<p><strong>More about PXP <a  href="http://www.bridgetbagley.com/enzacta/">here</a>, or call me at 952.473.1234 to order PXP.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This is a true story…In 1993 a businessman from Thailand by the name of Thavisith Pongprapansiri (pronounced Ta – Visit, Pong-prop-on-sear-ee, his name will soon be a common household name) invested several million dollars to start a company that would produce cereals and food products from processed rice to feed babies and children. Little did Thavisith know that what he had started would ultimately change the treatment of disease and illness and benefit the health of the world’s population.</p>
<p><span id="more-36"></span><br />
His company began producing these grain-based cereals for distribution in Europe. At the same time, the company began donating cereal products to children suffering from malnutrition. After a while, Thavisith began to receive letters and calls from parents stating that his cereals were reversing and curing their children’s malnutrition problems.</p>
<p>He returned to those areas to find amazing results. The cereal was providing the children with the proper nutrition that they were missing. For the first time, they were receiving the proper nutrients that would reverse the affects of malnutrition, a condition that is very difficult to correct.</p>
<p>Full of hope and excitement, Thavisith formed a team of scientists from Switzerland and Germany. They began to study the raw materials that went into the cereal (the grain). They found a particular strain that grew in specific areas in Thailand. The soil in these areas is very rich in organic matter. They believed that this helped the grains produce more functional nutrients.</p>
<p>Through a proprietary extraction process, the scientists found that they could stimulate human cells to produce the exact type of energy the body needs to bring metabolism back to normal. Thavisith was finding that babies eating this grain would experience improved learning capabilities. As other children began to take the grains, their immune systems became stronger and the children learned much faster.</p>
<p>His team discovered that this native strain of grain (mainly rice) would produce polysaccharidepeptides or PSP (The product is know as Alfa PXP Forte). These PSP’s were recognized by the body cells as food that is easily and immediately absorbed and assimilated. The body acknowledges these PSP’s, and it says &#034;yummy&#034;, this is good. Thavisith and the scientists spent years experimenting until they discovered a proprietary &#034;Alpha-Glycan&#034; process that would preserve the nutrients from the grain in a powder form. This powder would only work when combined with water and if consumed immediately after blending. This product is called: Alfa PXP Forte.</p>
<p>For the next six years, Thavisith traveled all over the world and was, with the help of this PSP (The product is know as Alfa PXP Forte), literally able to save thousands of lives. He didn’t just help them reverse their conditions…he helped them live!.</p>
<p>&#034;What greater gift can you give to your friends, loved ones and those you don’t even know yet?. I want to provide a healthy, natural alternative for people and give them other ways to get better to heal and be free of disease and pain and suffering.&#034;</p>
<p>Thavisith Pongprapansiri, His goal is to help the world’s population learn about this new technique of reversing the body from all kinds of illness, disease and ailments. Thavisith took the Alfa PXP Forte along with his nine years of research and proven results to one of his colleagues from the West. They wisely arranged to provide Alfa PXP Forte to <a  href="http://www.bridgetbagley.com/enzacta/"><strong>Enzacta</strong></a> as the exclusive distributor of this &#034;Miracle Product&#034;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LOS ANGELES, CA &#8212; Drug-industry investigators have uncovered documents exposing an international drug ring, operating from New York City, is behind the H1N1 swine flu fright and vaccination preparations.</p>
<p><a  href="http://www.docstoc.com/docs/11851145/Affidavit-of-Leonard-G-Horowitz" target="new">Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz</a> and Sherri Kane, an investigative journalist, have released evidence in legal affidavits that leaders of a private global biotechnology &#034;trust&#034; are behind the pandemic flu, including its origin and alleged prevention via vaccinations. Their documents, being sent by attorneys to the FBI this week, evidence industrialists are operating a crime ring within the &#034;Partnership for New York City&#034; (PNYC), and are behind the pandemic&#039;s creation, media persuasions, vaccination preparations, and health official promotions.</p>
<p><span id="more-16"></span></p>
<p>&#034;David Rockefeller&#039;s trust, that engages several powerful partners on Wall Street, including media moguls Ruppert Murdock, Morton Zuckerman, Thomas Glocer, and former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Jerry Speyer, are implicated in advancing global genocide,&#034; Dr. Horowitz wrote to FBI directors.</p>
<p>&#034;This &#039;partnership&#039; controls biotechnology research and development globally. Health commerce internationally is also controlled virtually entirely by this trust that also exercises near complete control over mainstream media to promote/propagandize its products and services for the drug cartel&#039;s organized crime. This trust, in essence, makes or breaks medical and natural healing markets, primarily through the mass media companies and propaganda it wields for social engineering and market building,&#034; Dr. Horowitz wrote.</p>
<p>Among the revelations from the Horowitz-Kane research are those linking Larry Silverstein of Silverstein Properties, Inc., and the 9-11 terrorist attacks, to the drug cartel&#039;s geopolitical, economic, and population reduction activities. Mr. Silverstein, leaser of the World Trade Center who authorized to have Building-7 &#034;pulled&#034; [detonated] is a chief suspect in the &#034;9-11 truth&#034; investigation. Silverstein is currently landlord and co-partner in the biotechnology trust founded by David Rockefeller and implicated by these new discoveries.</p>
<p>Given the unprecedented nature and urgency of these findings, Dr. Horowitz has posted his affidavit for public review on FLUscam.com, hoping wide spread dissemination will prompt governments worldwide to cease mass vaccination preparations to avoid becoming accessories.</p>
<p>&#034;The last time I contacted the FBI I warned them about the impending anthrax attacks one week before the first mailings were announced in the press,&#034; Dr. Horowitz recalled. &#034;It took them 6 months to respond. When they did, they made me a suspect in the mailings. This time I am warning the Justice Department a month before the deadliest genocide in history. I&#039;m praying they&#039;ll take kindly to my appeal for a PNYC investigation, and Court-ordered injunction, to stop the vaccinations for public protection. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When someone asks you if your asthma is under control, what do you say?  Asthma sufferers often feel that their asthma is controlled if they can manage attacks with an inhaler.  But true control involves preventing attacks in the first place, not treating them once they occur.</p>
<p><span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p>Allergies and asthma do not always go hand in hand, but many people suffer from both of them.  Most asthma sufferers have specific triggers that provoke their attacks.  Those who have allergies also experience symptoms in conjunction with certain triggers.  In some cases these triggers are unavoidable, but we can often reduce them as long as we know what they are.  Here are some ways that we can stop allergic reactions and asthma attacks before they start.</p>
<p>* Pay attention to the circumstances surrounding your asthma attacks.  What do they have in common?  Making a note of these things can help you determine what is causing the attacks, and that is the first step in avoiding them.</p>
<p>* Avoid common triggers such as smoke and strong fumes.  These are some of the things that often instigate asthma attacks, so it is best to stay away from them as much as possible.</p>
<p>* Stay indoors when pollution and pollen levels are high.  Going out when there is an overabundance of these things in the air can be asking for trouble.</p>
<p>* Get rid of dust in your home.  Use an air purifier, and keep your home as clean as possible.  Vacuuming with a regular vacuum cleaner may make things worse, though.  Clean with water as much as possible.  This traps the dust so that it can&#039;t fly, keeping it out of your nose.</p>
<p>* Keep pets outside.  Pet hair, feathers, dander, and even saliva can cause allergic reactions in susceptible people.  It is advisable to keep all pets except fish out of the homes of allergy sufferers.</p>
<p>* Don&#039;t give mold a chance to grow.  Mold loves damp places, so make sure that there aren&#039;t any in your home.  This can be accomplished by running a dehumidifier and making sure that damp areas have plenty of ventilation.</p>
<p>* Make sure that cockroaches feel as unwelcome as possible.  These are frequent allergy and asthma triggers.  Eliminating clutter and sources of food and water will prevent cockroaches from finding the things they need to survive in your home, and they will be forced to look elsewhere.</p>
<p>Medication is crucial to most allergy and asthma sufferers.  It can help them avoid experiencing symptoms, and it can help stop them when they do occur.  But it is also important to exercise control over environmental triggers in order to control these ailments effectively.  Whether you have allergies, asthma, or both, these tips can help you breathe easier.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are all sorts of skin treatments on the market today.  Many have ingredients that are difficult to pronounce, much less understand what they do to our skin.  With all of the different products that are out there, it is surprising to some that Vitamin A is one of the best things available for skin of virtually any type.</p>
<p><span id="more-12"></span></p>
<p>Using Vitamin A in any form is great for your skin.  It can help clear up acne and get rid of fine lines and wrinkles.  It keeps the skin supple and aids in the repair of sun damage.  In many cases, simply making sure that you&#039;re getting enough Vitamin A in your diet can dramatically improve your complexion.</p>
<p>Many fruits and vegetables contain Vitamin A.  Here are some of the best sources:</p>
<p>* Carrots<br />
* Spinach<br />
* Apricots<br />
* Papaya<br />
* Mango<br />
* Peaches<br />
* Red peppers</p>
<p>If you eat a balanced diet, it is fairly easy to get enough Vitamin A each day.  But if you do not, it might be a good idea to take a Vitamin A supplement.  Not only is this good for your skin, it can also help your body fight off infections and produce cells.  It can improve night vision as well.</p>
<p>Topical Vitamin A</p>
<p>In addition to taking Vitamin A internally, many people use skin creams and gels that contain the nutrient.  Some are available over the counter, while others require a prescription.</p>
<p>Retin-A is one of the most recognizable types of topical Vitamin A.  Primarily used for the treatment of acne, Retin-A is available only by prescription.  It works by increasing the quality of skin cells in the dermis.  Retin-A is also prescribed for those with fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.</p>
<p>A variety of topical Vitamin A preparations are available without a prescription.  They are most often used to treat signs of aging, but may also be used for skin disorders such as psoriasis and warts.  Some are available in gel form for those with extremely oily skin.</p>
<p>Side Effects of Vitamin A</p>
<p>Vitamin A is generally very safe as long as you do not overdo it.  But it can produce some unwanted side effects.  It can dry out the skin, and this can be particularly bothersome for those who had dry skin already.  It also makes the skin more sensitive to the sun, resulting in a higher incidence of sunburn and sun damage.  Using a good sunscreen can help prevent sun-related problems.</p>
<p>Overall, the potential ill effects of Vitamin A are overshadowed by its tremendous benefits for the skin.  It is one of the few things that work well for both acne and wrinkles, and it is also useful in the treatment of many other skin problems.  By getting plenty of Vitamin A in your diet, and adding topical treatments if needed, you can keep your skin looking beautiful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many years, vaccinations were an accepted part of life for children and their parents.  The government mandated them, and few people argued.  After all, they were considered the most effective tool in stopping the spread of a number of horrible diseases.</p>
<p>Vaccination has practically eradicated several diseases that were once quite common.  But in recent years, there has been mounting evidence that vaccinations can be harmful to children.  This has led to public outcry, and a growing number of parents are now refusing to have their children vaccinated.</p>
<p><span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p>Vaccines and Autism</p>
<p>One of the most prevalent arguments against vaccines is their reported link to autism.  Autism cases have increased at an alarming rate over the past decade.  Although vaccine manufacturers deny it, many experts believe that this rise in autism is closely linked to childhood vaccinations.</p>
<p>There are two issues regarding vaccines and autism.  The first is the use of thimerosal, a preservative used in vaccines that contains mercury.  The use of thimerosal was once allowed in vaccines, even though the mercury in it is a neurotoxin.  It is believed that vaccinations given between the late 1980s and 2003 had levels of thimerosal beyond what was considered safe, and may have caused autism in many children.</p>
<p>The other vaccine controversy pertaining to autism involves the MMR vaccine, which does not contain thimerosal.  This vaccine contains three sets of viruses, and it is administered at an age when autism is most likely to be discovered.  It is believed that the MMR vaccine may cause autism in children who have problems with their immune systems.</p>
<p>Other Vaccine Controversies</p>
<p>Autism isn&#039;t the only problem that has been linked to vaccines.  Some opponents of vaccines in their current state believe that they cause healthy cells to mutate.  This can cause the immune system to attack them, leading to autoimmune disorders.</p>
<p>Other health problems that have been unofficially linked to vaccination include brain damage, cardiovascular disease, metabolic problems, and even cancer.  Vaccines are also blamed for Gulf War Syndrome.  With all of these potential problems, it is no wonder that mandatory vaccination programs have become so controversial.</p>
<p>Do I Have to Get My Child Vaccinated?</p>
<p>Vaccines are currently mandated by law, but most states allow religious exemptions to the requirements.  Some also allow philosophical exemptions, so if you are hesitant to allow your child to receive vaccines, check your state&#039;s laws.  Also, some of the newer vaccines are optional.  It is important to know and exercise your rights regarding these.</p>
<p>Opponents to the current vaccine laws are pushing for stricter regulations and modifications to the vaccine schedule.  Some also endorse different methods of immune therapy.  These changes could result in a safer way to protect ourselves and our children against disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stress can have profound effects on our mental health.  It can cause us to lose focus, or it can trigger depression or anxiety.  It might affect our memory, and it can have a negative impact on our relationships with others.  But did you know that stress can adversely affect our physical health as well?</p>
<p><span id="more-6"></span></p>
<p>The Physiology of Stress</p>
<p>In addition to the changes that stress brings forth in our minds, it causes a number of physiological responses.  Here is how it works:</p>
<p>1.  First, we experience the stress alarm reaction.  This is commonly known as the &#034;fight or flight&#034; response.  Hormones and chemicals, including adrenaline and endorphins, flood into the bloodstream, and we experience a sudden burst of energy.  This increases our blood pressure and breathing rate.  Digestion slows down, and blood rushes to our major organs.</p>
<p>2.  Once the initial threat has passed, our bodies move into a stage called stress resistance.  The body begins to function somewhat normally again, but it is still on alert.  It begins to repair any tissue that was damaged during the initial stage of stress.</p>
<p>3.  The third stage is stress exhaustion.  This occurs when we experience ongoing stress.  This stage is where the most damage is done.  The immune system may be suppressed thanks to an overabundance of certain chemicals, and the cardiovascular system often suffers.</p>
<p>What Do These Responses Do to Our Bodies?</p>
<p>The end results of too much stress can be detrimental to our health.  The strain it puts on our cardiovascular system can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure or stroke.  We might gain weight due to changes in metabolism or eating habits.  Our immunity might become impaired to the point that we get sick more frequently.  Stress has also been known to be a major factor in the formation of many stomach ulcers.</p>
<p>Stress can also affect our bodies in ways that are less serious but rather bothersome.  It can cause headaches and body aches.  It might lead to skin breakouts.  It can affect our sleep patterns.  It can cause sexual dysfunction.  And it can make us more susceptible to allergy symptoms.</p>
<p>Health problems that we already have are often made worse by stress.  This is especially true for disorders that are connected to the nervous system, such as chronic pain, digestive problems, and bowel disorders.  If these ailments are present, excessive stress can make a bad situation worse.</p>
<p>We all experience stress.  It is a normal, unavoidable part of life.  But too much stress can cause numerous problems for us.  That&#039;s why it is so important for us to learn how to handle stress effectively.  Doing so will reduce its harmful effects on both the mind and the body.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Probiotics are one of the hottest food trends of late.  They have been in existence for a very long time, but only recently has mainstream medicine begun to acknowledge their benefits.  This has led to their appearance in a number of new food products, and an increased awareness of their natural presence in products that were already on store shelves.</p>
<p><span id="more-9"></span></p>
<p>Probiotic supplements are also increasing in popularity.  They are not, however, regulated very well.  They may not have enough beneficial bacteria in them to make a difference.  They also are not as conducive to the survival of the bacteria as food sources that contain them naturally.</p>
<p>Yogurt is one of the most recognizable sources of probiotics.  It naturally contains a substantial amount of bacteria.  But if you&#039;re counting on getting your daily dose of beneficial bacteria from yogurt, it is important to read the label.  It should contain live and active cultures in order to provide the maximum benefit.</p>
<p>Yogurt is not the only dairy product that contains probiotics.  Others include kefir, acidophilus milk and buttermilk.  Dairy products provide a good environment for friendly bacteria, protecting them from acid and bile.  Dairy foods also contain prebiotics, which are compounds that stimulate the growth and activity of probiotics.</p>
<p>Fermented vegetables are also good sources of probiotics.  Some examples of these include sauerkraut, kimchi, and curtido.  Salted gherkins and brine-cured olives contain lots of beneficial bacteria as well.  Those that are sold commercially, however, often go through processes that kill the bacteria in them.  These processes include pasteurization and the addition of preservatives such as sodium benzoate.</p>
<p>Probiotic juices are also beginning to show up in grocery stores.  They contain bacteria that have been shown to promote immunity and aid in digestion.  These bacteria are also believed to be beneficial for sufferers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.</p>
<p>Food manufacturers have begun to add probiotics to a number of foods that do not naturally contain them.  These include cereals, chocolate bars, and dairy drinks.  In some countries a variety of probiotic beverages are on the market, and there is even a brand of probiotic ice cream.  With these options becoming available in more and more places, it is becoming much easier to include probiotics in our diets.</p>
<p>The medical establishment has only recently begun to take probiotics seriously, but the studies that have been done are very promising.  Probiotics have a low incidence of side effects, and they have been shown to be good for the digestive system and bowels.  They are also believed to help prevent, and in some cases treat, many types of infection.  Including probiotics in your diet each day will not cause any ill effects, and it could significantly improve your health.</p>
