A Nation at Risk WHAT IS METABOLIC SYNDROME?
We face a health crisis. Increasingly sedentary lifestyles and a modern diet high in calories, refined sugars, and saturated and trans fats have left millions of people at risk for a dangerous condition that now affects nearly 1 in 4 American adults — many of them without even knowing it.
It’s called metabolic syndrome, and according to the American Heart Association, it can be defined as having at least three of a cluster of five risk factors:
1. high blood pressure
2. high blood sugar
3. high triglycerides
4. abnormal cholesterol levels and
5. excess body weight — especially abdominal fat (see sidebar).
Metabolic syndrome is not a disease in itself, but it dramatically increases the likelihood of developing diabetes, obesity, heart disease and stroke. In general, a person with metabolic syndrome is twice as likely to develop heart disease and five times more likely to develop diabetes. And it’s a problem that promises to get worse in the years ahead — the American Heart Association has estimated that metabolic syndrome soon will become the primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease, ahead of cigarette smoking.
The Nutritional Solution
But here’s the good news: Metabolic syndrome does not have to lead to bigger health problems. Healthy lifestyle choices, including proper diet and exercise, can dramatically improve all five contributing factors to this pervasive condition. You can take control of your health… and Relìv has created a revolutionary new formula to help you do just that.
GlucAffect is a groundbreaking nutritional supplement clinically shown to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and support weight loss — two key components of metabolic syndrome. No other product available today combines the cutting-edge ingredients that can be found in every can of GlucAffect. It’s a promising new approach to address one of our nation’s most urgent health care needs.
Metabolic syndrome is a serious, emerging health concern among the medical community. That’s why I’m so excited about GlucAffect. By providing a new tool to fight one of the most critical health issues facing us today, this product has the potential to be truly revolutionary.

How do you measure up?
The American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommend that metabolic syndrome be identified as the presence of three or more of these components:
• Blood pressure of 130/85 mm Hg or higher or drug treatment for hypertension.
• Fasting plasma glucose level of 100 mg/dL or higher.
• Triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or higher.
• HDL (the "good" cholesterol) level less than 40 mg/dL in men and 50 mg/dL in women.
• Waist circumference greater than 102 cm (40 inches) in men and 88 cm (35 inches) in women.

Don't Fight the Healing Process Dr Jimmy Scott PhD
Don't Fight The Healing Processby Dr. Jimmy Scott, Ph.D.
In the course of following a nutritional program for allergies or other problems, many people experience uncomfortable symptoms. This is known as a healing reaction.
The most common symptom my clients report is a temporary reduction in energy. They may find themselves sleeping longer, perhaps as much as 12 hours a night. Some people also report aches and pains in various parts of the body, digestive system disturbances such as gas, constipation, or diarrhea, or other miscellaneous complaints.
These symptoms occur because the body is ridding itself of the substances that have been making it toxic - not only the materials that have accumulated in the colon, but also the antibodies and other substances that have built up in the individual cells, interfering with their normal functioning. As these substances are ejected out of the tissues, they are dumped into the system, making the body temporarily more toxic until they can be excreted. This is partly what produces the symptoms of the healing reaction. This effect is accentuated by the body's process of tearing apart defective tissue, repairing damaged cells, destroying parasites or infective agents, and otherwise producing debris from the re-construction.
I find that the more severe the individual's condition (the more toxic his or her body is), the stronger will be the healing reaction. Because the healing reaction is caused by the flushing of toxins out of the cells, the strength of that reaction also depends on how carefully the individual is following the recommended nutritional program. The more correctly the program is followed, the stronger will be the healing reaction.
Why old symptoms come back?
Often in the course of the healing process, old symptoms temporarily reappear. Why should people have to go back through these old problems in the course of getting better? I believe that the specific symptoms that a person experiences at any given time depend on the balance among the various biochemical substances in the body. For example, when a person is perfectly healthy there is a certain ratio between Substance A and Substance B in the tissues. When this ratio gets out of balance to a certain degree, the person may feel fatigue; when the imbalance is greater, a headache may occur; when it is greater still, the person may develop insomnia, and so on.
One reason people must re-experience symptoms as they get healthier is that in order to progress from, say, a 100:1 imbalance to a 1:1 balance, they have to go back through 99:1, 98:1, and so forth, and as they go through each phase they experience the symptoms associated with that particular level of imbalance.
Biochemist John Eck has pursued a similar line of thought in his research on mineral nutrients. Using hair analysis Eck has suggested the optimal levels for some of the principal minerals in the body. On the basis of the ratios among these minerals, Eck is able to estimate how efficiently the thyroid and adrenal glands are functioning, and hence to predict an individual's metabolic energy level.
Of course in actuality a person's symptoms would not depend on the ratio between just two substances, but among hundreds of different things. If a person gets stuck at some level he will get stuck in the symptoms for that level. This helps to explain the basis of the chronic illnesses from which so many people suffer.
I like to picture the healing process as going up a flight of stairs. At the top of the stairs, the energy is balanced, all the nutrients are present in their proper ratios, and the body is functioning properly.
Then the body begins to deteriorate. He moves down the stairs, and at each step along the way he experiences a specific kind of symptom - perhaps less energy at one step, headaches a little further down, an ulcer still further, and so on. As the body begins to heal itself once again, the person begins to move back up the stairs, and re-experience the symptoms associated with these various levels of health.
Drugs that block pain may also block healing.
Experiencing such healing reactions can be very distressing for many people, because we are taught in our society that symptoms are somehow bad. Although it is tempting to take pain killers, antihistamines, or other drugs when uncomfortable symptoms occur in the course of healing, it is very important to follow the prescribed program correctly and to do nothing to interfere with the healing process. If in the past an individual went through a period of pain, taking pain killers or other drugs at this point to relieve the symptoms actually prolongs the discomfort.
You see, aspirin and antihistamines work by blocking the prostaglandins - chemical substances found throughout the body which regulate many bodily functions and metabolic process. Generally the prostaglandins work in opposing pairs. One, for example, may produce inflammation and swelling in response to a specific stimulus, while another undoes these reactions. When a person takes aspirin or an antihistamine to stop an uncomfortable reaction, he may not experience the pain or inflammation, but he also does not get the healing process that undoes the reason for the pain and inflammation. He has achieved a stalemate rather than a cure.
Some natural ways to ease healing reactions
When healing reactions are very troublesome, we can usually do something to help. Some herbal remedies relieve symptoms without interfering with the healing process. For example, white willow bark contains a different chemical form of salicylic acid than aspirin, so that it blocks only the inflammation chain of the prostaglandin and not the healing chain. This illustrates why natural substances are preferable to synthetic drugs in the long run.
The dosage of certain supplements can also be adjusted to slow down the rate at which the healing process takes place. When my clients have uncomfortable strong healing reactions, I cut down on the dosage. This slows down the healing process. The uncomfortable symptoms are less intense, but the healing process is also more prolonged. As the person's body becomes detoxified, we can once again increase the dosage until it is being taken at optimal dosage.
For those who may experience the healing process, symptoms usually happen at:
1-7 day mark
5-6 week mark
3 month mark
6 month mark
then further and further apart and the signs are milder as time goes on.
Cleansing Signs
Fatiguelasts 7-10 days at beginning, then further apart and milder
Headachereflects what is happening in the body
Rashcould be allergy or cleansing:
if rash came up right away, it's an allergy
if someone has been on the products for a while, then got a rash, it's a cleansing sign. Skin is largest eliminating organ
Mucoussigns of slight cold, clearing throat often, runny nose, runny eyes
Loose stool
loose stool is good, diarrhea is bad
loose stool is going 2-4x very loose, or watery
diarrhea is going 9-10x in last few hours
most people have highly acidic system from meat, alcohol, pop.
If loose stool, this is good. Continue at same dose
Hering's law of cure
The healing crisis has been expressed over the years by the following definition, which has gained widespread acceptance:
"All cure starts from within out, from the head down, and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared."
Putting it another way, a healing crisis will occur only when an individual is ready both physiologically and psychologically. The basic foundation for all healing is nutritional preparedness. A healing crisis will begin from within out, in reverse chronological order as to when and how the symptoms have appeared.
Frequently a person will start a new nutritional program, including the use of supplements. Within hours or days a burst of energy and well-being may be experienced. Shortly thereafter this may suddenly change, and past symptoms and pains may return. Unless one has been taught to expect such a "healing crisis," he or she might become alarmed, and resort to the use of drugs to "make me feel better." As indicated earlier, this suppresses the symptoms (which are body's efforts to return to rid itself of toxins) and halts the healing process.
If one is fully informed concerning the possibility of the healing crisis, there are a number of things that can be done to make this time pass more comfortably and safely.
Remember, your body is infinitely intelligent, and, if given the proper tools (good nutrition, sufficient fresh air and water, adequate rest and sleep and a positive mental attitude), will manage to work itself through the healing crisis and "miraculously" heal itself.
