Make your happiness the number one thing in your life. Happiness is an inside job.
You have choice. You can select joy over despair in your life. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that people tell you you're not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you. - Leo Buscaglia.

I changed my Health last year when, after a trip to Salt Lake City Utah to meet with the owner of Xooma worldwide, I found Kardiaxyme. I have lowered my Cholesterol and been able to stop using Statin drugs.
*****Edit*****
It's unfortunate that Xooma and the management team didnt turn out to be what I though they were.

Statins may not cut risk of cancer
Statins may not cut risk of cancer
November 1st, 2011
Author: Philip Ridley
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute have suggested that a cholesterol reducing drug called simvastatin helps keep cancer at bay, and it is being proposed for breast cancer victims.
All of the newspapers have picked up on this press release, as they always do, without question. The Institute itself have stated that further studies are required and they only make the claim that these statins may avoid breast cancer relapse. There is also widespread, readily available evidence from a growing number of scientists and doctors that statins are not beneficial and that they can cause significant harm.
The truth is, that cholesterol can only cause cancer if it is oxidized and becomes a free radical. Cholesterol is a very delicate compound, which is why the body encases it in protein when transporting it. LDL, purportedly the bad cholesterol, is the protein casing for cholesterol traveling from the liver to where it is required, and HDL, purportedly the good cholesterol, is the protein casing for cholesterol when it returns to the liver for recycling.
If all cholesterol produced by the liver was bad, then how did we survive as a species to date? If the liver is well nourished with sufficient nutrient dense foods, it produces a perfectly healthy LDL cholesterol. However, the protein casing becomes malformed when the liver is malnourished, leaving the cholesterol it produces vulnerable to oxidation. The liver is a very fatty organ which requires liberal quantities of fats and fat soluble vitamins to function properly, particularly vitamin A. Unfortunately, with natural animal fats blamed for “bad” cholesterol, people are avoiding the very foods necessary for proper cholesterol production.
The other major source of oxidised cholesterol is processed food. Cholesterol, being a delicate molecule, is always protected in natural whole foods. However, many common foods are now highly processed. This tends to damage the protection foods provide to cholesterol, thus allowing it to oxidize and become harmful. Culprits include powdered milk. This is added to many ice-creams and low fat dairy products to add bulk. It is also used to standardize the fat content in milk, with now even the organic Marks and Spencers milk being standardized. I see it also in many other processed foods. Powdered eggs also have oxidised cholesterol and are used in many processed foods. This is only a very short list of the many high pressure, high temperature processes that should be avoided.
We are told to avoid animal products, but processing is done just as much to products containing polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Unfortunately, they are far more delicate and are more likely to become damaged and rancid, exposing us to free radicals and trans-fats at far lower heats and temperatures. This is why seed oils tend to be sold cold pressed and in dark bottles to protect them from sunlight when sold at health food stores. Yet these are the primary fats used for cooking and in processed foods. And then there is the recent fad of purchasing cold pressed rapeseed oil and cooking with it!
Ironically, properly formed LDL cholesterol is a potent anti-oxidant, helping protect the body from cancer. This is just one of cholesterol's many roles. The consumption of antioxidants reduces blood cholesterol levels because those antioxidants will do cholesterols’ work, and the liver will only produce cholesterol that the body needs. Therefore, whilst statins may reduce oxidized cholesterol, it will also reduce beneficial healthy cholesterol, potentially leading to more free radicals and a greater chance of cancer, particularly for those who do not consume many antioxidants and who continue to eat processed food.

My Kardiaxyme results, My Cholesterol History.
In 1987, I worked for Garrett Turbine Engine Company in Phoenix Arizona. Phenomenal company that had a fantastic family atmosphere. Garrett TEC actually cared about their employees. In 1987 they started a Wellness program and testing was free for all employees.
I scheduled a time to get myself tested.
1987 I was 25yrs old, 6' tall 190lbs in GREAT shape because I competitively cycled, Motocrossed, Weight trained and played Volleyball. I figured I would set the mark for others to achieve. 25 and had attitude....what are the chances of that :-)
One week later, they called me into the office to talk about my results. My Pulmonary Function Tests were 122% for people in my age group. BUT.......my cholesterol was 368 and my Triglycerides were 1800+ !!! the plus meant they couldn't test any "higher" . The doctor told me it was hereditary and I needed meds immediately.
Of course, I didn't do it. I was shocked with my results. But, What do "They" know. I can fix this myself. After a year of trying, I went on Statin drugs in 1988 and I'm still on them. I've continued to get tested at least once a year since also.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast forward to December 2010. My good friend Bryan tells me about a company that is coming out with an all natural product that lowers cholesterol and has no side affects. Yeah, sure it does but, I trust Bryan and I figured nothing else has ever worked why not try this too. I had my blood lipid panels tested and started taking the product at the end of January 2011.
I just received my 5 month cholesterol test results TODAY, June 28th,2011.
During the past 5 months on KardiaXyme- And as of Today -my highs and lows are as follows:
___________________High_________Low_____Points_____Percentage Change
Total Cholesterol______239_________180______-59__________-24%
Triglycerides__________300_________232______-68__________-22%
HDL (healthy)_________ 40__________35______+5__________+13% (higher is better)
LDL (lousy)___________142__________96______-46__________-32%
With Kardiaxyme and after being on Statin Drugs for 23 years .......
MY CHOLESTEROL is the LOWEST EVER !!!! I AM SO HAPPY I WENT ON KARDIAXYME !!!!!!!!!
if it worked for me , it will work for everyone!
I still take statins but, I will be discussing reduction with my doctor soon. Do you realize just how BIG this is for me? :-)
I'm 49 years old. If I never found out about my cholesterol problem 24 years ago I would probably not be writing this today. I was a ticking time bomb. I probably would have been one of those mid 30 something year olds that we see have heart attacks and not make it. Honestly, what "healthy" 25year old guy gets his cholesterol tested? I wouldn't have thats for sure!
=========================================================================
UPDATE 11/03/11
During the month of July, I slowly started weening myself off statin drugs. This process took ~45 days.
DO NOT DO THIS WITH OUT YOUR DOCTORS RECOMMENDATION
I retested at the end of October - my Cholesterol is holding at 191 !!! I am OFF of statin drugs !

Possible Link between Type 2 diabetes and Cholesterol Lowering drugs
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-20073291-10391704.html
(CBS) Do cholesterol-lowering drugs raise the risk for diabetes?
A new study suggests people who take high doses of popular statin drugs like Lipotor and Zocor face a heightened risk for type 2 diabetes, a disease that affects more than 25 million Americans.
"Overall, we found that high doses were associated with a 12 percent increased risk of diabetes compared with standard doses," study co-author Dr. Kausik Ray, professor of cardiovascular disease prevention at St George's in London, told Reuters.
Researchers took a close look at experiments involving 33,000 heart patients taking statins and found almost 8.4 percent of them developed diabetes. Almost 4.5 percent of those patients were taking a high dosage (80 mg a day) and almost 4 percent were on moderate dosages (10 mg to 40 mg a day).
What might explain the link between statins and diabetes? Some experts theorized that the heart patients on the high-dose regimen were already predisposed to developing diabetes. Others noted that statins can cause muscle soreness, and theorized that that soreness might have led to a sedentary lifestyle that triggered diabetes, WebMD reported.
Whatever the case, the authors of the study said in a written statement that doctors should carefully monitor their statin-taking patients for diabetes.
Should people who take statins consider going off the drugs?
"Patients who need high doses of statins are at very high risk of heart attacks and strokes," Dr. Ray told Reuters. "They should not come off these drugs."
The study was published in the June 22 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Heart Surgeon Admits Huge Mistake!
Without inflammation, cholesterol won't accumulate in blood vessel walls and cause heart disease
Heart Surgeon Admits Huge Mistake!
By Dwight Lundell, MD
We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong.. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact.
I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labeled “opinion makers.”
Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we
opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol.
The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter of course we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice.
It Is Not Working!
These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated.
The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and
diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.
Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before.
Statistics from the American Heart Association show that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million have pre-diabetes.
These disorders are affecting younger and younger people in greater numbers every year.
Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that
cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.
Inflammation is not complicated -- it is quite simply your body's natural defense to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process,a condition occurs called chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.
What thoughtful person would willfully expose himself repeatedly to foods or other
substances that are known to cause injury to the body? Well, smokers perhaps, but at least they made that choice willfully.
The rest of us have simply followed the recommended mainstream diet that is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing
repeated injury to our blood vessels. This repeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, Stroke, diabetes and obesity.
Let me repeat that. The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine.
What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the
overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.
Take a moment to visualize rubbing a stiff brush repeatedly over soft skin until it becomes quite red and nearly bleeding. You kept this up several times a day, every day for five years. If you could tolerate this painful brushing, you would have a bleeding, swollen infected area that became worse with each repeated injury.
[Ed. Note: Dr. Dwight Lundell is the past Chief of Staff and Chief of Surgery at Banner Heart Hospital , Mesa , AZ. His private practice, Cardiac Care Center was in Mesa , AZ.
Recently Dr. Lundell left surgery to focus on the nutritional treatment of heart disease. He is the founder of Healthy Humans Foundation that promotes human health with a focus on helping large corporations promote wellness. He is the author of "The Cure for Heart Disease and The Great Cholesterol Lie"]

Statin drugs - possibly raising the risk of Diabetes?
The Hidden Diabetes Link No One is Telling You About...
By Suzy Cohen, R.Ph.
Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, killing one in five adults, and doctors are very quick to prescribe statins. In fact, statin drug sales rank in the billions each year globally.
These drugs are so pervasive that they are no longer just indicated for hypercholesterolemia, they are also being prescribed for elevations in C reactive protein, and are promoted for kids as young as eight years old.
Heart disease is so pervasive that some have boldly suggested that we should put statins in our water supply as some kind of protection.
This is very disturbing.
Do You Really Need a Statin Drug?
By far, statin drugs are the most popular cholesterol-lowering drugs available today. They work in your liver by preventing your body from making cholesterol. The drugs block an enzyme called HMG-CoA Reductase. This can be helpful, but only if you are one of those people who happen to produce too much cholesterol.
It doesn't do a good job at removing it from your clogged arteries, contrary to what most people think.
Physicians and health experts now agree that statins seem to offer more benefit through their ability to reduce dangerous inflammatory chemicals in your body, rather than by reducing production of cholesterol, which usually leads to uncomfortable, unwanted and dangerous side effects. One study found that lowering cholesterol too much actually backfires.
Cholesterol is good for you; it's one of your body's most powerful antioxidants, it makes important neurotransmitters and sex hormones so this madness to lower it as much as possible really concerns me. Plus, I believe the indiscriminate use of statins has contributed to the staggering rise in diabetes…
The Statin—Diabetes Connection Few People Know About
I watched this happen to my mom who was given a statin, and then told months later she suddenly had diabetes. All of a sudden? This happened many years ago, and it began my search to understand the connection. It also prompted me to write a book on the subject entitled "Diabetes Without Drugs" (Rodale, 2010).
It typically happens like this:
Many statin users come back to see their physician for a routine visit and after the blood work is drawn, they find their cholesterol ratios may be improved, but now they have high blood glucose.
It's entirely possible that some physicians then mistakenly diagnose their patients with "Type 2 diabetes" when in fact they just have hyperglycemia—a side effect, and the result of a medication that was prescribed to them months earlier.
Do you think you have type 2 diabetes?
I will provide more information so you can see for yourself that so-called "diabetes" diagnosis might not really be genuine diabetes. It may just be hyperglycemia (high blood sugar)—the result of your cholesterol medication, and for some people, it may be reversible with drug discontinuation. Whether or not you are able to discontinue your medication is between you and your physician.
Research Suggesting Raised Blood Sugar is a Side Effect of Statin Use
Several studies have indicated that statins can cause high blood sugar, which can be mistaken for "diabetes." For example, researchers in Glasgow, Scotland conducted a meta analysis, known as the JUPITER trial, which took into account 13 statin trials that each included 1,000 patients or more. The participants were followed for over than a year. The conclusion was there was indeed an increase, albeit small, in the development of Type 2 diabetes.
It should be considered that some of the patients in this meta analysis already had symptoms of insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, so it could be said that they were on their way to diabetes anyway.
Now consider another meta-analysis published in the Lancet Here, the researchers reviewed randomized controlled trials beginning in 1994 and ending in 2009, for a total of 91,140 participants who took either a statin or a placebo.
They found that people treated with statin drugs showed a nine percent increase for diabetes. They did not evaluate other factors however, which would be considered pre-diabetes, so I suspect their nine percent number to be on the low side.
Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that reduces blood sugar. You want some insulin to maintain blood glucose levels, but too much of it is bad—it's an inflammatory compound in your body when it is elevated. And guess what? The use of statin drugs appears to INCREASE your insulin levels! High insulin is extremely harmful to your health.
For starters, elevated insulin levels lead to heart disease, and isn't that the reason cholesterol drugs are prescribed in the first place?
The ratio of glucose to insulin should be less than 10:1, this ratio is far more important than the levels of glucose or insulin alone. Keep that in mind if you seek a complete recovery. For more information about the harmful effects of elevated insulin levels, see my article on dearpharmacist.com, or my book Diabetes Without Drugs.
You want to keep insulin normal, to protect yourself from heart disease and high blood pressure. Chronically elevated insulin causes a cascade of inflammatory chemicals and high cortisol which lead to belly fat, high blood pressure, heart attacks, chronic fatigue, thyroid disruption, plus major diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and cancer.
Unfortunately, the most popular cholesterol drugs in the world seem to increase insulin levels. However, that's just one mechanism by which these drugs can raise your risk for diabetes.
How Statins Raise Your Insulin
Keeping things simple, you might imagine it like this: When you eat a meal that contains starches and sugar, some of the excess sugar goes to your liver, which then stores it away as cholesterol and triglycerides. Now stay with me -- when you have a statin on board, it's like a message to your liver saying, "No! Don't make any more cholesterol, please stop."
So your liver sends the sugar back OUT to your bloodstream. As a result, your blood sugar goes up.
In 2009, it was proven that statins could directly raise blood sugar, whether or not you have diabetes. Over 340,000 people were included before this conclusion was made. The people who did not have diabetes but took statins experienced a rise in blood glucose from 98 mg/dl to 105 mg/dl. Those who already had diabetes and also took statins experienced a rise from 102 mg/dl to 141 mg/dl.
After adjustments for age and medication use were considered, researchers concluded that both diabetic and non-diabetic statin users showed a statistically significant rise in blood sugar.
Why take all these risks, just to get the convenience of taking a pill instead of eating a better diet and exercising?
It's been scientifically discussed and even published in JAMA that eating a better diet could lower cholesterol as well as the statin drug lovastatin.
And of course, there are so many other benefits to eating a healthier diet that consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and lean meats. Besides feeling better and increasing lifespan, you can squeeze into those skinny jeans you're hiding in your closet.
Another way statins can affect your blood sugar is via their "drug mugging" effect. A drug mugger is my term, and the title of my newest book, which describes how a drug can rob your body's warehouse of a valuable nutrient. In the case of statins, they rob your body of two different nutrients, both of which are needed to maintain ideal blood sugar.
Two Important Nutrients Decimated by Statins
The first nutrient that is mugged is vitamin D. There have been mixed studies regarding the D-depletion effect of statins, but statins reduce your body's natural ability to create active vitamin D called 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, shortened to "calcitriol" when it is eventually converted to its active hormone form.
This happens because statins reduce cholesterol, and you need cholesterol to make vitamin D! It is the raw material that exposure to UVB from sunlight will convert to vitamin D.
It is well documented that D improves insulin resistance, so needless to say, when you take a drug mugger of vitamin D (like statins), then you increase your risk for diabetes.
More specifically, a 2004 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition determined that raising a person's serum vitamin D levels (from 25 to 75 nmol/l) could improve insulin sensitivity by a whopping 60 percent.
Compare that to the blockbuster diabetes drug metformin, one of our pharmaceutical gold-standards, which can dispose of blood sugar by a meager 13 percent according to the New England Journal of Medicine.
Now, statins also suppresses your natural coenzyme Q10— also called "ubiquinol" in its active form; it makes energy for every cell in your body, and it's produced mainly in your liver.
This powerful antioxidant just so happens to also play a role in maintaining blood glucose. When you deplete levels of CoQ10 by taking a drug mugger of it, like a statin drug, then you lose that benefit. You also raise your risk for heart failure, high blood pressure and heart disease as CoQ10 deficiencies can contribute to those conditions. A study by Hodgson et al, published in 2002 found that 200mg CoQ10 taken daily caused a 0.4 percent reduction in hemoglobin A1c.
Moreover, CoQ10 protects your body from oxidative stress, a strong contributing factor in the development of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart attacks. You want to make sure you have enough CoQ10 (or ubiquinol) on board to protect every cell in your body. The take home point is that statins annihilate this compound and you need it for good health.
In summary, if you take a statin medication and you've been told that you have diabetes, it may be drug-induced, and it's possible that it can be reversed over the course of time. However, you will have to eat right, exercise, and take supplements that help to lower your risk for heart disease naturally.

ProAlgaZyme Algae infusion (PAX) is now known as Kardiaxyme from Xooma
According to the American Heart Association, an estimated 102 million adults in the U.S. qualify as having high blood cholesterol. From a supplement standpoint, fiber, phytosterols and fish oil are the most go-to natural products for cholesterol support, though traditional therapy typically includes extra attention to diet and exercise in combination with aspirin or statin therapy.
For the last two years, Scottsdale, AZ-based Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (HEPI) has been studying the cholesterol-lowering effectiveness of its naturally-derived ingredient called ProAlgazyme and has so far enjoyed very promising results.
ProAlgaZyme Algae infusion (PAX) is a liquid product produced from algae grown in 100% distilled water. The liquid in which the algae are grown is drawn off, filtered, tested and bottled as ProAlgaZyme. The product is made from algae but does not contain algae. According to HEPI, PAX has demonstrated the ability to support heart health, immune defense, blood sugar maintenance, weight management and healthy inflammation response.
But it’s been the product’s ability to lower LDL cholesterol that has garnered the most noteworthy attention. In 2009, researchers at Wayne State University’s Department of Nutrition and Food Science put the product through clinical paces and found it had the capacity to lower LDL cholesterol while raising HDL cholesterol in animal subjects.
Specifically, results indicated that test subjects demonstrated a “31% decrease in LDL cholesterol” with “no significant impact on triglycerides,” as well as a “3% decrease in total cholesterol”—all without any observed adverse effects.
Buoyed by the positive findings, HEPI set out to identify and isolate the active cholesterol agents, which were intermingled with thousands of biological components, including numerous proteins. Earlier this year, HEPI announced that its work was successful, and subsequently filed a protective patent application.
In a HEPI Power Point presentation encapsulating ProAlgazyme, Dr. Fazlul H. Sarkar, professor of Pathology at Wayne State University School of Medicine’s Karmanos Cancer Institute, stated that ProAlgazyme and Platelet factor-4 (PF4), an amino acid protein, “significantly and beneficially change the rate of synthesis of key proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism.” He further added that “Oral administration of ProAlgaZyme & PF4 is highly effective, and well-suited as a nutritional supplement or as the foundation for development of novel drugs.”
HEPI is optimistic that ProAlgazyme is poised for success in the realm of products that provide support for healthy cholesterol. The company said its product is in a unique position because its efficacy has already been proven not just in animals but also in humans.
To further cement the confidence in ProAlgazyme, HEPI has also prepared a GRAS panel review for submission to FDA, and has not ruled out pursuing the FDA’s Qualified Health Claims. The company also hasn’t ruled out the idea that the ProAlgazyme’s active cholesterol-regulating agent could be a suitable pharmaceutical candidate, however the financing and research involved in that type of endeavor is a weight task that the company is not yet ready to pursue.
“We are approaching the food ingredient and nutraceutical markets with a truly unique offering—a portfolio of bioactive compounds well-suited as ingredients or supplements, tailored to desired health attributes,” the company said. “On the horizon are other applications, ranging from pre-surgical treatments to medicinal foods and the promise of unique health and wellness therapies.”

Health Enhancement Products Updates Shareholders
Monday, 21 March 2011 04:00
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - March 21, 2011) - Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (OTCBB: HEPI) today outlined recent developments within the company in an effort to keep shareholders informed of its progress.
HEPI has been notified by its exclusive distributor, Xooma, that it has re-branded HEPI's ProAlgaZyme® product as "Kardiaxyme." (Xooma assumed Zus' rights and obligations under the distribution agreement between HEPI and Zus).Xooma plans to officially launch the newly branded product with its impressive new packaging within the next 45 days. Individuals who wish to purchase the product now can do so by contacting Xooma at www.kardiaxyme.com.Xooma has already completed a successful pre-launch of the Kardiaxyme product to a select group of distributors. Based on the results of this pre-launch, Xooma has requested that HEPI expand its production to a level that is more than twenty times HEPI's previous capacity. The company is hopeful that the expected increase in orders from Xooma will result in much improved operating cash flows.
HEPI recently announced the leasing of a new facility which it intends to use for its headquarters and production space. HEPI's objectives in seeking new space were threefold.First, the company needed a space that it could more easily convert into a GMP (good manufacturing practice) compliant facility.Secondly, the company was seeking a more efficient manufacturing space that could help it overcome production challenges.Thirdly, there was a desire to reduce operating expenses, if possible.The company believes that the new space meets all of the above objectives.
HEPI's Research and Development efforts have been directed toward actively pursuing an analysis of PAZ™ to try and identify the "class of compounds," and the "active ingredient," to identify the single molecule or molecules, if possible, responsible for the potential cholesterol benefits the company's testing has identified.Substantial time, money, and effort have been expended in this regard.The company believes that it is making substantial progress towards achieving these hoped for results, but more investigation is needed. The company plans to update shareholders as the identification process is completed.
John Gorman, HEPI Executive Vice President of Operations, commented, "We are pleased that we now have a facility that with appropriate improvements can accommodate production of our product on a mass scale. Xooma will be an excellent marketing partner as they now have first-hand experience when discussing our product." Mr. Gorman concluded, "Moving into our new facility will allow us to more fully automate everything from growing, harvesting, filtering and bottling in a straight line production. It marks another important milestone in allowing us to finally begin the process of monetizing our valuable asset."

Jeff Staples lowers his cholesterol with Xooma Kardiaxyme by Larry Petrucci
My good friend Jeff Staples from Gilbert, AZ decided to try Kardiaxyme a little over 30 days ago in the month of February. Many times during his work week, his profession has him directly involved with the aftermath of poor health decisions and chronic disease.
Jeff also understands the side effects of statin drugs and even though he has a hereditary cholesterol condition, he has personally chose not to go on statins.
Jeff knew he was feeling better and even though the typical retesting after starting on this product is 90 days, Jeff was curious and wanted 30 day results.
this turned out to be nothing short of amazing !!
Total Cholesterol went from 296, down to 268...... Down 28!
LDL the Lousy Cholesterol went from 200, down to 180 ...... Down 20!
HDL the Healthy Cholesterol went from 49, up to 50 ..... up 1!
Triglicerides went from 200 down to 191 ..... Down 9!
I cant wait to see what the recommended 90 day retesting results will be !

A window of opportunity...
A window of opportunity...
About 4 weeks ago, Xooma's President and CEO, Ron Howell, was explaining to us that he had just walked out the door of his doctor's office and had received his most recent blood test results. The reason he was so excited is because his blood test revealed concrete proof of the results he personally gained by using Xooma's brand new product - KardiaXyme (KX).
After just 30 days of using "KX" at the recommended dosage level (4 ounces per day), here were Ron's personal blood test results:
* His bad cholesterol (LDL) level went DOWN a total of 16.5% (19 points).
* His good cholesterol (HDL) went UP 3.6% (2 points).
* His blood pressure was completely normal without taking any medication.
What makes this even more exciting is the fact that Ron is a very healthy guy to start with. His blood tests before taking KX revealed that his cholesterol levels were substantially better than most men his age. (He didn't have what doctors call a "high cholesterol" problem)
Now, our Xooma Members are starting to report their own amazing results!
A very small group of Xooma Members were lucky enough to get the very first bottles of KX in their hands about 45 days ago. Many of those Members decided to have their blood tested before taking the product. And now, after just a few weeks of using KX, some of those Members are already reporting significant positive results in their health.
And while we can't share the details of their personal results with you just yet, one thing has become crystal clear...
KardiaXyme works!
In fact, just the "word of mouth" buzz that has developed around this product has sold out all of our early supplies of KX. But we have good news...
We just received another shipment of KX today and are filling all remaining orders for those of you who have been waiting for the product.
The best news:
For the very first time, we're going to have KX on the shelf at Xooma's World Headquarters and ready for immediate shipment. That means when you order KardiaXyme this week it will be packed and shipped within 24 hours.
**PLEASE NOTE that current supplies of KX are still very limited during our "Pre-Launch" phase. So, to avoid a potential delay in delivery of this amazing product, we highly recommend placing your next order (or your monthly autoship order) for KX as soon as possible.
KX is a 100% natural liquid infusion product that comes in 32 ounce bottles. Here's the special order options:
Buy 3 (KX) - Get 1 FREE: Retail: $299.96
Member price: $149.97 (150 QV / 100 PV) ITEM #2704
We have eliminated Membership fees, there is no charge to join.

Take a blood test. Ask your Doctor to do a Full Lipid panel/Cholesterol Test and "VAP" test. Then after 30 days, take another blood test to see how much your total cholesterol, HDL and LDL has changed!

Structured Purified water Infusion with specially selected Algae
Purified Infusion of specially selected Algae.
The clear solution does not contain algae, but all the benefits are captured in the pure, clear infusion water.
About KardiaXyme
KardiaXyme is one-of-a-kind supplement that supports total body health.This powerful liquid infusion comes from a rare combination of specially chosen freshwater algae obtained through a proprietary harvesting process. This results in an ultra-pure liquid supplement with a clean, refreshing taste and a amazing combination of reported health benefits.
Take KardiaXyme Daily to Support your cardiovascular health
Help maintain healthy HDL and LDL cholesterol levels already within normal range
Maintain healthy blood pressure levels already within normal range
Support normal blood sugar levels within normal range

How Kardiaxyme is made
Freshwater algae is grown in large tanks filled with distilled water that's circulated among the tanks. After a period of growing time, the water is drawn off the algae tanks, filtered, tested for purity and then bottled.
KardiaXyme has quietly become one of the best-kept secrets inside the nutritional products industry because many other companies use it as their water base in extremely high-potency liquid supplements. There's even an effort to research Kardiaxyme as a future pharmaceutical. But of course, we don't need it to be classified as a "drug" to benefit from the substance right now as a nutritional supplement. That's what's so great about the availability of this product right now: It's affordable and readily available.
You only need to take a few ounces each day to benefit from Kardiaxyme. It probably wouldn't make sense, of course, to grow your own algae infused water in aquariums at homes, because that's probably far more complex than any of us would care to get into. Each bottle of Kardiaxyme contains 32 fluid ounces.
Kardiaxyme is readily available. (And don't forget to juice raw organic vegetables whenever you have the time, too!)
These products are not intended to cure, treat, prevent or diagnose any condition.

They are now grown in a controlled environment in pure water, nourished by simulated sunlight. The water they live in is filtered to make ProAlgaZyme® Infusion. ProAlgaZyme® is composed of unique bioactive elements, extensively researched to maximize potential as a dietary supplement, functional food and pharmaceutical. Independent clinical testing has shown ProAlgaZyme® provides immune support, maintains cardiovascular health, promotes normal inflammation response, and helps to maintain healthy weight and blood sugar levels within the normal range*.
Cardiovascular
Maintain healthy ‘good’ & ‘bad’ cholesterols, blood pressure and CRP levels in normal ranges.* Immune Health Support a healthy immune defense!*
Metabolism
Maintain healthy weight and blood sugar levels within normal ranges.*
Inflammation
Promote a healthy inflammation response!*
Safety & Side Effects
Independent clinical safety studies and decades of use indicate ProAlgaZyme® is safe and well-tolerated.* We have not received any reports of significant side effects to date. NO side effects were observed in studies where participants consumed up to a bottle a day (20 oz.) for 12 weeks. NO negative effects were noted in rats that drank ProAlgaZyme® Algae Infusion as their only water source for an entire year!
*These statements have not been evaluated by the US Food
and Drug Administration. ProAlgaZyme® is not intended to
treat, prevent, cure or mitigate any disease.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is ProAlgaZyme or ‘PAZ’?
It is an amazing liquid supplement made from algae (‘coldwater algae tea’), taken daily for total body health. PAZ helps support healthy immune, cardiovascular & metabolic function and a healthy inflammation response.* How soon will I feel PAZ working? You may not notice its effects right away, but over time you may notice changes in your energy level or sleep quality, or find relief from the aches and pains of aging. Some feel its effects quickly, after only a day or two. Like exercise, it may take time to work in your body. Try the product daily for 4 weeks to find out what it will do for you. Seven out of 10 people come back for more after just 30 days of use.
How much do I take? Can I mix it?
We recommend 1 oz. one to four times a day, on an empty stomach. Clinical studies were conducted with 4 oz. per day or more. Less ProAlgaZyme® may be sufficient depending on your needs. ProAlgaZyme® should not be mixed with food or beverages. It is best to take it on an empty stomach.
What does ProAlgaZyme® taste like?
Do I need to refrigerate it?
Some describe a mild & pleasant grassy flavor. Some taste only very pure water. It is not necessary to keep PAZ refrigerated, although some prefer it cold. We recommended keeping it in a cool, dark place. DO NOT FREEZE.
Are there side effects?
A very small percentage of customers (<1%) report mild diarrhea for the first day or two that subsides quickly. No other side effects have been reported. Can I give ProAlgaZyme to my pets?
ProAlgaZyme® can easily be administered to pets by adding it to their water bowl in addition to regular water. It can also be offered separately or on the animal’s food. About ½ to 2 oz. a day is appropriate depending on the animal’s weight and condition. A pilot study in dogs is currently underway.
Can I take PAZ with my medications?
You should take ProAlgaZyme® on an empty stomach and not at the same time you take your medications. However, continue to take your medications as prescribed, and talk with your doctor before beginning any new health regimen.
