Herbal cures direct from an actual Indian Swami?

Herbal dietary supplements direct from an Indian Swami? I just have to save Oooohhhmmmm.

Sorry I couldn’t resist. What else would anyone expect from me when you’re talking about a website called HerbalCureIndia. Com? They seem to have a wide array of products, even have an entire selection dedicated to Men’s health. Of course almost half of the products are for erectile dysfunction. Of all of the potential health problems men face, I would think that erectile dysfunction is probably not the most life threatening. Quality of life maybe, but hey keeping your weight down and your heart healthy would certainly rate higher on my priority scale than erectile dysfunction. I’m not saying that a healthy sex life isn’t a good thing, only that without the LIFE portion of the phrase, the sex become necrophilia and that’s just sick. Take care of your body and mind first, once that’s done, IF you still have a problem with ED, THEN go looking for a cure. Since ED can be caused by a variety of conditions, why not treat the conditions and see if the ED clears up on its own?

I will say this much for Herbal Cures India. They actually have very good documentation on their website for their products. They include the good, the bad and the ugly (who should and should not use their various products) right in the product descriptions. I have to appreciate that in a company. I may just have to give them a try (I have a friend who is trained in both herbalism and as a pharmacy tech. ) and see how well some of their products works based on what my friend says will be the best ones to try.

Hmmm, This might be worth looking into..

Wow, someone finally figured out that men have weight issues too! Congratulations, you’ve figured out that the other 49% of the population might like having a diet pill designed for them. I do have to look at this a little harder before stocking up on a case to get through the holiday season. Let me explain why. Myoffeine is the first diet pill specifically for men. It not only helps you lose weight, it boosts your libido too. Just what some 350 lb basement dwelling couch potato needs, an increased libido! Myoffeine gets its oomph from a combination of large doses of anhydrous caffeine and a chemical very similar to Ephedra called Synephrine. Just the thought of that makes my heart pound, and my blood pressure elevate. It also contains Tribulus Terrestris to boost your libido and like L-Glutamine and L-Arginine that help you to build muscle making your exercise more effective. Myoffeine is supposedly quite effective, but I’d have to check with my doctor before taking any drug that has the potential to spike my blood pressure or heart rate, neither of which are good things. I guess the best thing to say is that always check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program. With its combination of ingredients, Myoffeine not only helps users lose fat fast, it also helps them to build muscle as well. As I stated earlier, I would say see a doctor before grabbing a few bottles of any weight loss pill and heading for the gym. It might not be Ephedra, but that doesn’t mean it can’t have similar effects.

Serendipity or just good nutrition in a pill?

Lipovox was created by a college student who tried following the strict diet of 10 “super foods “ developed by the famous dermatologist Dr. Perricone. The inventor was shocked to see that she didn’t lose her crows feet , but it had a positive effect on the her weight, causing her to lose 11 pounds, in just 10 days. Her acne also cleared up. She found the 10 “Super Foods” expensive and less than palatable and decided to make a nutritional supplement that was an ultra-concentrated extract of them, and the results are the same as eating the food. Lipovox is now used by a list of celebrities, athletes and the super rich. Well what exactly is this stuff? A drug or a dietary supplement? Sounds like a world class vitamin to me, but so many people consider it a drug, I’ll let you decide

What an amazing array of drugs for weight loss.

Wow! There are an incredible number of drugs available that say they’ll help you drop the pounds. It’s rather funny how so many of them also include phrases in their reviews or ads as producing mood improving, etc, etc, etc. Sounds rather strange that you would take a drug that produces brain chemistry changes similar to a number of illegal narcotics as a means to lose weight. The again, I prefer my drugs in a bottle marked generic Ibuprofen or 10 yr old Single Malt. I’m going to check into some of these drugs more and see what I can find out. Prices seem to be all over the board too. One site has the same drug, listed in the same review and with two separate prices, with one being a major multiple of the lower one. Maybe they think lightening your wallet is the easiest way for you to lose weight. I’ll see what I can find out and get back to you. Always keep in mind that exercise can cause the same neurochemical release in the brain as many of these drugs, and unlike fen phen, it probably won’t destroy your heart in the process. Hey, if my late mom could decide that at 50+ years old she needed to lose weight and began eating right and riding a stationary bike enough to lose 80 lbs in 6 months, what’s OUR excuse?

Mom was right you should take your vitamins. But which one?

There are a world of dietary supplements out there. Vitamins, minerals, and a host of other things to help you stay or become healthy. I know for a fact that the supplements sold by Equinox were good stuff, too bad the company was itself a fraudulent pyramid scheme. If they had been a bit more interested in selling product in lieu of pushing distributorships, they would probably not have been sued out of business. I wish some honest supplement company would buy out the patents on the stuff Equinox sold, because some of it was VERY good. I had some of their structural support and skeletal lubricant ( names?) capsules and they were great. I could run for the first time in 15 years without my knees swelling. Like I said good stuff. Equinox was its own worst enemy in that it sold distributorships but severely limited the manners in which the distributors could sell the products. If it had been me, I’d have loved to have had a distributor get a healh food chain pick up the items for their shelves, or had a distributor sell the products in a mall. Both of which were at odds with the Equinox business requirements. Oh well, an MLM that screws it’s distributors, who would’ve thunk it.

Diets – We all have them, they are just not good ones

A diet is the some total of everything you put in your mouth and swallow. That includes the idiot who thinks that swallowing nuts and bolts is putting iron into his diet. The question is what is in your diet? Something that a lot of people don’t take into account is not only how much they eat, but how often and what they are eating. While my ideal meal may be half a tray of fudge brownies topped with walnuts, vanilla ice cream and hot fudge followed by a cheesecake for dessert, that’s probably not the best thing to have on a frequent basis and expect to stay thin. At least not unless you swim or run a double digit number of miles a day. Then there’s all of the possible allergens in that combo. Nuts, dairy, chocolate, etc etc etc. Everyone has a diet and everyone who wants to lose weight needs their own diet. A diet that fits their needs, wants, body and budget. Speaking of budget, how many have heard the ads for the diet places who say it’s only so much a day, plus the cost of food? Of course we all have. Have you ever figured out that that frequently means over $400 a month? While that might be doable for a single person with no kids, but what are you going to do to feed everyone else once you’ve spent $350+ dollars for 30 days worth of diets meals?

Exercise! Why? It’s good for you.

Most of us really don’t exercise as much as we should. Most of us consider it boring, takes too much time, is too hard, etc etc etc…. Basically we make excuses for not getting off the couch and doing SOMETHING. The truth of the matter is we all need to exercise because it is good for us, in more than just the physical arena. Exercise releases chemicals in the brain that affect mood, relieve stress, and relieve pain. My two big excuses are my bad knee and a lack of time with my 10+ hour a day job. Truth be told a low impact workout combined with a weight lifting regimen would probably help my knee hurt less, and half an hour of exercise would just mean that I don’t get to spend 5+ hours a night being sedentary sitting in front of a computer screen. So I should exercise in some manner on a nightly basis simply to improve the strength in my knee and keep my blood pressure down. See folks, I’m not claiming to be a saint just human so I may be harsh at times, but it’s nothing I haven’t said to myself once or twice.

Wonder drug? You just have to wonder.

Everyone has heard the tales of the latest greatest thing to come amazingly appearing out of this or that secret pharmaceutical lab in this or that foreign country and how it can help you lose pounds and inches of fat in just days. They all sounds so wonderful. Just think fitting into that bikini at the mall that was built for a stick figure model when you’re rubinesque and have been for 20 years. Just send $39.99 to XXXXXXXX and you too can lose 10 dress sizes and 50 lbs in only 6 weeks. What a crock and it isn’t a country one. I’m not saying it’s impossible for you to lose those 50 extra pounds, only that you are not going to do it in 6 weeks without some VERY intense dieting and exercising. Their are medications that can help make it easier, but there is simply no magic pill that will do it for you. My goal is to get you the straight scoop on what helps and what’s a waste of money or worse dangerous.

Time for some tough love and hard truths.

Let’s face facts folks, most of us eat too much, eat the wrong stuff, don’t exercise nearly enough and then wonder why our weights aren’t what we want them to be. I have to plead guilt as charged to that one myself. I will make one caveat in my own defense though, I watch to make sure I don’t go too far overboard. I’m not a rail thin 17 year old with a metabolism like a runaway train anymore. I will never get back down to that 155 lbs again (the increase in chest size from a 39 to a 49 pretty much guarantees that.) so I’m not going to try and go crazy. I can and should be under 210 though, with under 200 even better. I haven’t been under 200 lbs since 1994, so this isn’t going to be easy. Nor am I some 6’4″ pretty boy whining about having to lose 10 lbs to get into his high school letterman jacket. By military standards, I am 30+ lbs over my maximum allowable weight for my 5’10 1/2″ height. My goal is a healthy weight and yours should be too. Let’s see if we can’t all get there together, shall we.
