6 Powerful Natural Antibiotics available without Prescription

Posted by Forever Living on January 10, 2016
Posted in: Products. Tagged: aloe vera gel, Bee Honey, bee propolis, Echinacea, Garlic and Thyme, Natural Antibiotics. Leave a comment

Hospital antibiotics have become one of the most over-prescribed “medicines” today. As a result, people have ruined their digestive systems and ironically, have lowered their natural immunity to all types of infections in the future. Get rid of infections without the digestive destruction, with these six powerful natural antibiotics.

Aloe Vera Gel

ALOE VERA GEL

OVERVIEW

  • Contains more than 200 healthy compounds
  • The first of its kind to be certified by the International Aloe Science Council
  • Beneficial for maintaining a healthy digestive system

Imagine slicing open an Aloe leaf and consuming the gel directly from the plant. Our Forever Aloe Vera Gel® is as close to the real thing as you can get.

The miraculous aloe leaf has been found to contain more than 200 compounds. A product of our patented aloe stabilization process, our gel is favored by those looking to maintain a healthy digestive system and a natural energy level.

The first to receive certification by the International Aloe Science Council, this rich cocktail of pulp and liquid is Aloe Vera, just as nature intended.

USAGE

Consume daily, either alone or mixed with water or pure fruit juice, to support digestion and natural energy levels.

Garlic and Thyme (two in one)

garlicThyme

OVERVIEW

  • Powerful antioxidant
  • Helps protect the body against free radicals
  • Helps support the conversion of fats to energy

The dietary use of garlic and thyme has been traced back thousands of years. An Egyptian papyrus dating from 1,500BC listed 22 healthy uses for garlic. Today, we are starting to understand how they work.

Garlic and thyme, the two powerful antioxidants found in Forever Garlic-Thyme®, combine to create a great tool in maintaining good health. When garlic is cut or crushed, enzymes react to produce a powerful immune-enhancing agent. Studies have shown that garlic’s other ingredients help the metabolism convert fats to energy and protect the body against free radicals.

Thyme contains saponins and other beneficial antioxidant substances.

USAGE

Suggested use: one softgel with each meal as a dietary supplement.

Echinacea

SONY DSC

OVERVIEW

  • Can help support immune function
  • Contains Goldenseal and Grape Seed Extract
  • Synergistic Combination

Echinacea has a rich tradition in the culture of the North American Plains Indians, who used it more than any other plant to help maintain their health during the winter time. They also applied root poultices, used Echinacea mouthwash, and drank the tea. It was prominent in America until the 1940s. The Europeans, who discovered it in the 1930s, still use it extensively.

Botanists named the plant after the hedgehog (Echinus) to describe its prickly, cone-like center. It grows naturally in the Midwest states from western Pennsylvania to Kansas and as far south as Northern Texas. Hundreds of scientific studies have indicated that Echinacea can help support immune function.

In recent years, research has discovered a mechanism by which Echinacea may help. One of the primary defense mechanisms of the body is made of a jelly-like substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA occurs in the tissues between cells to “cement” them together. There is an enzyme, hyaluronidase, which attacks HA in a way not fully understood. When it does, the HA quickly loses its jelly-like viscosity, and this protective “cement” loses its effectiveness. If the enzyme is allowed to destroy the integrity of the HA barrier, immune function may suffer. Echinacea has been shown to prevent the enzyme from dissolving HA. Forever Echinacea Supreme® contains both of the most highly prized forms of Echinacea (Purpurea and Angustifolia), plus Goldenseal and Grape Seed Extract, for maximum benefits.

USAGE

Suggested Use: Take 1 tablet two times daily. For best results, after taking Forever Echinacea Superme® for 4 to 8 weeks, a 2 week break is recommended before resuming use of this product.

Bee Honey

HONEY

OVERVIEW

  • 100% Natural
  • Provides quick energy
  • Natural sweetener, easily digested.

Bees make honey by traveling from flower to flower, removing the rich nectar. The nectar is temporarily stored in their bodies, where it mixes with their enzymes before being deposited into beehives. Throughout the ages, honey has been recognized as a premium natural food – a storehouse of energy that is easily digestible. This great-tasting, all natural sweetener is loaded with nature’s goodness. Easy to digest, Forever Bee Honey® is a quick and natural energy source for any occasion!

USAGE

Add to your favorite tea or other beverage or use with your favorite recipe for a burst of natural sweetness!

Bee Propolis

PROPOLIS

OVERVIEW

  • 100% Natural
  • Supports the body’s natural defenses
  • Fortified with Royal Jelly

When we think of bees, honey and pollen are usually the first things that come to mind. However, there’s another powerful substance that bees play an integral role in, propolis. Derived from the Greek meaning “before the city,” signifying defense from external threat, propolis is a sticky resin collected by bees. Honeybees collect and metabolize the propolis, then line their hives with it for protection. It’s so effective, the interior of the bee hive has been found to be safer than most operating rooms!

The use of propolis has a 5000-year history. The Assyrians and the Greeks used propolis to help maintain good health. Forever Bee Propolis® supports the body’s natural defenses. To assure purity, Forever Bee Propolis® is gathered from pollution-free regions using specially designed bee propolis collectors. Forever Bee Propolis® is 100% natural with no added preservatives or artificial colors.

USAGE

Chew one tablet, twice a day. Must be chewed before swallowing. Consult your physician before taking this or any other dietary supplement.

Contains Soy, Tree Nuts (Almond)

Bring on the Winter Chill with Forever Living’s Winter Busters

Posted by Forever Living on January 11, 2015
Posted in: Healthy Lifestyle, Products. 2 Comments

Cooler temperatures come with their own set of challenges.  Unlike summer where we are engaged in many outdoor activities, in the winter we are more likely to find ourselves gathered with family and friends in warm and cozy indoor environments.  And with all that coziness, stale air and germs can thrive.  Not to worry, because Forever Living has the perfect combination to help prevent you from singing the winter blues.

FOREVER HAND SANITIZER WITH ALOE & HONEY:

Hand washing is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as one of the most important ways of preventing from spreading.  Now you don’t have to get caught with ‘germy’ hands at work, the gym, school activities, grocery stores, shopping malls and family outings.  Instead take our new convenient 2-oz bottle of Forever Hand Sanitizer (Item #318) with you wherever you go.

And we mean wherever because that is the only way to ensure that you and your family are protected, especially when soap and water are not readily available.  The skin-soothing, stabilized aloe and hydrating honey really soften and moisturize as it cleans – not to mention its beneficial scent of lemon grass and lavender.  Breathe in these invigorating aromas and rub into hands together generously wherever and whenever possible!

FOREVER ABSORBENT-C:

A study by the National Institute of Health recommends 200 milligrams of Vitamin C daily.  Foods high in Vitamin C are also recommended for a healthy diet.  However, since Vitamin C is water-soluble humans are unable to make their own, so we must continue to replenish our bodies with this powerful antioxidant.  Science has shown that Vitamin C is used up more rapidly during stressful situations.  Don’t let your immune system be anything but robust and powered by Forever Absorbent-C (Item #048).

FOREVER BEE PROPOLIS:

Allow Forever Bee Propolis (Item #027) to give you added support for your body’s natural defense.  Propolis has natural substances that help reduce the load on your body’s immune system.  And Forever Living’s Forever Bee Propolis is gathered from pollution-free regions to further assure purity.  Keep this cool weather warrior on hand ALL winter long to help support your precious immune system!

FOREVER ECHINACEA SUPREME:

Forever Echinacea Supreme (Item #214) can also boost your immune system to help you stay healthy in winter and all year.  Its synergistic combination of Echinacea, Goldenseal, and Grape Seed Extract make Forever Echinacea Supreme superior in its ability to support your body’s defenses.  Echinacea has a long tradition of supporting the body’s defenses.  Be sure to have this around your house to support the entire family’s health and wellness this winter!

Along with a healthy diet and some moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, these Forever Living Products will help provide the boost you and your family need to support your health this winter!

Interview with a Nobel Prize-winning doctor Ferid Murad

Posted by Forever Living on February 15, 2014
Posted in: Events. Tagged: ARGI+, Arginine, cardiovascular system, Ferid Murad, l arginine, Nitric Oxide, Nobel Prize-winning doctor. 4 Comments

Q: Why is cardiovascular health such a concern in today’s society?

FM: In today’s society, many of us have a compromised circulatory system.  This is caused by many factors, including aging, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, processed and fast foods, not eating the right amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables, and not drinking enough clean water.  In addition, factors such as being overweight can play a role in compromising our circulatory function.

Q: A lot of people are talking about L-Arginine – why is it important?

FM: L-Arginine is vitally important amino acid that has many research articles published on it.  The body actually produces L-Arginine from certain foods.  Due to the aging process, unhealthy lifestyle, diet, etc., the synthesis of L-Arginine can be restricted.

L-Arginine with synthetic nutrients and vitamins increases Nitric Oxide (NO) production.  We know that Nitric Oxide helps keep arteries flexible, which leads to maintaining and supporting blood flow and cardiovascular health.

Q: Can you explain why the link between L-Arginine and Nitric Oxide (NO) is so important?

FM: NO is a molecule that is naturally produced by the body.  It is produced in the inner layer of the body vessel or arterial wall, called the endothelium.  The endothelium plays a crucial role in the maintenance of vascular tone and structure.  One of the major endothelium-derived “mediators” in Nitric Oxide (NO), which is an endogenous (produced inside the body) messenger or signaling molecule.  It is formed in the healthy vascular endothelium from its precursor molecule, which is the amino acid L-Arginine.

Q: Your research on Nitric Oxide (NO) won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine – can you tell us about that?

FM: My key research demonstrated that Nitric Oxide acts as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system to make blood vessels dilate.  Thus, I won the Nobel Prize on the discovery of some of the biological effects of NO and its role in cell signaling.  This topic has now become one of the most rapidly growing areas in biology.  In technical or biochemical terms, in many instances, NO mediates its biological effects by activating guanyl cylase and increasing cyclic GMP synthesis from GTP.

Q: Can you tell us what else the science is saying about L-Arginine, NO and increasing L-Arginine in the body?

FM: When the endothelium is deprived of Nitric Oxide, restriction of blood flow may occur.  When blood does not flow freely through the arteries, poor cardiovascular function may result.  Thus, Nitric Oxide is necessary yo support and maintain a healthy cardio system.  One way to increase NO is via exogenous oral supplementation with L-Arginine, provided that the dose of L-Arginine is controlled and that concomitant nutrition is provided.

Q: Why does L-Arginine represent a powerful tool for cardio support?

FM: Unlike some conventional approaches to cardiovascular health, L-Arginine provides a safe and effective support of one’s supplementation armamentarium, without adverse effects.  Millions of servings that include 5g per serving of L-Arginine, together with other nutritional ingredients, have now been consumed without many of the side effects associated with other approaches.  Thus , there is now a natural method of creating nitric oxide in the human body.

Q: What characteristics/benefits of Argi+ do you find most compelling?

FM: I think the addition of certain fruit extracts is a very interesting approach – a cocktail of antioxidants and/or phytonutrients that may help trigger the pathway from L-Arginine to NO production.  There are some fruit extracts that are now becoming very popular for maintaining one’s cardio health – such as pomegranate extract, grape extract, and so forth.

Top 10 Reasons to Drink ARGI+ by Dr. Peter Atherton
M.B.Ch.B., D.Obst. R.C.O.G., F.R.C.G.P & Advisory Board Member

  1. Acts to release anti-ageing hormones. Who wants to look older than their years?
  2. Affects insulin sensitivity so is particularly useful in maintaining blood glucose control.
  3. An extract of red wine which is included in the product helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels.
  4. The pomegranate and fruit components are a rich source of antioxidants; needed to fight the damaging effects of free radicals.
  5. Increases muscle mass and strength, whilst reducing the amount of fatty tissue. A welcome benefit for sportsmen and women.
  6. The nitric oxide formed permits greater blood flow and may improve sexual function.
  7. Aids bone and tissue growth and repair so is particularly appropriate after fractures and soft tissue injury.
  8. Helps maintain a healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular system.
  9. Supports the immune system. Nitric oxide, derived from L-Arginine, is utilised by white blood cells and other scavenging cells to attack bacteria as it is toxic to them and makes these immune cells more lethal.
  10. ARGI+ is a marvelous daily supplement that supports better health throughout many systems of the body, so allowing the body to deliver optimal performance.

Magnesium releases fat and stress

Posted by Forever Living on October 10, 2013
Posted in: Products. Tagged: calcium, fatigue, Forever Living Products, magnesium, magnesium deficiency, stress, Vitamin D, VITAMINS AND MINERALS, weight gain. Leave a comment

80% of women aren’t getting enough of magnesium and calcium.Women who increase their magnesium levels in the right ways are dropping 10 pounds in 7 days … and feeling dramatically less stressed.

magnesium“Magnesium plays a key role in more than 300 of the body’s biochemical reactions,” says Carolyn Dean, M.D.,N.D., medical director of the Nutritional Magnesium Association and author of The Magnesium Miracle.  “Because the mineral can effect so many things that women associate with day-to-day drains, they get used to living with the symptoms”.

Indeed, experts estimate that 70-80% of us aren’t getting enough of this crucial mineral in our diets.  We have a magnesium deficiency.  Without enough magnesium, we start getting fearful and twitchy, we’re not sleeping, we feel on edge.  Doctors often cannot imagine that all this could be caused by deficiency in a single mineral, so they will treat women’s individual symptoms with drugs instead.

magnesium and fatigue

The link between magnesium and fatigue

Deficit of magnesium takes a serious toll on the adrenal glands, which regulate the body stress responses.  Magnesium is needed for the adrenals to make stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, and for the glands to process those hormones properly.  If the person is lacking magnesium, she or he tends to experience ragged ‘adrenal bursts.’  We get surges of adrenaline – and increased nervousness and anxiety – when we are tired and stressed.  And that can be very draining.

Fortunately, women who restore their magnesium levels start to feel great improvement in a matter of weeks.  They feel calmer, which allows them to sleep better, so they are better rested.

magnesium and stress

How magnesium breaks the stress and weight-gain cycle

Magnesium also plays metabolic roles that facilitate weight loss because it helps regulate the stress hormone, cortisol.  “When the adrenal glands are fatigued, cortisol levels are low during most of the day, but there are periods when cortisol may be elevated for an hour or two, especially after eating.  Even though cortisol may be high only during these few hours of the day, it’s enough to cause weight gain – particularly around the middle,” says James Wilson,N.D.’Ph.D., author of Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome.

Another weight loss worry: deficits in magnesium have been linked to insulin resistance, a condition in which cells don’t respond to the blood sugar – balancing hormone, so the body has to pump out more in response.  “Insulin is a growth hormone that’s specialized for storing energy as fat” – James Dowd, M.D., coauthor of The Vitamin D Cure.

Luckily, we can replenish our magnesium.  When we optimize our magnesium levels, we will feel better all day, every day.

Why magnesium deficiency is so common, even for women who supplement

Magnesium cannot be absorbed alone.  It has to be taken with calcium.  Many of us take a daily multivitamin, but there’s often not enough to optimize internal magnesium stores.  According to Dr. Dean, calcium and magnesium have what’s known as an antagonistic relationship in the body – when there’s too much calcium available to cells, magnesium isn’t always able to enter.  “We’ve really gone overboard in the amount of calcium we’re taking in the U.S”.  We need to take just the perfect dose of both minerals so they can be absorbed and not go straight through the intestines.

Healthy Pregnancy with Forever

“I’m going to be a mom!”  Pregnancy with FLP

I often hear young couples say “we want to have children!”.  “We’re trying to get pregnant, but without any success.  Maybe we aren’t meant to be parents,” others say.  Lately, such problems are often the topic of discussions, frequently among young people.  However, does this mean that today these difficulties and/or complications are more common than before?  Indeed, statistics show that more and more young people seem to encounter various problems while trying to get pregnant.  There are numerous reasons for this, many of which lie in the people themselves.  Of course our unfavorable environment is not without fault; good diet and low stress levels are also crucial.  Furthermore, there is much talk about the prevention of various diseases.  We rarely, however, seem to think about the importance of wisely and consciously preparing the body for a pregnancy.  Allow me to briefly elaborate on this issue.

Of crucial importance in a healthy pregnancy are obviously healthy parents – both parents.  Only healthy bodies are able to produce healthy reproductive cells – in other words, the egg cell and sperm.  After this, everything depends on the health of the mother – will the fertilized egg find adequate conditions inside the uterus?  It is therefore incredibly important that we closely look at our own health, maybe do a basic analysis of blood and urine samples, which indicate sugar and iron levels, before trying to get pregnant.
 
This is an ideal opportunity to take advantage of what FLP has to offer.  Drinking Aloe Vera Gel and consuming Nature-Min daily proves to be very beneficial when dealing with nutrient deficiencies.  Fields of Greens can help supplement or increase hemoglobin levels, while also having a positive effect on digestion.  We should also focus on curing any ongoing infections – this is of fundamental importance especially during the first three months of a pregnancy, as this is the “organogenesis” period, meaning that during the first twelve weeks, all the child’s vital organs are formed.
pregnancy with flp
 
It would be best to avoid catching any colds, coughs or sore throats during this time – the baby continues to grow and develop throughout the course of the entire pregnancy, thus it is critical that it is not exposed to any pathogenic microbes in the womb.  Now, the baby needs constant and stable nutrition in order to grow and develop in harmony.
 
If you think about it, the sole “supplier” for the baby is his or her own mom.  For this reason, everything now depends on the mother’s diet, which should be normal with just a few possible modifications.  First and foremost, meals should be varied and should include something from each of the food groups in order to ensure the consumption of all essential nutrients.  Meals may also be enriched with additional portions of protein, fruits and vegetables.  During the later stages of the pregnancy, meals should be smaller and more frequent.  This can help us avoid heartburn, painful bloating and intestinal colic.
pregnancy with forever
 
Finally, a very important tip: do not forget about drinking plenty of water during the entire pregnancy.  This is important for both mother and baby.  The skin of pregnant women needs an abundance of water, as dry skin tends to lose its elasticity.  After all, the skin must tightly stretch in order to cover the growing belly.  Drinking plenty of water is the best, natural way to prevent stretch marks.  Breasts should also be treated with care, as they will enlarge as well.  Dry skin breaks very easily and is instantly covered in stretch marks.  In addition to drinking a lot of water, FLP offers some excellent products that help nourish the skin.

In 2002 The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article that supported the use of supplements on a daily basis.

JAMA

Forever Daily gives our body the nutrients nature intended in the right balance to support optimum health.  Introducing the most advanced nutrient delivery system from Forever Living Products.

Proprietary new formula contains 55 perfectly balanced aloe coated nutrients including recommended daily allowances of essential vitamins and minerals.

Forever Daily supports: daily energy needs, immune system, proper metabolism, cardiovascular health, bone health and proper mental activity.

Forever Daily

What is AOS Complex? – Aloe Olide Saccharides Complex – a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and aloe polysaccharides, specifically designed to improve the utilization of essential nutrients by the body.

It is proven that if Aloe Daily is taken with Aloe Vera Gel the absorption rate of all nutrients is increased.  Aloe Vera will increase bio-availability of certain nutrients by up to 3x.

Forever Daily also includes a proprietary blend called FVX20, that means it contains 20 specific fruits and vegetables that we may not get in our daily diet.

There are 55 nutrients in Forever Daily.  All of them are formulated and balanced synergistically with all of the others.
