How do you protect yourself from deadly viruses and infections that are threatening your health, your family, your income, and your very life? The recent Corona Virus scare has made the public very aware of their susceptibility to the spread of viruses - but the most current feared virus being the Corona Virus. The following information will equip you to prepare - not only for the Corona Virus, but all the cold and flu viruses that are already KNOWN to kill thousands of Americans every year. As we've researched and listened to some of the most respected leaders in our healthcare profession (especially in the area of nutrition and alternative care), the following are the best recommendations that we have come up with for your protection:
As with any virus (or even bacteria or yeast), you need to prepare for the season by boosting your immune system. The best way to do this is to load up on probiotics and vitamin D. The most current research demonstrates the wider and more diverse your gut flora is populated with good bacteria - the healthier you will be. Vitamin D is a known fat-soluble vitamin for boosting your immune system, along with many other health benefits. I recommend reading an article I posted on AbundantLifeHandW.com 7/22/19: https://www.abundantlifehandw.com/blog (Scroll down to 7/19 to read article). I urge everyone to be taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily. If you are monitoring your vitamin D levels with lab work, I like to target my patients around 100 (which is higher than the RDA guidance, but the research has demonstrated these RDA guidelines are nothing more than a joke...only recommending enough to avoid serious vitamin deficiencies, such as Rickets). Learn about each product we recommend below or skip to the bottom for dosages and order information.D3 Serum, Premier Research Labs .46 oz. Key Benefits: Welcome to D3 Serum: your reliable, rich, live source for the healthiest natural vitamin D3, free of toxic tag-alongs. The one vitamin D3 source that tests on to all 4 polarities for ideal cell resonance or best health;* It's biofield is so strong, it cannot be stress-tapped off, even with 100+ stress taps. Supports many body systems including healthy bone, nerves, heart, brain, lung, esophagus, breasts, colon, stomach, pancreas, prostate, uterus, ovaries, kidneys* Studies propose ideal vitamin D3 intake should be 2000 IU/day. (I recommend a minimum of 5,000 IU/day, but optimally 10,000 IU/day) Premier Nutrients Without the Risk No magnesium stearate, a toxic oil proven to suppress the immune system No animal glandulars with toxic tag-alongs and animal death hormones No tablets with toxic tag-along binders and fillers No excipients - highly questionable (often toxic) fillers and binders, called excipients, are commonly added to nutritional products How can you get vitamin D? Vitamin D is one of the few nutrients the body needs, that does not come from a wide variety of foods. Although salmon, mackerel, sardines and tuna can deliver about 200 I.U./serving, they are not an adequate source of D3. After fortification, milk delivers only vitamin D2 - not D3, the real thing. Vitamin D2 is also added to fortified dairy products but does not function in the same way as D3. Vitamin D3 can be more than 3 times as effective as D2 in maintaining and raising vitamin D blood levels. Although vitamin D3 is more expensive to produce, it is clearly superior to D2. That’s why we only use D3 in our D3 Serum. In fact, only one specific source of D3 has met all four of our criteria: (1) it is live source, (2) has no toxic tagalongs, (3) tests onto all four polarities (for those of you who understand quantum energy testing), and (4) it tests so strong that its biofield cannot be stress-tapped off even at 100+ stress-taps. (As a point of reference, we have found that the biofield of even the best organically grown American food typically stress-taps off at only 5 stress-taps.) The body was designed to manufacture a sufficient amount of vitamin D simply by skin exposure to sunlight, which converts 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholecalciferol. Cholecalciferol in turn is hydroxylated at the liver forming 25(OH) D. At the kidneys, 25(OH)D is metabolized to the most active form of vitamin D 1,25(OH)2D3. Sadly, we as a nation do not spend much time in sunlight and when we do, our skin is mostly covered. As a consequence, most people have low levels of vitamin D3 which has initiated a ground swell of scientific research calling for increased daily vitamin D3 intake for all Americans. In 1941, the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) of vitamin D was 400 I.U./day to prevent D deficiency and rickets. Today, scientists are calling for an increase in this daily intake, recommending 1,000 to 2,000 I.U./day. They believe these levels can best provide the support for the body’s critical vitamin D needs now identified to include immunological, vascular, cognitive, mucosal and reproductive health and more. Experts now consider vitamin D3 blood levels less than 20ng/ml to be frank D3 deficiency, while 20-39ng/ml is still too low; 40-50ng/ml is considered to be reasonable but not ideal. At all of these levels, supplementation with D3 is recommended at 5,000 to 7,000 I.U./day for 6-8 weeks. Ideally, the individual would be re-tested every 3 months until their blood levels are in the ideal range (i.e. D3 levels greater than 50ng/ml but less than 60ng/ml). Some experts believe the upper limit of vitamin D intake should be 2,000 to 10,000 I.U./day.* However, when vitamin D blood levels are greater than 200ng/ml, a toxic reaction could potentially lead to hypercalcemia/ hyperphosphatemia. Hypercalcemia is rare but could be triggered by D3 intake of over 50,000 I.U./day. In published cases of vitamin D toxicity, intake was greater than 400,000 I.U./day. Common signs of hypercalcemia are anorexia, nausea and vomiting. Prolonged excessive intake could lead to calcification of the kidneys, heart and lungs. Key Benefits of Live-Source Vitamin D3 Immunity Population groups with greater direct sunlight exposure or more vitamin D3 exposure, were found to have stronger immune function than those with restricted sunlight exposure.* Vitamin D3 receptors are known to exist on most immune cells and play a role in maintaining healthy immune cell maturity, differentiation and integration.* Breast and Mucosal Organs Research indicates optimal serum levels of vitamin D3 may be important in maintaining the best health of the cells of the breasts, lungs, colon, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, bladder, prostate, uterus, ovaries and kidneys.* Bone Metabolism In a 3-year randomized controlled study, vitamin D3 and calcium supplementation promoted bone strength and reduced risk of falling in women aged 65 or older.* Vitamin D3 supplements were shown to support hip and non-vertabral bone health in a meta-analysis of twelve double-blind randomized controlled trials of 20,000 people.* Vitamin D is essential for healthy calcium metabolism; it promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorus uptake and can reduce urinary calcium excretion.* Nerve Function Research indicates vitamin D may promote neural health by supporting healthy nerve conduction potential, antioxidant defense and neuronal calcium regulation.* High circulating blood levels of end-chain vitamin D3, 25- hydroxyvitamin D, were associated with nerve and myelin health in a study of 7 million U.S. military personnel, published in JANA, 2006.* Cognition Higher levels of vitamin D were correlated with healthy mood and mental function in two studies of more than 300 elderly people.* Additionally, we now know that vitamin D receptors and vitamin D hydroxylation pathways exist in areas of the brain responsible for memory and cognition.* Heart Health Healthy blood vessel relaxation and blood flow are associated with ideal levels of vitamin D3. Healthy inflammatory response, antioxidant defense and cytokine production are associated with optimal blood levels of vitamin D as well.* What is the D3 Source? PRL D3 Serum comes from sheep lanolin. Pasture fed and pasture kept sheep from New Zealand with their exceptionally high standards of farming, keeping them in healthy peak shape. This D3 Serum is free from pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and all the other associated toxins that come from over intensive animal farming. As this is a natural source that provided a real high quality and vibrant D3 vitamin supplement.

Compare With Inferior Probiotic Products • No hibernating flora with only 2 or 3 strains • Allergy-free: non-dairy base (milk-free) • No animal-based ingredients • Refrigeration recommended (not required) Full-Spectrum, 12-Strain Beneficial Bacteria Premier Colon pH and Ecology* New Research on “Good” Intestinal Bacteria Premier Probiotic Complex (QPC) contains a full spectrum of living, beneficial bacteria. This formula is based on extensive research and has been in clinical use over ten years in Japan. In clinical trials, it has a proven track record to help eliminate bad bacteria from the colon and remove waste. Healthy Intestines Mean a Healthy Body The body functions as a complex bacterial ecosystem. Maintaining beneficial microbial balance throughout the gastrointestinal tract is vital to the stability of this ecosystem and essential to optimal health. The colon contains from 3 to 4 pounds of bacteria. Over 700 types of intestinal bacteria are harmful while only 20 types are beneficial. To maintain good health, the colon needs a ratio of 85% health-promoting “good” bacteria to 15% or less harmful bacteria. QPC contains the most effective lactic acid bacteria as found in the gastrointestinal tract that can inhibit the activity of harmful bacteria. Over time, using QPC can help increase a favorable ratio of beneficial bacteria over harmful ones. It is the world’s premier probiotic able to rapidly help bring about favorable intestinal microbial balance. Unmatched Probiotic Performance Each capsule of QPC contains 59,000,000 CFU of lactic acid bacteria with high amounts of four organic acids critical to enzyme synthesis and tissue rejuvenation. Thus, the survival of any individual can be enhanced by taking healthy probiotic cultures such as QPC. QPC is the only probiotic containing the TH10 strain of friendly bacteria, specially developed by leading Japanese scientists. This formula received “The Best Product” award (1991) from the Japanese Dairy and Food Association and also the “International Best Alternative Medicine Gold Medal” (1998) at the World Congress and Exposition on Integrative Healing. Conventional probiotics (dairy or vegetable origin) usually contain only one or two strains of good bacteria which promote only those strains of bacteria. They provide some help but are not capable of supporting all species of health-promoting bacteria for best health. In contrast, QPC delivers 12 different strains of 100% live, beneficial lactic acid bacteria to support the best intestinal ecology. Many products use commercial milk solids as a base in their product. However, up to 80% of American dairy cattle are now infected with bovine leukemia, tuberculosis or downer cow syndrome.6 Using their dried milk as a base in probiotic products exposes consumers to risk of infection. In contrast, QPC is 100% free of milk (or dairy) products as well as toxic chemicals, and is a 100% vegetarian source, including vegetable-source soft gels.

Premier Nucleo Immune Cellular Rejuvenation, DNA Repair and Increased Energy* • A proprietary formula of nucleotide concentrate (highly bioavalable nano-protein RNA and DNA factors) with their essential phytonutrient synergists and co-factors • Promotes rapid cellular rejuvenation, in-creased vitality, healthy immune system, protein support and DNA repair* • 100% solvent-free vegetable capsules No toxic tablets or gelatin caps • Excipient-Free: No binders, fillers, glues or other toxic tagalongs as found in tablets and gelatin capsules* • The Premier Research Effect: When premier nutrients (exquisitely well-grown, free of toxic tagalongs) are combined together, their effect is far greater than the sum of their individual benefits by a factor of 2 to 100-fold or more. Premier Nucleotides is the first “nano-protein” delivery system devised to promote an instantaneous immune boost and increased vitality. Although nucleotides are also found in literally all protein-rich foods, they are not very biologically available. Premier Nucleotides is rich in nucleotides (which are nucleic acids derived from Saccharomyces boulardii) that have been purified, concentrated and specially processed to be highly biologically available. In addition, critical synergists, cofactors and essential transporters are all present to assure rapid uptake and utilization as well as efficient detoxification during the cellular repair process. During the cold and winter season, when you are feeling low, nothing strengthens the immune response and picks up your energy like Premier Nucleotides. Benefits of Nucleotides Dramatic Swiss research has shown that oral nucleotides can help: • Boost your immune system* • Improve circulation* • Stimulate the brain’s memory neurotransmitters* • Increase energy* • Slow the aging process* • Supports normal T-cell manufacture* • Promote new skin cell growth and rejuvenation* • Promotes neutralization of internal toxins* Nucleotides are tiny building blocks of RNA and DNA, which are the blueprints for every cell in your body. Each of your trillion plus cells contains 6 billion nucleotides. These building blocks are stored in a very limited quantity in your liver. Trauma, surgery, immune challenges and other stresses can rapidly deplete the body’s stores of nucleotides. When depleted, rebuilding critical supplies of nucleotides to meet the body’s demands can take several days, if not weeks. Nucleotides are fundamental nutrients like minerals which must be supplied from outside the body. They are found most abundantly in human breast milk. No other mammal has nearly the concentration that is found in human breast milk. Nucleotides in breast milk are essential to a baby’s developing immune system. When breastfeeding isn’t possible, a nucleotide-enriched formula is recommended. For young, healthy people, getting enough nucleotides from food may be possible, but as we grow older, this pathway becomes less efficient and our ability to absorb nucleotides decreases. Therefore, nucleotides in supplement form can provide an excellent solution. Winning the Battle During the Cold & Winter Season Research shows that nucleotides can provide significant support during the cold season. In research trials, nearly all patients reported positive benefits while taking nucleotides for cold season concerns including stresses related to sinus, ears, head pain, body temperature, mouth & throat, glands and muscle aches. During immune challenges, if an extra source of nucleotides is available, billions of sturdy, fresh nucleotides can be absorbed by the cell to help fight back and put an end to immune stress. Healing the Skin and More The benefits don’t stop with boosting the immune system. Nucleotides can stimulate cellular growth and rejuvenation, including the skin. Even skin elasticity can be improved and skin wrinkling can be diminished by the use of nucleotides. Strengthening the Immune System Nutritional requirements are increased for the young and for people with weak immune systems. For many people whose immune systems are stressed, adding supplemental nucleotides to their diets may be just what they need to get back on the road to vitality. Improved Circulation and Memory Research shows nucleotides may improve circulation and peripheral nerve function. Enhanced RNA synthesis by nucleotides has been linked to increased energy levels and more efficient neutralization of internal toxins. Since nucleotides are capable of boosting the immune response, they may have many other far-reaching implications for helping those with a wide variety of other health concerns. As people grow older, their immune systems often do not work as efficiently as they once did. Elderly people are more susceptible to immune concerns. Studies show that nucleotides can help boost the immune efficiency and function in older people and they may help patients with memory concerns according to D. Ewen Cameron of McGill University in Montreal. Nucleotides may help stimulate the synthesis of the brain’s memory neurotransmitters. The Astronaut Boost Astronauts returning from extended visits to space are prone to many physical challenges, including immune system stress, bone and muscle exhaustion. In a NASA-funded research project conducted by Dr. Anil Kulkarni at University of Texas Medical School in Houston, nucleotides are being added to supplement the diet of astronauts. His medical assistant, Nathan Hales, says, “It’s becoming of greater importance to NASA, as they project long-term 3-year missions to Mars, that we figure out a way to maintain the immune systems of astronauts and keep them healthy while they’re out there.” A Longer, Fuller Life Nucleotides may help us live longer, fuller lives according to the late English physician Max Oden. Nucleotides are now being used in infant formulas and in food supplements throughout Europe and even for astronauts to prevent immune stress, exhaustion and bone and muscle concerns. Nucleotides have also been shown to enhance intestinal immune response as well as liver function. Studies also have shown nucleotide supplementation can help improve T-cell-dependent humoral immune responses, further supporting the importance of supplemental nucleotides.

Structured Silver Colloidal Silver was the primary form of anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal treatment before the introduction of penicillin and antibiotics. Unfortunately with the use of antibiotics or penicillin, there is much destruction of the good, healthy bacteria in the gut, which actually causes a DECREASE in your immune health, and can actually be the cause of chronic yeast and candida infections, and many other chronic infections. Colloidal Silver works by a different mechanism than antibiotics, and doesn't harm the good bacteria (probiotics) in your gut: Recommendations:
