In short, MS is an autoimmune disorder which causes inflammation and healthy cells of the brain and spinal cord to be attacked causing scar tissue (Sclerosis).  Multiple Sclerosis is one of the advanced symptoms of Acidosis. Acidosis is an increased acidity (i.e. an increased hydrogen ion concentration). If not further qualified, it usually refers to acidity of the blood plasma.  Acidosis is said to occur when arterial pH falls below 7.35. 

The following is how a HEALTHY immune system responds to an alarm set off in the body: 

Inflammation is a manifestation of the immune system’s response to an invading organisms or substances.  These may be viruses, bacteria, fungi, allergens, or, in the case of autoimmune diseases, the bodies own tissue.

When an invading organism (pathogen) is first recognized the immune system launches a response involving a number of different white blood cells (leukocytes) – this is known as an immune cascade.

At the site of the infection, there are a number of physiological changes that take place to assist the destruction of the invaders. These include:

• Increased blood flow to the area to maximize the number of leukocytes that can get to the infection site.
• A thinning of the cells in local blood capillary walls (endothelial cells) to allow the leukocytes to squeeze through.
• An increase in local temperature which has an antibiotic effect.
• A large number of immune system signaling molecules (chemokines) are released by leukocytes to co-ordinate the immune response and to call more leukocytes to the site.

Once the invader has been dealt with, the body terminates the immune response by killing off the leukocytes in the locality. This is done by depriving them of nutrients (necrosis) and by making them commit suicide (apoptosis). There are two ways that apoptosis happens:

1. By sending cells special cellular messenger molecules (cytokines) to tell them to die.
2. By not sending them other cytokines that tell them to keep living. A type of leukocyte, a helper T-cell, continues to release this type of cytokine while it continues to detect the presence of the pathogen. Once it can no longer detect it, it stops and other leukocytes die.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS – WHAT GOES WRONG:

In multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases, the inflammatory response seems to be launched in the absence of a pathogen. It seems that certain T-cells are mistakenly recognizing the insulating sheaths around nerves (myelin) as a foreign invader.  It is an auto immune disorder which causes the healthy cells of the brain and spinal cord to become inflamed causing necrosis and/or apoptosis.

According to a tremendous amount of studies and independent research, Kangen Water (ionized, alkaline water) aids to body in reducing its acidity level, decreases inflammatory conditions, and aids the body with auto immune diseases.  The list of conditions that Kangen Water helps with goes on and on… when the body is rid of its toxic, acid waste, alkalized and properly hydrated it is more able to deal with diseases and is given the environment needed to heal.

Doctors agree that acid, in the form of toxic waste, is the underlying causes of every known degenerative disease!  Kangen Water rids the body of acid waste and raises the pH of the body.  It does this due to the alkalinity of the water, ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential – the ability to pull acid waste from deep in the cells) and the fact that it is micro-clustered.  In other words, it is reduced water – broken down into very small water clusters allowing the water to penetrate deep into the cells to reach deep internal problems.

WHY DO WE GET THESE SYMPTOMS? 

Main Causes of Sickness, Disease and Premature Aging:

1. Dehydration Our bodies use 2.5 liters of water at normal function in a mild climate. You should be drinking at least 2 liters of water a day. So you see, we are already behind on water intake. The most common signs of dehydration are headaches and fatigue. Our bodies prioritize when water is limited, so areas and organs low on the list just loose out. Water is the only source of hydration. Do not confuse all liquids with the hydrating ability of water. Soda, coffee, tea, and alcohol actually cause you to be more dehydrated. We need to drink more water. We need to drink better water.

2. Free Radicals (Oxidants, Active Oxygen) A free Radical by definition is any unstable atom that has unpaired electrons in its outer shell. An unstable oxygen atom (oxidant) needs 2 more electrons to fill in its outer shell in order to stabilize. Oxygen by itself will seek out these electrons wherever it can, including healthy cells and our DNA. We get free radicals from various sources – the foods we eat, smoking, drinking alcohol and pollution, but the most common is breathing, Every breath brings in 2% free radicals which increases to 20% during cardiovascular activity. Our bodies’ natural anti-oxidizing systems can handle the load at rest, but during times of high stress and fatigue, the free radicals become too much. These radicals are linked to multiple diseases, including cancer and diabetes, and they can accelerate the aging process. Since free radicals are strong oxidants, they are oxidizing or “rusting” our bodies ,like an old car. We must flush these free radicals out, in order to remain healthy and happy.

3. Acidosis Acidosis is an overly acidic state in the body, caused by an acidic diet and lifestyle. Cooked meats, poultry, sugar, pasteurized dairy, coffee, sweeteners, and alcohol are all acidic. Vegetables, fruits, and nuts are all alkaline – the opposite of acidic. There needs to be a balance to combat the acid in our bodies, but this is not happening. All the food we crave is acid forming and over acidification of body fluids is linked to almost EVERY KNOWN DISEASE. Some examples are Diabetes, Heart Diseases, Heartburn, Chronic Fatigue… just to name a few. During Menopause, women can become extremely acidic. Our bodies use calcium and other minerals to buffer this acidity. That calcium loss can lead to osteoperosis. We need balance, We need to fight the acidity.

4. Intestinal Disorders Let’s start with physical facts. Most nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and proteins from our food are absorbed through our intestines. Food only stays in our stomachs for 1 to 3 hours. And then our intestines absorb the nutrients we need for survival. Of all the vital organs in the body, the one that suffers the most abuse from modern dietary habits is the intestinal tract. According to the recent study, we now consume approximately 100 times more pesticides, chemicals, livestock hormones, preservatives and carcinogens than just two generations ago. At this level, our body simply cannot handle that kind of constant toxic attacks by itself. Our intestines were intended by nature to function as smoothly flowing disposal systems, designed to promptly absorb nutrients and flush digestive wastes from the body. Instead, they have become stagnant cesspools. Every tissue is fed by the bloodstream which is supplied by the intestines. When the intestines are dirty, the blood is dirty, and so are the organs and tissues. It is the intestines that must be cared for first before any effective healing can take place. – Dr. Bernard Jensen, Ph. D According to the FDA, the average American carries anywhere between 5 to 22 pounds of compacted fecal matter, as foul toxic waste mucus, stuck in the folds of their colon (large intestine). This toxic mucus not only produces so many free radicals but also prevents our vital nutrients from being absorbed. Nature never intended for us to move toxic substances through our system on a daily basis. Even the US Health and Human Services admitted that 90% of Americans are walking around with clogged colons. Almost ALL disease comes from this toxic cesspool in the colon. It is commonly known among medical circles that your colon is home base for almost every disease in the body. Good Health Starts with Clean Intestines (And Clean Intestines Start with Kangen Water!) This may be demonstrated with the research of Dr. Shinya (world renowned Dr. and inventor of colonoscopy). 

Kangen water is the best water available to us, hands down. By drinking Kangen water, you are sweeping the free radicals out of your body because of the incomparably high anti-oxidizing properties. Kangen water has smaller clusters (water molecules) that hydrate you MUCH faster at a cellular level. The alkalinity and ORP (ability of the water to pull acid waste from your cells) of Kangen water helps balance acidosis. All of these factors combined help clean all the stagnant toxic waste out of your colon. Considering over 70% of disease comes from a dehydrated, acidic colon hosting too many free radicals and the fact that your intestines will not function properly without enough water, drinking lots of Kangen water just makes total sense to help you fight these everyday battles. Combining healthy diet, moderate exercise and super-hydrating Kangen Water will be a huge step to restoring balance in your body.

Go Kosher! Apparently, people are doing just that. The Kosher Information Bureau estimates that about 5 million people in the United States purchase Kosher products. And about one-third of all supermarket products are stocked with Kosher-certified commodities. Why is Kosher such a popular trend?

Kosher, meaning “fit” in Hebrew, refers to a diet that is particularly followed by the Jewish community and is in keeping with the laws of kashrut. But surprisingly, the Jewish community is not the primary taker for Kosher products. The Muslims prefer Kosher products, too, because it is in keeping with their “halal” traditions. People who are allergen-sensitive may also prefer Kosher products as they are always free from shellfish and crustacean allergens. Then there are those who simply prefer Kosher against regular food items. Just having a Kosher-certified symbol on the product is perceived by consumers to have higher value in terms of quality.

According to a recent Mintel report three out of five people prefer Kosher as they believe it has better quality, is safer for consumption and better for health. The report found that just 14 percent of the people who buy Kosher do so for religious reasons. Just seeing a Kosher symbol on products is reassuring enough for many consumers, according to Mintel.Kosher-certified products have gained a reputation for having passed stringent Kosher-quality control measures of production and thorough inspection processes. This definitely adds perceived value to Kosher products and has boosted sales, even of items like Kosher vitamins.

Says Packaged Facts, “Certification enhances the desirability of a company’s products to a broader customer base in the US – provided marketers ensure consumers are made aware of the third-party endorsement – as well as expanding export opportunities.”

Kosher has been the most popular food claim for the last five decades. Other popular claims include: organic, vegan, free from additives and preservatives. Manufacturing for this niche category of people is smart marketing.

The demand for Kosher-certified foods has been increasing at a rate of 15 percent a year for the past 25 years. Companies in China and India who have no internal market for Kosher products desire Kosher certifications to sell Kosher products to countries like the United States, Israel and other European countries, especially France.

With the definite rise and predicted rise in Kosher-certified products, Kosher supplement manufacturers are not far behind. Dietary supplements can be non-Kosher because Vitamins A, B, and D, and minerals like calcium and iron are derived from fish, pork, and certain parts of the animal that, under kashrut law, are not to be eaten. Glucosamine sulfate, used in joint health supplements, is derived from shellfish, which is non-Kosher. For this reason, many pure vegetarians prefer to buy Kosher vitamins as well.

Certified-Kosher supplements ensure an instant consumer appeal for a large sector of consumers. Popular Kosher supplements are:

• Kosher Vitamins
• Kosher Supplements for specific health needs
• Kosher Prenatal Vitamins
• Kosher Children’s Vitamins
• Kosher Fish Oil Supplement

If you’d like to start a special line of Kosher supplements, contact a certified Kosher supplement manufacturer. With the current trend and growth rate of certified Kosher product sales, targeting a niche category of people could be one of the best ways to serve your customers as well as boost your brand image and profit lines.

Nutricap Labs is a full service vitamin supplement manufacturing service. We primarily manufacture Kosher supplements, capsules, powders, liquids and creams, but we also offer label and packaging design services and order fulfillment services to our customers
