			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent 2008, study, of 7500 mixed-racial subjects, demonstrated an inverse relationship in nonhypertensive white persons in the United States between serum Vitamin D concentrations and <a href="http://naturalformulations.net">systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels.</a> Concentrations of<span>  </span>serum vitamin D levels greater than 80 nmol/L decreased the age-related increase in SBP by 20% compare with participants that had serum vitamin D levels less than 50 nmol/L. <span> </span>Conversely Only 8% of the African-Americans in the study had vitamin D concentrations greater than 80 nmol/L.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The number of recent vitamin D studies <span> </span>have clearly demonstrated that the FDA standards are too low and as a result vitamin D deficiency is widespread.<span>  </span>Furthermore, several recent studies have shown that women with <a href="p://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080515174000.htm">breast cancer</a> have low levels of vitamin D, suggesting that the risk of breast cancer increases in those women with deficient serum levels of vitamin D.<span>  </span>It would seem appropriate to try and increase serum vitamin D levels as a part of the treatment protocol for cancer..</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to <a href="http://www.secondopinionnewsletter.com/aboutus1.php">Robert Jay Rowen, MD</a> “Almost everyone needs to take a daily dose of 5000 IU per day.<span>  </span>If your levels are substantially below 75 nmol.L, then take 10,000 IU daily until your levels move into the sufficient range.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The important thing is to get your vitamin D levels checked so you know exactly what your status is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/CONSUMER/CON00099.html">Immune imbalances and autoimmune response</a> are prevelant in arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.  Inflammation is usually present and is a definite sign that something is wrong. Although the product  <a href="http://naturalformulations.net">NMS Neuromuscular Support </a>has provided some amazing relief for certain conditions involving pain and inflammation, it has traditionally been considered only as a fast acting solution.  Fortunately , a recent case history has shown how wrong that assumption has been.  This individual&#8217;s immune system was not functioning and degraded further as time progressed until she was in constant pain with all of her joints inflamed and hurting.  The only relief obtainable was from ingesting 13 Advil&#8217;s a day.  One of her health care providers suggested she try NMS Neuromuscular Support which she did.  However, she took it every day for 6 weeks before the pain and inflammation was gone. During that six weeks the formula in this product was evidently assisting her own body in restoring her immune function.  A scientific review of the ingredients in NMS Neuromuscular Support  showed that<a href="http://naturalformulations.net/nms-neuromuscular-support.html"> 6 of the 7 natural ingredients</a> in the product had published research studies demonstrating some type of beneficial effect on immune function.  It now appears that individuals with arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis may benefit from this product by using it for several weeks before declaring it ineffective.</p>

Over the counter medications were not able to help. She was given some samples of <a href="http://naturalformulations.net/nms-neuromuscular-support.html">NMS Neuromuscular Support</a> and after only taking two capsules the pain in her knee was  gone.  It was an amazing experience for her and she immediately ordered a bottle so that she could take it routinely with the expectation that her job,  which is very strenuous,   would become more pleasurable.  The moral to this story is don&#8217;t suffer from pain needlessly.  Visit the <a href="http://naturalformulations.net">NMS website</a> and learn more about this amazing product</p>
