A recent issue of the Journal of Immunology reports that vitamin D, which is primarily activated by the kidneys, is also converted to its active form in lung tissue. This conversion is essential for the beneficial activity of the vitamin in the body.
Researchers studying human lung tissue samples found that an enzyme called 1 alpha-hydroxylase helps convert vitamin D stored in the cells of the lungs into the active form of the vitamin.
The team also found that activated vitamin D increased the activity of a compound that destroys bacteria, as well as producing a protein that assists cells in their ability to fight infections.
The researchers noted that controlling inflammation through vitamin D is important because too much inflammation can cause problems related to sepsis (blood poisoning) and contribute to certain autoimmune diseases.

Produts that will change your life forever
Before my wife and I started with USANA, we had been looking for ways to improve our health. We tried many diets, supplements, colonic, and many other things that were always hard to follow, uncomfortable and they were only killing us instead of helping us. So we searched long and hard via friends, Internet, magazines for ways to accomplish our goal.
As an attorney, my job was making my body ill because I was internalizing every case that I had, and turned it into my problem. Imagine getting pay every day to deal with people's problem, and you are making them your own. So my body was feeling it. I developed high blood pressure, gastric problems, ulcers, bleeding, headaches, and too many others to mention.
My wife always wanted to help others,and help me. As a registered nurse, she had been trained to look for ways to help her patients. She would implement a nursing care plan, and implement it for the benefit of her patients. So she was determined to find a way to help me with my health problems. So the journey began.
I remember trying so many different pills because they were going to help me, so she said...But she was genuinely concerned about my health, so she kept on searching. You see, nurses are very good with research. The more she searched, the more stuff I had to try. I can now tell you that none of them worked, except USANA.
Before USANA, my wife felt that she was loosing her battle to implement a nursing care plan that would help me. I was getting worse, and she was worrying more for me. But her faith in God was great, so she kept on searching. She followed the scripture in the bible that says: "examine yourself to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourself." So she did. She was praying to God that something would come her way in order to help me with my health.
One night at the choir rehearsal room at Community Bible Church, my wife and one of her friends (which happened to be a doctor) were discussing about our reason attempt at colonic. How miserable we were, but that we had to continue until we found a solution to my health problems. Her friend looked at her, smiled and said, I have a solution. Why don't you come with me to a meeting on Thursday. So she did, and it has changed our lives forever.
Since we started USANA, my ulcer has disappear, my body is reacting differently to stress, none of the problems that I had torment me any more. I have been set free. USANA products are wonderful, and they work. See, the body needs nutrition in order to survive. I was starving my body of the right nutrients, and with USANA, I am no longer deficient on those essential nutrients.
In the bible, one of my favorite verses states:" For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love." Galatians 5:13. And that is the reason for this blog, to help others in love. My wife and I have decided to share the blessings that God has given us with USANA.
We can help more people achieve the health that they need with this wonderful products. We can also help them with financial conditions that may affect you. USANA has a comprehensive plan to financial freedom. Join us, in order to help others achieve their goals.

At a glance guide to plastic bottles
Lately, you’ve been hearing all kinds of bad news reports about toxic chemicals leaching from plastic bottles and containers. Here at USANA, we care about your health. If you heat these bottles or re-use them, you might be increasing your exposure to hormone mimics or any of a number of other chemicals.
On the other hand, plastic is all around us, and not all of it is hazardous to your family’s health. How do you know which types of plastics are worse, and which are not as bad? The fist clue is the number inside the recycling symbol on the bottom of the bottles or containers. The numbers indicate which are accepted by recyclers, but they also indicate the class of plastic and its chemical characteristics:
No. 1 PETE or PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
No. 2 HDPE (high density polyethylene)
No. 3. V (vinyl) or PVC
No. 4. LDPE (low density polyethylene)
No. 5. PP (polypropylene)
No. 6. PS (polystyrene)
No. 7. Other or miscellanous
To sum up, if the bottle has the number 1, 2, 4, or 5 on the bottom, it’s made from one of the safer plastics. If the number says 3, 6, or 7, there is a greater likelihood that the bottle will be leaving a chemical residue in your beverage. Category No. 3, PVC or polyvinyl chloride, is the worst, followed by No. 7, which may contain polycarbonates (bisphenol-A).
Another clue is that the softer the plastic the more likely that leaching can occur. You can also use your nose. If you sniff a hint of plastic, find another container. Of course, your best bet is to avoid plastics for food and beverage altogether, and use glass, metal, or ceramic refillable containers whenever possible.
Dr. Wentz has diversed this information to associates all around the globe, and here at karolynas, we are making available to the public at large. Please join our vision, and Dr. Wentz mission to be the healthiest family on earth, free of disease, living long healthy lives. To join us, please click here.

Supplements for Asthma?
According to its etiology, asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. The airways are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed (swollen). The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating.
According to its pathophysiology, when the airways react, they get narrower, and less air flows through to your lung tissue. This causes symptoms like wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing, especially at night and in the early morning.
Doctors say that, "the key in truly helping patients with asthma is to rebuild their natural antioxidant defense system and natural immune system back to optimal levels." USANA can help, by the following nutritional recommendations.
Optimal Recommendations
Essentials Breakfast-1, Lunch-1, Dinner-1
Active Calcium Breakfast-2, Lunch-2, Dinner-2
Proflavanol Breakfast-2, Dinner-1
Poly C Breakfast-1, Lunch-1, Dinner-2
Optomega Breakfast-2 tea spoon
BiOmega 3 Breakfast-1, Lunch-1, Dinner-2
Minimal Recommendations
Essentials Breakfast-1, Lunch-1, Dinner-1
Proflavanol Breakfast-1, Dinner-1
Active Calcium Breakfast-1, Lunch-1, Dinner-2
Myron Wentz, Ph.D. (immunology and microbiology), founder and chairman of USANA Health Science, hypothesizes that foods with high peroxide values, especially proccessed, fatty foods, generate "free radicals" that in turn damage healthy cells. Researchers believe that supplementary antioxidants are necessary for combating these free radicals in addition to the body's normal defense.
Disclaimer: "If you have asthma, consult your physician for a medical treatment. USANA should only be used as homeophatic holistic approach to asthma."
