KB Glutanac & Rosehips, your best option
06202010

Ever wondered why your glutathione supplement has been taking too long to work or came short of delivering your desired result? Chances are that your glutathione supplement hardly worked at all or will never give you the result that you want. To put it more simply, you are spending your hard-earned money for a product that doesn¡¯t exactly work like you always thought it would.

While the promise of having a fairer skin, delaying ageing etc, that comes with elevated glutathione levels in the body still holds true, taking oral glutathione supplements is NOT an effective way to achieve that goal. This is because glutathione is highly vulnerable to stomach enzymes. Like other tripeptides, glutathione is easily destroyed and goes to waste once it gets to the stomach. To elevate glutathione levels via oral supplementation, there is a much more effective way to do it.

Kyusoku Bihaku or KB was formulated to specifically address this problem. The special blend has all the strengths of glutathione but none of its weaknesses. KB has all the amino acid components of glutathione in free form for a much faster rate of absorption. This ensures that most of it will actually be absorbed by the body.

To further boost the efficacy of KB, n-acetylcysteine (NAC) and cystine is added to the blend. NAC is known to be the best glutathione precursor or booster available today, even better than glutathione itself while cystine is another excellent glutathione booster.

Each pack of KB GlutaNAC comes with Rosehips Vitamin C. Ascorbic acid apart from its more popular health benefits is also proven to aid in amino acid synthesis.

More and more glutathione users have been switching to KB over the past few years since the product hit the market a few years back. As a matter of fact KB is one of the top glutathione boosting products in the market today. This is a testament to KB¡¯s effectiveness in comparison to other watered-down glutathione products in the market today.

If there ever was a question what is the best glutathione product available today, then KB GlutaNAC will certainly make a very strong candidate.

Discover Why 90% of Women On Thyroid Replacement Hormones Are GUARANTEED to Continue Suffering With Low Thyroid Symptoms, and What You Can Do To Finally End Your Suffering Once and For All!

Dear Thyroid Sufferer,

Do you continue to suffer with low thyroid symptoms even after taking replacement hormones for months or years? Do you continue to suffer with these symptoms:

* Tired, Sluggish
* Can't lose weight even with exercise
* Feel cold in hands, feet, or all over
* Require excessive amounts of sleep to function properly
* Increase in weight gain even with low-calorie diet
* Gain weight easily
* Difficult, infrequent bowel movements
* Depression, lack of motivation
* Morning headaches that wear off as the day progresses
* Outer third of the eyebrow thins
* Thinning of the hair on scalp, face or genitals or excessive falling hair
* Dryness of skin and/or scalp
* Mental sluggishness
* Nervous and emotional
* Insomnia
* Night sweats
* Infertility
* Hypoglycemia / Low Blood Sugar
* Constipation
* Problems with Balance and Coordination

Are you tired of feeling this way? Are you tired of hearing that there is nothing else that can be done? Or, worse than all of these, are you tired of hearing..."your thyroid levels are normal now, your remaining symptoms can't be from your thyroid?"

I am sure the biggest frustration is getting rushed in and out of your doctor's visits...each visit, walking out with a new prescription and NO ANSWERS. Your thyroid dose goes up...but you probably continue to suffer with some or all of the effects of low thyroid. Why?

If you said yes to any of these questions then you are not alone. In the United States 4 out of every 1000 women suffer with hypothyroidism. Just like you, most of these people continue to suffer, even after they receive the standard thyroid replacement hormone treatment.

Thyroid disorders are a lifetime battle for most, a very frustrating battle. After you read this report you are going to see that it does not have to be a battle. What I am about to reveal here has the potential to change your life...forever. The replacement model never had a chance to make you feel better. It is based on a totally false premise that you can make up the lost thyroid function by replacing the deficiency of hormones with external hormones like Synthroid or Armour. This replacement approach, MAY work for about 10% of hypothyroid sufferer's, but I am going to explain why it WILL fail with the other 90%.

Treating Hashimoto's Autoimmune Hypothyroidism with replacement as the sole treatment is like treating the common cold virus with antibiotics. Antibiotics never were or never could be effective against the cold virus because antibiotics don't kill viruses, yet it is still commonly used.

In this life-changing report (and I truly mean it, reading this report will be life changing for you), I am going to share some things with you that you probably have never heard about. You may even be a little angry and frustrated for a short while, because you are going to wonder why you had to suffer for so long before learning this.

I share in your frustration. I see patients everyday, from all over the country, who have been through exactly what you have been through. After reading this entire report your are going to feel a huge weight lifted off of you, because what I am going to teach you has the potential to change your life forever.

Don't believe me? Keep reading and see for yourself. This is an important message for you, I am passionate about this subject, and I want to help change lives for the better.

By reading this entire report you are going to learn:

1. Why 90% of hypothyroid patients will never get lasting results from hormone replacement alone.
2. Why your thyroid replacement dose continually goes up, yet you continue to suffer with all of the same symptoms.
3. Why the common argument between natural vs. synthetic hormone replacement is completely irrelevant for 90% of hypothyroid sufferer's. They are fighting the wrong battle.
4. That 90% of low thyroid cases have an Autoimmune Hashimoto's mechanism, which means the bodies very own immune system has began to attack and destroy the thyroid gland.
5. The reason why Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroid Sufferer's will continue to feel crummy...even after their labs are "balanced" with thyroid replacement, natural or synthetic.
6. Why the only effective treatment protocol will be focused on immune system modulation.
7. You'll also learn why patients from all over the country fly in to be evaluated and treated at the Boydston Institute.

My name is Dr. Robert Boydston. My journey into healthcare began because I had a desire to help sick people, but I didn't want to just give drugs to them. I wanted to understand what was really going on with a sick person's physiology, and work WITH the body to restore function. My first stop was to Chiropractic School where I graduated Valedictorian from Life Chiropractic College West, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

My first passion was chiropractic neurology. Chiropractic neurology is a specialized approach to looking at the brain and nervous system, functionally. Science has shown us in the last twenty years that the brain can change, re-mold, and create new connections, based on the stimulation you give it. It has been proven, over and over again, that it is possible to systematically diagnose specific areas of the brain that are weak, and change those weak areas through non-invasive rehabilitation.

I began my work by exclusively treating chronically ill patients with chronic pain and fatigue. By using our Brain-Based approach, we were helping people turn around their lives, giving them a chance to live well again, after countless doctors and specialists had given up.

It didn't take me long to realize, and you may have come to this conclusion because of your own circumstance, that when a person has a health condition that is not considered life threatening, and there is no easy fix, our medical system is completely inadequate. I would see the desperation on the faces and in the eyes of the patients I treated. They were yearning to have someone listen to them, to spend the time necessary to get to the bottom of their problem, and most importantly, to help them break the chains their illness had put on their lives.

I understood them, and I knew I had to engineer my practice to allow me to function as the doctor I needed to be for them. I couldn't rush people in and out in 10 minutes like commonly happens in the insurance medical model. I couldn't squabble with insurance companies, trying to get them to pay for testing that they considered unnecessary, because we were stepping outside of the box. I not only stepped outside the box, I LEAPED out of it. Inside that box was a system that never could help the people in the way they needed to be helped.

Although I got great results with our brain based approach, I realized something was missing. I would get amazing results with most, yet with others I couldn't make the changes I needed. The most confusing part was the patients that did not have good results, seemed to have the same characteristics and test findings as the ones that were successful. There had to be something missing.

This led me on a journey to find what I was missing. Shortly thereafter, I made an important personal discovery. I realized I was trying to do what most other doctors do. I was looking at the human body as if it was compartmentalized. I was focused on brain and nervous system function, without looking at the hormone system, immune system, and gastrointestinal function. I knew I would have to understand and look at all these systems, at the same time, if I wanted greater and more consistent results.

So for a huge period of time, I hibernated at night and on the weekends. I poured through scientific journals, text books, and articles. I traveled across the country to learn from the best teachers I could find. I burned the midnight oil so to speak.

It was this intense study of physiology, neurology, and immunology that led to my greatest discovery...everything in the body effects everything else. In order to properly treat and manage any chronically sick or ill patient you must look at EVERYTHING, all at once.

I began actually looking at and measuring everything. I began running the necessary laboratory tests needed to take this big picture approach. As I started doing this on more and more patients, I found that most of the patients we had previously had the least success with had thyroid problems. The the number one cause of those thyroid problems was an autoimmune mechanism.

Since it was an autoimmune mechanism, meaning the bodies immune system has gone haywire and began attacking the thyroid gland, we knew we had to focus on calming the immune system if we were to stand a chance at helping these patients. So we took everything we knew about neurology, functional endocrinology, functional blood chemistry analysis, science based nutrition, and functional immunology and began making huge changes in their lives.

The immune system, and all the things that effect the immune system (remember everything, effects everything else), was a huge missing factor for our previously failed cases. For most thyroid sufferer's today, the immune system will NEVER be looked at, "dissected", and measured. In fact those doctors that like to confine themselves to that tiny box we spoke of, they won't even acknowledge that anything can be done. Listening to that advice will only sentence you to a lifetime of suffering.

As you continue reading this report you are going to discover the secrets and clinical pearls we have found to help Hashimoto's Autoimmune Hypothyroid patients, naturally, without side effects or completely suppressing the immune system, and why we think our all-natural approach to treating autoimmune thyroid is the BEST approach available.

Let me explain why thyroid replacement hormones are completely ineffective for 90% of woman taking them.

Worldwide the number one cause of low thyroid function is iodine deficiency, but it is NOT the number one cause in the United States. In the United States, the number one cause of low thyroid is Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroid. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune attack against thyroid cells, meaning your body's immune system is targeting and killing your own thyroid tissue.

Although Hashimoto's can cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism, in most cases there is a slow gradual attack against the thyroid. This eventually leads to the loss of enough thyroid cells and function that it presents as primary hypothyroidism. When the thyroid does not work adequately, in this case because the cells are being destroyed, the pituitary gland (in your brain), increases the production of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) as an attempt to increase thyroid gland activity.

Over time people with Autoimmune Thyroid's start to develop the symptoms of low thyroid function which will prompt them to have their thyroid checked by their medical doctor. When the TSH is measured it will usually be found to be increased, representing low thyroid function, and they are typically diagnosed as having primary hypothyroidism. They are then placed on thyroid replacement hormone, for the rest of their life.

Yet the question is never really asked, "why did they become hypothyroid?"

The issue of the autoimmune attack is not addressed. Instead, they are considered to be managed and treated properly when the TSH normalizes with the replacement hormones. In a sense the patient is having their TSH managed, but not the underlying mechanism for their thyroid loss (their autoimmune attack).

In the replacement model when the TSH is "normalized" from taking the thyroid replacement, any symptoms that remain, after the normalization of the TSH, are attributed to something else. For example if your thyroid condition is causing depression, which it commonly does, then the doctor will give you antidepressants. Why? Because if the thyroid levels are now in the "normal" range, how can the depression symptoms be coming from the thyroid?

On the surface it seems logical but I'll show you why the symptoms are still coming from poor thyroid function.

If you haven't had this experience yet, you probably will. You will go into your doctors office because you STILL suffer with the same symptoms, and in an attempt to move you out of the office in the allotted 10 minutes the doctor has given for your visit, he or she is going to shove an anti-depressant prescription at you, and tell you that if will help some of the symptoms.

Do you suffer from depression? Maybe...as a result of the thyroid problem that is not being managed properly, or maybe your depressed because you have a chronic problem that no one is taking seriously and just wanting to shove pills at you so you will go away. Either way, an anti-depressant isn't the FIX.

In most cases, since the actual autoimmune response is ignored, over time you will continue to lose more thyroid cells, and the requirements for your thyroid replacement hormone continue to rise. Even more importantly, despite the fact that "TSH is considered managed" with replacement thyroid hormones, Autoimmune Thyroid patients will continue to have all the symptoms of low thyroid function.

So in a nutshell, you are guaranteed to fail with replacement hormones, because 90% of the time the primary mechanism is an autoimmune attack against the thyroid gland, and the replacement hormone does nothing to stop, slow down, or modulate this immune attack.

Since the autoimmune mechanism is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States, you would think that it is commonly screened for. In reality, rarely is it ever checked. This is mostly because the treatment would still be thyroid replacement hormones. Why run extra tests if you are not going to alter the treatment based off the test results? This is considered "waste" in the HMO insurance model, that has become so prevalent in this country.

What About "Natural Thyroid Support?"

You may have been to an alternative health doctor or nutritionist looking for some relief from your thyroid symptoms. They may have given you some supplements that contained iodine, B Vitamins, and thyroid glandular's to try to improve thyroid function.

There is a big problem with this approach. Clinically, when a patient presents with an autoimmune thyroid pattern, nutritional support specific for the gland, thyroid glandular therapy, or hormone replacement does very little to improve the individual's response and physiology. Remember it is an immune battle. At the Boydston Institute we recognize this crucial factor, which is why we have been so successful with autoimmune thyroid cases. If we win the immune battle, YOU can feel normal again. If we fail to address the immune system...it's game over!

So What Can Be Done To Halt the Autoimmune Attack Against the Thyroid?

In Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroid, your ONLY chance at ever feeling normal again is to modulate the immune attack against the gland. Supporting the thyroid nutritionally or giving synthetic hormones completely ignores the underlying cause. Your body is literally "chewing up" your thyroid tissue and the longer you go without modulating and calming the immune attack, the more thyroid cells you lose.

Before I tell you about our unique approach to modulating the immune system, let's talk about the traditional treatment used in most autoimmune conditions. Whether a person is diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, or Multiple Sclerosis, the basic medical treatment is cortisone, other immune suppressing drugs, or thymectomy. In other words complete immune suppression. The approach is to suppress the immune system as an attempt to dampen the attack against the thyroid gland. Unfortunately, this model creates many side effects and is not clinically effective. To be totally honest this rarely is done in Hashimoto's. In Hashimoto's usually the immune treatment is..NO treatment at all. They just completely ignore the immune issue.

If you want to save yourself a laundry list of side effects from the immune suppressing drugs, and you want to avoid completely shutting down your immune system, you need an approach that is centered on specific immune evaluation. You need someone who is going to "dissect" you immune system with lab panels, and make changes based on the specifics of Your immune physiology.

Before we can begin to modulate the immune system, a very specific evaluation must be done. It is terribly dangerous to suppress your entire immune system. The immune system does more than just protect us from foreign invaders like bacteria, parasites, or viruses. It is involved with destroying our own cells to help us eliminate dead or senile (old) cells. This process is called cellular apoptosis and if this system fails, cancer develops.

Let's Talk A Little Bit About Your Immune System

The immune system has two sides like a teeter-totter. The first side, called our "T"-Helper 1 System (TH-1 System), is our immediate immune system. It is responsible for an immediate attack against foreign invaders like bacteria or parasites. The cells involved in the TH-1 system are called macrophages, natural killer cells, and cytotoxic T Cells. It is our front line defense.

The other side of our immune teeter-totter is our T-Helper 2 (TH-2) system. It involves the production of antibodies to "tag" onto invaders so our TH-1 system can more easily destroy the invaders. It is our B cells that are responsible for producing the antibodies.

Most of the time our TH-1 system will successfully destroy invaders, before antibodies are ever produced. If the invader is not destroyed by the TH-1 system immediately, the TH-2 antibody system gets involved and produces antibodies. These antibodies are like attaching strobe lights to the foreign invaders. It makes it extremely easy for the TH-1 cells to find and kill the foreign invaders. .

In order for the various immune cells of the TH-1 and TH-2 system to communicate and coordinate their function they produce little messenger proteins called cytokines. In an autoimmune condition, like Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroid, the two sides of the immune teeter-totter get terribly imbalanced. It is almost like there is a person on only one side, which if you've ever seen a teeter-totter, you know that this does not work. It is this dysregulation in the immune system, the imbalance between the two systems, that tricks your body into attacking its own tissue.

This "dominance" on one side of the immune system is also why the hormone replacement model doesn't work, even though lab markers may look normal for a time. (Remember I told you I would get to this)

The cytokines that are produced in the autoimmune attack actually block the thyroid receptor sites from producing normal responses. This means even if you have an adequate amount of thyroid hormone in the blood stream, the hormones cannot bind to your cells and create a normal metabolic response. Which means...you still have thyroid symptoms even with normal levels of hormones circulating in your blood stream.

Normally when a thyroid hormone binds to a cell it causes the cell to increase it's metabolism and this increases the production of certain proteins inside the cell. This is called a "proteomic response." In Hashimoto's the proteomic response is diminished by the inflammatory cytokines that are produced from the autoimmune attack. So even when the thyroid hormones bind to cell receptors their isn't a very strong proteomic response. This is exactly why the replacement model of thyroid treatment is such a failing model, especially in Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroid.

Most doctors don't understand this concept. They will try to make your lab panels look "normal" with replacement hormones and when you tell them you still have the same symptoms they are going to assume that you are depressed, or that it is "all in your head." Or if you are continually gaining weight, without ANY change in diet, they will assume you are just overeating...that you need to exercise.

I see this scenario every single day. It breaks my heart because I know these women and men have been suffering for years and have been relying on a treatment that was improper and never had a chance to help. That is why I have written this report. I don't want to see people suffer when there are alternatives that are very effective.

So How Did You Get An Autoimmune Thyroid? What Caused Your Body To Attack Your Own Thyroid?

All Autoimmune thyroid sufferers start with some sort of genetic susceptibility that predisposes them to the disorder. At some point the genes for the disease "turn on" and the destructive immune attack against thyroid tissue begins. Possible triggers that are known to "turn on" autoimmune attacks in general are:

1.

Environmental Compounds - things like heavy metals, pesticides, etc.
2.

Endocrine Imbalances
3.

Chemical Exposures
4.

Stress Responses
5.

Antigen Responses

Any number or combination of these factors combined with some genetic susceptibility can "turn on" the autoimmune response and lead to the slow gradual destruction of your thyroid cells by your own body. Most importantly we must understand that once these genes turn on we have no way of completely turning it off. Think of these genes as a light switch that when turned on, the light switch breaks. You can no longer turn the light switch off but we can modulate the immune system like a dimmer switch. With the right protocols we can essentially turn down the dimmer switch until the autoimmune attack is virtually imperceptible.

Because of our understanding of functional immunology and functional endocrinology we take a very detailed look at a Hashimoto's sufferer. We run very elaborate immune panels that actually tell us what is wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. We start with a comprehensive thyroid panel, including antibodies, to see exactly what the source of the thyroid problem is. There are over 30 different thyroid dysfunctional patterns, with Autoimmune as the most common mechanism we see.

We then run laboratory panels to look at blood sugar disorders, hormone regulation, anemia patterns, and adrenal dysfunction. All of these things play a crucial role in thyroid function and we leave no stone unturned in determining exactly the source of your thyroid problem.

When we are dealing with Autoimmune Thyroid we go even further in our assessment. We are going to run a cytokine panel to determine what side of your TH-1 and TH-2 teeter-totter is dominant. Next we are going to run a panel that is going to look at all of your lymphocytes (Your T Cells) called a Lymphocyte Subpopulation analysis. This is going to give us insight into the health of your immune system. There are numerous possibilities when we look at these two panels together, and we have strategies for every scenario we might see.

From the information we derive from the specialized immune panels we are going to devise an all natural treatment plan to support your specific immune dysfunction. We use all natural botanicals and plant extracts that have been shown in the peer reviewed medical literature to have very specific immune stimulating and modulating effects.

One of the biggest mistakes I see natural medicine doctors make is giving autoimmune patients broad spectrum immune support.

This may seem counterintuitive at first. If the immune system is unhealthy then providing things that are know to help boost the immune system should help right? Wrong. It is a totally different game with autoimmune situations. Ideally your TH-1 and TH-2 systems would be balanced, and work together. This is not the case in autoimmune attacks. The immune system is malfunctioning to the point that it thinks your own tissues are a foreign invaders.

It is absolutely critical that only botanicals and compounds that are known to have specific immune responses be used with an autoimmune case. With broad spectrum immune support you can actually further stimulate the dominant side of the immune system and make the autoimmune attack stronger. This results in greater tissue destruction. We take this very seriously which is why we MUST base our treatment off the details contained in each individuals immune panels.

Most alternative medicine based treatments are NOT based on lab testing. At best treatment in traditional natural medicine is based on old outdated testing models like checking basal metabolic temperature or even worse, solely based off history. Rarely is lab testing done.

In the traditional medical "box" the immune testing becomes irrelevant because it does not dictate or change treatment. In the medical model once it is determined that an autoimmune mechanism is involved, drugs to suppress the immune system are given, bringing with it a multitude of side effects. Long term immune suppression is only going to make you sicker.

So when we determine that it is an autoimmune mechanism that is producing your hypothyroid symptoms then we are going to run our specific immune panels. Those include:

1. Lymphocyte Subpopulation Analysis
2. Cytokine Panel

This is going to give us a clear picture of what the immune dysfunction is. We are going to apply specific nutritional strategies to calm down the immune attack against your thyroid. Our extensive understanding of functional immunology and review of the peer-reviewed literature involving natural plant botanicals and extracts, that have been shown to have specific effects on the immune system, give us the most highly effective strategies available to support your immune system. Most importantly we can do this without all of the side effects of immune suppressing drugs.

Along with turning down the dimmer on your autoimmune attack, long term success necessitates that we remove any triggers that are flaring up your immune response. Triggers that may be involved include:

1.

Food Sensitivities - we will run additional lab testing to determine if there are foods that you eat that are creating an immune response. Food that you are sensitive to flares your immune response every time you eat them, furthering your attack on the thyroid, leading to even greater cell loss.
2.

Iodine - even though iodine is a very important nutrient for thyroid function, and even though iodine deficiencies are very common across the country, iodine supplements can actually trigger a Hashimoto's response. Bottom line is that iodine is a very important supplement for many people but it is contraindicated in Hashimoto's because it triggers the immune attack.

There are numerous studies in the peer-reviewed literature that show this connection. We get all of our Hashimoto's patients off iodine supplements. Most natural healthcare practitioners with limited understanding of autoimmune physiology insist on giving iodine supplements for thyroid conditions in much the same way as the medical community uses thyroid replacement hormones as a "blanket" treatment for all hypo-thyroid conditions.
3.

Hormone Imbalances - this is especially true when looking at estrogens and pregnancy. In the third trimester of pregnancy a female is TH-2 dominant and postpartum they have a tendency to be TH-1 dominant. This fluctuation of hormones is enough to turn on the Hashimoto's response for some woman. It is very common to have a woman deliver their baby and then months later get diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Really it was Hashimoto's that "turned on" after pregnancy.

Birth control pills are another source for estrogen surges. It is a common scenario for women to go on birth control pills, gain a lot of weight, and get depressed. When they go off the pill it doesn't really help them lose weight or decrease their depression. Being on the pill in the first place may have triggered the Hashimoto's response against the thyroid.

The third issue with estrogens and Hashimoto's is perimenopause. As a women loses their feedback loop between the pituitary and ovaries, as a consequence of normal aging, there is surges of estrogens produced because the pituitary can no longer regulate the ovaries. These surges of estrogens can turn on the Hashimoto's response. When these estrogen surges occur it will actively cause thyroid cells to be destroyed. The estrogen surges act like gas on a fire and really increase the autoimmune destruction. This increased attack will release some of the thyroid hormone into the blood stream, creating a short term increase in thyroid hormone levels. This increases the metabolic rate and the woman gets hot flashes, insomnia, and irritability.

This is usually attributed to a deficiency of estrogens from going through menopause, but usually it is not the case. Sometimes it's not the estrogens that are causing the hot flashes, insomnia, and irritability, its the immune attack that was promoted by the estrogen fluctuations from the menopause process that creates a temporary hyperthyroid response.

Whenever we see a post-menopausal woman that developed hot flashes, insomnia, and irritability that didn't resolve with estrogen replacement we know we are dealing with a Hashimoto's response that turned on with menopause. In these cases we can totally normalize the hot flashes by treating the autoimmune thyroid.
4.

Insulin Surges - surges in insulin really promote the Autoimmune Attack on the thyroid. The insulin surge actually stimulates the immune cytokines responsible for your autoimmune attack. Insulin surges occur in diabetics, pre-diabetics, and hypoglycemic's. Many people get checked by the their medical doctor and are told that everything is OK. I am going to tell you right now that the sheer number of functional hypoglycemic's and insulin resistant (pre-diabetics) people walking around is staggering. Even if you were told your labs were "normal", the lab ranges they used are not functional, and there is a good change there is an underlying blood sugar problem.

I could write pages and pages on the harmful effects of altered blood sugar patterns. Suffice it to say we are going to test for this and look at functional markers that are going to let us know what is really going on. We MUST deal specifically with these things or else you will continue to promote attack against your thyroid and continue to suffer and feel lousy.
5.

Hypercortisolism - cortisol is your bodies stress hormone. It is produced when your bodies emery demands increase. When there is an active stress response or a defect in your brains ability to modulate stress then you will have increased cortisol production. The increased cortisol promotes insulin resistance, and therefore insulin surges. This will cause your immune attack to get worse. We look at this from a neurological brain control mechanism and a metabolic mechanism. We are going to diagnose and treat the brain areas responsible for controlling the stress response with Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation, and we are also going to nutritionally support you with botanicals that modulate your central nervous system response.

6.Gastrointestinal Infections (GI) - there are a number of GI infections that promote the autoimmune response. Your gut has a huge number of healthy bacteria that live and actually produce positive benefits for normal functioning. When the balance between good and bad bacteria is skewed, called dysbiosis, it is known to promote autoimmune inflammatory responses. We do lab testing to reveal the health of the GI system. If we ignore this our chance of fixing your the autoimmune thyroid condition is greatly compromised.

There is no cookie cutter approach to dealing with autoimmune thyroid. Until we look at all of the triggers that cause and promote the autoimmune attack and systematically remove those triggers, and then "dissect" your immune system with the lab panels we discussed, there really is no chance at ever normalizing thyroid function and giving you your life back. We deal with these problems every day, and we are very good at turning the "dimmer" down on your immune response so you can begin to feel like you used to.

Isn't That A Lot of Tests?

That probably sounds like a lot of tests, doesn't it? Well it is. And I know you may have already had a laundry list of tests, but I will guarantee you haven¡¯t had these. Even if you had been lucky enough to get some of these tests done, the doctor who ordered them didn¡¯t know how to interpret them, or what to do with the results. (No slam on your previous doctors. It¡¯s just the awful truth of the state of health care).

And it¡¯s worth pointing out that, in reality, NO other doctor is going to do what I¡¯m describing to you right now. They just simply won¡¯t do it. Why?

One reason is they just don¡¯t know that they need to. They¡¯re seriously behind the times, living in 1940s, 50s and 60s. They are using a model that is outdated and doesn¡¯t work for the majority of people. They¡¯re not current on the latest scientific research (not ¡°research¡± paid for by drug companies) and certainly don¡¯t know how to use natural supplements and nutrition.

The second reason is - they and the insurance companies don¡¯t consider this comprehensive approach and testing ¡°medically necessary.¡± Do you know what the definition of ¡°medically necessary¡° really is?

What¡¯s the minimum we can do and not get sued?

What a terrible joke! The system is broken and it¡¯s no wonder people suffering with immune imbalances and autoimmune conditions literally have NO chance in that system.

Because the tests we run are not considered medically necessary we have teamed up with 2000 doctors across the country to form a CO-OP. We buy lab tests as a group¡¦and since there are so many of us¡¦we get a great rate on these tests. We are going to get the absolute best rate so you can get the tests you need to diagnose your problem.

I commonly get asked¡¦Dr. Boydston my doctor has ran lab tests in the past and the insurance paid for them. I hate to tell you but they run the bare minimum or just run the completely wrong tests. In the past I persuaded some patient¡¯s medical doctors to run some of the tests and try to get the insurance to pay for them...and guess what? The insurance company said they were medically unnecessary and the patient ended up with a lab bill that was 5 times more than if we had ordered them directly from our office.

I no longer do that. We are going to determine what needs to be run and we are going to order it. We are going to work together to solve your thyroid problem¡¦or not. I like to get this in the open up front because it always tends to be a question. These tests are not covered by insurance but they are necessary if you want to EVER feel good again. I know you want to feel good again...or you wouldn't be sitting here ready this admittedly lengthy letter.

We get results because we are thorough and look for the right things. We don¡¯t cut corners to save costs. This is your health on the line.

Believe me, after you¡¯ve seen some truly desperate people suffering with thyroid problems-- AND you¡¯ve seen, with your own eyes, and heard them tell you how much better they are; how much happier they are now¡¦that they can go through a day without crying from the fatigue, constant weight gain, hair loss, depression and frustration?AND thank you for finally doing what needed to be done to find out how to help them¡¦well then you understand how ¡°medically necessary¡± this kind of approach really is. No matter what any insurance company, drug company, or out-of-touch doctor thinks to the contrary.

Now once we¡¯ve done all that, what the assessment tells us is what your immune system dysfunction is, what your immune dominance is, and what triggers and lifestyle factors are contributing to your problem. The we can design a powerful, all-natural, program to normalize your physiology.

We will most likely have many things we have to work on. We will systematically create a program that is going to change the abnormal physiological shifts we measured with our testing. Most times we have to normalize one dysfunction before we can effectively normalize the others.

Have you ever put together a piece of furniture, or a kids toy, without reading the instructions...because you thought you could figure it out on your own? Then you get to the very end, realized you missed a step, and have to go back and take everything apart, because you missed that one little piece? Fixing these functional immune, hormone, and metabolic imbalances have to be done in the proper sequence. We look at everything up front so we know what sequence we have to take with you.

How Am I Going To Know I Am Getting Better? Will This Even Work For Me?

We are going to know we are making the changes we are after, because we are going to be doing re-testing of the labs we used to determine our specific plan of action. This is absolutely necessary. We can't just spend time and effort finding out what is wrong and then just hope we made the changes. We have to measure, make alterations in treatment protocol, and measure again. Not that you won't be filling better as we make these changes, but we have to measure our change so we get to our goal.

Based off of your specific case we are going to have a schedule of our re-tests so we can make corrections, and know when we need to move on to the next thing. Sometimes we can't normalize or fix a particular problem until we normalize another thing first.

No other doctor is going to do this for you. Like I said most natural medicine is based off of NO testing, minimal testing, or the wrong testing. Mainstream medicine is going to shove hormones and antidepressants at your no matter what the labs say so there isn't a lot of testing done on that end either.

It usually takes time to make the functional changes we need. Remember our job is not to give you a pill and hope a symptom goes away. Our job is to take a step back, look at the big picture, and systematically support your physiology. The reason no one has helped you yet is because no one dug deeper, was willing to listen, understand your problem, and take the time necessary to make changes.

"What If This Doesn't Work For Me?"

If you are sitting here reading this, you know that your present approach to helping your thyroid problem is not helping adequately. Honestly I could teach my six year old son to give you the current treatment you are getting. "I'd tell him to look at the thyroid labs, and if the TSH is greater than "X" give synthroid. When the TSH drops down to "Y" and the patient still has symptoms, give the patient anti-depressants, because the remaining symptoms are in their head." Of course I am being sarcastic but that is exactly what I hear and see from patients every day.

You deserve better than this. You deserve to have a doctor who listens, who understands you, who is willing to do what it takes to help you, regardless of what some out of touch doctor or HMO thinks. Because it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks, what matters is that your still suffering and you need someone that is going to treat you right and help you.

The number one factor that determines success and failure with a case, is how closely the patient follows my recommendations. If you do the things I prescribe, then you are going to go down the road you have been wanting, probably for a long time, which is...feeling "normal" again.

You are reading this because you are one of the smart few who wants to take control of your health, and do what it takes to help your body. Nothing else matters when you health goes South. I love working with patients like you because you are willing to sit here and learn about your problem, and listen, and make the changes necessary to get your health back on track. To get back to the business of living good again.

What About Cost?

Our initial assessment is $197. As we discussed our unique approach steps out of the "medical box" so we can do what is necessary, and take the time necessary, to help YOU. Until we know the specifics of your case, what labs we need to run, and how long we anticipate it taking to make the changes we need, there is no way to say what the cost is going to be. There will have to be a financial investment on your part at some point. There is no cookie-cutter approach to treating Hashimoto's Disease or any autoimmune condition. You know this better than anyone. You have seen and experienced first hand what it's like to live with this condition, and not get the proper treatment.

There is always a way to make it work out financially. We have no-interest financing available through our office, and many different payment options. We can make it work. Your main concern should be on getting well and feeling good again. You have the rest of your life in this body, and you can be energetic, healthy, and enjoy it, or suffer with fatigue, depression, weight-gain, and hair loss. The smartest choice is to get to the root of the problem, not get passed through the medical system, getting treated like you don't know what you are talking about or feeling.

Ask yourself if you can afford not to get treated? If you are honest with yourself, the answer is you CAN'T. The hormone replacement is not addressing your immune problem. Immune suppressing drugs are going to create long term side effects, and greater problems in the long run. Natural support for the thyroid gland itself is futile for Autoimmune Hashimoto's Thyroid.

There is nothing else that is going to help this problem unless we do the things I just outlined for you. You can be one of the fortunate few who get the proper treatment and live well OR you can become another medical disaster. The choice is yours...but the correct option is staring right at you. It's here. I believe you know in your "gut" that this is what you need to do.

"I'm Ready To Get On Track, and Start Feeling Good Again, What Do I Do?"

At this point you should realize that your thyroid condition has not been managed properly and your current thyroid protocol is not going to get you where you want to go. You really should be asking how can I get this taken care of? How can I get the kind of treatment you describe?

We treat patients from all over the state of California and from all across the country. We have an international airport here in Fresno that will allow you to get here no matter where in the world you live. Our Central location in California gives you access by car, if you wish, from Northern and Southern California. Geography is no excuse to not get the treatment you desire and deserve. Your next step is to schedule your Complete Hypothyroid Consultation and Evaluation.

What Is Included In Our Complete Hypothyroid Consultation and Evaluation?

Your complete consultation and evaluation consists of:

1. A consultation with me, Dr. Boydston, to discuss your thyroid problems and answer all your questions.
2. A complete hypothyroid case history and questionnaire.
3. A complete hypothyroid dietary and nutrition evaluation.
4. A complete analysis of dietary habits.
5. In addition we are going to analyze your current supplements, herbs, natural medicines, botanicals, and homeopathic's to determine whether they are beneficial or actually detrimental to your condition.
6. We will also have you bring all of your medical records and lab tests and we are going to go over them with a fine tooth comb.
7. We are going to determine whether you have had the appropriate lab tests ordered, and make a decision of what further testing is required.
8. A written action plan to address your specific needs and get you feeling fabulous again...yes it is possible....and yes we expect it when we do the right things.

When you call and schedule your Complete Hypothyroid Consultation and Evaluation we will send you out our comprehensive case history and dietary & nutritional questionnaire. This will allow us to learn everything about your case and your history. We will also review all of your previous labs. We will have you fax or mail both the questionnaires and the previous labs prior to your scheduled evaluation, so we have adequate time to review your case prior to your appointment.

When you come in, you are not going to be rushed, pushed through our office, and be made to feel that your concerns are not important. Our goal is to find out what is wrong, look at all of the physiological mechanisms that are contributing to your problem, and devise a specific plan to help you feel like you know you should. After we go over your questionnaire, answer your concerns, and dig through mechanisms that may be contributing to your problem, we are going to decide on the laboratory tests that are going to help us get to the bottom of your problem.

We will then order the appropriate tests, and then follow up in approximately 2 weeks when we get the lab results we need. Armed with the proper information, we can devise a treatment plan consisting of specific dietary changes, lifestyle changes, and powerful supplements, that have been showed in the peer reviewed literature to have the effects we need for your specific problem.

If I Am Flying In From Out of State Isn't It Going To Be Hard To Treat Me?

After we have met face to face, did a thorough assessment, and decided on the specific lab tests that are going to allow us to get the bottom of your problem, we can follow up on your case with scheduled phone calls to: review labs, make adjustments to your treatment, and step through the treatment process. As we normalize one physiological shift or imbalance, we will begin working on the next.

In fact, many days I spend a majority of my time with patients out of the area, working together, and managing their cases via phone and email follow-up. I spend a lot of behind the scene's time reviewing labs and devising treatment protocols. So although we definitely need to meet together, face to face, for an initial assessment, we don't need you flying into our office on a frequent basis for follow up. We can be very efficient and get you the exact treatment you need.

Please email us for details and we will give you all the information of Dr. Boydston

EXPENSIVE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER


A consumers guide to glutathione supplementation

It is hard not to comment on some myths and lies that are being propagated by some glutathione distributors. We would have let it pass seeing the absurdity of some of those lies but then we feel compelled to let the consumers know a few simple truths to give them a semblance of protection from unscrupulous distributors who continue to mislead them into buying expensive but ineffective products.

Fact:

GLUTATHIONE, WHETHER REDUCED, OXIDIZED OR ANY OTHER FORM IS NOT EFFICIENTLY ABSORBED WHEN TAKEN ORALLY

Time and again we have been trying to impart this simple fact to the consumers. You only absorb less than half of what you take orally. A study even shows that a single massive oral 3000mg dose failed to raise the body's inherent weakness of glutathione is due to its unstable bonded, tri-peptide form which makes it susceptible to attack by stomach enzymes. Most of it is destroyed once it enters the stomach and only a few remaining gets absorbed by our system.

This is how they will mislead you:

They claim that their product is reduced and is much better absorbed. NOT TRUE. Regardless of its form, fact remains that it can't absorbed through oral administration. They will show you a study or an internet link that will say that the reduced form is ideal but they will not tell you that it is ideal through intravenous administration. Always check the whether it's ideal when taken ORALLY.

Tip: Go search for facts yourself. Even wikipedia.org has information on this.

Fact:

N-ACETYLCYSTEINE (NAC) IS FAR BETTER IN RAISING THE BODY'S LEVELS THAN GLUTATHIONE ITSELF.

Dr. Robert Atkins of the Atkin's be discussed apart from NAC and that NAC raises the body's level something that oral supplements of glutathione itself cannot do. This is due to the fact that NAC is considered to be the best glutathione precursor. The term "precursor" is applied to an inactive substance converted to an active one (such as an enzyme, vitamin, or hormone).

This is how they will mislead you.

Silly as it may sound, they will tell you that glutathione is better known as a skin whitener. Complete fact should be that one of the common benefits of ELEVATED GLUTATHIONE LEVELS IN THE BODY is that the skin will become fairer and look younger. Glutathione may be known to lighten the skin but taking it orally to lighten the skin is a whole different thing altogether. It simply just can't a great injustice to peddle around the idea of raising the body's levels as a mere skin whitening method. They will go to the extent of calling NAC cheap. Ok then by that argument, would you rather go for a much expensive but ineffective supplement or a more affordable and effective one? Besides, if it were really that cheap, why didn't brands have it in their product in the first place?

Tip: This fact can be easily confirmed by looking up glutathione supplementation on the internet.

Fact:

FREE FORM AMINO ACID COMPONENTS OF GLUTATHIONE IS A MUCH BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO BONDED GLUTATHIONE

Glutathione is a tri-peptide thiol consisting of three amino acids: l-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. The first fact shows that only a small amount of this is remains and gets to the small intestines. Once it gets there it is absorbed through the intestinal epithelial cells where it still needs to get broken down into the three free form amino acids before it gets distributed into the entire body. Free form amino acid components of glutathione is much easier absorbed by the body because it withstands the attack of stomach enzymes and passes easily through the intestinal epithelial cells straight into our system. Serious athletes know this and prefer free form aminos than thiols/polypeptides. The components glycine and glutamic acid are staples in the athletes amino acid supplement.

This is how they will mislead you:

Again they will call the 3 amino acid blend cheap. In that case would you choose a more expensive but ineffective blend? They might try and scare you into thinking that partaking free form amino acid is dangerous but nothing could be further from the truth. Tip: Nursing students just need to check their books on anatomy and physiology and open the part on digestive system, protein and amino acid transport (Essentials on Anatomy and Physiology). Also check out this study conducted by the University of Colorado comparing free-form and tri-peptide absorption.

http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/smallgut/absorb_aacids.html

THE KYUSOKU BIHAKU ADVANTAGE

The Kyusoku Bihaku blend takes all these to heart by giving consumers the best formulation available. KB has all three free-form amino acid components l-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. Apart from this, KB is formulated with NAC and Cystine, which is another good glutathione precursor. To further complement this one-of-a-kind blend, KB has included a separate bottle of Vitamin C Rosehips. Vitamin C is a great help in amino acid absorption because it aids in its synthesis.

KB is priced at Php1,500.00 at Mercury Drug stores and other outlets nationwide.



KB reveals glutathione activating formula
08022008


After months of keeping its exact glutathione supplement blend secret, Kyusoku Bihaku or KB finally reveals its formulation. Alex Mirador, company president, said that this move will hopefully avoid confusion in terminologies, testing method and controversies in the future. He said that although KB started out as a 30capsule bottle of 500mg/cap reduced glutathione, the company continuously reformulated to improve its blend to its present formulation to give the best products to its loyal consumers. "The reason for this constant improvement," he said, "is the fact that glutathione be it reduced or any other form, is very inefficient and wasteful when the supplement is taken orally. Less than half of it is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and the rest of it goes to waste." When glutathione reaches the stomach, Mirador explained that it is immediately attacked and most of it is destroyed by enzymes. The remaining glutathione that survives the onslaught is absorbed through the intestinal epithelial cells where it still needs to be broken down into its free form amino acid state before it gets distributed throughout the body. He added that studies show that even a massive single oral dose of 3,000mg of glutathione is not enough to raise the body's levels to a clinically beneficial extent. Reduced and oxidized glutathione is a tripeptide thiol consisting of the amino acids l-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. The three amino acids are bonded by protein. This bond makes glutathione unstable and thus ineffective for oral supplementation.

Latest research show that taking the free-form components of glutathione is far better than taking glutathione itself because it is bioavailable, withstands the attack of enzymes and is directly absorbed straight into our system. The KB formulation takes this latest study to heart. Each KB capsule has equal amounts unbonded glutathione components l-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. Apart from the glutathione components, KB also has N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in its blend. Experts agree that NAC, a glutathione precursor, is the best glutathione booster available today.

In his book Vita Nutrient Solutions, Dr. Robert Atkins of the Atkins Diet fame said, "Glutathione cannot be discussed apart from NAC. NAC raises the body's glutathione levels something that oral supplements of glutathione itself cannot do." "To cap all these innovations in oral glutathione supplementation, KB comes as a 2 bottle set with the bottle being Vitamin C Rosehips," Mirador said. "Vitamin C increases the effectiveness of amino acid supplements by aiding in its synthesis." Mirador opined that the KB formulation proves that the product has been well thought out, incorporating the latest developments in oral glutathione supplements and it is not just another run-of-the-mill copycat product. "KB should have been spared from the glutathione controversy last May," Mirador lamented. "Kyusoku Bihaku should have been tested using a different method because of its unique composition." He admitted that although their sales were affected by the issue, most of their clients remained loyal because majority of them are converts from other brands and have proven for themselves that KB is a better product. "Kyusoku Bihaku is arguably the best oral supplement out there and I am assuring our loyal clients that we will continue to improve or our formulation to deliver the best results to them," Mirador said in closing. Kyusoku Bihaku or KB is priced at Php1,500.00 per set and is available at all leading drugstores nationwide.

ADVISORY


We would like to inform everyone that the first Kyusoku Bihaku L-Glutathione (reduced) 500mg was introduced around 2005 through a different distributor with Yumei Mise Inc. After the contract with the distributor, ownership of the brand was turned over back to Yumei Mise.

In keeping up with the latest developments and trends in oral glutathione supplementation, Kyusoku Bihaku (KB) regularly updates its formulation in order to deliver the best results to its clients. In one of the reformulations, the company threw in another bottle of separate vitamin C at no added cost because of the ability of the vitamin to aid in amino acid synthesis.

The company's continued updates for better a formula is due to the inherent weakness of glutathione: whether reduced or any other form it can't be absorbed effectively through oral administration. Only less than 50% of the supplemental glutathione is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and the rest goes to waste. Some studies have even shown that a daily oral dose of 3,000mg showed no significant increase in a test subject's glutathione levels.

As always, KB's latest formulation is the company's way of dealing with this glaring weakness of oral glutathione supplements. Experts are in agreement that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a far better oral supplement for elevating the body's glutathione levels than any other--even glutathione itself. NAC was recently added into the KB blend.

A new study also shows better results when supplementing with components of glutathione in free form other than glutathione itself. Glutathione is a tripeptide thiol consisting of the amino acids l-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. Once the glutathione enters the stomach, digestive enzymes destroy a good part of it leaving a minimal amount to be absorbed in the small intestine. Once it gets there, the remaining glutathione is absorbed in the intestinal epithelial cells where it still needs to be broken down into amino acids before it gets distributed into the entire body.

Latest study reveals that free form amino acids is much better absorbed because it withstands the attack of the stomach enzymes and passes easily through the epithelial cells and directly into our system. The latest formulation of KB takes this new study to heart and came out with the equal amounts of the unbonded free form glutathione components l-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid.

MORE KB INFORMATION:

1. What is the difference between the latest KB formulation in the market and the OLD KB.

OLD KB - Formulation is L-Glutathione (reduced) 500mg
NEW KB - The composition is made up of 3 free-form (unbonded) amino acids Glutamic, Glycine and Cysteine with N-Acetyl Cysteine and a separate Kyusoku Bihaku Vitamin C Rosehips.

2. When was this new formulation of KB applied with the Bureau of Food and Drugs.

It was presented to the BFAD and was applied for NEW FORMULATION approval around February 2008. The CPR was released around APRIL 22, 2008, encoded around APRIL 28, 2008 and was received by our company around May 2008. However, we have made some recent corrections in the brand name and formulation both of which are being presented. At the same time we also applied for approval for our new packaging.

3. How many batches were released so far?

Two batches were released so far. The first batch was recalled by the Yumei Mise because there were misprints and errors in the packaging. And replaced with the second batch, is the ym05091. (which is our first batch in the market)

We would also like to inform the PUBLIC that due to the composition KB, the test that should be implemented is Gaschromatography oe EZ Assay Amino Kit Test (FYI: Reduced Glutathione for HPLC) The cost for this kind of comprehensive test ranges from 30,000 to 80,000 pesos.

Also, our product is NOT REDUCED GLUTATHIONE but a composition of unbonded FREE FORM AMINO ACID (Glutamic acid, Glycine and Cysteine) plus N-Acetyl L-Cysteine.

Most of the Glutathione that are in reduced form is indicated in their label.

THIS STATEMENT IS BEING PRESENTED BY YUMEI MISE INC. This move aimed at not only minimizing confusion in terminologies and testing sytem, but to avoid further controversies as well.

Oral glutathione made even better

The latest research have shown that glutathione is the most potent antioxidant currently known to man. Some have called it the miracle cure all owing to its unparalleled inhibiting effect on free radicals which makes it a powerful weapon to combat a wide range of degenerative diseases.

It has been shown not only to protect individual cells but also the tissues of the some of the major organs, including the skin against oxidant damage. This quality spurred the million-peso industry of oral glutathione in the country focusing on its ability to make the skin fairer and protect it from the ravages of ageing.

With the burgeoning industry all the more getting bigger and more profitable, so-called experts connected to the industry have been too reluctant to boldly state one unmistakable fact:

L-GLUTATHIONE (reduced in capsule form) IS POORLY ABSORBED ORALLY.

Glutathione is a tri-peptide thiol consisting of three amino acids, Cysteine, Glutamic acid and Glycine while the Glutathione (free form) replacement is also consist of those three amino acids in single bond. When taken orally, l-cysteine loses 85% of its sulfur group (which becomes the active component of glutathione) during the digestion process. This means that less than half of the supplemental glutathione is absorbed through the digestive system.

Without much explanation glutathione formulated with alpha lipoic acid (ALA) appeared on the market. ALA was supposed to be a glutathione booster. However, ALA is yet another another form of an unstable amino acid that it too, loses as much of its sulfur and sulfuhydryl components as the glutathione which leads to another unmistakable fact. Alpha-lipoic acid is practically useless as a glutathione booster.

NAC

(N-Acetyl L-Cysteine)

NAC is an acetylated form of the amino acid L-Cysteine. It is in itself a powerful antioxidant and has been used to treat cystic fibrosis and acetaminophen overdose.

Recent studies have consistently proven that NAC is the most powerful and most effective glutathione booster available today. NAC works by increasing the glutathione levels in the body.

What makes NAC standout among the so-called glutathione boosters is that it is a stable compound with an ability to retain most of its sulfur and sulfuhydryl contents losing only 15% during the process of digestion.

Some have even suggested that taking NAC is better than taking glutathione itself. However, this is only true in instances where an individual has depleted stores of glutathione in the body and needs supplementation to elevate it to healthy levels. NAC may boost the glutathione levels in the body, but it can only boost it to a certain extent which may still not be enough to maximize the true free radical inhibiting potential of glutathione.

KYUSOKU BIHAKU L- Glutathione 500mg with NAC and Pure Rosehips Vitamin C Kyusoku Bihaku L-Glutathione pack comes formulated with the optimum dose of NAC to make the most of oral glutathione supplementation. The NAC processed into each of the quality KB glutathione capsule not only boosts the glutathione levels in the body but it also makes up for the glutathione components lost during the digestion process.

More than just being the first to produce such a remarkable oral glutathione formulation, Kyusoku Bihaku also boasts of the fact that it is the only glutathione supplement in the country today made by its own manufacturing company. With factories located Korea and Japan, each KB capsule is produced under the strictest of standards and by experts regarded as the best amino acid manufacturers in the world. Unlike other glutathione products in the market today, KB glutathione with NAC was manufactured without compromising its quality just to be able to sell it at the prevailing market price.

Each KB pack also comes with Pure Rosehips Vitamin C to further complement the KB efficiency. Each Rosehips Vitamin C capsule is in its purely organic form which gives it a natural, timed release quality. Vitamin C is essential in helping both the glutathione and NAC retain more of its active components and at the same time flush out some of the glutathione and NAC which may be oxidized and become insoluble in the process.

KB is undoubtedly the only effective and relevant oral glutathione sold in the market today. Stop wasting your time and money on other glutathione supplements that will never deliver their promised results.

Kyusoku Bihaku 500mg Glutathione with NAC and Pure Rosehips Vitamin C is the only oral glutathione supplement you truly deserve. It is the next best thing and the most cost-effective alternative to IV glutathione.

With each KB pack, you will get all the results you want without any questions. Now you have been TRULY enlightened.

THE CONTROVERSY OF GLUTAWAR

We knew that is was only a matter of time before the L-GLUTATHIONE competition in the market reaches a fever pitch. We also had a sneaking suspicion that the competition might turn ugly ONCE THE OTHER BRANDS FEEL THREATENED and will do whatever it takes protect their interest.
It is truly saddening however, that even a well-respected and esteemed media institution can easily make itself available to irresponsibly disseminate unreliable and malicious information against competing brands all for the measly price of an ad placement.
WE KNEW THAT THIS IS THE PRICE WE PAY FOR BEING TRULY HONEST IN OUR CAMPAIGN.
Bad news for the news segment and ad ¡®sponsor¡¯ is that they might think that they have won the battle but they are gravely mistaken. Little do they know that what they did will prove to be their undoing because people will start asking, will seek for the truth themselves and once they find it, they will know which brands are taking them for a ride all along.
WE STARTED OUT ON A CAMPAIGN OF HONESTY AND BY IT SHALL WE CONTINUE ON.
Our company has been around since 1999 in the glutathione industry, practically starting the glutathione craze in the country, flying low as supplier and product provider. With all those years of experience behind us, we decided to develop the best glutathione formulation and market it at a very competitive price.
Our brand, KYUSOKU BIHAKU L-GLUTATHIONE plus NAC and VITAMIN C ROSEHIPS, or KB to longtime and satisfied users, has taken oral glutathione supplementation to a higher level.
In doing so however, we knew that we have also painted a big red target on our backs. We have anticipated that the other brands will play catch-up and will try to buy time by spending serious money on smear campaigns. This is until they come up with their own copycat and watered-down versions of our formulation but still of inferior quality and still replete with useless fillers.
THIS MAY BE A LETDOWN FOR THE ¡®SPONSOR¡¯ BUT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE START OF THIS SMEAR CAMPAIGN. WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG?

We have been waiting for this because we wanted to extend this ¡®sponsor¡¯ the honor of paving a wider avenue for us to tell the consumers why our product is way better than theirs. Thanks for making our job easier for us.
These are some of the facts that we have been honest about.
1. GLUTATHIONE, BE IT REDUCED OR FREE-FORM, IS NOT EFFICIENTLY ABSORBED WHEN IT IS TAKEN ORALLY. You only absorb less than half of the supplemental glutathione. This means that you are actually paying for something and getting less than half of the effectiveness. What is even more disappointing probably to the other brands is that some of the latest research shows that the reduced form of glutathione, while ideal via intravenous administration, is more easily destroyed in our gastrointestinal tracts and goes to waste. This means that users of this form of glutathione may be paying more for something that is even less effective.
2. KB IS PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE GLUTATHIONE. This means that KB is devoid of the usual fillers, like cornstarch for example, found in other brands. We decided to make KB that way owing to the fact previously mentioned because with fillers, you actually get lesser glutathione. When our pharmaceutical grade formula came about, one brand tried to strike out cornstarch from their labels immediately. They appeared to have done so in a hurry that their printer left out the comma preceding it. They may want to check that one out before printing their next batch of labels. Furthermore, they may have erased cornstarch from their labels, but it will still very likely remain within their capsules.
3. KB IS THE FIRST AND ONLY BFAD APPROVED BRAND THAT IS FORMULATED WITH NAC. NAC or N-Acetylcysteine is the best glutathione booster available today. Even the famous Dr. Robert Atkins in his book Vita Nutrient Solutions said that, ¡°NAC raises glutathione levels in the body, something that oral supplements of glutathione itself cannot do.¡± We added in NAC to our formulation to make up for the inherent limitations of oral glutathione. Apart from boosting the body¡¯s glutathione levels, the NAC in our brand also greatly helps in the absorption and retention of the supplemental glutathione.
KB as a set also comes with Vitamin C Rosehips for a very affordable price of Php 1,500.00 only. We have definitely innovated gave the consumers a quality product coupled with affordability. KB passed the tests conducted by the Department of Science and Technology and is duly registered with the Bureau of Food and Drugs. Our brand also recently passed the stringent test by the Office of Muslim Affairs and was declared Halal.
By coming out with the facts stated above, we have undoubtedly earned the ire of the other brands. Instead of tackling and disproving these facts however, they instead opted to play the game dirty. We can¡¯t blame them because the facts that we have presented are the truth and one can¡¯t exactly change it. They can only hope to twist it.
NOW, IN DIRECT ANSWER TO THE ¡®NEWS SEGMENT¡¯ THAT CAME OUT OF A SUPPOSED REPUTABLE NEWS ORGANIZATION, WE AGAIN PRESENT THIS FACT. The method that was used by this ¡®respected¡¯ testing institution is titration. Titremetry uses instruments that are also available in a junior scientist toy kit and is in other words unreliable. The particular usage of titration according to the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia is to define oils, fats, biodiesel and similar substances.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE IN THE RIGHT MIND TEST GLUTATHIONE USING A METHOD FOR TESTING FATS AND FOSSIL FUELS?
Any chemist will tell you that for testing amino acid content, the most ideal method would be to test it via High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or Gas Chromatography (GC). We can only make assumptions why the ¡®respected¡¯ institution never used this two much more reliable and ideal methods. True the news segment and ad ¡®sponsor¡¯ scored high in titration but what does that prove? That their brand contains high-end diesel perhaps? We just don¡¯t get it.
What is even more disappointing for us is the realization that even a respected news organization can easily be utilized for such malicious, damaging and irresponsible reporting. We urge the people to be more discerning of such news reports, documentaries, tv segments and the like because most of them are available for a price. Too bad, this ¡®sponsor¡¯ could have used their money in product improvement and give their consumers what they really deserve for the hard-earned money that they are spending for their product.
OUR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN FOR KYUSOKU BIHAKU WAS AND WILL REMAIN FOUNDED ON HONESTY.
Even our model is a certified user of our KB. We are not going to scare you into buying our product, try and dazzle you with star endorsers and we will definitely not spend millions to sponsor a tv news segment or documentary just to malign a competing brand.
WHAT WE ARE ENCOURAGING YOU TO DO IS TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELF AND FILTER OUT THE LIES THE OTHERS ARE TRYING SO HARD AND SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON FOR YOU TO BELIEVE.
Only then will you realize who is telling the truth and you will truly be enlightened
