NOTES FROM THE KAT

In this Issue:


Greetings [[firstname]],

 

Save $5 on Soothing Greens

The holidays are upon us (you humans to be more precise). Perhaps there will many mornings when you'll awaken to memories of that second (or fifth) holiday treat. Perhaps you'll be one of our fair members searching your cupboards for  nutritional salvation. Hmm. Methinks shaming you into shunning the treats won't work (it never has).  

Okay, so given the realities of all the upcoming parties and temptations, you may want to consider adding our Soothing Greens product. We designed this product with Dr. Rodier's help (as you may recall, he specializes in gut health).

Soothing Greens is loaded with ingredients to support your digestive tract and immune system alike.  Remember, most of your immune system is in your gut and even moderate intake of alcohol and refined sugar along with stress over the holidays can disrupt immune system function.

So, this kat decided to put Soothing Greens on special--early--so y'all can support your health throughout the holiday season. We're offering Soothing Greens for $5 off through the end of November, so stock up now!

As a refresher, here's the goods on all the greens and healing agents in Soothing Greens. 

Soothing Greens - Help Your Belly Heal From Too Many Holiday Indulgences

Slippery Elm - works to soothe and nourish the intestinal tract and has been studied in conjunction with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Its mucilaginous properties soothe the throat, heal stomach and small intestine membranes, and help absorb toxins in the colon as well as regulate colonic bacteria for effective elimination. Interestingly, slippery elm is used for issues of constipation and diarrhea alike.

Alfalfa Grass - a green "superfood," alfalfa contains digestive regulation enzymes and chlorophyll -- both important in healing and maintaining a healthy intestinal tract, liver, and skin. Alfalfa is known to bind and neutralize carcinogenic agents in the colon as well as allergens in the gut.

Barley Grass - another green "superfood," barley grass is rich in protein and calcium and is considered to normalize metabolism. In addition to supporting healthy cholesterol levels and being a powerful antioxidant, barley grass helps the gut by acting as an anti-inflammatory and providing a heavy dose of anti-bacterial chlorophyll. Barley grass neutralizes heavy metals and its small molecular weight allows it to be absorbed directly through cell membranes to purify and build the blood, repair cellular DNA, and promote anti-aging.

Spirulina - this blue-green algae "superfood" packs 21 amino acids, essential fatty acids, and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. It's known as an important detoxifier and is also known for offering highly-digestible protein and bioavailability of nutrients, making it a good energy booster.  Spirulina's high chlorophyl levels helps it draw out toxins and it is often used with malabsorption issues. It's alkaline properties help balance acidic foods like coffee, sugar, and alcohol, while its immune-stimulating properties make it an important anti-cancer ally.

Dried Banana Powder - Bananas are one of nature's best antacids and gastric lining protectors. Bananas offer terrific defense against ulcers, pack a powerful punch of potassium, and include all the vitamins, minerals, aminos and essential fatty acids as well! Bananas, by the way, are considered an alkalinizing fruit. 

Larch Arabinogalactan - The name sounds like a super hero, and no surprise, just check out the research on this botanical. Larch works as a prebiotic to feed healthy bacteria. Larch also boosts general immune health and immune regulation efficiency (it is considered a powerful immune modulator). Larch also helps produce critical short-chain fatty-acids, which support healthy elimination, gastrointestinal lining protection, and overall gut health. Larch now accompanies many cancer protocols for its tremendous immune-boosting benefits. 

Ganeden BC30 Probiotics - we use a patented and completely shelf-stable spore-forming probiotics from Ganeden, a leader in delivering live probiotics in food and beverage products.  Ganeden probiotics produce a strain of lactic acid, which supports formation of good bacteria in the gut and forces out unfriendly, disease-promoting bacteria.  No more fuss about refrigeration or worrying about dead bugs or when to take your probiotics. The BC30 bugs are like special forces, able to survive and do their job, no matter how harsh the environment! Yeah! 

Citrus Bioflavonoids - powerful antioxidants and potent immune and cardiovascular health boosters. Bioflavanoids also are considered helpful in healing allergic conditions, which often start in the gut and the digestion process.

Brown Rice Protein - gentle, easy-to-digest protein to nourish your trillions of cells and support them in any immune battle.

Dr. Rodier's Blog: Chronic Pain, Overmedicating & Recent Reads

Dr. Rodier has been blogging up a storm as of late, and this kat thought a few of this topics may be of interest to you folks. Read on!

 

October Books

From evolution to cellular function theory to politics and back, Dr. Rodier gives synopses and opinions of his recent reads - and this guy is always plowing through something!

Dealing with Chronic Pain - A Missing Tool

Dr. Rodier explores the connection between inflammation and the gut, citing yet another recent journal article linking the two. A must read for anyone who experiences the "oofing" around that comes with age or illness.

Overmedicating Concerns

Dr. Rodier describes a patient's experience being overmedicated for fatigue and unconfirmed thyroid issues. He also cites several other examples of what he considers irresponsible prescribing and encourages readers to seek caregivers willing to help them move beyond prescription use.


Shock-Wave Therapy Helps Bones Heal

After suffering a broken bone, the last thing you want is surgery if the bone doesn't heal properly. Unfortunately with age or lacking nutrition this is an all-too-common phenomenon.

When fractured bones fail to heal, a serious complication referred to as “nonunion” can develop, meaning the bone has been interrupted or stalled somehow in the healing process.

Nonunions have meant surgery for many in the past, but a new study published in the November 2009 issue of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, shows nonunions respond very well to shock-wave therapy.

In fact, researchers say this non-invasive treatment is as equally effective as surgery when it comes to healing bones.

The study follows patients who received surgery to repair nonunions and patients who received weekly shock-wave therapy sessions for four weeks.

The results showed shock-wave therapy stimulated bone healing within six months, and patients felt better in the short-term than surgery patients. No differences in healing at 12 and 24 months could be seen between the two groups!  Pretty cool, eh?!

How does it work? Shock-wave therapy helps reduce pain and appears to induce a regeneration of bone by stimulating certain growth factors, and this stimulation prompts a metabolic reaction similar to what occurs during the natural bone-healing process.

Hmm...reminds me of an article this kat discussed long ago on the healing effects of purring. Here's a more recent summary of the research. ^..^

And, to keep your bones strong and able to heal, make sure you're getting plenty of bone-friendly nutrition like calcium with magnesium and vitamin D3.
