Low stomach acid is associated with, and a risk factor for, autoimmune disease and inflammation in the gut.

The acid in your stomach protects you from the bacteria in your mouth and the parasites and fungi in your food.

When you have low stomach acid, it leads to improper digestion and the invasion of microbes into your small intestine. Low stomach acid is associated with, and a risk factor for, autoimmune disease and inflammation in the gut.

We are beginning to learn that low stomach acid is perhaps one of the major causes of chronic disease. It is estimated that 40% of people over the age of 50 are low in stomach acid.

Low stomach acid has been caused by:

• stress
• nutrient deficiencies
• antacids: Nexium, Zantac and Prilosec.

It is estimated that up to 33 percent of people are unable to completely absorb fructose - or fruit sugar (levulose) twice as sweet as sucrose (table sugar).

Some people experience "indigestion" after eating fresh fruits, such as grapes, pears, cherries or apples. For this reason they try to stay away from all fruits.

These problems, however, quite often are due to fructose intolerance, the inability of the body to properly digest fructose, a sugar common to the Western diet. And it is estimated that up to 33 percent of persons are unable to completely absorb fructose - or fruit sugar (levulose) twice as sweet as sucrose (table sugar).

Fructose intolerance involves several non-specific symptoms, such as

• flatulence (gas),
• intestinal cramps (abdominal pain and tension),
• bloating (abdominal distension),
• excess belching,
• diarrhea, or
• fatigue.

Fructose may also cause the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and may be an underlying cause of some cases of IBS due to its malabsorption.

Fructose intolerance can be diagnosed by a breath test.

Naturally occuring in fruits, fructose can be found in sweeteners such as high-fructose corn syrup (up to 55 percent), soda (soft drinks), fruit juices, candy and certain canned foods.

Fructose in the Western diet has greatly increased in the past decade and will continue to increase as people are eating much more processed and canned foods.

A very effective treatment of this condition is modification of the diet, especially avoidance of high-fructose foods, fruits in particular.

Among several popular fruits the lowest fructose content show:

• apricots (0.94 gram of fructose per 100 grams/0.94%),
• nectarines (1.37 grams/1.37%),
• peaches (1.53 grams/1.53%),
• cantaloupes (1.87 grams/1.87%).

However, it does not mean that these fruits are low in sugar, as they contain significant amounts of… another form of sugar, namely sucrose (table sugar). Their sucrose content is as follows:

• apricots (5.87 grams of sucrose per 100 grams/5.87%),
• nectarines (4.87 grams/4.87%),
• peaches (4.76 grams/4.76%)
• cantaloupes (4.35 grams/4.35%).

As you can see, whole fruits are both a source of fructose and – sucrose. And sugar is a sort of "good" and "bad" guy at the same time with fruits as a perfect example. Some of them are high in fructose but low in sucrose, and vice versa.

Watermelon, for instance, is low in sucrose (1.21%) but at the same time much higher in fructose (3.36%). Apricots on the other hand are low in fructose (0.94%) but very high in sucrose (5.87%). The same applies to other low-high, fructose-sucrose fruits like persimmons, plums, nectarines, peaches and cantaloupes.

So as far as fruit consumption is concerned, the only practical solution is their limited consumption. Because fruits are a considerable source of sugar in our today's diet (already full of sugar!), their daily intake should be carefully monitored by all people, not only those whose health condition could be adversely affected by the sugar, diabetics and pre-diabetics in particular.

Like with many other things in our life, eating fruits in moderation is a win-win situation.

Taking digestive enzymes is a common answer. However, only a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme supplement - like XTRAGEST, for example - can restore the digestive function by complementing (not replacing!) the body's own production of digestive enzymes.

Why is that?

A complete digestive aid supports every link in the digestive chain - including:

• stomach acid (HCL),
• stomach enzymes,
• pancreatic enzymes, and
• bile (especially important for those who have had their gall bladders removed!).

The lack of a single ingredient can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the whole formulation.

FULL OF HEALTH, INC. Since 1996 XTRAGEST: Digestive Enzyme Supplement to Support Digestive Tract Function and Nutrient Absorption.† † This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Full of Health is a registered trademark of Full of Health, Inc.

In our experience using XTRAGEST, this broad-spectrum multiple enzyme formulation should be given the attention it undoubtedly deserves.

XTRAGEST contains 7 digestive enzymes along with ox bile, pancreas substance and betaine hydrochloride in specific amounts and ratios. Each enzyme works on a specific substance in the body:

• Lipase enzymes help digest and assimilate fats.
• Protease enzymes including bromelain, pepsin, trypsin and papain all digest proteins into smaller units (peptides and amino acids) for better absorption and utilization. Proteolytic enzymes also support comfort and provide building blocks for injured tissues.
• Ox Bile aids in fat digestion by emulsifying fats in the small intestine for fat absorption. Along with Pancreas Substance, it is enteric coated to ensure their release in the body at the proper digestive interval.
• Amylase enzymes breakdown carbohydrates.
• Cellulase enzymes digest fiber.
• Betaine Hydrochloride provides a source of hydrochloric acid, which is not considered a digestive enzyme, but is necessary for the proper function of enzymes.

As one of the most comprehensive enzyme supplements available today, XTRAGEST is beneficial for:

• Individuals over 40 years of age (as we age, enzyme secretion decreases).
• Those with no gallbladder.
• Those under stress.
• Those who eat a lot of fried, grilled or baked foods (foods prepared at high temperatures for long periods of time lose naturally occurring enzyme activity).
• Those who overuse antacids (overuse of antacids can decrease enzyme effectiveness and secretion).
• Those with jaw or teeth problems (improper chewing of food decreases enzyme secretion).
• Those with injured tissues by providing building blocks with proteolytic enzymes.
• People with deficient digestive enzymes (those who lack digestive enzymes are more prone to digestive problems).

* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Therefore, before you make a decision, please take a moment to think about your digestion and ask yourself: Do I experience any of the symptoms of indigestion such as:

• burping,
• belching,
• bloating,
• flatulence,
• halitosis (bad breath),
• nausea,
• constipation,
• a burning sensation in the stomach, and/or
• a full, sluggish feeling after eating a heavy meal of meat or other protein?

If your answer is "Yes" or "Not sure," then consider taking XTRAGEST to ensure that you will fully benefit from your improved eating habits.

Also, it is our experience that by optimizing our digestion you can be certain that your gut breaks down CLAREVASA and gets it into the bloodstream, where it can do its work productively.

A change in diet and, eventually, in lifestyle is not an easy task, especially for those who have little time for meals.

The majority of people still remain confused about the most effective way to protect their cardiovascular health. As a matter of fact, we all can't seem to adapt ourselves to all those "dietary and lifestyle plans" for the long haul. We all seem to wait for the Holy Grail of diet and lifestyle to be found.

Definitely, when it comes to atherosclerosis, foods have a direct impact on the quality of our blood vessels. We all know perfectly well, for example, that what we eat does affect the blood lipids, and that we do not need new cholesterol-lowering drugs to keep the cardiovascular system healthy.

Therefore, the first line of any treatment - medical or alternative - should always be a change in our diet and, eventually, lifestyle. But deciding which "diet" to choose is not an easy task.

But if you really want to eat to control atherosclerosis you need to answer yourself the following question: "What Am I Going To Eat?"

Fish, especially fatty fish, such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon, are the main predominant source of omega-3 oils - the essential fatty acids, so named because without them we die.

More recent research has established that the most beneficial and active of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are:

• EPA - short for eicosapentaenoic (EE-coe-suh-pent-uh-noy-ick) acid, and
• DHA - short for docosahexaenoic (DOE-coe-suh-hex-uh-noy-ick) acid.

Unfortunately, it is estimated that over 85 percent of people in the Western world are... deficient in beneficial omega-3 oils.

The pandemic physical inactivity is now seen as the '21st century smoking' being responsible for about 10% of cases of premature heart disease.

Fitness is not like money; you cannot store it in the bank and let it grow with interest. You must use it or - lose it. Once you are on an exercise program, you must stay on it or the benefits quickly disappear.

150 minutes (2.5 hours) of physical activity a week is the recommended amount of exercise for baby boomers - those born between 1947 and 1966. It isn't a lot, but it will go a long way to guarantee the quality of life.

As the saying goes, a little workout never killed anyone.

Don't give in, don't give up!

As contrary to standard medicine, atherosclerotic processes in the cardiovascular system can be halted and/or reversed nutritionally, arterial cleansing can be of great benefit to you. You can win this battle and you can get well again.

What sets it apart from conventional medical methods is that the nutritional arterial cleansing - by keeping atherosclerotic plaques in solution - helps to wash them away safely and gradually. In other words, the nutritional method does NOT pull away "chunks of plaque" that could plug up the arteries further downstream!

Why?

Because, by definition, dietary supplements nourish and heal (never destruct!) - a characteristic which is not true for any medicine. It's no wonder, then, the nutritional arterial cleansing helps make the plaques disappear and, at the same time, prevents formation of new atheromas. That's how the body functions and works - by nourishing and healing itself in order to maintain homeostasis and prevent any damage to it.

So if you or a loved one is dealing with this atherosclerosis, it certainly can't hurt to add therapeutic levels of cardioprotective nutrients to your daily regimen.

As soon as you begin improving the flow of oxygen-dense and nutrients-dense blood in the entire cardiovascular tree, you will start experiencing, almost immediately - literally, within weeks ! - such positive changes as:

• an increase in energy;

Palpation of Posterior Tibial Pulse

• pain-free walking;
• reduction in angina (chest pain) attacks;
• warmer hands and feet;
• measurable posterior tibial pulse (peripheral circulation);
• reduction of shaking/trembling in hands, and tingling in hands and/or feet, if any;
• improved mental alertness, cognition and memory;
• less need for sleep;
• better vision, and even
• better skin tone, resulting in a younger look.

The nutritional arterial cleansing - believe it or not! - can even help you improve your functional age (not the same as chronological age!) by adding more active years to your life.

First of all, however, the nutritional arterial cleansing can help you control the atherosclerosis risk factors, such as:

• hypertension,
• high blood levels of
  • lipoprotein (a),
  • homocysteine,
  • fibrinogen,
  • LDL-"bad" cholesterol,
  • triglycerides,
• nutritional deficiencies,
• complications of diabetes.

The nutritional arterial cleansing can help you avoid such consequences of atherosclerosis as:

• coronary artery disease (leading to angina, heart attack, heart failure),
• carotid artery disease (leading to stroke),
• peripheral artery disease (pain in the lower limbs on walking, typically in the calf muscle, a condition called intermittent claudication, leading to foot gangrene and/or amputation),
• restenosis (obstruction of bypass grafts and stents),
• kidney damage,
• "eye stroke",
• erectile dysfunction (in men),
• mesentric ischemia (inadequate blood supply to the small intestine).

The nutritional arterial cleansing can help you avoid the risks of standard medical treatments such as:

• balloon angioplasty,
• stenting,
• endarterectomy,
• vascular bypass (coronary, cerebral, peripheral),
• amputation.

The nutritional arterial cleansing can complement or - in some cases - even replace the invtravenous (IV) chelation therapy. It may also help cut your dependence on medications such as anti-cholesterol drugs, aspirin, blood thinners, diuretics, nitroglycerin, etc.

The nutritional arterial cleansing can also help rejuvenate arteries and prevent their premature aging. As the joy of life depends on a sound cardiovascular system, with the arterial cleansing formula and its long list of health benefits you have nothing to lose - and your arterial health to gain.

Who says, then, that the nutritional arterial cleansing does not work? Those, who think that micronutrients, vitamins and anti-oxidants are not necessary for our health and that optimum nutrition is not important.

Why do they think and act that way? Because they don't want to learn and just keep ignoring the impressive results - not only heard about, but also seen and experienced by people who have undergone the nutritional arterial cleansing.

Are you still wondering whether or not it can help you achieve the healthy life you so richly deserve?

Or maybe you're just making excuses and waiting for somebody to hand your arterial health over to you. If so, it's not going to happen. You've got to do it yourself by taking responsibility for your own health. If not, you may fall victim to the cariodvascular diseases that are taking so many lives away from so many people, even at the very moment you are reading this website. In other words, if you allow your body to succumb to atherosclerosis, you will greatly increase your chances of getting a heart attack, stroke, vascular dementia, or peripheral artery disease.

But if you explore with an open mind and heart the concept of nutritional arterial cleansing and apply it effectively in your life, it might help you - not absolutely but with a very high order of probability - to prevent, fight and reverse the inevitable effects of this ruthless killer.

It's not quite true that allopathic (drug) medicine is the only way to get well. It's just a myth, a moneymaking illusion created and constantly reinforced by the pharmaceutical industry and medical establishment. This popularly accepted myth, then, must be debunked and brought to an end. With CLAREVASA, we strongly believe that you can help to make it happen!
