Neuro-Natural General is designed to help the general nervous system and the brain counteract the impact of Aging. It does this by the inclusion of special nutrients that help the neuro-transmitters and much more.

Neurological disorders can creep up on you by ‘stealth’. We all have them in some form although some people are fortunate that a malfunctioning of the nervous system or brain does not become a serious problem during their lifetime. For others of us the ‘malfunctioning’ will manifest in Alzheimer’s, Dementia and other degenerative diseases of the brain and nervous system literally destroying our lives.

It is therefore wise to take some insurance to reduce the risk of this happening to you. It was this need that prompted the development of Xtend-Life’s Neuro-Natural General supplement. It is good insurance to take even if:

• Your brain is functioning well
• You are in good general health
• You don’t suffer from depression
• You don’t have short-term memory loss

Why is it good Insurance?

Neuro-Natural General provides the nutrients so essential for good brain and nervous system health. As we age these become harder to get from our diet as the assimilation systems in our bodies are often compromised.

If you are more than 40 years of age it is inevitable that you will have a build up of plaque in your arteries which in time will likely cause all manner of cardiovascular diseases ranging from high blood pressure to stroke and heart attacks.

Cardio-Klenz helps to:

• Break down the plaque in arteries gradually and dispose of it
• Reduce aggregation of platelets in the blood
• Smooth the interior of the arteries to improve blood flow

Balancing blood sugar is critical but it is only part of the overall ‘equation’. It is important that you provide your body with extra nutrients to help prevent the conditions associated with diabetes.

The serious associative conditions of diabeties are what makes diabetes so dangerous. Diabetes can lead to…

•  Cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and blindness
• Amputations of legs, feet or arms
• Kidney failure
• Nervous system damage
• Circulatory problems and high blood pressure

There are many products on the market today that helps to naturally balance blood sugar but it is necessary to go beyond this alone. Diabet-Eze is an advanced natural supplement for diabetes sufferers. Diabet-Eze delivers…

• Efficient insulin production and secretion
• Effective glucose metabolism (blood sugar uptake)
• A reduced risk of potentially fatal diabetic-related diseases
• The strengthening of the liver and elimination of toxins
• Regeneration of insulin producing cells in the pancreas

Multi-Xtra contains 48 bio-available ingredients. Unlike a ‘normal’ multi it contains much more than just a basic vitamin/mineral mix. This is necessary, because, to maximize the efficacy of vitamins and minerals they must:

Be combined with other co-factors…such as Piperine to improve bio-availability.
  – Contain digestive enzymes
  – Include trace minerals such as Strontium
  – Include a methylating agent such as Tri-Methyl Glycine
  – Include anti-oxidants

Important Note: Multi-Xtra is probably the best multi vitamin/mineral supplement in the world and undoubtedly provides the best value for money available anywhere. However, it should not be confused with Xtendlife’s Total Balance range. The Total Balance range of products are far more advanced than a normal multi-vitamin/mineral supplement…even one as advanced as Multi-Xtra.

Diabetes is an epidemic in America

• The number of adults diagnosed with diabetes has more than doubled over the past 20 years
• Over 21 million Americans, 7% of our population, suffer from diabetes
• Over 40 million Americans, another 14% of our population, are ‘at risk’ of contracting diabetes

Our Childrens’ Life’s are at Risk!

Children are being diagnosed with diabetes in alarming numbers. The likelihood of children, born in 2000, contracting diabetes in their lifetime is staggering:

• 33% of American men will be diabetic
• 39% of American women will be diabetic
• 50% of Hispanic women will be diabetic

The Consequences of Uncontrolled Diabetes are Severe:

Conventional Diabetes Treatment is Failing!

• Diabetes has rapidly emerged as the leading cause of heart disease:
• Approximately 70% of patients with type 2 diabetes will die of heart disease
• Last year 44% of hospital patients with heart failure were diabetic
• Diabetic women have four times the risk of developing heart disease
• Diabetic men have two times the risk of developing heart disease
• Diabetes is the #1 cause of amputation and blindness

Diabetes is Preventable!

• Restore Your Energy
• Avoid Life-Long Health Consequences
• Live a Normal Life Again
• Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease

Your Diet Could Save Your Life

A life Style change might be necessary to overcome the effects of diabetes.  Eat a balanced diet that primarily consists of whole grains, fruit and vegetables:

• 12% to 16% protein
• 50% to 55% carbohydrate
• Less than 30% (mostly unsaturated) fat
• 25g to 50g fiber per day
• Reduce your consumption of carbohydrates

Why is Conventional Diabetes Treatment Failing?

Type 2 diabetes goes through identifiable stages. Treatment for type 2 diabetes should be tailored to the stage of the disease because in the early stages both insulin and glucose levels are elevated whereas in the later stages, insulin levels decline and glucose levels continue to rise.

The logic behind conventional therapy for type 2 diabetes is flawed. Type 2 diabetics are routinely told that they need to boost their levels of insulin, which will help drive glucose into their cells and lower their blood glucose levels. Unfortunately, in the early stages of type 2 diabetes, insulin levels are already elevated! This treatment advice is like an auto mechanic telling you to put more gas into your gas tank because your fuel filter is clogged – this doesn’t make sense!

In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, the problem isn’t with insulin production, the problem is with our body’s ability to utilize insulin. In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, our cells are less responsive to insulin – they are not absorbing the glucose from the bloodstream and, as a result, our glucose levels slowly rise.

The Right Combination

Diet – Make sure that your carbohydrates come from whole grains, dark green and brightly colored vegetables. Read the label – make sure that you consume poly and mono unsaturated fats, the more mono-unsaturated, the better.

Limit your consumption of saturated fats, animal products such as whole milk, butter, cream, ice cream, cheese, fatty meats and oils. Saturated fats will clog your arteries. And try to limit your consumption of Trans fats – they are not good for you. Trans fats are found in fried food, commercially baked goods, processed foods and margarine.

Exercise – People who have a tendency to develop type 2 diabetes are typically overweight. Therefore, 30 minutes a day of light to moderate exercise – combined with healthy diet is the first step in concurring diabetes.

Medication – In addition to diet and exercise, there are a few prescription drugs that increase insulin sensitivity in people with mild to moderate hyperglycemia:

Metformin                       Pioglitazone                        Actos®

Nutritional Supplements – In addition to these prescription drugs, many nutrients have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity, protect vulnerable cell membranes, and reduce the damaging effects of elevated glucose. Ideally, a combination of improved diet, exercise, insulin-sensitizing prescription drugs and nutritional supplements can reverse mild to moderate hyperglycemia before stronger drugs are needed and permanent damage is done.

Nutritional Supplement Recommendations:

Herbs render good support to the natural processes that take place in the body. Herbal supplements are usually not directed towards a particular disease but are used for preventing a disease, inhibiting the aging process, increasing immunity and providing internal strength.

One of the most effective herbal supplements, Triphala, is prepared by mixing amla (gooseberry), haritiki (Terminalia chebula) and bibhitaki (Terminalia bellerica). There is a folk saying in India which states, ‘you need not worry if you do not have a mother as long as you have Triphala, as it takes care of the body just as a mother does’.

Traditional herbal therapies like Ayurveda prepared extensive encyclopedias that contained medicinal properties of various herbs. This was essentially done by observing nature. Observing the eating preferences of herbivorous animals played an important role in the discovery of various healing herbs. In the West, a major boost to the use of natural remedies was provided by homeopathy, when it was discovered that extreme dilution of herbs and natural substances could be used for effective treatment of various mental and physical disorders.

The list of herbs that form part of herbal remedies and herbal supplements is long and benefits that can be derived from them are even longer. Some of the more popular herbal ingredients that are used in supplements are listed below:

-  Aloe Vera stabilizes the digestive system, helps in skin disorders like blemishes and acne, works as an antioxidant to combat age related wrinkles and improves blood circulation.

-  Brahmi (Bacopa) effectively improves protein activity in brain cells. Unlike synthetic sedatives that induce dullness, it produces a sense of calmness as it increases mental acuity, cognition and intelligence.

-  Neem (Azadirachta indica), which has been a subject matter of a major legal battle over patenting, is a blood purifier. It heals wounds, is an effective natural cure for skin diseases and fights mild infections too.

-  Amla or Emblica officinalis is an excellent source of Vitamin C. It is defined as the best among rejuvenating herbs.

-  Saw palmetto, pygeum africanum and lycopene (the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color) are extremely effective in treating prostate enlargement. They lower the risk of prostate cancer too.

-  Wheatgrass, a grass of the genus Agropyron, contains chlorophyll and flavonoids and is rich in Vitamins and minerals. It helps in blood formation and prevents dark circles around the eyes.

-  Tulsi or holy basil has antibacterial properties that are good for intestinal problems when mixed with ginger juice. It is one of the later additions to the homeopathic materia medica.

-  Turmeric is a natural antiseptic and antibiotic. Adding turmeric to milk helps in healing wounds and aids in joining fractured bones.

The list of natural herbs that form part of various herbal supplements that you see in the market is endless. Herbal supplements that are produced using natural processes like dilution, boiling or drying are completely natural. As dietary supplements, they can improve overall wellbeing to a great extent.
