Dear Colleagues
I hope you are well and enjoying the summer. We completed our paper on “food toxins”. Part one appeared in the July newsletter. Part two is a patient survey seeing how prevalent these conditions are and comparing our old method of testing the food itself to our new method (via testing bioactive substances within the food). We find this new method can increase findings 100-500%. We also see the alleviation of the many of the patient’s chronic complaints if they comply with the program.
Part 2 is approximately 10 pages long and contains graphs that make it impossible to send it out via email with our present program. It also would be a lot more expensive and work intensive to send it via snail mail. We are thus providing the link to the paper which appears on our website. This link is to the whole paper. Once on it you can click on part 2 if you do not want to reread the first part. We really encourage you to read it.

Besides the paper there is only a little to report.
1. We hope to soon have an updated DVD of all our techniques including all our food toxin testing techniques. We will keep you posted as to its availability.
2. Supreme Nutrition may be out of stock of EndoSupreme soon as they have not found any raw materials that meet our testing standards for this product. They are actively searching so hopefully it won’t be too long that it will be unavailable. Unless a new batch of raw materials passes our AK tests to make sure it is as effective as the last batch, it is rejected. This assures quality is maintained but can lead to unavailablilty at times. Considering this is the first time in 3 years, they have done remarkably well.
There is some therapeutic overlap with Ashwaganda and LuRong Supreme if you need an endocrine balancer/restorer.
3. Thera Supreme is going through a slight change of ingredients. Six of the seven ingredients are staying the same. Acerola is being replaced by Pomegranate. They could not find an acerola that passed our tests and since acerola is mainly known for it’s vitamin C content and they now have Camu Supreme which has a much higher C content, we felt it would be OK to change that ingredient. We investigated pomegranate, starfruit, mangosteen and tamarind and only pomegranate (there is lots of great research on it) passed our testing and I feel it will improve an already great product. It will still be the product of choice for solanine toxicity syndrome.
4. Testimonial from Jacob Bastomski DC
Hi Michael: I will be ordering the Camu and some additional food toxin vials. What you are saying about the toxins makes sense. One of the things I love about testing things with your approach is that it is quite reproducible, at least to me during the same session. On the other hand, when I ask the folks who use some computer generated allergy tests what will happen if after the test the same patient is then retested, will the computer show the same result, unfortunately I am told no, that the field has been disturbed and new results will now show up. I do not really like that answer.
5. Testimonial from Steve Gangemi DC
Hi Michael, hope you are well. Sorry I did not get a chance to say hello and finally meet you at the AK meeting last month...I think I kept on missing you and I missed your talk on Thurs since I didn't get in until late - but I read your papers and they were excellent. I wanted to tell you I think your products (Supreme Nutrition) are unbelievable. I really haven't used much of them in the past - Wally mentioned a few like the Takesumi to me but I really never understood them. I have actually now been encouraging him to check more of your products! - especially the Ashwaganda Supreme. He and I stopped testing ashwaganda (from companies like Weed and MediHerb) because they NEVER test - so after a while you say "why bother". But your ashwaganda tests on adrenal issues about 75% of the time. I am amazed. Camu Supreme is great. Thera Supreme too (unfortunately it gives me an open ICV so I can't take it but the rest of my family does). Thanks again
SALE
Because I anticipate putting out a new DVD within a month or two, we will be discounting our 2009 seminar DVD from $250 to $200. The 2009 class, taught with Dr. Jay Wilson is a stronger program academically with all the latest research on dysbiosis, metals, foods, lab tests, etc. The 2010 will be taught solely by myself and will have more practical technique and more details on proper supplementation, and the whole food toxin protocol. It will also be $200 as our production costs will be lower, filming here at our clinic. Both can be ordered on our website or by sending a check to the address on the newsletter.
