Dr. Thomas O’Bryan is an internationally recognized speaker and workshop leader specializing in Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease. He is a ‘Sherlock Holmes’ for chronic disease and metabolic disorders. He is a clinician par excellence in treating chronic disease and metabolic disorders from a Functional Medicine Perspective. He holds teaching Faculty positions with the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Life Sciences. Dr. O’Bryan is always one of the most respected, highly-appreciated speakers. Dr. O’Bryan’s passion is in teaching the many manifestations of Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease as they occur inside and outside of the intestines.

In sensitive individuals, Gluten Sensitivity can trigger Auto-Immune Disorders, Epilepsy, Thyroid Disease, Diabetes, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and more. Perhaps one of the more surprising messages is the impact of Gluten Sensitivity on the brain. The “dimmer switch”, that occurs in the brain (especially in children), is one that parents and care givers would never suspect.

“Avoid Stress”. You’ve heard that before. So what are you supposed to do? Avoid your wife or husband, better yet the kids. How about avoiding those bill collectors and your boss, or the insane manager, who just doesn’t get it. Maybe the manager is you. Maybe you can’t meet payroll and you’re about to get fired, and the list goes on and on…divorce, death, disability, termination, and those crazy, unexpected life events. And don’t forget The Economy. Everything, that is out of your control. Or is it?

This is such an important topic since everyone is “Stressed Out” in some form or fashion, and the health effects are taking a large toll on the body, mind and spirit, in individuals and in families.

What is real solution for this “all time” pan-epidemic problem of the 21st century? And, why does it matter? Or does it?

“Avoid Stress”. Sure, you’ve heard that before. So, what are you supposed to do, avoid your wife or husband, better yet, the kids. How about avoiding those bill collectors and your boss, or the insane manager, who just doesn’t get it? Maybe the manager is you.

Maybe you can’t meet payroll and you’re about to get fired, and the list goes on and on…divorce, death, disability, termination, and those crazy.. Unexpected life events. Hey, let’s not forget “The Economy”, and everything else that is out of your control. Or is it?

What is real solution for this “all time pan-epidemic ” problem of the 21st century. And, why does it even matter?

As an anti-aging physician, I see lots of patients who are just stressed out, can’t sleep, moody and irritable, and sometimes, just plain, mean. Stress related problems are one of the five reasons why I see adult patients. Chronic, and unrelieved stress has been shown to “shrink the brain”, according to researchers reported in the journal, Biological Psychiatry, and it also increases free radical generation in many tissues of the body, especially the brain. Seems like protecting the brain is must for anti-aging.

Good nutritionals for stress might include 5 HTP (helps increase serotonin), St. John’s Wort, SAMe, saffron, etc., etc. The list goes on and on.

In short, I love it when I find the right nutritional that answers specific needs, since I have been taking supplements to retard my own aging for the past thirty years. Well, this new addition to my supplement family is just what the doctor (Me) ordered. There may not be a literal “fountain of youth”, but I will continue to look for it and use the best remedies that I can find. That’s why I think Laminine deserves more attention, now and not later.

Enjoy the comments from my noted colleague, Dr. Norman Shealy….

Norman Shealy is one of the world’s leading experts in pain management. He was among the first physicians ever to specialize in the resolution of chronic pain. A pioneer in developing safe and effective treatments such as Biogenics, he founded, in 1971, the first comprehensive pain and stress management facility in the country, The Shealy Institute, respected world-wide for its innovative and successful rehabilitation approaches. Over the years, Dr. Shealy’s intensive pain and stress management research has resulted in numerous pioneering treatments. His published works total over 275. His seminars and workshops are given worldwide, and attended by physicians and lay persons alike. He has acted as consultant to leaders in every specialty, including the personal physicians of President’s Kennedy and Eisenhower.

Here is a guest post from C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D

Sometimes the Universe wants to get your attention. Such has been my experience with Laminine. Knowing my interest in safe life enhancing products, a friend recently sent me 3 packages of it. I took it and, of course, being healthy, I did not notice much. Just as I was finishing that batch another trusted friend brought me another bottle. HMMM. That day I also got an email from another friend pushing the same product. When the iron strikes three times that close together, it is worth serious consideration. So, I reread the original literature I had been sent, continued taking it, and decided that perhaps I could cut out some of the two handfuls of supplements I take every day! I certainly have not missed them and I may cut even more.

Here are just a few of the reported effects:

Increases serotonin—the key to a happy mood. Reduces physical and emotional stress! Makes you more alert

Stimulates DHEA production—considering that 90% of people over 40 are dragging in this critical hormone, a great benefit!

Increases strength of body, mind and emotions. Improves endurance and energy

Helps enhance sleep

Enhances libido —hmmm

Decreases cortisol, the major stress hormone!

Improves skin tone

Reduces pain

Has been reported to help ADHD and Parkinsonism

To me this product seems to be one worth considering. Interestingly a Google search turned up “Laminine Scam” and it turns out that a skeptical person tried it and decided it is “powerful!” I have actually seen no negative reports. Personally, I am saving the cost of Laminine in the various herbs I discontinued.

Thank you Dr. Shealy.

We went well beyond heart disease to discuss all of the other benefits from this awesome nutritional supplement, Nitric Oxide. It’s not Vitamin A, D, C or E. It’s NO. Nitric Oxide.

Dr. Nathan Bryan, PhD, scientist and researcher, at the University of Texas Medical Center in Houston, gave specific and scientific details about the features and health benefits of Nitric Oxide. No… It’s not Laughing gas or the components of car exhaust. N.O is something that is made in the human body, and it’s vital to cellular function and longevity, especially as we age. Hey… 40 is aging. As a matter of fact… aging and decline starts at thirty. Therefore, use NEO40.

So, why do you NEED it? Find out. Listen to the replay, again, get the book, and get NO (Neo40) into your health and lifestyle regimen, so you can “die young at an old age”.

If you were not able to join us live, here’s a link to listen to the replay:

Qi Gong can be divided into the purpose it’s meant to serve, whether that’s creating health, healing others, spiritual development or martial arts. And it’s not associated with any specific spiritual viewpoint, since it’s practiced in the Orient by Taoists, Buddhists, Christians and others.
