Health Benefits of Royal Jelly
Cancer-fighting properties:
Royal jelly fights cancer by suppressing the blood supply to tumors. Royal Jelly balances the hormonal imbalance present in prostate cancer cases, and works with other nutrients to activate apoptosis (cell death) and assist in prostate cancer cases, and works with other nutrients to activate apoptosis (cell death) and assist in rebuilding patients immune systems.
Skincare properties:
Royal Jelly contains DNA and gelatin, making it highly desirable and commonly utilized in skincare products since these two ingredients aid collagen production (and thus provides anti-aging benefits).
Antibacterial components:
A protein found in royal jelly, royalisin - provides numerous antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, and is effective at dealing with certain bacterial cultures.
Infertility treatment:
It is no coincidence that worker bees are infertile, while queen bees can lay up to 2,000 eggs per day throughout their extensive 4 to 6 year lifespan. This is because royal jelly stimulates estrogen production, thereby stabilizing menstrual cycles in women, improving sperm morphology in men, and increasing the libido of both sexes.

Autism Treatment and Nutraceutical
Medication:
Some psychiatric medication can be used in autistic children; however, long term usage may cause serious side effects. Thus the use of medications are recommended on an as needed basis only.
Gluten-free casein-free diet (GFCF diet):
Many autistic children demonstrate great improvement on a GFCF diet. Since milk contains casein, and wheat, oat, rye, and barley contain gluten, children should avoid consuming these items. Some autistic children should avoid eggs, peanuts, nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and other common allergens.
Feingold Diet:
Eliminates a number of artificial colors, flavors, and compounds (i.e. Monosodium Glutamate {MSG}, aspartame, nutrasweet, petroleum-based preservatives, and certain salicylates).
Low Phenol Diet:
Phenol intolerance has a proven impact on ADD/ADHD and autism severity.
Low Salicylate Diet:
Most autism patients have metabolism problems. Consuming foods or medications containing salicylates (e.g. Aspirin) can worsen autistic symptoms.
Low Oxalate Diet:
Many autistic children accumulate oxalate in the body, causing anxiety, coordination dysfunction, insomnia, and behavioral problems.
Probiotic (good bacteria):
Supplementing the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with good bacteria can help inhibit bad bacteria and yeast invading the intestine. Toxins secreted by these bad microorganisms can cause or worsen autistic symptoms.
Nutraceutical supplementation:
Research showed that a deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals can cause or worsen autistic symptoms such as: Vitamin B6, B12, C, magnesium, zinc, and folic acid.
Heavy metal detoxification:
Heavy metal can cause or worsen autistic symptoms. Detoxification of the liver and the GI tract can improve the situation. |

Probiotic
Probiotics , primarily bacteria are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. Most common: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium longum, Streptococcus thermophilus.
Pathogenic Bacteria
When bad bacterial growth in the gastrointestinal tract overwhelms good bacteria the unbalance in the flora and fauna of the gut can led to sickness. Common examples of bad bacteria include:
Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella (more than 2300 strains).
Neutral Bacteria
Streptococcus faecalis, Enterococcus, Bacterooides fragilis, Strep tococcus anaerobius, yeast, fungi, Aspergillus oryzae.
Prebiotics: nutrients for probiotic
Oligosaccharides/Inulin:
Sources from beans, root vegetables, whole grains, algae, fruit and vegetables, mushrooms, and honey.
Dietary fiber:
Sources from grains, fruit and vegetables, beans, mushrooms, shrimp and crab shells, pectin, fucoidan, and inulin. |

The flu season
When seasons change, there are upticks in allergies, cold and flu. The flu season in the U.S. can begin as early as October, and gets into full swing in December. Older people, young children, and those with certain health conditions such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, are at high risk for serious flu complications.
Here are some nutritional tips to help you fight the flu:
Omega-3 fatty acids: Help to reduce harmful inflammation in the body caused by flu and cold.
Zinc: A comprehensive research review concluded that taking zinc appears to shorten the duration of flu and cold symptoms in adults.
Garlic: Garlic packs the most potent antioxidant (allicin) when eaten raw. A study indicates people who took garlic supplements for 12 weeks between November and February got fewer colds and recovered more quickly than those who took a placebo.
Probiotics: Eating probiotics provides a means to replenish beneficial strains of bacteria which promote digestive health. In addition, research revealed that consuming probiotics lowers the risk of upper respiratory tract infection better than a placebo.
Mushroom: Mushrooms contain certain forms of immune-boosting antioxidants such as beta glucan which helps white blood cells produce cytokines that help recovery from sickness and destroy infection.

Tips on how to choose the best iron supplement from the many choices available in the marketplace.
- Ferric is better than Ferrous: There are two common types: ferrous sulfide and ferric phosphate, ferrous is better absorbed in human body, but ferrous is easily oxidized into ferric and create free radicals, just like iron metal get rusty when exposed to air and cause cells aging. On the other hand, when ferric reduced into ferrous, it won’t create free radical and it’s safer.
- Combining iron with vitamin C and antioxidants aids iron absorption and utilization. Vitamin C can transform Ferric to the Ferrous form providing better and increased absorption.
- Proper dosage:
People taking iron supplementation often experience black stool, constipation, nausea primarily due to the high dosage of ferrous sulfide. The daily recommendation for males of 10 mg of iron for men and 15 mg for women, differs because of the additional iron demands because of the female menstrual cycle. It is important to choose the right dosage and form of iron supplement for best results.

NH NutraRich Drink
Since modern diets typically contain highly processed “what can scarcely be called food” chemical blends, the body functions in starvation mode. Despite the possibility of receiving adequate calories hunger pangs can be constant and even occur during periods of weight gain. This strange phenomenon actually makes perfect sense when recognizing that the daily diets of millions regularly lack not just vitamins and minerals, enzymes, co-enzymes, and other micro-nutrients but especially often in the case of vegetarians adequate protein intake for optimal functioning of the immune, neural, and skeletal systems just to name a few. Scientists also found that diets deficient in vitamins and minerals can induce DNA damage, cancer formation, and accelerate the aging process, resulting in premature aging.
Scientific study showed, when the human body lacks vitamins and minerals, the following situations can occur:
• Weakened immune system
• Damaged DNA (e.g. radiation) which can lead to the proliferation of cancer
• Pausing of normal metabolism
• Damage to mitochondria (the energy generator of the cells)
• Brain cell death (dementia and Alzheimers related)
• Accelerates the rate of aging
• Causes various other types of damage to human body cells
NH NutraRich Drink
Contains 12 vitamins (Vitamins A, C, D, E, and B complex), minerals (calcium, iron, phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum) in addition to inositol, choline, and lecithin for fast nutrient replenishment by quickly and effectively supplementing the nutrients missing in the modern diet. |

Multi-antioxidant ( antioxidants & enzyme type antioxidants )
Inflammation and free radicals are usually the reasons for most disease conditions, research showed that antioxidants from diet can clear free radicals, help prevent and improve disease conditions. In addition, research also found that, supplementing SOD and α- Lipic Acid can effectivly relife chronic nack pain and back pain, and with better result than physical therapy, and sustain the effectiveness longer. Antioxidants can be classified as nutrient type, such as β- caroteinoids, Co Enzyme Q10, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, iron, magnesium, zinc, plant polyphenol etc; and enzyme type, such as Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and Catalase. Because there are many different types of free radicals, it is critical to supplement a variety of antioxidants for complete protection.

Managing Diabetes
Prevention and Treatment for DM using Nutraceutical:
- Maintain a balanced, daily diet and avoid excess sugar and fat intake.
- An intake of barley grass + chlorophyll + oat grass + green algae and other alkaline nutrients containing rich dietary fiber, can lower the rate of increased blood sugar after meals and help to control blood sugar levels.
- Chromium yeast + bitter melon extract + evening primrose oil can promote blood sugar utilization, and lower and stabilize blood sugar and lipids.
- Natural antioxidants (ex. vitamins C+E, etc.), can lower patient oxidation stress, protect cells and prevent chronic complications.
- Vitamin B complex (biotin + niacin), serves to maintain nerve system health, skin function, promotes cell metabolism, and helps to reduce high blood sugar.
- Ginkgo extract can promote peripheral, blood circulation, strengthen the retina and renal tubule, improve cardiovascular function, and prevent complications.
- Fish oil and garlic extracts can lower blood lipid levels, and are used to prevent and treat arterial and peripheral blood vessel disease.
Besides nutraceutial supplementation, regular physical activity 3 times per week consisting of at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (such as swimming, jogging, and running), can also help to control weight and maintain blood sugar. DM patients need to remember that daily, blood sugar monitoring remains one of the best ways to maintain their health. |
