No More Foot or Back Pain!  Doctor's Mission to Cure His Own Pain Leads to Remarkable Discovery That is Helping Relieve Back, Leg and Foot Pain... Without Any Pills. Did You Know... ... that there is a little-known, "forgotten" vitamin that effectively supports bone growth ... maintains healthy bone mass ... boosts memory ... enhances heart health ... and even prevents premature aging?      The almost "forgotten" vitamin K is stepping up the ranks and joining vitamin D3, calcium and magnesium as one of the most important vitamins for bone and heart health.  While some countries, such as India, have long recognized its importance—and even regulate its intake—the Western world has ignored this vital nutrient for decades.       Emerging research calls for renewed attention to this vitamin, which helps to...      That's quite an impressive list of powerful benefits for a vitamin that was previously considered unimportant!      Unfortunately, 99% of the population may be deficient in this essential nutrient.  Because this vitamin is fat-soluble, it requires sufficient fat intake in order to be absorbed.  If you eat a restricted diet or a diet low in fat, you are at increased risk for deficiency.  You may also be deficient if you...      Have Crohn's, ulcerative, colitis or celiac disease.      Have a liver condition that may interfere with nutrient absorption.      Take certain medications, such as antibiotics, cholesterol drugs,            or even aspirin, all of which inhibit vitamin absorption.      Currently, there is no test that can accurately measure deficiency in this vitamin.  Blood tests remain inconclusive, as you may show appropriate levels of the vitamin in your blood, but still be deficient in your bones.      Vitamin K is obtained by the body mainly through dark leafy vegetables and greens, such as lettuce, broccoli and spinach.  But even if your diet includes the consumption of an ample amount of greens, don't think you couldn't possibly be deficient.  Our bodies typically only absorb 10-15% of the vitamin, and only one form of vitamin K at that! Which Vitamin K is the Best—and Which Should You Avoid? There are 3 types of Vitamin K, as follows:      Vitamin K1—phylloquinone, also known as phytonadione Vitamin K1 makes up 90% of the vitamin K found in the Western diet.  Vitamin K1 is a necessary and important contributor to bone growth and overall bone health, but there is an even more potent form of vitamin K...      Vitamin K2—menaquinone Vitamin K2 is a highly potent, natural form of vitamin K that is produced in the body, but unfortunately lacking in the American diet.  Ongoing research confirms vitamin K2's profound effects on the skeletal system, brain, liver and pancreas.      Vitamin K3—menadione synthetic variant This synthetic form of vitamin K is NOT for human consumption.  It offers no benefits and comes with possibly risky side effects.  Unfortunately, many vitamin manufacturers offer vitamin K3 as a supplement, so it is advisable to steer clear of these supplements! Vitamin K2's Role in Bone Health Vitamin K2 plays an influential role in bone growth and bone metabolism.  It has a significant effect on osteoblasts, which are the cells that form our bones.  Osteoblasts produce a protein called osteocalcin.  This protein provides the structural support that affixes calcium to your bones—but without vitamin K2, osteoclacins cannot do their job.  Vitamin K2 transforms osteoclacins into their active bone-building form.  In the absence of vitamin K2, bone growth is stunted.      Vitamin K2 also suppresses cells known as osteoclasts, which tear down and remove bone and bone tissue.  By inhibiting osteoclasts, vitamin K2 helps strengthen and maintain bones.      Many research studies supporting the findings that vitamin K2 helps maintain healthy bone mass and growth have been published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research and Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. The Best Sources of Vitamin K2 Fermented foods—typically not a large part of our diets—contain the highest concentration of vitamin K2.  An ancient Japanese food called natto is perhaps the best food source of vitamin K2.  It contains 10 times the amount of vitamin K2 that spinach contains of vitamin K1.  Unfortunately, the taste and texture is unpleasant, and requires the use of flavor enhancers to be palatable to most people.      If you are unable to tolerate natto, some nutritionists suggest supplementing with raw curd cheese.  Although it contains 27 times less K2 than natto, it is still a wonderful source of the vitamin.      If you are looking to supplement in tablet form, it's best to invest in a product that comes from natto (vitamin K2-7), rather than a synthetic form of vitamin K.  A vitamin K2 supplement should be free of allergens and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and manufactured via a stable fermentation process.  = = = = = = = = = = = Featured Article: Why a Healthy Digestive Tract is an Important Key to Longevity and the Prevention of Disease More than 100 million Americans experience digestive problems.  But most people don't know that digestive imbalances can severely damage one's health.      One clue to what "normal" digestion looks like ... can be found by observing primitive people living in rural, non-industrialized regions—those who live simple lives, and who have simple, natural diets.  These people have been observed to have one bowel movement within 20 to 30 minutes after eating a major meal—and they average 2 to 4 bowel movements a day!      If you've been told that having one bowel movement a day was a good sign of healthy digestion, that is erroneous information that is hazardous to your health.  The fact is, if you're eating 3 meals a day and NOT having 3 bowel movements a day—your digestive health may already be in serious trouble, and you must read this entire article immediately!      It may come as a shock to learn that most people over 50 don't even have 1 bowel movement a day.  In fact, the average American stores an estimated 6 to 10 pounds of fecal waste in their colon.  This alarming trend could mean they lack a sufficient amount of "friendly" bacteria to help digest foods.  Poor digestion can lead to sluggish bowels.  Then fecal matter can attach itself to the walls of your bowels and become a breeding ground for a host of health worries—from polyps ... to diverticulitis ... to colon cancer.      Do any of the following symptoms apply to you?      Embarrassing gas      Occasional heartburn      Diarrhea      Uncomfortable bowels      Leaky gut      Food sensitivities      Fatigue      Inflammation (possibly manifesting            as achy joints or skin rashes)      If you checked yes to any of the above, it's possible you're suffering from improper digestion.      The good news is that you can find freedom and relief from digestive problems without abandoning the foods you love ... safely and naturally! Diapers at Night at the Young Age of 33?! Dr. Michael Cutler knows firsthand the health horrors of digestive problems, and the miraculous relief of overcoming them.  Dr. Cutler is a board-certified family physician with more than 17 years experience specializing in chronic health problems, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue.      Starting in early adolescence and for decades thereafter, Dr. Cutler endured a painful digestive ailment that led to an unnecessary radical surgery that left him wearing diapers at night at the young age of 33!      That's when Dr. Cutler took matters into his own hands, and shifted his focus from conventional medicines to natural therapies that heal and prevent illnesses.  Since then, he has uncovered the cure to his own digestive maladies, and restored the health of thousands of patients.  The remarkable truth discovered by Dr. Cutler could turn your digestive health around, as well. The War Within Digestive problems may signal a war inside of you.  It's a battle between "friendly" and "unfriendly" bacteria in your stomach and intestines.  Friendly bacteria—healthy intestinal flora called probiotics—break down food, help your body absorb essential nutrients, and keep "bad" bacteria from multiplying out of control.      This means you can properly digest food ... absorb critical nutrients and minerals ... and keep your bowels healthy and regular.      "It is estimated that the correct balance of bacteria in the gut is 15% bad bacteria and 85% friendly bacteria to create a healthy colon."  —Stewart Hare, Nutritional Therapist      Friendly bacteria ensure that your organs, cells, blood, muscles and nerves get the nutrients they need to energize you—and repair and replace old, damaged and dying cells!      But as you age, your friendly bacteria levels decline.  Poor eating habits, illness, alcohol, smoke, pollution, and even stress also take a toll.  By the time you reach your 40s, your natural levels of friendly bacteria are diminished significantly.  That's why foods you used to tolerate now can become unbearable.      When this happens, bad bacteria have an easier time taking over.      This is a serious problem because without adequate friendly bacteria, you can't properly digest and eliminate the foods you eat.  The "bad" bacteria feast on undigested foods in your digestive tract ... and release huge amounts of gases including methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.      These noxious fumes can cause a host of abdominal problems including:      The great news is, promoting balance in your digestive tract is actually easy to do!  The secret is to flood your digestive tract with healthy intestinal flora-probiotics. Why Most Probiotics Are Useless      If you've tried probiotics in the past and been disappointed, that's probably because most probiotic supplements fail to deliver live flora to your digestive tract—no matter how many millions or billions of beneficial bacteria they may claim to contain.      The reason is that probiotics are very delicate.  They can be destroyed by overprocessing or exposure to air ... heat ... light ... or stomach acids.      Most probiotics require refrigeration, and are ruined once left out in a warehouse ... on a store shelf ... or in your kitchen cabinet.      Worse yet, if your probiotic supplements are in encapsulated powder, there's a good chance you're getting very little or no benefit.  When powdered probiotics are constantly exposed to air—even when they're in capsule form—any viable cells that were once present are quickly destroyed.      Finally, stomach acid and bile from your liver quickly kill powdered probiotics in the digestion process.      If you're taking probiotics that come in capsules—most if not all of what you're getting are most likely dead and useless bacteria.  The trick to getting probiotics into your system alive is a delivery system that protects them from stomach acids and carries them straight into your intestines.      Dr. Cutler advises for his patients the only probiotic supplement produced via a patent-pending tableting method that prevents heat, air, and moisture from destroying the delicate organisms.  This technology means the tablets do not require refrigeration.  Studies show that probiotics manufactured this way and stored at room temperature still contain significant microorganism viability 2 years later!  Only with this technology can you benefit from those billions of thriving and healthy probiotics. 8 "Super Strains" of Powerful Probiotics The benefits of 8 particular super strains of beneficial bacteria have been written about in numerous prestigious journals including Vitamin Research News ... Clinical Therapeutics ... Pediatric Research ... American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ... and Journal of Dairy Science.  With adequate supplies of these 8 proven friendly bacteria, you can...
