Meet the Avatar! We are excited to be bringing a new form of bioenergetic testing to the office – EAV/ electrodermal screening. Electrodermal screening uses an electronic device (the Avatar) to measure the electrical resistance at numerous points on the body. It measures the electrical current moving through the acupuncture meridians and as such gives information about the bioenergetics of the body. This allows the identification of areas for nutritional support! Read below to learn more about EAV testing and the Avatar!

And, the last announcement: we are extending our Spread the Good Word review contest for two more weeks so you still have an opportunity to enter! The contest was outlined in last month’s newsletter. You can review the rules here: https://brwellness.com/february-2021-newsletter-hype-or-not-are-probiotics-really-good-for-you/. We encourage you to enter!

EAV/Electrodermal Screening

Electrodermal screening uses electronic devices to measure the electrical resistance at numerous points on the body. This technology is not an instrument used to diagnose disease. It does however measure the electrical current moving through the acupuncture meridians and as such gives information about the bioenergetics of the body. It is an instrument of physics, not chemistry.

We will be getting trained on the device later this month. After our training we will be offering free sessions with the EAV in late March and early April. Watch for the announcement so you can schedule your free session.

The Avatar is an EAV device made by Veradyne in the USA. To read more about it click here: https://veradyne.com. If you would like to learn more about the theory behind it click here: https://eavresource.com.

 

November 2020 Newsletter: The Vitamin Everyone Should Be Taking

 

Throughout the past few months, we have continuously stressed the importance of supporting the immune system through supplementation and proper diet. With colder weather already here and cases on the rise in Wisconsin (and perhaps where you are as well) we are now recommending that everyone take Vitamin D. This is the first time we have ever made a statement that everybody should be taking a specific supplement. You can read below why we are making this universal recommendation.

We are always amazed at what we learn from muscle testing. Sometimes the results are quite surprising to the client – they just do not seem to make sense or fit what they recall about their personal health history. And then, someone offers some new information and it all makes sense. Read about a recent case below in the Magic of Muscle Testing!

We love the SHAPE program. Yes, we talk about it every month – for a good reason – it is the best detoxifying, inflammation reducing, immune system supporting, and weight loss program out there. Think about it – you can support your immune system (so critical during the pandemic) and lose weight at the same time!! Read below another SHAPE success story.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Because of this, Direct Labs is offering some great specials on blood tests for Hemoglobin A1c, C-Reactive Protein, and more!! Go to www.directlabs.com for more specifics. 

Everyone Should be Taking Vitamin D

We are strong believers in using muscle testing to create an individualized nutritional supplement program for each client. However, in these days of the pandemic there are several indisputable facts.

First, it has been found that Vitamin D can protect cells from certain viruses, including the coronavirus. There is an enzyme called ACE 2 (Angiotensin converting enzyme 2) that attaches to the outer surface of cells in the lungs, arteries, heart, kidney, and intestines. Apparently, ACE2 serves as the entry point into cells for some viruses. Vitamin D blocks or fills the receptor sites of the ACE2 so the virus cannot get into the cell.

Second, most people are Vitamin D deficient. Experts believe that we should have 80-100 ng/mL of Vitamin D in our blood.

Third, there are many reports surfacing showing correlations between Vitamin D levels and COVID-19 experiences. Here is an example: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8884139/Eight-10-Covid-19-hospital-patients-vitamin-D-deficient-study.html

As the winter approaches, we have fewer opportunities to gather the Sunshine Vitamin (D) the natural way. So, if you are not currently taking Vitamin D we strongly encourage you start. Especially now. With the weather turning colder and COVID and flu cases on the rise here in Wisconsin we suggest you invest in your health and consider the other immune system supporting supplements we have previously presented.

For more information or to discuss options for you and your family call, email, or text Bernie. The email is bernie@brwellness.com. Call or text to 414-331-8796.

Even Dr. Fauci says he takes Vitamin D (along with Vitamin C)!

The Magic of Muscle Testing

One of the reasons we enjoy muscle testing is that you never know what you are going to discover. Each new client is a mystery to be solved. Sometimes we find what we are expecting, other times there is a case like follows: 

Last month a new client, a 22-year old female, presented with asthma, digestive and skin issues. The muscle testing revealed a corn sensitivity (this classifies as a result we might expect) and a mold exposure (not a typical finding). Since some of her issues were more recent and there was the reading of mold exposure the next logical question is to determine if there was a recent associated change of residence as the source of the exposure. The client replied that she had lived in the same house all her life. This was a bit puzzling, but the next day we received the following e-mail that illustrates the “magic” of muscle testing:

Hi Bernie, 

I just wanted to send you a quick note about my daughter, L. She said she met with you last night and you talked to her about her asthma, her lungs and mold exposure. I know she didn't put it on her intake form because she wouldn't remember, but when she was a brand-new baby until the age of about 3 months, she was exposed to black mold. We lived on the 1st floor of an apartment building and our apartment was right next to the basement stairs. The basement was poorly lit and there was always a smell of mold and musty but we never thought anything of it until after L was born and after we brought her home she kept having breathing issues that we had to keep taking her in for until they finally said it was asthma. We then started questioning how a young baby would get asthma and that's when we came to conclusion that perhaps it was from the mold and musty smell, so we called the health department and they came in and after they inspected the basement, they immediately sealed everything off and we had to vacate our apartment at once. 

So, maybe more info than you needed, but I just wanted to let you know, she did have black mold exposure. 

Thanks, 

S. 

SHAPE: A multi-generation program! - After seeing the wonderful results that my 77-year old mother had…

Here is a recent SHAPE success story! MG’s mother lives out of state but is originally from Wisconsin. She heard about SHAPE from her friend who is one of our SHAPE clients here. She found a SHAPE practitioner there, started the program, and with great results inspired her daughter as described below:

“After seeing the wonderful results that my 77-year old mother had using SHAPE to drop 40 pounds, I looked into finding a local practitioner. I found Susana at Rosen Wellness in my area.

After a few weeks on the program, my hunger and sugar cravings were greatly diminished. Now, just 4 months into the program, I have lost 40 pounds. I am so happy that I started this. My mind feels clear and I have extra energy. Joint pain and stiffness have slowly gone away, and I feel amazing!

Thank you, Susana, for your help, guidance, and many wonderful recipes to try (that my husband actually enjoys, too)!”  MG

October 2020 Newsletter: More Than Ever, Now is the Time to Eat Well and Be Well

 

More Than Ever, Now is the Time to Eat Well and Be Well

Welcome to the October newsletter. Hard to believe it is the Fall. It is our favorite season. We love the beautiful colors as the leaves change.

While we strive to bring you new material each month, we have decided to repeat and re-emphasize the important messages from last month.

In these interesting times the most important thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones is to eat properly and support your immune system. Even Dr. Fauci has stated he is taking Vitamin C and Vitamin D! While you may hear or believe what you want about the coronavirus at the end of the day no one really wants to get sick even if they think it is just a flu.

And please remember, we offer remote consultations for both SHAPE ReClaimed and nutrition consulting.

Number One: Eat Well

Last month we introduced you to Well World – a new App from Designs for Health - offering you free access to the eating plan of your choice (including meal plans, shopping lists, recipes, avoid lists, and daily reminders). Several of you have taken us up on this offer and the early returns are very positive! This is an easy way for you to follow a healthy eating plan – it is all laid out for you!

If you are interested, let us know, and we will send you the link to get started. Click here for Eating Plan descriptions: https://brwellness.com/introducing-well-world-and-a-free-eating-plan-of-your-choice/

If the app is “too much” for you, we remind you of our classic standby – The Page Food Plan. Dr. Melvin Page was a dentist. He took the works of his fellow dentists Dr. Weston Price and Dr. Royal Lee and expanded upon them.

Their key finding was healthy human beings had a serum calcium to phosphorus ratio of 2.5 parts calcium to one-part phosphorus (10:4). This is what Dr. Price found in the native populations he studied and what Dr. Page later concurred with his patients. Dr. Page went on to show that those with higher calcium tended towards heart disease and atherosclerosis, while those with high phosphorus tended towards cancer. The underlying reasons are quite simple – too much calcium in the blood leads to clots and too much phosphorus weakened the immune system.

Page developed a specific diet – the Page Food Plan – that brought his patients’ blood chemistry into proper balance and they became healthy! The original plan was developed in the 1950’s and is available on my web site here: https://brwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/The-Page-Fundamental-Food-Plan-Food-Combining-Apendix-from-Lab-Desk-Ref.pdf

Number Two: Be Well – Support Your Immune System

Throughout the pandemic we have continued to stress the importance of supporting your immune system. While you may hear differing viewpoints on masks, lockdowns, positive cases, deaths, etc. at the end of the day no one really wants to get the “vid”.  Our position since the end of March is do the best you can to support your immune system. A big part of that is Number One: Eat Well and the second part is supplementation.

You can review the article describing what the experts are saying here: https://brwellness.com/immune-system-experts-what-they-say-and-what-they-are-doing-to-protect-themselves-and-their-families/.

Last month we introduced Bio-Fizz Immune from Designs for Health a product that contains the most important immune system supporting nutrients (Vitamin C, Vitamin D, quercetin, and zinc) all in one great tasting powder. This is great for kids as they head back to school as well as for the whole family.

For more details on BioFizz Immune click here: https://brwellness.com/immune-system-booster-all-in-one-introducing-biofizz-immune-from-designs-for-health/

This month Designs for Health released another awesome and family friendly product – Immuno-Zn Lozenges. Immuno-Zn™ Lozenge is a combination of zinc and elderberry delivered in an easy-to-dissolve lozenge with a delicious mixed berry flavor to support overall immune function. For more information click here: https://brwellness.com/another-immune-system-booster-from-designs-for-health-immuno-zn-lozenges/

 

Number Three: Be Well – Stress and Mental Health Support

Last month we introduced the supplement protocol feature of Well World. While we prefer to meet with you in person in the office and muscle test to determine the exact nutritional support program for you, Well World’s supplement protocol is the next best thing!

Sample protocols include stress reduction, improving mood, hormone balancing, improving digestion and anti-viral to name a few.

This feature is also great for your friends and family members who would like to work on a specific health issue but are not able to come to the office. It is especially beneficial for those not living in the area who would like to receive nutritional support from a trusted source.

If you are interested please call Bernie at 414-331-8796 or email bernie@brwellness.com. We appreciate you passing this information along to your friends and family members that may be interested.
