What You Must Know About CBD Oil and the Endocannabinoid system

Big buzz words lately are CBD oil and the endocannabinoid system but people don’t understand why CBD is a necessary supplement for everybody from infants to geriatrics. There is even CBD in breast milk when a baby is feeding. I bet you never knew that. But just like every other vitamin, mineral and nutrient the body needs, there is not enough in our foods or drinks.

This is where the CBD supplement industry has taken off to take advantage of research being found the last several years. The problem is over 99% of the CBD products on the market or CBD oils and isolates. Before you buy another

CBD and the endocannabinoid system health benefits — There are many benefits of CBD to the endocannabinoid system

CBD oil supplement and put it in your body, you have to know why CBD oils are bad for you.

In previous emails I have introduced you to a colleague of mine, Dr. Tim Harrigan, who has been doing functional medicine (supplementation) with patients for over 15 years. I have been working with him for 2.5 years and have brought into our practice many of his formulas and protocols. He has provided many webinars on different topics and this past week he did one on CBD and he discusses:
* Why you should never use cbd oil!!!!
* Why everyone needs CBD and the Endocannabinoid system
* Benefits of CBD
* The difference of Whole Flower, Full Spectrum, Energized CBD Fluid
And much more! To watch click the picture below:

Wow… Dr Tim really covers a lot of info in that 30 minute video. If you are interested in CBD, and would like to get the lowest cost per dose, highest bioavailable, full spectrum, full flower, Energized cbd fluid spray click here

Stop using CBD oil because it can be causing your liver enzymes to rise and provides very low benefit since you only absorb 5 to 15% and throwing away over 85% of your money. Same goes with CBD gummies… they are also oil based and a very poor source of CBD.

If you would like to learn more about the endocannabinoid system, CBD oil vs CBD fluid and the benefits, I cover it in one chapter of my book, you can get on Amazon by clicking the title: The Next Health Revolution – A Natural Path to Revive Your Health and Maximize Wellness or I have copies in our office you can pick up at your next visit. I cover the most important topics to help you take back your health from weight loss, nutritional cleansing, gut health, what you need to know about vitamins and other supplements, collagen, enzymes, adrenal health and the most important system in your body that controls all functions and how to optimize it.

Link Between Digestive and Mental Health

Gut health is key to optimizing overall health and almost every single person has poor gut function. My colleague and friend, Tylene Loomer posted the other day:
“The Link Between Digestive and Mental Health:
Did you know….
Scientists have only recently discovered what’s being labeled as our “second brain”? It’s known as the enteric nervous system (ENS) and it plays a strong role in the following areas:

Digestion
Health
Mood
Thought patterns

Yes! Scientists have found an area in our gut responsible for aspects of our brain. And it’s unanimously agreed that good nutrition strongly affects our ENS.

CBD is a huge topic the last couple of years and it has many benefits to your health from pain reduction, mental health, anxiety relief, improves sleep, helps your immune, endocrine and nervous systems.

CBD is a key to improve gut and mental health — CBD helps improve gut and mental health

So, what does CBD have to do with gut health and mental health?
Well, if CBD can have a positive impact on areas of our gut (such as our microbiome and ENS), then it has the potential to treat both physical and psychological health.”

We have the most complete gut health supplement and CBD fluid. Our gut health formula is a fermented whole food, plant based, full spectrum digestive enzymes with stabilized probiotics. If you missed my recent video showing how much more powerful our formula is than anything on the market and ones you are using, you have to watch this:

Most CBD products are oils. You have to be very careful using CBD oil as they can cause your liver enzymes to increase. Also, CBD oil only absorbs 5 to 15%. We have the ONLY 100% whole flower, full spectrum CBD fluid, metered spray that absorbs over 90%. That means you will get more benefits and better cost per dose. If you use CBD oils you not only risk your liver health but you are throwing away 85% to 95% of your money.

Digestive and mental health can be improved with the introduction of these digestive enzymes and CBD formulas.

If you are interested in our digestive enzymes or CBD products you can email me or go to my website and hover over services to find out more info and order.

If you are all about living a healthy, passionate, prosperous life, everyday of your life, for 100 years and beyond, check out this article: The 100 Year Lifestyle Way, Chiropractic Care and You!
It discusses many of the aspects of health that I share with patients.

How you age is largely dependent on the lifestyle choices you are making right now. Getting older doesn’t have to mean aging along the way. Read, What’s Age Got to Do With it?

Tips To Buy Quality Supplements

These are tips you must know before wasting more money on supplements, vitamins, minerals or enzymes. You want to make sure you are buying quality supplements that provide the benefits listed! Many of you are wasting money on supplements that are more likely damaging your health rather than improving it.

In this short health tip of the week video, I discuss what you must know before buying another vitamin, mineral, enzyme or CBD oil supplement

I had a patient that was suffering with fibromyalgia, colitis and infertility. I kept warning her about her multivitamin but she kept saying, “It’s a lot cheaper than your supplements.”

Those cheap, toxic vitamins caused her health problems for 10 years and difficulty getting pregnant for 5 years. After a fall on ice, she got x-rays that showed multiple supplement pills stuck in her intestines. You get what you pay for and you cannot put a price on your health. I find it crazy, most people consume so much garbage without questioning the cost but when it comes to health they cut costs.

One of the quality supplements I recommend are fermented plant based, whole food enzymes — Fermented, Whole Food, Plant Based Digestive Enzymes are one of our many quality supplements we recommend

Before recommending any product, I try it myself. I practice what a preach. The current line of products I work with were recommended by a colleague of mine in Arizona. Dr. Tim practices functional medicine which is a natural practice of plant based, natural supplements to help correct a patient’s imbalances. His friends have been formulating products for the last 20 years. I started using these for myself and couldn’t believe the difference from what I have previously used. I then put my mother on some of them and we saw changes. I then started recommending them to patients and we have seen amazing improvements in health over the last 2 years.

If you would like world class, quality supplements and to find out about our line of whole food, plant based formulas, contact me. I have seen nothing like these fermented digestive enzymes, Proteolytic enzymes, multivitamins, Emulin for carbohydrate management, adrenal support and the only 100% whole flower, full spectrum, CBD FLUID (not oil which can damage your liver).

CBD Oil – Why You Should Reconsider Before Using the Next Drop!

CBD oil is the craze nowadays. Every day I get asked by patients and online about CBD. I have been doing a lot of research on CBD and the majority of the products out there are extremely low quality and can even risk your health. A couple of points to consider if you are looking at buying some CBD or if you currently are using it:

Most products are produced from industrial hemp. So a quick question, would you rather buy a GMO or an organic orange? They look the same but the GMO has no phytonutrients, is empty nutrition and it’s cheap to

CBD Fluid is the better Option to CBD Oil

acquire so of course many companies think it’s great to use. A person I know told me his CBD company used natural organic hemp and showed me the label. Right on the front it says organic CBD but if you read the back label it clearly stated from industrial hemp.
Most CBD products are isolates meaning they are highly processed removing many essential cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids and compounds that provide the medicinal benefits. Since these products lack these essential elements, they require you to you to take higher dosages. Many times 10 to 20 drops per dosage.
Many CBD products are derived from oil. Since our bodies are mostly made of water, this makes it difficult for the oils to absorb. We have a far easier time absorbing water-compatible CBD instead of oil-based CBD. If you use CBD oil or any oil product, put a drop in a glass of water and see what happens: it will just sit on the water. This process makes it more difficult for the body to metabolize and puts strain on your liver and other organs. Studies show you are lucky if 10% of your CBD oil is bioavailable, meaning absorbed by the body. You are getting minimal benefits from CBD oil. You have to watch out for marketing tactics of these CBD companies too! Another friend told me that her CBD oil uses a patented, advanced liposomal delivery. This is just a marketing tactic to make you think it’s going to help you absorb it better.
Are there any chemicals used in the extraction process? Most companies use some form of heat, CO2, or other chemical based extraction process to produce an “oil”. These chemicals can result in health problems.

A colleague of mine introduced me to the 100% natural & 0% additives, whole flower, water compatible (around 90% bioavailable) CBD that preserves the full medicinal profile of essential cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids and compounds of the plant. A patented exclusive process that produces a fluid, not an oil, and is chemical free! Due to its purity, one only needs 1 to 2 drops per dosage. I switched from CBD oil to CBD Fluid. I couldn’t believe the difference in not only results but you can actually taste the difference!

When I recommend a product to patients, I always make sure it’s something I would use for my health. I want to make sure you are getting the best CBD possible that is natural, providing the most benefit and NOT Toxic. For more information or to order click: CBD FLUID

5 Amazing Benefits of CBD But Don’t Waste Another Penny Buying CBD Oil!

CBD is all over the news. It’s in many stores, gas stations, spas and doctor’s offices. There are so many amazing benefits of CBD but most of these products are CBD oils that you are wasting your money on. There are many facts you need to know before purchasing any!

I started using CBD oils and salves around a year ago but I really didn’t understand what was behind the purpose of CBD. Thankfully I was following a colleague, Dr. Tim Harrigan, on facebook and after reading one of his posts I reached out to him. Now we want to share with you some important information about the benefits of CBD we covered in our most recent Facebook Live that was recorded:

If you are looking for the full benefits of CBD, stop spending money on CBD oil based products. Dr. Tim went over

The Entourage Effect of CBD — Too many products remove beneficial elements of the plant

many facts about the processing of CBD oils, the milligram dosage lie, how poorly CBD oils absorb and that CBD is about improving overall health, not just to take for symptoms. Why receive only 6 to 10% absorption which limits benefits? Most products out there are isolates that have many of the beneficial medicinal properties removed. These different nutrients of the plant have an entourage effect that optimize the benefits.

We offer our patients 100% whole flower, organic, truly full spectrum CBD FLUID to provide the total health benefits of the plant. This increases absorption significantly to up to 90% absorption. You get better quality, better results with lower cost per dose. You can check out and purchase our CBD fluid products by clicking the following link: CBD Fluid NOT OIL!
