What are stem cells and how can they help us live long, healthy lives? Are there natural products that can assist us as we age?
What are stem cells?
At conception, cells begin to divide into what will become a person. Along the way the cells “differentiate” – that is, they become different tissues. Some become the heart, others the brain and so on until the complete human is formed. These are called “embryonic” stem cells. Highly controversial experiments are being conducted with samples of these cells.
Once a person is formed, does the human body stop making stem cells? No, because stem cells are part of our miraculous healing process. We make stem cells every day of our life. These are different from embryonic stem cells because they actually replace other cells. You see, every cell in your body has a life span. When that cell dies it needs to be replaced. Stem cells made in your bone marrow and other places in your body follow a chemical trail back to the place where the cell dies and “differentiate” into the type of cell that died.
Aging can be defined as the process of cell death and cell replacement. Premature aging is when more cells die than you can replace in a single day. Chronic disease and disability often accompany premature aging, as you might imagine. Stem cells replace dead cells. So, the more stem cells you can make in a day, the slower you are aging, the more vital you may be, and the less likely you are to experience the chronic diseases associated with premature aging.
Making stem cells
As I mentioned, we make stem cells every day. Dying cells release enzymes into your bloodstream. Your brain interprets the level of enzymes and sends an appropriate amount of Human growth hormone (HgH). When the HgH reaches the bone marrow or other stem cell “nursery,” it triggers the release of a number of stem cells that roughly correspond to the amount of HgH. The stem cells follow the chemical trail left by the enzymes of the dying cell. They follow the trail back to the space left by the dead cell and nestle into the tissues. Once there, they differentiate into the cell they replace – they literally become the exact type of cell they replaced.
Nutrients are required for making cells (including stem cells). If you are deficient in any critical nutrient at the moment you create stem cells, one of two things will happen:
1. Your bone marrow will refuse the order to meet that quota of stem cells, causing premature aging, or
2. The cells will be made, but without the nutrients critical for the health and longevity of the cell. When a deficient cell matures it becomes the target for inflammation and disease.
Cells need nutrients. Without all of the appropriate nutrients on board at all times, we will not be able to make as many healthy cells as we lose in a day. The disparity between how many cells we lose and how many we can replace is premature aging.
More stem cells
Nutrients serve as the foundation for stem cells. However, specific nutrients also stimulate the production of stem cells. At an anti-aging conference, six stem cell-stimulating nutrients were identified. As one speaker neared the end of his presentation, he talked about “a curious bioflavonoid” found in great abundance in prickly pears from the Nopal cactus. Of course, he was talking about Betalains! It turns out that Betalains along with Vitamin B-12 may help your body increase the production of stem cells.
More healthy stem cells close the gap between the numbers of cells that die and the number of cells we replace every day. That equals slower aging. So, take your nutrients every day: Men’s and Women’s Wellavoh for the nutrient foundation we need, Super Sublingual B-12 and Nopalea to encourage an abundant crop of anti-aging stem cells!

Part I of More About Betalains spoke about Quercetins, one of the 24 Betalains in Nopalea. It’s important to realize the significance of having all 24 known to mankind Betalains in the Nopal Cactus and that this only occurs in the Sonora Desert. If you replanted the Nopal Cactus in the Sahara Desert, it would only product about 12 Betalains. Why? Because the Sonoran Desert has the most extreme environment in the world and the Nopal Cactus needs all 24 to survive. Each Betalain plays an important part but to have all 24 in the Nopal cactus is very important for human health. To read Part I, you can go HERE.
Another Betalain is Beta Xanthine and it’s one of the most important Betalains for detoxification. This particular Betalain participates in detoxification of the liver and kidneys. Two of our bodies major pollutant filters. Beta Xanthine makes the detoxification in our bodies much easier.
Our bodies burn food to create energy. What you eat is like gasoline to a car. We need to consider ourselves a high performance engine; the higher octane the gasoline: the more nutritious food we eat, the better the engine runs. When we process our foods; burn our fuel, the creation of energy is called metabolism: breaking the food down to basic components (catabolism), and using that fuel to promote our health (anabolism). Eating the right foods makes us healthy and energetic.
But, as you may have guessed, there is always a fly in the lemonade. Our bodies must cope with toxins throughout our wellness journey. Toxins attack our bodies from the outside (exotoxins), they are in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink, toxins are even created by our bodies (endotoxins), it’s a daily battle waged on our bodies by toxic attackers. A leader among the endotoxic attackers id uric acid. High levels of uric acid are poisonous and high levels have been associated with heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, kidney stones and gout.
Uric acid is neutralized in the liver by enzymes, interestingly enough, the same liver enzymes that detoxify uric acid also detoxify many other poisons. So, improving the liver detoxification of uric acid, may well improve your ability to detoxify many other toxins in your body. Every time you drink Nopalea, you get a detoxifying bonus.
Uric acid is excreted by your kidneys, as you may know, your kidneys are extremely delicate and can be easily damaged by dehydration, too much protein or sugar in your diet, toxic metals like mercury, even other toxins like aspirin. Your kidneys can even be damaged by extreme temperatures in our environment, especially heat. We must protect our kidneys.
Beta Xanthine helps protect our liver and kidneys by neutralizing toxins such as uric acid and by increasing liver detoxification enzymes that rid our bodies of exotoxins and endotoxins and may even reduce the shock our kidneys face from excess heat.
Betalains, including Beta Xanthine, are anti-inflammatory and anti-toxin, just what the doctor ordered in a toxic and inflamed world! And, just like their grandfather Quercetin, Betalains are beneficial when it comes to improving our health and energy for daily performance.
A true gift from the harshest climate on the planet, the great Sonoran Desert of the southwest.

Everyone who has tried Nopalea agrees, it just tastes great and it serves up jaw dropping results when it comes to fighting chronic inflammation. But, did you know that this breakthrough wellness drink contains a unique class of nutrients called Betalains? Betalains are Bioflavonoids in the Quercetin family.
A Bioflavonoid is a vitamin like substance that works in concert with antioxidants like Vitamin C. They are useful in helping us to make collagen so our skin looks young, and strengthening blood vessels so we don’t bruise easily. Bioflavonoids help us resist allergens and infection from bacteria and viruses. They also have anti-inflammatory properties.
Quercetins are founds in foods we eat every day such as apples and onions. They are important in medical science because high intake of Quercetins coating foods results in low incidence of cancer and heart disease.
Betalains are the orphaned ‘grandchildren’ of Quercetins. None of the plant species related in the development of Betalains have survived the test of time, they have all become extinct except for beets, Swiss Chard and Nopal fruit, plants that are not even ‘distant cousins’ in the world of fruits and vegetables.
However, all 24 known Betalains are very important for human health. It is especially true today because they are all anti-toxin and anti-inflammatory. Environmental experts report dramatic increases in disease producing toxins in air, water and soil. Toxins produce inflammation, and most of the diseases we face start with inflammation: Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, etc.
Betalain content develops in response to the environment in which the plant grows. The more extreme the environment, the more protective Betalains the plant needs to produce in order to survive, and the more benefits we get when we consume the fruits and leaves of these plants.
So, while we get a few benefits from beets and rainbow Swiss Chard, we get the greatest benefit from the specific Nopal fruit of the Sonoran Desert because it contains all 24 known Betalains.

WELLAVOH – THE LATEST SONORAN BLOOM WELLNESS PRODUCT FROM THE NOPAL CACTUS IS NOW AVAILABLE.
WELLAVOH (WEL-LAH-VOH), A WORD DERIVED FROM THE NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGE OF THE SOUTHWESTERN DESERT REGION TRANSLATES TO MEAN ‘WELLNESS HARVEST’.
WELLAVOH – IS ROOTED IN THE HEALING PLANTS OF THE SONORAN DESERT AND BRINGS NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITIONS AND ANCIENT WISDOM FROM THE NOPAL CACTUS AND OTHER HEALING SONORAN BOTANICALS TO YOU IN IT’S PUREST AND FRESHEST FORM.
Day-to-day diets lack essential nutrients
It’s hard to get the essential daily nutrients your body needs from an average diet. With busy schedules, finding the time to prepare wholesome meals can seem nearly impossible. Many fast food restaurants offer a quick and easy solution to meals, but the food they serve lacks nutritional value and is usually very high in fat. In grocery stores, we often buy processed foods and frozen meals, which contain many additives that strip the foods’ nutritional value. Even the healthiest of diets can lack much-needed nutrients due to vegetables and fruit grown in depleted soils and poor farming conditions.
Your body weakens without the right nourishment
Your body is composed of trillions of cells that all work together to create an entire YOU. Imagine what would happen if, little by little, your cells began to get damaged from a lack of essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Damaged and undernourished cells can lead your body to a weakened immune system that drains you of energy and strength, and makes you more susceptible to illness. Wellavoh feeds your body the nutrients it desires or lacks, so it can fill in any gaps in nutrition.
Daily multi-vitamins are not enough
Many people take a daily multi-vitamin in order to make up for nutrient deficiencies. But this typically falls short. That’s because most daily multi-vitamins are not of the highest quality and standards. For example, they often lack the broad spectrum of nutrient classes your body needs. Or, their ingredients are made from synthetic substances, which are not easily absorbed by your body. Far too many multi-vitamins are formulated as “one type fits all,” with ingredients that aren’t gender specific. This is where Wellavoh comes in.
Take Wellavoh – the daily multi-nutrient complex for complete nutrition
Wellavoh is a solution to the daily nutritional deficiency that most people face. You can take it instead of your daily multi-vitamin because it gives you so much more. That’s why it’s called a “multi-nutrient” instead of a multi-vitamin. Wellavoh is composed of exceptional daily formulas for men and women with 22 different vitamins and minerals.
• The men’s formula supports optimal prostate, cholesterol and blood sugar health.
• The women’s formula supports optimal bone, skin, hormone and breast health.
• AM and PM formulas work two ways: AM for energy and vitality during the day, PM for repair and rejuvenation during the night.
• Four exclusive blends with rare and powerful nutrients derived from herbs, plants, fruits, oils and more.
• Six essential nutrient classes to make a complete multi-nutrient complex.
• Comes in easy-to-swallow, soft-gel capsules for improved absorption and maximum benefit.
• Individually packaged for convenient, on-the-go use.

On May 17th, 2009 I posted an article to this blog entitled, ‘The Truth About Nopalea’. It was my personal Nopalea story, chronicling my experience with this amazing product of TriVita’s, produced from the Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) of the Sonoran Desert.
If you haven’t read it, please do, click here before you continue, and read what happened. In that article I wrote that I was a skeptic who became a believer, but in my heart of hearts I am still a skeptic, it is just something I cannot overcome, it is in genes.
Can you see this coming? I decided to stop drinking Nopalea and see what happened.Here it is:
Day One – No difference.
Day Two – No difference.
Day Three – Soreness returning to shoulder.
Day Four - Soreness returning to shoulder. Actually starting to get pains in hip and neck that I forgot I had prior to using Nopalea.
Day Five – Upper right arm and right shoulder becoming more involved in pain. Hips getting more involved and the pain in my neck is increasing .
Day Six – The pain in the right shoulder, right side of my neck and upper arm is getting more intense, still not at the level before I started Nopalea, but, once again, in order to comfortably wash my hair this morning, I found myself resting my right elbow against the shower wall.
Day Seven – Not very hard to see where this is going, Time to Quit and resume using Nopalea.
I really did not expect to see such dramatic results when I temporarily paused my Nopalea usage. It was a real eye opener. TriVita never claimed Nopalea was a cure, but when you drink Nopalea for a period of time you tend to take for granted how good you feel, and you don’t realize how much Nopalea is doing for your body. Yet again, the skeptic in me has been quieted, although I doubt for good, I’m sure my natural skepticism will return to fight another day.
If you’d like to see how Nopalea can help you, call me on 856-264-7802. Ask me about the Nopalea Wellness Challenge and I’ll see if you qualify for a free bottle of Nopalea.

In many companies, their focus is on the creation of the product and not everyone gives thought about the Cycle of Life. That’s not the case with Nopalea. When Michael Ellison, CEO, discovered the Nopal Cactus and it’s rich benefits from the betalains and realized the powerful health benefits, one of his considerations was harvesting the Nopal Cactus.
TriVita found a local company that had been processing Nopal fruit for over 30 years using sustainable wildcrafting techniques learned from native Sonoran ancestors. This company knows just how to harvest the cactus fruit, making sure that it is perfectly ripe. Nopalea takes only what’s needed from the extraordinary Nopal cactus. Most of the fruit is left on the plant to nourish the desert animals and ensure an abundant crop for future harvests. It’s TriVita’s way of giving back, respecting the cycle of life and celebrating the harvest season.
Immediately after harvesting, the Nopal fruit is transported to a state–of–the–art processing plant, where it is juiced to a puree and blended with other natural ingredients to create a delicious and unique wellness drink. Using aseptic, sterile bottling techniques, the fruit’s purity and freshness is preserved – ensuring the potency of its powerful antioxidant Betalains.
It’s no wonder that TriVita has a less than 1% return rate on their products. If you look at TriVita’s 10 Foundational Values that they apply to all their products, you can see they offer premium products with integrity. TriVita ensures, in addition to their own quality control, that their products are full potency and meet all regulatory standards by commissioning third-party testing and research. TriVita also voluntarily adheres to the strict manufacturing guidelines of the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).Safety is a top priority in our packaging and manufacturing; we inspect each product at least 10 times and use two safety seals per package on all ingestible products to guarantee safety, freshness, and product potency.
As you can see, TriVita respects the cycle of life in harvesting the Nopal Cactus for Nopalea but it doesn’t stop there. From the desert to the bottle, you can be assured the highest of quality.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea and Golf? What do the two have in common?
Most golfers don’t think much about it, but the game — played by about 25 million Americans — can take a surprising toll on the body. And for older golfers especially, who aren’t as strong or flexible as they once were, it can lead to multiple aches and pains as well as injuries. Here’s what you should know about golf and then I’ll let you know how Nopalea can help you to better your game and you!
A Rough Game
According to the National Safety Council, last year golfers suffered around 35,000 injuries that required a trip to the emergency room or doctor. This is due to the simple fact that golf is a physical game that requires lots of twisting and turning, gripping and swinging, and bending and stooping, which places a lot of stress and strain on lower backs, hips, knees, shoulders, hands, wrists and elbows. And while walking a 9 or 18-hole round of golf over hilly terrain is great exercise, it, too, can take a physical toll on the body.
On top of that, many golfers drink caffeinated or alcoholic beverages before and during play, and aren’t aware that prescription medications, especially some heart medications, interfere with the body’s ability to cool itself — all of which increases the risk of heat sickness.
Avoiding Injuries
You can head off some of the physical stresses that come with golf by improving your golf fitness and by warming up before you play. Older golfers especially need to take time stretch their muscles, focusing on their legs, shoulders and back (Go to: http://mayoclinic.com/health/golf-stretches/SM00089 for a slide show of golf stretches).
And for instruction on how to improve your golf fitness and reduce injury there’s a variety of resources you can turn to such as the Titleist Performance Institute (www.mytpi.com), where you’ll find tips on golf exercises, stretching and injury prevention.
Golf Fitness Magazine Web site (www.golffitness-magazine.com) is another good resource that offers a golf fitness survey, blog, online exercise videos and a wide variety of helpful fitness articles. There are also dozens of books that provide tips on golf fitness such as “Dr. Divot’s Guide to Golf Injuries” and “Golf Rx” which you can find online at Amazon.com.
Already Injured
A great product to help you recover quickly from those painful inflamed muscles and joints is Sonoran Bloom Nopalea. A few ounces of this desert magic is all you need to help on your road to a quick recovery. Nopalea blends antioxidant-rich Nopal cactus superfruit with naturally sweet Agave nectar to bring you a deliciously unique concentrated wellness drink. Harnessing the power of betalains, a rare and powerful class of antioxidants that flourishes in the Nopal fruit, Nopalea delivers scientifically proven health benefits.
Nopalea has been proven to reduce inflammation and increase energy. Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

Watch the movie below to see a short preview (2 minutes) and then read below to find out why this is so fantastic and how you can be in a ground floor opportunity with a proven business model.
Most people haven’t heard of TriVita and for TriVita that wasn’t a problem because for 10 years they have been steadily building a strong and loyal customer base and loyal affiliate members. With TriVita, you can’t make $1,000,000 by next month, but if you could I would really doubt the legitimacy of that business.

I am sure you have read my other posts about the launch of Nopalea, one of TriVita’s newer products that has been making such a difference in people’s lives because one of the primary benefits is it reduces inflammation which has been helping relieve pain in anyone who has inflammation. Just search on inflammation in Google and you would be surprised at the number of conditions that are caused by inflammation. Better yet, call me and I’ll send you a report on what Time Magazine has called, the Secret Killer.
But what’s really exciting right now is TriVita has created an infomercial on both the new product and the addition to the business model, called Share and Earn, that is wrapped around their new product line called Sonoran Bloom. With this model, you can join TriVita for $35.00. It’s like a business in a box concept.
If that’s not exciting enough to have TriVita air these infomercials as well as radio ads, direct mail and internet marketing to get the word out about the new product that has been taking the US and Canada by storm (within a few months, without TriVita’s customers knowing about it, Nopalea became Canada’s #1 product and US’ #3 product of their 50 other nutritional products), but . . .
We will be able to acquire both Nopalea customers AND affiliate members (people who have joined the business) from TriVita.
Can you imagine how fast your business will grow with building it by sharing the product and the other ways you can build TriVita AND now also acquire customers and Affilate Members from the infomercials that TriVita generates?
Do you know how powerful that it is and how you can truly build a team that can succeed. Do you see how TriVita has removed all reasons for failure in a business? Now is the very best time to be part of TriVita.
Try Nopalea and see how it can help you and if you’d like to find out how you can also earn $500 to $2,000 by sharing Nopalea, call me on 856-264-7802 or go HERE to find out more.

More and more people are finding out about Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.
People are getting results within weeks including myself.
You can read about my testimonial on this post but what I’d like to share in this post is the top 10 reasons to love Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.
Nopalea helps your body with Inflammation. If inflammation is your problem Nopalea is your answer. Whether you feel it or not , your body fights inflammation every day. This is because your body is under constant attack from an array of toxins. These toxins exist every where in our environment, in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and even the water we drink. When these toxins penetrate the body, our body responds with inflammation. Too much inflammation is dangerous and can lead to debilitating illness. Nopalea helps your body reduce this inflammation and helps to detoxify your system.
Nopalea helps your body relieve pain. Testimonials for Nopalea have been flooding the customer service center from customers and affiliate members raving about Noplalea’s amazing pain-reduction properties. As Nopalea works to help your body reduce inflammation, it also relieves the pain associated with that inflammation.
Nopalea has incredible antioxidant properties. Betalains are powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation in your body. There are only 24 known Betalains in nature. These powerful antioxidants help your body in different ways, each one answering a particular health need by supplying specific structure and function to human cells. A few Betalains can be found in limited vegetables and desert fruit, but only the Nopal cactus fruit of the Sonoran Desert is the only fruit found to contain all 24 Betalains. Each bottle of Nopalea brims with health benefits of these powerful Betalains.
Nopalea helps your body relieve breathing difficulties. Breathing difficulties often associated with allergies or asthma are the result of inflammation around the bronchial tubes. Nopalea helps your body reduce inflammation, allowing the bronchial tubes to stay mucus free.
Nopalea tastes great. A drink that is so good for you usually tastes terrible. But Nopalea has an incredibly delicious and unique taste. It’s hard to believe something as tasty as Nopalea is actually good for you.
Nopalea doesn’t have any added sugar. Nopalea is sweetened with a natural form of sugar. It contains Agave nectar, which is 40% sweeter than sugar. This gives Nopalea a pleasant honey-like taste and makes this wellness drink diabetic friendly, or for those on a weight loss regimen.
Nopalea energizes your life. When you rid your body of damaging toxins and you begin to feel a sense of energy and well being coming back into your life. Nopalea can give you a sensational feeling of health and energy as it works to heklp your body reduce inflammation, detoxify and protect your system at the celluar level.

The magic of the Sonoran Desert has long been a source of nourishment and healing for the native peoples of the Sonoran Desert region. For thousands of years the native people of this harsh desert region have relied on the native plant life to eat, house and clothe themselves, ease pain, treat diseases and much more.
Today more people are rediscovering the healing power of the abundant plant life found thriving in the harshest of the world’s deserts, the great Sonoran Desert of the Southwest, just as TriVita’s leadership did to produce its breakthrough wellness drink Nopalea.
TriVita tapped the healing power of the Nopal Cactus for Nopalea’s key healing ingredients, Betalains. All 24 known Betalains, the world’s most powerful antioxidants, are only found in the fruit of the Nopal Cactus in the vast Sonoran Desert.
As if that wasn’t phenomenal enough, the Nopal Cactus is not the only super plant that is native to the high Sonoran Desert, here are a few more:
Agave. You can make tea from this succulent’s fleshy leaves to help relieve pain, then sweeten your tea with its nectar: it’s six times sweeter than sugar.
Mesquite. Called the ‘tree of life,’ this hardy tree offers pods used for jelly and a gluten-free meal, black pitch used as paint and hair dye, and bark so absorbent it was used as baby diapers.
Guayule. Healthcare professionals with latex allergies love this shru. Why? It contains rubber, and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a substitute for latex.
Jojoba. “Save the Whales” Actually, the oil from this plant’s seed, “saved the sperm whale,” when it was discovered that jojoba oil was a great substitute in cosmetics, and as a lubricant. It is also thought to be an appetite suppressant and burn remedy. Who knew?
Yerba mansa. The dried root was used to treat mouth sores, sore throat and gum disease. As an added bonus, it has a refreshing menthol/eucalyptus taste.
“Scientists will say that plant for plant, there are as many useful plants in the desert as there are in the rainforest.”Obviously, the bounty of the desert is no mirage. The Sonoran Desert is truly an oasis of help and healing, with many rediscoveries yet to come.
