Package 1 supplements contain all the scientifically determined nutrients that are essential for cellular and structural health. These are your insurance against illness. This is all you need to take if you are already healthy and eating nutritious food:
Basic Nutrients provide the core vitamins, co-factors and minerals needed for health in a highest quality multi-vitamin.
Bone density is useful for women and older men as it provides calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3 necessary to prevent bone loss, ie., osteoporosis.
Opti-EPA contains the essential fatty acid omega 3 that most people are deficient of in today’s manufactured food society. Opti-EPA is a high-grade fish oil.
Trace Plus minerals are an intermittent nutrient in that they don’t have to be consumed daily. One bottle of trace minerals can be taken every 6-12 months to supply essential trace minerals. You don’t need many trace minerals in your body, but if they are deficient, total cellular and structural collapse can occur.
Package 1B supplements are without the bone density ingredient and are more for younger men. Packages 1 or 1B provide the core nutrients that are the starting foundation to have optimum body health. I always start nutrient therapy with these core supplements as the first step in regaining health. All other nutrient or herbal therapy is built upon this foundation.
Package 2 supplements contain the 4 nutrients required by your cells for its most natural anti-oxidant protection. Anti-oxidants protect the cells from free radicals which are constantly being generated in the body. Some scientists believe that anti-oxidative protection is what protects people from cancer and all illness.
Natural E contains natural mixed tocopherols which are the main anti-oxidants of protection in your body. Vitamin E has been shown useful for cardiac, stroke, youthful vitality and numerous applications.
Vitamin C 1000 provides the 2nd main anti-oxidant system protection. Taking 1000mg to 3000mg per day is generally a good baseline use of vitamin C. Some people believe in taking higher doses of vitamin C daily.
Selenium 200 is the main trace mineral necessary for anti-oxidant protection. I often boost selenium levels by giving it alone with this product. Selenium has been shown to be useful for anti-cancer therapies.
Zinc picolinate is the best form of zinc to take as it is the least bothersome to the stomach and most absorbable. Zinc is one of the most deficient minerals in the body and is the fourth requirement for anti-oxidant protection. Zinc is especially important for hair, skin and immune system function. I boost zinc for any infection, travel and pre-surgical preparation to lessen the likelihood of infection. Zinc is also very useful for preventing macular problems.
I believe people should supplement these 4 nutrients once a year for preventative health. After the core package 1 has been provided, I believe this anti-oxidant package is the next most important to put into your body today.
Package 3 supplements provide the essentials for ENERGY, proper thyroid function and thus body weight health.
Vanadium 5 is a trace mineral necessary for proper glucose metabolism so it is provided in this package.
Chromium 200 is a more important trace mineral necessary for glucose metabolism. Glucose IS the big issue in today’s overweight and pre-diabetic population.
B Complete provides all the B vitamins necessary for energy and well-being. They can be used daily for 30 days at first and then twice weekly to remedy low energy.
Acetyl carnitine is necessary for energy production and is also useful for cardiac health. I give acetyl carnitine for 60 days for weight loss as it helps the mitochondria burn fat. I also give acetyl carnitine for 60 days for any heart condition and to lower blood pressure.
Iodine Max provides higher amounts of iodine necessary for one’s thyroid to work properly, which in turn is necessary for ideal body size. Iodine is also thought to be important for anti-cancer protection, so I often give it in this large dose for 6 months for conditions of cancer.
Thyroid Nutrients are given to provide the thyroid with nutrients necessary to make thyroid hormone. The making of thyroid hormone by your body requires several nutrients, if you are deficient in just one, your body will be unable to produce the thyroid hormone necessary for maintaining a healthy weight and metabolism.
Tyrosine 500 is necessary for production of the thyroid hormones.
Co Q 10 is considered by many nutritionalists to be the most important co-factor in the body. I use Co Q 10 to restore energy levels and to lower blood pressure. Anyone taking statin like drugs like Lipitor or Simvastatin MUST supplement Co Q 10 as these very commonly prescribed medications today dramatically lower levels of Co Q 10 in the body. I also give Co Q 10 for restless leg conditions.
Package 3B supplements are nutrients useful for weight and sugar control.
5-HTP is a serotonin forming amino acid (5-hydroxytryptophan) that tends to produce satiety and thus can help weight loss. Entire programs of weight loss are built around boosting your serotonin levels in the body which 5-HTP will do. 5-HTP also helps with sleep and depressive episodes.
Arginine 700 can be taken at 1400mg along with lysine to boost your natural growth hormone production. Arginine is also useful for lowering blood pressure and improves the nitric oxide in the vasculature. Arginine is also given for erectile dysfunction to improve circulation.
Lysine taken at 1500 mg at the same time as arginine will boost natural growth hormone levels. Growth hormone improves the lean muscle mass to fat ratios automatically. If there is a fountain of youth drug, it would be natural growth hormone. I do not recommend staying on this growth hormone boosting supplementation for more than 4 months, and to use it only as a temporary boost.
Glutamine can also be used to boost natural growth hormone when taken 2000mg at a time. Again, I use it as a temporary step to improve health and lose weight. Glutamine is necessary for good bowel health and I give it for 60 days to anyone re-vitalizing their bowel health.
Ayurvedic formula # 1 contains several herbs formulated for lowering excess body size. I use the formula for 3-4 months for weight loss and then come off of them for a natural break. (Ayurvedic formula # 2 is formulated for lowering excess body size and reducing sugar levels for diabetics.)
Package 4 supplements consist of amino acids the body can utilize to make the very important neurotransmitters.
GABA 500 tends to be calming and lowering of energy. GABA 500 counters anxiety and sleeplessness. GABA 500 can be taken for chronic pain conditions.
Glutamine tends to improve the gut and certain cravings. Glutamine can have a neurotransmitter like effect on the body.
5-HTP goes into the serotonin system. This is useful for having a good mood.
Tyrosine 500 is converted into the dopamine system and would tend to raise energy.
Theanine 100 becomes converted into GABA and tends to be calming, more delayed of a reaction than GABA and can also be useful for blood pressure lowering.
L-Phenyalanine is also converted into the dopamine system and should not be used with anyone with hypertension. You should monitor your blood pressure routinely while using l-phenylalanine. L-phenylalanine would tend to raise the pleasure system.
Package 5 supplements consist of blood pressure & vascular nutrients.
Magnesium 150 is the most deficient major mineral in the body, can lower blood pressure and calm restless muscles. It is also necessary for optimum cardiac function.
Arginine 700 helps to provide crucial nitric oxide in blood vessels and lowers blood pressure for some individuals.
Co Q 10 max is thought of by many people as the most important co-factor in the body and providing this can help energy and lower blood pressure. The vastly over-prescribed statin drugs dramatically lower this most important co-factor which is another reason to supplement it.
Taurine is an amino acid that can lower blood pressure. It is thought that taurine taken together with magnesium are even more effective at lowering blood pressure. Taurine is also very useful for treating or preventing macular problems.
Acetylcarnitine can lower blood pressure as well as re-build the cardiac muscle.
Hawthorne is an herbal product that can be used for 2-4 months to lower blood pressure. It helps circulation issues. Remember that for blood pressure concerns, stopping all caffeine and stimulant usage is most important to do first for lowering blood pressure.
Package 6 supplements are arthritic or immune system herbal products.
Glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate should be taken for one year to increase the amount of cartilage in all your joints. Taking this formulation actually has been shown to increase cartilage thickness for up to 1 year, as compared to NSAIDS (motrin like) which have been shown to reduce cartilage, stress the kidneys and damage the stomach. Glucosamine/chondroitin is useful for anyone revitalizing their body with renewed exercise.
MSM 750, I use like ibuprofen for flare-ups of arthritic issues or inflammatory concerns. MSM is anti-inflammatory.
Joint ease and Joint Ease 2 are both more complex herbal preparations that are anti-inflammatory. I give them after MSM and glucosamine/chondroitin are given.
Package 7 supplements are more complicated herbal formulations useful for people with diabetes.
Cinnamon DB is useful for balancing glucose and insulin metabolism.
Dia B Plus is a multi-herbal formulation for diabetes.
Resveratrol Plus is useful for weight loss and diabetics.
Ayurvedic formula # 2 is directed towards weight loss and sugar/insulin metabolism improvement.
Package 8 supplements are designed for improving neurohormonal balance at the brain level.
Remember-2 contains huperizine and vinpocetine, useful for memory and cognition.
Neurokind is nutritionally balancing and fortifying to neuro tissue.
Tranquil contains the more calming ingredients necessary for mental and emotional stability.

Valerian root max is another sleep aid that works better for some people.
Package 9 supplements are designed for lowering lipid levels such as cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL in the blood, and can be used instead of all the statin drugs. Lowering lipids is thought to be important to reduce the development of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels, which is a chronic form of aging and illness.
Policosanol is thought to lower lipid levels.
Pantothenic acid is thought to lower lipid levels
Lysine - LDL lowers the LDL of the blood. Lysine is also useful for treating and preventing cold sores on the face.
Niacinamide 500 lowers lipid levels.
Red yeast rice is another powerful herb for lowering lipid levels. Red yeast rice is very similar to the statin drugs chemically. Always check your liver function tests when taking red yeast rice as it can have the same liver affecting problem that all the statin drugs have. The way I provide safety in the use of these nutrients is to take red yeast rice and pantothenic acid together for 1 month, then stop and use lysine, policosanol and niacinamide for the next month, going back and forth. This provides a natural break from the effects of any one nutrient substance.
This is a much more natural way of lowering lipid levels in the body. Remember, taking sufficient quantities of fish oil may protect you from atherosclerosis no matter what your lipid levels are no and is a very important part of arteriosclerosis protection.

This information base is constantly being added to and modified based on scientific studies of related or associated interactions found in health and disease.
Always use high quality nutrients. Low quality supplements have foreign ingredients in the preparation and often do not have the true quantity of absorbable nutrients their label may proclaim. Cheaper nutrients use poorly absorbable forms of nutrients that may never get into your body. Always use capsules or bulk herbs as the highest grade of supplement.
Top of Pg.
Therapy for restoring health can be on several tiers, or degrees of naturalness. I use nutrients before herbal formulas. The most important tier of therapy, which also has the highest efficacy and safety relative to risks, are a patient’s thoughts and emotions as to how they originate and contribute to your health. These thoughts and emotions will always be the origin of a patient’s problem or illnesses. The next basic tier of therapeutic changes are foods - foods to avoid and foods to intentionally consume for health.
After food, are all the natural nutrients required by the body. Determined by science, natural molecules of essential cellular function are required by the body, or cellular, organ and systemic failure could result if they were missing.
Next tier are all herbs and homeopathic remedies that could be used by a patient. Herbs I use are ayurvedic, Chinese or American. Single herb therapies are used for about 3 weeks while more conventional combination herbal therapies are used for 2-3 months. In some cases of treating adrenal problems or cancer, herbal therapies can be continued longer, up to 6 months. Homeopathic medications work on an energy and frequency level by resetting the internal energy blueprint. They are also included at this tier 3 level of treatment.
The next tier up in less benefit/risk ratios are all the synthetic prescription medications of which western allopathic medicine is now predominantly based. Recent modern medicines typically have quicker effects but are worse for risks and side effects. Prescription medications are the 3rd to 6th leading cause of death in civilized countries but obviously have a usefulness also.
The final tier of potential therapy is surgery and radiation treatments. While surgery may have its use, this level of therapy is the most invasive, destructive and permanent on the physical body, but sometimes necessary.
When it comes to food, nutrients and herbs:
Always use high quality nutrients. Low quality supplements have foreign ingredients to the preparation and often do not have the true quantity of absorbable nutrients their label may proclaim.
In my “patient-based” holistic healthcare practice, which includes standard medical practices, laboratory testing, diagnostics and therapy, I use whatever is practical.
Food, over the counter nutrient products and herbs are the most empowering after dealing with your beliefs and emotions drives directly.
Emotions and belief based illness, which are nearly all illness and accidents, are nearly impossible to scientifically test using the physicality limits of science. And herbal and homeopathic medications are also nearly impossible to test using the scientifically defined gold standard of double blind, placebo control experiments where only one variable in a test is changed to see an effect. Thus, I use in addition to science evidence, history of use and risk/safety issues relative to the degree of severity and immediacy of a patient’s condition in determining the appropriate therapies.
The best aspects about western allopathic medicine lie in diagnostic technology for the physical body and capability in surgery. Western diagnostics can provide much more physical information about someone’s body than ever before. Of course, that is not the end all be all of total therapy and the societal costs of this technology need to be examined as a legitimate cultural phenomenon.
After great diagnostics from western medicine, there is also a great limitation of what modern medicine can provide for therapy, considering its higher risk and side effect ratio to benefits derived. Traditional allopathic surgery and medicine often produce quicker relief of symptoms but at a much higher side effect and complication risk. And the results are often not long lasting or permanent solutions - the opposite of an empowering solution! Having my basic original training in allopathic medicine which was later expanded upon through holistic, naturopathic and homeopathic training, has led me to where I am today for a great part. My underlying youthful experience in living in Nature, coupled with fortunate reality training, created the foundation upon which I have learned through the years.
Since my ultimate goal for people is “responsible consciousness” which implies “permanent health” I tend to favor safer and empowering therapies to improve one’s health - which also advances one’s life. These therapies tend to protect a person from the harm of more severe treatments – often supplied by corporate entities more interested in their revenue than your health or empowerment.
So for my patient-based healthcare which is often the least expensive, it does ask the most of the patient and the least of government backed therapies and insurance. It has the final result of being the safest, most efficacious in general and definitely the most empowering. Wherewith, it can lead to permanent health change for the better and responsible consciousness which can then be with you for eternity.
Herbs are naturally produced on the earth, have a higher evolutionary coexistence with human DNA, and have a higher likelihood of compatibility with the human organism. Herbs are more complex than nutrients and have to be metabolized and detoxified by the human body. I use herbs only if I believe they are needed and after supplying baseline natural nutrients, because they are generally safer than prescription medications which are synthetic chemicals, never before on the planet or in the human body.
This is a quick overview of how I approach health in my holistic medical practice.
