Honor Thy Mother as Thyself

My friend and financial planner, Meredith, gave birth to her first child last year. About a month later she was diagnosed with a Grade 4 (the worst kind) malignant brain tumor. Not exactly the way she wanted to spend her first Mother's Day.

Her surgery saved her life. And her insurance saved her livelihood.

But she didn't stop there, wipe her brow and say, 'whew! Glad that's over..."

She's taking steps to maximize her health and life. To get herself out of the hole, and on to bigger and better.

One of the best things Meredith's done for her recovery is to hire a nutritionist. Jeanne Wallace has a Master's and PhD degrees in human nutrition and completed a 750-hour nutrition consultant training program considered one of the best in the country. She also served on editorial boards for several peer-reviewed medical journals.

She knows her stuff.

Dr. Wallace specializes in malignant brain tumors (currently with 650 patients). She also works with clients healing from colon, breast, ovarian, endometrial, pancreatic, and head-and-neck cancers, and malignant melanoma.

Her focus is on "evidence-based complementary cancer care". She integrates a healthy diet and carefully selected dietary supplements with her patients' medical treatments to optimize the body's healing capacity. "Evidence-based" means there's lots of scientific research to support the supplements she recommends.

Dr. Wallace has Meredith taking some exotic supplements--like shark liver oil and some sort of mushroom combo. Some not-so-exotic, like Green Tea and Selenium.

But guess what else she's taking? Fish Oil, Magnesium, Multi-Vitamin and CoQ10. That's right. The same nutrients found in The Core Four.

Evidence-based. They work. The starting point of any good nutritional program. Of any health-supporting lifestyle.

But the Core 4 aren't just 'anti-sudden death' and 'anti-cancer' nutrients. They're also anti-stress, anti-heart attack, anti-Alzheimer's, anti-diabetes, anti-osteoporosis, anti-arthritis...

(Like the little pink bunny...the list keeps going, and going and going.)

They're not magic. They're not exotic. But they are pharmaceutical-grade, pure and potent. They rejuvenate, soothe, nourish your body from the Inside-Out.

The nutritional expert knows the value of these nutrients to crank up the immune systems of terribly sick people and help them fight off even the worst cancer (and the side effects of the treatment).

Just imagine what they could be doing for you.

We honored our Mothers Sunday. Honor yourself today.

Be like Meredith. Run, swim or bike on over tohttp://www.drvinceonline.com/core4.htm and get started.

Huffing and Puffing and Loving it,

Dr. Vince

P.S. Actually, Meredith admitted that she hasn't been taking her CoQ10 lately. Even though she knows it's good for her heart, she's got 'bigger fish to fry' right now. But I think when she remembers the energizing, muscle-building, anti-aging effects of CoQ10, she'll start taking it again--to keep up with her toddler Erik, her clients, and her triathalons!
