Pain & Anxiety Solutions
Consider that the thing we call “stress” is actually another name for anxiety, and the name we give this feeling depends on the degree and duration of the stressor.
A major stressor is pain. We address this aspect of stress because it is so prevalent and has many different causes and presentations.
If you live with chronic pain, then it is likely that you suffer anxiety alongside it. There are very few things as debilitating and upsetting as chronic pain.
This page contains a lot of information. Reading all the sections provides more in-depth understanding as to the approach we recommend as part of a pain-management protocol.
We have spent a lot of research time and effort to establish the different Root Causes of various pain conditions. The result of this research and experience are some unique formulas.
When these formulated products are used as directed, and the associated lifestyle modifications are made, pain begins to lessen. In many cases we see pain reduction begin in the first few hours after supplementation begins.
We look at the many facets of pain, and take note of how the different types of pain may have the same origin: cellular waste processing, glucose metabolism and poor cell membrane function. All of these increase oxidative stress, and thus inflammation. Inflammation = pain. Read on for more information.
WARNING: if you are on any prescription medication, have an illness or a chronic disease, or are in a compromised state of health, consult your doctor before taking any of our supplements, or before implementing any of our recommended lifestyle or dietary changes.

LIPO-ACTIVE RAPID RELIEF is one of our signature products. It is a powerfully effective 4-in-1 a formula which rapidly eases aching joints and other pain symptoms.
When your cells are toxic they cannot function properly. Cellular waste that builds up in cells is a source of cellular toxicity. There is a lot more to adequate cellular methylation / detoxification than supporting the well-known MTHFR genes!
The importance of reducing oxidative stress in cellular waste removal processes is vastly misunderstood. Coupled with faulty glucose metabolism, or excessive glucose or carbohydrate metabolism, these cellular processes amount to pain and inflammation.
Use this product if you have any of these symptoms:
- Joint pain
- Burning muscles
- Tingling or burning in hands and feet
- Nerve pain
- Chest pain
- Cardiovascular issues
- Weight management problems
- Insulin resistance
A uniquely powerful 4-in-1 formulation, the ingredients are known to support joints, neuropathy, vascular health and carbohydrate metabolism; may be useful for metabolic syndrome support.
L-citrulline supports nitic oxide production in the body, helping to reduce ammonia and uric acid build up.
Liposomal Glutathione provides essential antioxidant support to reduce inflammation caused by radical oxygen species (R.O.S).
Gabapentin helps regulate the activity of neurotranmitters, providing supportive neuropathy and muscle pain relief.
Benfotiamine (B1) helps manage carbohydrate metabolism, and the reduction oxidants that cause inflammation.
Gene Information: Known support for NOS, PEMT, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, liver detoxification and cellular waste removal.
SUGAR-RELATED PAIN OR DISCOMFORT?
Pain or discomfort may be related to high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar, also known as hyperglycemia, can occur in people with diabetes or in people who have impaired glucose tolerance, which can lead to prediabetes. High blood sugar can cause symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. In severe cases, high blood sugar can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening.
If you are experiencing pain or discomfort that you believe may be related to high blood sugar, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional. They can help to diagnose the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
It’s also important to maintain healthy blood sugar levels by eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and following the recommendations of a healthcare professional. This can help to reduce the risk of developing diabetes and other health problems related to high blood sugar.
LIPO-ACTIVE GLUTATIONE is known support for DNA synthesis, fatty liver, cell membranes, fat transport and acetylcholine production for brain and memory. Essential support for liver detoxification.
Liver detoxification is an important method to reduce weight-related anxiety (and headache) symptoms by reducing inflammation and flushing toxins. A toxic liver may be the cause of an untold number of issues.
The added extra, related to anxiety, is that phospholipids are essential for healthy brain cells. Phospholipids make up the largest portion of the fats that make up the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane. This means that cell membrane health is supported by adequate daily phospholipid intake. Cell membranes manage the transport of nutrients into, and waste out of the cells, providing valuable anti-inflammatory support.
Gene Information: Known support for PEMT, Il-1A MTRR, MTHFR677, BHMT-02, APOE, and cell membranes, healthy homocysteine, metabolism, memory and fatty liver.
COMPLETE GLUCO-SUPPORT is a fully loaded formulation that provides essential support for sugar cravings reduction, blood glucose regulation and improved insulin response; essential for use for weight management and insulin resistance.
The term “Sugar Pain” describes the agony after eating high GI foods or sugary snacks. Until it is known that this is a very real thing, many people do not connect the dots between their sugar consumption and their pain.
Cutting out sugar, high and moderate GI carbs, fruit, alcohol and juices or cooldrinks seems like a difficult task. Aim to do it for 3 days and notice how much better you feel. Your pain will significantly reduce if sugar pain is an issue for you. Eat a sugary snack and see how you feel. Avoidance is a big part of the cure if sugar is contributing to your pain.
If this product works well for you, then add in PURE LIVER SUPPORT to improve the result.
If that is the case, then COMPLETE GLUCO-SUPPORT is a great product for you. It helps to reduce the inflammation that accompanies rapid blood glucose spikes.
Sometimes it’s not just how much you eat, but what you eat. Manage the way carbohydrates are metabolised – and reduce insulin resistance symptoms – by taking COMPLETE GLUCO-SUPPORT with each meal.
Other times, no matter how little you eat, you still struggle to lose weight. This is upsetting and confusing. Look towards supporting glucose metabolism to help resolve this issue.
Gene Information: Known support for PPARG, IRS1, SLC2A2, TCF7L2, ADR82 A16G, PEMT, NOS, NAT2, and antioxidant action.
COMPLETE METHYLATION is a fully-loaded, complete formulation to support the cellular cleansing and detoxification processes known as cellular methylation; suitable for over-methylation and under-methylation. Contains nutrients to support cellular methylation. Before starting on these “upstream” detoxification processes, it is wise to support the “downstream” liver detoxification processes first (with Pure NAC and/or Bioactive Glutathione). This opens up the pathways and prevents toxin buildup and unnecessary detoxification effects. Start on the lowest dose of this product, and increase daily dose when well tolerated.
Start this product once you have been on the previous ones for a few weeks. Deep cellular methylation amounts to cellular detoxification. Open up the downstream pathways of the liver before you begin to dump toxins into what may be a blocked exit for toxins.
Gene Information: Known support for NOS, CBS, SUOX, SHMT, ACE, BHMT-2, COMT, MTHFR1298, MTHFR677, MTR, MTRR, PEMT, VDR and ensures cellular detoxification and waste removal.
Incomplete processing of cellular waste, due to the faulty cellular methylation/ detoxification mechanism – known as overmethylation – rapidly increases the build-up of urea and ammonia in the cells.
This means that your cells will become overloaded with these cellular waste products. In turn, these promote oxidants and result in inflammation and joint, pain, neuropathy, diabetes and cardiovascular issues.
How fast this overload will occur depends on your personal genetics, your lifestyle and your exposure to environmental toxins.
Excess cellular waste is caused by:
- Inefficient or absent genes.
- Epignentic factors such as toxins.
- Insufficient exercise.
Why is it Important to Support the NOS Gene in Cellular Methylation?
Well supported by Complete Methylation, the NOS gene, when mutated, blocked or “dirty” from an overload of toxins, is one of the final steps of the cellular waste removal mechanism that is known as cellular methylation/ detoxification. This may be a significant Root Cause of increased oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is promoted by free radicals.
PURE LIVER SUPPORT contains phospholipids which are Essential Fatty Acids that are known support for DNA synthesis, fatty liver, cell membranes, fat transport and acetylcholine production for brain and memory. Essential support for liver detoxification.
Pain and inflammation management and healthy cell membranes are linked, because healthy cell membranes allow nutrients into and waste products out of the cell.
Liver detoxification is an important method to reduce hormone-related anxiety (and headache) symptoms. A toxic liver may be the cause of an untold number of issues.
The added extra, related to anxiety, is that phospholipids are essential for healthy brain cells. Phospholipids make up the largest portion of the fats that make up the bi-lipid layer of the cell membrane. This means that cell membrane health is supported by adequate daily phospholipid intake. Cell membranes manage the transport of nutrients into, and waste out of the cells.
Gene Information: Known support for PEMT, Il-1A MTRR, MTHFR677, BHMT-02, APOE, and cell membranes, healthy homocysteine, metabolism, memory and fatty liver.
L-CITRULLINE is considered to be a functional antioxidant under certain physiological conditions.
It is because this amino acid is able to increase eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide) – by boosting l-arginine in cells – that it reduces ROS (radical oxygen species) formation. This qualifies L-Citrulline as one of the important supplements to use as part of your pain-relief protocol.
Cheap and easy to use, L-Citrulline quickly becomes a home essential. Try it in water as a refreshing, citrus-tasting drink.
Use it to boost and support nitric oxide production in the body for antioxidant relief; which helps support vascular health because nitric oxide causes blood vessels to relax; supports the removal of cellular waste from methylation and over-methylation processes, and reduces the build-up of ammonia and urea; may support uric acid relief and cellular detoxification.
Gene Information: Known support for eNOS, SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), urea and uric acid reduction, and ammonia removal from cells.
HOW DOES NITRIC OXIDE SUPPORT THE ENDOTHELIUM?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule produced by cells in the endothelium, the inner lining of blood vessels. It helps to regulate blood flow and blood pressure by relaxing and widening blood vessels.
When the endothelium produces NO, it diffuses into the smooth muscle cells that surround the blood vessels, causing them to relax. This relaxation of the smooth muscle cells leads to the widening of the blood vessels, a process known as vasodilation. Vasodilation helps to increase blood flow and lower blood pressure.
NO also has a variety of other functions in the body, including acting as a signaling molecule in the immune system and playing a role in the regulation of blood clotting.
Overall, NO plays a critical role in maintaining healthy blood flow and blood pressure and is essential for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system.
PURE MAGNESIUM CHELATE is an optimised blend of Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Orotate.
Magnesium affects a number of neurotransmitter activities, inhibiting the release of some excitatory neuro- transmitters. It acts as a voltage-gated antagonist at the glutamate, N-methyl-D- aspartate (NMDA) receptor, and antagonizes calcium entry via voltage-gated channels of all types.
Magnesium is an essential co-factor in many enzyme processes, making it a wise choice to use during a detox. If you have muscle aches or cramps, this is a sure sign you are low in magnesium. As a calming sleep aid, Magnesium support restful sleep.
HOW DOES MAGNESUM SUPPORT DETOXIFICATION?
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is involved in a variety of functions in the body, including energy production and muscle and nerve function. It may also play a role in supporting detoxification, the process by which the body removes toxins and waste products.
Magnesium is involved in the activation of enzymes that are involved in detoxification processes in the liver, including those that help to break down and eliminate harmful substances such as drugs, alcohol, and environmental toxins.
Magnesium may also help to support detoxification by increasing the production of bile, a substance produced by the liver that helps to break down and eliminate toxins. It may also help to reduce oxidative stress, which can damage cells and contribute to the development of diseases such as cancer.
While magnesium may support detoxification in the body, it is not a replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle. Maintaining a healthy diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods, as well as staying hydrated and engaging in regular physical activity, can help to support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
RELIEF works on the understanding that the body can resolve its own issues. Tiny amounts of natural substances, like plants and minerals, are used to stimulate the rebalancing process. Frankincense is known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Ideal for use at times of detoxification to reduce detox effects, for joint and muscle pain, or for any inflammatory condition. Our proprietary micronisation process enhances the effect of the extracts.
BOSWELLIA AS FOR ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPPORT
Boswellia, also known as frankincense, is a tree resin that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. Some research suggests that boswellia may have anti-inflammatory properties, which may make it useful in the treatment of conditions that are characterized by inflammation, such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
The active ingredients in boswellia, known as boswellic acids, are thought to be responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds may inhibit the production of certain enzymes that contribute to inflammation, such as 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).
While some research suggests that boswellia may be effective in reducing inflammation, more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and to determine the most effective dosage and duration of use. It’s important to speak with a healthcare professional before using boswellia or any other supplement, as it can interact with certain medications and may not be suitable for everyone.
PURE MARINE OIL OMEGAS provide the perfect 3:2 ratio of DHA:EPA; supports cardiovascular health and is a known anti-Inflammatory; known to lower triglycerides and blood pressure; support health brain function and eyes. Useful to take as part of meals to slow the glucose response to carbohydrates, reducing oxidative stress.
HINT: take 1 softgel capsule just before a meal to benefit from its dual-action as an anti-inflammatory and to slow down glucose metabolism. This is especially useful if “Sugar Pain” is a problem.
Gene Information: Known support for NOS, MTHFR677, PPARG, IL-1B, IL6, IL-1A, CRP4, PON1, SULT1A1, anti-inflammatory, lowers triglycerides, and healthy cell membranes.
OMEGA 3 FISH OILS FOR INFLAMMATION
Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish oil, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial for reducing inflammation in the body. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat that are essential for good health. They are found in high amounts in fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, as well as in flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
There is evidence that omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is associated with a variety of health problems, including heart disease, arthritis, and asthma. Omega-3 fatty acids work by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals called cytokines, which play a key role in the body’s immune response.
If you’re interested in taking fish oil or other supplements that contain omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce inflammation, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider first. They can help you determine the appropriate dosage and ensure that the supplement is safe and appropriate for you. In addition, it’s important to remember that supplements are not a replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle. Eating a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods, and engaging in regular physical activity, are important for overall health and can also help reduce inflammation in the body.
SLEEP oral spray is an effective solution for reducing stress and anxiety by improving sleep. A helpful “side-effect” of this product is pain reduction.
A lack of sleep spikes the stress hormone cortisol. Too much cortisol creates feelings of stress and anxiety. Just enough cortisol is needed for focus and concentration. Increased cortisol tendencies are made worse by additional stress.
Stress comes in many forms, and this will cause cortisol to increase. Stressors may include any of the following:
- Poor sleep
- Insufficient sleep
- Relationship difficulties
- Work stress
- Financial stress
- Environmental stress
- Junk food
- Toxins
- Unbalanced hormones
- Chronic pain
- Disease
We offer you a soothing solution to ease you into a deep and restful sleep: our product SLEEP.
A tried and trusted formula that quickly becomes a home-essential because it supports sleep, relaxation & cell membrane health.
This product works on the understanding that the body can resolve its own issues. Tiny amounts of natural substances, like plants and minerals, are used to stimulate the rebalancing process. Lavender is known for its nerve tonifying, relaxing and calming properties, making it ideal for use before sleep. Our proprietary micronisation process enhances the effect of the extracts.
A few sprays before bedtime promotes instant sleep. If you wake up at night with a busy mind, take a few more sprays. Using it during the day reduces cortisol by relaxing you, without putting you to sleep.
- Increased cellular waste and/toxins cause oxidative stress, and this is experienced as either pain or inflammation issues.
- The type of pain and where you feel it, is largely determined by your genetics.
- Previous trauma or injury will have an impact on where you experience pain, exacerbating the genetic impacts, and vice-versa.
CELLULAR WASTE & HEALTH ISSUES
Cells in the body produce waste products as a result of normal metabolic processes. These waste products, which include things like carbon dioxide and nitrogenous compounds, are typically eliminated from the body through the kidneys, lungs, and other organs.
However, if the body is unable to effectively eliminate these waste products, they can accumulate and cause health problems. For example, high levels of nitrogenous compounds, such as urea, can lead to a condition called hyperammonemia, which can cause confusion, lethargy, and coma. High levels of carbon dioxide can also lead to a condition called hypercapnia, which can cause shortness of breath and other respiratory symptoms.
There are several factors that can contribute to the accumulation of cellular waste products, including:
Kidney disease: The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and eliminating them through urine. If the kidneys are damaged or not functioning properly, waste products can build up in the body.
Poor nutrition: A diet that is high in processed foods and low in nutrients can lead to the production of excess waste products in the body.
Dehydration: Drinking enough fluids is important for helping the body eliminate waste products. If you are dehydrated, your kidneys may not be able to function properly, leading to the accumulation of waste products.
Chronic conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, can affect the body’s ability to eliminate waste products.
If you are concerned about the accumulation of cellular waste products in your body, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider. They can help you identify any underlying issues and recommend treatment options to help your body eliminate waste products more effectively.
You are Not your Symptoms
Many people, from laymen to healthcare professionals, look at symptoms and classify a complex array of issues under a blanket heading called “Arthritis”, “Diabetes” or Cardiovascular Disease”. They then feel comfortable that the problem has been properly identified and treatment begins. Unfortunately, all too often, the real cause of those symptoms remains unresolved.
If we continue to apply a band aid to a gushing wound without removing the knife, we are wasting our time. It is as simple as that.
If we want the result to be both effective and lasting, then we need to start looking at our symptoms from a different perspective.
If you are ready to explore what this means, then ask yourself this question:
- What is the Root Cause of my problem?
- When I fix this, my symptoms will cease to exist.
Finding the Root Cause
Of course, finding the Root Cause of any problem is the no-brainer solution. It is obvious that this is what we need to do, yet it is seldom the case that the Root Cause is properly assessed or adequately addressed.
How do you know you have not found the Root Cause? Ø Your symptoms persist. |
The real trick lies in knowing where to look. Once we find the smoking gun that has wounded us, we are more likely to be able to fix it.
