Our Adipo-Rx AM Formula™ employs a specialized thermogenic formula designed to promote rapid weight loss by accelerating the body's natural metabolic rate. When used in conjunction with a sensible eating plan and exercise, our Adipo-Rx AM Formula™ will aid your body in the processing of food and fat to energy. You will effectively stop storing fat, and you will begin to build lean muscle mass, critical for having a lean body.

Eat The Foods You Love and Still Lose the Fat !

Our Adipo-Rx PM Formula™ contains several special nutrients that are designed as carbohydrate blocking mechanisms and this formula is the perfect compliment to our Adipo-Rx AM Formula™. Each capsule of our Adipo-Rx PM Formula™ contains the primary nutrient Phaseo Vulgaris, an inhibitor of alpha-amylase, an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of starch in the human gastrointestinal tract.

Ingestion of this inhibitor reduces the digestion of starch in foods so that less sugars are absorbed. End result: your body does not store the excessive amount of carbohydrates that you eat as fat. Tests performed on our Adipo-Rx PM Formula™ prove that just 1 gram of the Phaseo Vulgaris "neutralizes" over 500 grams of dietary starch, or over 2250 calories. But we did not stop there. We have added several other key nutrients to guarantee your weight loss success especially during the evening.

What Is The Ideal Body Weight?

For many people, there is a discrepancy between their ideal body weight for health, for appearance, and their present body weight. From the standpoint of optimum health, an ideal body weight is that weight associated with the lowest risk of diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong. The problem is that even though research has defined a range of "healthy" body weights (those associated with low death rates), these ranges are usually based on looking at an entire population and are difficult to apply to any specific person. Also, typical ideal weight ranges tend to be fairly wide, varying by 10-20 pounds between individuals, so they're not terribly useful to someone interested in getting down to their own ideal weight. So what to do?

Even though there really are no precise methods for finding the ideal body weight for a given individual, there are several methods that can provide useful estimates of ideal body weight. The first, and probably most useful, is to find out your percentage body fat. In general, the lower your body fat percentage, the better, for both health and appearance. It is possible, of course, to have too little body fat such as in cases of eating disorders but this is an extremely uncommon occurrence, even in the fittest of professional athletes.

The most accurate and still affordable way to measure body fat is via the use of fat calipers, following the guidelines established by the American College of Sports Medicine. This technique involves measuring fat levels in the body by assessing levels at certain key fat depots with skin calipers.

Another relatively easy method for estimating a healthy body weight is the body mass index or BMI. The BMI is one the most scientifically accepted methods of estimating healthy weight, but it has some important drawbacks. BMI is a mathematical calculation that gives you a number associated with the risk of diseases associated with obesity. BMI is calculated by dividing your body weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. In general, as BMI increases, so does your risk for disease. The math equation breaks down a bit for people who are extremely muscular, so body builders, football players and many athletes in power-oriented sports will actually find that their BMI scores place them in a category at "higher risk" for diseases associated with obesity. So again, BMI is a useful tool to give you a quick and easy estimate, but it's not perfect.

Finally, a simple method of estimating ideal body weight can be found with a number of height and weight tables that exist. These tables are generated by many sources including government organizations, private medical facilities and large insurance companies. Whether or not the body weights listed in such tables are worth the paper they're printed on depends on several factors. For example some height/weight tables make an allowance for age - basically saying that we should get heavier as we get older. Other tables were developed specifically to estimate the death rates of middle aged men, not exactly the best tool for estimating the ideal body weight for a 20-year old female athlete. Still other tables were developed for specific ethnic groups or for patients with specific conditions. Unless you know the purpose of the table and the population for which it was developed, the information provided is likely to no more useful than an educated guess.

From the standpoint of optimum health, your "ideal" body weight is the one that is associated with the lowest risk of disease. Since it's tough to really get at this number for a specific person, your best bet is to start with calculating your body mass index (BMI). Although BMI is one of the most scientifically accepted methods of estimating healthy weight, it's just an estimate and it become less accurate for more muscular people. For those individuals interested in a more accurate estimate of their optimal body weight in terms of athletic performance or appearance, should consider having their body fat percentage calculated by one of the several options available.

Using Thermogenics: Suggestions, Cautions and Observations

Do you know the best way to use a thermogenic supplement?

Take with a large glass of water. This will help disperse the contents of your product in the stomach, and help prevent irritation and nausea, especially for first time users.

Take 1/2 hour before or after meals for maximum impact on stored fat. Thermogenesis appears to use up energy derived from food before it produces heat from calories derived from energy stores (as in fat). Allow sufficient time after meals to allow food to begin clearing from the stomach.

Take with meals for maximum impact on dietary fat (i.e. to prevent it from being stored as fat). This is a simple corollary of suggestion number. This approach is especially appropriate during holidays when we are prone to eat more than we should of exactly those kinds of foods we should avoid.

If any jitteriness or nervousness occurs, take with meals and a large glass of water. This will reduce the immediate impact on the body, smoothing out the action of the product. Nervous symptoms will usually disappear completely in a few days.

Also, to minimize the impact, start the thermogenic program by taking just one capsule per day, in the morning, and one capsule around noon. Basically, each individual should find his or her own level of consumption, and adjust it from time to time to reflect changing body composition, adaptation, stress levels and so forth. There is no magic guideline that applies to every person.

If you experience some discomfort at first, do not take this as a sign that you can not use our product at all. Before giving up, try making some adjustments in dosage schedule, time of day, with or without meals, reduced dosage, taking it every other day, or even once a week. Feed your adrenals, clean your body and lower the amount of stress in your life.

If you begin with one capsule in the morning, increase amount consumed to 2 capsules in the morning and one around noon after one to two weeks.

For the best results, do not use after 3:00 PM. Most of the day's work is done by early evening. The thermogenic will have a tendency to keep you going later. Taking it after 3:00 PM may make you stay away later than you desire at night.

Use five days a week; reduce dose to one a day for two days a week, or, better still, do not use at all for two days per week. This allows the adrenals and nervous system to rebound.

To avoid jitters, do not use with other caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea and colas. The extra caffeine obtained from these drinks may upset the delicate synergistic balance of the thermogenic product you are taking.

If you are trying to stop smoking, our product can help prevent weight gain. Nicotine is itself a thermogenic agent. When people stop smoking, the absence of nicotine may depress thermogenesis, resulting in weight gain. The traditional gain in weight experienced by smokers who quit is normally attributed to an increased appetite for sweets. It is, more correctly, a defect in thermogenesis. Thermogenic will help restore thermogenesis in such instances.

Asprin-sensitive people should exercise caution in consuming a thermogenic. Although properly formulated thermogenics do not contain enough asprin to cause a problem for most asprin-sensitive persons, individuals with a known serious sensitivity would do well to avoid the use of such products except as directed by their health care professional.

People with severe food allergies should exercise caution when using our products. As will all food products, there is always a chance that some people will be allergic to one of the constituents.

Diabetics seem to do best on one capsule in the morning and one capsule at noon, seven days a week. A reduced dosage has less impact on the adrenals, and on glycogen metabolism. A seven day a week program reduces the tendency for ups and downs in metabolic systems that might be upsetting to the diabetic.

Constipation and/or aggravation of pre-existing benign prostatic hypertrophy may occur in some people. Use of a mild laxative will offset constipation. Use of a compound for reducing the symptoms of BPH will help reduce the tendency of our products to aggravate that condition.

People with large frames may be able to consume more than the recommended dosage. Persons with small frames and little fat may find it more effective to use fewer than the suggested number of capsules.

Pregnant women, women attempting to become pregnant, and nursing mothers should not use thermogenic products as it may affect the health of the fetus or newborn infant.

Some authorities believe that pre-puberty children should not use thermogenics on a long term basis because their nervous systems are still in the development stage.

Persons using medications of any kind for any kind of health problems should consult with their doctor to obtain advise about possible interactions before using thermogenics. Not a great deal of work has been done on drug interactions with thermogenics. The key phrase to describe this product's mode of action is "mild sympathomimetic buffered to produce minimal cardiovascular action."

The product may induce a cleansing cycle in some people, especially smokers and coffee drinkers. The cycle is short lived. Possible symptoms include moderate headaches, skin eruptions and nausea. This is different from allergic reactions which will be long lived and will usually create more severe symptoms such as hives and rashes.

Empirical data suggest that thermogenics have a mid anti-depressant action; persons currently using an anti-depressant drug should be aware of this factor.

The Miracle Mineral Solution

Miracle Mineral Solution is a 28% solution of sodium chlorite in distilled water. Though often referred to in acronym (i.e. "MMS"), an important distinction must be made between Miracle Mineral Solution and the "MMS Protocol" established by chemist and metallurgist Jim Humble and detailed exhaustively in his book, "Breakthrough, the Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century".

When Miracle Mineral Solution is activated according to Jim Humble's protocol (1:5 drop solution using vinegar with 5% acetic acid or greater, lemon or lime juice, or a 10% solution of citric acid), the chemical compound chlorine dioxide is produced. If your privately intended use for Miracle Mineral Solution is to activate it in accordance with Jim Humble's protocol, it is advised you read Mr. Humble's book and study the various third party resources made available here for your convenience.

What is Chlorine Dioxide?

Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula ClO2. Prominent uses include water purification, oral hygiene, and more recently, oral supplementation. According to third party sources:

• Chlorine dioxide is used in many industrial water treatment applications as a biocide including cooling towers, process water and food processing.


• Chlorine dioxide was the principal agent used in the decontamination of buildings in the United States after the 2001 anthrax attacks.


• Chlorine dioxide was also used after Hurricane Katrina (2005) to eradicate dangerous mold from houses inundated by water from massive flooding.


• Chlorine dioxide is less corrosive than chlorine and superior for the control of legionella bacteria.


• Chlorine dioxide is more effective than chlorine against viruses, bacteria, and protozoa – including the cysts of Giardia and the oocysts of Cryptosporidium (parasites).


• Chlorine dioxide is the topic of author, scientist, chemist and humanitarian, Jim Humble's book entitled, "Breakthrough, The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century". In Breakthrough, Humble describes how he discovered the use of chlorine dioxide as an alternative treatment for Malaria, which has since led to over 75,000 documented successful treatments of the disease in Africa. Humble's research aims to establish MMS as a powerful alternative treatment to many pathogen-borne diseases.


• Chlorine dioxide can be used to kill "disease-bearing bacteria, yeasts, molds, fungi and algae", including MRSA and other deadly pathogens.

How About an Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph or Something in Between?

Are you a Ectomorph, Mesomorph, or Endomorph?

Some people, like supermodel Kate Moss, are born to be thin. These delicately built individuals are ectomorphs.

Others are destined to be muscular and athletic, like actors Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tom Cruise. They are mesomorphs.

Then there are the endomorphs, people like talk-show hosts Oprah Winfrey and Rosie O'Donnell, who sport softer, rounder bodies and have difficulty losing weight.

What this is based on
Those three broad categories of body types, or "somatypes," were created in the early 1940s--not by a physician or exercise specialist, but by American psychologist William H. Sheldon.

Sheldon, who died in 1977, developed his somatype theory after studying 4,000 photographs of college-age men. His primary research interest was drawing connections between body type and temperament. He theorized that ectomorphic people tend to be quiet and reflective; mesomorphs brim with energy and vigor; and endomorphic people are magnanimous and love to eat.

While those connections play a relatively minor role in modern psychology, Sheldon's body types have endured to influence, in part at least, how many people exercise, body-build, and manage their weight.

How these body types are used
"They're pretty well accepted" in the nutritional community, says Diane Rigassio, M.S., R.D., a clinical assistant professor at the School of Health-Related Professions at the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey.

Exercise physiologist Richard Cotton, a spokesman for the American Council on Exercise, says that knowing your somatype is useful, but not crucial, in developing an effective fitness prescription.

"An ectomorph can strength train very aggressively and not necessarily gain a lot of muscle mass," Cotton says. "This is often desirable for women but not for men.

"A 'meso' female may gain muscle mass easily but not want big shoulders, so we would focus on staying away from lifting heavy weights for 8 to 12 repetitions and work more with lighter weights in the 15- to 20-rep range."

The endomorph has a thicker body type and tends to carry more fat weight, Cotton continues, so a program that is heavy on aerobic exercise to burn more calories would be warranted. "But she'd still have to have some strength training component," he says.

Few women have a "pure" body type
Relatively few people can be pigeonholed as pure "ecto," "meso," or "endo." Most of us fall somewhere in between. In her book, "Bodyscopes," author Carol Saltus defines nine female somatypes based on Sheldon's concepts:

• Balanced Ecto A light, sharp, alert body with a narrow, shallow, rather short torso; square shoulders; very long, slim limbs; and narrow hips and pelvis.
  
• Endo Ecto A long, soft, willowy body that is rounder and looser than the balanced ecto and has a less tapered waistline and more prominent and curvaceous hips and belly.
  
• Meso Ecto A lean, muscular body with a broader, deeper chest tapering more sharply to the waist than in the balanced ecto.
  
• Balanced Meso A clean-cut, sturdy, athletic body with chest and shoulders strongly dominant over the belly; a low waistline with little indentation; narrow pelvis and hips; strong arms and legs that don't taper; and well-defined muscle contours.
  
• Endo Meso A compact, rounded, solid body with more curves and a higher, more indented waistline than the balanced meso.
  
• Ecto Meso A lean, lithe, agile body that is longer and slimmer than the balanced meso.
  
• Balanced Endo A small-boned, billowy body with soft, gently swelling curves; full, smooth shoulders; high, hourglass waistline; and deeply curved and prominent belly, hips, and thighs.
  
• Meso Endo More strongly muscled than the balanced endo with more firmly molded and pronounced curves.
  
• Ecto Endo A slightly leaner version of the balanced ecto with a high but less sharply indented waistline and narrower chest, shoulders, and hips.

Changing your body type
According to Cotton, designing a weight-management plan is an individualized venture, even if you can correctly identify your somatype. And no matter what you do, he adds, it is difficult, if not impossible, to change the body type you inherited from your parents.

You can, however, move toward a more desirable body type--if you are willing to put in the time. For example, Cotton says, a pure, overweight endo can move toward an endo-meso by significantly reducing her fat and calorie intake and exercising for an hour at moderately high intensity every day. But it is difficult to sustain such a lifestyle over the long haul.

"When I put people on programs, I explore how much time they are really willing to put into this," says Cotton. "They may have goal to get down to what they weighed at age 21, but they also aren't willing to put in the time. It can take an inordinate amount of time for some people to stay thin."

Be realistic
A more realistic tack is making sure your diet is primarily plant based and you are getting at least 20 or 30 minutes of physical activity four or five days a week, according to Cotton and dietitian Rigassio. Additionally, all body types should weight train at least two times a week and stretch their muscles regularly to increase flexibility and lower their injury risk.

"Let changing your body type be secondary to improving your health measures (such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels) and your quality of life," Cotton advises. "You can design your program based on making some changes in your appearance, but it shouldn't be your index for success." 

The Science of Body Fat

How well do you know what body fat is?

Ever been to a party where all the guests were discussing some hot topic, all the while throwing around some new buzzword like so much confetti? Ever been the "odd man out" in such a situation the only one in the group to not know what the heck was going on and fearful of having someone call your bluff?

Well, the weight-loss industry has its share of "alphabet soup" buzzwords, 4 and 5-syllable words--many of which are poorly understood even by professionals who work with overweight people on a daily basis!

This chapter is dedicated to educating you about a basic scientific principle that serves as the foundation of many of today's best-made weight-loss supplements. The million-dollar word, in this case, is thermogenesis. It is derived from 2 Greek words: "thermo-" meaning heat and "genesis" meaning production.

Stedman's Medical Dictionary [24th Ed.] defines it as, "The production of heat; specifically the physiologic process of heat production in the body."Thermogenesis is your primary means of producing body heat and regulating body temperature. You generate body heat by oxidizing fatty acids [from blood stores of triglycerides]. Brown adipose tissue [aka "brown fat"] controls all the complexities of this chemical reaction. Lack of thermogenesis plays a significant role in overweight people. In fact, sluggish thermogenesis accounts for 90% of all cases of obesity [the remainder being largely attributable to genetics or sheer gluttony. Whatever its cause, obesity increases your risk for more than 40 of this nation's most debilitating and deadlyillnesses. Obesity can be managed with exercise and lifestyle modifications to reduce your body fat stores andhealth risks. In far too many cases, however, mainstream medicine often utilizes pharmaceutical drugs such asdexfenfluramine, sibutramine and orlistat to alter food intake. While these drugs can be effective in some people, they are not without serious side effects [remember the "Fen-PhenFiasco"?] and require very careful monitoring by a medical doctor. At its most basic level, obesity can be viewed through the lens of a simple math equation. In a state of health and vitality, the number of calories you take in each day roughly equal the number of calories you burn for energy. Obesity is the opposite or negative side of this same equation: you are not active enough to burn all the calories you take in through your diet each day. As a result, you start accumulating fat deep inside your belly and your waistline slowly expands.

To create a graphic image of thermogenesis at work, picture your child or grandchild shortly after they have eaten a meal and sitting or playing quietly. As you pick them up and hold them in your arms, I also want you to take notice of how warm their body feels. In short, everything you notice about this bundle of joy has been created throughthe process of thermogenesis. In modern times, scientists are enhancing this same natural reaction by scientifically designing formulations which revolve around powerful plant extracts. Under the influence of these herbal remedies, your body undergoes a powerful kick-start in its ability to breakdown all nutrients found in food, and turn them into sources of energy.

State-of-the-art research into obesity is now shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of your weight gain. Such investigations show nutritional therapies--thermogenic formulas using botanicals such as Ma huang and Paullinia - are safe and effective supplements to help you achieve long-term weight management. As you and I get older, we experience a decline in our energy reserves. As a result, we complain of increase dfatigue and having less energy as we age. Increases in obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and depression are just a few of the health problems that also accompany this decreased energy production with advancing age. Animal studies have confirmed thermogenesis drops significantly as you get older. Researchers believe your drop in thermogenesis is due to less oxidation of fats by your brown fat.

Studies show older animals have lessactive brown fat, and this predisposes them to gaining body fat. These studies may also explain sudden weight gain in men after age 40! Numerous studies have shown ma huang--specifically its alkaloid ephedrine--"kick-starts" your level of thermogenesis. Ephedrine is commonly found in the US in 100s of over-the-counter products [decongestants, cold & flu preparations] used by millions of Americans each day. Ephedrine increases the amount of excess fat calories burned by the cells of your fat tissue and muscles.

In a laboratory study, ma huang was found to increase the cellular activity of brown fat by 800%! In another study, researchers found women on diets who were also given ma huang lost 200% as much fat (10 pounds more) as women given a placebo.~~~~~~~~~~~~
