Weight Loss
Introduction
This report is much more than a 'report'. It is really a small book which includes information which if applied will not only normalize your weight but will also have a profound beneficial effect on all aspects of your health and give you levels of energy and a sense of wellbeing which you likely have not experienced for many years... if indeed ever.
It was prepared primarily on the request and for the benefit of our many loyal customers... but, even if you are not a customer we will freely share this knowledge with you so you may also enhance your life by not only enabling you to lose weight if you need to but also rejuvenate your body, improve your appearance and sharpen your mind.
As you scroll down the page you will see a list of the contents. Even though this document is protected by copyright and cannot be reproduced without permission, you are welcome to print it out and distribute it to anyone you feel may benefit from it, provided the credits are kept intact... or email them the file.
It is not a 'diet' report and does not contain any recipes to 'fill' the pages. This report is designed to help you understand the barriers you have likely been facing if you have been attempting to lose weight OR have less than perfect health. With this understanding you will be able to literally turn your life around.
As always I appreciate any feedback from my readers... good or bad. I endeavor to answer all emails personally. The best way to contact me is via the contact page on the website.
Finally, I would like to draw your attention to the disclaimer at the end of the report... a sad but necessary inclusion!
OK... let's get started...
Misleading health information – again?
Question: from Meliss
Warren what do you think about this..It was sent to me?
“Dear Meliss:
Probiotics are bacteria and enzymes are acids. To be healthy
you need less bacteria and less acid with more alkaline electron
rich foods and drinks.
High blood pressure is caused by increased acidity and a deficiency of
sodium, magnesium and potassium.
pHour salts and pHlavor salts will help.”
Answer: from Warren
I don't know who sent you this but unfortunately it is typical of the uninformed comments and half truths that circulate the health supplement business.
Irresponsible Doctors??
Question: from Emily
I recently went to my dr. and had my bloodwork done. My cholesterol was 237. My triglycerides were 94,my HDL was68,and my LDL was 150.In your opinion do I need to take the 20mg. of lovastatin a day that he has prescribed?
Answer: from Warren
I think that your Doctor has been brainwashed by the drug company reps. It is in my opinion irresponsible to propose you take a statin drug with this figures.
Firstly, high cholesterol is only a danger when it is combined with HIGH triglycerides...yours are not.
Next, your Doc has only looked at your TOTAL cholesterol and seems to have ignored that your HDL is 68.
This is incomprehensible!
Did Cardio-Klenz outperform a drug?
It seems so. A customer who had a serious heart attack back in 2001 (before she became a customer) has been kind enough to share her story with us. It would seem that she was using a drug called Pletal and had been on it for a year and it was unsuccessful. However, after being on Total Balance for a couple of months and then adding Cardio-Klenz she got the results that she was looking for.
She puts this down to the Cardio-Klenz. But, it is likely to be the combination of both the Total Balance Premium and the Cardio-Klenz.
What was rather disturbing about this story is that the drug Pletal is known to reduce the survival chances of someone who has had a heart attack...and yet she was prescribed it!!!
She made contact with me through the blog earlier this month looking for some advice:
If it seems to good to be true...it is!!
You may have come across promotions on the internet by companies giving away 'free samples' of their supplements. All you have to do is pay for the shipping and handling.
I see them from time to time and usually have a look to see where the catch is. More often than not you will find buried in the small print of the terms and conditions that you are committing to a regular monthly shipment of the product and that it is automatic UNLESS you specifically cancel it.
But, even that can be problematic as many of these companies do not provide phone numbers, physical addresses or even email addresses. The only point of contact is through a webform. Often these companies are not even companies at all but individual marketers working from home without the infrastructure to support customer complaints etc.
In some cases they may be a company with premises but they choose to ignore the complaints until they get so severe that the FTC or some other authority steps in. These people and companies do the industry a gross disservice so it is pleasing when they are caught up and brought to court such as Ultralife Fitness Inc in Utah. But, then they got off lightly.
Slim Chance Awards for 2008
Each year the Healthy Weight Network issues it's annual 'Slim Chance Awards'. I thought that I would give you a link to the article announcing the winners for this year.
On one hand it is quite amusing but on the other it is quite sad that people are given false hopes and expectations whilst wasting their hard earned money on what is often no more than a scam.
The 'awards' are broken down into four sections.
1. Most outrageous claim
2. Worst gimmick
3. Worst claim
4. Worst product

Resveratrol...is there sufficient in your Supplements?
Question: from James
For some years I have researched the Internet on health issues and as a result have elected to purchase your products relevant to myself. However firstly we in the UK do not have the luxury of chopping and changing Doctors ad lib, My own GP in fact insists that I use statins for cholesterol control . and was unaware of the Co- enzyme depletion as a result.
He also precribes Losartan Plus for B.P control ..
However I do take Cardio Klenz and Total Balance Mens Premium together with Dr Sears Accel(coenzyme Q10) and for a man of 72 feel pretty fit.
However my only concern re your products is that whilst they are well researched .is. are the quantity of the ingredients sufficient . \i.e. resveratrol in Cardio Klenz is only 50mg whereas other suppliers offer products containing 300 mg or more ??? this applies to a number of ingredients in TB and CK . I have every confidence in Xtend Life and your ethical approach to general wellbeing and I feel sure that with your approach you would provide products which are have adequate amounts of the various ingredients to provide effective treatment and I would welcome clarification.
Nattokinase...is it any good?
Question: from Al
What is your advice regarding Nattokinase
Answer: from Warren
Nattokinase is a good enzyme and can be very beneficial in helping clean your arteries…provided it is the right sort. There are a number of different forms on the market most of which are not approved by the FDA in the US.
When we researched this ingredient some time ago the only quality form that we could find that was approved by the FDA was called Nattozimes and is produced by the National Enzyme Company in the USA.
We now use this in both our Total Balance Premium and Cardio-Klenz.
Why are some forms of Nattokinase not approved by the FDA?
The simple answer is how they are produced.
