Top 10 Ways to Burn Calories Without Exercising By: Vaughn Gray

Of course, you still need to exercise, but......

1. Eat Regular Meals Regular meals translate into a higher metabolism and more calories burned though your day. Skipped meals slow metabolism and make your body think that it is starving, encouraging it to hold on to fat. When you miss meals, you end up gaining more weight in spite of eating fewer calories. Shoot to eat three or four meals per day, and avoid snacking in between.

2. Eat Fiber Fiber cleans our your digestive tract, and a clean digestive tract is critical to proper digestion. Since improperly digested food is more likely to end up being stored as fat, eating enough fiber

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 5

directly prevents fat storage. In addition, fiber both fills you up, meaning you consume fewer calories, and slows down the digestion of carbohydrates, which also helps prevent fat storage. Finally, processing fiber through your body actually burns calories.

3. Drink Plenty of Water Fat gets burned through a process called ìhydrolysisî which literally translates as ìbreaking with waterî. Every molecule of fat in your body has to go through this process before you can burn it for energy. As a result, if you aren’t properly hydrated, your body can’t burn fat as efficiently. Drink 3 to 4 liters of quality water per day to keep your fat burning biochemistry working at full speed.

4. Get Up and Move for at Least 5 Minutes Every 90 Ok, so this is technically exercise, but were just talking about walking here. The point isn’t to burn fat directly by walking around for five minutes that won’t happen. But a brief walk every 90 to 120 minutes will keep your metabolism up, meaning you’ll burn more fat across the course of your day.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 6

5. Visualize Exercise Seriously, this works! The doctors and trainers for the US Olympic team have knows for decades that closing your eyes and picturing exercise activates many of the same nerves and muscles as actually doing exercise, resulting in some of the same changes in the body. Daily exercise visualization sessions can increase cardiovascular health, and even raise metabolism, helping to reduce fat stores. Check out The Power of Visualization for tips on how to put visualization to work in your life.

6. Breathe Deeply Your body cannot burn fat without oxygen. Shallow breathing leads to low levels of oxygen in your blood, and less efficient fat burning. In addition, shallow breathing elevates stress hormones, which cause your body to hold on to fat. Check out our Breathing Tutorial for more.

7. Think Thin Have you’ve heard of the placebo effect? Basically, the idea is that if you are given a fake medicine, but you believe that it is real, it will have some of the effects of a real drug. Placebo weight loss drugs which are nothing but

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 7

salt pills actually help people lose weight in medical studies. This is an unequivocal testament to the power of our minds over our bodies. Picture your body the way you want it to be, will it to change, and put the placebo effect to work!

8. Get Enough Sleep Deep sleep leads to a healthier metabolism, which translates into more calories burned throughout your day. In addition, sleep is the time when your body recharges your biochemistry, including the chemicals you need to burn fat. Lack of sleep will interfere with all of your health and fitness goals.

9. Get Some Sun in the Morning Natural sunlight in the morning tells the body that it’s time to get up and go. All sorts of biochemical changes take place in response to the sun in the morning, and just about all of these result in an increase in metabolism. It’s difficult to wake up fully without a little sunlight, and if you don’t wake up fully, you won’t burn as many calories during the normal business of your day. If you can’t get access to real sunlight in the morning, think about buying a sun square, Ott lamp, or another source of full spectrum light.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 8

10. Eat Healthy Meats and Fish Many meats and fish are rich in chemicals that have positive effects on metabolism. The Omega 3 fats in wild caught (not farm raised) salmon and the stimulatory ammino acids in pork can both help you burn more calories. Beef is rich in a chemical called L-Carnitine that helps your body convert fat into fuel. Some studies have shown that supplementing with L-Carnitine can aid efforts to lose weight. But getting it straight from the natural source is best. Find some steak or ground beef that is either, organic, or, best of all, grass fed. Cows are meant to eat grass, rather than the diet of soy, corn, and other processed grains that most cows are fed. Cows raised on grains are overweight and sickly (just like people who are raised on processed grains). A healthy diet of grass leads to a healthier cow with healthier meat. Think about eating a serving (3-5oz, about the size of a deck of cards) of organic or grass fed beef each week. Meats are great for most people’s metabolism in moderation. They only lead to weight gain and ill health when eaten in excess. For most people’s metabolism, 3-6 servings of meat/fish per week is ideal. Your free ReEvolution Fitness Action Plan can help you figure out exactly how much meat is best for you.

Choline Punch Letter from Doctor Al Sears:

Dear Garey , When I was hiking through the Amazon Rain Forest last year, I had a first-hand experience with a remarkable healing herb… Sacred to the nearby Guarani tribe, it was literally a gift from the gods. According to tribal folklore, the Indians of the Amazon River Basin have been using it to prevent fatigue and increase physical endurance since before recorded history. I took it in the early morning before we hit the trail. After 18 hours through the jungles of Peru my mind was

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 10

crystal clear and I had no feeling of fatigue. Looking back, I had covered 15 miles of rugged terrain without feeling tired or worn out. I realized that combining this ancient herb with cutting edge brain nutrients would create a powerful new formula. Not only would it give you more energy without crashing, it would help your memory too.* But the story gets better… After I got home, I started putting the pieces together. Working nights and weekends I had a trial formula within the first six weeks. Using myself as a test subject, I gave it a try. Right from the start I knew I was on to something. I tapped into a deep source of mental energy, heightened memory and a laser-like focus throughout the day. All the individual components of my formula are backed up by modern clinical studies. And now for the first time, you can feel the startling results for yourself.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 11

Here’s how it works.

Kick Start Your Morning Without Feeling Nervous or Jittery The Amazon herb that kept me alert yet relaxed comes from a seed called Paullina cupana. The active compound is guaranine, a member of the caffeine family. But unlike regular caffeine, it’s full of healthy fatty acids. The good fat gives guaranine a slow release. Its effect will gradually increase over a period of hours. It doesn’t pick you up and throw you down like quick release caffeine. There’s no crash with this stuff… and you don’t get any of the nervous, jittery energy you do with caffeine. Caffeine gets a bad rap sometimes but it’s the most widely used drug in the world. And it’s a proven mental performance booster. The studies number in the hundreds. One published in Neurology found that three cups of coffee a day cuts your risk of mental decline by over 50%.1

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 12

But there’s a catch. Coffee gives you a short burst of energy, but overheats and excites your body. Guaranine has a cooling action that revitalizes and relaxes.The end result is more beneficial to your body. You get all the energy and alertness but remain calm, cool and collected.* A team of Brazilian scientists studied the effects on rats. Their results were not surprising. Guaranine increased their physical activity, increased their physical endurance under stress and improved their memory.2* But like I said, the story gets even better…

Give Your Brain the Power of Total Recall and Extreme Alertness The effect of the Paullina cupana seed was amazing. It me gave the endurance to trek through the Amazon and left me with a wonderful feeling of clarity. But I was starting to see the bigger picture. The Rain Forest herb works its magic by releasing acetylcholine in your brain. Acetyl-choline is a neurotransmitter. It’s the brain chemical that lets your nerve cells fire through the synapse or gap that exists between the trillions of neurons in your brain.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 13

If you have lots of acetylcholine, your mind is sharp and your memory is clear. When you drink coffee in the morning, the release of acetylcholine gives you the buzz that gets you going.* But there’s a problem… coffee will burn you out because it depletes your reserve of acetylcholine. Guaranine is slow acting with none of the caffeine side effects but it works in the same way. Eventually you lose your reserve of acetylcholine. But if you trigger a release of acetylcholine and then rebuild your reserves you can sustain the amazing rush of clarity over the long term.*

That’s The Realization I Had While Hiking Through The Forest… I knew I could get the best of both worlds if I combined guaranine with powerful brain nutrients. One of them is choline, the building block required for the synthesis of acetylcholine. Introduce choline into the mix and you give your body the ability to manufacture this incredibly powerful neurotransmitter.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 14

When you combine choline and guaranine you get a bigger release of acetylcholine – even more than taking guaranine on its own. That’s what gives you the feeling of energy and mental power. But instead of depleting your reserves and burning out, you build them up.* That means you can take my formula every day and get the same effect every time.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 15

Getting More Choline is Essential – Your Brain Needs it for Thinking and Remembering Your brain has a huge appetite for choline. It’s the primary building block for acetylcholine. You burn it up 24/7 as your brain uses it to maintain clear communication between trillions of neurons. You need it for all the basics like thought, memory and sleep. It even controls how you move. Your muscles receive commands from your brain via acetylcholine. That means your sense of balance and stability is controlled by this key transmitter. Like many nutrients, your supply of choline drops as you get older. As this happens, you can expect some or all of these symptoms: Poor recall and memory loss • Fatigue or lack of energy • Brain fog and/or a sense of confusion • Problems falling asleep, tossing and turning

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 16

• Unable to catch on, or learn new things • Feeling distracted or irritable • Walking with a wobbly or shaky gait, unable to stay balanced • When Your Brain Doesn’t Get Enough Choline • It Starts to Destroy Itself…

To survive, your body will scavenge materials from other sources when it can’t get enough from its main supplier. When choline levels drop off, your brain goes on a scavenger hunt and extracts choline from nerve cell membranes. This last resort is called “auto-cannibalism” and it’s very dangerous. In the short term, your brain will use this technique to keep your memory and other functions up and running. But in the long run, your nerve cells end up badly damaged. In the graph below, you can see how the nutrients DMAE and choline turn into the key neurotransmitter acetylcholine. DMAE is another powerful brain nutrient I will tell you about a

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 17

little later. It’s also in my formula. First, I want you to see the direct connection choline has to its end product acetylcholine.

As you can see, choline is one small step away from acetylcholine. Put more choline into your body and your brain gets more of the neurotransmitter that keeps your mind alert and your memory fresh.*

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 18

Clinical Studies Prove Connection Between Choline and Memory It’s very possible you’ve never heard of choline. Most people haven’t. But it’s one of the most important nutrients on the planet. And it’s well researched. There are dozens of studies testing both animals and humans. Here are just a few: • Researchers who gave rats a choline supplement found they developed a sharper and longer memory than rats that didn’t have extra choline. On day one, both groups of rats were performing their tasks successfully. This included avoiding electric shock as they moved through a maze. • On day two, the rats that didn’t have the extra choline forgot about the electric shock and got zapped. But the rats that had the extra choline remembered the booby traps and successfully avoided getting shocked.3 • In a human study, researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago tested people with a choline deficiency. They gave them a series of memory tests and found below average scores. In the next stage, they divided the same people into two groups. One group received extra choline, the other didn’t.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 19

After 24 weeks, both groups repeated the memory tests. Not surprisingly, the group with the extra choline performed with flying colors and their results showed a dramatic improvement over the first round. The group that received no extra choline performed poorly. Their results showed no improvement over the first round.4*

Burn through Your Crossword with Lightning Speed… My unique blend of choline and guaranine is like rocket fuel for your brain. Not only does it give you a better boost than your morning cup of coffee, it gives you the clarity of a mental giant. You’ll notice the lift right away. If you do crosswords you’ll finish them in a fraction of the time. Things like organization, recall and comprehension just fall into place. When you read something, you “get it.” When someone is explaining something, you understand what they’re getting at before they even get to the point. You move into a feeling of extreme alertness. You’re aware of everything and it’s all so clear. The processing speed of your brain gets a twin-turbo boost. It’s like stepping up to one of those super-computers NASA uses for space flight.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 20

One of the experiences I appreciate most is the “alert but calm” feeling. Your mind can relax and let go. Your focus becomes almost laser like. And it lasts throughout the day. It’s not a shortlived spike like coffee or other caffeine drinks. I could have stopped there… choline and guaranine are enough to repair and rejuvenate your aging brain. But there’s another key brain booster essential to my formula.*

Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Health There’s one more thing you need to know about this formula… It has a very unique and clinically proven “side effect”: It supports your heart and brain health.* How is this possible? Boosting the level of choline in your blood has a powerful effect on homocysteine and C-reactive protein (CRP). If you’re a regular reader you’ve probably heard about these powerful markers. They are both better indicators for heart and brain health than anything else – including cholesterol.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 21

Research has demonstrated that homocysteine causes oxidative stress to the vascular endothelium and that maintaining healthy levels of homocysteine is important for heart health.* Your body produces C-reactive protein as part of its overall defense. When part of your body is injured, it sends signals to the rest of your body for help. Your immune system then sends out white blood cells and inflammatory molecules including CRP to the injured area. Once there, the defense cells try to fix damaged areas and fight off the intruder. But this defensive response causes inflammation. The inflammatory response needs energy in the form of oxidative “fire” which can damage surrounding tissues. Spikes in CRP levels are an early sign of inflammation in your body. That’s why CRP is such a good indicator. We can evaluate heart health using CRP levels better than with cholesterol levels. The New England Journal of Medicine published a massive study on CRP. Almost 28,000 people participated in the trial. Researchers discovered that CRP predicted cardiovascular health better than LDL cholesterol.10

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 22

Here’s the good news: The choline in my formula brings down your levels of both homocysteine and CRP.* Here are a few of the studies that back this up: • An experiment published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition followed two groups of men. One group ate a diet with no choline. The other group took a choline supplement. The men with no choline saw a steep rise in homocysteine. After just 10 days, their homocysteine went up by 35%.11* • Researchers discovered that people who consume higher amounts of choline have lower levels of homocysteine and CRP. The study followed two groups of people. One group averaged less than 250-mg of choline a day. The other group averaged more than 310-mg of choline a day. The group who averaged above 310-mg saw their CRP drop by 22%.12* Not only does choline ramp up your mental energy and protect your memory, it helps wipe out the two predictors of coming disaster.*

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 23

Here’s Another Mental Boost: Confidence If this is the first time you’ve heard about choline, you may be surprised to hear it does so much. But once you feel the results for yourself you’ll understand. After taking my choline formula, many of my patients tell me they feel more confident about the future. Instead of sitting around the house worrying about what might happen, they feel like they’re back in the driver’s seat. That’s what happens when you have real options. Knowledge is power. But I wouldn’t be surprised if sometimes you feel like you’re being kept in the dark. Many doctors make their patients feel like children or fools. Or both. They hand out prescriptions and give you an attitude if you ask questions. I’ve always believed real medicine is about empowerment. Not secrecy. With this blend of super nutrients, you have the power to keep your mind clear and strong as you age. It keeps your brain young and well fed. And when it’s working in peak condition your risk of problems drop dramatically.*

Greet the Morning with a Clear Head and a Warm Smile Since I’ve been using my choline formula I haven’t touched a cup of coffee. I don’t need to. The feeling of “awakeness” I get is far better than anything from Starbucks. And the effect lasts all day. To get your own taste of clarity, just choose your offer below.

Primal Lean Letter from Doctor Al Sears:

Dear Garey , This newly discovered West African herb is the closest you’ll get to effortless weight loss. It may be the most successful weight loss compound ever tested. I’ve never seen anything like it. And it’s 100% natural and completely safe. Let me explain…

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 28

Take Up to 6 Inches off Your Belly in Just 10 Weeks When the rest of the world catches up – this little-known West African herb could become recognized as the most effective weight loss supplement ever discovered. But you can start using it to drop pounds – and lose inches – RIGHT NOW. My own enhanced version of this formula is ready today. It’s even more effective than the compound researchers used in the clinical tests. I’ll show you how to get started in this letter. First, I want you to see the results. The people in this study – which was published in the medical journal Lipids in Health and Disease – lost an average of 28 pounds and 6 inches off their belly. And they didn’t change their diet or exercise habits.1

Reset Your Body Clock and Burn Fat Like You Did Years Ago There’s an all-natural herb that grows deep in the forests of West Africa. And it resets your body’s “fat signals” to the point where you naturally and easily resist the production of new fat

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 29

cells – just like you did when you were in college. Remember those days? When you could eat anything you wanted, and nothing made you fat. It’s easy when you’re young. But as you age, things get thrown off balance. Our modern diet is processed and full of additives and other toxins. Combine that with getting older and you throw off your body’s “fat signals.” These signals tell your body how much fat to make and store. That’s why it’s hard to lose weight as you age… even when you try your best to eat right and exercise. This herb improves those signals and resets your body’s delicate machinery. When it regains its balance your body has the ability to control fat production – just like it did when you were younger.

This Miracle Nutrient Helps Burn Fat Away… Staying lean and trim as you age is not easy. You can eat right and exercise and still end up with a “spare tire” around your belly. It doesn’t seem fair. But if you know why this is happening you can do something about it. Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 30

The West African herb – called irvingia gabonensis – can help you get that extra weight off. It’s one of the all-star nutrients in my new slimming formula Primal Lean. How does it work? Your body has a “signal network” that controls your fat cells. If this communication system breaks down, your fat cells get bigger and bigger… and you get more and more of them. As you age that’s exactly what happens.

Fat Signal #1: Burning Fat for Energy – Naturally When things are running smoothly, your fat cells produce leptin. This messenger sends out two signals: One, it tells your brain you’re full. That shuts down your hunger. Two, it tells the fat inside your cells to breakdown into a kind of fat that can be burned as energy. When these signals are working, you don’t get hungry as often and your fat gets burned naturally.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 31

But when too many fat cells build up, a protein called CRP sticks to the leptin and prevents it from delivering its message to your brain. Signal lost. This is called leptin resistance. The bottom line is you’ll always feel hungry and the fat inside your cells will stay there forever. When this happens it triggers a series of other signal problems.

Fat Signal #2: Controlling Sensitivity to the “Fat Hormone” Another messenger – adiponectin – controls your sensitivity to insulin. When you have lots of adiponectin, your body responds well to insulin and everything is fine – your waist is small, your heart is healthy and your arteries are clear. But as you age, your levels of this critical fat signal drop… then you’re more likely to get bigger and fatter.

Fat Signal #3: The Bad Guy… Turning Blood Sugar into Fat The 3rd messenger is actually a bad guy you want to get rid of… it’s called glycerol-3phosphate dehydrogenase. This enzyme turns blood sugar into fat. Not what you want.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 32

The magic behind Primal Lean is its ability to restore your body’s signal network. After a few weeks the leptin signal to your brain is reconnected, adiponectin levels rise and the bad guy – the fat making enzyme – gets cut off. Problem solved. You see, as you age these fat signals get thrown off. No matter how much you exercise or how well you eat you could always be vulnerable to age-related fat gain. Unless, of course, you have a communication network that’s firing on all cylinders. When it does, it’s a beautiful thing to see. Extra weight and fat simply begin disappearing – in a matter of weeks! How many years have you been fighting the love handles… the pot belly? Probably decades. In 10 weeks or less you’ll drop a good chunk of that extra fat… I guarantee it. Compared to years of struggle 10 weeks seems to happen overnight.

As Soon as I Discovered this Breakthrough Fat Buster I Called a Few of My Patients… I read this study back in December. Within days I had a dozen sample bottles. As the Christmas holiday approached I already had a few volunteers. One my patients – Arlene H. – started taking this weight loss herb on December 18, 2008. Here’s an excerpt from her letter:

“I’m always interested in new Dr. Sears formulas so I was excited – although a bit skeptical – to hear about this new weight loss herb from Africa. I started taking it right before the holidays, so I was probably eating more than I normally do, but I noticed an effect within a few weeks. My hips and waist started to feel tighter. My ‘love handles’ were the big deal for me… it was the only place I really felt self-conscious. I have this favorite pair of white, Capri-style jeans and I could not get them on. They were so tight I just left them in the closet. After a while I broke down and bought a few other pairs of jeans that were a few inches bigger in the waist. These were my new ‘fat clothes.’

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 34

But luckily, after about 7 or 8 weeks I didn’t need them anymore. I slimmed down and in spite of all the holiday food I got back into the Capri pants… Even better, my “fat jeans” started to slide right off me… it feels like a real victory. But honestly I didn’t do anything. I didn’t change the way I eat and I didn’t really exercise… After the ten-week period I asked Dr. Sears if I could keep going. I didn’t want to give up this new fat loss secret… who would?!” Arlene H.; Wellington, FL This is a typical response. Everyone who tries it has something good to say about it… And when they run out they always want more. No one wants to stop taking it. When you have a good thing going, why stop? Primal Lean may be one of the best ways to firm up and tone down – without spending hours in the gym or forcing yourself to eat bird food. Before the study, the group taking the herb in Primal Lean averaged 215 pounds. After the study they averaged 187 pounds – for a net average loss of 28 pounds.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 35

The control group started at 212 pounds and went to 211 pounds. They lost an average of one pound, which means nothing happened. But hold on a sec, there’s more to this than burning fat. Remember… This bombshell study first appeared in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease. “Lipids” means “fatty acids,” like cholesterol. The editors of this medical journal were more interested in the remarkable way this herb normalizes blood fats. Recognize any of these names? Total cholesterol… HDL… LDL… Blood glucose… C-reactive protein… These are some of the terms you’ll find on your blood tests when you go to a doctor. Like the “fat signals” that normalize your body’s natural fat burning, this West African herb has the power to “normalize” other parts of your body too.

Vol. I No. 5 November 2009

page 36

This kind of herb is called an adaptogen. An adaptogen is a natural substance that helps your body adapt to stress and exerts a normalizing effect on bodily processes. Ginseng is a good example. But this potent weight loss herb is more powerful. It’s more than just a tonic you take for increased energy. It has very specific talents. It ramps up your body’s ability to burn fat and may help promote normal cholesterol and c-reactive protein levels. That makes it a monumental find. If you take this herb by itself you’ll get great results. But there’s a way to make it better… a way to make it stronger and more effective.

Lose Your Urge to Overeat… I didn’t just take an herb and put it in a bottle. I made it my own. If I limited Primal Lean to the West African herb I discovered in the study you would have heard about it back in December.

That’s not the case. I have something better. I found out about this new herb while I was working on another fat buster called fucoxanthin. (Pronounced: fu co ZAN thin) This is a seaweed extract with powerful fat burning properties. And it quiets your appetite almost immediately. When you’re not hungry it’s much easier for irvingia gabonensis to do its job. And of course, it’s easier to lose weight. Here’s what a few of my patients are saying:

Since I started taking Primal Lean about three weeks ago, I have noticed the appetite suppressant right away! I really like how I feel and not having those cravings is awesome. I take it 15 minutes before I have a meal. When I get stressed out, I will usually have cravings and snack on food a lot. Since I have been taking the Primal Lean, that is not an issue any more. Now, I enjoy eating

and the cravings have disappeared. That really helps me out with not gaining extra weight and staying healthy!” – Penny M.; Wellington, FL “[After taking Primal Lean] I felt my appetite disappear right away, no doubt about it. I just wasn’t hungry anymore. I don’t snack anymore… I don’t want to and I don’t need to. And my pants are too big, that’s another great thing. I had to go digging in my close and pull out a pair of jeans I hadn’t worn in years… and they fit! Amazing stuff.” – Cindy L.; Wellington, FL

Japanese Researchers Discover Fucoxanthin By Accident When a group of Japanese marine biologists fed their study animals with fucoxanthin something remarkable happened… a microscopic protein – called UCP1 – suddenly became active.

This protein turns up your metabolic furnace and lets your cells burn fat for energy – not during exercise but while you’re resting. This nutritious and very safe seaweed extract actually flips your metabolic switch and “turns on” your body’s fat burning machinery. Clinical tests suggest fucoxanthin is a powerful fat buster. Many are animal tests but there are some very exciting human tests too. The Japanese researchers were startled by the results. So they went work. In a series of experiments they gave two groups of mice the same diet, but one group supplemented with fucoxanthin. In the fat tissue of the mice that supplemented with fucoxanthin the researchers found high levels of the fat-burning protein UCP1. As a result, those mice lost a significant amount of fat. In the control group there was no difference.2 The same researchers later discovered that fucoxanthin even prevented potential fat cells from “growing up” and becoming mature fat cells.3

Not only does fucoxanthin help you burn fat you already have… it helps prevent the formation of future fat cells. It stops fat dead in its tracks. Clinical studies suggest fucoxanthin may be effective for people too. The trials were finished last year and the studies have been submitted for publication. From what I’ve seen, they look impressive. In the test group, people taking fucoxanthin lost an average of 15 pounds in four months. The people in the control group lost just three pounds. These results have not been published yet, but those are good numbers.4

I’m Very Excited about Primal Lean – The Results are Impressive Primal Lean is setting records in my office. It’s safe and effective. And everyone who tries it wants to stay on it. Just keep in mind… it takes eight to ten weeks before you feel the whole effect. You will probably notice something before that. Many of my patients do. (And the appetite suppressant kicks in right away.)

But in the spirit of full disclosure I want you to understand that it takes a couple of months to really kick in. There’s a reason for that. Primal Lean is not a drug. It’s a safe and natural remedy that resets and rebalances key systems in your body. It takes time for these systems to return to normal. But like I said, if you look back and consider all the years you’ve tried every new idea that came along… ten weeks feels like nothing!

I Want You to Feel this for Yourself… I sent you this special invitation so you could experience first hand the amazing results Primal Lean can offer – without risk or regret. Take my 10-week Primal Lean challenge. Lose all the fat you want. If it disappoints you I’ll pick up the tab. I’ll pay for the whole thing. As my loyal reader I’ve chosen you to be the first one who gets this new formula… and your results are guaranteed.

Vitamin D3 Can Help Prevent the Flu The Sunshine Pill. Vitamin D3 is responsible for many functions in the body and one thing is for certain, we are not getting enough. Lifestyle is one reason and Autumn/Winter sun restrictions is another. In early October 2009, I listened to three medical radio shows back to back on local radio. All three shows were about Vitamin D3. One of my favorite doctors, Dr. Bill Pawlek recommends 4000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day as the main preventative to H1N1 (and instead of the vaccine being offered that was rushed through with minimal human testing.) While conservative convention says 2,000 IU a day is sufficient, many believe this is off the mark. We suggest 3 tablets of 1,500 IU a day for a healthy adult. This may be the single most effective flu prevention out there. While its true you can get the flu even if you are doing everything possible, we still feel that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

There is a vast body of science showing the many health benefits of vitamin D. You may be surprised to learn the important role that vitamin D plays in your health. When considering Vitamin D as a supplement, it’s important to know that Vitamin D3 is best absorb by the human body.

Maintains Your Calcium Balance Maintenance of blood calcium levels within a narrow range is vital for normal functioning of the nervous system, as well as for bone growth, and maintenance of bone density. Vitamin D is essential for the efficient utilization of calcium by the body. Aids Your Cell Differentiation Cellular differentiation results in the specialization of cells for specific functions in your body. In general, differentiation of cells leads to a decrease in proliferation. While cellular proliferation is essential for growth and wound healing, uncontrolled proliferation of cells with certain mutations may lead to diseases like cancer. The active form of vitamin D, inhibits proliferation and stimulates the differentiation of cells.

Boosts Your Immunity Active vitamin D is a potent immune system modulator. There is plenty of scientific evidence that vitamin D has several different effects on immune system function that may enhance your immunity and inhibit the development of autoimmunity. Blood Pressure Regulation Adequate vitamin D levels may be important for decreasing the risk of high blood pressure. More studies on vitamin D and hypertension are necessary. Vitamin D and Diseases According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin D may play a role in the following diseases. Vitamin D and Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is most often associated with inadequate calcium intake. However, a deficiency of vitamin D also contributes to osteoporosis by reducing calcium absorption. While rickets and osteomalacia are extreme examples of vitamin D deficiency, osteopororsis is an example of a

long-term effect of vitamin D insufficiency. Adequate storage levels of vitamin D help keep bones strong and may help prevent osteoporosis in older adults, in those who have difficulty walking and exercising, in post-menopausal women, and in individuals on chronic steroid therapy.

Vitamin D deficiency, which is often seen in post-menopausal women and older Americans, has been associated with greater incidence of hip fractures.39-41 In a review of women with osteoporosis hospitalized for hip fractures, 50 percent were found to have signs of vitamin D deficiency. Daily supplementation with 20 800 IU of vitamin D may reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures in elderly populations with low blood levels of vitamin D. The Decalyos II study examined the effect of combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation in a group of elderly women who were able to walk indoors with a cane or walker. The women were studied for two years, and results suggested that such supplementation could reduce the risk of hip fractures in this population. Vitamin D and Cancer Laboratory, animal, and some preliminary human studies suggests that vitamin D may be protective against some cancers. Several studies suggest that a higher dietary intake of calcium

page 48

and vitamin D correlates with lower incidence of cancer. In fact, for over 60 years researchers have observed that greater sun exposure reduces cancer deaths. The inverse relationship between higher vitamin D levels in blood and lower cancer risk in humans is best documented for colon and colorectal cancers. Vitamin D emerged as a protective factor in a study of over 3,000 adults who underwent a colonoscopy to look for polyps or lesions in the colon. There was a significantly lower risk of advanced cancerous lesions among those with the highest vitamin D intake. Additional clinical trials need to be conducted to determine whether vitamin D deficiency increases cancer risk, or if an increased intake of vitamin D is protective against some cancers. Until such trials are conducted, it is premature to conclude you should take vitamin D supplements for cancer prevention. Vitamin D and Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s disease is associated with an increased risk of hip fractures because many Alzheimer’s patients are homebound, frequently sunlight deprived, and older. With aging, less vitamin D is converted to its active form. One study of women with Alzheimer’s disease found that decreased bone mineral density was associated with a low intake of vitamin D and inadequate sunlight exposure. More investigation on vitamin D and Alzheimers Disease is necessary.

Other Diseases Vitamin D Deficiency May Affect

Autoimmune Diseases - Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis Diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, are each examples of autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body launches an immune response to its own tissue, rather than a foreign pathogen. Treatment with vitamin D has beneficial effects in animal models of all of the above mentioned diseases. Studies have found that the prevalence of diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis increases as latitude increases, suggesting that lower exposure to sun light and associated decreases in vitamin D synthesis may play a role in the development of these diseases. The results of several studies also suggest that adequate vitamin D intake may decrease the risk of autoimmune diseases. Evidence from animal models and human studies suggests that maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels may help decrease the risk of several autoimmune diseases, but more studies are needed to draw any solid conclusions. At present, data from controlled clinical trials are too limited to determine whether vitamin D supplementation will be effective in lowering blood pressure or preventing hypertension.

Vitamin D Toxicity It is very rare to have a vitamin D overdose. Vitamin D toxicity induces abnormally high serum calcium levels (hypercalcemia), which could result in bone loss, kidney stones, and calcification of organs like the heart and kidneys if untreated over a long period of time. When the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine established the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin D, published studies that adequately documented the lowest intake levels of vitamin D that induced hypercalcemia were very limited. Because the consequences of hypercalcemia are severe, the Food and Nutrition Board established a very conservative UL of 2,000 IU/day (50 mcg/day) for children and adults. (see table below) Research published since 1997 suggests that the UL for adults is overly conservative and that vitamin D toxicity is very unlikely in healthy people at intake levels lower than 10,000 IU/day. Vitamin D toxicity has not been observed to result from sun exposure. Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for Vitamin D • Infants 0-12 months- 1000 IU • Children 1-18 years- 2000 IU • Adults 19 years and older- 2000 IU

Vitamin D3 Supplements It is not always practical to get your vitamin D from sunshine, and quite difficult to get adequate amounts from your diet so for many people, a vitamin D supplement is a practical way to ensure adequate levels of this important protector are always available in your bloodstream.
