Arthritis Relief and CMO ? read how CMO might have you dancing again.....

CMO Testimonial from Christopher Templeton

I have had increasing back pain for years now. I contracted polio when I was 6 months old, so, at age 53, I guess I'm pretty lucky that pain is only "just" making a difference in my life! I had back surgery 6 months ago and went off all the supplements I had been on. I could hardly walk - not from the surgery, necessarily, but from an incredible onset of arthritis. Andrew (of Universal Formulas) suggested CMO-ReVive. It was expensive and I was reluctant to shell out so much money on something that as far as I was concerned was new and untested by anyone that I knew...The first month went by and there was not much difference - after the second month I was better - now after the full three months protocol (Unless I drink coffee) I HAVE NO PAIN. CMO is definitely worth the money - worth the time!!!

The virtues of Universal Formulas' Natural Vitamin E (item #5071)

The Vitamin E that we offer our customers is a natural organic form that is extracted (cold process) from soybeans. Our Vitamin E contains the d-alpha tocopherols, d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta forms that occur naturally in soybeans and are the true natural forms of Vitamin E while Vitamin E acetate or dl-alpha- tocopherols are synthetic forms. Our Vitamin E supplement contains only the natural form d-alpha. The mixed tocopherols retained in our formula make this a ?whole food? Vitamin E. We utilize a cold extraction process that retains all other naturally occurring constituents in tact including its enzyme activity.

The manufacturing practices used in the production, extraction and packaging of our Vitamin E are among the best in the industry. Our Vitamin E has a 22-year track record of producing excellent results for our customers. The only way to get a more natural form of Vitamin E is to eat raw wheat germ or some other raw food containing rich quantities of the vitamin.

Vitamin E has been shown to be a major antioxidant and the primary defense against lipid peroxidation, which can result in cellular damage. Vitamin E can protect cells from free radical/oxidative damage. These protective benefits are achievable with supplemental intakes higher than is normally consumed in the average diet.

Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) is also an anti-oxidant that is important in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and several types of cancer. While only a small amount of Vitamin E is needed to meet minimum daily requirements, research has shown that taking Vitamin E at higher doses may be helpful in preventing or treating various medical conditions. These conditions include cardiac autonomic neuropathy (a complication of diabetes), low sperm count, restless leg syndrome, inflammation of eye tissues, Parkinson's and RA (rheumatoid arthritis).

In addition, Vitamin E promotes normal blood clotting and healing, aids in preventing cataracts, improves athletic performance and assists in maintaining cell integrity. It is known to improve circulation and is useful in treating fibrocystic disease of the breast as well as the cramps associated with premenstrual syndrome. Studies suggest that Vitamin E may slow down the progression of Alzheimer?s disease. Thus far, Vitamin E has been shown to protect against approximately eighty diseases. Natural Vitamin E may also improve seniors' immune response.

The Avian Flu ? How and Why You Need Not Be Concerned

With all of the recent alarm promoted by the media and even our own government surrounding the possible Avian Flu ?Pandemic,? we want to alleviate any fear by providing you with an effective plan to keep your family in optimum health.

Each of us can protect ourselves and our loved ones from the Avian Flu?

Easily, Simply, Safely and Naturally with

~ ?All Natural? Vitamin C ( # 5056) and Vitamin E ( # 5071) ~

Vitamin C and Vitamin E, when used in high enough doses, is known to be the BEST all-natural ?powerhouse? defense team against colds and the flu, including the Avian Flu (IF it mutates to humans).

How does the Avian Flu do its damage?

Birds (or humans if the virus mutates spontaneously - or is mutated in a lab) die because the H5N1 virus (Avian Flu) depletes Vitamin C stores so quickly that the cause of death is scurvy?.

The human body cannot produce Vitamin C on its own though it is necessary for a great many vital processes, including immune function and vascular integrity. The need for Vitamin C is variable so the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is not going to fulfill everyone?s need for this essential vitamin.

Universal Formulas? Vitamin C complex contains a composition of a 1:1 ratio of Ascorbic Acid to Citrus Bio-Flavanoids. Hesperidan, Rose Hips and Rutin are added to this blend creating a superior anti-oxidant formula. It is especially important to take vitamin C daily, as it is not stored by the body and is used at a rapid rate.

An effective method of establishing the amount of vitamin C required by your body for maximum immune protection is the Bowel Tolerance (BT) method, agreed to by many experts. The body?s need for vitamin C increases considerably when you are stressed. Since natural Vitamin C is non-toxic your body will safely indicate when you have taken enough. Vitamin C appears to be most effective in fighting disease when the dose is close to the bowel tolerance limit. An example of having reached Bowel Tolerance is when diarrhea or soft stools occur as a result of the Vitamin C dosage. Once you reach BT (whether it is at 1 gram or 20 grams of vitamin C) you can cut back to 75% of that dose. It is suggested to continue taking that dosage EVERY DAY throughout the day.

According to Dr. Linus Pauling, (a two time Nobel prize laureate) Vitamin C protects against urinary tract infections. He recommended using this laxative effect to reduce chances of developing colon cancer. The laxative effect of Vitamin C is said to be greater when the vitamin is taken on an empty stomach.

Dr. Irwin Stone, a pioneer in the use of vitamin C, also recommends taking 1500 to 2000 mg at the first sign of a cold and repeating the dose at 20 to 30 minute intervals until symptoms disappear. He said this usually happens by the third dose.

"Understanding the Cleansing and Healing Process" - a discussion with Ralf Ostertag

Many of us are interested in improving our health. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is to detoxify the body. It is imperative to understand the importance and value of changing our body's chemistry to one that supports longevity and health instead of creating a downward spiral into disease. As we embark upon the process of a cleansing protocol, we often times will experience what is referred to as a "healing crisis", also known as a "healing reversal". It is vital that we grasp the concept of what symptoms or cleansing "side effects" constitutes "sickness" and which ones constitute a "healing crisis".

A "healing crisis" may be mistaken for a "bad reaction" to a cleansing. When the cells of our body begin to upgrade (to improved cellular respiration and function), the cells are able to take in more oxygen and rid themselves of waste in a more efficient manner. Once this upgrading begins, our internal organs (including the Bowel, Liver, Kidneys, Skin, Lymphatic System, Blood and Lungs) become a conduit for removing cellular waste. These organs will need to remove 2 pounds of waste daily for optimum health. click here to read the whole article

Universal Formulas has created a free "Cleansing Assessment" questionnaire. The results of this assessment will assist you on your road to health improvement through detoxification. By filling out this questionnaire you will gain an even better understanding of what direction best suits your personal needs. You may take the free "Cleansing Assessment" by clicking here: "Take me to the free assessment" (There is no cost or obligation)

We encourage you to share your healing experiences with us via E-mail. Those of you with very serious ailments may choose to speak to Ralf Ostertag directly for a personal appointment.

What is the effect of coffee on the supplements I take?

Coffee contains nearly 200 chemicals. Many of these chemicals are oil based and therefore put an added stress on liver function. One chemical, caffeine, actually shows some health benefits in small amounts. In large amounts it can interfere with normal sleep patterns as well as become difficult for liver metabolism. As far as affecting nutritional supplement intake, it is commonly advised to limit coffee intake to one or two cups per day. Coffee during mealtime, even though it is acidic, fools the stomach's ability to secrete the needed amount of Hydrochloric Acid. This reduced Hydrochloric Acid often times contributes to an Acid Reflux response. This is why we recommend the elimination of coffee if you suffer from Acid Reflux. Understand that coffee, with its hundreds of chemicals, affects each person differently.

What is meant by a scalable dosage?

One of the many core beliefs of our company is that each person is unique and has different needs. Therefore, many of Universal Formulas' products suggest a dosage based on body weight to maximize the health benefits of your supplements and your investment. We are one of few supplement suppliers to do so.

Why does Universal Formulas add Fulvic Compounds so many of their products?

We add a combination of 77 fulvic trace minerals, mineral compounds and mineral elements, as well as a blend of "plant derived" enzymes to our products. This combination of natural vegetarian fulvic minerals and enzymatic compounds provides the greatest bio-availability of supplemental ingredients known today.

The added enzyme activity in our formulations ensures that nutrients are properly digested. And the fulvic minerals, which carry 60 times their molecular weight in nutrients directly to cells, are the transport agents of our supplements. This combination is the "one-two punch" that sets our products above and apart from all others. As far as we are aware, we are the first and only company to combine these ingredients into supplements.

Christopher Templeton's Bio

Christopher Templeton is a pioneer in the entertainment industry. Twenty years ago, when she started her quest to conquer Hollywood, she entered the city with $90 in her pocket and a life long hunger to be an actress. Within two years she landed her first Guest Star role on prime time TV, a recurring role in a series produced by Henry Winkler and a series regular role (which would become an eleven year gig) on The Young and the Restless as Carol Robbins. What makes Chris a pioneer is that she has a physical disability. At six months old she contracted polio along with thirteen others in her neighborhood of Highland Park, Illinois. When she entered the Hollywood arena, disability on Television was the vision of only a few producers. Chris became the cutting edge actress most often called upon to fill a multitude of roles requiring a person with a disability. She has the honor of being the actor with a disability to have the longest ongoing disability related role on television. She was on The Young and the Restless for eleven years. During that time she also did well over a dozen guest star roles on such series as Fraser, Jake and the Fatman, Simon and Simon, Duet, Quincy,etc. She has also been fortunate enough to do several movies of the week acting along side such notables as Peter Falk and also the late John Candy. She has starred in three independent films, two of which made the festival circuit over the last few years and one that will hit the circuit in 2006.

Expanded CMO info

CMO is an acronym for Cetyl Myristoleate. Discovered by the late Dr. Diehl in the mid 1990's, this natural product has been shown to repair the joint connective tissue in both animals and humans. Dr. Diehl's family still continues his research today.

What is Universal Formulas' CMO-ReVive?

CMO-ReVive (Item # 6300) is a complete blend of the highest quality and potency ingredients ever found in a uniquely effective arthritis relief formula. Universal Formulas' CMO-ReVive is based on Dr Diehl's CMO ingredient and is an enhanced blend with the addition of specific potent enzymes and 77 Fulvic trace minerals. This natural blend is effective in relieving pain and for re-building connective tissue in and around the joints.

This bio-engineered blend is extremely effective at providing the body with elemental CMO. It is the only blend of its kind, incorporating high potency CMO (20% elemental value), Enzymes, Vitamins, and Fulvic Trace Minerals. In this blended format, CMO ReVive provides simple, consistent, and effective supplementation. Ingredients and properties are:

- CMO-20% Complex is the highest potency CMO to date, providing joint/connective tissue repair.
- Lipase Enzymes aid in the breakdown of CMO, making CMO deliverable at a cellular level.

- Specific Vitamins are chemical structures needed for the body to utilize critical nutrients.

CMO-ReVive is an Exclusive Blend from Andrew Bruex, the owner of Universal Formulas

Known for his perfectionist tendencies, it is not surprising that Andrew set about the task of analyzing the best CMO products on the market?and seeing what improvements could still be made. Because of his desire to create "the best of the best," Andrew developed a blend with the following primary criteria:

Highest Quality (only the best available ingredients used).
Highest Potency (high potency CMO, providing enough CMO to be delivered to the joint).
Enzyme Enhancement (to breakdown CMO, a fatty acid, for better delivery).
Mineral Enhancement (to provide fundamentals for healthy bones, muscles and tendons).
Inflammation Relief (for immediate joint relief, to allow healing to occur).

Doctor Le Beau's Testimonial

A case for therapeutic use of Universal Formulas' Natural Vitamin E

"My patient had surgery to his knee for an old injury. After the surgery he developed "blood clots" and his leg swelled so badly he had to wear shorts with the seams split because he couldn't get his leg into pants. He is a big man, (over 300 pounds), and has a very physical job. Because of the pain and swelling he was not able to work and was having a difficult time even walking. His (the patient's) doctors, (Kaiser Healthcare Group), had suggested further surgery. When I finally saw him I advised him to take the Natural Vitamin E from Universal Formulas, (one capsule for every 30 pounds of body weight). He asked his doctor (from the Kaiser Healthcare Group) about that and was told not to do it because, "it could dislodge a clot and cause a stroke". He waited another two weeks before contacting me again. He said what his doctors were doing was obviously not working and he was getting worse. He bought several bottles of Universal Formulas' Vitamin E and started taking 10 every day. After the second day the numbness started improving. By the third day the swelling started going away. By the end of the first week he was back to work and by the end of the second week all of his symptoms had completely resolved. He still takes the Universal Formulas' Natural Vitamin E, 4 to 6 a day. He is very thankful and has spread the word about his experience. His other doctors are still trying to figure out how he made such a rapid recovery."

Understanding the Cleansing and Healing Process

- a discussion with Ralf Ostertag
Many of us are interested in improving our health. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is to detoxify the body. It is imperative to understand the importance and value of changing our body's chemistry to one that supports longevity and health instead of creating a downward spiral into disease. As we embark upon the process of a cleansing protocol, we often times will experience what is referred to as a "healing crisis", also known as a "healing reversal". It is vital that we grasp the concept of what symptoms or cleansing "side effects" constitutes "sickness" and which ones constitute a "healing crisis". Insert link to Shalmee's reference paper here

A "healing crisis" may be mistaken for a "bad reaction" to a cleansing. When the cells of our body begin to upgrade (to improved cellular respiration and function), the cells are able to take in more oxygen and rid themselves of waste in a more efficient manner. Once this upgrading begins, our internal organs (including the Bowel, Liver, Kidneys, Skin, Lymphatic System, Blood and Lungs) become a conduit for removing cellular waste. These organs will need to remove 2 pounds of waste daily for optimum health.

We can expect several outcomes as a result of cleansing efforts as the body steps up its ability to regain a desired rate of cellular toxin elimination. The first outcome is that of an increased feeling of well being in the initial stages of the detoxification process. Any time we improve our diets or add the right supplementation to a starved cell, the body will begin to detoxify itself at some level. The rates and degrees of detoxification through diet change and supplementation vary for each individual. This type of detoxification process is a gradual one. Those of us with a nameable disease or who feel "sick" daily may not have the luxury of taking the slower route. Herbs, enzymes and fulvic trace minerals can be of great benefit in speeding up the cleansing process.

Using herbs, enzymes and fulvic trace minerals to aid detoxification is best when accompanied with appropriate supplementation before, during and after their use. While the process of detoxification is integral to improved cellular health, proper nutrition is imperative to sustained health.

Another outcome of detoxification or cleansing is that the symptoms of past disorders may reoccur. This is because the body heals itself from the head down and from the inside out. The buildup of tissue memory in relation to original symptoms or imbalances is released during the cleansing process. It is absolutely vital that we re-experience these past symptoms with an attitude of:

• Love
• Forgiveness
• and Non-resistance

Every disease has a mental and emotional aspect to it. If you resist what you are being shown, the "feeling" or "mental state" will crystallize itself in your body. When the "healing reversal/crisis" occurs you are again being given the opportunity to heal yourself without the resistance to the symptoms and feelings. RESIST it and you will perpetuate the disorder on all levels?mental, emotional and physical. Move through the healing reversal/crisis with love and forgiveness and all aspects of the problem will leave? thereby moving a "step up" towards better health and well-being.

Understanding the symptoms and feelings of the "healing reversal/crisis" is essential so that we do not mistake detoxification for "sickness." In my 30 years of participating in the health improvement of others, I have seen a large number of medical doctors treat attempts by the body to rid itself of toxic wastes as "disease," not realizing the difference between detoxification and disease.

The following are examples of people who register symptoms during the healing process that can be mistaken for disease. Someone with Kidney trouble may see eruptions on the skin such as boils or hives that are simply toxins being eliminated via the particular organ system (in this case the skin) most able to take on the extra load. Another person with bowel trouble may have loose stools that are extremely pungent. For treatment, or to understand the cause for diarrhea, going to the doctor in this case may result with a prescription for a stool hardener or related medication. The exiting of toxins from the body via loose bowel is stopped by medication such as this, which is intended to treat the symptom of diarrhea rather than the condition of toxicity in the body. Symptom treatment is a practice common to modern or western medicine and does not often include consideration of the being as a whole, which can be difficult for people who want to or are cleansing for general health.

Healing ourselves may not always be a pleasant experience. This is because we create disease by poisoning ourselves slowly over time. There is NO magic drug or pill that will eliminate a cause that has been rooted this way. While the disease is insidious and may go unnoticed until symptoms appear, such symptoms may occur during cleansing. Only the elimination of these toxins via a cleansing and nutrient program will eventually do the job.

Serious diseases like cancer or diabetes may require the help of an alternative health practitioner to get you on the right path. Detoxifying too quickly may be dangerous for some due to the overall weakness of the body that accompanies serious ailments.
