Q: Dr. Ettinger

I have been mixing your Liquid Power Multi V with your Goji Fusion – at a ratio of 1:2 respectively.  Is it OK to mix these and take them together?  If so, could I also add in liquid Acai Max?  Would it be OK to mix the three items?

Thanks

Robert Griffin

A: Robert,

Yes, it is perfectly okay. Enjoy!

Later the same day: P.S. I definitely sense there’s something about your products (the one’s I’ve tried) which sets them apart from other similar products. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. Please don’t fall into the trap of compromising to make more money. So many companies turn greedy and ruin themselves in the long run that it’s become an epidemic. Keep up the great quality!

Take care

Question: Hello Dr. Ettinger,

I have used the California Academy of Health Products for many years.  I love them and will continue using them.

However, my question is about another company’s products.  Have you heard of Rain Nutrition?  They are selling products called Soul (antioxidant liquid) and Pure (probiotics with some special patented coating).  I am not sure these products are as great as they say.  They seem kind of expensive too.  I was just hoping that maybe you could tell me your opinion on them.  The website is www.rainnutrition.com

Thank you,

Cathy

Answer: Catherine,

Rain is a multi-level-marketing company.  I don’t need to look at the products because, as far as I am concerned all MLM’s are semi-legal pyramid schemes, with inflated prices and marginal products.  My recommendation is to stay away and tell your friend (just guessing) who recommended you these products, thanks but no thanks. Keep your hard earned money.

Our Liquid Power Multi-V and Probiotic FloraHealth are dynamite products and they’re what I uses in my practice, for a probiotic and liquid antioxidant. I’d stack the above two products up against Pure and Soul any day of the week, in quality, price and effectiveness.  Just my professional opinion from 21 years in the nutrition and holistic medicine business.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Marcus Ettinger BSc, DC

Response Back: Thanks Dr. E

I really appreciate your help.

I already use the Liquid Power but I will add the Probiotic FloraHealth.  Is the probiotic something you take on an on-going basis?

My Response: Catherine,

One a day is perfect. Basically, we have two immune systems. One in the intestines and then the rest of the body. If we keep an abundance of healthy flora throughout our life-time, we are less likely to develop any bad condition in the intestines and our overall immunity will be higher. The key to Probiotic FloraHealth is that it’s enteric coated, meaning it opens up in the small intestine rather than the stomach. That way all the good stuff goes exactly where it’s needed and not inactivated in the stomach. There IS no better type coating. Here is What Rain says, “Rain Nutrition’s probiotic, PURE, uses patented BIO-tract® technology which protects our product from the harmful effects of stomach acids so that the good flora and beneficial organisms will survive until they reach the GI tract where they will go to work on cleansing and strengthening.”

Their all hype and price, and it’s exactly what we have at a WAY CHEAPER PRICE. As I said, MLM’s are all hype and no substance. Why else would someone pay $45 for a product that they could buy elsewhere for $15. It’s the 7 levels of down-line commission added in, not that it’s a better or more unique product.

Pure glucose serves as a reference point, and is given a Glycemic Index (GI) of 100.

Multivitamins may fortify children against food allergies:

At first glance, it appeared that daily supplements of multivitamins did not have any effect on allergic disease in eight year old children, says a new study from Sweden. Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists from the world famous Karolinska Institute report that multivitamin supplements had no effect on the incidence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, or atopic sensitization in 2,423 eight-year olds. However, when the scientists limited their analysis to children who started supplementation before the age of four, there was a 39 per cent decrease in the risk of sensitization to food allergens. “Our results show no association between current use of multivitamins and risk of allergic disease but suggest that supplementation with multivitamins during the first years of life may reduce the risk of allergic disease at school age,” they concluded.

Awesome products and super fast shipping. They seem very willing and eager to help if you have any questions or special needs (though I haven’t had any yet… their online order form is easy to use, their product is “fresh” and they ship out quickly before I even have time for any questions or problems to come up). I have been taking their Liquid Power multivitamin for almost 2 months now and already feel an improvement in energy level & vitality & focus. It’s the best tasting liquid form vitamin I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried quite a few because I don’t like swallowing pills. The taste is not just tolerable, it’s actually good! I can’t find this product anywhere else so I’m happy that it’s a good price and a good company to deal with here.

Question: I have used your multivitamin formula (Liquid Power) for a year. I have recently been going to a Dr. who uses Metagenics. She uses them because they are controlled formulas. I have an overgrowth of candida and have wondered if the concentrated fruits are not good for me.

Answer: Jerry,

Liquid Power will not have an influence either way, as far as candida goes. Even if you avoided all overt sources of sugar, sugar (glucose) will still be present in the blood and cells. 2/3 of almost all the foods we eat convert to sugar. The only reason to change your diet (avoiding overt sugar) is if your diet (sugar) affects the way you feel. As far as supplements go I like: Thorne Research – SF722, Now Foods – Probiotic Defense Powder and Ecological Formulas – Monoalurin 600mg caps. It’s a combination I have used for years. If you can get a prescription from your MD, 6 – 150mg Diflucan’s  (1 per week for 6 weeks), you could really jump start the program. This is just my take on the situation and in no way a treatment recommendation.

Question: I have:  Fibromyalgia, stent implant in my heart, degenerative disc disease and COPD….which products would you recommend without one possibly canceling out the other….Have used the Noni Juice off and on with efforts to get back on….tired, in pain, and no energy are not elements to a quality lifestyle…am on a fixed income so can not afford much but need something which may make life a little more worthwhile.  Any recommendations as per your product use?

Thanks,

Answer: Louise,

The best I can do in this forum is to recommend my favorite all around product, Liquid Power. It is as complete a product you will find anywhere. It is vegetarian and hypoallergenic and my clients love it.

Dr Ettinger,

I have a question on your Ultra Supreme Greens. I wanted to know does it make you go to the washroom at all. It just seems like since I’ve been taking it, that I’ve really been going. Is that normal do you know?

Thanks,
Tracy

Tracy,

CAOH’s Ultra Supreme Greens can have that effect on some people. The ingredients in our Ultra Supreme Greens will cause the body to work more efficiently thus it will clean house more thoroughly thus your organs of elimination will be working more. Believe me it’s a good thing.

Sincerely,
