Research Links Low Vitamin D to Nerve Pain

If you're dealing with nerve discomfort, you may have heard about the role certain nutrients play in supporting nerve health. One nutrient that’s getting more attention from researchers is Vitamin D.

A study published in Diabetic Medicine (read the abstract here) found that people with diabetic neuropathy were significantly more likely to have low levels of Vitamin D. What’s more, the individuals with lower Vitamin D levels also tended to experience greater nerve pain and reported a lower quality of life.

While researchers are still exploring the exact mechanisms, this study adds to growing evidence that nutritional status — especially when it comes to vitamins like D — can have an impact on how nerves function and feel.

That’s why it's so important to take a comprehensive approach to nerve health. Real Health Products Nerve Support Formula is specifically formulated with key nutrients like benfotiamine, methyl B12, and Vitamin D3 — each playing a unique role in supporting healthy nerve function.

Vitamin D3, in particular, has been studied for its connection to nerve sensitivity and overall nervous system health.

RHP Nerve Support products include clinically studied ingredients — all chosen for their roles in supporting nerve health, function, and regeneration. They work extremely well.

Weed killers Damage Kids' Livers, May Ruin Health

This article was written by Winston Kao, Natural Health Researcher, Inventor & Educator.

“Once upon a time, environmental activism rightly focused on chemical pollution and the need to reduce or eliminate poisons such as DDT.

“Unfortunately, the more recent fixation on carbon dioxide (which is not a pollutant) in the name of reducing "climate change" has allowed some of the worst chemical polluters to continue their toxic assault on the planet. A case in point: herbicides (weed killers).

“Research published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives reveals that glyphosate, main ingredient in the Roundup weed killer, presents increased risks of liver damage and metabolic disorders in kids.

“The liver performs many vital functions:

- Removes toxins,
- Helps maintain normal blood sugar levels,
- Breaks down fats and makes them usable,
- Prepares vitamins to be absorbed,
- Fights infections,
- Maintains proper fluid pressure,
- Rids the body of ammonia produced in the intestines,
- Creates vital cholesterol (building-block of vitamin D, enzymes and hormones).

“A total loss of liver function would result in a swift death. Partial loss of function can cause serious and lasting disease. Metabolic disorders caused by exposure to glyphosate in early life may lead to diabetes, heart disease, stroke and more.

“One area of great concern has been the explosion of both child and adult obesity in the several decades since Roundup became the #1 herbicide used in the U.S. Previous studies as well as lawsuits have determined that glyphosate causes cancer; now the metabolic impacts of this poison are coming to light as well.

“In broad testing of the general population, glyphosate has been detected in the majority of samples taken.

“As parents, you want the best for children. I can tell you this: if you're not seriously policing what your kids are eating and drinking and where they are playing and hanging out, you're placing them at risk.

- Eat organic foods whenever possible!
- Filter your water to remove glyphosate.
- Find out what your school's grounds-keeping department is using on their lawns. If they're using Roundup or any of the generic brands which contain glyphosate, raise the issue at the next school board meeting and get this eliminated.
- Do you live near a golf course? Investigate and find out what chemicals they are using. Some parents have actually moved just to get away from the poisons.

"Children (and adults) deserve better treatment than that which mainstream companies are dishing out. Open your eyes and do all you can to withdraw your support from the poison-for-profit gang."

How can a Gut and Metabolic Formula be enhanced to help Special Needs Children?

Metabolism is about how a child’s body creates energy, fights disease, and keeps them alive and thriving. It’s the system behind the scenes that controls almost everything - energy levels, hormones, heart health, and even the brain.

With Special Needs children it is harder for their bodies to absorb nutrition due to a compromised gut. The gut wall is thus less permeable, and the blood-brain barrier is less permeable and the nutrition molecules have difficulty passing through.

ERDS™ (Enhanced Rapid Delivery System) works to enhance the nutritional formulas because it improves solubility and absorption. ERDS is a special formulation of vitamins that increases the body’s ability to absorb more of the nutrition available.

ERDS is a proven to be a safe and effective method of improving this absorption and bioavailability of poorly soluble materials. The molecules of most nutrients are too large to be well absorbed by the cells.

The extract in ERDS can make the molecules in the nutritional ingredients smaller and of a shape that is more permeable and able to pass through:

•Intestinal lining

•Blood brain barrier

•Cellular lining.

This means that when ERDS is added to any source of nutrition it increases the amount of nutritional uptake (you get more of the available nutrition into your cells) and also the speed in which the nutrition is absorbed by the body is increased.

TEKNON includes ERDS™ (Enhanced Rapid Delivery System).

It will essentially increase the activity and get more of the Teknon into the gut. It will be able to permeate a variety of cell membranes including the gut, eyes, mouth and skin.

In the gut, malabsorption can also be caused by the rejection of certain compounds by the cells. Teknon enhanced by ERDS inhibit this rejection, and thus improving absorption through the gut wall.

Teknon is based on scientific studies to allow the body to have natural ingredients that have been found to support an optimum metabolism.

Teknon is a natural nutritional supplement to improve metabolism and gut health. ERDS is made up of special extracts of Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin D3. Teknon also includes B1, B2, B6, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium

ERDS is part of the Teknon formula and so it increases the nutrition available from the ingredients in the Teknon formula.

[New Study] What Probiotics Are Best for IBS

Hey, it’s Dr. Martin here…

What's the most critical part of your body that doctors often ignore?

Your gut.

And most doctors forget WHAT the gut actually does and how it's different than the stomach.

As you know, your stomach plays a vital role in the breakdown of proteins and protection from yeast, mold, bacteria, and viruses. Your gut also helps digest food to get the nutrients you need to live.

But, your gut has the added job of getting all the nutrients into your bloodstream so they can circulate throughout your body.

The part that doctors forget, your gut MUST keep the bad stuff from getting into your blood.

Here's how it does that:

Your gut is home to over 100 TRILLION microorganisms known as the microbiome and they are the KEY to a healthy gut. The microbiome is a fancy way of saying the collection of bacteria living IN and ON your body.

Roughly 85% of the bacteria in our guts are good for us — IF we've got a healthy gut.

And that's the catch because your gut can be a nasty swamp. A breeding ground for unfriendly bacteria and other pathogens which places you at constant risk of many illnesses.

One researcher performed lab tests on more than 500 people. He found the bacteria in their guts were 85% bad and 15% good precisely the reverse of what it should be.

Why does that matter?

The "wall" of your gut, or your gut lining, is the barrier that protects the rest of your body against toxins. It is the ONLY barrier between your BLOOD system and the food you eat. You don't want CANDIDA, bacteria, parasites, undigested food, or toxins to get into your bloodstream. That's when your health is at risk.

When your gut lining begins to break down, toxins' leak' into your bloodstream and other systems of your body creating a significant health hazard. I know it's not pleasant to hear. Still, it's crucial for you to fully realize: that CANDIDA, bacteria, parasites, undigested food, and tiny pieces of poop (gross) are leaking into the rest of your body through a soft, porous gut lining… wreaking havoc on the rest of your body!

Your gut also represents almost 80% of your immune system and is connected to EVERY SYSTEM in your body. Researchers have proven a DIRECT connection between your gut and your skin, BRAIN, lungs, joints, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and even your emotions!

Yet, doctors rarely talk about the connection between a bad gut and autoimmune issues or even something as obvious as a bad gut and chronic skin conditions like eczema.

The truth is most doctors only consider the gut a problem if there's actual gut pain involved. Even then the only recommendations given to the patient are to help alleviate the symptoms…Not fix the gut.

As a result, people are left to figure out what's happening and struggle with their symptoms for too long.

Now even if you have gut pain, abnormal bowel movements, bloating, gas, fatigue. It can take YEARS and many medical tests to figure out what's happening. When I was in clinical practice I was amazed at how long it took people to get diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by their doctor.

Now, IBS can affect people differently, but pain and cramping are the most common symptoms. Someone with IBS has messed up bowels… they have diarrhea, constipation… or both. Many with IBS have terrible bloating and gas.

IBS can affect every aspect of your life.

Sadly, most of the time, a person will come to the IBS diagnosis on their own after spending a lot of time on google.

I've found that when your bowels get 'angry' (that's how I describe it), everything you eat will make them mad. And when your bowels get mad, anything and everything will cause PAIN, BLOATING, GAS, DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION, etc.…

This is why it can be difficult and frustrating to figure out what's happening. Many with IBS were told to "live with it." Well… let me tell you… you don't.

At this point, even the most 'mainstream' doctor would agree that probiotics are essential to gut health. They might even recommend probiotics to someone with a lot of digestive symptoms.

Here's the problem: Not all probiotics are created equal especially when it comes to fixing IBS.

A new study…"Evaluating the Efficacy of Probiotics in IBS Treatment Using a Systematic Review of Clinical Trials and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis" looked at all the different strains of probiotics to see which ones work best for IBS. After analyzing 104 clinical studies from 2011 to 2021, the researchers found that probiotic formulations based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus had the best results for quality of life, bloating, and abdominal pain.
