Peak Energy Science Weekend Update
Saving Money on Healthcare
Many families, having to care for both children and aging parents, are looking for ways to do natural healthcare before spending their dollars at the doctor's office. It is not just the 50 million uninsured to whom politicians keep referring. Everyone else -- those employed and insured are looking for ways to avoid high deductibles and up-front costs of doctor visits. Recent surveys by the Kaiser Family Foundation tell us that a third of Americans reported having problems paying their medical bills.
I have been reading a raft of recent newspaper articles about how a poor economy is actually good for our health. In his article, "Are Recessions Good For Your Health?", economist Christopher Ruhm reviewed two decades worth of economic and health data and concluded that U.S. society as a whole is healthier during economic downturns. His reasoning was due to the fact that in such times, folks begin to look at ways to stay healthy and avoid high medical costs. Ruhm pointed out that focusing on better nutrition was the key to staying healthy.
It certainly seems that way. While other companies are seeking “bail-0ut” money, Dr. Bob Marshall and Quantum Nutrition Labs has just moved into a new 86,000 square foot manufacturing facility here in Round Rock. This new facility will increase our output over ten times what it is presently! The future is bright for QNL because people realize getting sick is very expensive in medical costs and missed work.
Stay in touch with QN Labs and our staff of QRA Certified Nutritionists. We are here to help you with your nutritional questions and health concerns. THIS IS A FREE SERVICE!
During tough economic times, tried and true advice about staying healthy bears repeating: Make those little decisions to stay healthy on your own: Eat well and enjoy Dr. Marshall’s Super Food Nutrition, plus - get daily exercise.
Thank all of you, again, for your continued interest in nutrition that really works!
Health and Blessings for the New Year!

New Health-2-Fitness website
3 Simple ways to vastly improve your health and fitness
Read my brief life story: http://www.health-2-fitness.com
Hi I am Lewis Jackson and I am an avid health and fitness enthusiast. As a youngster, I had a very active lifestyle. My Dad played college football and later became a marathon runner. I literally followed in his footsteps and ran numerous 10ks, half marathons, and marathons. I continued to run through college, but after I got married and built a family, I began to slow down. Health problems involving my teeth contributed to my demise.
However, I fought back and refused to succumb to the damages of a sedentary lifestyle. The importance of exercise, nutrition, and proper rest are now more important in my life than ever. This website shares the resources I’ve found to be most helpful on my road to recovery.
I’ve found regular exercise of 30 minutes or more each day is very important to maintaining physical conditioning. It should not be underestimated in its ability to maintain the circulatory, respiratory, and skeletal systems of the body. We look in the mirror and its hard to detect the body wasting away through atrophy from the inside out. When symptoms of disease or damage occur, it is often too late to affect full recovery. The best health 2 fitness medicine is prevention, even if it is only mild walking each day for half an hour.
Nutrition was something I cheated on as a youth. I loved McDonalds, Burger King, and other processed foods and sugary drinks. My first wake up call was when I learned that many sodas contain up to nine teaspoons of sugar– not to mention the other chemical additives and acids. Even many supermarket foods you buy are heavily processed and contain toxins and synthetics. The nutrition links found on this page will provide alternative food sources that will help rebuild and vitalize your health and fitness from the inside out.
Finally, proper rest and sleep is paramount for full recovery and recuperation from each day’s rigors. You should schedule time for eight hours of sleep each night. Take catnaps to lessen stress on the body during the day. Maintain a positive outlook by feeding your mind and heart positive sources of motivation. It is also important to avoid emotional upheavals and drama in your life. Try to avoid allowing responsibilities to pile up, be proactive, keep life simple, and stay organized.
The three areas, exercise, nutrition, and proper rest, I briefly discussed above are part of what I call my well-being triangle. I hope my brief health and fitness tips have been helpful to you.

Determining the Quality of a Nutritional Product
Determining the Quality of a Nutritional Product
With every "health" and "nutritional" product, learn to read the label and ask the questions: Has the product been clinically tested by licensed healthcare professionals in actual clinics with a substantial number of patients? Where are the plants grown? Are they tested for irradiation? If so, what method is used for testing?
Is each plant tested for heavy metals and chemical contamination? If so, what method is used for testing? Is each plant tested for pesticides? If so, what method is used for testing? What species is used? What method is used for determining the species of plants? (There are many species of every plant and herb. Each has vastly different nutrient content, depending on where and how it is grown.)
What does the term "natural flavors" mean? (Most juice products have this on their labels - the new name for MSG – Monosodium Glutamate – a known brain neurotoxin that kills brain cells.)How is the product preserved? Is it pasteurized? (Destroys nutrient content) Does the product have toxic preservatives such as sodium benzoate, sorbic acic, or potassium sorbate?
If it is a tablet - how is it hardened and held together? (Answer: glues, binders, heat and pressure which destroys nutrients) If it is a capsule - Is it 100% vegetable fiber? (Rather than gelatin made from animal hooves.) Are any ingredients synthetic? (Studies show synthetic vitamins degrade cells and shorten the user's lifespan.) What are the "Other Ingredients" listed on the label?
(Many labels will show toxic ingredients such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, silicon dioxide (or "silica" - common sand), titanium dioxide, etc.) Are any ingredients fractioned out of plants and herbs? (Using harsh chemicals - Labels should list real plants and herbs, not isolated vitamins and minerals, such as "ascorbic acid" for real vitamin C.) Any distributor of a nutritional product should be able to answer these questions.
ARE YOU ABLE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH PRODUCTS?
If not, do your research, read all the information on my Peak Energy website, or email me and I’ll try my best to answer questions you have about our Living Source Nutritionals.

Are B Vitamins Supplements Really Necessary?
The B Vitamins
Peak Energy Science FYI
The entire family of B Vitamins should be on your list of “must-have” nutrients.
Vitamin B12 — the cobamide, fully reacted coenzyme form
Vitamin B12 is one of the building blocks of life. It is thought to play a primary role in the origin of DNA. Vitamin B12 plays a key role in the body and is associated with lower levels of homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is now believed to be toxic to the cells that line blood vessels, and also may increase blood clotting. B12 is required for energy production and overall health of the body, including red blood cell formation. Other roles of B12 include proper nervous system development and prevention of infertility in men. It has also been shown to improve memory and promote heart health.
Lack of sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 can create a deficiency or absorption problems that can lead to anemia. Research has shown that Vitamin B12 levels decline with age. It is estimated that one-third of people over the age of 60 cannot extract the vitamin B12 they need from the foods they eat.
Vitamin B12 has also been shown to guard against strokes and contribute to relieving asthma, bursitis, depression, low blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, and even certain mental disorders by supporting normal brain cell activity and encouraging healthy cognitive, memory, and emotional function. A blood level of vitamin B12 that is even moderately below normal can result in considerable damage to the brain and nervous system.
The time-honored method of addressing vitamin B12 deficiency is by injection; however, now with powerful nanized green tea, taking it in a liquid form can be just as beneficial and much less invasive. Vitamin B12 has been shown to be extremely safe and nontoxic even in high doses.
Folic Acid — the folate form
Imagine eating 2 heads of lettuce, 3 apples, 5 bananas, and 7 carrots every day to try to get the minimum requirement of folate (400 micrograms). Yet folate is an essential part of the daily diet.
Women of child-bearing age are now being urged to increase their folate intake in order to help prevent neural tube defects and spina bifida in infants.
In addition, adequate levels of folate have been associated with lower levels of homocysteine in the blood (homocysteine is considered a risk factor for serious heart and immune problems).
Vitamin B6 — the pyridoxal-5-phosphate form
Like folate and B12, vitamin B6 has also been associated with lower levels of homocysteine. In addition, vitamin B6 is well known in this computer age for its role in relieving carpal tunnel syndrome, the weakness, numbness, tingling, and pain in wrists and arms caused by repetitive motion.
In his book, Vitamin B6 Therapy, J.M. Ellis, M.D., explains how insulin resistance (elevated blood-glucose levels now at crisis proportions in the U.S. due to eating refined sugars and grains) causes reduced blood levels of B6 which then lowers both pancreatic and circulating insulin levels.
Vitamin B5 — the coenzyme A form
Best known as pantothenic acid, vitamin B5 was discovered by Dr. Roger Williams. B5 has long been considered the “anti-stress” vitamin for its role in helping balance adrenal gland function and thus, help us cope better with the stressful situations life has to offer.
In his book, The Vitamin Revolution, Michael Janson, M.D., says that insufficient amounts of pantothenic acid can lead to fatigue, mood imbalances and sleep concerns.
Until now, only the inferior form of vitamin B5, d-calcium pantothenate, was available. Now for the first time in history, Dr. Robert Marshall has developed the superior end-chain form of B5 coenzyme A in a stable form along with the high powered derivative acetyl coenzyme A. No other product on earth can deliver this form of B5!
Vitamin B3 — the no-flush form, inositol hexanicotinamide
Vitamin B3 helps improve blood circulation by dilating arteries, especially important in the extremities and brain. The vitamin is a key factor in metabolizing carbohydrates, boosting energy, and maintaining a healthy brain and nervous system.
Vitamin B2 — the riboflavin-5 phosphate form
Vitamin B2 is important in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and therefore, in the creation of energy. B2 also supports eye and skin health. The book, The Natural Pharmacy, points out that B2 also helps boost athletic performance and promotes brain health.
Vitamin B1 — the thiamin cocarboxylase form
Like B2 and B3, B1 is essential for metabolizing carbohydrates, fats and proteins for extra energy boosts. B1 supports the nervous system and healthy emotional balance. Insufficient vitamin B1 can create a loss of appetite, memory and mood imbalances and sluggish thinking. Many studies show that B1 enhances the ability to learn and retain knowledge.
Inositol
Inositol is involved in immunity, liver function and cell membrane health. Inositol promotes healthy liver metabolism, skin health and heart function, according to Dr. Berkson, author of All About B Vitamins.
Choline
In 1998, for the first time, choline was classified as an essential B vitamin. Choline is important for liver function, heart health, and achieving optimal physical performance. It also helps with healthy memory and mental balance.
Biotin
Even after biotin’s initial discovery, it took nearly 40 years of research for it to be fully recognized as a vitamin. Its roles include breaking down fats, constructing proteins from amino acids, and helping to manufacture various building blocks of genes.
All Are Necessary
The entire complex of B vitamins are necessary. The B vitamins in pure food form have been shown to vastly out perform the synthetic “make believe” forms of the B vitamins. Vitamin B works when it is combined with synergistic co-factors and transporters, found only in the pure food whole-nutrient complexes.
