Q: I am more than 20 pounds overweight and I’ve done every diet on the planet. I can lose weight, but I cannot keep it off. Help!
A: When metabolism and the related hormones, most specifically leptin, but also cortisol, insulin, and thyroid hormones, have had to go through the dieting roller coaster, it is absolutely imperative to provide proper nutrients for the body. Without proper nutrient support, it is virtually impossible to stabilize difficult weight management issues. The Leptin Control Pack® is the most comprehensive way to support weight management issues. It has been specifically designed to target each of the problematic areas of weight management including the hormone resistance issues with leptin, thyroid, insulin, and cortisol resistance. Additional nutrients have been included to help with the fluid retention frequently associated with obesity. The Leptin Control Pack® contains Leptinal®, LeptiSlim®, Stress Helper™, Thyroid Helper®, Pine Nut Oil, Cinnamon Plus™ and Mangosteen Plus™. These products are also available for purchase separately. Following the Five Rules (discussed in The Leptin Diet and Mastering Leptin) is also essential to getting the leptin hormone back on track. This will greatly influence metabolism towards burning extra fat stores.

Q: I am currently using a thyroid medication. Can I take Thyroid Helper®?
A: Yes you may take Thyroid Helper® along with your thyroid medication as it will simply help the medication work better within the tissues. Thyroid Helper® is not replacement thyroid hormone, rather it provides nutrients that improves the conversion of inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to active thyroid hormone (T3), along with improving the transport and absorption of activated thyroid hormone into cell tissues to turn on metabolism. Each of these mechanisms requires proper nourishment in order to adequately function. Thyroid Helper® provides that nourishment. You may view more information about Thyroid and Metabolism here.

Q: I get sinus infections every fall and spring. Antibiotics make things temporarily better but it always comes back. Are there alternatives?
A: Sinus infections are 90% of the time fungal infections. Antibiotics will not solve the problem and frequently contribute to repeated sinus infections. Great combinations of nutrients to support the sinuses include Oregano Oil and Immune Plus™. Additional support for sinus infections may be Shark Liver Oil, Monolaurin and Super Immune Booster™.

Q: How does using nutrients that help kill germs differ from using prescription antibiotics or antivirals? If I take nutrients that are natural germ killers, will they disrupt the normal bacteria in the gut like antibiotics?
A: Using nutritional supplements to fortify the immune system or nutrients that are germicidal are not toxic to the human body. Many adverse effects and side effect occur with prescription medications, while nutritional products are much easier on the body thereby allowing even young children, the immuno-compromised and elderly to use the products. Natural products do not create the same adverse effects on the gastro-intestinal tract as antibiotics do. If a person is on long-term natural germicidals, they may want to supplement with Super Dophilus™ to decrease the chance of GI tract disruption.
