“Out with the Old and In with the New and Newly Improved!”

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Enhancing the slogan, “Make Catherine’s Choice your Choice for Better Health,” we now have a new product and have improved the formulas for two other products to make them more effective. When you order one of these products you will automatically receive the new version. If for any reason you do not agree, we will cheerfully refund your money in accordance with our satisfied customer guarantee, but we have no concern that you will not be delighted with the improvements.

One product has not only been reformulated for improved function but also renamed for logical consistency. Since ladies never have any need for ProstAide, it seemed a bit ridiculous to call that product “Catherine’s Choice.” Why not call it by my name, especially since I do use the product and have for years. It has always made a difference in my health, fulfilling every claim ever made for it.  If I stopped using it, the need quickly became apparent.  In actual effect, my prostate has functioned as that of a much younger man in every day living and has tested as if younger in every complete physical examination. (I have a complete physical every year and sometimes an extra partial examination.)

“Well, why change it then,” you might ask, “if you were so satisfied with it yourself?”

Because bio-chemical research had found a way to make an even more effective formula, and it had been market tested before we would even consider the change.  There is quadrupled Saw Palmetto and tripled beta-sitosterol!  African Pygeum and Urtica Dioica have been retained, while the diuretic Uva Ursi, smooth muscle control Cernitin 63 Swedish flower pollen extract, medium chain triglycerides and prostate concentrate have been added.

Thus the newly named and reformulated “Warren’s Choice ProstAide HP” makes its debut and we are confident you will be pleased with the improvement.

(I am told that “HP” means “Healthy Prostate.” OK, but it could also mean “High Potency,” which is also true.)

Now let’s consider the other improved product, Catherine’s Choice Advanced Memory Formula.

Aging has its problems, even for me, the “Young Octogenarian!”  One of the most important, I believe, is the loss of good eyesight. Yes, we have a great product to alleviate or eliminate this problem, but for me personally, my visual field was seriously damaged years ago by glaucoma, and it is too late for nutritional recovery. I take Catherine’s Choice New Eyes anyway to avoid further loss, and it helps (especially with macular degeneration).  But what I want to tell you about now is the improvement we have made to another product that helps avoid problems of aging, which can start in your thirties!

Were you ever doing something in the kitchen and needed, say, a flashlight that you knew was in the bedroom, went back to get it and then could not remember why you were in the bedroom?  Or perhaps you were in conversation with someone and knew precisely the right word you wanted but could not think of it? How about names and faces – any problems of recollection?  I think most of us have such problems (“Where are my keys?”  “I can’t find my other glasses, the ones I need for the computer.”   “I left my sweater somewhere and can’t remember where.”)

Sometimes some aspects of memory loss can be humorous, but it can also be serious – very serious.  We have marketed Catherine’s Choice Memory Formula for several years, and it has been very helpful to many, including yours truly.  Ongoing research has shown several ways to enhance the effectiveness of this product, and we are happy to do just that.

The new Catherine’s Choice Advanced Memory Formula is a great step forward in the fight against memory loss.  The most important needs of the brain are oxygen and either glucose or ketones as fuel. Since these are supplied by the blood, the flow of blood must be unrestricted.  We may address this further in a subsequent blog. But there are other very important ingredients that can greatly enhance the functioning of the brain, improving not only the memory but also every other function of this most remarkable organ.

To the original effective formula we have added N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine and PABA to enhance the activity of DMAE in producing acetylcholine to transmit nerve signals and to help in enhancing blood flow.  Vinpocetine steps up ATP production, which provides the needed energy. Bioperine helps the body absorb and use the other ingredients more efficiently.  The important Phosphatidyl Serine helps the nerve cells communicate with each other.  This is not a new ingredient, but the amount of PS has been more than tripled, greatly increasing its effectiveness.

Finally, the new product is going to be a lifesaver for some folks with special needs and a benefit to all who use it. It is Catherine’s Choice CardiaMax – it’s a blend of powerful herbs that work together in five ways to keep your entire cardiovascular system healthy and strong.

Catherine’s Choice CardiaMax supports healthy cholesterol levels. This includes the levels of LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.  It helps keep your blood pressure in the proper range, neither too high nor too low. It strengthens the walls of your blood vessels. It helps fend off free radicals. Finally, it helps keep your heart beating steadily and with strength.

These attributes can do a lot to help fend off the great risk posed by heart disease, which kills more people than all forms of cancer combined!  This risk is greatest for those with a family history of heart disease, for men, for older folk, for diabetics, for those who are overweight, inactive, highly stressed, who have high blood pressure or cholesterol, or who have hidden inflammation lurking somewhere.

(Don’t forget that Catherine’s Choice Aloe Vera is a potent anti-inflammatory that can clear up many cases of hidden inflammation alone or along with CardiaMax.)

At a local restaurant that features all you want of many tasty foods – really an incredible menu – the booths are often filled with people who look as though they should quit eating altogether for a while. When I say the booths are filled, that may be only one person on each side of the table. I am referring to grossly obese people not one of whom could be healthy. It is sad, for these are compulsive eaters, many of whom can hardly walk. They are courting death and do not appear to care, although that is probably only appearance. They need serious, professional help. I am afraid they are beyond the help I offer here.

But for the vast majority of people at high risk who have the characteristics or the problems mentioned before,  CardiaMax may well be the heretofore missing solution you need to get back on the path to good health. That is especially true if you take Catherine’s Choice Aloe Vera in liquid or capsule form along with CardiaMax!

CardiaMax helps support a healthy balance of all three blood lipids, HDL, LDL and triglycerides with an extract of Indian gooseberry.  The phenolic compounds in Indian gooseberry fruit have been clinically shown to help boost HDL (“good” cholesterol) while keeping LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides within the healthy range. Also moving into the healthy range are markers of inflammation like C-reactive protein.

CardiaMax also contains Black Tea extract, which has the aflavins that protect blood vessels and indeed all cells of the body against free radicals.  Beside Black Tea, CardiaMax has Mukta Vati, a blend of Ayurvedic herbs that work together to ease the effects of stress, to enhance blood flow, to fight inflammation, and to help your body overcome underlying issues that may be causing your blood pressure to rise.

Another ingredient of CardiaMax is Bilberry, an herb that keeps blood flowing freely through all arteries, including the ones that nourish the heart.  Hawthorn, an herb that helps the heart use oxygen more efficiently, is included to boost the strength of heart contractions for more forceful blood flow.

No other organ in your body burns more energy than your heart. Catherine’s Choice CardiaMax helps insure it receives the nourishment it needs. Simultaneously, the gentle, natural herbs in CardiaMax are working to protect your heart muscle and help it deliver vital nutrients to all organs in your body, especially the oxygen-hungry organs like your eyes, your nervous system and your brain.

Customers already using Catherine’s Choice Aloe Chelation can do even more for circulatory health by adding Catherine’s Choice CardiaMax to their daily regimen.  While Aloe Chelation is working to eliminate toxins and heavy metal buildups, CardiaMax is helping to modulate blood lipids, keep blood vessels open so blood can flow freely, and keep your heart pumping strong.

Are you 40 years old or more? The age of 40 is generally considered to be the beginning of aging and its accompanying deterioration.  There are now and have been for some time very serious studies going on as to the prevention of that deterioration.  We all love the positive attributes of youth and want to retain all of them as long as we can, and some scientists now believe we can prolong physical youthfulness indefinitely! Catherine’s Choice products definitely can help. (Of course I am biased, but I have seen for almost 30 years what they can do! You should see the testimonials happy, grateful users send to us.)

Some people believe the negative aspects of aging are inevitable and can not be avoided.  I do not agree.  While it is known to God when we are to die, and in what condition, it is clear that we can shorten our allotted life span by an unhealthy life style,  use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, exposing ourselves to danger, and of course, suicide.  Stress of all kinds shortens life span and can be decreased or avoided.

Now, if we can shorten our allotted life span, why can we not lengthen it by taking reasonable care to avoid danger as much as possible, by learning to reduce stress, by eating and drinking healthily, by getting proper rest and exercise? A positive, happy attitude with plenty of laughter and love are tremendous assets and can be cultivated.  Be helpful to others and thankful to God for the tremendous blessings we enjoy (try counting them).

Getting back to Catherine’s Choice Aloe Chelation and Catherine’s Choice CardiaMax, it is obvious that taking either supplement is good, taking both is even better for your heart, your arteries, your brain, and your entire body.  It’s all part of making Catherine’s Choice your choice for better health!

Warren,

Your Young Octogenarian

April is Cancer Control Month

By Monica Morales

Here’s the latest dietary news about cancer prevention.

The 100th meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research emphasized the role of diet to reduce cancer risk. New research indicates that people should follow this advice.

Eat more fruits and vegetables. A study of 452,755 people in Europe showed a strong link to reducing colon cancer risk by 24 percent.

Avoid burned meat. Cancer-causing compounds are formed when meat is cooked and charred at a high temperature. A preference for extremely browned meat increased the risk of pancreatic cancer by 60 percent. The study included 62,581 subjects who gave details on their cooking preferences. The pancreatic cancer is often rapidly fatal.

A second European study showed that high intake of very browned meat increased the risk of colorectal cancer, but marinating meat in beer or wine before cooking reduces the formation of cancer-causing compounds.

Choose foods that are high in flavonoids. Scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have found that flavonoids, antioxidants that occur naturally in plants, help protect cells against damage. Apigenin, a flavonoid found in foods including tomato sauce, celery, parsley and red wine, helps protect women against ovarian cancer.

Be sure to include broccoli sprouts. Fresh broccoli sprouts have a high concentration of sulforaphane-a, much higher than mature broccoli. Sulforaphane is a potent antibiotic that fights Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria known to cause gastritis, ulcers and possibly stomach cancer. Eating just 2.5 ounces a day for eight weeks showed a marked reduction in the bacteria.

Part-time Smokers Need a New Strategy to Quit

By: Jackie Del’ Herbe

Because smoking isn’t allowed in many workplaces, bars and restaurants, and often people don’t allow it in their homes, many smokers have quit, or almost quit. The high price of cigarettes is another factor.

But some quitters still light up on occasion. They do it for emotional reasons, anger management or because they are feeling depressed or anxious. A Harvard Medical School study shows that 44 percent of smokers suffer from symptoms including depression, anxiety or both.

Some quitters smoke only in social situations where others are smoking, or they reward themselves when they want to unwind. Others smoke instead of snacking so they can be thin. And still others claim to have quit, but hide their smoking from family and friends.

The health risks are still huge. Just three cigarettes a day can increase the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke.

There are plenty of tips on how to quit, but learning to live without cigarettes can be harder than quitting itself, say the experts.

That’s why the more you can understand your own behavior and find other means of coping, the more successful you’ll be in the long run.
