FLAX plus FIBER

Low back and leg pain are often accompanied by constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. Forceful bowel movements can aggravate or cause fissures, hemorrhoids, and pain due to increased intradiscal pressure. Also, many patients with irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, fissures, hemorrhoids, or diarrhea are greatly relieved by the sedation of aloe vera, peppermint, and flax seed fiber added to the stool. It also is synergistic with lactobacillus acidophilus in implanting the colon flora. Each serving provides: flax seed powder 450 mg, psyllium husks powder 150 mg, peppermint oil 10% extract 50 mg, senna leaves concentrate 50 mg, aloe vera leaves powder 50 mg, oat bran 50 mg, cascara sagrada powder 50 mg.

Dosage: 1 - 3 capsules per day -- Quantity: 120 capsules per bottle.

Formula #2 Phosphorous-Free Calcium

All American diets are deficient in calcium intake unless supplemented. The average intake is less than 75% of the more than 1,000 mg a day needed. 50% loss of bone mass occurs in a lifetime, so one should build and/or maintain as much as possible. One of three women will develop a hip fracture in elder life. Women’s mortality rates from osteoporotic fractures are greater than the combined mortality rates from cancers of the breast and ovaries. Men lose bone mass at half the rate of women, so they must be concerned with calcium intake as well. Formula #2 contains hydrochloric acid to aid digestion of the calcium and provides calcium citrate, the most easily absorbed calcium known. Vitamin D3 is essential for the symbiotic absorption of calcium. Each serving, in a base of lfalfa concentrate, lecithin, rose hips and soy protein, provides: Vitamin C 15 mg, Vitamin D3 100 IU, Vitamin E 3.75 IU, Calcium Citrate 200 mg, Magnesium 62.5 mg, Copper 0.25 mg, Manganese 1.25 mg, Glutamic Acid HCl 81.25 mg.

Disc & Joint Pain Relief Complex (a natural pain reliever)

In response to a patient need for natural pain reliever, I collaborated with a laboratory to review natural pain killers that could be combined for relieving joint pain. This pain includes spinal, extremity, and radicular pain. In response, they developed this formula. Patients find relief for peripheral and spinal degenerative disease. Radiculopathy patients are typically on NSAIDs, COX inhibitors, and even mild narcotic drugs. However, the use of this natural pain relieving formula may assist and reduce the need for more powerful drugs. At this stage, it is a clinical decision in the use of natural pain relievers with the awareness of the less toxic effects of the natural pain relievers over customary drug use. Each serving provides the following natural pain relieving agents: ginger root 5% extract 200 mg, curcumin 100 mg, white willow bark 100 mg, boswellia serrata extract 100 mg, quercetin 100 mg, devil’s claw powder 50 mg, valarian root 0.8% extract 50 mg, passion flower 4:1 extract 50 mg.

Dosage: 2 capsules every 6 hours, as needed OR per doctor instruction. -- Quantity: 60 capsules per bottle.
