Nutrients needed to heal after joint surgery

Question: Hey,

I’m an avid bike racer and have been using the CAH liquid multivitamin for some time now.  Great product. I had the misfortune of tearing up my labrum on the right shoulder and jut returned from surgery, which went well.  I’d like to know what supplements or nutritional items could be helpful in speeding and ensuring a full and strong recovery. Would you be able to make some recommendations or point me to a few things tat may be helpful?

Many thanks!

Ben

Answer: Ben,

I’ve had two shoulder surgeries and one knee surgery due to motocross injuries – I have become quite informed about what it takes to heal back to pre-injury status . The key to recovery, nutritionally speaking is: whey protein @ 1 scoop, tons of vitamin C & rutin (I love our formula – Power – C @ 4 per day), and if you are taking our Liquid Power, double-up for a few weeks. A product that will also be very beneficial is MSM @ 2 grams per day.

As soon as you are able to move your arm, get a Theraband and use it everyday. Here is a great exercise instruction sheet.

Good luck,

Whey Protein and Lactose Intollerance

Q: HI, I am confused about all the protein isolates in the market, some say isolated protein others not, and some say lactose free others not, how it can be lactose free if came form the cheese, can you explain for me the difference between yours and the ones in the market on the regular food stores.

Thanks

Andrea
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

A: Andrea,

Whey Protein Isolate is the purest form of whey protein and the since it’s 100% protein it doesn’t contain sugar (lactose). A lactose sensitive person CAN have whey protein. A (dairy) sensitive person is usually sensitive to the casein (milk) protein, not the lactose. I have used whey isolate in my practice for almost 20 years and only the most dairy intolerant people can’t take it.

I only recommend whey as a protein supplement because it also contains immunoglobulins (immune boosters) plus it’s an amazing L-glutathione (immune) booster.

If you are looking for a top-notch whey protein powder, ours is great.

Liquid Weight Loss – NEW FORMULA!!!

Liquid Weight Loss™ is a nutritional supplement containing Hydrolyzed Collagen, an easily digested and assimilated protein. The collagen protein in Liquid Weight Loss™ (LWL) helps to support the body’s ability to maintain lean muscle tissue, which in turn can facilitate fat loss. In addition, LWL contains Chromium, an important cofactor for carbohydrate utilization, as well as Carnitine, which is an amino acid that is necessary for lipid oxidation. In providing the body with the nutrients needed to utilize fats and sugars more efficiency, LWL can help to maintain a healthy body weight.

Zija Product Comparison

Q: I have an 18-year old who has a “bruised” disc in his back.  A friend of mine suggested giving him a product called Zija which has a produced called Moringa in it.  I tried it and my son seemed to feel better.  While I’m not sure if this is a “cure” for the problem, does CAOH have something comparable to address this problem?  The injury was occurred playing football.  Thanks.

A: Lodgie,

If that product helped than it was the antioxidant properties in it that created the anti-inflammatory and/or healing reaction. If that’s the case than Absolute Acai, Absolute Goji Powder and Herbal Arthritis and Joint Formula  should really help.

Sincerely,

Whey Protein Questions

Hello, A customer, Delores Mobley has a few questions on our Whey Protein, can you help her with these questions?

She wants to know what the difference is between cross flow microfiltration and unfiltered. Cross-flow microfiltration produces the highest level of undenatured protein available among Whey Protein Isolates. It’s a delicate process which comes quite close to the protein concentration levels of ion exchange, while keeping the valuable “extras” that ion exchange discards.

Instead of using destructive chemicals, cross-flow microfiltration uses filters to separate protein from undesirable fat, cholesterol and lactose, based on molecular size and shape. The low-temperature process isolates the native protein of whey at its biologically natural pH, carefully preserving its biological activity and the immune-boosting components remain intact.

Unfiltered is just that, it’s unfiltered

She also wants to know how much of the albumen serum is in it. That is not measured as a separate component in any whey protein.

Lastly, she wants to know how much fructose and why is there fructose and stevia? Close to 5 grams per serving. Why, because without it, it tastes bad.

Liquid Anti-Aging Therapy

Question: How can I benifit from this supplement how long before you can tell it’s workinmg for your body? Let me know your take on this product looking for more energy too.

Thank you,

Heidi

Answer: Heidi,

Great questions!

How can I benefit from this supplement? This product supplies the body with the building blocks needed to support all tissue growth/repair and hormone facilitation.

How long before you can tell it’s working for your body? That’s hard to say, it’s very much up to the individual. Age, lifestyle, genetics, diet…, all play in this. My recommendation would be to commit to taking this product no less than 9 months. Most organ cells have a lifespan of about nine months, so taking it for 1-2 months only and using that as a gauge, would be doing yourself and the product an injustice.

Let me know your take on this product, I am looking for more energy too? Again, depending on diet, lifestyle… you may or may not gain more energy. I have tons of energy already, so I probably wouldn’t feel an increase. If I had chronic fatigue and took this, I most likely would notice a difference.

I hope this answers your questions satisfactorily.

Sincerely,

Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc.

Lift Weights, Stay Young

Resistance training turns back the clock – literally making muscles younger through regular workouts, new research by an Australian scientist shows.

Californian-based genetic scientist Simon Melov found that light weight training rejuvenated the muscle tissue in a group of elderly people to a level similar to a group of young people who did not lift weights.

Dr. Melov, who is originally from Sydney, said people generally lose about 1 percent of their muscle strength per year beginning at 40.

In the US, muscle atrophy functionally debilitates 7 percent of adults over 70 and up to 20 percent over age 80.

Health issues related to muscle atrophy costs the US health system an estimated $22 billion annually.

“It’s all very well and good to be told, ‘if you exercise it’s good for you’,” he said.

“It’s another thing to be told, ‘if you exercise you’re actually rejuvenating your muscle and it’s making you literally younger’.

Comment:

“The body remodels as a direct result of the effects produced by the physical, nutritional, and emotional stresses or influences it is subjected to.”

This Law is absolute and can be applied to the presence of or absence of physical, nutritional, and mental stresses or influences. Original quote from a lecture I gave at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic 1989

The harsh truth is this; look in the mirror with your clothes off and take an honest, long look at what you see? Is it how you were hoping to look at this point in your life?

What you see in front of you, right now, is EXACTLY WHAT YOU CREATED – KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY.

Remember it is a law so it works 100% of the time.

My Nutritional Supplement Program

Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc.
Chief Science Officer (CSO)
California Academy of Health

Almost on a daily basis In get an e-mail or asked, “what supplements do you take and why?” After 18 years of supplement formulation, having a large holistic medicine practice and studying just about every supplement on the planet I have narrowed it down to a few core products. This is the base to almost every nutritional program in my practice. When I came to California academy of Health I brought these core products so everyone could have them. Here are my core supplements and why I take them (this list is in order of importance). The statements below have not been evaluated by the FDA and are merely my personal thoughts and opinions. These statements are not meant as a substitute for seeking medical attention for a specific body problem.

Whey Protein Powder: Proteins are essential parts of all living organisms and participate in every process within our cells. Protein is also what makes up our muscles, immune system, internal organs, hair, nails, skin, and connective tissue. Whether your body resembles a brick house, stick house or straw house is determined by the level of protein in your body. When a client comes in for a consultation with weak nails, poor hair growth, a weak immune system, and/or low energy, I always know they are deficient in their intake of (quality) protein. I usually take one scoop a day (25gr. Protein) but two a day on the days I am working-out in the gym.

Liquid Power: This is my insurance policy! – all the vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients, antioxidants, and on and on…. I would need a to write a book to express all the reason why I feel a whole-food multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is so important. Liquid Power is 100% vegetarian, there are no stimulants; it contains no soy, corn, wheat, artificial colors or sweeteners. I give it to my two year old daughter, Maile, and she loves it.

Super Power Enzymes: Digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas and hydrochloric acid produced by the stomach begin to decrease with age, making it more difficult to digest and metabolize the nutrients (or lack of) from the food we eat. Mixing carbohydrates with proteins also make digestion more difficult. The solution is to support the body with a broad spectrum digestive aid. I have personally taken this product with 99.9% of every meal since 1993. Digestive enzymes are also a large component in alternative cancer treatments.

Ultra Supreme Greens: Again I would need a book to do this justice. Chlorophyll is a purification substance, it’s an alkalizing substance, it’s a natural body deodorizer – from the inside-out. In a nutshell acidic bodies are bad, they facilitate all forms of degenerative disease to form, progress, and spread. Alkaline bodies promote health and innate (from within) healing. Ultra Supreme Greens also contains many other beneficial phytonutrients and antioxidant components.

Lecithin Granules: Nervous (brain, nerves, and spinal chord ) and circulatory (in the blood) lecithin is produced by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation (oxidation is a bad thing – it’s what makes nails rust). The way I describe it to my clients is that without lecithin, as we age, our brain or skin goes from a soft juicy plum to a hard dry prune. That is one of the mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s – dehydration of the brain, but instead of water it’s phospholipids (Lecithin).

Ultra Omega 3, 6, 9: Essential fatty acids are not produced within our body, they must be obtained from dietary sources and our body can’t fight inflammation without them. Since the early part of the last century we have processed out almost all EFA’s from our food. Inflammation is one of the primary components of almost every disease (cancer, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, allergies, etc….) Vioxx, Celebrex, Prednisone, Voltaren, Sulfasalazine, Motrin, Aspirin, and many other prescription medications have done little to curb the tide of this epidemic. Only by adding EFA’s back to the diet will we as a society begin to see a decrease in inflammatory related diseases.

Lastly, Just because I take nutritional supplements doesn’t mean I can slack-off on my intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. My wife being a personal trainer and diet consultant makes sure we eat a low carbohydrate, low fat diet, high fruit and vegetable diet. I am 42.5 years of age, I have never had to take a medication and have not stepped foot in an MD’s office since I was 5. I attribute this to my nutritional supplements that I started taking at 19, eating a clean diet, and exercising daily.

Health is really something almost everyone can have. All one needs are the right ingredients, knowledgeable coaches, a goal, and putting in the effort to achieve that goal.
