WHAT IS PH LEVEL?

PH Level......what the heck is a PH level?

I am sure that is what most people will say when they read this blog.

Your PH level is the Acid/Alkaline level of your body and it is EXTREMELY important.

Let me ask you a question.

Have you ever seen an ad on television foran anti-acid product like Tums, Priolsec,Pepcid AC or Zantac 75?

I bet you answered YES!

Let me ask you another question.

Have you ever seen an ad on television telling you to check your PH levels?

I bet you have not!

Why?

Because, drug companies make billions selling you these products.

Did you know that almost all acid problems are caused by an acid/alkaline imbalance in your system?

Did you know that you may be able to throw away all those pills if you simply balance your PH?

Did you know that MANY diseases have their root cause in an acid imbalance?

If your body is too acidic you may well suffer from constant indigestion, heartburn, fatigue and many other symptoms.

How can you check your PH levels and correct them if your body is too acidic?

PH urine test strips are available at most health food stores and drug stores.

Make it a habit to check your PH levels at least once per month.

Your PH should be 7.3 to 7.4 which is ideal.

If your body check out to be too acidic do the following:

1. Add more fruit to your diet such as Watermelon, Mango,Papaya, Grapefruit, Limes.

2. Add more vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and garlic.

3. Squeeze lemon in your drinking water.

Stay away from:

1. White flour

2. Pork

3. Beef

4. Shell fish

5. Cheese

6. Ice cream

We have been using DXN products since 2004 to stay healthier, feel and look good.

What is PSORIASIS?

(The information shared below was a reply on psoriasis by a DXN product expert on how DXN's food supplement products may help the problem in a natural way.)

PSORIASIS is an immune-mediated disease. This means the condition is caused by faulty signals in the body’s immune system.

It is believed that psoriasis develops when the immune system tells the body to over-react and accelerate the growth of skin cells. Normally, skin cells mature and are shed from the skin’s surface every 28 to 30 days. But in the case of psoriatic cell, it takes only about 8 days. Thus causing scaly patches spread to cover larger and larger area.

As psoriasis is related to immune system, a healthy diet and a positive mental outlook is essential for a strong immune system. Stressful condition and nervous tension tend to worsen the psoriatic condition.

Please find below some of the recommendations to share with a psoriasis patient.

1. Get plenty of dietary fiber for maintaining a healthy colon. The build up of toxins in the colon may interrupt the normal immune responses.

MycoVeggie is an excellent choice of fiber. Kindly take half hour before breakfast and lunch.

One scoop of fiber powder mix well in 250 ml of luke warm water and drink immediately once prepare.



2. Include plenty of fruits, grains, vegetables and deep sea fish in daily meal.

3. Avoid fried food, processed food and saturated fats (found in red meat and dairy product).

4. Consume DXN Spirulina tablet daily as a good source of essential fatty acids, chlorophyll and beta carotene.


These nutrients are crucial for a healthy immune system. Can start with 3 tablets per day and can increase gradually up to 20 tablets.






5. Consume DXN Lion's Mane tablet daily for promoting a healthy digestive system and nervous system. Can start with 3 tablets per day and can increase gradually up to 20 tablets.





6. Consume 2 teaspoons of DXN Reishi Mushroom Powder daily as it contains a wide spectrum of nutrients which help to regulate and balance our inner body systems.





7. Consume DXN Morinzhi daily, 2 tablespoons in 250ml of water and twice per day. Morinzhi is a nutritious beverage that is rich in various types of vitamins and minerals.


The Vitamin C in DXN Morinzhi assists in skin repairing, skin healing and promotes overall skin health.Please seek medical advice from professional health care provider as the patient is experiencing diarrhea and lower blood pressure.


The above recommendations only serve as a useful supplement to the conventional medication applied in psoriasis.

Ways To Strengthen The Immune System

Inside your body there is a mechanism designed to defend you from millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins and parasites.





Strengthen the immune system which protects your body by warding off attacks from diseases and viruses.

Antioxidants found in foods make a strong contribution to this fight.

The immune system protects the body by helping it to ward-off and recover from various diseases.




While stress reduction and regular exercise are known to assist in strengthening the immune system, the types of food consumed make the largest contribution to a healthy immune system.


Eating a well-balanced diet including a variety of healthful foods will boost this system's effectiveness like nothing else.

The chief destructive force that the immune system has to contend with is free radicals. Free radicals damage healthy cells by causing cell alterations (mutations) which can lead to serious illnesses such as heart disease and cancer.


However, certain substances present in food can destroy free radicals. These substances are called antioxidants.


One of the strongest antioxidants is vitamin C, which boosts the immune system to aggressively react on cancer cells.


Diets high in this nutrient are linked to reduced risks for stomach, breast, colorectal and prostate cancers. Good sources of vitamin C are citrus fruits, green peppers, cantaloupes and broccoli



Those who use tobacco products should eat even more foods containing vitamin C or take supplements since smoking deplete vitamin C reserves quicker than others.

Another important antioxidant is vitamin E. This nutrient helps to slow down the symptoms of aging and strengthen body cells that fight infection.

People who eat foods rich in vitamin E or take supplements have an added weapon against bacteria and viruses. Vitamin E also helps in the fight against heart disease and cancer. Good food sources of are whole grain foods and vegetable oils. Supplements are recommended to reach the daily requirement of this vitamin.


Check with your doctor on the dose.

Carotenoids are antioxidants that help to strengthen the immune system by producing lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are cells important to fighting infection. The best sources for carotenoids are the red, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, cantaloupes, pumpkin, etc. and leafy green foods. The four important carotenoids are beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin. All of these provide excellent protection against disease.

The immune system gains strength from minerals to synthesize proteins which make up all the cells of the body. Important minerals include: ---zinc, which increases the number of lymphocytes to fight cancers. Dietary sources of zinc are whole grains and cooked oysters ---iron, which fights infection and strengthens overall immunity.

However, too much iron can be harmful and a physician should be consulted before starting a program of using iron supplements. Meats, dried beans and tofu are good sources of iron. ---selenium, which helps to increase the number of antibodies and encourages growth of immune cells. This mineral can cause damage if too much is ingested so supplements are not recommended. Food sources are fish, grains and nuts.

A low fat diet is very important for a strong immune system. Excess fat hampers the ability of the body to fight off bacteria and free radicals. Lowering fat in the diet can be accomplished by limiting the intake of fatty foods and making low fat and low calorie meal substitutions.

What is this so called the "King of Herbs" or "Miracle Mushroom"?

For over 4000 years Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma Lucidum) have been recognized by Chinese medical professionals as a valuable remedy.

Its Chinese name Lingzhi, means "spiritual potency". Reishi mushrooms are regarded by the Chinese as the "Medicine of Kings". Dr. Shi-Jean Lee, the most famous Chinese medical doctor of the Ming Dynasty, strongly endorsed the effectiveness of Reishi in his famous book, Ban Chao Gang Moo ("Great Pharmacopoeia"). He stated that the "long-term taking of Reishi (Lingzhi)
will build a strong, healthy body & assure a long life."



Ganoderma Lucidum contains high concentration of Organic Germanium, Polysaccharides and Triterpenes. These active components are proven to strengthen our immunity cells and improve our immune system.


As the "King of Herbs", Reishi is widely used for different purposes. It is used for symptomatic relief of arthritis and of menopausal anxiety. It is also used in treating allergic asthma, hypertension, hypothyroidism, bronchitis, insomnia, general anxiety and stress, and cardiovascular problems. Reishi also is often the main ingredient in herbal formulas for immune dysfunction syndromes, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.


Since Reishi is natural, it doesn't carry side effects, over dose and under dose. It also can be used by anyone from a small child to older persons regardless of age.

Kiwi Fruit Benefits

Kiwi fruit is the most nutrient-rich of the top 26 fruits consumed in the world today. It also has the highest density of any fruit for vitamin C and magnesiumóa limited mineral in the food supply of most affluent countries and a nutrient important for cardiovascular health. Among the top three low-sodium, high-potassium fruits, kiwifruit ranks number one, having more potassium than a banana or citrus fruits.

Based on the data published in the international scientific literature and the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationís approved legal definition of a good (>10% of the daily value (DV)) or excellent (>20% of the DV) source, kiwifruit may be classified as an excellent source of vitamin C as well as dietary fiber. By the FDA's definition, kiwifruit would also be a good source of vitamin E and potassium. Kiwifruit is low fat and contains no cholesterol.

Unlike other fruits, kiwifruit has an unusually broad complement of nutrients. Most fruits tend to be high in only one or two nutrients, but kiwifruit delivers 8% DV of folic acid, 8% DV of copper, 8% DV of pantothenic acid, 6% DV of calcium and magnesium, 4% DV of iron and vitamin B6, 2% DV of phosphorus and trace amounts of vitamin A (beta carotene) and other vitamins and minerals.

Cancer

Kiwifruit has been shown to contain an antimutagenic component, helping to prevent the mutations of genes that may initiate the cancer process. The presence of glutathione may account for the reduction.

· Carcinogenic nitrates are formed during the smoking or barbecuing of foods. When nitrates are ingested, a process called nitrosation can occur, in which free radicalsónitrosaminesóare formed that may lead to the formation of gastric or other cancers. Kiwi has been demonstrated to aid in the prevention of nitrosation.

· In another in vitro test with cultured mammalian-cell lines, kiwifruit extract was found to inhibit melanoma, or skin cancer.

· The amino acid arginine, present in kiwifruit, is being looked at by cardiologists to improve postangioplasty blood flow and actually prevent the formation (or reformation) of plaque in the arteries.

· Kiwifruit is ranked as having the fourth highest natural antioxidant potentialónext to the red fruits containing high levels of beta carotene.

· Lutein, an important phytochemical found in kiwifruit, has been linked to the prevention of prostate and lung cancer.

· In addition to kiwifruit being recognized by the FDA as an excellent source of dietary fiber, studies indicate that it contains another not-yet-isolated compound that accelerates digestive transit time even faster than dietary fiber aloneóimportant for colorectal cancer prevention. The benefit of this laxative action is to decrease the build-up of cancer-promoting metabolites.

· Kiwifruit is one of the few fruits that are green at maturity, and chlorophyll is responsible for that color. Several studies have suggested that chlorophyllin, a derivative of chlorophyll, is an inhibitor of liver carcinogenesis.

Depression

· Inositol is found in kiwifruit. Recent studies have shown that inositol, because of its function as a precursor of an intracellular second messenger system, can be beneficial in the treatment of depression.

Diabetes

· Inositol, a sugar alcohol naturally occurring in kiwifruit, may play a positive role in regulating diabetes. Inositol supplements may improve nerve conduction velocity in diabetic neuropathy.

· Inositol plays a role in intracellular responses to hormones and neurotransmitters. It acts as a second messenger in cell signaling processes.

Eye Health/Macular Degeneration

· Fourteen million American adults needlessly suffer from macular degeneration. Kiwifruit is rich in phytochemicalsóxanthophylls and especially a subcomponent, lutein. Lutein is known to accumulate in the retina of the eye. Recent USDA studies have linked these important compounds to the prevention of macular degenerationóthe leading cause of irreversible blindness in the U.S.

· Kiwi fruit contains a wealth of carotenoids (beta carotenes, luteins and xanthophylls); phenolic compounds (flavonoids and anthocyanins) and antioxidants, including vitamins C and E. The excellent complement of antioxidants in kiwifruit may help prevent the oxidation of the good cholesterol (HDLs).

· Kiwifruit is particularly high in two amino acids: arginine and glutamate. Arginine may help promote an increase in arteriolar dilation, working as a vasodilator and improving blood flowóimportant for heart health.

· The FDA considers kiwifruit a good source of vitamin E, crucial for a healthy heart.

· Kiwi fruit contains magnesium at 6% DV. Magnesium is thought to be in short supply in the diets of affluent countries. Poor magnesium status is associated with heart disease, myocardial infarction and hypertension.

· Kiwi fruit contains pectin, which has been shown to lower cholesterol.

Hypertension

Cardiologists believe the sodium-to-potassium ratio is critical for heart health. That ratio is extremely favorable in kiwifruit.

Immunity

· Kiwifruit has been shown to be an immune boosterómost likely due to its extremely high vitamin C content and its complement of antioxidant compounds.

Impotence

· Kiwi fruit contains the amino acid arginine, a well-known vasodilator that has been used to treat impotence in men.

Physical Fitness

· Kiwifruit contains a wide range of minerals (electrolytes) essential for replenishing those lost during exerciseóespecially in hot environments. It is also a naturally significant source of electrolytes for a preworkout regimen.

· In China, a kiwi-based sport drink was designed to overcome athletic training in a hot environment, where large amounts of minerals can be lost in sweat. A 5% addition of carbohydrates to the kiwifruit juice helped to maintain a normal glucose level during exhaustive training. The sports drink was tested on Chinaís elite soccer and track teams and in a more controlled experiment on amateur athletes. The results? Subjects were able to ride a Monark ergometer longer, hematocrit increased significantly after exercise, the drink maintained blood glucose at normal levels when training lasted more than 2.5 hours without affecting insulin levels and vitamin C status of the athletes improved as measured by urinary output. Best of all, athletes said it was fragrant, tasty, refreshing and thirst quenching. It appeared to have no negative side effects (Di et al, 1990).

Stress Reduction

· Kiwifruit contains a relatively high level of serotonin. Serotonin causes a calming effect in most individuals.

Weight Control

· Calorie for calorie, kiwifruit is one of the most nutrient-rich fruits. You get the best balance of nutrients per calorie (the most nutrients for the fewest calories) from kiwifruit, cantaloupe, papaya and lemons.

Michael Jackson Died of Heart Attack At Age 50

(Michael Jackson - In his early days…)

Regardless of whether you like Michael or not as a person, we cannot deny that he has touched millions of people all around the world.

If you think an actor has done a good job entertaining people, then Michael would be #1.

And whether you know or not, Michael’s movement like “Heal The World” concept has created awareness of saving our planet and humanity– because he has so many fans, they’re willing to hear Michael’s message. Lastly, I believe Michael has helped to raise fund for many non-profit and charity organizations all around the world.

Now, not everyone likes Michael Jackson and that’s understandable.

Today, when Michael left us - many of us suddenly remembered him. And I believe (I could be wrong), even those who ridicule him will stop.

His music will be ‘alive’ again.

BUT WHY WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES TO BE APPRECIATED?

If you want to treat someone well, treat him/her now.
If you want to stop ridiculing someone, stop it now.
If you want to stop being angry with someone, stop it now.
If you want to appreciate something, appreciate it now before it’s gone.
If you want to make someone happy, do it now.
Heck, if you want to make yourself happy, DO IT NOW.

Even if nobody dies, time passes so fast and within a blink of an eye, everything changes. I know, it’s scary so don’t take things for granted. I’m not just telling you, I’m telling myself because I’ve been taking things for granted too.

Michael Jackson, rest in peace. You have my respect for your talent, contributions and your heart to ‘heal the world’.

Five Keys to Healthy Eating

Since nutrition seems to create the biggest challenge for most of my clients, I developed what I call the Five Keys to Healthy Eating.

The keys are summarized here:

1. Enjoy what you eat— surprised? You shouldn’t be. You acquired a taste for coffee or beer, so why not healthy foods and beverages such as what we have in DXN products? Stop going on a diet, and change the way you eat.

2. Believe in what you are doing— you know what the weak words are, like “try” and “hope.” If you “hope this is going to work” then it won’t. Find a product, program, or method that you believe in.

We’ve all had a sense of knowing that something would come to pass. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find that balance in life that gives you the same sense of peace and knowing.

3. Practice moderation— the best advice about healthy living was penned by Hippocrates around 400 B.C. He said, “If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.” Stop going on extreme diets and being either “on” or “off.” Find that “sweet spot” in the middle.

4. Be flexible with new ideas— diets come and go. So do fitness trends. Sometimes the idea that seems strange is the one you’ve been waiting for.

Just because one style of eating helped you lose weight the first time doesn’t mean it’s what your body needs for continued health. Try out new ideas and find the ones that fit.

5. Learn to hear your body— most people are used to eating junk. Even though the body knows this food is not good, you simply tune out the “noise.” By getting back in touch with your body and instincts, you can learn how to eat because the answer is right inside you.

If you really learn how to listen, your body will share with you how much protein you need, how many vegetables and pieces of fruit to eat in a day and whether you’re getting enough fluid.

What Is Network Marketing?

If you've been looking for a home-based business, you have undoubtedly come upon business opportunities that are referred to as Network Marketing programs. Also known as Multi-Level Marketing or MLM, Network Marketing is just a way for businesses to distribute their products.
Rather than using the customary distribution process that moves from manufacturer to warehouse to wholesaler to retailer to end customer, Network Marketing companies use a network of independent marketers to move the products directly from the manufacturer to the end customer.

The independent marketers earn a percentage of the profit on all sales they make. While it's possible and highly recommended to earn an income by selling to customers directly, the real power of Network Marketing is that you are allowed to build a down line of other independent marketers below you, and earn a percentage of their combined sales.

Think about it!

You may be a great salesman and have a few dozen good customers. You make your percentage from all their purchases.

Great!

But wouldn't it be better if you had a down line of 10, 100, 1000, or even 10,000 other people also making sales and you earning a percentage of all those sales? Of course it would.

There is limited amount of time any one person can spend working.

By having a down line working with you, you can multiply that time.

Imagine having a down line of 1000 people each putting in only an hour a day five days a week. In one month 20,000 hours of work would be done.

It would take one person 10 years to produce the same amount of work.

Now you can see how it's possible that successful Network Marketers can make huge monthly incomes.

If you're ready to get started building your own Network Marketing business get back to the person who introduced you to DXN International and he will be more than happy to assist you.

So what is it? People Business?

It’s a business about helping people, making it the fairest form of business today network marketing!

Really there are two different opportunities that call themselves Network Marketing. There are the Network Marketing / Multi-Level Companies and direct sales companies.

These companies are best described as a non-traditional form of business, so what’s the difference. In a traditional business you have lots of overhead, employees, health insurance for your employees, office rent the list goes on and on. Non-traditional businesses are usually worked from home.

This eliminates the high overhead of the traditional business. You also get to set your work schedule.

Let's compare the two.

Network marketing / Multi-level marketing (MLM)

They usually offer reasonably priced products and services that people consume in a short time.

Generally the commission structure is less up-front then the direct sales companies, but it has a benefit that most direct sales companies do not have and that is residual income.

- It costs less to get involved with this form of business, a few hundred dollars.

- Allowing more people to become involved.

- Residual Income.

Network marketing is about sales and distribution, but a different kind of sales. It’s more of a soft sale or recommendation then the hard closing type that you’re accustomed to with the typical salesman or saleswoman in the direct sales.

Direct Sales Companies

These companies are known as seller-based, they market higher priced, usually one time sales items. The benefits of these programs are you make higher commissions but they have very little if any residual income. Essentially if you stop working so does your income.

You are paid directly on what you personally sell, so you have to sell lots and lots of merchandise. This also limits you to the type of people you can bring into your business as the “salesperson” type. Direct sales cost more to get involved with usually in the thousands of dollar range, again limiting you on the number of people!

How do Network Marketing Work ?

Network marketing is a business model whose time has come. It is literally the finest example of the free enterprise system. One in which common people can invest a small sum of money and through sheer tenacity in determination rise to staggering levels of financial reward and personal freedom. Just like your employer leverages your time, through network marketing you can leverage the time of others.

What does this mean?

Each of you is doing a small amount gathering customers and starting new people into your business. You are looking at a business model that will take 3 to 5 years to produce the kind of results you’re looking for.

So don’t give up your day job just yet. It will require 5 to 20 hours of work a week become successfully in Network Marketing. This is not a get rich quick overnight program, never has and never will be.

Network marketing is based on word of mouth advertising which is the best form of advertising. Think about it when you go out and watch a great movie you go out and tell people about it. When discount programme shop moved to your area, you joined their buying programme and started telling everyone how much you saved.

Major advertising agencies and companies count on this. This is one of the things that we do as network marketers. The major difference is that we get paid for our word of mouth advertising.

One of the most often asked questions is will I have to sell products and services?

The answer is of course yes. Think about it no one likes to have a salesman or woman come to the door and sell them products right. We all hate to go to the car dealers, where you are swarmed with 5 different sales people all trying to get you to buy from them right!

So how are we different?

We just recommend products and services that we like and personally use. If we know it’s good and personally use it, recommending it to our friends and family is very easy.

Products and Services

The most successful people in network marketing love their products. It is much easier to soft sell a product when you really do use and enjoy the product. So you have to have well to great things to say about your products and services.

You must be a product of your product. Think about this if you own X brand of gas station would you drive across the street to by at Y brand? Of course not!

Does it have a Duplicative Business System?

This is vitally important but is missing in a lot of network marketing companies. Do they leave it up to you? Look for a company and a team that has a system in place that you can use day one in your network marketing business.

Management

Good management is a must in this business, what is their experience. They train and train the people, think about this for a minute how many times in the past year have you heard of a new start up opportunity?

We get them every other day it seems like! Most if not all of these companies are started with management that has little to no experience in network marketing.

These companies contribute to the high failure rate in this business.

"If I had to do it all over again, rather than build an old style type of business, I would have started building a network marketing business."

Quote by Robert T. Kiyosaki “ Rich Dad Poor Dad”

Robert Kiyosaki explains that building a network marketing business....... is a revolutionary way to achieve wealth.

... makes it possible for anyone to acquire great wealth.
... is open to anyone who has the drive, determination and perseverance.
