Be Part of Our New Study: "Ginseng Treatment for Fibromyalgia"
Vitality101 Newsletter
Dear Reader,
We recently completed our second study on the benefits of taking Recovery Factors®. The 100 participants in this study experienced results very similar to the 69% average increase in both well-being and energy that 60% of those in the first study experienced (download a PDF of the study). This initial study has been accepted for publication in The Open Pain Journal!
We are now launching our third study of the year. In this one, we will examine the effects of using a very powerful and unique form of Red Ginseng called HRG80™, which we have found to be quite helpful. People who join the study will participate from their homes, with no testing needed and at no cost whatsoever. Participants will receive four free bottles of the Red Ginseng as part of being in the study, and everybody will get the active treatment (no placebo). You only need to fill out a pre-and a post-study online form, with each taking about 15 minutes to complete. So it's easy as it can be!
What Is HRG80 Red Ginseng?
For over a thousand years, Wild Panax ginseng, as opposed to farmed ginseng, was the most popular herb in Asia. And for good reason! But it became so popular that the price for it rose to nearly $1,000 a pound, after which it could no longer be found. Unfortunately, the farmed ginseng simply did not have the active components that wild ginseng had, and so it was largely ineffective.
However, new aquaculture techniques have recently been developed that can reproduce the same active components that were in the superior, 17 years gone, wild ginseng. And we have found this new form to be remarkably helpful, as well as very safe and well tolerated. So we decided to perform a fibromyalgia study on it.
I invite you to enter the study today. In 3-6 weeks you can be feeling so much better!
[UPDATE AS OF THIS MORNING: There are only 24 remaining openings in this study.]
Ivermectin Associated with 83% Lower Risk of Death from Pandemic
The medication ivermectin is looking very promising. A meta-analysis of 4 prospective placebo-controlled studies showed an 83% decrease in death versus placebo in people who have the current pandemic. The medication has been used very safely for many decades and is commonly given for head lice.
CFS/FMS and the Pandemic: Good News and Bad News
For people with CFS and fibromyalgia, most of the COVID-19 news is actually very good. We aren't seeing the illness be more harmful to our CFS/FMS population than others. And in the rare cases where CFS/FMS flareups occur after having the virus, people respond very nicely to simply tuning up with the S.H.I.N.E.® Protocol.
In fact, there's a good reason that people with CFS /FMS could actually say “Thank You" to the virus!
The Thyroid Deep Dive Podcast
Mary Shomon is my favorite thyroid advocate in the world! She recently launched a new podcast, "Thyroid Deep Dive." Each of Mary's podcast episodes will be a deep dive into the various facets of thyroid disease: the thyroid patient experience, conventional endocrinology, integrative and holistic approaches, medication options, and lifestyle issues, and all from a patient-oriented perspective.
The podcast debuts with a four-part series (I am a featured speaker in episode 3):
- "Listen to the Patients." A focus on thyroid patients...their stories, their struggles, and their successes.
- "Two Roads Diverged, Part 1: The Endocrinologists." The conventional endocrinology perspective on diagnosing and treating hypothyroidism is explored with several leading endocrinologists.
- "Two Roads Diverged, Part 2: Integrative Doctors and Hypothyroidism." Two of the nation's leading integrative and naturopathic physicians explore their approach to diagnosis and management of hypothyroidism.
- "Behind the Pharmacy Counter." Pharmacists offer an insiders' look at the process and costs involved in filling your prescriptions for thyroid hormone replacement drugs — and how to save.
