TriVitas Mission: Inspiring people to experience wellness and create wealth for their life purposes
by Michael r. ellison, Ceo & Founder of TriVita, Inc. Every day at TriVita our leadership and staff are dedicated to fulfilling this mission. We are passionate about our mission and believe the world must find a healthier way to live. We believe that the diseases we are experiencing are not our heritage, but are influenced by the North American lifestyle. We believe we can change the way we think about health and wellness, that we can move from being treatment-focused to being wellness-focused. We believe every person has purposes that are meaningful and important in their lives and that wellness and wealth resources can help them fulfill those purposes. It was about thirteen years ago when I returned home from Mayo Clinic with the words of my physician team ringing in my ears: Michael, you must change the way you think about health and life. You will not have any quality of life and will die a premature death if you dont change. I started my wellness journey seeking out the secrets that seemed hidden from me the secrets to living with optimal wellness. I sought out health experts from every professional category that would cover physical, emotional and spiritual health. I sought the secrets that would be simple to practice but would be profound in their results. I had reached a level in which wellness seemed impossible for me to achieve and that lack of wellness was dramatically impacting the quality of my life. It was a period in my life in which I could not function properly as a husband, father or businessman. I could not really live to fulfill my life purposes without finding these wellness secrets. This journey of discovery brought me to the 10 Essentials of Health and Wellness. One by one I discovered them, applied them and thus began a journey to the greatest wellness of my life.
Deep breathing expels body toxins faster than any other means. Getting enough water provides an instant energy boost and you may even eat less. Establishing a bedtime routine will help you sleep longer and more soundly. Choosing healthy, whole foods minimizes blood sugar swings. An active lifestyle enables every system in your body to work better.
PHYSICAL 1. Breathe Deeply 2. Drink Water
3. Sleep Peacefully 4. Eat Nutritiously 5. Enjoy Activity
Heart-focused, sincere and positive feelings boost the immune system. As you let go of negative feelings toward others, you will nd greater peace and optimism. Gratitude brings instant joy, builds physical defenses and reduces stress. Practicing acceptance clears your mind of needless anxiety, freeing you to enjoy life.
EMOTIONAL 6. Give and Receive Love 7. Be Forgiving
8. Practice Gratitude
9. Develop Acceptance
SPIRITUAL 10. Develop a Relationship with God

As your relationship grows, you will enjoy all the blessings of unconditional love.
I had a vision of people experiencing wellness who wanted to share their wellness experience with others.
I wanted others to experience this wellness. I desired to find leading wellness experts who could help develop our nutraceutical products. I wanted to find experts who could write and inspire people to find greater wellness by providing information that embraced an overall health philosophy. I had a vision of people experiencing wellness who wanted to share their wellness experience with others. From that desire we founded TriVita 10 years ago with a simple mission: to inspire people to experience wellness and to create wealth for their life purposes. What I mean by wealth is having the resources you need to fulfill important purposes in your life. It is not about extravagant living. It may be as simple as having enough money to buy the quality of foods and supplements that create the most positive health experience you can have. As you will see on pages 4 and 5, I am going to cities across North America with Brazos Minshew, our Chief Science Officer, to introduce our new Sonoran Bloom product line and to inspire people to experience greater wellness. We are launching the line with Nopalea, a product that promotes optimal cellular health. Strong cells promote strong body system functionality, greatly enhancing a persons health. Nopalea has powerful anti-inflammatory, detoxification and antioxidant benefits, delivering a better aging result.

The twin puzzles of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome

How B vitamin supplementation may help

pain, which is a major symptom of FMS. And most people with FMS report fatigue, a major symptom of CFS. No wonder even doctors can be unsure which is which.
any puzzles are yet to be solved by modern medicine. As we continue to seek causes and solutions for the ills that plague mankind, confusion still swirls around two of the more mysterious ailments: chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FMS). During National Chronic Fatigue Awareness Month in March, its appropriate to look at these two issues together, since theyre often paired in medical literature. They have some important traits in common: We dont know what causes either CFS or fibromyalgia They share several symptoms There is no cure The confusion around these two syndromes is fed by their overlapping nature: Its estimated that up to 70% of people diagnosed with CFS also fit the clinical guidelines for FMS, and vice versa. Most people with CFS have some kind of 6 l VITAJOURNAL
FMS: Fibromyalgia makes you feel tired and
Vitamin B-12 and folic acid for managing symptoms
We do know, however, that many physicians and researchers (along with patients) support supplementation including Vitamin B-12 and folic acid as an important part of managing symptoms. Heres a thumbnail look that helps explain why:
causes muscle pain and tender points. Tender points are places on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms or legs that hurt when touched. Other symptoms can include trouble sleeping, morning stiffness, headaches, and problems with thinking and memory, sometimes called fibro fog. No one knows what causes fibromyalgia. Anyone can get it, but it is most common in middle-aged women. People with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases are especially prone to fibromyalgia.
CFS: As the name suggests, this is a disorder
that causes extreme fatigue. This fatigue is not the tiredness that goes away after you rest. Instead, it lasts a long time and limits your ability to do ordinary daily activities. Symptoms of CFS include fatigue for six months or more, and other problems such as muscle pain, memory problems, headaches, pain in multiple joints, sleep problems, sore throat and tender lymph nodes. It is most common in women in their 40s and 50s, but anyone can have it. It can last for years.

I feel it and know its working!
I have been taking TriVitas Sublingual B-12 since April of 2006. I work in a factory, on an assembly line, so I stand all day and do very minimal moving. We move a few inches every 15 minutes and thats it! My day starts at 5:00 a.m. and I dont get my first break until 10:00 a.m. Its very dicult to stay alert, focused and in-tune for such long periods of time. I was taking two original B-12 in the morning when I woke up, then another two at my mid-morning break in order to keep me alert. I called in to place an order and a Wellness Consultant suggested I try Super Sublingual B-12. Well, I was definitely interested; Ive been taking Super B-12 for a few months now and I love it. I feel it and know its working. It keeps me ahead of the game.

arise, and this may be a key to the use of B vitamins. As you may know, the medical links between B vitamins and brain function are strong and well documented. So, it isnt surprising that healthcare professionals in both traditional and alternative medicine, including experts in CFS and FMS, support the use of B vitamins and folic acid to help manage symptoms. If you or a loved one have, or suspect you have, one of these confusing syndromes, its important to know that both are much more than just being tired, or having some muscle pain. CFS and FMS are often misunderstood, and deserve attention and treatment. I urge you to consult with your healthcare professional, and to see how the highest quality B vitamin supplementation might help.

Stocking a healthy, whole foods kitchen

S
pring is about renewal and growth, a time when life offers itself in the very food that we eat. With the right dietary choices, our health and vitality can be renewed as well. As a nutritionist-counselor, my goal is to empower clients to gain nutritional awareness through a healthy lifestyle. You can enhance your nutritional awareness by slowly and steadily re-stocking your kitchen with new, healthy items you may never have heard of items that are as good tasting as they are good for you. By purchasing 3-5 healthy new products each time you shop and making a commitment to use them you will begin to dramatically improve your health and vitality. The following are my favorite, lesser-known items in each of the following categories: protein, produce, whole grains, fats and oils, dairy alternatives and condiments. All of these items can be found at a healthfood store and online, but many can also be found in your regular neighborhood grocery store. Tempeh: A natural fermented soy that makes a great veggie burger. Full of protein, dietary fiber and B vitamins; a healthier choice than tofu. Fresh fish: Look for wild caught to protect yourself from heavy metals and to maintain nutrients. Nuts and seeds: Raw almonds and walnuts are a great source of sustainable protein and healthy fat. grain bread to avoid allergies, mental fog and weight gain.
By Christa Orecchio, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Holistic Health Counselor
Pasta: Brown rice pasta for a lowglycemic choice. You will never taste the difference, but your body will process and digest it much easier than traditional pasta. Quinoa: A South American grain packing more protein than any other. Delicious, full of fiber and B vitamins and one of the least allergenic foods. Millet: This light, fluffy grain is good as a breakfast porridge. Its a complex carbohydrate easily processed by any body type.
Produce
Leeks, red radishes, daikon radishes, green onions: Powerful fat emulsifiers. Broccoli sprouts: Ten times more cancer-fighting ability than mature broccoli. Boxed/bagged mixed field greens: Easy, convenient way to eat greens. Kale: Most powerful source of absorbed calcium than any other food. Lemons: Powerful internal detoxifier. Avocado: More Vitamin E than any other food, plus monounsaturated fat, 80% of which is immediately digested.
Fats and oils

Flax oil: Great source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Never heat it. It is best on steamed veggies, or in salad dressings. Coconut oil: Use to bake and stir-fry; stable under high heat. Helpful with weight loss. Ghee: Alternative to butter. Its clarified, which means the milk solids have been removed.
Protein
Aduzi beans: Buy them canned. This bean strengthens the adrenal glands and supports kidney function. Garbanzo beans (chick peas): For those eating less meat this bean packs more iron than any other. 8 l VITAJOURNAL
Whole grains
Bread: Try a wheat alternative like brown rice bread, or sprouted whole
Dairy and alternatives

Goats milk yogurt: Dairy-free for those who cannot process lactose, casein or whey. trivita.com
Feta cheese/goat cheese: Dairy-free, low fat and very healthy. Almond milk: Great-tasting nut milk found in a box. Great source of magnesium and protein. rice milk: Healthy alternative to milk and the easiest to digest.
Condiments
Tamari: Wheat-free soy sauce. Apple cider vinegar: Healthiest vinegar to alkalize the body. Can alleviate indigestion and acid reflux with regular use of 1 tablespoon per day. Cayenne pepper: Boosts metabolism. Herbs and spices: A variety of fresh and dried. Cinnamon: Balances your blood sugar for 24 hours and staves off sweet cravings. Coconut milk: Use for sweet Asian dishes and to replace milk and crme on desserts. Agave nectar: Honey-like natural sweetener that is safe for diabetics, low in calories and 1.4 times sweeter than sugar. Xylitol: This natural sweetener derived from plants can be used cup for cup in place of sugar in any recipe.

St. Patricks Day
a celebration of Irish heritage
ach year, March 17 marks the Irish religious holiday known as St. Patricks Day, honoring the patron saint of Ireland. The first St. Patricks Day parade was held in the United States on March 17, 1762. Irish soldiers, serving in the English military, marched through New York Citys streets to the sounds of Irish music. Today, there are St. Patricks Day parades in many cities, but New York Citys is the longest running civilian parade in the world. The parade has nearly 150,000 participants and about 3.5 million spectators. According to the US Census Bureau, approximately 35.9 million Americans reported Irish ancestry in the 2006 American Community Survey. The Census of Canada reported 13.9% Irish Canadians that same year.

L-Phenylalanine:
By Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer Myth: L-Phenylalanine (LPA) causes strokes and is generally bad for you because it is an ingredient in toxic artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame. Fact: L-Phenylalanine is an essential protein. Your thyroid activity depends on a rich supply of LPA. Phenylalanine improves mood, helps your body reduce pain especially migraine pain and improves mental function. LPA is found in TriVitas Energy Now! product. Factoid: Just as fire can warm our homes, it can also cause destruction in a house fire. LPA is an essential protein that fuels energy production; aspartame is an artificial sweetener that causes destructive inflammation in test animals.
Phenylalanine and energy
Energy is more than just a passing mood. It is a complex series of biochemical and electrical processes very much like a long series of dominos all lined up and ready for the first one to be tipped over. The first step in the production of energy is to select a healthy source of basic nutrients: sugars, proteins and fats. Sugars provide a rapid but brief donation of energy. Proteins donate five times more energy than sugar. Healthy fats donate eight times more! These three nutrients make up the basis for energy production. The end result of selecting the proper foods and supplements contributes to the way you feel and how much energy you have for your day. In order for you to feel energetic you must tip over that first domino by selecting healthy foods. Supplements may also help support your 1-800-991-7116

In human metabolism energy begets energy in much the same way: Each transition donates energy to the next step in the energy cycle. little sleep. You likely lost your appetite and experienced less pain. These are all the effects of PEA, which is also called the hormone of love! LPA creates Tyrosine for healthy thyroid function. LPA also creates PEA and gives you a feeling of endless energy while helping to reduce pain, appetite and fatigue. Then, PEA donates energy to the next dominos in the chain and creates other, even more potent brain chemicals: L-Dopa, Dopamine and nor-Epinephrine. This is called the dopamine cascade. Think of it as the final series of dominos in the energy chain. In the dopamine cascade the result of LPA metabolism is not just one domino falling. The end result of the dopamine cascade is an energy donation to as many as 4 trillion nerve synapses tiny reservoirs of energy all over your body from your head to your toes.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

While we inherit body type, like eye color or face shape, our individual eating and exercise habits can make a difference. If you eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and keep your weight at an appropriate level, chances are that your mirror still shows some flaw: thighs, abdomen, buttocks or other area thats too fat or too something (at least compared to that impossible ideal in the ads, movies, etc.). When it comes to body image, a certain amount of self-criticism is common. However, research shows that when this goes too far, it can result in serious eating disorders like anorexia (where youre too thin but think youre fat) and bulimia (binge eating followed by purging). According to James Rosen, Ph.D., a specialist in body image research and psychology at the University of Vermont, people who struggle the most with body image are the ones who are most likely to develop eating disorders.
How a negative self-image can hurt your healthy weight

4 Think about the ways you may feel ashamed of your body part, and might have tried to change its appearance (wearing baggy clothes, undergoing liposuction). Have you dieted in an unhealthy way? Spent hours at the gym to change your looks and not to improve your health? 5 When you think about your appearance, do any of these feelings come to mind? Dissatisfied Insecure Distressed Obsessed Embarrassed
hen you look in the mirror, do you see nothing but flaws? Sheer perfection? Something in between? If youre like many people and most women you may see more minuses than pluses. The problem is, this negative self-image can set you up for failure when you decide to take action about weight and health. In Western societies, the glamorized ideal for both sexes is a false standard. Bombarded by ads, movies and TV shows that spotlight dangerously thin females and males with sixpack abs, we tend to accept these images as what we should be, and invariably come up short. As a result, we may throw ourselves into extreme exercise plans, unhealthy diets and even severe emotional problems as we struggle to meet someone elses standard.
Fill out the body image questionnaire
6 When you think of the things that define who you are, what comes up first? Do you consider yourself fat, as opposed to intelligent, caring, a good worker or some other personal quality?
The odds are that at least one of your body parts doesnt please you. To see how severe your concern may be, fill out this body image questionnaire from the National Womens Health Information Center. List five body parts in order of your 1 dissatisfaction with them, and note what you dont like about their appearance. Some examples: Thighs too fat Biceps too skinny Teeth crooked 2 When you look in the mirror, how do you usually perceive these parts? (example: disgusting flabby thighs). Notice if your body talk is negative and hyper-critical, or objective and neutral. 3 Are you embarrassed or self-conscious about your appearance? Do you assume that other people think badly about you because of your appearance? Do you avoid wearing a bathing suit at beaches or pools?
Practice loving yourself from the inside out, rather than judging yourself from the outside in.
The questionnaire ends with this thought: No one is going to comment on the imperfections of your body at your funeral. Practice loving yourself from the inside out, rather than judging yourself from the outside in. No matter what body type genetics gave you, you can choose healthy eating and exercise habits to keep your body going strong. Remember to follow the 10 Essentials (page 2), and dont overlook #9: Develop Acceptance. If you can accept your physical inheritance and develop a positive self-image, youll be building overall health: physical, emotional and spiritual.
Which body type are you?
Most people are some combination of the three main body types: 1. Ectomorphs. This type is usually tall and 1 thin, with a slight frame and narrow hips and shoulders. 2. Mesomorphs. This type tends to look 2 bulkiest in the upper body, with broad shoulders and a muscular build. 3 3. Endomorphs. This type has a soft, rounded appearance, usually with shoulders narrower than hips. 12 l VITAJOURNAL

Leanology fueled Johns 53-pound weight loss
Lose the Weight You Want in 3 Easy Steps!

STEP 1:
This drag-racing champ is a winner at dropping pounds the smart way

When it comes to cars, John can do just about anything, and has, for over 40 years. His weight was another story entirely until he tried the Leanology Smart Weight Loss System. A former drag-racing champion, the New York resident has devoted much of his life to just about anything automotive. He was in the auto repair business for over 40 years, raced cars and is still heavily involved in show cars. Although excess weight was an unwelcome passenger for the past 10 years, he couldnt lose weight and keep it o until recently. John has really been around the track when it comes to other weight loss programs. He tried one that sells packaged food, and he did drop some pounds, But as soon as I was back to real food, the weight came back. He tried a lowcarbohydrate plan with the same result: all the weight returned after he went back to normal eating. Yet more fad eating plans and diets came and went, and though the weight always went, it always came back. Finally, last summer John decided to try Leanology.

Colorectal cancer: Its common and very curable in its early stages
Should you be screened?
By Dr. Samuel N. Grief
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States and the second most common cause of cancer-related death. Leading healthcare professionals realize the importance of educating Samuel N. Grief, the public about this deadly M.D., CCFP, FCFP disease and that is why March has been designated National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Understandably, the colon and rectum are neither glamorous nor easy topics to discuss with your healthcare provider. Nonetheless, it is extremely important that you or your provider bring this topic up during one of your next medical visits to ensure you will be properly assessed and screened for any colorectal disease. FOBT is the easiest to perform and can be done in the privacy of your own home. Application of a stool specimen to special testing cards on three consecutive days is the most common way of performing this test. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is done at your doctors office and requires brief preparation with a stool cleanser or laxative. The instrument, a sigmoidoscope, is a short, flexible tube that uses a fiber optic light to see up to about 60 cm (about 2 feet) inside your rectum and colon. This procedure will not detect any disease within the colon above this distance. Most medical societies recommend combining flexible sigmoidoscopy with FOBT every five years to enhance screening. Colonoscopy is the best test for identifying colon polyps. Medical authorities recognize this procedure as inherently the most risky, too. While perforation of the colon may occur, it is quite rare. Also, most physicians performing this procedure place their patients under conscious sedation, meaning you will be awake but not truly alert. This may place you at increased risk for lung and heart complications if you have underlying lung and heart disease. allowing toxins to fester within your bowels. Additionally, one scientific study confirmed an association between red meat consumption and increased colon cancer in women. Increase your dietary fiber fiber is great for your overall health and improves bowel function. However, it has not been scientifically-proven to lower your risk for colorectal cancer. Vitamin and mineral supplements Vitamin D and calcium have been scientifically shown to help reduce the development of colon polyps. Calcium seems to be the strong partner here, but Vitamin D assists calcium absorption within the intestines. Thats why I recommend a calcium supplement for bone health and general well-being, especially as we age. Other medicines, such as aspirin or its cousins, are potentially useful to lower the risk for colorectal disease, but their side effects of bleeding and kidney and liver problems make them unsuitable for most people. Lastly, cholesterol-lowering medicines known as statins have also been found in several studies to have a link to lower risk for colorectal disease. Call a Wellness Consultant at 1-800-991-7116 to make sure you are taking a quality Vitamin D supplement. TriVita offers two excellent choices: VitaCal-Mag D and Bone Builder.
Why should I be screened for colorectal cancer?
Most colorectal cancers arise from pre-existing polyps. These polyps occur in approximately 30% of adults age 50 years and older and occur more commonly as we age. The goal of colorectal cancer screening is to identify early cancers and polyps in order to limit the spread of disease and save lives.
What can I do to prevent colorectal cancer?
How often should I be screened?

Routine screening should occur on the following basis and by one or more of the following methods:
There are several things that may lessen your risk for developing disease of the colon and rectum: Keep the weight off many scientific studies confirm the association between obesity and risk for colorectal cancer. Lower your fat intake less fat in ones diet may decrease the risk for developing colon polyps, the precursor to cancer. Eat less red meat there is some controversy here, but red meat has very little fiber and slows up the bowel function,

How much caeine is in your daily diet?

This stimulant can actually zap your energy in the long run
North Americans love their coffee. Whether you live in a big city or small town, you can always find plenty of places to get your daily caffeine fix. While some people know when to put a lid on their coffee drinking, there are many self-confessed addicts who need continual jolts of caffeine just to make it through the day. If you have more than 500 to 600 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day, or about four to seven cups of coffee, the consequences can include restlessness, anxiety, headaches and stomachache. More and more people are drinking so-called energy drinks which contain large doses of caffeine. Energy drinks can boost the heart rate and blood pressure, dehydrate the body and prevent sleep. What they dont do is give you healthy, lasting energy. Energy Now! is a great natural alternative because it lets you enjoy quick energy without the stimulants.

What happens when energy drinks are combined with alcohol?

Energy drinks are abused even more when they are used as mixers with alcohol. This combination creates numerous dangers: Since energy drinks are stimulants and alcohol is a depressant, the combination of eects could be dangerous. The stimulant eects can mask your level of intoxication and keep you from realizing how much alcohol you have consumed. Both energy drinks and alcohol are very dehydrating, which will increase the toxicity and create an even bigger hangover.

Barb enthusiastically suggests TriVita Sublingual B-12
or eight years Barb suffered from perpetual pain, nausea and night sweats. And like so many other pain sufferers, this Alberta, Canada native often found herself awake in the middle of the night. Then, good fortune struck when she happened to tune into a TriVita infomercial... and her life changed dramatically for the better.
taking it immediately. The B-12 products I had taken before made no difference at all, she recalls. TriVitas Sublingual B-12 made all the difference in the world. I was amazed at how well this product worked for me. I had more energy throughout the day, slept better at night and no longer experienced night sweats. My mental recall has also become incredible. Back when she was in pain and searching for answers, Barbs doctor wanted to put her on prescription medicines. Ive never taken drugs in my life and never will, she proclaims. I always try to find natural solutions to my health problems and thats exactly what I did thanks to TriVitas Sublingual B-12. Since then, shes added Dr. Libbys Vital C Crystals, Energy Now! and CoQ-10 to her regimen. She uses Energy Now! for a quick pickup and TriVitas CoQ-10 has really helped with Barbs restless legs syndrome. Before I started taking both B-12 and CoQ-10, my condition was so bad I had to stand on cold concrete to reduce the pain, she recalls. The
excruciating pain has gone away with the help of these two great products. Her husband is a big fan of Energy Now!, He definitely notices the difference when he doesnt take it, she reports. Barb strongly believes that many of her health issues were the price she paid for being a hairstylist for over 30 years. She was exposed to numerous chemicals and hair sprays and her serious health issues led her on an interesting and very rewarding career path. She had her blood analyzed and was amazed by what it told her about her health condition. Barb ended up going to work for the same company that had analyzed her blood. I became such a strong believer in blood analysis that I went through extensive training and opened my own blood analysis clinic, she states. I now feel like Im really helping people because a simple blood test can tell you so many things about your health condition. It helps me tell someone what their body needs and what it is lacking. Most of her customers have already exhausted every resource possible through the medical trivita.com

community. Barb notes that they are often frustrated and many times feel worse than when they started seeing doctors for their health problems. Barb doesnt hesitate to suggest Sublingual B-12 to her clients because it does what it says it will do. She has personally seen the devastating effects of B-12 deprivation. Her father-in-law had an accident and broke some ribs. He couldnt sleep and his doctor prescribed pain pills. For one month her father-in-law was completely disoriented and everyone thought he was losing his mind to Alzheimers disease. Another doctor gave her father-in-law a B-12 shot and he eventually started taking Sublingual B-12. Within a few weeks he was back to his normal self. Many have sampled other B-12 products but once people try TriVita Sublingual B-12, they quickly realize a big difference in how they feel. She just cant say enough good things about Sublingual B-12 and doesnt use or recommend other B-12 supplements. TriVitas Sublingual B-12 is the best, Barb emphatically states. This go-getter makes sure that people who need Sublingual B-12 have TriVitas phone number so they can call and order their own supply. Barb also makes sure to have plenty of 10% discount coupons on hand.* Obviously, Barbs approach works because she has at least 13 referrals to date and she has earned sizeable compensation checks that she applies toward her own TriVita product purchases. Barb is also a selfadmitted snowbird and she actually takes her business on the road during the long Canadian winter to such warm, sunny places as California, Arizona and Mexico. She has a strong piece of advice for anyone who has healthcare concerns: Get the help you need before it is too late, Barb emphasizes. The effects of low Vitamin B-12 are often misdiagnosed and it is important to understand what your body is telling you and take action. You should not stop taking any medication without rst consulting your physician. * To nd out how you can earn rewards while sharing TriVita products, see page 27.
Barbs referral success has earned her big rewards
When it comes to referring, Barb lets the TriVita product quality speak for itself. Barb says, People are truly amazed by what these products can do for them. They respect her opinion because she operates her own blood cell analysis clinic and can authoritatively tell people what their bodies are lacking. I find that most people who come to my clinic need Vitamin B-12, she observes.

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The winter seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again. Sarah Ban Breathnach
Rejoice,
its Spring!
by Dr. Judy The spring season is a time of growth, renewal and resurrection. Plants and animals that were in hibernation Judy Ellison, Ph.D. through the long winter months burst once again to life in March with renewed energy and force.
Bears, woodchucks and chipmunks awaken from the sleep that conserves energy while their bodies rebuild in time for spring, and renewed life. Plants usually slow down and stop their growth during winter before that fresh burst of life energy. to embrace new attitudes and beliefs. It is a good time to consider the balance of our lives work, play and relationships.
Coming out of emotional hibernation
new growth, renewal and a re-balancing of energies. Spring renews my hope and belief that I can make my life better by getting rid of old, worn-out beliefs and bad habits, and that I will soon be blooming again. With this renewal of mind and emotions, you will have the energy to make the necessary changes in your spiritual and physical health, as well. You may not have all the answers now, but as you open your mind up to the possibilities available to you, the answers will come. You can live in vibrant, radiant health and experience closeness to your creator. As Gods world comes back to life after resting, spring is a great time to get out and enjoy the freshness of natures beauty. During this time of year, as the weather warms up and the robins begin to sing, go out and take a walk, or go on a nature hike. Take time to feel excited about your present moment and the possibilities of your future.
Its okay to slow down
Our society doesnt understand sloooowing down. It is always on the go. If we are in business for ourselves, we are always driving the marketing machine. We need to stay in touch with our potential customers, keep up on the industry and stay on top of the game. If we do stop, we sometimes interpret it as depression and beat up on ourselves for not being able to keep running at a frenetic pace. Stop. Its okay to slow down. Its natural.
Cycles of life, seasons, emotion
There is a cycle to nature and life itself; when you understand these seasons, you realize the necessity of winter. Even we humans crawl into the cave emotionally at times and hibernate. As the days shorten and it gets dark so much earlier, we become sluggish and unmotivated. We tend to want to sleep more. The natural rhythm of winter is to slow down and hibernate.

your body, His Temple 1 Cor. 6:19-20
Praying for a better life? Youre already on the right track

by Chaplain Gene Henderson ... let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.
March is Spiritual Awareness Month, and I want to share some of my own awareness with you by asking a bold question: How might your self-control be manifested? Would you use your inner strength to be kinder to those you encounter every day? To avoid excesses of spending money? To honor your body, His temple by doing more to promote your own good health? What better time than now, during Spiritual Awareness Month, to become more aware of the power that can be drawn by living your faith. If we are alert and self-controlled, as Scripture urges, we arent asleep: were wide awake, open to the boundless possibilities of life. We become more grateful for all our blessings, more mindful of the precious gifts weve been given.
Science has concluded that going to church makes you a stronger person.
than those who dont. (Self-control was explained as living out your ideals: letting a concern for others, for example, lead to volunteer work.) Thats right: Science has concluded that going to church makes you a stronger person. Two psychologists at the University of Miami wanted to test the idea that religion gives people internal strength, so they pored over decades of studies. When you add it all up, said one, it turns out there are remarkably consistent findings that religiosity correlates with higher self-control. Id like to point out that the researchers did not nd that this religiosity is rooted in fear of some punishment. No, the scientists said that religious people have self-control because they actually believe and act on the ideals of their faith. Their religious values become one with their own personal values. So, their self-control is precious, even sacred, because its part of the foundation of their lives.
1 Thessalonians 5:5-7
Why does religion help so many people?
Why, through the ages, have people in every place and every culture turned to spiritual worship to help sustain them through hard times? Why has an organized spiritual community (we call ours church) been so vital to success in all areas of life? Of course, God tells us to gather in His name, and we comply. Perhaps we dont always attend services with the gladdest of hearts, or with gratitude for all we have, but we do gather to worship Him. In so doing, we receive His grace and blessing, and, I hope, always come away feeling comforted and uplifted. There are other benefits to practicing religion, too. If you want scientific proof, just ask science.

Whether youre in a church, a quiet corner of your home or near a beautiful field let religion or faith, or whatever you wish to call it, help you have a better life.
Science ndings that support religion
Yes, its science that has given us some of the answers about why and how religion helps us. In the recent past, research has shown a strong, undeniable link between prayers and health. People who were prayed for showed significant improvement in their health, according to an analysis of 17 studies conducted over the past 40 years. And for some time, researchers have known that people who are devoutly religious tend to have stronger marriages, live longer and generally be happier than others. (For the latest findings on this topic, see page 28.) More recently, an even bigger study (drawing on 80 years of research), concluded that people who demonstrate religious belief by attending services with fellow worshipers have more self-control 1-800-991-7116

Against the wishes of her parents, Florence Nightingale chose to become a nurse, a profession which was considered un-ladylike. When the Crimean War broke out in 1854, stories about conditions at the front prompted Nightingale to volunteer for service. Through her efforts, sanitary conditions at the hospitals improved greatly and casualties decreased. Upon her return to England, Nightingale established a school of nursing; her greatest contribution was to make nursing a respectable profession. Her 1860 book, Notes on Nursing, is still in print today. An accomplished statistician, she is also credited with inventing the pie chart.

Because surgical positions were hard to find in the 30s especially for women Apgar moved into the area of anesthesiology. Later she focused on obstetrical anesthesia and in 1952, presented the Apgar score: a system for assessing the health of newborn babies. Today, the Apgar score is a standard test for newborns. Today, women all over the world are making advances and improvements in the field of medicine. We thank them and all the other women who work toward making our world a better place.

And of those people, a sizable number said that the supplements are an essential part of my wellness regimen, and I cannot do without them.

How do you stay positive in tough times?

I first turn to my spirituality which is a mainstay in my life and which has taken me through every tough time I have endured. But the flesh is sometimes weak so as I am feeding my spirit through prayer, I increase my exercise from three times a week to most days of the week. This always improves my outlook on any situation. I also make sure that I eat six small nutritiously balanced meals a day to boost my post-menopausal metabolism, and take my vitamin supplements religiously. Im glad that I added Super Sublingual B-12 to my supplements. It makes me more mentally focused, energized and better able to deal with the stress of planning a wedding, a job change and preparing to move to another state, all while still working full-time as a nurse practitioner.

I dont think Ive ever laughed so hard in my life as I have with these grown women! Dont get me wrong, I dont hide my head in the sand; I am aware of what is going on in the world, but I choose to not focus on those things. I am making financial adjustments in my life, just as everyone is, but I concentrate on the wonderful blessings I have my beautiful family (and very soon, a grandchild), my friends, my career and the knowledge that God is in control. Yes, the current times are hard and yes, they may get harder. Still, laughter and having a heart of gratitude not only keeps me from feeling fretful, but also gives me hope for the future.

Terry Johnston,
Business Aliate First, I count my blessings and stay focused on all the things I am grateful for; my wife, our family, our friends and our good mental and physical health. Second, I work on keeping my brain and body tuned up with proper nutrition and exercise. TriVitas 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness play an enormous part in this effort. I concentrate on what I can control, how I look after myself, how I treat others, how I spend money and how I can enjoy simple pleasures from everyday living. During tough economic times with so many people affected, it is so important to stay healthy in body and mind. If I can look after myself and somehow inspire someone else each day, thats a great day.

Simple training tips for a healthier, stronger you

Its easy to get started with these beginner, strength-boosting exercises
Many of us think of strength or weight training as something just for young 20-somethings with bulky biceps and bulging veins. Thats just not true. Strength training has been proven to offer tremendous health benefits to people of all ages. And you dont need to buy an expensive set of weights or join a health club to get started. If youve never lifted weights in your life and many people havent there are many good reasons to start now. Muscle tissue, bone density, muscle power and overall strength start dwindling over the years. These changes in your body can lead to accidents and injuries that can lessen your ability to lead an independent, active life. Strength training is one of the most effective ways to slow and perhaps even reverse much of this decline. Having weak, small muscles doesnt just change your appearance or movements. Muscle loss affects the body in much more important ways. Strong muscles are able to draw oxygen and nutrients from the blood more efficiently than weak ones. This allows you to enjoy your favorite activities with less heart strain. Strong muscles are also better at absorbing sugar in the blood and helping the body stay sensitive to insulin (which helps cells remove sugar from the blood). Strong muscles can help keep blood sugar levels in check, which in turn can help prevent or help control type 2 diabetes and improve heart performance. Weak muscles can speed up the loss of independence because everyday activities, such as walking, cleaning, shopping and even dressing yourself become more difficult. You may find it harder to balance your body properly when walking or standing still. By age 65, one in three people have fallen. Because bones tend to weaken over time, one out of every 20 of these falls ends in fracture of the hip, wrist or leg. The risk of these problems can be reduced by exercise.
Seated bridge
1 Sit slightly forward in a chair with your hands on the armrests. 2 Your feet should be flat on the floor and slightly apart, and your upper body should be upright (dont lean forward). 3 Using your arms for balance only, slowly raise your buttocks off the chair until nearly standing with your knees bent. Pause. 4 Slowly sit back down. 5 Aim for 8-12 repetitions. Rest and repeat the set.
Simple beginners strengthboosting exercises
All you need is a sturdy chair with armrests and athletic shoes with non-skid soles for these simple strength-building exercises.
Triceps dip
1 Put a chair with armrests up against a wall. Sit in the chair and put your feet together flat on the floor. Lean forward a bit while keeping your shoulders and back straight. 2 Bend your elbows and place your hands on the armrests of the chair, so they are in line with your torso. 3 Pressing downward on your hands, try to lift yourself up a few inches by straightening out your arms. 4 Raise your upper body and thighs, but keep your feet in contact with the floor. Pause. Slowly release until youre sitting back down again. 5 Aim for 8-12 repetitions. Rest and repeat the set.
Standing calf raise

1 Stand with your feet flat on the floor. Hold onto the back of your chair for balance. 2 Raise yourself up on tiptoe, as high as possible. 3 Hold briefly, then lower yourself. 4 Aim for 8-12 repetitions. Rest and repeat the set.
Make sure you consult with a healthcare professional before starting any diet or exercise program.

The Healthy Aging Pack is everything I need.

Eight years ago my husband and I were in a bad car accident. A year into the healing process I saw TriVita Sublingual B-12 on TV and decided to try it. Within a couple of days I noticed a difference. Later I added Vitamin C Crystals. I had a pain in my shoulder for a long time. One day, I realized the pain was gone. Now Im on the Healthy Aging Pack, which includes these two products, plus VitaDaily AM/PM and OmegaPrime. I keep taking them because I feel much better. I sleep well at night. I have minimal aches and pains. I have steady energy throughout the day. Plus its convenient and theres a cost savings. I love TriVita! Kathy G. Jenks, OK
I really like the new me!

After my last child I never returned to my prepregnancy weight. Plus, as I got older, even more weight seemed to stick. I was discouraged, depressed and embarrassed by my increased weight. After attempting several weight loss programs with little success, I felt totally defeated. I started taking Leanology in January 2007. My weight loss started off modestly, but once I invested in the Leanology shakes and capsules, the weight started to peel off. Over the next five months I lost 30 pounds and I have managed to keep it off ever since! I love the taste of the shakes and the convenience of the Leanology capsules. I have more energy to do the things I enjoy, like walking and bike riding. Leanology has been an excellent investment in my health, my energy levels and in my emotional outlook on life. I really like the new me! Rose D. Vanderhoof, BC
My energy was back!

I have a mitro-valve condition in my heart, so I have my blood tested often. During one such blood test, the doctor found that I had anemia, which made me tired. A lady in our church was taking the Sublingual B-12 and told us about it, so I decided to try it myself. At my next blood test, the anemia didnt show up at all, and my energy was back! Lorraine W. Avon Park, FL
weakness and pain in all of my joints. On bad days I also have blurred vision, mental fog and Im so weak I cant hold up a paperback book. Energy Now! is the reason I can do what I can do. It gives me energy and stamina. I just thank God for it. I take two in the morning and another one a little after lunch. But Id tell anyone to play it by ear and adjust individually sometimes Id need just one in the morning or Id have to take two in the afternoon. But I want everyone with chronic fatigue to know that Energy Now! really helps me. Virginia C. Lexington, MS
to eat desserts. After one week, I realized it has never been this easy to say NO to sugar. Being on the Adaptogen 10 Plus has allowed me to calmly make better snack decisions. Thank you, TriVita. Carol E. Springfield, VT
I have had two scans in the last two years and its amazing my bones are fine.
Five years ago I was diagnosed with osteopenia, or thinning of the bones, in my lumbar area. When I walked it was really painful and I felt like I was 80 years old. I tried several prescription medications but they didnt work. So I tried VitaCal-Mag D, and then switched to Bone Builder when it came out. I have had two scans in the last two years and its amazing my bones are fine. Plus, now I can walk without the pain! I had a friend try the Bone Builder, and she loves it, too. Bobbie S. Jamestown, NC
You should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program, before taking any medication, or if you suspect you might have a heart problem. You should not stop taking any medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.
Energy Now! is the reason I can do what I can do. It gives me energy and stamina.
Ive had chronic fatigue syndrome for over twenty years. I went to every doctor and tried every medication in the world trying to find relief, and nothing worked. I kept trying to find something to help me through the day. Then I saw James Robison on TV and got the Sublingual B-12 and Energy Now! Ive been taking it for several years, except when I was in remission for about a year. Im 62 years old and care for my mother. With CFS, I have no stamina, 24 l VITAJOURNAL
Adaptogen 10 Plus is the first product that I have tried that I can feel, sense and enjoy within a few days.

Kay shares and earns her way to success

Its reward time for this active Aliate Member
ometimes a simple switch of TV stations can make a huge difference in your life. Thats what happened when Kay tuned into a TriVita infomercial over three years ago. Up until then, the 46-year-old North Carolina resident had been giving herself B-12 shots twice weekly for years.
Kay decided to start taking TriVita Sublingual B-12 and was amazed by the results. It worked just as well as the injections, without the pain and the enormous expense, she says. I also noticed a big improvement with my energy level. Kay has not gone without Sublingual B-12 since her very first order and is looking forward to her first shipment of Super Sublingual B-12. She is also benefiting from several other TriVita products: Balanced Woman, she says, has allowed her to avoid estrogen replacement therapy. OmegaPrime improves her skin tone and helps with arthritis and inflammation. NutraFruits gives her a daily dose of fruits and vegetables in one simple scoop.
with health issues who would be excellent candidates for TriVita products. In 2008 Kay referred over 12 people and has earned hundreds of dollars in free product just by sharing her product success story.
When talking to people I always stress the importance of taking high-quality products that actually work.
Im grateful that TriVita has an easy-to-use program that allows me to share these products with people that I care about. Kay
When talking to people I always stress the importance of taking high-quality products that actually work, Kay says. I also use written materials from TriVita, especially the catalog, to help explain product benefits. She also makes sure that prospects take advantage of the 10% off coupon, which can be easily downloaded from trivita.com. Theres one benefit of referring that cant be measured in dollars and cents. Thats the priceless pleasure of seeing family and friends enjoying better health. For example, Kays boyfriend took Sublingual B-12 and noticed a big change in his energy level within one week. Another friend tried Joint Complex successfully to ease various aches and pains. Yet another friend has noticed a daily boost in well-being with Daily Women. Says Kay, I get tremendous satisfaction from hearing my friends talk about their product experiences. Sometimes her co-workers and friends want her to order for them, but Kay suggests that they call in to place their own order so they can get the full benefits of a free membership. This includes earning points which ultimately allows them to receive their own products for free. She has also encouraged her referrals to become Affiliate Members so they can benefit from the same rewards that she now enjoys.

New findings in health and wellness

Attending weekly religious services may help you live longer, study suggests
New York, New York Attending weekly religious services may reduce the risk of death by 20%, researchers from Yeshiva Universitys Albert Einstein College of Medicine reported. The study, published in Psychology & Health, followed 92,395 women between the ages of 50 and 79 who were part of the larger Womens Health Initiative Observational Study. Based on self-reports of religious service attendance and the strength and comfort offered by the services, it was discovered that those who attended services at least once a week had a 20% reduction in all causes of death with the notable exception of coronary heart disease. Researchers do not understand how religiosity provides this protective effect; further studies have been suggested.

A spoonful of sugar... may lead to addiction

Princeton, New Jersey Sugar may be addictive, say researchers from Princeton University. In animal models, scientists found that sugar could induce all the stages of addiction, as defined by the American Psychiatric Association: bingeing, withdrawal and craving. If bingeing on sugar is really a form of addiction, there should be long-lasting effects in the brains of sugar addicts, said lead scientist Bart Hoebel, psychology professor at Princeton University. Craving and relapse are critical components of addiction, and we have been able to demonstrate these behaviors in sugar-bingeing rats in a number of ways. Rats that were denied sugar for long periods of time, consumed more sugar when it was reintroduced to them. When rats ingested large amounts of sugar, neurochemical changes occurred in their brains, similar to the changes produced by substances such as cocaine, morphine and nicotine. When denied sugar, rats exhibited withdrawal symptoms such as chattering teeth and an unusual lack of interest in their surroundings. It seems possible that the brain adaptations and behavioral signs seen in rats may occur in some individuals with binge-eating disorder or bulimia, Hoebel said. Our work provides links between the traditionally defined substance-use disorders, such as drug addiction, and the development of abnormal desires for natural substances. This knowledge might help us to devise new ways of diagnosing and treating addictions in people.
Not just for St. Patricks Day: a diet high in cabbage may cut breast cancer risk
Baltimore, Maryland Young women who eat a lot of cabbage may reduce their future risk of breast cancer, according to researchers from Michigan State University and the National Food and Nutrition Institute of Warsaw. The study was part of the Polish Womens Health Study, a long-term breast cancer study that follows 28 l VITAJOURNAL Celebrating 10 Years of Health and Wellness trivita.com
Polish women as well as Polish-born women living in the United States. Polish women eat an average of 30 pounds of cabbage and sauerkraut per year, versus 10 pounds in the United States. And, Polish women have a one-third lower risk of dying of breast cancer than their United States counterparts. However, when Polish women immigrate to the United States, their breast cancer risk triples. Researchers wanted to find out if dietary changes contributed to the increased risk. The women were asked to fill out food questionnaires asking about their diets when they were 12 and 13 years old and as adults. Women who ate four or more servings per week of cabbage during adolescence were 72% less likely to develop breast cancer than those who ate only 1.5 servings per week. The protective effect was limited to raw and short-cooked cabbage, including raw sauerkraut, fresh cabbage and steamed sauerkraut. Cabbage that was cooked longer, in dishes such as cabbage rolls and pierogi, did not have a protective effect. Researchers discovered that even women who consumed moderate and low amounts of cabbage in their youth could still reduce their breast cancer risk by eating high amounts of cabbage in adulthood. Study results were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research annual cancer prevention meeting.

The last couple of years she has suffered extensively from inflammatory arthritis in her feet, to the point that she had to give up all cardio impact exercise even those considered low-impact like the treadmill and elliptical machine. Nopalea addresses the number one topic today among medical science researchers: inflammation. Nopalea has dramatically proven to lower high C-reactive protein, an indicator of inflammation.

London, Ontario Taking certain medications with fruit juice can lower their effectiveness, researchers reported at the 236th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society. It has been known for many years that taking certain drugs with grapefruit juice can increase their potency, potentially leading to harmful side effects. But the same scientists who discovered that link now caution that taking certain other drugs with grapefruit, orange or apple juice can actually reduce the effectiveness of them. These include anti-cancer, high blood pressure, anti-rejection and antibiotic drugs. The concern is loss of benefit of medications essential for the treatment of serious medical conditions, said lead researcher David G. Bailey, Ph.D., professor of clinical pharmacology at the University of Western Ontario. He recommends that people consult their healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking medications with juice and suggests taking most medications with water.

Food fact or fiction?

1 2 In a healthy eating plan, all my food should be low-fat. Fact Fiction Snacking may keep me from feeling too hungry and then overeating at mealtime. Fact Fiction If I eat too many carbohydrates, Ill gain weight. Fact Fiction Vegetarian diets are healthful. Fact Fiction Eating sugar causes diabetes. Fact Fiction Fad diets work. Fact Fiction
Test your nutrition smarts

In observance of National Nutrition Month in March, heres a nutrition quiz adapted from the American Dietetic Association. Rate each of these nine nutrition statements as Fact or Fiction. Some are tricky read carefully before choosing your answer.
1. Fiction. Your goal should be to keep your total daily intake within 20-35% of your calories, but that doesnt mean every single food you eat must be low in fat. The idea is to balance high- and low-fat items over the course of a day or two within a healthy eating pattern. 2. Fact. Healthy snacks like whole grain crackers with low-fat cheese, or fat-free yogurt with fresh fruit, can keep you fueled, and help you eat sensible meals. 3. Fiction. If you eat too many calories from any source (carbohydrates, fat or protein) and dont exercise, youre more likely to gain weight. Excess calories from any source are stored as fat. 4. Fact. It takes planning and care, but vegetarian eating can be healthful. A plan should emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat dairy or alternatives, along with protein that may include eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, beans and nuts. 5. Fiction. Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin in the body. Foods high in sugar are often also high in calories. Overeating these foods can lead to weight gain, and people who are carrying too much weight are at increased risk for diabetes. 6. Fact, BUT when they do work, its only for a short time. Any weight loss is unlikely to be maintained over the long term. The eating plan that works is one you can follow for life, combined with physical activity. 7. Fiction. Color is not a reliable way to identify healthy food products: the food label is. To get all the benefits of whole grains, eat three or more servings daily. 8. Fact. Most peoples daily sodium (salt) intake should be 2,300 milligrams or less. Thats about the amount of salt in one teaspoon. Most of the sodium we eat comes from processed foods, so check food labels to see how much sodium is contained in each serving. 9. Fact. An extra 100 calories daily adds up to about a pound of weight gain per month. On the other hand, you can lose 10 pounds a year by cutting 100 calories per day and increasing your physical activity.
3 4 5 6 7
You can tell whole-grain food products by their color: theyre always brown. Fact Fiction My daily salt intake should be no more than about one teaspoon. Fact Fiction If I eat an extra 100 calories each day, Ill gain about 10 pounds a year. Fact Fiction

Alfred Libby, M.D. Inventor of TriVita Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid Dr. Libby, a renowned nutraceutical pioneer, worked to help hundreds of patients feel better every day. An associate of Dr. Linus Pauling (Nobel Prize Laureate), Dr. Libby developed this unique, sublingual delivery system for his own patients. It was known to give similar mental energy results as B-12 shots, but without the shots added pain and expense.
