We all have much to be Thankful for this morning after the fire. The damages could have been much worse. It looks like the worst of it is over and soon the rains should have us safe from fires for awhile.
On another note, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for another year of the honor of supporting you in your quest for being as healthy as you can be! When we have a focus on our health, and experience the benefits of a higher quality of life resulting from this focus, the difference in our day to day experience can be very dramatic. There is no comparison between a day of feeling excellent vs. feeling tired and dysfunctional.
This is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves, so if you have done a good job of creating health this year, give yourself a big Thank You. If it has been less than a great year, give yourself that gift of the coming year being one of Well Being and Vitality. Create a new commitment, share it with me and let me support you in achieving a revived you for the coming year. Then this time next year you will be able to look back and give yourself a very big Thank You!

Finally, A Multivitamin I Can Recommend!
|
|
In my 35 years of practice I have never found a Multi-Vitamin, that I could recommend.
Generally, they failed for one or more reasons, either quality issues, a poor selection of ingredients chosen or not enough nutrient Co-factors.
I am very pleased to say now I finally have that product and it's called Primal Multi™. Primal Multi is a first-of-its-kind multivitamin, mineral and phytonutrient blend specifically formulated to
mimic the nutrient intakes found in an optimal evolutionary human diet
. The ingredients in Primal Multi™ have been sourced to be naturally occurring or bioidentical. In addition to key vitamins and minerals, this formula contains select phytonutrients that are known to have beneficial effects for health (such as lutein, lycopene, resveratrol, wild blueberry, broccoli seed/sprout, citrus bioflavonoids and more), which were likely consumed in greater quantities in the evolutionary past than they are in the modern diet.
The majority of commercially available multivitamin and mineral formulas are designed to meet 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) or Adequate Intake (AI), or some percentage thereof. However, these values represent the minimum intake required to reduce risk for overt debilitation and deficiency diseases; they were not intended to support optimal health, nor to address common genetic variations in nutrient absorption.
Ideally, most nutrients are obtained from a diet of whole, unprocessed foods. However, even under the best circumstances of a healthy diet, modern agricultural practices may result in foods having lower concentrations of certain nutrients than their wild counterparts, or than these foods had in the distant past. Additionally, the relentless pace of modern life, the ubiquity of compromised metabolic health, and the environmental toxins we’re exposed to means that most people need higher amounts of various nutrients than we did in the past. Primal Multi™ was formulated taking these issues into account.
Highlights
- B Vitamins: Provided in their natural and/or activated forms for superior bioavailability.
- Mineral chelates: Calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, molybdenum, chromium and boron are provided in chelated forms. Chelation is the bonding of minerals to amino acids, which results in molecules that are more easily absorbed and assimilated by the body.
- Vitamin K: Provided in both the K1 and K2 forms, which are both essential but have different biological roles.
- Vitamin E: Provided as tocotrienols from annatto extract. Tocotrienols have higher antioxidant activity and unique benefits not observed with tocopherols, the form of vitamin E in most commercially available supplements.
- Concentrated phytonutrients: Primal Multi™ shines with these unique ingredients not typically found in multivitamin/mineral blends—lutein, lycopene, wild blueberry complex, citrus bioflavonoids and more. These phytochemicals are concentrated in highly nutritious foods and have biological activity that may help support overall health and wellness.
Who is Primal Multi for? Some of my patients are on very comprehensive protocols and definitely do not need a multi at all as they already are well covered. Primal Multi alone, does not cover all Key nutrients as that would take too many pills and different kinds of pills, i.e. there are no critical Omega 3's in Primal Multi and insufficient calcium for most people. However, for individuals on lesser nutritional programs they will benefit greatly from such a High Quality, Comprehensive Formula. Certainly anyone who is not on any supplements at all, this would be a perfect choice if they were only going to take one product. Although I would always argue that everyone should also be on one of our Omega 3's, as there is not one product that will save more lives and more brains.
Additionally, for some people if we add Primal Multi to your program we may need to reduce some other products you are on to avoid redundancy.
Great for kids! For kids who can swallow capsules, they can take these amounts of Primal Multi, ages 5 - 7, 1 capsule per day. Ages 7-10, 2 capsules per day. Ages 10-13, 3 capsules per day and over 13 they could take the full adult dosage of 4 per day, depending on their size. Primal Multi should be taken with some food.
If you are wondering if we should add Primal Multi to your program, just email me or ask my staff to leave me a note asking me if Primal Multi is right for you.

Dr. Dale's Important and Fun Holiday Eating Guidelines!
|
|
Once again we are fast approaching the one meal of the year that Americans most commonly associate with “Being Stuffed.” Yes, that feeling that you can barely move. The only thing most people can do after this meal is sit in a large chair and try to keep their eyes open for more than ten minutes.
The good news is there is a simple solution that allows you to have your cake (rather, pie) and eat it, too. Here are the keys to surviving Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukah, without feeling like a “Stuffed Turkey” yourself and without gaining any significant amount of fat!
- Make sure the meal has lots of different tasty veggies that you love. I like to do variations on the traditional themes. For instance, I often make a mix of roasted onions with a balsamic glaze instead of the usual creamed onions.
- If you are having wine or other alcohol on this day, wait to have some of your meal before starting in on your “drink of choice,” or at least have an appetizer first. Drinking before you start eating will go right to your head, which will greatly increase your odds of losing all dietary control. A little food in your stomach first, plus some self control regarding how much you drink, and you are much more likely to stay “un-sauced and un-stuffed.” Another valuable tip if imbibing is to drink a glass of water after every glass of alcohol.

My Latest Cold and Flu Season Updates and Protocols
|
|
We are now into the 4th month of Cold and Flu Season. Last month's Newsletter mentioned an uptick in frequency and severity in the prior week. That has persisted over the past 4 weeks, with a much stronger version of the infection. This infection often manifests as a strong cough, at times a sore throat, and head congestion that drips down contributing to the cough. Of course fatigue that can send you to bed for a few days is a frequent component. Without the proper protocol I saw one patient who came in after 2 weeks of severe fatigue.
Our protocols, when used properly, are getting the job done quite efficiently. Those who are prepared and jumped into action at the first sign of an infection have been able to stop it in it's tracks! Speed of response with the right supplements is a key component of not getting laid up for weeks.
More and more of our patients have become well trained, resulting in easier cold and flu seasons in recent years.
The key to this kind of success is to be prepared!
That means having the products from Dr. Dale's Immune Protocols on hand to start taking at the first sign of an infection.
This is the most important step you can take to minimize the chances of any infection really setting you back.
If you want to maximize your resistance to getting sick, follow my
Infection Prevention Protocol
that is also on our Immune Refrigerator Page.
Warning! Very Important:
Do not stop your Cold or Flu protocol prematurely.
Oftentimes when you get on top of an infection right away, you can feel like you are all better within a few days. However, even though you have no symptoms, the bugs are still hanging around; it's just that your immune system is winning the battle. Stopping your protocol too soon can allow the infection to come back with a vengeance and often the second round is harder than the first to get on top of. So, continue your protocol for at least 2 weeks of being symptom free before stopping it.
