Dear Sirs;
I have been recommending BIOFILAM to many of my patients with chronic serious conditions, and as a follow-up treatment after radiation. We are all pleased with their improved health. Thank you for bringing this product to us!
Sincerely, Jacqueline Carson, N.D. Ojai, California
There is interesting potential application of BIOFILAM as one of the best sources of fucoidan is for inflammatory conditions of the alimentary tract.
The inflammation process involves elevated synthesis of the proinflammotory mediators like adhesion molecules, white cell infiltration of gastrointestinal mucosa and altered mucosal integrity. Therapeutic use of heparin has produced clinical remission in the majority of patients with inflammatory bowel disorder. One of the mechanisms involved is restoration of the fibroblast growth factor activity that stimulates repair of the epithelium. Since fucoidan shares many properties with heparin including cell surfact activity one can expect similar therapeutic benefit with use of fucoidan.
Another mechanism of the beneficial effect of heparin, heparin sulphate and potentially fucoidan is their mucosal – protective properties as glycosaminoglycans. Gastrointestinal inflammation may cause alteration in the protective mucosal layer of glycosalminoglycans and may cause substances like heparin and fucoidan to become “conditionally essential” nutrients suitable for oral administration because they can be absorbed across the GI mucosa.

I have used BIOFILAM extensively over the last year (1998/1999) for numerous reasons. I am fully aware of the naturopathic effects and biochemistry of this product and, therefore, I have found it to be a great adjunct and treatment choice for many of my patients.
Since I have done most of my work in arthritis, collagen research and functional nutritional biochemistry, immunity and chelation therapy, I have applied and used this product for those reasons. The response was very good, gratifying and in some cases, rather significant.
Some of my patients have reported excellent results in conjunction with oral chelation therapy, e.g. detoxification re: mercury, cadmium, lead, etc.
Personally, I have experienced the same effects over the last 6-8 months. Certainly, I am planning to continue on a daily basis with taking BIOFILAM. It is needless to say that BIOFILAM would affect and lower cholesterol (LDL), regulate blood sugar and exert different anti-viral and anti-cancer effects. It is one of the best, most pure vitamin supplements and there is a good use for hypothyroidism due to iodine content. Also, it is a well known fact that cholesterol metabolism is closely connected with algorithm of collagen cartilage breakdown – e.g. osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
I am sure that an ongoing use of this product would bring up more of the results in many areas and disciplines of patient’s care (generally and specifically). I can fully recommend this product.
Sincerely Yours, V. Shurlan, M.D.
As a dietary supplement, BIOFILAM is a uniquely balanced complex of biologically active agents found in the brown seaweed Laminaria Japonica, containing up to 90% of polysaccharides (salts of alginic acid, seaweed cellulose, Fucoidan), which may be regarded as food fibers. Besides, it contains mineral substances (in form of inorganic salts and organic compounds) and Vitamins (particularly, up to 10% of recommended daily ration of Vitamin A). BIOFILAM was earlier proved to be an effective remedy to bind and remove radioactive iodine, strontium and cesium from the body.
A group of patients,13 men, with clinical forms of atherosclerosis (myocardial ischemia, arterial hypertension) was chosen with the purpose to study Biofilams therapeutic properties in cholesterol exchange process and atherosclerosis prevention. Research studies were performed during 3 months in the Cardiological Department of the Municipal Clinic.
Evaluation of therapeutic effect was done by analyzing the level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, beta-lipoproteids (using COBAS biochemical analyzer) in the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the course of treatment. None of the patients showed any signs of negative side effects throughout the course of testing, nor any liver or kidney malfunctions were detected.
BIOFILAM proved to be very effective for patients with uncomplicated, controllable, insulin-dependent (Type I) and insulin-independent (Type II) sugar diabetes with initial stage of hypercholesteremia: total cholesterol level in the patients’ blood went down from 5.7 – 10.6 MMole/l (on average 7.7 MMole/l – before treatment) to 3.13 – 6.89 MMole/l (on average 5.68 MMole/l – after treatment), making 26.5% decrease. The level of beta-lipoproteids decreased from 75 – 115 to 55 – 90 un (on average) and was comparable with data in 85% of studies with patients with no diabetes (decrease in average values from 2.34 to 1.59 MMole/l).
Decrease in dyspeptic disorders, among other positive effects of BIOFILAM, is worth mentioning too. Product tolerance was registered as satisfactory. We have concluded, that taking BIOFILAM has a sound therapeutic effect as a preventive and medicinal remedy for people suffering atherosclerosis and other forms of hyperlipoidemia.

Help your body maintain its equilibrium naturally with Padma Basic®
As more and more people turn away from pharmaceutical drugs and prescriptions due to complications and side effects, they are returning to basic herbal formulas, like Padma.
A post acts like a blog and will show up on the home page and eventually get replaced by newer posts.
When I suggest a change in eating plans, clients are sometimes hesitant. After all, they’ve been…in all likliehood…eating them same foods and drinking the same beverages they grew up with and it’s comfortable and familiar…so why change?
What does food…or nutrition…have to do with how you feel? What you eat and consume, in any fashion, potentially becomes a part of your body’s cellular structure. Your body will make cells from what you feed it. So your food and nutrition needs to be of the type that the body can use to create itself, again and again.
Are you suffering from a lack of energy? Do you find yourself feeling “not normal”? If you’ve been to doctors and aren’t really getting any better…especially after taking prescription medicine, then you may want to consider an all natural approach to your wellness. Continue reading

Celtic Sea Salt
Helps your body lower sodium risk and increase its mineral intake
Find out why health-conscious shoppers and gourmet chefs prefer this sea salt
Once you try Celtic Sea Salt®, you’ll throw away your bleached, grocery-store variety table salt. Even though it’s more expensive, it’s worth it, because:
•It’s chemical-free and bleach-free
•It contains no pouring agents that deplete its nutrients
•It’s hand-harvested and solar dried so you never get any chemicals or bleach in your salt
•It’s all-natural and loaded with mineral-rich trace elements that are essential to good health
•Those trace minerals satisfy your body’s cravings and reduce over-eating
•It’s lower in sodium than table salt yet higher in salt flavor so you can use less and stay healthy
•It’s tested by independent laboratories so you can be sure you’re getting exactly what’s on the label…clean, pure salt
Why should I care about what kind of salt I buy?
If you ever heard someone say, “well, let’s see if you’re worth your salt!”, you were listening to an ancient saying that came from a time when people were actually paid in salt. Salt was used as money.
Why?
Because historically, salt was extremely important to everyone’s diet. it was an accepted fact. Salt contains a combination of essential trace minerals not found anywhere else. It balances many body functions with precision.
Did you know this little known ‘salt’ fact?
The word salary goes back to the Latin word that originally denoted a ‘allowance given to a Roman soldier for buying salt’ or a ‘salt allowance’.
This was ‘Salarium,’ a derivative of sal, ‘salt.’ Salt being in former times a valued commodity over which wars were fought, rather that taken for granted as it is today. It soon broadened out to mean ‘fixed periodic payment for work done,’ and passed in this sense via Anglo-Norman salarie into English.

Today, for the most part, we use processed salt. Those precious minerals and trace elements are now stripped out in a processing plant.
Salt processors and advertisers have convinced us that we should be more concerned with the white bleached look of the product and lower costs rather than in its actual nutritional content.
Why choose Celtic Sea Salt®?
•It’s a whole food, presented as it is in nature
•It contains a variety of balanced nutrients
•It’s harvested by hand using a centuries’ old Celtic tradition of evaporation to leave its minerals in tact but supported by modern quality control standards
•It tastes better than conventional table salt and doesn’t leave your body craving essential minerals
•NO more searching for salty snacks loaded with table salt that don’t fulfill your body’s needs
•You can use more without any health worries or without losing flavor
•You will get essential nutrients that support your body better
•Gourmet chefs use this salt for its fine quality and incomparable taste
•In 1991, The French Ministry of Forests and Agriculture gave its most honorable “Superior Quality Food” mention to Celtic Sea Salt®
Why does the harvesting method makes a difference?
Gathered and harvested near the coast of Northwestern France where the ocean water is rich in a variety of minerals makes Celtic Sea Salt® superior to other salts.
The salt is channeled into clay ponds where the sun and wind evaporate the water leaving a rich mineral brine. A salt farmer uses wooden tools to speed its drying and helps the salt crystals form before packaging takes place.
By contrast the everyday table salt we usually see and use is washed and boiled. It is then mixed with iodine, bleaching agents, and anti-caking agents to create a purely white, free-flowing product. Even many sea salts you see in health food stores have been boiled and washed, which ends up removing minerals and trace elements.
Why else is Celtic Sea Salt® different?
Each and every year, this salt is:
•Analyzed by an independent research laboratory to assure its valuable nutrtional content.
•Shown to be safe to eat.
•Proven to have a lower in sodium and chloride level than traditional table salts, so it’s healthier.
•Demonstrated to contain a mineral and trace element content is much higher than table salt to provide you body with essential nutrients.
February 1996 Dr. West says:
“Today, health claims are getting wilder and wilder. None of these claims changes the most fundamental truth about good health–namely, that lifestyle changes with the right kinds of nutritional supplements, attention to your environment, exercise, examination of your body’s structure (i.e. spine, neck, pelvis), pure water, the right kind of salt (we use only Celtic Sea Salt®), and a positive mental attitude are the things that make up good health.”
From Health Alert by Dr. Bruce West
