost every single day, and babies love it too.

vegemite on toast. it doesn't get any better!

(very healthy for you too)

See, I knew there was a reason they put y'all on a big island! :D It wasn't the robbers or murderers or charlatins .... it was the vegimite!

What is it made of?

What the heck is in that stuff anyway? It smells like old vinager and molassas!

true story -

the inventor of vegemite was going in competition with a product called "marmite".

basically it is the same thing except that marmite is a bit bitter in comparison to taste.

when a name whas being considered for the product, it was initially called "parwill!"

it was a play on words "mar" as in mother and "par" as in father.

so ma-mite would soon see pa-will on the shelves.

they must have had a son, because "vege" won the name of the day, and so it became.

vegemite is one of the worlds richest sources of vitamin b.

it is made from (according to the label) - in order of volume (percentage) of ingredients

yeast extract, salt, mineral salt, malt extract (from barley), natural colour, vegetable extract, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, folate.

for more info, you can visit www.vegemite.com.au.

I'll have to try it sometime. I wonder if they sell it here.

Maybe it would be better on THIS (http://www.spam.com/) :rolleyes: ..... or maybe not?

Hi all, first post so be gentle with me wont ya'll!. Infact both marmite and vegimite are used by vegans and vegitarians. Endeavour was quite right, veggies tend (stress tend) to have low b12 and b6 levels as they are mainly found in meat (particularly b12). Both vegimite and marmite are two of the few veggie foods that contain high amounts of both.

One particularly useless bit of information free to you from the UK!

Welcome to the forum Nick73. :)

I was going to post earlier in this thread but I wasnt sure cheap german lager technically counted as a supplement!

I was going to post earlier in this thread but I wasnt sure cheap german lager technically counted as a supplement!I think it was a good thing you held off as long as you did! ;)

Well I take all kinds of stuff but it's all for bodybuilding. egg Protien, creatine, whey protien, etc.

Melons ...... Good too!
Melons.. eatem' alone or leave em' alone. :wave:

I like melons. :D

I love melons. Everytime I go to a buffet I eat lots of melon or dessert. Maybe I shouldn't go to Hometown Buffet too often, because I always eat more than I should. :)

I don't know if the green drink is a supplement.

Animal Stack Amino Acid Chains are really good but only if you're constantly active and/or an anthlete. If not, a daily multivitamin should be sufficient (and cheat). Otherwise, one Vitamic C (about 250-500mg) per day in addition to multivitamin can be really good to reduce free radicals and toughen up the immune system. But don't take too much because if you're not drinking enough water it can be bad for the kidneys. Oh, and if you're sick, you can take as much as 1000-2000mg with plenty of water because it's water-soluble, which means it'll wash out if you don't need it. Or you can eat a ton of melons like the other guys...

I mean cheap. CHEAP.
C-H-E-A-P.

Cheap. Nuff said.

Supplements... I believe in them and take them daily.

These for sure, are a part of my daily health practice:

Power Max
http://www.powermax.us/id/leewise

Alli-C
http://www.alli-c.com/id/leewise
Each capsule of Alli-C™ is equivalent to 20 to 30 cloves of
fresh, crushed garlic

Cardio Specialist
http://www.cardio-specialist.com/id/leewise

I've been taking these for some time now.

Enjoy!

A cousin just called and wanted to sell me a bottle of Mangosteen. She claims it cures all diseases and it delicious. Has anyone else heard of it?

Suggestion for your cousin...watch it on making health claims if she is stating that to others. I would caution her to say only what her company desires to say -- or to refer people to the website.

The company and her needs to be careful with those. I hope the company is compliant, that's all!

Have a blessed day,

Lee

I have tried most supplements, and have found that the only one that seemed to help me was CoEnzymeQ10. It made me feel more energetic, but also made me feel a little nervous. I have borderline high blood pressure, and when I do take the CoQ10, my pressure is normal.

I like melons. :DEatem' alone or leave 'em alone. A messeage from your enzyme distributor. ;)
