- Systemic lupus erythematosus. A general autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack a number of different tissues. The disease recurs periodically and is seen mainly in young and middle-aged women.
- Rheumatoid arthritis. Occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys the tissues that line bone joints and cartilage. The disease occurs throughout the body, although some joints may be more affected than others.
- Goodpasture's syndrome. Occurs when antibodies are deposited in the membranes of both the lung and kidneys, causing both inflammation of kidney glomerulus (glomerulonephritis) and lung bleeding. It is typically a disease of young males.
- Grave's disease. Caused by an antibody that binds to specific cells in the thyroid gland, causing them to make excessive amounts of thyroid hormone.
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Caused by an antibody that binds to cells in the thyroid gland. Unlike in Grave's disease, however, this antibody's action results in less thyroid hormone being made.
- Pemphigus vulgaris. A group of autoimmune disorders that affect the skin.
- Myasthenia gravis. A condition in which the immune system attacks a receptor on the surface of muscle cells, preventing the muscle from receiving nerve impulses and resulting in severe muscle weakness.
- Scleroderma. Also called CREST syndrome or progressive systemic sclerosis, scleroderma affects the connective tissue.
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Occurs when the body produces antibodies that coat red blood cells.
- Autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. Disorder in which the immune system targets and destroys blood platelets.
- Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis. Immune disorders that affect the neuromuscular system.
- Pernicious anemia. Disorder in which the immune system attacks the lining of the stomach in such a way that the body cannot metabolize vitamin B12.
- Sjögren's syndrome. Occurs when the exocrine glands are attacked by the immune system, resulting in excessive dryness.
- Ankylosing spondylitis. Immune system induced degeneration of the joints and soft tissue of the spine.
- Vasculitis. A group of autoimmune disorders in which the immune system attacks and destroys blood vessels.
- Type I diabetes mellitus. May be caused by an antibody that attacks and destroys the islet cells of the pancreas, which produce insulin.
- Amyotrophic lateral schlerosis. Also called Lou Gehrig's disease. An immune disorder that causes the death of neurons which leads to progressive loss of muscular control.
- Guillain-Barre syndrome. Also called infectious polyneuritis. Often occurring after an infection or an immunization (specifically Swine flu), the disease affects the myelin sheath, which coats nerve cells. It causes progressive muscle weakness and paralysis.
- Multiple sclerosis. An autoimmune disorder that may involve a virus affects the central nervous system, causing loss of coordination and muscle control.

Inflammation & Autoimmune Disease
Root Cause of Autoimmune Disease is "Cell Starvation"
Definition
Autoimmune disorders are conditions in which a person's immune system attacks the body's own cells, causing tissue destruction.
Description
Autoimmunity is accepted as the cause of a wide range of disorders, and it is suspected to be responsible for many more. Autoimmune diseases are classified as either general, in which the autoimmune reaction takes place simultaneously in a number of tissues, or organ specific, in which the autoimmune reaction targets a single organ.
Autoimmune disorders include the following:
We are a people on fire!
Less than a hundred years ago the common health challenges we faced were infections. With the discovery of pathogenic bacteria and the advent of proper hygiene, death from these problems became less common. Inflammation has become the new epicenter of disease, disability and death.
Inflammation and the immune system
Our immune system uses heat to destroy invading bacteria. A specialized cell called a macrophage douses the invader with inflammatory enzymes (like acids) and the heat generated in this battle destroys the invading bacteria.
Sometimes our own healthy cells become the focus for disease. This often happens because of toxic exposure. When we eat, drink or breathe a toxin, or if it is absorbed through our skin, our detoxification system works to remove it before the poison can compromise our health. Unfortunately, many of today's poisons are simply too strong and they overwhelm our detoxification system and enter healthy cells. These cells now become the target of disease, infection and inflammation. Our immune system must treat them as hostile and use heat to destroy them.
Autoimmune diseases arise when our immune system becomes so overworked that it can no longer tell the difference between healthy cells and sick cells. It attacks all cells of a particular type equally. This body system is never able to heal and chronic inflammation sets in.
The weakest link
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. You are only as healthy as your weakest body system. How robust you are depends mostly on lifestyle choices, somewhat on your environment and a little on your genetics.
When a toxin overwhelms your detoxification process it will likely settle in your weakest system. The immune system melts these polluted cells in an effort to save healthy cells. This is acute inflammation. With chronic toxicity comes the opportunity for chronic inflammation. In the case of chronic inflammation, the immune system attacks any sick cell as well as any healthy cell that looks like the sick one. If the immune system attacks connective tissue we say a person has lupus. If it attacks the beta cells of the pancreas we say they have type 1 diabetes. If it attacks the joints we say they have rheumatoid arthritis.
These are only a few of the more than 200 autoimmune diseases. Yet they all share one common attribute: inflammation.
Putting the fire out
Inflammation arises because of:
- Toxins
- Injuries
- Emotional distress
- Nutrient deficiency
We can help douse the fire with anti-inflammatory Betalains such as those found in TriVita's Nopalea. A Betalain is a protein-antioxidant complex found in certain plants grown in hot climates. The hotter the climate, the more Betalains the plant needs to survive and the more we can benefit.
Nutrient strategies
According to most authorities, everyone needs to be taking a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement every day. This is even more important for people trying to tame their immune system in an autoimmune flare-up. We also need to eat foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and take Omega EFA supplements. These fats not only help reduce inflammation but they also make your immune system work smarter, not harder. Antioxidants are critical to putting out the fire of inflammation. Betalain "protein-antioxidants" are extremely powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients. Finally, Vitamin B-12 and adaptogens form a bulwark against the blues and physical stress.
We are a nation on fire. This is at the heart of the near epidemic of autoimmune disorders we are facing. Strategies of nutrients and nurturing will help us fight inflammation and help us with what we do best: heal!

LEANOLOGY - Delicious GOOD NEWS For a Better Weight Loss Experience or Maintaining Weight
Leanology Shakes
Leanology nutritional shakes available in Dutch Chocolate, Creamy Vanilla and Mixed Berry. They give you the right balance of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat. The balanced nutrition in Leanology shakes helps satisfy your hunger for hours. Leanology shakes include :
- Whole Food Complex
Includes ingredients from fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds and berries which supply important phytonutrients for overall health. - Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
These "good" fats boost metabolism, helping you burn more calories and have more energy. - Fiber
Helps improve digestion and metabolism, balance blood sugar levels and minimize cravings.
Leanology works in four ways :
- Controls your appetite (you can't lose weight if you are always hungry)
- Reduces the impact of stress, which can lead to weight gain
- Balances your blood sugar, which can reduce carb cravings
- Converts fuels in your metabolism by converting stored fat into energy
I Love How Leanology Tastes
Leanology nutritional shakes are such a delicious way to start the day. If they didn't taste as good as they do, I would drink them, purely based on the ingredients alone. However, the taste is amazing. When I have a morning when I am scooting out the door to an appointment, nothing is better than a quickly prepared Leanology Shake that I can mix up in a flash in my Magic Bullet. I don't always have the time to have the breakfast that I normally have time to prepare for myself, and breakfast is the most important meal of the day. During the night, your body fasts and if you don't have a nutritious breakfast, your metabolism doesn't get the jump start it needs to give you enough energy, maintain your health, and allow you to maintain the weight that is best for you. When you skip breakfast and wait until later in the day to eat food, your metabolism is slower and that food will not be processed at the optimum level. So make sure you eat breakfast! And, if you are pushed for time, Leanology is the ideal way to start your day!
Leanology Shakes Are Packed With Nutrients From the Sonoran Desert For an Improved Weight Loss Experience
Obesity is one of the most serious health threats we face. Combating obesity is a priority for most people in North America because two-thirds of us are overweight or obese. People try diets but the typical diet does not provide the nutrients that are necessary to aid in weight loss. Fortunately for us, the peoples of the Sonoran Desert have gifts to help us meet our weight loss goals.
Natives in the Sonoran Desert are thin and energetic throughout their entire lives. They have one of the lowest rates of obesity, diabetes, and general disability of all Native peoples. And, they enjoy one of the greatest life spans and health spans of any culture. With that in mind, TriVita reformulated Leanology nutritional shakes with the gifts of the Sonoran Desert.
Leanology Is Not Just a Drink for Losing Weight
I do not have a desire to lose weight. Presently, my height and weight proportion is where I want to be. I eat healthy foods, drink lots of water, exercise, follow wellness principles, and it has paid off. However, I drink Leanology because, besides being an excellent aid for a successful weight loss experience, it is an excellent nutricious drink that I am 100% sold on. The ingredients are the best you can pack into a wellness drink and I make it an important part of my health regimen. And, did I mention that it is very DELICIOUS? It bears repeating, because I really love the taste! And, it stays with you. I can tell that it is satisfying my nutritional needs by knowing what it CONTAINS, and I can actually tell it is doing what it is supposed to do by the way I FEEL. It keeps me energized and satisfied until it is time for a nutricious lunch. I love Leanology shakes.
I personally know someone who has lost more than 160 pounds, drinking Leanology shakes, and using the other Leanology products that TriVita offers. It DOES work! Please read my friend Terry Newsome's story below.
WHAT MAKES LEANOLOGY'S FORMULA SINGULARLY SPECIAL?
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
All healthy diets include protein, fats, vegetables and fruits. The main fruit of the Sonoran people is the Nopal cactus superfruit. The most common green vegetable they eat are nopalitos, the leaf of the nopal cactus. The nopal leaf has many fascinating characteristics. According to several studies, including one from the Institute of Nuclear Medicine, University of Perugia, Italy, the Nopal leaf has been shown to help reduce "bad" cholesterol and increase "good" cholesterol. These leaves help balance your blood sugar levels and effectively assist with weight loss. They offer high density of nutrients coupled with low calories for our Leanology nutritional shakes. Nopal cactus leaves in the diet of the Sonoran Desert Natives are one important reason why these people are so remarkably healthy.
PROTEIN
Although the peoples of the Sonoran Desert eat lean, grass-fed game in season, their primary source of protein are plant-based. Key among these are the pods from the mesquite tree. The mesquite produces a seed that is so hard it is inedible. The pod that carries the seed is edible and delicious! The mesquite tree is a cousin to the carob tree. So, the pods have a naturally sweet, chocolate-like flavor. The pods are high in fiber (necessary for weight loss) and high in protein while being very low in calories. The natives pulverize the mesquite pods into a fine powder and use it in many ways, often simply blending it with water and enjoying the natural sweetness.
HEALTHY FATS
Almost every cell in the human body is surrounded by fats. Rather than being "bad", fats are necessary for life, health, and energy. Omega-3 fats are especially important for both heart and brain health, and to balance healthy hormones. Salmon and walnuts are two excellent sources of Omega-3 fats. But the undisputed champion of Omega-3 is the sage seed of the Sonoran Desert! The seed itself is one-quarter Omega-3 by weight, more than any other food. So, a little goes a long way. Sage seeds give the natives of the Sonoran the health and energy they need for vibrant, low-illness life.
MAINTAINING AND LOSING WEIGHT
You can't lose weight if you are always hungry. Three things stop hunger: high volume foods with abundant nutrients, hearty foods that satisfy our need for protein, and foods that contain the fats we need for energy. The leaves of the nopal cactus are nutrient dense and satisfy our "volume" cravings. The pods of the mesquite tree are sweet, loaded with fiber and protein rich. The seeds of the sage plant are loaded with beneficial fats - especially Omega-3 fats.
ENERGY
Sonoran Desert natives also live a very active life. They work and play within the harshest desert in the world. Most of us in North America get les than 25 minutes of activity per day while the natives average around 2 1/2 hours daily! The foods of the Sonoran are nutrient packed and they fuel enthusiasm. They make you want to get off the sofa and get active doing the things you love.
IN CONCLUSION
Enjoy the new improved Leanology shakes and accept the gifts of the Sonoran Desert: a lean body, a long life, and robust vitality!

Do You Have a Pet With Pain or Inflammation? There is Good News With Nopalea!
We are so excited about the wellness experiences people are having with Nopalea!
The experiences people are having have been nothing short of astonishing. Daily, people are telling me about their pain caused by inflammation and the wonderful results that come from their drinking Nopalea. These people are making Nopalea an important part of their daily regimen ... because it works for them. It's that simple.
Not only have we heard from people experiencing the benefits of Nopalea, but we have also heard about dogs, horses, birds, cats, and other pets benefitting from the product.
Recently, someone reported that they have a 9 year old dog that had major hip problems and could no longer jump into the back of their SUV. They had actually built a ramp for the 100 pound dog to walk up to enter the vehicle. However, after weeks of their dog drinking Nopalea daily, the dog was back to jumping into the SUV, completely on his own.
My own experience is with my cat, Bruno.
When we adopted him, he had a respiratory "rattle" that the veterinarian could not remedy. Sometimes congestion would accompany it and he seemed to struggle breathing and swallowing at times. From what we could determine, Bruno was probably born with it. We tried prescription drugs but nothing worked. When I had my own wellness experience with Nopalea, I thought why not let Bruno try it, and see what happens? A couple days after giving Bruno daily doses of Nopalea with a medicine dropper, I noticed that the rattle was disappearing and I could hear him purr for the very first time! It was wonderful. I now give it to him daily and also started giving it to our other cat, Eddie, because I notice that when he drinks it, his temperment is much calmer and seems much happier. We have become a total Nopalea family, you might say!

All pets are different.
Dogs and horses don't mind drinking Nopalea. Cats, being cats, usually need to have it administered by dropper. They are not usually fond of anything that tastes as good as Nopalea!

Pets are perfect subjects for finding results.
When Nopalea or any other product is tested with humans, there is a placebo effect that enters into the study, but obviously, there is no such effect with animals. So, the results are real. They can have improved movement, they can breathe easier, and many other effects can be evident because animals do not understand that you are giving them something that could improve the way they feel.

Seek relief for your beloved pet today.
We love our pets; they are family ... and we want them to enjoy a quality of life, just the same as we do. If you have a pet that is experiencing pain, or breathing problems, or other inflammatory issues, give Nopalea a try. Nopalea contains all natural ingredients so when they drink it, you have the assurance of knowing that you are quenching each and every cell in their body with all 24 of nature's betalains, which are super anti-oxidants. Contrary to prescription drugs, Nopalea is all natural and has nothing in it that could cause your pet harmful liver damage. Also, Nopalea has no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or colors that could have an adverse effect on your pet's health. You have nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain!

Wellavoh is designed with whole food complexes containing virtually every nutrient known to science. This exceptional formula feeds your body the nutrients it desires and lacks every day, to avoid any potential gaps in nutrition. It provides you with hard to find healthful nutrients that go far beyond an ordinary multi-vitamin. Wellavoh is a multi-nutrient complex that offers complete nutrition both day and night.

- Cardiovascular health
- Skin health
- Immune function
- Bone health
- Cognitive health
- Hormonal health
- Digestive health
- Reproductive health
Wellavoh includes six essential nutrient classes that make it a complete multi-nutrient complex:
- Vitamins for vitality and health
- Macro and trace minerals to maintain healthy bones, muscles, and heart
- Phytonutrients (whole food concentrates for better absorption)
- Enzymes to support metabolism at the cellular level
- Essential Fatty Acids for heart and brain health
Wellavoh also provides four exclusive and rare nutrient blends. It is designed with whole food complexes containing virtually every nutrient known to science. Many of these foods have known health values, such as pomegranate for the heart, cranberry for the kidneys, and bilberry for the eyes. However, all these super foods belong in a healthy diet.
The four nutrient blends are:
- Sonoran Blend - contains two healing plants from the Sonoran Desert that were used by native peoples for food: the nopal cactus, which helps the body stabilize blood sugar and support healthy cholesterol, and sage seed, which provides daily energy.

The Importance of Supplements
The word supplement means an addition to something to make up for a deficiency. All supplements are in addition to a healthy diet. They make up for deficiency we face because of poor nutrient density in our foods. They also help out when we miss the mark of diet perfection.
Supplements won't make up for bad dietary choices. We reated Wellavoh to fill in the gaps of a healthy diet. As you review your diet for the past week, ask yourself, "Did I eat the right amount of fruits and vegetables every day?" (5 for children, 7 for women, 9 for men). If you say "yes" ... congratulations! If you are like most people, you did not reach that goal. And, if you are like most of us, you did not eat all of your fruits and vegetables from organic sources, so they may have been of low nutrient value.
Staying on top of our nutrient reserve is important. Our body makes millions of new cells every day - heart cells, brain cells, bone cells, and blood cells. Every time a cell dies, it should be replaced. If you do not have the right amount of nutrients to construct a new cell, you will either make an incomplete cell or none at all. The outcome is bad in either case, so we really need to keep all nutrients on board at all times. This is why we suggest Sonoran Bloom Wellavoh, because it gives you the nutrients you need at the moment you need them.

Susan Dorety Dwyer Participates in TriVita's New Nopalea Infomercial Premiering 12/03/09
Patti, Gaye, Susan, and Tina
At filming site in Scottsdale, Arizona in June
TriVita's Nopalea newest infomercial started airing on December 3, 2009 on ABCFamily Channel. It is also being aired on various other networks, including the World Harvest Network. The new infomercial is filmed in high definition and has a very strong message about the healing properties of TriVita's innovative wellness drink, Nopalea. Soon, everyone will learn of the wonderful results many people are having to relieve pain and inflammation, and obtain overall improvements in wellness.
My team of wellness consultant were among those filmed to exemplify the amazing results that we (and others we know) have received after drinking Nopalea. I was eager to tell my story of how I had suffered a very painful injury during the time when I was an avid runner. Tendonitis was the result of my wearing running shoes that were not as supportive as they felt to me at the time. The pain was severe in my knees and ankles, and my mobility was limited greatly. For someone who had never had been injured or limited in movement in any way, it was not a pleasant experience. As a TriVita Affiliate, I was aware of their new anti-inflammatory product, Nopalea, that was being launched in Spring 2009 and I was eager to see if it would make a difference in how my knees and ankles felt. After all, nothing had worked so far. Previous to drinking Nopalea, I had the choice of cortisone shots, which are never a guarantee of success, or taking 800 milligrams of Ibuprofen daily, which would do a lot of cellular damage in the process. So, Nopalea was it ... I was going to try it! In a matter of a couple weeks, the inflammation was gone, with the pain decreasing dramatically. By the end of two months, the pain was almost gone. Now, there is no pain whatsoever and that result, coupled with the other benefits I have received from drinking Nopalea, I feel like a new person. Obviously this improvement in my quality of life prompts me to tell as many people as possible about what I am convinced Nopalea can do for them as well.
When given the opportunity of flying out to Scottsdale, Arizona to participate in the upcoming Nopalea infomercial, I didn't hesitate. I knew I had a testimonial to relay to others so they could find the same relief I had. Also, as an Affiliate with TriVita and knowing the quality of the company and the passion of Michael Ellison, I had to give my comments about the type of organization TriVita is. I cannot say enough about the integrity of the company or the desire that Michael has to deliver wellness to everyone who needs it. In my opinion, that is everyone! So this informercial was my way of giving a truthful account of Nopalea and TriVita, itself. There are several others who are a part of the infomercial who I know personally, and their stories are powerful as well. I am so glad we have a product like Nopalea that is making such a difference in the lives of so many!
Anyone who tries Nopalea will have results in some manner. I have seen great improvements in the areas of arthritis, blood pressure normalization, cholesterol improvement, diabetes, asthma, and many others. And, those who have no health issues are noticing a great improvement in energy and recovery time with their workouts. Nopalea is for everyone! I am so convinced of this that I offer it to everyone I speak to. I cannot offer anything in which I do not firmly believe. I have seen Nopalea work wonders with people I know personally and I just want the word to get out to the masses that Nopalea can change the quality of life for anyone. With this quality infomercial airing now, it is just a matter of time that Nopalea will become a household word, synonymous with optimum wellness and relief from inflammation and pain.
If you want more information about Nopalea and TriVita, please visit my website and send your information to me. I will get back to you in a timely manner and help you anyway I can. I would like for you to try Nopalea and find out how you can align yourself with TriVita as a way to help others and possibly have your own stream of income, as other Affiliates have.
Be blessed in wellness!

Inflammation - The Secret Killer
Inflammation is on the increase causing chronic pain, discomfort, and poor health that can lead to serious disease. Learn how you can reduce inflammation and can use Nopalea to fight it and achieve true wellness.
Chronic pain can be a sign of inflammation. It is also something that our body experiences on a daily basis. Toxic pollutants are present in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Chemicals are also found in the environment where we live, work, study, and play. Our bodies use inflammation as a natural defense against these types of stressors in addition to emotional, mental and physical stress. However, chronic inflammation can cause poor health that can lead to serious diseases.
Serious conditions that may begin with inflammation include:
- Fibromyalgia
- Diabetes
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Alzheimer's
- Arthritis
- Autoimmune
- Cardiovascular
- Neurological
- Respiratory
- Cancer
- Gum Disease
- All types of pain
- Conditions ending with "itis" (suffix that means inflammation)
It has been well documented that inflammation has been well documented as playing a key role, often intensifying the symptoms and effects.
First things first: What is inflammation?
Inflammation is your immune system's response to damage. This damage can arise from trauma, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection, stress, genetic abnormalities, metabolic disorders, and a host of other sources. Certain lifestyle conditions can also contribute to inflammation: poor diet, stress, being overweight, a sedentary lifestyle, and smoking. Inflammation can cause redness, swelling, heat, pain and loss of function.
When you are injured, the inflammatory response immediately moves into action. White blood cells rush to the scene of the damage and begin to destroy the damaged cells, while sending out chemical signals that call for more help. That's when unstable molecules called free radicals are released. Free radicals, now considered key players in many diseases, start to attack the damaged area, destroying some healthy cells in the process. This new damage leads to yet another round of inflammation. And so the cycle of inflammation continues: called chronic inflammation. That is where the trouble really begins.
How inflammation affects your body over time
Though you may not see or even feel inflammation, it may be silently burning within your body right now. Over time, this collective damage can spell trouble for the immediate area of inflammation as well as your overall health.
Heart
Inflammation is believed to contribute to the formation of plaque in the blood vessels, as well as the formation of blood clots. When these blood clots break free into the blood, then can block blood flow to the brain and heart, resulting in a heart attack or stroke.
Brain
Inflammation plays a role in Alzheimer's disease, yet scientists are still uncertain what that role is. However, one theory is that inflammation kicks into gear because of the plaques and tangles in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. In trying to solve the problem, inflammation just makes matters worse.
Joints
Long term inflammation of the joints can result in destroyed ligaments and tendons, damage to the joint cartilage and bone and even bone erosion. This leads to pain, deformity, and an inability to perform daily tasks, drastically affecting quality of life.
Mouth and Gums
Although dental researchers once thought bacterial infections caused gum disease, it is not thought that some of the more severe symptoms of gum disease are attributable to inflammation. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the national Institutes of Health, reports that inflammation can even break down bone and connective tissue that keep the teeth in place.
Emotional Health
Inflammation may even play a role in your emotions. Scientists at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign discovered that an enzyme secreted by the immune system caused inflammation-related, depression-like symptoms in mice. Because inflammation is linked with conditions often accompanied by depression, such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease, researchers expect that this study will provide insight into chronic inflammation's role in depression.
Cancer Cell Growth
Although researchers haven't discovered the exact mechanism of inflammation's role in cancer, they believe it encourages cancer growth. According to the American Cancer Society, inflammation creates just the right conditions for cancer cells to grow and multiply.
Reducing Inflammation
By making healthy lifestyle changes and modifications, you can help reduce inflammation in your body. And, it simultaneously improves your overall health.
- If you smoke, quit.
- Practice stress management techniques such as deep breathing to help manage your stress load
- Simply being overweight can increase inflammation. Start a sensible diet and exercise plan. It will help with inflammation and your overall sense of health and well being.
- Exercise at least 30 minutes per day, 3 to 5 days per week.
- Cut out unhealthy food choices, some of which can actually contribute to inflammation: trans fats, refined carbs, and processed foods.
- Make anti-inflammatory foods a staple in your diet.
- Practice good oral hygiene. Brush after every meal and floss daily.
- Introduce Sonoran Bloom Nopalea into your daily regimen.

Nopalea Completely Changes the Quality of Life For My Dear Friend Sandy Who Has Multiple Sclerosis
Every once in a while, something inspiring happens in my life.
Something that renews my faith in the fact that life is truly good is a wonderful thing.
I am so happy that my friend, Sandy Sheridan, decided to go out on a limb, and try Nopalea. Sandy has been experiencing the painful, frightening, and unpredictable symptoms of multiple sclerosis for about ten years. Her symptoms included numbness in her extremities and head, spasms that would twist her legs, difficulty swallowing, extreme fatigue, and many others. Since her illness is incurable, doctors would have Sandy take prescription drugs and receive shots that most of the time didn't help her at all. When Nopalea first was launched in March, I knew this was something Sandy should try but I was hesitant to say to her just how much it would help her, because I didn't want her to be disappointed if it didn't help her with all of her symptoms. But, I also knew enough about the anti-inflammatory properties of Nopalea that I knew that even if it didn't eradicate her symptoms, it would definitely help her in many other ways. I had that much faith in Nopalea.
At the time, it was not advised to start with a loading dose of 3 to 6 ounces per day with your first bottle, so Sandy drank 1 ounce per day. (We now advise the loading dose in order for everyone to experience the detoxifying experience needed to give your body a jump start on the healing properties of Nopalea.) After about one month, Sandy noticed a difference in how she felt. Her symptoms were easing and she had a lot more energy. Then, after about 3 months, all of her symptoms were gone. She now feels renewed, has energy, doesn't have the fear of the onset of unpredictable symptoms, and has a new perspective on life. Sandy is no longer taking prescription drugs or getting shots. She just drinks Nopalea every day and is now introducing other vitamins and supplements offered by TriVita. She knows that everything TriVita offers is pharmaceutical grade quality and delivered fresh to her home. Because Sandy is a very good friend of mine, you can imagine how good it feels for me to see her feel so much better.
It makes perfect sense to me that with the wonderful anti-inflammatory properties in Nopalea, it would help with a disease like multiple sclerosis. MS it a disease that involves inflammation of the nervous system. With all of nature's 24 Betalains (super anti-oxidants) in Nopalea, and the way it reduces inflammation from the healing properties of the Nopal Cactus fruit, is it really any wonder that it helped Sandy this way?
Now I want to give the world the opportunity to try Nopalea. It is something I believe in wholeheartedly. I am thinking that if everyone with pain, discomfort, illness, or disease, were to try Nopalea, just think of the results. Of course, if Nopalea does this for people with illness, just think what it is doing for the otherwise healthy person. Nopalea bathes each cell in the body for the ultimate healing and wellness experience. I can't imagine a day without Nopalea and cannot get over how wonderful my health has been since starting the product. I have never felt better in my life.
Michael Ellison, CEO of TriVita, once hearing about Sandy's Nopalea experience, published it in his blog. You can read it HERE. I had sent Michael Sandy's story, and when he was reading it on his Blackberry, he was stopped in his car at a red light. He wrote back to me later, telling me how he was so moved by her story that his eyes filled with tears, happy to witness such a transformation in someone's life, due to Nopalea. I wanted Michael to know how much his product was helping an individual who means so much to me.
Sandy's experience is one of many. I have engaged with so many people who have been helped with Nopalea. People with pain, soreness, illness, disease, low energy, arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, allergies, asthma, fibromyalgia, skin disorders ... the list continues, and seems endless. I urge everyone to try Nopalea. Drink it, and don't stop after one or two bottles, if you don't see the complete results you are hoping for. If Sandy had stopped drinking Nopalea, she would not be having the quality of life she is experiencing today. I am so grateful for Nopalea!

Inflammation and Nopal Cactus Fruit
Inflammation
Inflammation is a complex and often beneficial biological process the body uses to defend itself in response to injury and infection, and begin the natural healing process. For example, joint inflammation–of the knee, hip, wrist or ankle–is a common outcome of athletic activity and strenuous and repetitive motions.
If inflammation goes unchecked and becomes chronic, it can lead to a wide variety of disorders, from stroke to arthritis to heart disease. Inflammation was the subject of a February, 2004, Time magazine cover story, "The Secret Killer, The surprising link between inflammation and heart attacks, cancer, Alzheimer's and other diseases." Besides common trauma and illness, the body is constantly assaulted by dangerous toxins in air, water and food–pollution, cosmetics, smoke, plastics, to name a few. Toxins also arise from nutritional deficiencies, allergies, emotional distress, indigestion and hangovers. Toxins degrade and poison the vital fluid that surrounds the cells and keeps them healthy, resulting in inflammation and disease.
Inflammation can affect organs as part of an autoimmune disorder. Inflammatory disease causes a host of ailments, including shortness of breath, leg swelling, asthma attacks, high blood pressure, kidney failure, and colitis-induced diarrhea.
When a cell’s capacity to protect itself fails, oxidative stress occurs. Oxidative stress results from an oxidant/antioxidant imbalance, an excess of oxidants and/or a depletion of antioxidants. A considerable body of recent evidence suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in several aspects of acute and chronic inflammation."
According to the USDA's antioxidant "scorecard" as published in a January, 2006, online edition of Prevention magazine, many foods–notably so-called "superfruits" like blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, strawberries and apples–pack high concentrations of inflammation-fighting antioxidants.
Nopal Cactus Fruit
One superfruit of recent and intense interest is the Nopal cactus which grows in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, California and Mexico. Some scientists believe it to be one of the world’s first domesticated plants. Cactus fruit seeds dated at 12,000 years old have been found in caves in Mexico.
Researchers at the University of Palermo reported in the August, 2004, edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that consuming nopal cactus fruit had a positive and complete effect on the body’s oxidant/antioxidant balance. A meta-analysis of studies reported by the National Institutes of Health done on Prickly Pear and diabetes has strongly suggested that ingestion of the fruit has a true metabolic effect on persons with the disorder and reduces serum glucose levels.
As reported in the March, 2001, edition of Fitoterapia, a journal dedicated to medicinal and bioactive plant products, researchers at College of Pharmacy, Sookmyung Women's University, Seoul, Korea, found that extract of Nopal cactus showed potent anti-inflammatory action.
In a November 6, 2002, article published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, researchers reported that betalins contribute to the free radical-scavenging and antioxidant activities of Prickly Pear fruits. Betalains are polyphenolic pigment compounds found in beets and a few other plants. Betalains give Nopal cactus fruit their purple-red and yellow-orange colors. The Nopal cactus alone among plant species contains all 24 of the known betalains, which are also a class of rare and potent healing antioxidants.
A manufacturer of a nutriceutical made from Nopal cactus fruit reports improvements in cell function, immunity, cell detoxification and especially a reduction in inflammation. According to this company, 287 scientific papers have been published on the benefits and attributes of Nopal, and that these are found in high quality, peer-reviewed journals supported by the National Institutes of Health database to insure that the conclusions are valid.
Nopalea
Each bottle of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea brims with the health benefits of the Nopal fruit, in a proprietary blend delivering the rare potent Betalain antioxidants.
