What to Look for in a Dietary Supplement

Whole Food. The Body BEST recognizes whole food or whole food sourced dietary supplementation. The body KNOWS what to do with food, and it readily assimilates and utilizes foods. Synthetic nutrients formulated in a lab are no comparison to a spectrum of naturally occurring phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids etc. which are found in abundance in whole food dietary supplements.

Liquid Form. When a whole food dietary supplement is in a liquid (ionic) solution, up to 98% of the nutrients are available for absorption and utilization by the body. On page 1542 of the Physicians Desk Reference (considered to be the medical 'Bible') it shows that vitamins and minerals in pill form are only 10% to 20% absorbed by the body. This means for every $100 you are spending for nutrients, you are literally flushing about $80 to $90 of it down the drain.

Natural and Complete. Of the the many whole food sources of nutrients available Sea Vegetables are the most mineral and vitamin rich plants on the planet. Liquid seaweeds actually contain more vitamins and minerals than any other land vegetation. This is because the nutrients are pre-digested by the plants an in an ionic state. This makes them highly bio-available due to the similar saline composition of our body's fluids. This allows for immediate use at the cellular level to rebuild the body.

Whole Food Dietary Supplements are SAFE. They are the vegetables in your diet... a vital part of your grocery budget. For pregnant women a whole food product is the best prenatal supplement she can use. Dietary supplements in liquid whole food form may also increase the efficiency of diets, medicines and herbs, while reducing the time required to achieve desired results.

Minerals play a Vital Role in Wellness. So how do Minerals exist in Nature? Minerals exist in essentially two forms, organic and inorganic. Since humans are "organic beings" organic minerals are far preferred by the body. Inorganic minerals can be used, but must be converted to organic usually by a "chelation process". Chelation attaches an organic carrier so that it can be transported through cell walls. Excellent chelating agents include organic acids such as amino acids and orotic acid.

Why Sea Vegetables? With the passage of untold millenia, vast amounts of life-sustaining minerals have washed into the sea. In the process of converting sunlight to energy, sea vegetables reabsorb these nutrients and organically bind them in an ionic state. In contrast, modern farming practices have depleted our soils of essential nutrients, so sea vegetables are far superior to land vegetables. Additionally, minerals that are toxic in their natural state, such as iodine, arsenic and aluminum are neutralized by the sea vegetables making them beneficial and harmless. For example, iodine in its pure form is poisonous; however, in its ionic form it creates an essential nutrient for health.

When and Where should they be Harvested? Sea vegetables should be harvested only when fully-ripened, and from the pristine waters of the Arctic from what is referred to as the "Regeneration Zone" hundreds of feet below the surface. Free from herbicides, pesticides and heavy metal contamination, these areas are in a constant state of nutrient enrichment.

Blending with Aloe Vera. Blending sea vegetables with Aloe Vera juice would add to the nutritional value of the dietary supplement. Aloe Vera should be whole leaf, cold processed Aloe Vera juice that is certified by the International Aloe Science Council and rated Kosher for purity. A recent survey found that Aloe Vera is the most popular organic remedy on Earth. One prominent physician suggested, "If Aloe Vera were to be discovered today, it would be hailed as the wonder drug of this century". Mounting research agrees that Aloe Vera has powerful healing and soothing properties. This recognition is largely due to its ability to clean morbid matter from the stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder and small intestines.

Black Cherry and Honey are also a source of rich nutrients. Black cherry has been shown to reduce uric acid levels in the body, while bee honey is an excellent source of B complex vitamins, royal jelly, propolis and pollen.

Why Dietary Supplements?

Why Dietary Supplements?

1. Overwhelming Evidence of the Need for Nutritional Supplementation.
   The US Senate Document #264 and the 1992 Earth Summit Report document an 85% mineral depletion of our farm and range soils, over the past 100 years in North America. Based on the above percentages, the grasses deficient in minerals and vitamin content and therefore we are also mineral and vitamin deficient in all the foods we eat.
   
   
   
2. Startling Farming Methods. Fruits and vegetables are cultivated using chemical fertilizers, pesticides and waste contaminants. Harvested prematurely and artificially ripened, they are then sprayed, processed, radiated and coated with toxic chemicals to improve their appearance and prolong their shelf life. Actual nutritional values for land vegetables are highly questionable.
   
   
   
3. Frightening Livestock Production Practices. Beef, poultry and pork are loaded with antibiotics, hormones, steroids, drugs and toxic chemicals to reduce the risk of disease in overcrowded pens and to increase yield. These substances accumulate in our bodies, interfere with normal body functions, trigger abnormal immune responses, and are often carcinogens. As well, the "transfer" of antibiotics from animals to humans is resulting in bacteria and viruses that have adapted to antibiotics, thus reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics taken by humans.
   
   
4. Alarming Increase in Immune System Disorders. Over the past 5 years, the incidence of immune system disorders has increased more than 20%
   
   
5. Hectic Lifestyles. Stress, pressure, jobs, finances, family, crime, taxes, divorce... all rob us of vital energy and essential nutrients.
   
   
6. Overweight. Studies suggest that as many as 60% if North Americans are overweight. Excess weight is a major cause of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.
   
   
7. Fatigue and Lack of Energy. Doctors report that the number one health complaint is extreme fatigue and lack of Energy.
   
   
8. Bowel Irregularities. Stagnating waste poisons every organ of the body, making life miserable.
   
   
9. Environmental Pollution. The air we breathe and the water we drink are highly contaminated.
   
   
10. Substance Abuse. Alcohol, tobacco and drugs all have horrible side effects

Our flagship product, Body Balance, has been supporting health and wellness for over 24 years. This product is a unique combination of high-quality Aloe vera and our proprietary blend of nine sea vegetables; SeaNine. We have combined these products in a great-tasting, cherry-flavored, liquid whole-food supplement.

Aloe Vera
There is a very impressive array of scientific research on Aloe vera and its health-promoting properties. As a topical solution, it is well known for its ability to promote healing for cuts and burns. Internal consumption provides antioxidants, including vitamins A and C.

There is ample research to support its use for:

• immune system support
• digestive health support
• promoting general health and wellness
• increasing the bioavailability of other nutrients in the digestive tract

Life Force buys only the best Aloe vera. Our particular product is only supplied to Life Force and not to any other company. It is sourced from the inner leaf of the Aloe plant where the highest quality Aloe vera gel comes from. Our Aloe is grown according to the principles of organic agriculture (no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers) at the base of a volcanic mountain in Mexico. These fertile fields are full of trace minerals important for our health and wellness.

Our Aloe carries the certification of the International Aloe Science Council (IASC), so you can be sure that it has been independently tested for its authenticity and contains important dietary principals for maximum health and wellness. The inner-leaf gel of the Aloe plant is thought to contain important long-chain polysaccharides called mucopolysaccharides, which support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract and enhance the functioning of the immune system.

Sea Vegetables
Our SeaNine vegetable blend is a proprietary formula unique to Body Balance and not provided to any other company. Our sea vegetables are carefully harvested from pristine waters, gently dried and ground to a fine, high-quality powder that is blended with Aloe vera.

Sea vegetation has been known for centuries to contain many trace minerals that are difficult to get from land plants. The sea's chemistry is similar to our blood's profiles. Our SeaNine vegetable blend includes representation from red, brown and green sea vegetables. These sea vegetables were chosen in part because of the different microclimates and depths in the ocean in which they grow, garnering a broad spectrum of nutrients from the sea.

Many sea vegetables and their extracts are being studied by scientists for their health-supporting properties. Alongside important trace minerals, such as iodine, there are also long-chain polysaccharides and other compounds in sea vegetables that are important for supporting general health and wellness.

The Japanese and other Asian cultures have been known to have up to 25 percent of their diets contain some type of sea vegetation. They live longer than most other cultures in the world, and they have more than 21,000 people that are currently over 100 years old.

The Combination
We know that this great-tasting liquid food supplement is a unique combination of high quality ingredients only available from Life Force International. Many users of Body Balance have told us of their individual stories of return to or enhanced wellness after using Body Balance. You can confidently recommend this whole-food supplement and continue to enhance people's lives and spur them on to better health and wellness.

Platinum - Enrolled by Dr. Tony Tirri

Dr. Robert Parnell was quick to admit that his downline's productivity has done wonders for getting him to Platinum. Robert needs to remember that his downline wouldn't exist if it wasn't for him - perhaps none of those people would ever know the joys of a residual Life Force check. Plus, Robert was introduced to the Life Force business while seeking an alternative

remedy for his lupus patient; who saw phenomenal results through Body Balance. This is why we refer to it as sharing, not selling. Members like Robert are on a quest to provide health answers when all people are getting are questions.

"As a single father, who does not put his kid in daycare, this is one of those nice situations where I can make my own hours and work while my son sleeps. The business goes wherever I go, so I can be a stay-at-home parent," said Robert. This proud parent also added, "My son is absolutely excelling mentally and physically. His prenatal care included Body Balance as does his current daily regimen."

"Life Force has allowed me to be home with my one-year old. And I was full passive income while I was pregnant with her," explained Allana McKinnon. "I don't even feel like I'm working. I was tired of living paycheck to paycheck, and now Life Force has surpassed my income as a yoga teacher - I foresee a lot more vacations to tropical spots! And I'll still be able to retire before I'm 40." Retiring at least 10 years before the average person obviously doesn't come without effort though, "I constantly go back to my goals, and then return to my vision; my 'why'. I've had to figure out my fears and expose them to make them less powerful. It also helps for me to tell myself that I'm offering people the most

amazing opportunity; it's an exercise I do right before I meet with someone."

Here's something to try with your next door-to-door salesperson: "I had a young girl come by selling a coupon book. She didn't look like she had much money, so I explained that I didn't want to buy her coupon book, but that I had something where she'd be able to control her income." With hard work and compassion, our m

embers can offer this opportunity to anyone!

Platinum - Enrolled by Dr. Catherine Valen

"Business is going well because my downline is fantastic," Gina Walter readily admitted. Gina has had to step back from the business due to the demand of her massage therapy business, but she has developed a strategic alliance with her downline Kim and Greg Smith. "When Kim come to me about her daughter Zoe's health ailment, I suggested getting her on Body Balance. In less than a month, Zoe improved significantly," reported Gina. Now, Gina is an open resource for Kim, "People come to me and ask to do the business, so I refer them to Kim: 'Let me hook you up with someone working with me who's very successful."

Gina recognizes that she simply can't invest full time and energy in the Life Force business, but instead of quitting, she made herself a live-lead generator, handing off warm prospects to Kim - another example of awesome teamwork. "You just need to find one person to build the business with. What I realized is if you can find someone who can see the vision, then you can make it work. Kim sees it - she's up and running. Just share the Life Force opportunity with the people you love."

"Simply put, Body Balance provides a great source of nutrition, including minerals and trace elements that help support the body."

"I am a chiropractor and I recommend Body Balance to all my patients and clients to be on for life! As well as it being one of the best formulas to continue to help their bodies stay healthy. I can't imagine any healthcare provider not wanting their patients to receive nutritional support for health. It is a baseline formula for all patients in our office and for many of the other healthcare

providers in Life Force today. It is an amazing fit for our wellness practice and we hope to get this out to as many others as possible.

"By taking the whole-food bioactive formula of Body Balance daily, we can help provide our body with what it needs to assist in assimilating key nutrients. We do not have to predict. We simply provide a healthier wellbeing!"

Juli Ferrante, RN - Coral Springs, FL

"As a Registered Nurse, I have seen many, many people suffering, which may have been prevented or lessened had that person had adequate nutrition

during their lives. Unfortunately, due to our depleted soils and the Standard American Diet (SAD), which is loaded with nutritionally empty foods, millions of seemingly healthy people right now may not be so lucky down the road. Many of these people are overweight. They are overfed with calories, but underfed with true nutrition, especially minerals and trace elements. Body Balance can help provide the body with some of these nutrients. If taken consistently over time, I believe one can have a better chance at overall good health for years to come."

"With Body Balance, a person is more likely to stick with the product since it is convenient-no mixing, and it tastes really good. It's also very reasonably priced. Body Balance is an easy way for anyone to improve their diet."

Chris Leone, D.C. - Springfield, IL

"Body Balance is so popular among chiropractors specifically because we promote wellness to our patients. Having a properly functioning spine and nervous system, and good nutrition are two of the key health issues that we deal with. We want to make sure our patients are definitely getting all the possible benefits of wellness."

We're also very aware that our food supply is so void of the proper nutrients that for our patients to be at their best, it's very difficult when they're not getting the nutrients they need to do so."

"Additionally, I found out it's another thing for the patients to get excited about, so it's another reason for them to make referrals to our office. It also allows us to help a lot more people outside our geographical boundaries. Obviously, we can easily recommend a relative that may live outside of our city to get Body Balance even when we can't help them with our hands."

Amazing Aloe

Packed within the aloe plant is a powerful punch of essential elements. The Aloe leaf alone contains over 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins.

Besides common vitamins such as vitamin A, C, D and E and minerals such as zinc, calcium, copper, and magnesium, Aloe also contains five different important enzymes.

ENZYMES IN ALOE

1. gibberellin, a growth factor that assists in healing
2. aloin, an anti-bacterial substance shown strong enough to kill the bacteria that cause tuberculosis
3. chrysophanic acid, a healing stimulator
4. polysaccharides B1-3 and B1-4 glucomannans, known for their ability to boost the immune system

To keep our bodies healthy, we need to keep our immune system strong. Studies show that aloe may have the ability to modulate macrophages, agents that "eat up" foreign cells found in the bloodstream and other tissues.

Sick Soil... Sick Food... Sick People

There is a delicate relationship between soil, plants, and health. When the soil is sick, so are the plants that grow in it and so are the people who eat the plants. Our modern cultivation process has literally replaced the once healthy "circle of life" with a "circle of sickness." We try to eat good foods, avoid unhealthy snacks, and exercise, yet many people still don't feel healthy. The bad news is that you're probably not. Our modern lifestyle has shown people can be overweight and undernourished. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that more than 50 percent of elderly individuals in the United States are undernourished. We are starving ourselves of nutrients while surrounded by food.

The good news is that there is a way to get the nutrients you need and help bring life, vigor, and enthusiasm back to your body.

Over a 10-year period, the potassium level in oats and buckwheat dropped by two-thirds. That means you need to eat three bowls of oatmeal to get the same potassium as one bowl gave you ten years ago.

Word on Synthetic Fertilizers

PARCHED, DRY SOIL, yields little plant life. But did you know that synthetically fertilized soil can be just as barren as a desert as far as nutrients are concerned?

More than 50 years ago the world was at war. Countries were fighting against each other using bombs dropped from airplanes to destroy what lay below. And what ws in those bombs? Nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium- the same three ingredients found in most modern fertilizers. While less explosive, synthetic fertilizers have been just as deadly to the soil as those bombs dropped from the sky years ago.

The 1992 Earth Summit in Brazil reported that soils worldwide were severely nutrient deficient. U.S. soil topped the charts with 85 percent of its essential nutrients and minerals depleted.

Earth and Sea - Body Balance

Body Balance from Life Force International is a liquid supplement that combines organically grown aloe vera from the land with nine different plants from the nutrient-rich ocean into a drink that helps supply the body with vitamins and minerals missing from modern food.  Body Balance contains up to 120 naturally occuring phytonutrients.  (Phyto means plant and nutrient is any substance that promotes growth within living organisms.)

Unlike most supplements, Body Balance is a whole food product. This means its ingredients have not been synthetically extracted or isolated.  Synthetic processing destroys the balance of macro, micro, and trace elements in natural products.  A whole food supplement, however, leaves the product intact just as Mother Nature intended. 

Body Balance is also an ionic liquid that is easily absorbed by the body.  Its ingredients are harvested and produced on-site to maintain complete nutritional integrity.

Mother Nature's Miracle Plant

Traditionally used for thousands of years in cultures around the globe, Aloe vera has a demonstrated history of health promotion. This single plant contains over 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 12 vitamins, 20 minerals and 18 amino acids.  Scientific studies and clinical trials have shown that Aloe vera contains many biologically active molecules, and is considered one of the most beneficial and useful botanicals on earth.  It has demonstrated many important health-supporting effects, including immune support, increasing bioavailability of nutrients and support of GI health and healthy digestion.

The Aloe vera blended in Body Balance is exclusive to Life Force. It is meticulously  grown and processed in Mexico's high-mountain volcanic land according to certified organic standards. Each leaf is harvested by hand with the premium inner fillet processed close to the fields to ensure maximum retention of the plant's health-giving properties.

The Aloe vera in Body Balance is grown and processed to USDA National Organic Program standards and certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI).  It is certified by the international Aloe Science Council for purity.  Body Balance is kosher certified by KMD.

Aloe Vera for promoting good health

Modern science has confirmed the use fo Aloe vera for promoting good health, and is just beginning to discover what Asian-wisdom traditions and natural healers have known for centuries - broad-spectrum trace minerals are just part of the rich complexity of the potential helath benefits of sea vegetables.

Body Balance is cold processed to protect delicate phytonutrients and other whole-food nutrients, and is beneficial to people of all ages.  Experience what it feels like to finally give your body the nutrients and natural support it craves for optimal health!
