The benefits of CBD and Curcumin

CBD and Curcumin – special compounds from cannabis and Turmeric

CBD is the major non-psychoactive ingredient in Cannabis and can be legally sold in the UK and every other territory we are aware of. A prominent group of compounds found called cannabidinoids (CBD), are of great benefit to the health of the human body. We’ll discuss CBD and Curcumin separately. Here’s a quick summary of the benefits of CBD.

Benefits of CBD

According to a 2013 study, it appears that CBD has anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant, anxiolytic and antioxidant properties, ensuring it has the capacity to help treat the likes of oxidative injury, epilepsy, vomiting and nausea, neuroinflammation and anxiety1. It would take an entire book to disucss all its health uses, but here is a quick summary of what you need to know.

  • Anxiety – CBD appears possesses anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects. Research published in 2012 confirms that the cannabinoid can help treat patients with social anxiety disorder and may be effective for those suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder2. Moreover, a study published the year before found that, among social disorder sufferers, CBD pre-treatment significantly reduced their anxiety, cognitive impairment and discomfort during a public speaking exercise3.
  • Cardiovascular health – When it comes to the health of the heart and blood vessels, CBD may help protect against vascular damage caused by consumption of high-glucose foods, inflammation and type 2 diabetes; plus, evidence suggests it can play a significant role in reducing associated vascular hyperpermeability (a cause of leaky gut in the digestive system)4.
  • Diabetes – Results from a study conducted in 2006 showed a significant reduction of diabetes among non-obese diabetic mice (diabetes occurred in just 30% of those treated with CBD, but occurred in 86% of those not treated); while treated mice also experienced considerably reduced insulitis5. Additionally, the 2005-10 National Health and Nutritional Survey – conducted on adults in the United States – discovered that marijuana-use (and, thus, consumption of CBD) was associated with 16% lower fasting insulin levels among the more then 4,500 participants6.
  • Nausea and vomiting – Cannabis has a long, centuries-long history of use in societies for helping with nausea and vomiting; among around 80 other cannabinoids, CBD has been proved by animal studies to be effective at reducing or eliminating them both (a 2012 study discovered it possessed anti-nausea and antiemetic properties when administered to rats7). 
  • Pain and inflammation – CBD may prove effective in modulating pain thanks to its ability to inhibit neuronal transmission via pain pathways; for instance, recent research found it successfully suppressed chronic inflammation and neuropathic pain in rodents8, while a 2007 study discovered that CBD was effective as a treatment for neuropathic pain among sufferers of multiple sclerosis9.
  • Seizures – A 2014 Stanford University survey into epilepsy and use of CBD-enriched cannabis saw an 84% drop in seizures among children, among whom 42% enjoyed more than an 80% reduction; the study also found further beneficial effects of CBD cannabis among sufferers, including increased alertness, improved mood and better sleep, although drowsiness and fatigue were reported as side-effects10. In the same year, another child-based study – involving sufferers of treatment-resistant epilepsy – revealed that nearly one in four (39%) of those who received an oil-based CBD extract experienced a 50% seizure reduction after three months11.
  • Other benefits – CBD is effective in modulating central nervous system (CNS) excitability and the immune system’s response to this condition12, 13, while further research suggests that it can enhance both musculoskeletal system function and joint health14. Numerous studies all extol its value in supporting the immune system.

Supplements

Liposomal CBD contain a mix of different Cannabinoids from various strains of Cannabis Sativa. The liposomal process, which is a separate subject in it’s own right, ensures a vastly higher level of absorption than most other CBD products available on the market. The extra cost is well worth it. The figure thats normally bandied around is 7-8 x better absorbed. The two products we provide both  use the same state-of-the-art, nano-particle liposomal technology – the only difference between the two being that the ‘professional strength’ is a little more concentrated, and is provided with a total of 300ml, whereas the ‘regular’ one is a total of 60ml and slightly less concentrated. Overall, the professional strength is around 20% cheaper per mg of actual CBD.

CBD-ProfessionalLiposomal CBD – Professional Strength 10 x 30ml (total of 300ml) – £319.99

Liposomal CBD (60ml) – £64.99)

What should I combine with CBD to further enhance the effects?

Obviously CBD works perfectly well by itself.  But CBD and Curcmin together are even better. So if you want to enhance the effects further, we recommend combining it with Curcumin which has some quite similar benefits to CBD, especially where is comes to supporting the immune system, cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation and helping with anxiety. (Neuro-chemical research has shown that Turmeric and Curcumin can increase Serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine levels in the brain).

The owner of the company who manufacture the CBD and Curcumin we sell tells me he combines the two together, and this has an “amazing” effect on him. We provide two rather similar products – Liposomal Curcumin C3 Complex – 250ml which is just Curcumin and Liposomal Curcumin Turmerease – 250ml, which has a less concentrated amount of curcumin because it also contains ‘Cureit’ – which is CNTM (Complete Natural Turmeric Matrix). It’s almost impossible to say which one is better overall (they are both excellent products of course) but we have put what we hope is a helpful comparison table on both pages of the web site, which will help you decide which one to get. Obviously you can try both if you want to and see if you notice a difference between the two. If you decide to try both, we’d love to get your feedback. Write a review, and as always you’ll also get 500 reward points from us.

Further benefits of Curcumin and Turmeric (a few quick bullet points before you refuse to read any further)

  • Fights candida and other fungi
  • Good for gastrointestinal health
  • Promotes liver health

A clean colon and a less bloated tummy…

Colosan Colon Cleanser – We have not increased the price in nearly 20 years!!!

In 1999 I began selling an oxygen based bowel and colon cleanser to a few patients – Colosan. My original purpose was to give provide my clients with a product designed to improve the oxygenation of the whole body, for overall optimal health and increased energy, with any colon cleansing effect being a secondary and almost unintended benefit. But in practise I almost immediately started getting good feedback on it primarily for general detoxification, for colon cleansing on higher dosages, and as a healthy non toxic, non irritating approach to relieving constipation, which could be used on an ongoing basis usually on lower dosages.

I originally sold it for £27 per bottle plus £2 postage for a total of £29. If you had told me then that I would still be selling it in 2017, and for less than I charged in 1999, and that some of the customers who had been purchasing it then would still be buying it today, I wouldn’t have believed it. Nonetheless, that’s exactly what has happened.

Colosan Powder vs Capsules

In those days it was only available in the powder form, and the only reason it later became available later in capsules was because of pestering by me as my sway over the supplier increased as the sales increased. These days the capsules outsell the powder by 3 to 1 because of the added convenience, even though the powder is actually much better value for money.

Below is a screen shot of how we were advertising it back in the day. At that time, we didn’t take credit or debit cards, on the internet or by phone and PayPal didn’t even exist! If you wanted it, you had to either pick it up from my clinic in London, or send us a cheque, wait for it to be paid into the bank, and wait for me or my assistant at the time to have time to take the packages that had been ordered down to the post office once or twice a week. Yep, we were pretty professional in those early days.

And this is how we were adveritsing it a year later

These days, I have to emphasise that we have stepped away from claiming the antimicrobial effects shown in the screen shots above on the web site, as such claims do not comply with the EU Health and Nutrition Directive, which was formulated to protect the pharmaceutical industry . Whoops, that was a typo, we meant consumers. Therefore the comments in the above images, should be disregarded.

Nowadays I would like to think our web site is a bit less naive, even though we are not slick as some of the big boys in the industry.

A bit more about Colosan

Colosan is as its name implies is designed for a sanitary colosan (colo referring to the colon and “san” relating to sanitation, cleanliness etc). Indeed, the cleansing of the digestive tract is an important first step in any health regimen. You have to clean up before you repair and rebuild. By eliminating built up toxins first, you provide the body with an opportunity to restore vitality. There is no better way to clear the colon than with oxygen due to it’s effectiveness and gentleness. Colosan reduces unwelcome matter to carbon dioxide, waste and water.  The gentle oxidising action of Colosan as well as being a cleanser, is a wonderful natural laxative. By comparison, other forms of laxative are cathartics or purgatives. Amphetamines used as diuretics, are addictive and cause the body to dump its’ valuable water. Herbal laxatives work by employing micro toxins, or small poisons, to produce the same effect of purging valuable water in order to flush the digestive tract. These two methods drain the body of necessary fluids in their attempt to wash out the system and do not contribute to good health. For a thorough cleanse, oxygen is a more sensible and gentle method.

Benefits of Colosan

Constipation also creates a perfect environment for candida, bacteria, germs and other toxins. By eliminating the sluggish bowels with Colosan, you can prevent these micro-organisms from proliferating.

Improves Nutrient Absorption – Cleaning the surfaces of the intestines can improve nutrient assimilation. Nature designed the intestines with a maximum amount of surface area. There are thousands of finger like projections called villi. If the villi are caked with muck, nutrient assimilation is impaired.

For detoxification, colosan helps to prevent what is commonly referred to as a healing crisis or detox reaction that individuals undertaking a cleansing will frequently encounter. This comes about as a result of cleaning out the bloodstream, lymph or organs without first cleaning the primary organ of elimination – the colon. By cleaning out the colon with Colosan or Colosan Capsules, this unpleasantry can be a thing of the past.

Healthy People often rely on Colosan for keeping their colon clean. It is often the first thing to resort to if you’re lacking energy, not feeling well or sense a bug coming on. You’ll love the clean aerobic feeling and increased energy

Colon Therapists love Colosan because it enables them to clean the entire 21 feet of the digestive tract as well as loosening the impacted material in the colon. By giving Colosan to their patients prior to the colonic they can effect a more thorough colon hydrotherapy treatment. Taking Colosan after a colonic continues its beneficial effects.

Candida Yeast Sufferers – Revere Colosan saying that it is the only thing that restores sanity. Colosan dissolves the crud that the yeast is growing in and creates an aerobic environment where beneficial flora can thrive and keep candida in check.

I have been using colosan and Mag 07 for a number of years and alternate between the two. My colon health has improved tremendously. I now only need the product when something has upset my stomach or i feel in need of some maintenance. I have happily recommended oxygen health to many others who feedback the same results. thank you for making this product available.

Hi I have been using colosan for a bit now it works really well in clearing you out. I use 3 heaped table spoons into half a pint of water followed by squeeze of half a lemon. I did however take a break from colosan for 7 days and used oxy-powder as colosan wasn’t giving me the clear out. It still did the job but not quite as good. But I used again and it worked like a charm. It is important the day you use it to eat plenty of fruits and veg and take the colosan on an empty stomach before going to bed and you will get an entire clear out. Please don’t ever stop making this product its saving lives thank you so much.

I have used colosan powder and it works fantastic for a good cleansing, I take it at night 3 table spoons with a pint of water and a squeeze of lemon and it works better throughout the night . Don’t ever stop making this stuff it saves lives thank u so much

I have used Colosan capsules on and off over the past few years, I switched to the capsules from the powder form for convenience. Personally I found the powder form more effective although stopped using it as I didn’t like the chalky taste! I find that I can experience quite strong reactions to the product when taking higher doses so usually stick to just one or two capsules and would recommend building up to a higher dose if you have a sensitive system.

Colosan Powder is my best friend for detox days. Over three years together with my husband we follow 5:2 diet promoted by Michael Mosley: 5 days a week we have normal food, 2 days we have one light meal in the middle of the day. We call these two days D-day, Detox-day. A night prior the D-Day we have very light dinner, and before sleep take 1tea spoon of Colosan mixed in 200ml of water. Immediately followed by juice from ½ lemon mixed with 150-200 ml of water. The same repeat nest day before sleep. Using t this “formula” twice a week we can control our weight in norm and enjoy our favourite food 5 days a week. Problem with chronicle constipation disappeared as well as bloating. Water regime is essential key to success: HOT tea with ginger and lemon (honey )

I take this to support regular bowel movements. I take 3 capsules with 1.5 glasses of water every 3 to 4 days. Have found it not only helps me stay regular, but feel quite clear-headed on the day I take it. I tried 4 capsules once – never again. Had to go to the bathroom about 4 times within 16hrs. 2 capsules just gives a clear-headed feeling.

by Sharon S – Date Added: Thursday 4 August 2016
I have been using both Mag 07 and Colosan for a long time. Personally I find them both t be effective, however for me Colosan has the edge over Mag 07. Nonetheless I buy both because Mag 07 is more economical than colosan

by Navlet S – Date Added: Friday 15 July 2016
I find Colosan very effective. When I travel I take it along with me as its my best friend. I also introduced my sister in law and graundaughter to it, and they also find it very effective. I usually take 1 teaspoon in apple juice. I do not use the lemon juice as recommended on the label, as I have high stomach acid already and am on medication to reduce it, but the colosan works even without the lemon juice.

by Marianna M – Date Added: Thursday 7 July 2016
I have been using this product for several months now and after an initial cleansing of 1 spoon a day for 7 days, I now only use 1 spoonful once a week to keep on top of things. It works very well and I noticed the benefits immediately. Highly recommend it.

by Jill G – Date Added: Monday 4 April 2016
I love this product for constipation. I find it relieves it easily, effectively and gently. I don’t use it on a regular basis but like to have it there for if I need it as I know I can depend on it. I only need to take a teaspoon and would advise to start with the lowest recommended dose when first taking to assess how it affects you as when I increased the dose I had quite frequent trips to the loo! The only downside, in my view, is the taste, which I’d describe as a bit chalky. However, the benefits outweigh it and I am a repeat customer of this product.

Price increases coming soon

We have held the price of Colosan stable for the best part of 20 years! However with the current weakness of the pound against the dollar, we will be increasing the price soon – probably to £31.99 for single bottles. So enjoy it at £27.99 while we can still provide it at this price.

Colosan vs Oxy-Powder vs Mag 07

We get asked all the time which of these three colon cleanse products is the best one. The truth is, if there was one that was the best one, all of the time for everyone, we woudn’t waste our time selling three rival brands. Why would we? The truth is that individual results vary, and no matter what your friend or practitioner has told you about which one is the “best” one, the best one is simply the one that works best for you. That’s my opinion, no matter how much it irritates my suppliers, all of whom want to me tell our customers that their one is the “best” one, or in some cases “the only one” that’s any good.

Combining Colosan / Oxy-Powder / Mag 07 with Colon Hydrotherapy treatment

These products work wonderfully in your own right, but if you are having colon hydrotherapy, the two together will work together splendidly. In fact we have quite a few colonic irrigation practitioners who refer their clients to us for these products, to be used in combination with their treatment.

You can purchase Colosan and all the Oxygen Colon Cleansers here

General note, you may have noticed that a lot of information on our products has been removed recently. The result is that a lot of the product description’s are now extremely vague. This is because of petty interference by the UK Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency, and even pettier EU regulations. This is doing huge damage to our sales, and it is very frustrating. We’ve even had to change some of the product images, in order to remove the words “colon” and “cleanser”. This is according MHRA, and the unelected EU officials who created the regulations in order to “protect” you as the consumer. 

We’ve also been forced to remove product reviews. This is also because MHRA and EU say you need to be “protected”. Isn’t it wonderful to be “protected” by them? I have noticed with interest what an amazing job they do at “protecting” us from the damage done to us by orthodox medicines. This would doubtless explain why there are ‘only’ 40,000 deaths per year in the UK as a result of correctly prescribed medications and treatments, and countless more through incorrectly prescribed medications and treatments.

(By the way, you can still write reviews, we keep them in our archives, and you will still get 500 reward points each time you write one).

However in my newsletters I intend to continue to provide my opinion on how our products work and how they help people. I hope there is enough semblence of free speech left that I can continue to at least do that.

NADH – The Unique Energy and Immune Nutrient

NADH is one of those natural products I have regarded as ‘special’ ever since I saw it produce remarkable effects for my father in his later years. It has a valid and rightful place in all of the following categories of the web site…

  • Adrenal Support
  • Anti-Ageing
  • Antioxidants
  • Energy Boosters
  • General Health
  • Heart Health
  • Immune Health
  • Memory Maintenance
  • Mood Support
  • Sexual Health and Libido
  • Sports Performance

So what exactly is NADH?

To answer this, I shall quote from Professor George Birkmayer, who is the world expert on the subject.

The most promising natural substance in our body is NADH, which stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride. NADH is the biological form of hydrogen. It reacts with the oxygen present in every living cell, thus producing energy and water. The more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce, the better it functions, and the longer the cell (and the entire organism) lives.

Is it possible to increase the amount of NADH in the cell by adding NADH from outside? The answer is: yes. This implies that we can increase the energy level in our cells. Due to this, the cells can produce more of all the components essential for life, and thus they will function better and live longer. This is feasible by supplementation with NADH in order to boost the hydrogen taken up by the human body.

The amount of NADH a cell contains depends on the amount of energy it requires. The heart and the brain need the most energy of all our organs. Hence, these organs benefit the most from an external supply of NADH. All other organs, particularly the lungs, the liver, and the kidneys, also get more energy from NADH and function better. The biological hydrogen is the fuel for cellular energy production, and nutritional supplementation can provide our body with more NADH.

It’s one of those products that supports almost every system of the body, and here are a couple of customer reviews on it

I started using NADH 2 weeks ago and can honestly say, I have seen a remarkable improvement in my energy levels, since suffering from chronic fatigue for several years. I have extra energy to accomplish more tasks, I no longer have a foggy head, I am more alert, my nervous system seems much calmer and I am much more relaxed. I have tried numerous products for an improved level of energy, but nothing has given instant results as NADH. In fact nothing has ever made a noticeable difference. For my it has been a God Send and I highly recommend it to anyone requiring a greater level of energy. It is quite expensive but well worth the money.

I have found NADH very useful for people with hypoadrenia and Addison’s disease, I have seen energy, mental focus and sleep all improve. Clients suffering from Fibromyalgia and CFS all note significant changes in energy after a few days of NADH on a dose of 2 a day, then typically 1 per day for long term usage.



With Parkinson’s Disease, ET (Essential Tremor), Dystonia and SPS (stiff person syndrome, often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease) we have never seen notable improvements within 1 month on a dose of 2 daily. This is NOT a complete cure, but we see around 40-50% improvement in symptoms very quickly. We use NADH along other products which seem to provide further improvements – one being Finchley Clinic’s Megahydrate. We usually see results within about 7 days on a dose of 2 tablets per day.



We also find NADH of great benefit, when given to anyone having anyone taking any type of toxic chemical therapies (i.e.. many conventional treatments for terminal illness). Typically we find NADH is capable of minimising some of the negative side effects experienced by people on those therapies – such as chronic fatigue,



Healing goes where energy flows, if there is poor levels of energy there is poor levels of health and low levels of healing. NADH is RAPID ENERGY. As a major building block of cellular life, I have found NADH invaluable when energy for healing is required in a body that is deficient of energy. We find that we cannot get rid of any long term serious problem without raising life force energy in the body.



Some of our younger clients use it when partying all night as their NOW PREFERRED STIMULANT. – NOT that I recommend NADH it for that.



I have also used it in combination with the 12 step programme for clients coming off both alcohol and drug addiction. It takes the edge off the irritability and anxiety caused by the mental obsession as well as helping greatly with the physical addiction. 



All people coming off any type of addiction require some form of therapeutic support and guidance, In my experience for those clients receiving the correct therapeutic support high levels of B1 and NADH positive outcomes are far more frequently observed. 



I explain to my clients Healing goes ONLY where Energy Flows, No Energy = No healing and NADH is the best source of supplemental Energy I have found so far. 

Unfortunately NADH, even sold by us with what I can assure everyone is a very ethical margin, is rather pricey. True, there are cheaper NADH products available if you want to use worthless “NADH” products that don’t work. However we think that the official Professor Birkmayer product, is pretty much the only one that actually works. But now for some good news. We currently have 100 boxes with a short expiry date of End of April 2017, with 33% off, which we agreed to take off the manufacturer’s hands. Please note we also have full expiry date stock available at the regular price for those who prefer that. But it also goes without saying that goods marked as expiring on 30th April 2017 (for regulatory reasons, they have to be given an expiry date) do not suddenly become ineffective from midnight on May 1st 2017.

Click here for more information and to purchase full expiry date product at the regular price

Click here for more information and to purchase the short expiry date stock with 33% off (maximum 6 boxes per household at the present time).

Please note carefully, that NADH Rapid Energy is a SUBLINGUAL product, meaning you put it under your tongue and let it dissolve, which gets the NADH directly into your bloodstream. If you just swallow it, it won’t work.

Is there anything that helps NADH work better still?

Yes. According to Professor Birkmayer NADH (CoEnzyme1), can be enhanced by also taking CoEnzyme Q10. We usually around 100-200mg per day for every 20-40mg (1-2 tablets) of NADH.

Secondly, according to Dr John Gray (famed as the writer of “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus”), NADH creates an increased need for the amino acid Tyrosine (the main ingredients of our products Drive! or Thyroid Support Formula). He claims that taking tyrosine with NADH increased the effectives of NADH. We have not tested this claim, but neither do we dismiss it.

Dr Gray also claims that tyrosine is then ideally balanced with the amino acid tryptophan, which we recommend as Serotone. Again we have not tested this hypothesis, but equally we do not dismiss it.

Last orders before Christmas / Products to prevent colds and flu’s over the holiday season

We’ll be open almost up to Christmas, and if you want to order before we close here are the deadlines:

  • The last date for guaranteed (courier) UK delivery before Christmas is Thursday 22nd December. This is also the last date for orders to be shipped internationally by courier (usually 3-4 working days).
  • The last date for 1st and 2nd class Royal Mail shipping before Christmas (but delivery before Christmas is NOT guaranteed) is 10am on Friday 23rd December. This is also the cut off time for orders being shipped by Air Mail (delivery time is usually about 5 -10 working days).

Products to prevent colds and flu’s over the holiday season

There are loads of choices here. It may be hard to decide which one to use, but using one or more works, whereas being lazy or indecisive and not using any of them as a result, does not. Here’s a quick summary of what we’ve got.

1) All of our liquid oxygen products are anti-viral. As for which one is the “best” one in this category, well that’s almost impossible to say. Basically, they all work.
2) All Vitamin C products boost immunity, and combat viral infection and pretty much all infectious disease. Our best selling one, which is also excellent value for money is Tapioca Vitamin C (formerly Ultra Pure Vitamin C) 1000mg 90 caps – and I take this product myself.
3) Zinc (our favourite one is Zinc Ascorbate) and Selenium (more or less any of them) also help tremendously in preventing viral replication
4) We provide a number of antioxidant products which combine Vitamin C, Zinc, Selenium and other important antioxidants as an all-in-one product. They are all quite similar, but based both on value for money, and the actual balance of the nutrients provided, we think that Antioxidant Supreme which I take myself is the best one. My own mentor used to say (repeatedly!) that everyone who wants to optimise their health should take this or something similar, long term. The only important vitamin antioxidant that’s missing from this product, and for some reason most similar ones is…
4) Vitamin D, which close to 100% of people are deficient in during the winter is highly supportive to immunity, whereas being deficient is highly unsupportive (there is also overwhelming evidence that people who are chronically and long term low in this vitamin are statistically more likely both to get cancer, and if they do get end up with this awful illness, less likely to thrive and recover). Of the Vitamin D products we provide, we think this is the best one and is the one I personally use (although almost any Vitamin D product would be better than nothing), and is beneficial for almost everyone.
6) Herbs. We sell a lot of Anti-Viral herbs. Our top choices would include Pau D’Arco (also known as Lapacho), Samento (a more powerful form of Cat’s Claw), Barberry (which has similar properties to Golden Seal), and Olive leaf extract.
7) Support your adrenal glands. Cutting a long story short: Strong adrenals = strong immunity. Weak adrenals = low immunity. Our top choices from this category are Licorice Formula (or the more gentle Licorice Formula A for sensitive individuals), and Adrenal Support.
8) Keep your colon clean and well oxygenated. As Dr Edward Group of Global Healing Center puts it, “Regular intestinal cleansing with an oxygen based colon cleanser like Oxy-Powder can support your immune system by providing a balanced, clean environment for probiotic bacteria to thrive. The positive benefits of intestinal cleansing with Oxy-Powder are enhanced when it’s paired with a good probiotic supplement.”
9) And finally, as stated above, consider probiotics.

So that’s the quick ABC of keeping health and vibrant over Christmas. Have a Happy Christmas or Chanukah if you celebrate these festivals, and if you don’t just have a fun relaxing break!

Aerobic O7, Aerobic Oxygen

Aerobic Oxygen vs Aerobic O7 for combating candida and increasing energy

Did you know that candida, fungi, and bacteria are killed by singlet oxygen?

Aerobic Oxygen and the rival brand Aerobic 07 are both liquid oxygen products composed of sodium chlorite as their main ingredient. That’s sodium chlorite, not sodium chloride (which is table salt). The chemical formula for this is NaClO2, and the “O2” bit is released when it reacts with our stomach acid.

So which one is better? If sales were anything to go by, we’d have to say Aerobic Oxygen must be the better product, as it far outsells Aerobic O7. But as always the truth is not as simple as that. First of all, we have been selling Aerobic Oxygen for vastly longer than Aerobic 07. Secondly it’s much better known in the UK. Thirdly we have put more time and money promoting Aerobic Oxygen over the years, so this has also given it an unfair advantage.

However even if one were to assume, perhaps rather simplistically, that the one that is the better seller must be the better product, if you go over to the United States it turns out that Aerobic O7 sales far outweigh Aerobic Oxygen. We sell both products at the same price (at the moment, we never promise that our prices won’t change), but you get more for your money with Aerobic O7 at 70ml per bottle than Aerobic Oxygen at 60ml.

Both products combat candida both directly (as they are anti-fungal) and indirectly by alkalizing the body which creates an environment which is hostile to its proliferation. As one customer who kindly wrote a review stated “I have been using the Aerobic Oxygen and Aerobic 07 for several months now for myself, as well as for several seriously ill people around me. This is really an amazing product. Not only does it help with boosting energy levels, which is crucial in many cases; it also helps greatly in increasing the PH level in water, which is crucial to our health in general and to XXXXXX patients  in particular (editorial note, we cannot make references to the particular illness mentioned here). Around 10 drops in an 8oz glass of water of either product will increase the PH level from around 7.0 to 9.5 and I have verified this with my own equipment. The alternative is a machine I have costing over £1500, and will generate the exact same results and so, short run requirements of raising the PH level in water can be done much cheaper using either of these products.”

As well as greatly increasing energy, and combating candida overgrowth, the oxygen products are anti microbial and anti viral generally. Use them regularly over Christmas and the New Year, and you are vastly less likely to end up with a cold or flu. Other problems which we get good feedback on for these products include respiratory problems. You can also use a couple of drops on your toothbrush to sterilise it after each time you brush your teeth, as well as add a drop or two onto your toothbrush as an anti bacterial when cleaning your teeth. We have a page comparing Aerobic Oxygen and Aerobic O7 in a bit more detail here, which we think can be useful. At the end of the day, I’m not convinced that one product is consistently better than the other one. However my experience has been that with all products, even when comparing very similar ones, individual results vary, and that now and again some individuals will find one works better for them, and others will find that another one works better. I’ll leave you with the following customer review to ponder. And don’t forget, you will receive 500 reward points for any review which you leave on our web site – for any product.

“Aerobic 07 gives me more energy and mental clarity. Also seems to keep my intestinal system moving. When I take it my body doesn’t feel so toxic. For example if I eat gluten it gives me terrible gas and bad breath. But I have found if I take 10 drops twice per day of aerobic oxygen, it has a great effect in settling things down a few hours later. I believe I have a chronic candida problem and have a lot of food intolerances. A lot of foods I avoid completely, but aerobic oxygen does enable me to tolerate some foods I otherwise cannot eat.”

Oxy-Powder Price Rise

Customers always hate it and complain bitterly when we raise our prices. And believe it or not, we hate raising them too. Unfortunately though, as much we didn’t want to do it, we have had to raise the prices of many of our imported items over the last month, as existing stocks ran out, due to the terrible fall of the £ against the US$ and Euro.

There has already been an Oxy-Powder price rise to £42.99. Sadly, the ones that have NOT gone up in price, will too, and without notice. We do not tell people in advance to some degree because we don’t want panic buying to occur, but mostly because we only decide to raise them when we have no other choice, and when we get to the stage of having to, it is done with immediate effect. However I am willing to share with you that of the products where we have not already increased the price, it is almost inevitable that over the next few weeks, we will have to increase the cost of all the Oxygen based Colon Cleansers, (except Oxy-Powder, which has gone up already) as well as most products from Global Health Trax, and Global Healing Center (except Oxy-Powder).

The situation will not be any better if you go elsewhere, for example if you try to go straight to the suppliers, as by the time you have paid for shipping to the UK, VAT, import duty, customs brokerage charges, and further VAT on both the duty and the shipping costs, we can pretty much guarantee it will cost you a lot more. You will also get a very poor exchange rate compared with the mid-market rates that you see on the TV or currency web sites. Customers do sometimes try to bypass us, and they always come back to us the next time regretting doing so, after paying a lot more than they anticipated, and waiting up to a month to get the goods.

With the products we source from the UK, even there, many of the raw materials come from abroad, so we anticipate that the suppliers will soon increase their prices, which means we will then reluctantly have to raise our own.

All we can say about this is sorry, and we promise not to raise prices that don’t need to be raised.

From all of the team

(Yes we do only consist of four staff, and we don’t seek to be one of the countless organisations that just sell any old tat they can make a profit on, without knowing anything about the products. The reason we seem bigger to some people is partly because we outsource the social media, but mostly because we all work so hard!).

Kidslac, Antioxidant Supreme and other products on sale

1 Comment

 

We’ll keep this one brief. We’ve got up to 70% off on a number of clearance items (due to short expiry dates) in our summer sale. The full list is found here. Most of these products are being sold at cost price, and in some cases significantly below cost price! We urge you to view the sales page now, as once they’re gone, they’re gone.

​The sale items include multivitamin supplements, probiotics, psyllium husks (i.e constipation relief), children’s products, and more.

​

A couple of the highlights of the sale include : –

Kidslac 35% Off   – Pleasant tasting childrens probiotic (though we know a few grown ups take it too!) – Just 19 boxes available at the time of writing

Antioxidant Supreme 35% Off – Just 7 boxes available at the time of writing. This is the director’s personal favourite wide spectrum probiotic formulation (out of several similar products we provide), designed for long term usage, and the one he uses to oppose free radical activity and aging. He believes that everyone seeking optimal general health or looking at it more negatively, illness (of almost any kind) prevention should take a product of this kind.

Please note if you visit the page, and either of these products are not there, it means they’ve already been snapped up, though you can of course still purchase them at the regular price.

​Price rises

On a sadder note, it’s looking increasingly inevitable that a few product prices will have to go up when our current stock runs out. This is largely because we purchase a lot of our products in US$. We have had the poor performance of the £ against the $ over the last 2 months, although in truth, the £ had slipped quite a bit even before that compared with the same time a year ago – even after the Brexit vote. Also, our shipping costs have gone up tremendously over the last year or so. We don’t fully understand this, bearing in mind the fact that petrol and oil prices are currently very low, but this is what has been occurring nonetheless. We will not raise prices if we don’t have to, especially as we urged customers to vote for Brexit in order to get our health freedoms back again, which have been disgracefully stolen from our customers over the last ten years.But on the other hand, we will not put ourselves out of business, and have to trade with some profit.

Hair loss and Silica

Hair loss and Silica

We get asked quite often about which products we recommend for hair loss (as well as the health of nails and skin). Hair loss is a complex issue, and could easily be the subject of an entire book, and we have an entire category populated with the products that may help here. But we’ll keep this simple. Women especially should always discount the possibility of iron deficiency, and supplement with iron if necessary. Note: please only supplement if you have been diagnosed with low levels of iron – don’t just guess – as iron is one of the rare minerals where if you take too much it won’t just come out when you pee, and taking too much can be toxic.

However, where iron deficiency is ruled out, our top pick is usually Silica Plus, which unlike iron is safe for everyone to take. (Oh, and by the way, you can take Iron and Silica if you are losing your hair). A quick glance at the reviews shows that those who can be bothered to write one (typically, and frustratingly this is only around 0.25% of customers with all products) typically report tremendous benefits for hair loss. We’ve been selling this product ever since we started our online shop, and whilst it’s never been one of the top sellers, we had quite a few people report that it helps with hair loss, as well the health of nails, prevention of wrinkles, and especially joint problems, arthritis and so on. Here’s a quick summary of what it helps with, and what to combine it with for optimal results.

If you need silica, you are likely to say “yes” to some of the following questions…

Do you have more wrinkles than you think is appropriate for your time of life?
Is wrinkle prevention high on your list of concerns for the future?
Is your skin tone not what it could be?
Is your skin dehydrated?
Do your fingernails peel?
Do you have joint pain or arthritis?
Is your hair weak or brittle?
Is your hair thin or thinning?
Are your gums inflamed?

So how can silica help?

  • Silica strengthens hair and gives it shine
  • Silica ensures that your skin is moisturised from the inside, leaving it health any supple
  • Silica gives strength to nails – improving their health and appearance
  • Silica helps strengthen joints and tendons
  • Silica helps reduce inflammation of the gums

More detailed information on silica

Bones, Teeth and Gums

Osteoporosis is a common symptom of aging, caused by calcium being leached from the bones leaving them brittle and weak. Supplemental calcium on its own is not enough, other minerals are needed and silica can help the body repair brittle bones. The symptoms of osteoporosis are mainly seen in women after the menopause but the degenerative process occurs much earlier in life. With osteoporosis a lack of calcium in the bone matrix leads to weakened and thinned bones which are susceptible to being broken by a minor injury or even normal stresses and pressure.
Bones are made up of phosphorous, calcium, magnesium and silica. Silica’s function is the depositing of minerals, especially calcium into the bones to strengthen them. Therefore it can speed up the healing of fractures and help prevent them in the first place.   Research has also shown that when the body has short supply of calcium, it can convert silica to calcium that is needed by the bones. Silica may also help with cartilage and joint inflammation and deterioration. Silica can stimulate bone formation so can be used as a preventative against osteoporosis.
Silica also has benefits for teeth and gums by hardening tooth enamel, preventing cavities and helping to preserve teeth. Silica guards against bleeding gums and also prevents recession of the gums that leads to loosening of the teeth and eventually tooth loss. Therefore silica can be used to maintain the integrity of teeth and gums.
Hair, Skin and Nails
There has been a recent interest in silica in the cosmetic industry as they have realised that shampoos, conditioners and creams containing silica are beneficial for healthy hair, skin and nails. However the benefits can also be seen when silica is taken internally.
Silica is a major component of hair as hair is almost as rich in silica as healthy bones. Silica helps to prevent baldness and stimulates healthier hair growth. A silica supplement can help revitalise hair by making it shinier and stronger.
As we get older, the amount of silica in the body becomes exhausted leading to brittle nails. Nails are complex protein structures that grow on average 4-5mm per month. When there is a mineral deficiency, the rate of growth slows down so the fingernails can be the first sign of a silica deficiency. Minerals will be removed from the nails before the bones so it is possible to stop the process before the minerals are leached from the bones and cause much greater health problems. Silica helps make the nails harder, shinier and less likely to break.
Skin also requires silica, as the supporting collagen underneath the skin enhances elasticity and beauty. Collagen is mainly made up of silica so the more silica available the more effectively the collagen can work and give a brighter complexion to the skin. Studies have shown that once the body is provided with enough silica, collagen levels are elevated and the texture of skin improves.
Silica can help the body deal with dry skin and other skin conditions, brittle nails, hair thinning, dandruff and burns including sunburn.
Anti-Aging
The body’s natural level of silica declines as we age causing bone density to decrease, dry and wrinkled skin, weak teeth and gums and hair loss to occur.
Tissue degeneration accelerates due to aging when connective tissue cannot retain moisture. Silica can help slow the degenerative process of connective tissue. Collagen’s ability to retain moisture is what gives connective tissue its ‘bounce’ and will slow down premature aging. Collagen contains large quantities of silica so if the body has enough silica, the collagen helps the skin look younger. Therefore a silica supplement inhibits the aging process of the skin by supporting the structure of connective tissue.
Vascular System
  
Silica is involved in maintaining blood vessels and is present in the heart, lungs, liver and the blood itself. Silica strengthens and stimulates the vascular system, lowers blood pressure and increases elasticity of blood vessels. Silica also helps improve arteriosclerosis, where the arteries become hardened leading to heart attacks and strokes. Silica can support the cardiovascular system as studies have shown people without heart disease have much higher levels of silica in their arteries.
Silica maintains the structure and permeability of the arteries so can help regulate blood pressure and avoid coronary problems.
Respiratory Conditions
Silica helps repair and maintain lung tissue, and contributes to the elasticity of the lungs. It also protects lung tissue from pollution that is inhaled, something we are all exposed to everyday. Silica acts as a cough decreasing agent and to tone the upper respiratory tract. Silica can reduce swelling in the nose, pharynx and larynx because of its positive action on the lymphatic system.

How is it best to take Silica Plus?

Like many nutrients, silica is best absorbed in a colloidal liquid form. Taken on 15 drops 3 x per day, Silica Plus is a two month supply of liquid silica with additional ingredients which help with its absorption, along with trace minerals. For this who are interested, there is more information on Silica Plus on the web site.

What products combine well with Silica Plus?

1) Oxygen Elements Max

A healthy oxygenated environment helps Silica Plus do it’s job even better. We supply a number of liquid oxygen products, but we usually recommend customers to combine Silica Plus with Oxygen Elements Max, made by the same company. Indeed Silica Plus was originated formulated to be Oxygen Elements Max’s sister product. Although Silica Plus can and does work by itself the increased oxygen enhances ALL the potential benefits of Silica Plus.

2) MSM

We can’t finish this newsletter without giving a quick shout-out for the benefits of MSM. For problems of the hair, skin and nails, MSM (nutritional sulphur) can also be helpul. According to one one of the pioneers of MSM – Bill Rich –  “wrinkles are caused by a lack of sulphur in the skin”. This is of course over simplistic, and there other factors that contribute to skin aging. Nevertheless healthy levels of sulphur do contribute to healthy radiant hair and skin, and supplementing with MSM has countless additional health benefits besides. But as always I know I am on borrowed time, so I’ll save that discussion for another day.

Candida

Candizolv Your Candida Away

For the last year or so, we’ve been selling a new product called Candizolv for candida overgrowth, which provides a completely different approach to the more common approaches of using antifungal herbs and probiotics. Although it’s early days we have been getting some very good feedback on it, and we are ready to share the good news with customers. It uses two very specific protein digesting enzymes as it’s core ingredients to literally digest the candida rather than kill it. It does this by digesting the outer cell wall of the candida organism. However it specifically targets the candida wall, and not healthy cell walls of your other cells, as these enzymes have an affinity specifically (and only) for breaking down a particular compound only contained in the candida cell wall called chitin. I have waited for some time to write about it, because it’s relatively pricey, and I wasn’t prepared to say too much about it until we were confident that it got good results, which were consistent enough to justify the cost.

Candizolv is brought to you by Global Health Trax (GHT), who also manufacture Threelac and Fivelac. These two products have been our two most popular candida management products for over 10 years, and they help many people. But individual results do vary with ALL products and Candizolv should be considered by those who are not getting better, and those who are improving, but not improving enough. It is a blend of chitinase, chitosanase and other candida dissolving enzymes in perfect balance that is completely safe and effective against Candida overgrowth.

According to the suppliers : –

  • Candizolv is fat soluble and establishes itself in the fat cells of your body.
  • It is slowly released over time to weaken all fungal yeast cells, no matter where they are within your body.
  • Candizolv need not be taken all the time. One bottle lasts 30 days at 2 capsules per day. Over that first 30 days it stores itself in fat cells and then continues to release in your body for an additional 30 days.
  • Candizolv and Threelac (or Fivelac) together form a complete Candida programme. They kill both the systemic form of the yeast and also attack the fungal factory in the gut.

As with all GHT products, it comes with a 60-day money back guarantee, so if you are unhappy with your purchase, your investment is virtually risk-free. We say virtually risk free, as we do make a small charge to cover our shipping and processing costs (although it does not cover the payment of import tariffs, so we do make a loss on refunds, just a smaller one than if we included these costs too), but the refund is covered to 90% of the order value.

Can Candizolv Cause Die-Off  / Herxheirmer reactions?

We have heard claims (from a company selling a competitor product) that the proteolytic enzyme approach to eradicating candida cannot cause die-off reactions. However we know this is nonsense for two reasons. Firstly because we have had reports ironically from the users of the same competitor product that it did. Secondly, because we know from many years experience that any genuinely robustly anti-candida product that’s any good can and will cause yucky symptoms in some sensitive individuals as the body eliminates the candida. This occurs as result of the extra burden put on the organs of elimination and the immune system. If you are sensitive to die-off reactions, we recommend you to combine Candizolv with Wild Endive Formula – formulated specifically to help mitigate the die-off reaction, and Burbur if necessary for additional effect.

Men’s or Women’s Candida symptoms may include some of the following.

  • Fatigue
  • Brain “fog” -hard to focus or think straight.
  • Oral Thrush (a white film on tongue or in the mouth)
  • Bad breath, foul taste in mouth
  • Abdominal pain
  • Bloating and indigestion
  • Increasing allergies to foods (gluten or celiac problems can be a direct result of Candida overgrowth) more
  • Constant craving for something sweet!
  • Joint pain with arthritis-like symptoms
  • Chronic sinus drainage -which antibiotics don’t help!
  • Weight gain (or loss) and the inability to change it.
  • Fungus on the toe-nails
  • Itching, red eyes
  • Ear drainage
  • Candida Skin rashes on the body (eczema, atopic dermatitis)
  • Candida Rash around the groin or in the folds of skin
  • Anal, penile or vaginal itching
  • Hair loss
  • Vision problems
  • Depression

If you’ve been suffering for a long time, and nothing has helped, try Candizolv (which you can combine with any other anti-candida products), and let us know how you get on. This isn’t stated glibly – we genuinely like to know when people get better….and when they don’t.
