 These four companies join my list of highly-recommended nutritional supplement companies like Ola Loa, Ruth's Hemp Foods, Nutiva, Jay Robb, the Amazon Herb Co., and so on. For each of these companies, I also share which of their products I recommend the most. All of them sell directly to customers over the web.

 REPPED: Continuing with our series on innovative nutritional supplement companies, here's another company I'm raving about: www.WellnessResources.com. It was founded by Byron Richards, the author of Fight For Your Health, which is one of my top recommended books (a must read for health consumers).
Byron has 20 years of clinical experience as a nutritionist, and he's a technical genius when it comes to understanding how supplements interact with biochemistry to protect the body and support tissue repair, disease reversal and peak performance. |

 They post a number of clinical studies that I'm willing to bet the FDA will force them to take down before long (the FDA hates it when nutritional supplement companies tell the truth about the science behind their supplements). So you'd better read the science before it gets censored by the feds.
Summary: Unique, food-based supplements called "FoodForm." Excellent for people who aren't getting results from cheaper, mass-produced vitamins and supplements.

 Mike: If this AER [Adverse Events Reporting] legislation goes through -- and it looks like it has a lot of support -- then we could probably see many nutritional supplement companies going out of business.
John: Oh absolutely, yes, we would, because they would have to have an 800 number on all their labels. They would have to hire sufficient staff to take the calls that would come in, and there are things that can happen from supplements that can cause what a person might think of as a side effect but is not. |

 Although folic acid has received the most attention as a nutritional supplement to lower homocysteine levels, several studies have shown quite clearly that the best reductions are seen when vitamin Bfi and B12 are supplemented along with folic acid. A good high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral should provide sufficient levels to see significant reductions in homocysteine levels.
High Blood Pressure
Blood pressure control is essential in preventing the complications of diabetes, especially kidney disease, retinopathy, and stroke. |

 And out of all of that research, the most astounding thing I've discovered is not one particular herb or nutritional supplement, but rather that the best and most powerful healing strategies, or what I call health habits, are available to you free of charge.
Think about this for a moment: what if you lived in a world where the most potent and advanced medicines were available to you free of charge? What if you didn't need a prescription to get them, you didn't have to pay to use them, and their effects were automatic and strongly correlated with enhanced states of human health? |

 You cannot allow Trim Spa or any nutritional supplement to give you the right to go out and eat junk food all day long and avoid physical exercise, and far too many people view these supplements in that way. You will not lose weight on Trim Spa if you continue to eat junk foods, fried foods, fast foods, and other garbage that packs on the pounds through high caloric density foods.
Also, you will not lose weight on Trim Spa if you don't engage in physical exercise. So, it can really only be effective if you combine it with these other strategies that are proven to work. |
| It has anti-cancer properties, believe it or not, and even though Trim Spa isn't really an anti-cancer nutritional supplement, there's no question that the small amount of cocoa in the product does enhance your immune system function and offer some protective effect against cancer, although it is probably a small effect.
The more important effect is that it makes your brain feel good. It enhances your mood, and when you're trying to lose weight, you know how important this can be. Restricting your carbohydrates can make you feel down. |
| So even though I don't appreciate all of the marketing surrounding this supplement, a closer look at the ingredients convinces me that this is, in fact, a very effective nutritional supplement for people working to lose excess body fat. Why is that? Let's take a look at the ingredients it contains, and find out what makes Trim Spa so good.
(By the way, as always, I receive no funds whatsoever from the maker of Trim Spa. This is not a paid review, nor some sort of infomercial. It's merely my own opinion on the weight loss potential of this product. |

 Similarly, some nutritional supplement manufacturers are now partially owned by those very same pharmaceutical companies. None of this proves that corruption is taking place in these organizations, but it does create a structure of potential influence where investors with large purse strings are able to influence the direction of these organizations (usually by sitting on their Board of Directors).
In contrast, here at Truth Publishing, we do not accept investment funds from anyone: not from private investors, venture capital groups, nor corporations. |

 Most supplement companies in the United States have stringent quality control standards, but what these herbal critics are trying to do is paint the whole industry with one brush and say that just because a few imported products were found on the shelves with toxic metals, therefore the FDA should have new oversight over the entire nutritional supplement industry. |

 The scientific literature and numerous clinical tri-
HOW TO TAKE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
Before taking any nutritional supplement, you should ask what scientific data supports its safety and what are the safe intake levels for the nutrients you are considering. Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., of Gig Harbor, Washington, and D. Lindsey Berkson, M.A., D.C., of Santa Fe, New Mexico, make the following recommendations:
• Nutritional supplements should be taken with meals to promote increased absorption. |

 Yet another excellent strategy for slashing national health care costs is to allow nutritional supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about what their supplements do for your health. This is something the FDA has disallowed for decades. They have never allowed manufacturers of nutritional supplements to make true statements about what those supplements can do for your health. |

 The threat of violence is not foreign to the promoters of conventional medicine, as the FDA has been the architect of several armed raids against doctors, nutritional supplement companies and even a church. Such raids include the "B vitamin" raid on the clinic of Dr. Jonathan Wright, the "CoQ10" raid on Highland Laboratories, the El Cajon pet food store raid (the owner committed the "crime" of saying that vitamins were good for pets) and multiple, armed "terror-style" raids against the Life Extension Foundation, among many others. |

 Of course, this protein drink is off my list of recommendations due to the fructose, but I still strongly recommend the whole food vitamins in the nutritional supplement form. So remember, what you're looking for is Nature's Way Alive Whole Food Energizer.
Introducing effervescent compost tea
Due to the popularity of the Alive supplement, Nature's Way recently came out with an effervescent version of the Alive Whole Food Energizer. This is a tablet that you drop into a glass of water, then it fizzes like Alka-Seltzer. I recently picked up a box of these and decided to give them a try. |

| Another thing we should do is halt the persecution of nutritional supplement companies by conventional medicine and the FDA. The FDA continues to attack and even persecute companies that manufacture and promote nutritional supplements.
There are countless examples of this, but one of the most recent is a company called Lane Labs that was selling a product called MGN-3 which contained medicinal mushrooms well known to boost immune system function and treat cancer in humans. |

 Other industries also suffer from fraud
By the way, for some context here, this is not a unique problem for the nutritional supplement industry. In fact, if you look at the medical industry, the vast majority of money changing hands is fraudulent. California is suing 37 pharmaceutical companies. New York is suing companies over Medicaid fraud, and there's so much fraud in Medicare that it packs on literally billions of dollars of waste that does nothing but pad the pockets of crooks. |

 Be aware of that as you use this product or any nutritional supplement.
Holy basil has also been shown to inhibit the proliferation of cancer tumors in various organs of the body. Holy basil is an herb with a great number of medicinal properties, including antibacterial and antiviral properties. A lot of herbs, especially those with strong, pungent oils, tend to have these kinds of properties. Oregano certainly falls into that family as well. |

 It's a nutritional supplement called "astaxanthin," and it's an all-natural antioxidant that works wonders for eliminating join pain, especially pain associated with osteoarthritis and even rheumatoid arthritis. I'm putting together a special report on this product in the near future where I'll reveal the astounding properties of this nutritional supplement. It's something I'm using myself now, and it has increased my joint flexibility and all but eliminated muscle soreness after my demanding gymnastics workouts. |

 The nutritional supplement carnosine is a naturally occurring histi-dine peptide, highly concentrated in the brain, muscles, and heart. New research shows that carnosine is a primary antioxidant in the brain.247248 It offers considerable protection from changes in brain structure that lead to dementia,249 and it is being considered a novel way to stop changes in the brain that lead to Alzheimer's disease.250
Carnosine is a major part of the foundation of the relaxed reserves in the brain.251 When carnosine levels are proper, the brain can tolerate stress and stimulation. |

| In some of the research I've done on astaxanthin, I've already seen how the nutritional supplement is practically eliminating arthritis pain in users. It is also making people practically immune to flus and colds, reducing muscle aches and pains, and giving people better mental clarity and higher levels of energy throughout the day. |
| Because the astaxanthin nutritional supplement greatly reduced my muscle soreness and increased my flexibility, I'm now seeing gains in stretching ability and flexibility that I hadn't seen for a very long time. What might have taken me six months to accomplish in terms of stretching is now taking me only two to three weeks.
A nutritional sunscreen
Another exciting benefit from astaxanthin is that it greatly enhances your body's adaptability and resistance to excessive exposure to sunlight. This benefit to astaxanthin was reported by employees at the manufacturer in Kona, Hawaii. |

| So while the FDA and nutritional supplement critics are trying to get you to focus on these imported products, they are ignoring the much bigger picture, which is that virtually all popular prescription drugs are made with dangerous chemical compounds that threaten the health of the American public. And those are being widely consumed right now. Vioxx isn't the only dangerous drug, you know.
Now it doesn't mean all of this excuses Ayurvedic herbal manufacturers from having heavy metals in their products. |

 This new pharmacological industry draws together an unlikely confederacy: plant collectors and anthropologists; ecologists and conservationists; natural product companies and nutritional supplement manufacturers; AIDS and cancer researchers; executives in the world's largest drug companies; and native indigenous shamans. They are part of a radical experiment: to preserve the world's rainforests by showing how much more valuable they are standing than cut down. And it is a race against a clock whose every tick means another acre of charred forest. |

 It's also about, of course, taking what I called "cellular nutrition" which, as I explained earlier, is just a good, complete and balanced nutritional supplement that’s high in quality.
Mike: It seems that the implied message in all of this -- if you'll allow me to paraphrase -- is that obesity and diabetes are almost universally preventable.
Mike: Correct. A lot of people don’t understand that when you spike your blood sugar, you over-stimulate insulin release, because the body has to control blood sugar. Insulin drives the blood sugar into the cell to either be utilized or stored as fat. |

 An organized campaign of terror and intimidation
Other nutritional supplement companies are also being routinely targeted and threatened by the FDA. In all, 585 different products brands and 287 companies have been targeted by this FDA terrorism effort since 2000, and it has likely frightened hundreds more health websites into self-censorship where they are no longer willing to tell the truth about the potential health benefits of their natural products.
Censorship, ignorance, terror—these are the tools of today's FDA. |

 You can't carry a single nutritional supplement around as a talisman for superhealth,' he says, 'because usually specific vitamins, minerals or enzymes are necessary to ensure the key nutrient is absorbed.'28
Because these areas are so complex, ordinary people would benefit if their doctors were able not only to help them interpret the facts as they are known, but also to consider using some of the evidence of using food in preference to drugs. |

 In fact, the children who were given the nutritional supplement Atole (the high-protein, high-calorie supplement with vitamins and minerals) during intrauterine life through age twenty-four months significantly enhanced their cognitive performance by eighteen years of life on a wide range of cognitive tests. Supplementation also enhanced their information-processing as well. These benefits were less obvious in children who were older than two when the test first began. Also, the Fresco supplement was significantly less effective than the Atole. |
| I discovered that the physician had never recommended a single nutritional supplement, despite the patient's medical problems.
My response was to place her on supplements known to improve diabetic complications— only to have the other doctor stop them when the patient returned for her next visit. I asked why. The patient told me the diabetic doctor said they would do no good, and would just be a waste of money. Incredible! Here was a doctor specializing in diabetes, with no clue as to the connection between nutrition and a metabolic disorder of this magnitude. More evidence-based medicine. |
