Breath Easy

You Don’t See it But It’s There

Please consider these facts:

The average person breathes 3, 400 gallons of air each day. Children breathe 50% more air per pound than adults. Most of us spend 90% of our time indoors. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (ESPA) “ A growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air” What is more problematic is that three years ago, the Blacksmith Institute included key cities in the Philippines in its “Dirty Thirty”; a list of the most polluted places on earth. The good news is you can shield yourself and your loved ones from these hazards. Indoor air pollution is a health risk you can do something about.

Welcome a Breath of Fresh Air

OZEIN’’s unique four-stage air-purifying system can free your room from the worst of air pollutants. You can breath easy knowing that OZEIN is 99.99% effective in removing airborne contaminants that include dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander (sin flakes), mold, dioxin, formaldehyde and even radon decay byproducts. It is also effective in killing virus and bacteria that pass through it system.

With OZEIN you can create an atmosphere of wellness and turn your home into a clean breathing space that your family deserves.

HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR (HEPA) FILTER

During World War II, the engineers of the atomic bomb thought of a brilliant way to protect themselves from radioactive contaminants. This was how the first HEPA filter was created. A filter so fine that it can trap airborne particles as small as 0.3microns to- 300 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Today, HEPA filters are used in “high technology industries such as aerospace, pharmaceutical processing, hospitals, health care, nuclear fuels, nuclear power, and electronic microcircuitry (computer chips)”. This same technology that is used to provide high quality air in such demanding environments is now available to you in OZEIN.

ODOR CONTROL CARBON FILTER

Due to its microporosity, OZEIN’s activated carbon filter features a surface area equal to the size of 30 basketball courts. At such an abundant filtration capacity, it can effectively reduce odors such as those caused by cigarette smoke, car exhaust fumes, cooking and even chemical vapors. The huge surface area of activated carbon gives it countless bonding sites that adsorbs and traps chemicals as they pass next to these carbon surfaces.

POWERFUL UV GERMICIDAL LAMP

In 1903, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Niels Finsen for his use of UV against tuberculosis. His work opened a new avenue in medical science and is now standard in disinfection technology. Using a UV lamp in circulating air creates a deadly effect on micro-organisms such as pathogens, viruses and molds. Direct exposure to UVC radiation will inactivate the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, rendering them “sterile”, which, in biological terms, results in a “dead” microorganism. Treating air with ultraviolet light will eliminate DNA-based airborne contaminants (bacteria, viruses, mold spores, yeast, protozoa) and provide much healthier air to breathe.

OZONE IS NATURE’s MOST POWERFUL CLEANSER

Composed of three oxygen atoms (O3), its this simple but powerful molecule that is used naturally to clean the atmosphere. Ozone is chemical-free, and emits no harmful by-products. After a short period of time the ozone will break down back to oxygen. Ozone is the clean, fresh scent noticeable after rainstorms. Ozone is FDA, EPA and USDA approved and is certified organic. In air treatment, it is used to eliminate odors, sterilize the air and remove and neutralize pollutants such as cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide and noxious gases. It will also prevent cross contamination of airborne diseases such as flu, salmonella, and E. coli. Because oxygen naturally seeks its normal state, ozone is an unstable, highly reactive form of gas. As an oxidizer, it is 150 times more powerful than chlorine, and 3,500 times faster at killing bacteria and other microbes. Ozone is effective as a disinfectant and does not leave toxic by-products similar to those related to chlorination.

WHAT CAN OZONE DO?

Disinfect Air in Homes, Offices, Clinics and Hospitals

Ozone is a very strong oxidant. This means that when it comes into contact with microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, or other odor making particles, it oxidizes them, and by doing so sterilizes, disinfects and removes odor in the environment it is exposed to. This process is described as non-selective, which means that bacteria cannot develop an immunity or resistance to ozone.

Sanitize Fruits and Vegetables

“With a 99.9% kill rate, it’s far more effective than current sanitizing methods, such as commercial fruit and vegetable washes. The Food and Drug Administration recently gave the go-ahead to use it commercially in U.S. supermarkets and food-processing facilities”.
– Prof. Gary Rodrick, University of Florida

Sanitize Fresh Meat and Fish

In 1997 ozone gained the FDA approval of GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) and later in 2001 was allowed as a direct food additive in contact with food including meat and poultry. Food products can be rinsed in ozonated water at controlled levels to reduce surface bacteria and organisms. Be that on the outer skins or on the flesh itself.

Disinfect Water

Ozone is extremely powerful oxidant and disinfectant that acts quickly at low concentrations in many water purification applications. Ozone is 150 times more powerful than chlorine as a disinfectant. The only by-product of ozone is oxygen. Hence, it will not contribute to the earth’s pollution.

Uses as a Powerful Hand and Facial Rinse

Ozone is powerful eliminator of Staph and other germs common to the human skin surface. The hands or face should be washed as usual with warm water and soap, rinsed with warm water to remove the soap, then rinsed thoroughly for at least one minute with the ozonated water. The longer the ozone rinse, the greater the reduction in skin borne microorganisms.

Top 5 Reasons Why We Need to Supplement Our Diet With Fish Oil

Awareness of the health benefits of fish oil started since 1930’s but during the past few years, with the results of different clinical studies, there is a dramatic increase in the consumption of fish oil as a health supplement. Researchers studied the Greenland Eskimo population and were amazed to see decreased cases of heart attack, hypertension, dyslipedemia and atherosclerosis. Deep sea fishes contain the essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These essential fatty acids from fish are one step higher among food supplements because the FDA had given them the “qualified health claim” status compared to the usual “no approved therapeutic claim” status of other supplements.

Here now are the Top Five Reasons why we should supplement our Diet with Healthy Fish Oil.

1. For Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases based on the statistics are still the number one cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Numerous studies support that deep-sea fish oils really help manage cardiovascular diseases.

A study on the benefits of EPA was published in The Lancet in 2007. The study involved a large group of over 18,000 patients with unhealthy cholesterol levels. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either 1,800 mg a day of EPA with a statin drug or a statin drug alone. The trial went on for a total of five years. It was found at the end of the study those patients in the EPA group had superior cardiovascular function. Non-fatal coronary events were also significantly reduced in the E-EPA group. The authors concluded that EPA is a promising treatment for prevention of major coronary events, especially non-fatal coronary events.

Another study published in the American Journal of Health System Pharmacy March 2007, patients with high triglycerides and poor coronary artery health were given 4 grams a day of a combination of EPA and DHA along with some monounsaturated fatty acids. Those patients with very unhealthy triglyceride levels (above 500 mg/dl) reduced their triglycerides on average 45% and their VLDL cholesterol by more than 50%. VLDL is a bad type of cholesterol and elevated triglycerides can also be deleterious for cardiovascular health.

In 2006, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and JAMA concluded that there was a decrease in total mortality and cardiovascular incidents in patients who regularly consume fish oil supplements.

There are a lot more studies supporting the advantage of taking fish oil supplements in cardiovascular patients Anti-2. Anti-inflammatory Properties

In the early 1980’s, there was a study in Harvard that discovered the anti-inflammatory properties of the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. They discovered the potent anti-inflammatory molecules called resolvins, maresins and omega-3-oxylipins.

The research in 2005 has suggested that the in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of EPA and DHA translates into clinical benefits. Cohort studies of neck pain patients and of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers have demonstrated benefits comparable to those receiving standard pain relievers such as NSAIDs.

3. Anti-Cancer Properties

There are several studies reporting the possible anti-cancer effects of EPA and DHA particularly colon, breast prostate cancer. The essential fatty acids from fish oil slowed the progression of prostate tumors. One study reported that DHA is consistently associated with reduced risk of break cancer. In a a 2009 trial found that a supplement of EPA helped cancer patients retain muscle mass.

4. Improves the Immune System

Here’s another proof that fish oil is really one-step in advance compared to other supplements. A study regarding fish oil was published in the Journal of Nutrition in April 2007. Sixty four healthy Danish infants from nine to twelve months of age received either cow’s milk or infant formula alone or with fish oil. It was found that those infants supplemented with fish oil had improvement in immune function maturation with no apparent reduction in immune activation.

5. For Psychiatric Disorders

The essential fatty acids are thought. The explanation is that the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA play a role in the fortification of the myelin sheaths. In a six-month study involving people with schizophrenia and Huntington’s disease who were treated with.EPA or a placebo, the placebo group had clearly lost cerebral tissue, while the patients given the supplements had a significant increase of grey and white matter.

In 2006 the Omega-3 Fatty Acids Subcommittee, assembled by the Committee on Research on Psychiatric Treatments of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) stated the following: “The preponderance of epidemiologic and tissue compositional studies supports a protective effect of essential fatty acid intake, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in mood disorders.

Another meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry in 2007, based on 10 clinical trials, found that Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids significantly improved depression in patients with both unipolar and bipolar disorder. However, based upon the heterogeneity of the trials, the authors concluded that “more large-scale, well-controlled trials are needed to find out the favorable target subjects, therapeutic dose of EPA in treating depression”.

These are the Top Five reasons why we should take fish oil supplements. There are a lot more promising studies and evidences relating to the health benefits of taking fish oil supplements. We should invest on our health and taking fish oil supplements could really help

Extend Your Life – Take Quality Multivitamins!

A milestone in the medical field was when Dr. Robert Fletcher and Dr. Kathleen Fairfield convinced the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA) to rethink its policy regarding multivitamins. In their study published on JAMA last June 2002, they stated that the North American diet fall short in preventing vitamin deficiency diseases such as scurvy, osteoporosis and pellagra. The typical American diet is very inadequate in order to prevent lifestyle diseases also called Chronic Degenerative Diseases ( CDGs).

Several vitamins and minerals were specifically studied and they concluded that:

– Low levels of Vitamin B6, B12 and Folic acid are associated with increase risk in having heart disease, the number 1 worldwide cause of mortality and morbidity.
– Low levels of Vitamin C, a very special antioxidant is associated with increase risk of cancer
– Low levels of another antioxidant Vitamin A is associated with decreased immunity and poor vision
– Low levels of carotenoids is associated with an increased risk of prostate, breast and lung cancer, three of the leading cancers
– Low levels of vitamin B12 in the body is associated with anemia and neurological disorders
– Low levels of folic acid is associated with increase risk of neural tube defects

With this studies and a lot of evidences most of us are still ignorant in the fact that multivitamins can really extend our life by giving our body the complete line of nutrients for our optimal health. Most of us still believe that we eat a complete meal everyday but the reality is we fall too short in eating the right choice of foods in the right amount and in the right formula to sustain optimal health. People are fund of eating junks and this accelerates the formation of cholesterol plaques in our blood vessels. No wonder more and more people die from heart attack, stroke and hypertension.

On the brighter side, a lot of people are beginning to embrace the fact, that we do not eat the diet that would sustain our life and prevent us from catching degenerative diseases. People are starting to take multivitamins in different forms. That is why nutritional supplements and multivitamin industry is a trillion dollar industry.

I myself am taking quality multivitamins everyday. For me, it’s much better than taking over-the -counter or prescription drugs which are loaded with harmful chemicals that cause a bunch of side-effects. In our bodies we have our immune system taking care of ourselves from toxins and harmful microbes. Our duty is to nourish our body with nutritious foods and a quality multivitamin in order to have a powerful immune system that would take care of us and maintain our health. Add daily exercise and a healthy lifestyle, and surely we will have a body that will last for another years or decade. Medicines are reserved for dangerous cases when our system is really not functioning well.

Multivitamins are essential for us to have optimum health and it will prevent us from having the dreaded chronic degenerative diseases. Taking care of our body and nourishing it with quality multivitamins will extend our life and enable us to enjoy the beauty of life.

THE SNEEZE-FREE DOCTOR

I will really excite you by saying, yes; I am the Sneeze-free Doctor. I am a 30 year-old practicing physician and my story might encourage you to take a second look on your pills and medications.

My story started 24 years ago when I started going to my elementary schooling. I am quite active and like other kids, I am fund of running and playing during break times. I am also fund of joining extra curricular activities and at a young age, I consider myself busy. I consider myself an ordinary young student but what differentiates me from others is – I am the winner for the most number of sneezes per day and I consume the most number of tissue paper. It is most prolific during the summer when lots of dust is suspended in the classroom. My parents always remind me to change my shirt more often because I will increase my number of sneezes when my shirt is damp. I really wanted to have a pet dog then but I was not allowed at home because, I will sneeze all day and all night inhaling the fur of my pets.

It was a limitation for me having this symptom and even a person not in the medical field will easily diagnose my case. You are right.I am suffering from Allergic Rhinitis since my early school years. Our family doctor then guaranteed me that I will surely develop immunity when I grew up.

Our family doctor missed the prognosis of my allergic rhinitis. I finished my high school with it and finished my college with it. What is quite annoying is that after a whole day of sneezing I used to have allergic cough afterwards and I will take the same antihistamine and bronchodilator over and over again. The medications were good for the symptom but it was no cure.

After college, I decided to study medicine and with the polluted place in Manila where I was studying, I was very consistent with my sneezing. There came a time that I also acquired allergic asthma. I finished my medicine proper and I started my hospital training. At the hospital, due to the stressful duties, lack of sleep and fatigue, my immune system went down. I was a sickly student doctor that time.

I got my licensed as a full-pledged physician and started seeing patients at my clinic. My allergic rhinitis still bothered me and at that point, I am frustrated that I have no cure for it. It is quite ironic because as a physician, I can’t manage my own illness.

Out of frustration came the most important invitation in my life! I was asked to attend a seminar regarding herbal supplement by a very persistent friend. It was I remember the 5th time I was invited to attend the seminar but because of my busy schedule, I turned down the 4 previous invitations. During the 5th seminar that I attended, I was quite bored because the speaker was not that convincing. He was discussing about a herbal mushroom that can do health miracles. Of course I was skeptic about it because my medical background does not acknowledge herbal medicine that much. I was thinking that the speaker was only making hype bout the mushroom he called Lingzhi, a medicinal mushroom used by Chinese Emperors for thousands of years already. Out of courteousness, I finished the seminar and went home.

Almost 24 hours later, my very persistent friend asks me if I could try taking the Lingzhi capsules for it might help me from my allergic rhinitis. I hesitated a couple of times but because of my friend’s utmost virtue of persistence, I tried taking the herbal capsules after making sure that it was safe. I reviewed some scientific literature and I gained curiosity with the herb. There were hundreds of clinical trials from Asian doctors and scientists that Lingzhi can help in different kinds of diseases.

For the first 3 days of taking the Lingzhi capsules, I felt terrible! I sneezed more frequently and it seemed that my allergic rhinitis worsens. I called my friend and he was explaining that it is normal and Lingzhi is working on my respiratory tract. He added that it is part of the “healing crisis” or detoxification process. I was about to stop taking the capsules but my longing for a cure for my long-time allergy made me stick with the treatment. After two weeks of non-stop sneezing and increased nasal discharge, I was amazed that on the following days I never experienced neither one sneezing. I felt better and healed. I can’t believe that I found a cure for my allergic rhinitis. Come 1 month and few months I never did experienced sneezing. I’m already a sneeze-free doctor and it’s because of my very persistent friend. I now share about the power of the Lingzhi capsule. I am also prescribing it as food supplement to most of my patients. It worked for me and it may work for you too. All we need is a little open-mindedness to look at other alternative treatments that will improve our health.

Sweetly Decepted

I am a medical doctor and a very health and wellness fanatic. I exercise regularly that is 20 to 30 minutes everyday, I sleep 7 to 8 hours, I take my quality multivitamins, and above it all, I choose my diet very carefully. This attitude of taking care of my health roots to my family’s medical history. We have strong genes of Diabetes. My grandfather and grandmother died of Diabetes. My Mom and Uncle have it. And who’s next? Yeah, I’m very prone of inheriting it and to prevent it, I chose taking charge of my own health.

Part of my healthy diet is refraining from sugar sweetened cakes, pastries, and beverages, instead, I use zero-calorie and sugar-free sweeteners for my coffee and tea. My gum is sugar-free. My cola is zero-calorie and sugar-free. I always bring with me my sugar-free sweetener sachets believing that I will surely prevent myself of having diabetes.

I am including my sweeteners on my daily diet for nearly 3 years already. I’m very glad I’m not gaining wait and my blood sugar is normal until last March (1 month prior to writing this article) I experienced frequent headaches and dizziness usually during the afternoon. The symptoms continued for more than a week and it prompted me to had some medical tests. The tests including an eye and ear check-up were all normal. I am very puzzled that time to why I am experiencing that bothering headaches and dizziness.

It was by chance when while browsing my Facebook notifications, I saw a video posted by an old friend criticizing artificial sweeteners. The video tackled Aspartame and Sucralose, (the ingredients to my artificial sweeteners) as neurotoxic. Based on scientific studies, these artificial sweeteners may cause brain tumors, seizures, cancers, infertility and it includes the symptoms I am experiencing, headaches and dizziness. Urgently I look for scientific articles of the same topic and to my dismay; I found a lot saying that my sweeteners are really poison. Starting that day, I never took any of those artificial sweeteners anymore. I was sweetly deceived by those manufacturers saying that artificial sweeteners were safe. Few days after withdrawing form my artificial sweeteners; my headache and dizziness gradually disappeared.

Up to this day I’m studying alternative sweeteners that are natural, safe and with zero or few calories. Good thing I am learning about honey, xylitol and now Stevia – a natural sweetener that is zero-calorie, zero-glycemic index and is very safe for consumption. Stevia was by Guarani Indians for more than a hundred years, by Japanese by decades and has a very good track of safety. Back in 2006, the WHO cleared stevia as non-carcinogenic and therefore safe. I am now using Stevia and enjoying the sweetness of life. Never again I won’t be sweetly deceived.
