IRRITABLE BOWEL DISEASE

I discovered I had Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) many years ago. My stomach would feel very uncomfortable after taking hot or spicy foods. I did not go all out to look for a cure but instead just bore with the inconveniences and the irritable discomfort.
But one meeting with Dr. Lynn, I understood my digestive system better and stopped feeling helpless in restoring my health. Her advice to me on what I should take for my meals and what I must forgo has given me a real boost, so I decided to change my diet. I was also advised to take the G.I. Health Plus Pack, which consists of Pure Raw Honey, Apple Cider Vinegar, Herbal Klenz Powder, C Complex and Immuflora to take care of my guts. These products have liberated me from my condition as my stomach is able to cope with hot or spicy stuff. I do not feel uncomfortable anymore.
I strongly believe that this is the first step towards prevention from getting other degenerative illness as I grow older. There is so much we can do in achieving optimal health through diet, exercise, and rest, despite this very toxic lifestyle and environment we live in. we just need some right advice snd encouragement to do the right thing before it it too late.
Cheers to good health and long life!

A victim of Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) resumed a normal life once again... Ms Linda Robinson, a retired British financial administrator, now lives each day with a grateful heart, shared with you her journey.

NL:	What is the specific name of your condition?
Linda:	Hiatus Hernia, inflamed bowel and no stomach lining.
NL:	When did you discover you had IBD?
Linda:	Around February or March 2005.
NL:	How was your condition before you came to know NewLife™?
Linda:	I started to be ill with intermittent diarrhea that gradually increased and at the same time I was starting to get a lot of pain in my stomach, middle and ribs. Soon the intermitted diarrhea developed into constant diarrhea. I underwent an Endoscopy and a Colonscopy and the results showed that I had a Hiatus Hernia, an inflamed bowel and no stomach lining. The food that I ate was not digesting, my body was not taking in the required nutrients and I was becoming bloated, exceedingly tired and weak.
NL:	How did you go about remedying the condition?
Linda:	Each time the diarrhea occurred I consulted a GP, who diagnosed gastro-enteritis and prescribed medication. I progressively became worse and eventually consulted a specialist in gastric problems. An Endoscopy, and Colonscopy were carried out which confirmed the above mentioned conditions and more medication was prescribed. However, after undergoing all of the above I was not improving. But thank God a friend introduced me to Dr. Lynn and NewLife™.
NL:	What are the NewLife™ products that you used?
Linda:	Dr. Lynn advised me to modify my diet and take the following supplements: Spirulina Powder, Immuflora, B Complex, C Complex, K-salt, and N.Zimes PA Plus daily. For the first few months my meals consisted of baked potatoes, raw vegetables, carrot and apple juice, salad – with salad dressing of Pure Raw Honey and Flaxseed Oil. Of course, this also included Dr. Lynn’s famous potato soup (Hippocrates' Soup)! I took a lot of homemade yoghurt with Flaxseed Oil and Bee Pollen, and drank Zinger and Morlife teas. I also ate a lot of fresh fruit, in particular, Papaya. Excluded from my diet were items such as citrus fruits and anything acidic, as my digestive system could not cope with these.
NL:	How did these products change your life?
Linda:	When I first walked in to NewLife™ I was bigger in size, and needed someone to support me as I walked. My complexion was pale and grey. I was physically, mentally and emotionally tired. But that visit to NewLife™ was the turning point to a healthier life. Now I'm not only slimmer, I feel rejuvenated, revived and definitely more confident, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I could resume a normal life once again and commence travelling, one of my passions in life, which had come to a halt.
NL:	Was the effect immediate or progressive?
Linda:	It was progressive, over a period of a few months. My diarrhea was getting less but hadn't stopped at 3 months, but a noticeable improvement was observed. I therefore commenced a Detoxification Programme, which included Herbal Klenz, but without the coffee enemas*, which I continued for 21 days. Since then, which was 11 months ago, I have had diarrhea only once till this very day. * Editor's note: Coffee enema was omitted because Linda requested to do so. Dr. Lynn allowed it because Linda has been on special diet (as described earlier) for 3 months prior to the DRP and her conditions were not extremely degenerated.
NL:	What would you recommend to others who have the same condition as you previously?
Linda:	Come to NewLife™ and follow Dr. Lynn's nutritional programme for IBD. Always observe healthy eating. The key is to stay focused, when I came to NewLife™, this was only hope and I never deviated from the programme. The results I achieved with NewLife™ are something I’m grateful for. Additionally, through all of the above my Christian faith and that of my friends and family and their prayers and encouragement helped me through.

IRRITABLE BOWEL DISEASE

For many years, each day at about 2pm, Mrs. Chin's stomach would start to hurt and get bloated. When she is surrounded by people, she would often hold her gas in, ashamed of the indigestion and having more gas then she sould, this adds to the pain and more bloated feeling.

The number of people who have symptoms of irritable bowel disease, i.e., excessive intestinal gas formation, constipation, frequent bouts of diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, rectal itching, pencil shaped stools, blood or mucus in the stool; or the feeling that you have not finished a bowel movement, are legion. Mrs. Chin is only one of the hundreds of thousands. Of those who seek medical help, most are given drugs which do not treat the root cause but are, like Panadol, given for symptomatic relief only. For those treated in this manner, their problems go on interminably.

What is Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD)?
Irritable bowel disease (IBD) refers to the condition where cells involved in inflammation and immune response are called into the lining of the Gastro Intestinal (GI) tract. This infiltration thickens the bowel lining and interferes with absorption and motility (the ability of the bowel to contract and move food). With abnormal ability to contract and abnormal ability to absorb, the bowel's function is disrupted. Chronic vomiting results if the infiltration is in the stomach or higher areas of the small intestine. A watery diarrhoea with weight loss results if the infiltration is in the lower small intestine. A mucous diarrhoea with fresh blood results if the infiltration occurs in the large intestine. Of course, the entire tract from top to bottom may be involved.

There are many names associated with IBD, such as Colitis, Coeliac Disease, Crohn's Disease, Hiatus Hernia, etc.

What causes IBD?
Doctors are not sure what causes IBD. Good news is that, with the numerous experiences NewLife™ had with IBD patients, they have strongly proven that most IBD can be controlled by diet and enhanced with supplements.

Common culprits
Irritable bowel does not absorb nutrients well and no matter how nutritious the food might be, unabsorbed nutrients are useless. IBD is commonly due to fructose intolerance, lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, or combinations of these. Foods and drinks that may cause or exacerbate IBD include:

•	Fructose-containing foods: orange juice and sweet fruits, candy, pastry, etc.
•	Lactose-containing foods: dairy products like milk, ice cream, etc. However, cottage cheese and yoghurt are permitted, as most of the lactose has been removed from them by fermentation involved in their production.
•	Gluten: the chief of the culprits is wheat gluten.
•	Carbonated/caffeinated drinks and alcohol.
•	Sorbitol & mannitol containing foods: sugarless chewing gum, sugarless candy, processed meats, etc.
•	Other foods to be avoided: beans, sweet corns, chocolate, hot spices, canned meat and processed food. The avoidance of the above sharply limits the amount of the poorly assimilated food that may ferment in the bowel and cause gas, diarrhoea and irritation. To find out which foods is a problem, keep a journal that tracks: 1. What you eat during the day 2. What symptoms you have 3. When symptoms occur If certain foods trigger your symptoms or make them worse, then you should avoid eating these foods or eat less of them. However, as a rule, those with active IBD should avoid eating any of these foods. As the bowel lining heals, most can again tolerate small amount of them. They may be able to handle an orange or some spicy food with no symptoms. However, regular consumption of these foods, such as cakes or ice cream, can trigger the inflammation of the bowel all over again. Some foods make IBD better. Fibre Fibre may reduce the constipation associated with IBD because it makes stool soft and easier to pass out. However, some people with IBD who have more sensitive nerves may feel a bit more abdominal discomfort after adding more fibre to their diet. Therefore, add fibre to your diet a little at a time to allow your body get used to them. Too much fibre at once when your body is still not used to it can cause gas, which can trigger symptoms in a person with IBD. Further, not all fibres are suitable for people with IBD. For example, wheat fibre most often will aggravate the symptoms of IBD in a person. Suitable fibre may be found in food such as fruits and vegetables. Examples are avocado, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, brown rice etc. NewLife™ Herbal Klenz Powder also provides suitable fibre. It contains psyllium husks, apple pectin, bentonite, butcher's bloom and cellulose, which effectively guards your GI from toxicity by easing bowel movement, eliminating encrustation and removing heavy-metal toxins. Fibre consumption requires an increase in fluid intake too. but avoid caffeinated carbonated drinks. Instead, take distilled eater and herbal drinks such as Zinger or Peppermint. Enzyme The lack of digestive enzymes for specific food element is the basis for most IBDs. Insufficiency of enzymes allows undigested food to ferment in the intestine. The end results are irritable intestinal lining, mal-absorption, and malnutrition. It is highly recommended that one to two teaspoon of NewLife™ N.Zimes PA Plus be taken with every meal. It helps reduce the bloated feeling, gas, and improve digestion. Friendly Bacteria Every human is endowed with a colony of 'friendly bacteria' at birth. However, poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress, disease and the consumption of antibiotics can destroy good bacteria and allow undesirable bacteria to multiply. Regular supplementation of friendly bacteria, Immuflora, in particularly can prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria and the diseases caused by a toxic colon, much like having your garden filled with good plants rather than weeds! Immuflora provides intestinal flora essential for intestinal health. It also helps provide bacterial enzymes that help digest the offending food listed above. Vitamin C & Spirulina Bowel lining injury by antibiotics (or other drugs including diuretics, those for high blood pressure and anti-diabetes pills) is one of the most common ways IBD begins. By avoiding the irritating sugars, the bowel lining is allowed to heal. Vitamin C and Spirulina help speed up the healing process and strengthen the intestinal lining. Our body does not manufacture vitamin C and we need to daily supplement it. Studies showed that intake from individual vitamin C supplements contain doses many times greater than those typically obtained from a diet and/or multivitamins.* * Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Altanta, Georgia. Scientific reseach has also found that vitamin C works best when supplemented together with bioflavonoids such as NewLife™ C Complex. It is apparent that the function of bioflavonoids is to protect vitamin C against cellular destruction. On the other hand, Spirulina is the most extensively researched food microalgae, well documented in numerous books, journal articles, and periodicals. Many people use Spirulina in their own self-care strategy for more energy, nutritional insurance, weight control and cleansing. Calcium Supplements The main reasons for IBD victims to take calcium supplements are: 1. Calcium reduces the acidity of the food stream in the intestines. Excess acid in the intestines severely irritates the bowel lining. 2. It helps reduce one's chances for bowel cancer by reducing cellular proliferation caused by irritation of the lining membranes. However, not all calcium supplements are equal. They differ in the absorption and utilization of calcium in the body. Some absorption rate can be as low as 5%. Calcium Complex with Boron from NewLife™ contains chelated forms of calcium which not only enhance the absorption, but also act as chelating agents to remove unwanted toxic metals from the body. The Manifestations of IBD. IBD should be taken seriously even though the symptoms may be mild, because continued irritation will lead to: • more serious ulceration of the bowel • malnutrition • weakness • Diverticulosis • kidney stones • gallstones • arthritis • pruritus ani (rectal itching) • haemorrhoids • eczema • psoriasis • cancers (especially colon cancer) Many research shows that diet plays a key role in the cause and treatment of a wide variety of intestinal disorders. Before surgery or long term medication (that do not treat the source of the problem, but given for symptomatic relief only) is contemplated, take charge of your own health through diet now. There is a hope for you, it is not too late!

NEWLIFE NATURE GIFT'S VITAMIN C COMPLEX SUSTAINED RELEASED

NEWLIFE NATURE’S GIFT VITAMIN C COMPLEX

Do you know that one orange first plucked from a tree provides you only 60 mg of Vitamin C.  In order to achieve the adult minimum requirement of one gram (1000mg) of Vitamin C, you will have to eat approximately 18 oranges, plucked fresh from the tree, thus the imminent need for Vitamin C supplements.

Why Newlife Vitamin C Complex is so unique?

Pure, quality and manufacturing techniques vary considerably from one company to another.  Newlife Nature’s Gift products are derived from the finest natural ingredients available.  They are manufactured under the highest standards possible, using modern techniques of quality control.

GUARANTEE:

• ü  Guarantees all vitamin and mineral potencies meet or exceed US federal regulations.
• ü  Guarantees that its products are manufactured with more than 100% of label potency, resulting in the finest products available in the health food industry.
• ü  Products utilize the most modern techniques to seal out the damaging oxidation effects of moisture and lights – ensuring potency of the product.
• ü  Products are manufactured under special techniques to ensure high bioavailability.

Sustained Released Systems

Certain minerals and particularly water-soluble vitamins such as C vitamins pass through the body quickly.  In order to optimize utilization of up to 40% greater absorption than regular tablets, our range of NATURE’S GIFT Vitamin Cs and B Complex comes complete with a sustained released formula which provide for the slow release of ingredients over a prolonged period of time.

All Sustained Released System Are Not Equal

There are only a few ways to sustain release vitamins, most of which require the use of sugar or starches and other non-natural materials.  NATURE’S GIFT vitamins C & B are made by using a 100% natural vegetable Micro-Gel base, the key to the manufactured form of sustained released tablets.  Unlike most other time released formulas, NATURE’S GIFT Vitamins work in conjunction with the body’s digestive tract:

• ü  When the tablet is ingested, normal moisture in the digestive system quickly dissolves the microscopic protein coating.
• ü  The natural vegetable micro-gel in the tablet begins to absorb moisture, releasing the first 30% of the ingredients within the first 30-60 minutes.
• ü  As the tablet continues to absorb moisture, it slowly swells, gradually releasing the nutrients at a slow and effectively pace over the next 7-9 hours.
• ü  As the tablet move through the digestive tract, there is continual supply of the nutrients to all absorption sites, offering the highest possible sustained bioavailability.

Vitamin C

The benefits of Vitamin C are best summarized by Dr. James Balch (M.D.) and Phyllis Balch (C.N.C.) in their book “Prescription for Nutritional Healing”:

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is required for tissue growth and repair, adrenal gland function, and healthy gums.  It protects against the harmful effects of pollution, prevents cancers, protects against infection, and enhances immunity.  It also may reduce cholesterol levels and high blood pressure, and prevent atherosclerosis.  Essential in the formation of collagen, Vitamin C protects against blood clotting and bruising, and promotes the healing of wounds and the production of anti-stress hormones.  It also aids in interferon production, and is needed for the metabolism of folic acid, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.

Further, the gastric and intestinal linings are among the most dynamic of all the endothelial tissues of the body.  As such, they exhibit an enormous turnover of collagen and related structural proteins.  Since Vitamin C is essential to the growth and repair of collagen molecules, which are prevalent in all endothelial tissues, It is essential to the health of the GI tract.  Additionally, vitamin C is a strong GI antioxidant.  Studies on rodents have shown that Vitamin C has been able to inhibit colorectal cancer and decrease mutagenicity (the degree or measure of ability to cause mutation) in humans.*

*Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia.

BIOFLAVONOIDS

In the book “Bioflavonoids- The Friends and Helpers of Vitamin C in Many Hard-To-Treat Ailments” by Jeffrey Bland, Bioflavonoids are reported purportedly useful in:

Ø  Protection against radiation damage

Ø  Reduction in risk of stroke, atherosclerosis, diabetic cataracts and ulcer problems

Ø  Decrease in symptoms of menopause, allergies and asthma

Ø  Increase in protection against arthritis and oral herpes infection

Ø  Protection against destruction of vitamin C, thus guarding capillaries against damage

Vitamin E

Discovered in 1920s, Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin has been widely recognized as the closest thing to a 'magic bullet' in the prevention of a host of problems, from heart and muscle diseases, to diabetic complications, arthritic pains, certain cancers and aging.

Vitamin E is a common vitamin found in almost every one of our cells. Indeed, Vitamin E is required for forming healthy cell membrane, nucleus and internal structure of every body cell, including the RNA and DNA.

Vitamin E, the super antioxidant

Vitamin E is said to be the strongest antioxidant of all. Some other well known antioxidants are Vitamin C and Beta-carotene. Antioxidants protects cells from the attack of free radicals.

What are free radicals? What do they do to our body? Free radicals are present everywhere in modern living environments. They are generated by pollution (car exhaust fumes, industrial smoke, air pollutants, tobacco smoke), Ultra Violet sun rays, and radiation. They are also generated in the course of normal body metabolism and during the metabolism of certain therapeutic drugs.

Free radicals oxidation in the body can disrupt and destroys cells needed for immunological defenses, making us more susceptible to degenerative diseases. Also, it can trigger the formation of cataracts in diabetics and people exposed to excessive sunlight, and cause the deterioration of nerve and muscle cells. Many experts also believe free radicals are the precursor and the initiation of cancer. In addition, one theory of aging attributes the breakdown of body tissues largely to the accumulated effects of free radicals.

Vitamin E counters the destructive action of free radicals. Many scientists have considered that the d-alpha tocopherol (primary form of Vitamin E) as the policeman that goes after and neutralizes the bad guys (free radicals). Free radicals are actually unpaired electrons from atoms that are "cruising around aggressively looking for partner". The electrons steal an electron from a healthy cell and it becomes damaged. Because their electron was stolen, the cells that were once healthy with paired electrons have now been converted to dangerous free radicals in a continuous chain reaction of critical and in some cases irreversible cellular destruction. You may not physically see the damaging cellular destruction, but you probably are already experiencing some of the more common symptoms like fatigue, slower mental function, muscle or joint pain, inflammation, weight gain and other degenerative diseases.

Protect the heart
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men and women in most countries today. Heart disease is complex and develops subtly and slowly. It has many causes, but a lack of Vitamin E is one of the main reasons heart disease develops.
As many were told, the main hypothesis was that the LDL is the bad form of cholesterol circulating in the blood that leads to athero-sclerosis (the beginning stage of cardiovascular disease). However, new finding shows that LDL is not "bad" or injurious unless it becomes oxidized by a process similar to how fat turns rancid. Therefore just as an antioxidant protects fat from going rancid, Vitamin E potentially protects LDL from oxidation, and therefore, prevents atherosclerosis. During a conference sponsored by the New York Academy of Sciences, Dr. Ishwarlal Jialal of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas presented the importance of the antioxidant nutrients in preventing oxidant of low-density lipoprotein and how this lowers heart disease risk. His work with Vitamin E confirms other research that Vitamin E supplements prevent LDL oxidant.
Aging
Those looking to delay aging may want to start small. Yes very small. Cells are the smallest units of any living organism and have a slew of important functions in the body, not the least of which is the biology of aging. As we age, cells are used and overused; in turn, our organs (collections of cells) become worn-out over time by physical and environment stresses. Researchers say if cells have all the nutrients they need for proper functioning, they will make up healthy organs and body systems required for healthy aging.
The other main concern for cellular health is oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Research conducted by Richard Passwater, Ph.D., Solgar's director of research and development, indicates that by stopping free radical damage in this manner, antioxidants help slow the aging process and support overall wellness. "I was the first to show that practical dosages and combinations of antioxidant nutrients had a positive influence on increasing lifespan (Chemical & Engineering News 1970)," he says. Other research from Passwater on this topic was published in American Laboratory and International Laboratory in 1971.
Vitamin E Family
Vitamin E is a generic term for a family of at least eight structurally related molecules. In the first research conducted on Vitamin E by the Shute brothers in the early 19th century, one fraction of Vitamin E, d-alpha tocopherol, appeared more potent since it was necessary for successful pregnancy and production of offspring. For this reason, the Shutes named the vitamin "tocopherol," from the Greek word meaning "to give birth."
More recent research has revealed that, in humans, vitamin E d-alpha tocopherol has been found to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, which has lead researchers to think this fraction may be more cardioprotective. Not only is d-alpha tocopherol anti-inflammatory, but it is also highly attracted to the nucleus in cells-the site where mutations in the genetic code can promote the development of cancer.
It is necessary to take sufficient Vitamin E supplements in order to get this beneficial effects which a normal healthy diet alone cannot produce.

Benefits
VITAMIN E is said to:
	Promote good blood circulation
	Assist in reducing fatigue
	Slow down the aging process, protect against chronic degenerative diseases
	Reduce incidences of cardiovascular diseases
	Help reduce the risk of cancer
	Help in the functioning of muscle and tissue repairs
	Help improve skin condition
	Help improve the immune system
	Reduce the risk of developing cataracts (clouding of eye's lenses)
	Reduce the complication of diabetes
	Stop free radicals, thereby protecting cell membranes and DNA
	Binding to skin proteins, collagen, and elastin to protect tissue and to seal leaky capillaries

The 21st century cows' diet are rife with:

L     Pesticides

L     Fertilizers

L     Herbicides

L     Dioxins

L     Traces of Heavy Metals & Radio Active Materials

L     Synthetic Growth Hormones

L     Other Chemicals

Because of unnatural feed and unhealthy environments, most cows tend to have significant health problems. Many of them are routinely injected with antibiotics (almost every couple of weeks) which will then show up in the milk. For example, the presence of antibiotics in milk can be one of the reasons for the failure in yogurt or cheese making.

Synthetic Hormone

L     stimulates cancer cells development & growth

L     causes premature maturity in children

Fats

L     cause obesity, heart disease, and a host of other degenerative diseases.

Antibiotics

L     weaken immune system

L     wipe out intestinal flora in our intestinal tracts

L     produce mutated drug-resistant strains of bacteria

L     increase bacteria-related food borne illness

Unnatural feed, chemical pesticides & heavy metals

L     poisons remain in cow's fat tissues

L     store up in human fat cells

L     cause side effects

L     create diseases – mad cow

Before you take the next sip of milk, check the label, is it free from all the above harmful elements? If not, think again the side effects of these elements and consider a change of brand!
