Good morning everyone,
I participated in the President’s call last  night with Nuverus and it was great. Dr Leslie Jacobs spoke. She is a certified internal medicine specialist in Las Vegas . She is working on a health program which will include a book and focus  on stress reduction,  weight loss, and overall feeling better. They talked like it was close (I dialed in a few minutes late so I missed part of her  presentation).

<p>Good morning everyone,</p>
<div id="attachment_303" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 275px"><a href="https://www2.mlmwebtracker.com/nuverus/join/signup.cfm?sponsorid=3256517"><img class="size-full wp-image-303" title="NuVerus Logo" src="http://veryhealthychoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/nuverus_logo.gif" alt="NuVerus Logo" width="265" height="110" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> </p></div>
<p>I participated in the President’s call last  night with Nuverus and it was great. Dr Leslie Jacobs spoke. She is a certified internal medicine specialist in Las Vegas . She is working on a health program which will include a book and focus  on stress reduction,  weight loss, and overall feeling better. They talked like it was close (I dialed in a few minutes late so I missed part of her  presentation). Dr Georgeson (Medical Director for Nuverus and Euforia developer) told  us the energy drink is very close. Dr Julian Bales also participated. Besides  being a medical advisor to Nuverus, Dr Bales’ resume is pretty stout. I did some research on him before joining and his credentials are pretty  impressive. Former Pittsburg Steeler team doctor, Head of Neurology at  West Virginia University  , Medical consultant to the NFL, etc. Certainly would be considered one of  the premier Neurological specialists in the country. Anyway, he has the lead  on the development of a heart and brain healthy product using omega 3’s among  other things.  Several other company people spoke and then a few folks like us who are members and have had success spoke. Of course, it closed with  Michael Jureau the President on Nuverus. He is a great speaker. Very  motivational and funny. This guy has a passion for this company and where it is going. He  has a passion for the opportunity it presents. Of course that all ties in with  the corporate name. Nuverus. Verus means “life” so Nuverus means “New Life” which drives the slogan New Beginnings, Unlimited Possibilities.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Now, the  part that was really motivational!!!</span></strong> Michael announced last  night that they are adding a new twist to the double bonus for new recruits. Originally, it was recruit 5 new members by April (12<sup>th</sup> I  believe) and the company would double it. Get 5 more and they would double it again.  Last night Michael threw out the minimum number of 5 and said  they will double the bonus for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">each</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">new</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">recruit</span>. That  got my attention! I even text messaged Dr Debord to verify that I heard that correctly.  This is a real opportunity not just for us but for folks you might be talking to. If you can get your new recruits signed up they  will have 6 or 7 weeks to work this for their own gain as well.<span id="more-299"></span></p>
<p>For some of our newer members, we need to  get your first two so we can get you income qualified. What can we do to help? Don’t forget the great tools we have available.</p>
<p>1)       The training webinars are the best thing you can do for your business I think. They  have gotten great feedback. The one on prospecting the other night was very  good. It is recorded and should be in your back office. There are 3 of the 6  recorded and in the back office now under “training” and “webinar library” The other 3 will be recorded as they are presented. Attending live is best because you can ask questions but watching the replays is  very good too.</p>
<p>2)       Use the call Monday thru Friday at 1 EST with Dr Debord. The number is in you back  office under “training” and “calls”</p>
<p>3)       Use the Monday and Wed (8 pm EST and 11 pm EST) opportunity webinars to show  people the program if you aren’t comfortable.</p>
<p>4)       Feel free to use Craig or myself whether it be over the phone, lunch, or whatever. Dr  Debord will even help as his schedule permits.</p>
<p>Dr Drew put it best the other night when I  heard him speak. Ask someone if they are getting the 6-8 servings of organic fruits and vegetables per day that their body needs. If they are, that is awesome.  I’ll bet they aren’t doing it on $2-$4 per day.  If they are not, this is a simple and relatively inexpensive (as compared to buying and preparing organic fruits and vegetables) way to do it. He also has told us they  changed the labels and children can take the Euforia product now. He recommended  no more than 1 oz for 10 and younger. The question was raised about animals  and he said it was ok for animals too. One other thing he shared that we need  to keep an eye on is the Cancer Institute in Detroit  has been doing some cancer studies. They seam to have found some links  with two compounds that when combined show promise in preventing colorectal  cancer. Those two compounds are Resveratrol  and Curcumin. Both are in Euforia. As they do more clinical trials  and testing I will be anxious to hear the results.</p>
<p>We want all of you get as much out of this  company as you can and we want to help.</p>
<p>Don’t forget the double bonuses!!! They are  there for <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">OUR</span></strong> taking.</p>
<p>Mike</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity</strong> (ORAC) is a method of  measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples. A wide variety of foods have been tested using this methodology, with  certain spices,  berries and legumes rated very highly.  Correlation between the high antioxidant capacity of fruits and  vegetables, and the positive impact of diets high in fruits and  vegetables, is believed to play an important role in the free-radical theory of aging.</p>
<h3>Method</h3>
<div id="attachment_295" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://veryhealthychoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/brunzwick-test.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-295 " title="Euforia ORAC Scorre by Brunzwick" src="http://veryhealthychoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/brunzwick-test-300x283.jpg" alt="Euforia ORAC Scorre by Brunzwick" width="300" height="283" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Euforia ORAC Score by Brunzwick</p></div>
<p>The assay measures the oxidative degradation of the fluorescent  molecule (either beta-phycoerythrin or fluorescein)  after being mixed with free radical generators such as azo-initiator  compounds. Azo-initiators are considered to produce the peroxyl radical by heating, which  damages the fluorescent molecule, resulting in the loss of fluorescence.  Antioxidant is able to protect the fluorescent molecule from the oxidative  degeneration. The degree of protection will be quantified using a fluorometer.  Fluorescein is currently used most as a fluorescent probe. Equipment  that can automatically measure and calculate the capacity is  commercially available (Biotek, Roche Diagnostics).</p>
<p>The fluorescent intensity decreases as the oxidative degeneration  proceeds, and this intensity is typically recorded for 35 minutes after  the addition of the azo-initiator (free radical generator). The  degeneration (or decomposition) of fluorescein is measured as the  presence of the antioxidant slows the fluorescence decay. Decay curves  (fluorescence intensity vs. time) are recorded and the area between the  two decay curves (with or without antioxidant) is calculated.  Subsequently, the degree of antioxidant-mediated protection is  quantified using the antioxidant trolox (a  vitamin E analogue) as a standard. Different concentrations of trolox  are used to make a standard curve, and test samples are compared to  this. Results for test samples (foods) have been published as &#8220;trolox  equivalents&#8221; or TE.<span id="more-292"></span></p>
<p>One benefit of using the ORAC method to evaluate substances&#8217;  antioxidant capacity is that it takes into account samples with and  without lag phases of their antioxidant capacities. This is especially  beneficial when measuring foods and supplements that contain complex  ingredients with various slow and fast acting antioxidants, as well as  ingredients with combined effects that cannot be pre-calculated.</p>
<p>Drawbacks of this method are: 1) only antioxidant activity against  particular (probably mainly peroxyl) radicals is measured; 2) the nature  of the damaging reaction is not characterized; and 3) there is no  evidence that free radicals are involved in this reaction. Moreover, the  relationship between ORAC values and the health benefit has not been  established.</p>
<p>When comparing ORAC data, care must be taken to ensure that the units  and food being compared are similar. Some evaluations will compare ORAC  units per grams dry weight, others will evaluate ORAC units wet weight  and still others will look at ORAC units/serving. Under each evaluation,  different foods can appear to have higher ORAC values. Although a  raisin has no more antioxidant potential than the grape from which it  was dried, raisins will appear to have a much higher ORAC value per gram  wet weight than grapes due to their reduced water content. Likewise,  watermelons large water content can make it appear as though they are  very low in antioxidants. Similarly, the typical quantity used  culinarily should be considered; herbs and spices can be nutritionally  dense but are used in much smaller quantities than other foods. Additionally, considering the ORAC value per calorie could be of some  utility, as understanding just how much antioxidizing potential one  could incorporate from a product into one&#8217;s diet would determine the  real utility of the product.</p>
<h3>Comparisons  of ORAC values</h3>
<p>Recently, a number of health food companies have capitalized on the  ORAC rating, with dozens selling concentrated supplements that they  claim to be &#8220;the number one ORAC product&#8221;. Most of these values have  never been published in the scientific literature so are difficult to  evaluate. It is not known whether such values are accurate or how  absorbable and functional these concentrated antioxidants are in the  human body.</p>

<p>Black  Seed is a traditional herb that has been in use for thousands of years  by people living in the Middle East and some parts of Asia and Africa to  promote health and fight disease. It is also known the “Blessed Seed”.</p>
<p><strong>What are the  essential properties of Black Seed?</strong></p>
<p>Black Seed herb contains over 100 components, many of which still remain  to be discovered. It is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids and  contains about 35% oil, 21% protein, and 38% carbohydrates. More than  50% of the oil are essential fatty acids. It’s linoleic acid and gamma  linolenic acid content help form Prostaglandin E1, which helps the body  to inhibit infections, balances the immune system, and regulates  allergic reactions. Gamma-linolenic acid also helps stabilize the cell  membrane. Black Seed also contains about .5-1.5% volatile oils including  Nigellone and thymochinon which are responsible for Black Seed’s  anti-histamine, anti-oxidant, anti-infective, and broncho-dialating  effect.</p>
<p><strong>What are some of the  traditional uses of Black Seed?</strong></p>
<p>Traditionally, Black Seed has been used for a variety of conditions and  treatments related to respiratory health, stomach and intestinal  complaints, kidney &amp; liver function, circulatory and immune system  support, and to improve general health. Its can be topically used for  eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, inflammation, and scalp massage.<span id="more-283"></span></p>
<p><strong>What scientific  research has there been on Black Seed?</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_284" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-284" title="Black Seed" src="http://veryhealthychoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/blackseed.bmp" alt="Black Seed" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Black Seed Benefits</p></div>
<p>Since 1959, there  have been over 200 studies at international universities and articles  published in various journals showing remarkable results supporting some  of its traditional uses. In 1960, Egyptian researchers confirmed that  Nigellone was responsible for Black Seeds broncho-dialating effect.  Recently scientists in Europe have confirmed the anti-bacterial and  anti-mycotic effects of black seed oil. Scientists at the Cancer and  Immuno-Biological Laboratory have found that Black Seed stimulates bone  marrow and immune cells and raises the interferon production, protects  normal cells against cell destroying effects of viruses, destroys tumor  cells and raises the number of anti-bodies producing B cells.</p>
<p><strong>What about the  effects of Black Seed and Prostaglandin E1 on the Immune System?</strong></p>
<p>Through  the formation of Protaglandin E1, the complete immune system is  harmonized and the body’s over-reactive allergic reactions are  stabilized. By also inhibiting infection, the immune system is able to  prevent and control chronic illnesses. Healthy cells are protected from  the damaging effects of viruses, inhibiting tumors. As a result  Interferon cell protein is formed, inhibiting growth of damaging  micro-organisms.</p>
<p>Recently independent clinical studies published  in the Archives of Aids also established some astonishing effects of  Black Seed on the defense system by improving the ratio between helper  T-cells and suppressor T-cells by a significant amount while also  enhancing the natural killer cell activity.</p>
<p><strong>What are some of the  other Effects of Black Seed?</strong></p>
<p>Black Seed helps support  metabolism, digestion, and lowers blood sugars levels. It has been  useful in the treatment of diabetes melitus. In digestive matters, Black  Seed helps to stimulate bile and promote regularity, improve digestion,  and has been used to fight worms and parasites of the intestinal tract.</p>
<p><strong>What are the overall  benefits of Black Seed?</strong></p>
<p>Black Seed is a excellent herb  with many benefits, especially  when it comes to maintaining a strong  and healthy immune system. It is also very useful to individuals  suffering from asthma and respiratory complaints, weakened or  over-stimulated Immune system, kidney or liver problems, digestive and  stomach problems, arthritis and circulatory complaints, allergies and  hay fever, and acne. Black Seed is a safe and excellent herb that can be  used by anyone. It has no known side effects and has a long history of  use for several thousand years.</p>

To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system of <em><a href="http://veryhealthychoice.com/tag/antioxidants/" target="_blank">antioxidants</a>.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_264" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-264  " title="What are free radicals?" src="http://veryhealthychoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/what-are-free-radicals-300x224.gif" alt="What are free radicals?" width="240" height="179" /><p class="wp-caption-text">  </p></div>
<p>Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. Although there are several enzyme systems within the body that scavenge free radicals, the principle micronutrient (vitamin) antioxidants are vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Additionally, selenium, a trace metal that is required for proper function of one of the body&#8217;s antioxidant enzyme systems, is sometimes included in this category. The body cannot manufacture these micronutrients so they must be supplied in the diet.</p>
<p><strong>Vitamin E</strong> : d-alpha tocopherol. A fat soluble vitamin present in nuts, seeds, vegetable and fish oils, whole grains (esp. wheat germ), fortified cereals, and apricots. Current recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 15 IU per day for men and 12 IU per day for women.</p>
<p><strong>Vitamin C</strong> : Ascorbic acid is a water soluble vitamin present in citrus fruits and juices, green peppers, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, kale, cantaloupe, kiwi, and strawberries. The RDA is 60 mg per day. Intake above 2000 mg may be associated with adverse side effects in some individuals.</p>
<p><strong>Beta-carotene</strong> is a precursor to vitamin A (retinol) and is present in liver, egg yolk, milk, butter, spinach, carrots, squash, broccoli, yams, tomato, cantaloupe, peaches, and grains. Because beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A by the body there is no set requirement. Instead the RDA is expressed as retinol equivalents (RE), to clarify the relationship. (NOTE: Vitamin A has no antioxidant properties and can be quite toxic when taken in excess.)</p>

The question that arises is, how effectively can athletes defend against the increased free radicals resulting from exercise? Do athletes need to take extra antioxidants?
Because it is not possible to directly measure free radicals in the body, scientists have approached this question by measuring the by-products that result from free radical reactions.

<p>Because it is not possible to directly measure free radicals in the body, scientists have approached this question by measuring the by-products that result from free radical reactions. If the generation of free radicals exceeds the antioxidant defenses then one would expect to see more of these by-products. These measurements have been performed in athletes under a variety of conditions.</p>
<p>Several interesting concepts have emerged from these types of experimental studies. Regular physical exercise enhances the antioxidant defense system and protects against exercise induced free radical damage. This is an important finding because it shows how smart the body is about adapting to the demands of exercise. These changes occur slowly over time and appear to parallel other adaptations to exercise.</p>
<p>On the other hand, intense exercise in untrained individuals overwhelms defenses resulting in increased free radical damage. Thus, the &#8220;weekend warrior&#8221; who is predominantly sedentary during the week but engages in vigorous bouts of exercise during the weekend may be doing more harm than good. To this end there are many factors which may determine whether exercise induced free radical damage occurs, including degree of conditioning of the athlete, intensity of exercise, and diet.</p>

The seeds are frequently referred to as black cumin (as in Bengali: kalo jira, kalo jeera, kali jeera), but this is also used for a different spice, Bunium persicum. The scientific name is a derivative of Latin niger &#8220;black&#8221;. An older English name gith is now used for the corncockle. In English-speaking countries with large immigrant populations, it is also variously known as kalonji (Hindi कलौंजी kalauṃjī or कलोंजी kaloṃjī), kezah Hebrew קצח), chernushka (Russian), çörek otu (Turkish), habbat albarakah (Arabic حبه البركة ḥabbatu l-barakah &#8220;seed of blessing&#8221;) or siyah daneh (Persian سیاه‌دانه siyâh dâne)or كلونجى in urdu. &#8220;KARIM JEERAKAM&#8221; in Malayalam.<br />
A commercial pack of kalonji</p>
<p>It is used as part of the spice mixture Panch Puran and by itself in a great many recipes in Bengali cookery and most recognizably in Naan Bread as sold in the 90% of Indian restaurants in the UK which are in fact Bengali owned.<span id="more-254"></span></p>
<h3>Scientific research</h3>
<p>Black cumin oil contains nigellone, which protects guinea pigs from histamine-induced bronchial spasms (perhaps explaining its use to relieve the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and coughing).</p>
<p>The presence of an anti-tumor sterol, beta-sitosterol, lends credence to its traditional use to treat abscesses and tumors of the abdomen, eyes, and liver.</p>
<p>Nigella sativa oil has been reported to be effective in treating opioid dependence.</p>
<p>Nigella sativa also has been reported to reduce calculi formation in rats&#8217; kidney.</p>
<p><strong>Thymoquinone and pancreatic cancer treatment</strong></p>
<p>Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that thymoquinone, an extract of nigella sativa seed oil, blocked pancreatic cancer cell growth and killed the cells by enhancing the process of programmed cell death, (apoptosis). While the studies are in the early stages, the findings suggest that thymoquinone could eventually have some use as a preventative strategy in patients who have gone through surgery and chemotherapy or in individuals who are at a high risk of developing cancer.</p>
