| HEALTHY BYTES - FEBRUARY 2004 BALANCE IS THE KEY As with most systems in nature, balance is a key concept. One normal by-product of cell metabolism is the production of acids that must be quickly �neutralized� by your body's buffering system. This buffering system is a delicately balanced mechanism, constantly adjusting, making sure that your blood and tissues don't become too acid OR too alkaline. Unfortunately, the modern lifestyle puts significant strain on this system, severely overbalancing the scale toward the acid side. Stress, environmental toxins, refined foods � especially sugar in any form � can overwhelm your body's buffering system, leaving you vulnerable to the often-serious health consequences of a �too-acid� body. In fact, many researchers believe that a chronic acid condition is one of the root causes of many degenerative health conditions including: Cancer Arthritis Fibromyalgia Joint and Muscle Pain Osteoporosis High Blood Pressure High Cholesterol Edema Diabetes Gout Epstein Bar Indigestion Endometriosis Cellulitis Low Energy Overweight Heart Disease Eczema Psoriasis Liver Disease Hepatitis Insomnia Shingles Attention Deficit Disorder Allergies Asthma Thyroid Disorders So How Do You Rebalance Your pH Levels and Get the Minerals and Nutrients You Need? According to health professionals, supplements are needed to give the body what it needs. Supreme Greens with MSM is a powerful mega-food formulation of organically grown grasses, vegetables, sprouted grains, blood purifying and immune enhancing herbs, and antioxidants that will naturally balance your body�s pH. In addition to their alkalizing properties, these vegetables and herbs also provide a powerhouse of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals, supplying your body with additional support against free-radical (cellular) damage. Supreme Greens also contains a form of biological sulfur � methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) enhancing absorption. Sulfur is an important part of proteins, connective tissues, hormones, and enzymes. Liver detoxification also requires adequate sulfur stores.

Ideal Health provides individuals with customized solutions to their health and nutritional challenges through a full-line of U.S.P. grade nutritional support and supplement products. Supreme Greens Stories I didn't have any energy, never ate right, never slept, and worked out like a dog. I was having problems staying healthy enough to play football. My last year at UCLA I carried the ball 40 times a game. This was mainly because of the supplements and the acupuncture therapy I was getting. I had an enormous amount of energy. I went on to play with the Miami Dolphins and never missed a game due to injury or sickness. The biggest change I saw in my career was after I started using Supreme Greens with MSM. With this supplement I have really seen a difference. My energy is really up, and my endocrine system and sleeping pattern have improved. I recover so much faster. These products continue to keep me feeling good and keep me healing fast. It has been truly amazing! -Abdul Karim al-Jabbar, NFL Running Back I have an Olympic gold, Silver from the European Championships and four NCAA titles, so one can imagine that I have seen my fair share of sports doctors, chiropractic gurus and miracle supplements. It used to be a nightmare, when it came to taking supplements. My day was one gigantic "schedule", which was impossible to keep. "500mg of this a half an hour before practice, 250mg of that after practice..." and so on. Anybody, who has ever been serious about training, knows that properly supplementing yourself with conventional vitamins and minerals just won't work, because life always intervenes. Nowadays, I take my Supreme Greens with MSM three times a day and basically hydrate myself the whole day. Just like any top athlete, I was always the skeptic when supplements came up in a conversation. Not anymore. The doctors now marvel at my blood-work asking "how can this be?" when I am not taking their artificial supplements. The reason is that artificial supplements are not only useless and unrecognizable to your body but also draw power from you. More important than physical proof, I have much more energy and I don't run out of fuel before the end of my season. -Balazs Kiss, Olympic Gold Medalist I have been taking the Supreme Greens and MSM product for 5 months now and it has done wonders for my ailments. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia a few years ago. These ailments made it difficult for me to perform my high demand work schedule. As I have taken the Greens I tend to sleep much better, my digestion has improved dramatically, and I have found increased energy. Now I feel invigorated and refreshed after getting only 4-5 hours of sleep a night instead of feeling a constant lack of energy and vitality. Also the symptoms for my Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia have completely gone away while I have taken the Greens. This is an extraordinary product that I constantly tell my family and friends about and one I will continue to use throughout my life. -Tom Russell, CA |
