Energy Tea
PRIMARY USES: Energy, Stamina, Weight Loss, Fat loss, Health tonic, Gastric discomfort
INGREDIENTS: Green Tea, Guarana, Licorice
SUGGESTED USE: 30 drops per day or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Green tea
Antioxidant
Contain powerful antioxidants called polyphenols (catechins) and flavonols.
EGCG, contain in green tea, functions as an antioxidant that is about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E. One cup of green tea may provide 10-40 mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant effects that are greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.
Weight Loss
Promote healthy weight management by: reducing fat cell proliferation, decreasing body and fat mass, inhibiting fat absorption, lowering blood levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, and insulin.
Green tea works via several mechanisms that include boosting thermogenesis (heat production), boosts metabolic rate, inhibiting fat digestion and absorption, promoting fat burning, and boosting exercise capacity.
Increases the breakdown of fats. Human studies suggest that green tea consumption is associated with decreased body mass and body fat.
Scientists believe EGCG works by inhibiting an enzyme that degrades norepinephrine. Produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress, the hormone norepinephrine increases metabolic rate, which likely contributes to green tea’s effects on thermogenesis.
Dietary EGCG consumption reduces the gain of fat mass from increased calories.
Moderately obese adults supplemented with a green tea extract. After three months, they demonstrated a 4.6% decrease in body weight and a 4.5% decrease in waist circumference.
Guarana
Native to Brazil, guarana is taken daily as a health tonic by millions of Brazilians. It is reported to help overcome heat fatigue, detoxify the blood and is useful for flatulence and obesity. In body care products, it has been used for its tonifying and astringent properties, and in the treatment of cellulite.
Guarana is an herb that contains a form of caffeine called guaranine. What makes guaranine unique from caffeine found in beverages is its slower release. While caffeine from beverages provides a short-lived energy burst that overheats and excites the body, guarana has a cooling action that revitalizes and relaxes. This is because guarana contains other components that modify the activity of this substance. The end result is more beneficial to the body than tea or coffee.
Induces fat loss
Guarana has been shown to stimulate the migration of lipids so fat can be burned as energy.
It is an appetite suppressant.
Guarana aids in a temporary, natural increase in body temperature, metabolic thermo genesis, and metabolic rate which can induce the breakdown and release of stored body fat, thereby allowing stored fats to be turned into energy.
Other constituents of guarana are theobromine and theophylline, which are called xanthenes. They have some effect on increasing metabolic rate, suppressing appetite and enhancing both physical and mental performance. They also act as muscle relaxants and possess diuretic properties.
One weight loss study showed a 11.22 pounds loss in the guarana group compared to less than one pound in the placebo group after 45 days.
Fatigue/ Energy/ Alertness
Guarana increases mental alertness, fights fatigue, and increases stamina and physical endurance.
Prevents Blood clots
Inhibiting platelet aggregation. Prevents the formation of blood clots and to help in the breakdown of clots that had already been formed.
Caffeine and Cancer
Caffeine occurs naturally in green tea and guarana and has been shown to potentiate the anticancer effects of tea polyphenols. Caffeine can induce apoptosis of a human lung carcinoma cell by itself and it can act synergistically with radiation to induce tumor cell kill and cell growth arrest.
Caffeine enhances the tumor cell killing effects of anticancer drugs and radiation.
In advanced cancer patients was found to benefit the cognitive performance and reduce pain intensity (Mercadente et al. 2001).
In cancer cells, p53 gene mutations are the most common alterations observed (50-60%) and are a factor in both carcinomas and sarcomas. Caffeine has been shown to potentiate the destruction of p53-defective cells by inhibiting p53’s growth signal. The effects of this are to inhibit and override the DNA damage-checkpoint and thus kill dividing cells.(Sakurai et al. 1999; Ribeiro et al. 1999; Jiang et al. 2000; Valenzuela et al. 2000).
Licorice
Highly prized in Chinese medicine. It is used in almost all of the Chinese patent herbal formulas. It helps to reduce the amount of cortisone broken down by the liver, thereby reducing the workload of the adrenal glands and giving the user more energy and anti-inflammatory activity.
Licorice has shown to help with body fat reduction (Armanini et al 2002).
Licorice root has been shown to decrease serotonin reuptake by up to 60 percent, which may help alleviate depression (Ofir et al 2003).
Lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by assisting with repair of blood vessel walls and preventing hardening of the arteries (Somjen et al 2004).
Promotes the healing of ulcers. Raises the local concentration of prostaglandins that promote mucous secretion and cell proliferation in the stomach, leading to healing of ulcers.
Licorice have been shown to block the growth of H. pylori in the laboratory. May be useful for peptic ulcer or gastric cancer.
Licorice may specifically protect against ulcers caused by NSAIDs. Research has shown that coating aspirin with licorice before feeding it to rats reduced the number and size of ulcers that subsequently formed, cutting their incidence by more than half, from 96% to 46%.
Joyful
PRIMARY USES: Antidepressant, Stress, Mood Elevation, Mental Clarity, Fatigue
INGREDIENTS: St Johns wort, Rhodiola, Vitamin B6, Bach Flowers- Mustard, Wild Rose, Gorse.
SUGGESTED USE: 30 drops 2 times per day or as directed by your health care professional
St. John’s wort
Depression
A review published online by Cochrane Systematic Reviews on October 8, 2008 concluded that extracts of the herb St John’s wort are as effective for treating major depression as standard drugs.
A number of clinical trials since the 1980s have shown that the herb could be helpful for individuals with mild to moderate forms of this devastating condition, and several trials have recently evaluated the effect of St John’s wort in individuals with major depression.
Klaus Linde of the Centre for Complementary Medicine in Munich, and his colleagues at the University Medical Center in Freiburg, Germany analyzed 29 randomized, double-blinded trials which evaluated the effects of St John’s wort on a total of 5,489 individuals with major depressive symptoms. The review found that St John’s wort performed better than a placebo against major depression. In trials which compared St John’s wort extract to drugs, the extract was found to be equally effective against depression, with significantly fewer people dropping out due to adverse effects compared to those who received selective serotonin uptake inhibitors or older antidepressant drugs.
The results of 23 studies involving five thousand participants led the British Medical Journal to editorialize that: “St.John’s wort is a promising treatment for depression…Hypericum extracts were significantly superior to placebo and similarly effective as standard antidepressants…The herb may offer an advantage, however, in terms of relative safety and tolerability, which might improve patient compliance.”
Other Benefits Of Hypericum
According to the book Hypericum & Depression, the authors note that the herb “is currently being medically studied as a treatment for AIDS, several forms of cancer, skin diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, peptic ulcers, and even hangover.”
Improves Sleep
Hypericum also seems to improve the quality of sleep, a major concern in depressed patients. Early studies on subgroups of depressed populations reveal that St. John’s Wort may yield beneficial results when used as treatment for Seasonal Affective Depression (SAD) and other forms of depression.
Normalize Brain Function
St. John’s wort may increase availability of serotonin and norephinephrine.
Dr. Amen M.D., a renown brain scientist, finds that St. John`s wort raises serotonin levels, helping depression, excessive worry, anxiety, and alleviates emotional pain and suffering. On functional brain MRI scans (SPECT imaging) he finds that dysfunctional areas of the brain, including the limbic area, basal ganglia, and cingulated areas completely normalize with the herbs use.
Rhodiola
Rhodiola rosea relieves stress by balancing the body’s stress-response system. This consists of the sympathetic nervous system (which prepares the body to expend energy during crises, often described as the “fight or flight response”) and the counterbalancing parasympathetic nervous system (which recharges and heals the body, returning it to a relaxed state). With constant stress, the system becomes unbalanced, making us feel edgy, tired, or depressed. Rhodiola rosea helps re-establish balance by acting as an adaptogen—an agent that strengthens the body’s response to physical, mental, and emotional stressors.
Mental Health
Provides both “cognitive stimulation” and “emotional calming,” which lead to improvement in cognitive and memory function, as well as contributing to the long-term upkeep of brain function.
Research has also revealed another benefit of rhodiola in helping to increase attention to detail-oriented tasks by improving concentration over a prolonged period.
Fatigue
A number of studies have shown that rhodiola can dramatically reduce mental and physical fatigue.
Improves endurance exercise capacity about 25%.
As well as liberating more energy for exercise, rhodiola also helps protect muscle tissue during exercise. This effect was seen in a study of healthy untrained volunteers after exhausting exercise, in whom rhodiola extract reduced levels of C-reactive protein, an inflammatory marker, and creatinine kinase, a marker of muscle damage.
Neurotransmitters
Increases tolerance to stress by enhancing serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and natural feel-good opioids such as beta-endorphins.
Diverse Benefits
New evidence has revealed even more diverse benefits of rhodiola; including protecting the nervous system against oxidative stress, enhancing healthy sleep, lifting depressed mood, relieving anxiety, and maintaining blood sugar within a healthy range.
Bach Flowers
Gorse- Optimism and faith, dissolving hopelessness and resignation.
Mustard- Joy, dissolving depression and gloom.
Wild Rose- Joy in living, dissolving resignation and lack of hope.
Vitalize
PRIMARY USES: Vitality, Stress, Low energy, Mental focus, Fatigue, Libido, Menopause, Hot Flashes, Depression, Low testosterone, Low estrogen
INGREDIENTS: Tribulus, Mucuna pruriens
SUGGESTED USE: 30 drops 2 times per day or as directed by your health care professional
Tribulus
Tribulus terrestris is a fruit that has been used since ancient times in Greece. The herb became wide known in the West when medal winning Bulgarian Olympic athletes claimed that Tribulus contributed to their success.
Hormones
Studies suggest that tribulus increases FSH output from the pituitary gland which increases estradiol in women, and increases LH output from the pituitary gland which increases testosterone in men.
Improves fertility in men and women.
Tonic
Increases physical endurance and stamina.
Traditionally used for rejuvenation after illness.
Improves libido, impotence, and erectile dysfunction in males.
Menopause
Studies on menopausal women demonstrate improvement with symptoms of hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, and depression.
Neurotransmitters
Studies suggest tribulus may increases dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.
Cardiovascular
In patients with coronary heart disease, patients treated with tribulus improved angina pectoris, and for ECG readings of myocardial ischemia. The activity was said to dilate the coronary arteries and improve coronary circulation. (Wang B, Chung His I Chieh Ho Tsa Chih 1990; 10; 85.)
Mucuna Pruriens
Mucuna Pruriens, also known red velvet bean contains a very powerful neurotransmitter pre-cursor L-Dopa. Mucuna pruriens is a widely used herb in Ayurvedic medicine.
L-Dopa
L-Dopa is an amino acid in mucuna pruriens that builds up dopamine, nor epinephrine, and epinephrine neurotransmitters in the brain.
Increases Dopamine
Improved sleep (promotes deep sleep)
Antidepressant
Reduced bodyfat & decreased cellulite
Decreased wrinkles
Improved skin texture & appearance
Increased lean muscle mass
Improved mood and sense of well-being
Enhanced libido & sexual performance
Increased energy levels
Improved cholestorol profile
Increases Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine is an excitatory neurotransmitter that is important for attention and focus.
Increases Epineprine
Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is an excitatory neurotransmitter and hormone essential for lipolysis, which is a process in which the body metabolizes fat. Low levels of epinephrine can contribute to weight gain.
As a neurotransmitter, epinephrine regulates attentiveness, concentration, and mental focus.
Epinephrine is used medicinally as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronchial asthma, and anaphylaxis.
Commonly, epinephrine levels will be low due to adrenal fatigue (a pattern in which the adrenal output is suppressed due to chronic stress). Therefore, symptoms can be presented as fatigue with low epinephrine levels.
Growth Hormone
L- Dopa contains natural secretagogues which may support the body’s ability to stimulate the natural release of growth hormone. The blood carries the dopamine into the brain, where it naturally increases HGH production from the pituitary gland. The increased dopamine levels also optimize the production of other hormones, including testosterone, leading to increased sex drive and improved sexual performance for both men and women, beneficial in stimulating muscle growth, as well as burning fat from fat cells.
Peace
PRIMARY USES:
Emotional distress
Stressful situations
Anxiety
Panic Attacks
Tension
Irritation
Childhood tantrums
Repetitive negative thoughts
Self healing
Help process emotional issues positively
INGREDIENTS: Cherry Plum, Heather, Holly, Horn Beam, Impatiens, Rock Rose, Star of Bethlehem, White Chestnut
SUGGESTED USE: 10 drops 5 times per day or as directed by your health care professional
Medicinal Flowers
Dr Edward Bach, discoverer of the like named Bach flower remedies, studied medicine at the University College Hospital, London, and was a House Surgeon there. He worked in general practice, and as a bacteriologist and pathologist. Despite the success of his work with orthodox medicine he felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases and ignore the people who were suffering them. He was inspired by his work with homoeopathy, but wanted to find remedies that would be purer and less reliant on the products of disease. So in 1930 he gave up his lucrative medical career and left London, determined to devote the rest of his life to the new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature.
Just as he had abandoned his old home, office and work, so now he abandoned the medical model he had used up until now. Instead he chose to rely on his natural gifts as a healer, and use his intuition to guide him. One by one he found the flower remedies he wanted, each aimed at a particular mental state or emotion. His life followed a seasonal pattern: the spring and summer spent looking for and preparing the remedies, the winter spent giving help and advice to all who came looking for them. Bach thought that of illness as the result of “a contradiction between the purposes of the soul and the personality’s point of view.” This internal war, according to Bach, leads to negative moods and energy blocking, which causes a lack of “harmony,” thus leading to physical diseases. He found that when he treated the personalities and feelings of his patients their unhappiness and physical distress would be alleviated as the natural healing potential in their bodies was unblocked and allowed to work once more.
With many diseases there is an underlying emotional distress that is perpetuating the illness. Dr David Hawkins noted from his time as medical director with the Attitudinal Healing Center, that over 30,000 people with named diseases were able to reverse them by undoing negative emotional patterns and replacing them with positive ones.
The Bach flowers in Peace help people process thru their emotional burdens. Emotional distress extracts a heavy toll from our well being, affecting all aspects of our health. Use Peace for yourself and loved ones to alleviate suffering and improve emotional and spiritual growth.

Ideal Protein Diet
September 1, 2009
The Science of Weight Loss – Our Method
Cellular Nutrition is the Key
The Ideal Protein Cellular Nutrition plan was developed 23 years ago by an award winning nutrition company and Dr. Tran Tien Chanh a European-Asian Medical Doctor with a PhD in nutrition, sports medicine and biology. This is a 4-stage eating plan (or “treatment”) that helps stabilize the pancreas and blood sugar levels while burning fat and maintaining muscle and other lean tissue. This “treatment plan” is for long-term health promotion and weight control, not a merely a “diet” that leaves participants with the “Now what?” question after weight has been lost. We re-educate our clients and teach them how minor changes in their diet habits can help them to maintain their ideal weight for the rest of their lives.
Metabolic Syndrome “X”
Obesity is pandemic in our country. Our plan targets prevention and solutions for Syndrome X, also called the “metabolic syndrome.” To qualify as part of this epidemic that is steamrolling North America, adults or children need only suffer from 2 of the 4 components of the metabolic syndrome:
- 1) Obesity
- 2) Blood sugar issues (diabetes)
- 3) Cholesterol problems
- 4) High blood pressure
If you have “Syndrome X”, the facts are clear. Your health is at risk. The American Heart Association says you are at increased risk for coronary heart disease, and stroke. Medicinenet.com says you are 9-30 times greater risk for type 2 diabetes and 2-4 times greater risk for heart disease. Other health issues listed include cirrhosis, kidney disease, sleep apnea, polycystic ovary syndrome, and dementia.
If you suffer from Syndrome X, Ideal Weight Control Center may save your life.
Developed for Athletes
The plan was originally developed to secure the muscle mass of high-performance athletes and regulate their insulin levels. Dr. Tran improved the protein source of the original “protein diet” originated in 1973 by Dr. Blackburn, a Harvard University professor. Dr. Tran used this approach with athletes in Europe for over 18 years, also targeting energy and good, safe nutrition.
The Ideal Protein diet plan is focused on the pancreas, insulin production, and stabilizing and maintaining weight loss long-term. Ideal’s treatment engine is an alkalized and mineralized program made of 4 distinctive nutritional supplements.
Ideal Protein Is Only Available Thru Health Professionals.
The Ideal weight loss program is only available through trained and certified weight control professionals and utilizes natural health experts to facilitate success for even the most frustrated dieter that has “tried everything” or some troubled with blood sugar challenges. Every Ideal Weight Control Center has one or more experts to guide the dieter through the program. This valuable process serves to educate and encourage the dieters with a consistent method that is scientifically proven and deemed by most as easy to execute and maintain.
Quick Results
Although dieters are warned that the first 3 days of the sugar withdrawals can be quite tough, the small percentage that experience problems almost always hang in there for amazing results starting on day 4. Most commonly, dieters tell us about:
- Improved energy and reduced cravings, usually on the 4th or 5th day
- Dramatically improved blood sugar for the sugar-challenged, often within the first week
- Elated joy and pride early in the process
- Attainment of their goal weight
- Maintaining their goal weight, even after extended vacations from the diet
What to Expect
Based on over 23 years of experience and 5 million people in Europe, Canada, and now a large group of people in the United States, the program enables the following:
- Quick weight loss without sacrificing muscle mass
- Gaining an understanding of how food affects and is utilized by the body, including what causes fat storage
- Utilization of fat for energy usually by day 4—fat (including cellulite) that sequesters chemical toxins
- Improved energy and appetite control, reduced cravings—usually on day 4 or 5
- Improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reduced blood pressure
Proteins
The Ideal Protein instant packs contain the highest-quality proteins and are low in carbohydrates and fat with no trans fats, no aspartame and are MSG-free. Protein is the main building block in the body, is the primary component of most cells, and is essential to human life. Every cell in the body has it, including skin, hair, bones, muscle and organ tissue. It is found in the bloodstream, in hormones and in enzymes.
During digestion, protein is metabolized into amino acids, the building blocks of protein. The body uses amino acids for energy as well as to produce enzymes and other essential proteins. The body synthesizes some amino acids but it cannot synthesize (or produce) the “essential” amino acids. These essential amino acids must be consumed in the daily diet, and are found in all of the Ideal Protein foods.
Balanced Diet
The Ideal Protein Diet Plan is nothing like the typical diet that offers packaged foods. Ideal’s instant packets are NOT the common meal replacements that contain a so-called “balance” of carbohydrates, fats and protein. Consuming carbohydrates promotes insulin production thereby promoting fat storage. For a balanced diet, consuming fats is very important, but for FAT LOSS, one must eliminate most fat from the diet for the initial stage of the program. Eating a “balanced diet” prevents the proper set up of the fat loss process in the body. One of the goals of Ideal Protein treatment is to cause the body to delve into its energy reserves—into stored fat—for its energy, thereby facilitating FAT LOSS.
Additionally, by virtually eliminating all highly-refined sugars and starches from your diet, the pancreas is afforded a rest since there is no need for it to produce much insulin, which happens to be its main function.
The Pancreas
Whether or not the pancreas is working properly partly determines one’s predisposition to gain or not to gain weight. Clinical research has shown that a dysfunctional pancreas is often a key reason many people have difficulty losing weight. A properly functioning pancreas is essential to good health and healthy weight loss. A properly functioning pancreas produces the right amount of insulin necessary to regulate our blood sugar levels (or glycemia). The Ideal Protein Diet is a short-term “treatment” program for the pancreas as well as a program for fat loss.
How it Works
The typical American diet consisting of processed foods—refined sugars and starches such as bread, pasta, potatoes, snacks and sweets, etc.—overworks the pancreas. The pancreas must constantly pump out insulin to take care of all the sugar (or glucose) that makes up these foods. (Realize that a slice of bread is nothing but simple sugar; the same is true for potatoes, pasta, white rice and all other processed “white” foods, including breakfast cereals.) Example: One slice of bread has 21g of carbs, which equals 5 teaspoons of sugar.
It is important to understand that the minute carbohydrates are consumed, they are broken down into glucose in the bloodstream, and then whatever is not needed immediately for energy is swooped up by insulin, converted into fat and stored. Since it is the job of the pancreas to produce the insulin necessary to remove glucose from the bloodstream (and store it as fat), eating a high-carbohydrate diet causes the pancreas to work overtime, to eventually become worn out or dysfunctional.
A dysfunctional pancreas produces excess insulin, resulting in a drastic drop in the blood sugar level (hypoglycemia), thereby leading to cravings of more sugar. Then, more sugar is consumed and the cycle starts over. Remember, insulin is the fat storage hormone—the hormone that converts the foods you’ve consumed into stored fat. Consequently, an overproduction of insulin leads to excess fat storage.
The body gets its fuel or energy from the three macronutrient sources:
1) carbohydrates, 2) protein, and 3) fat. The carbohydrate or glycogen energy reserves are used up first, followed by our protein and fat reserves. (Glycogen is the form in which glucose is stored in the muscles and the liver.)
After approximately 3 days on the Ideal Protein Diet Plan ”treatment”, your glycogen reserves are depleted and your body begins to burn your stored fat cells for energy naturally. This results in your body producing ketonic bodies (ketones) that are a natural appetite suppressant thus preventing cravings after the first few days and providing you with energy. You will start losing weight—or fat—as soon as fat becomes your first source of energy. You will then burn fat while nourishing muscle with the high-quality, highly-absorbable Ideal foods containing the 9 essential amino acids that you consume throughout the day. Remember, muscle is the engine that burns calories every minute of every day, and by supplying your diet with this essential protein, you ensure that your muscle is not used significantly for energy.
During this time you will also reset your pancreas by giving it a much-needed rest. A properly functioning pancreas is the key to avoiding filling up your fat reserves once you have completed the “treatment” period and you return to more normal eating.
It is well known that there are certain foods as well as certain bad eating habits that cause weight gain and there are other foods and eating habits that prevent weight loss. The Ideal Protein Diet plan will guide you and support you in your quest to lose fat safely by helping you understand the difference between “eating a balanced diet” and “eating for weight loss”. And most importantly, upon reaching the final stage, you will also have learned to use the right combinations of foods within each meal to maintain your weight loss permanently.
Improve Your Health
With the Ideal Protein Diet Plan, you will not only rediscover your ideal shape, but you will also significantly improve your health. The plan is designed to work with Ideal Protein’s high-quality nutritional supplements, a unique combination that guarantees safe and healthy weight loss. These supplements are designed to ensure a nutritionally comprehensive weight loss program.
Supplementation
Supplementation is crucial to your success since you will be missing out on some important fats and other nutrients during this treatment period. The Ideal expert works with your dieter’s profile (that you will fill out) to assist you in selecting the proper supplementation for your specific issues (e.g. food allergies, digestive issues, toxicity of the liver or kidneys). The coach will encourage you to consult with your health care provider regarding any such issues.
The 4 Stages
The Ideal Protein Diet Plan allows you to lose weight with minimal effort compared to most other diets that require buying all sorts of different foods and ingredients and following complicated recipes. With the convenience of Ideal Protein instant packets, you have the option of keeping it very simple… or you may get creative if you like. Recipes are available.
- Stage 1: You start out using a packet as the basis of 3 of your 4 meals each day. You eat a low-carb, low-fat “regular” dinner. You follow this until you have reached 70-80% of your weight loss goal.
- Stage 2: You reduce the Ideal foods to 2 per day, eating 2 low-carb, low-fat “regular” meals and continue the Ideal plan until you’ve reached 100% of your goal.
- Stage 3: For weight loss stabilization, you will re-introduce moderate amounts of fats and carbohydrates to your diet for 14 days. You only have 1 Ideal packet per day with 2 other regular meals.
- Stage 4: You continue to eat the way you have been taught. By this time learned to eat in a much healthier fashion, choosing healthy foods and the right combinations of foods. As a result, you are able to maintain your ideal weight while still enjoying all the foods you like, but in moderate amounts.
