“Recent research had shown that vitamin D has many unexpected health benefits such as improved immune health and decreased rick of heart disease, diabetes and some kinds of cancer.  Based on a large number of clinical studies a consensus had begun to emerge that a level of 50 ng/ml of activated vitamin D in the bloodstream is neede for the full beneficial effects of vitamin D to be expressed.  No one was quite clear how much supplemental vitamin D was required to reach those optimum blood levels.  Shaklee Corporation asked Provident Clinical Research to help them determine how much supplemental vitamin D was required to reach optimal levels of vitamin D.  A regression analysis across all of the vitamin D intakes showed that 1000 IU of vitamin D was the minimum amount required to reach the 50 ng/ml threshold for optimal blood levelsl of vitamin D.  As blood levels of vitamin D increased, the levels of HDL increased and the risk of metabolic syndrome decreased.  So this study was groundbreaking in many ways.  In fact, it has been so well received by the scientific community, that the paper was accepted as soon as it was submitted without any revisions.  I’ve published lots of scientific papers in my career and I can tell you that it is very unusual for a paper to be accepted without a single revision.”  -Dr. Stephen Chaney”.  For information regarding a premium source of vitamin D click here.

“A new independent  clinical study conducted by State University of New York at Buffalo has just been published regarding VIVIX a breakthrough product by Shaklee.  In this study a group of volunteers consume at 910 calorie breakfast from Burger King.  One half of the group took VIVIX immediately after breakfast and the other half took a placebo.  For the group consuming Vivix a key genetic regulator of longevity called Nrf2 increased dramatically within the first 3 hours after the meal. Nrf2 triggers our detoxification pathways so that we can get rid of all of the artificial food additives and preservatives in that happy meal.  Nrf2 triggers our anti-stress pathways.” (information taken from an article entitled “Breakfast of Champions” by Dr. Stephen Chaney)

"Just because a company tells you that their study has been published doesn't mean that it's a valid
study. There are "advertising journals" that will publish any study that you submit as long as you pay
them enough." -Dr. Stephen Chaney-  When doing research, especially nutritional research, it is important to know the difference between advertising journals and peer reviewed scientific journals.

People with Type 2 Diabetes may be among the first to benefit from new research on resveratrol.  Studies are just finishing up on the effects of resveratrol on people with type 2 diabetes who tak metformin but who blood glucose remains uncontrolled.  If this positive results of early clinical trials withstand further scrutiny, this could be very good news for people with typ2 2 diabetes.

“Every mom wants the best for their kids.  Every mom would like to be able to give their kids an edge in life if they could.  According to a recent study there is one very simple thing that every mom can do.  A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that when expectant moms supplemented their diet with DHA during pregnancy their infants had better problem solving skills at 9 months.” -Dr. Stephen Chaney-  click here

Research being conducted by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois have concluded that regular aerobic exrecise improves mental function and prevents cognitive decline.  He and his colleagues divided people who were 60 to 80 years old into two groups.  The first group did aerobic exercise – mostly brisk walking – for 45 minutes a day, three days a week.  The second group just did stretching and toning exercisees.  After 6 months they found a significant increase in the volume of brain cells in the prefrontal, temporal and parietal regions of the brain and hippocampus in the aerobic exercise group compared to the other group.  That’s just one more reason to include exercise in your holistic wellness program, along with diet and supplementation.  For a reliable source of supplementation products click here.

“Too much sodium is notoroius for increasing blood pressure, but a bigger problem for your heart may actually be having too little potassium in your body in relation to the amount of salty stuff.  A recent study found that a key to heart attack and stroke risk was the ratio between sodium and potassium levels in the urine, not the concentration of either element alone.  As the ratio of sodium to potassium increased so did the risk for a cardiovascular event.”  (Diabetes Forecast, May 2009) The artricle listed food high in potassium.   Take the very helpful and free welness profile listed in the upper right of this page.
