Daily Health Tipby Naturopath Lani Lopez
Nail signs. Many people suffer from peeling flaking nails or nails that break easily. Read this tip
| Nail signs.Many people suffer from peeling flaking nails or nails that break easily. Nail strengthening varnish can help temporarily but don’t get down to the real cause of chipping or cracking nails. These nails signs can indicate that there are inadequate minerals or protein in the diet, or lack of hydrochloric acid (lack of stomach juice digestion). Need more protein? Eat varied forms of protein from dairy products, meat, fish and vegetable protein from pulses, grains and legumes.
• Hydrochloric acid – you can buy Radience hydrochloric acid from health stores. Take before meals to ensure better digestion of protein and minerals.
• Minerals – buy a high potency mineral formula from health stores or pharmacies.
Remember, it takes time to improve the condition of your nails because they grow slow, so be patient. Close

"LEIGHTON SMITH: NEWSTALK ZB HOST
I had seen the doctor who recommended I cut down on salt and caffeine to help my blood pressure. After taking Res-V Plus he says my blood pressure is that of a young healthy man."

"ALICE WORSLEY: BIG 106.2 FM BREAKFAST NEWSREADER
I have been taking Res-V Plus for several years now and Lani's latest product Multiva for the last six months. Being in Breakfast Radio requires getting up early which contributes to tiredness and feeling run down from time to time, so having these products on board each day helps to contribute to my general wellbeing. I have been a great admirer of Lani Lopez's knowledge when it comes to good health and respect the tremendous amount of research and work that goes into each of About Health's Products, and they are made with New Zealanders' health first and foremost"

"RUUD KLEINPASTE: THE WORLD FAMOUS BUG MAN I am not naturally a pill-swallower; In fact, I have always avoided taking medicines or or supplements, simply because I've tried to eat a sensible and rounded diet. I love all the good things in life, especially the fattening ones, judging from my waist-line, but I work hard and play tennis three times per week... perhaps a wee bit too active for my own good? So - how on earth could Lani's RES-V Plus possibly make my life better? I decided to find out and take one each evening before cruising off on another expedition. The result? I sleep real well - I'm gone in 25 seconds. I get up and immediately have the energy to do whatever I need to do - it feels like there are more hours in the day. But what's really interesting is: I can tackle far more and brand-new work topics and not be fazed by any of the research time that goes with it; I call it an increased mental and physical suppleness that expresses itself in a renewed enthusiasm for everything that needs tackling. And for now that'll be saving the Planet and spreading the awareness of the huge and priceless importance of Nature's Biodiversity: all the organisms that live on Earth and that have so many good things in store for us... like the ingredients of RES-V Plus!"

"Three quarters of the way through the year and touch wood not even a sniffle so far. Congratulations you guys Res-V really works for me. I am 51 years of age and have been taking Res-V PLUS for 7 months. Up till now every year I have always had the common cold coughs etc you contract each winter. For the first time ever I have enjoyed excellent health through the winter. I have also noticed increased energy levels with my exercise programs. I believe Res-V Plus has been the reason for my health and energy levels. I recently recommended Res-V Plus to a close friend and he has since contacted me to say thanks as he has also noticed a definite change in both health and energy."

"I am a busy working Mum of 4 boys (triplets aged 12 and a 5 year old). I work part-time as a gym instructor and 30 hours a week in a senior corporate role. Day to day a LOT of energy goes out – my challenge is keeping a spring in my step toward the end of each day. After just 3 weeks on Res-V I find I have loads of energy, greater clarity of thought, better memory recall, and best of all I am sleeping more soundly than I have in a long time. I recommend Res-V to anybody who has an overfull life and wants to stay ahead of the game."

"I normally need to sleep twice a day and have done ever since I can remember, however after taking Res-V Plus for 3-4 months I don't need that daytime nap, not even while I'm driving long distances. "

"I thought I'd let you know what's been happening to me while I have been taking your product. I normally have a thing with my heart and circulation when I work out that is, as it is a little behind my fitness level. It feels as though my heart has a difficult time keeping up with me. Yesterday at the gym I noticed I had strength and could run longer with endurance (great stamina so to speak). My heart was pumping in a completely normal fashion and I felt fantastic, like I could run a mile so I ran 5k's. Awesome."

"I am in my 50s and as a very busy corporate man, I have been a serious sports competitor (Taupo Bike race 3 times) in the past. Unfortunately I now a have chronic fatigue syndrome and have tried everything (many different natural therapies including naturopaths, homeopaths and acupuncturists) to help my energy levels. After finishing the first bottle of Res-V Plus (taking one capsule daily, and up to 3 capsules daily three times a week when needed), I find I'm sleeping well, and waking up and actually wanting to get out of bed. Even under extreme pressure I normally feel exhausted but after using Res-V Plus I am clear headed and have a wonderful sense of wellbeing. My diet is good and I drink plenty of water, and, the occasional glass of Wairarapa red wine. "

"My mother has been taking Res-V Plus; and is now sleeping through the night until at least 5am. This is a huge help to me as I have to get up to her for night time toilet visits. She was regularly getting up at around 2.30am or 3am in spite of not getting to bed until often near 11pm. I don't know how an antioxidant can have helped in this area but there you are. My eldest sister who is an experienced nurse and very 'medical' in her approach to supplements has also started taking Res-V Plus. She tells me she has energy and can only put it down to Res-V Plus... she said she didn't want to initially but has had to!"

"I have Parkinson's disease, and when I was put on a very strong blood thinner 5 years ago my Parkinson's symptoms got much worse. Normally I have to have a sleep during the day but since taking Res-V Plus I don't need my nap because the Res-V Plus has affected my energy levels and wellbeing. Perhaps as a consequence my tremors have normalised somewhat."

"I am thrilled with Res-V Plus. I have energy and do not feel stressed, a lot calmer. I suffer from high blood pressure which tends to go up and down on a regular basis. Since being on Res-V Plus I don't feel as crook as a dog or don't feel I have the need to go rushing to the doctor every 5 minutes."

"Hi, I'm 47 years old and have always been generally pretty fit. 7 months ago however, I had very high BP and my health was not good. I played soccer and could hardly run and was always very stiff in my muscles after the game. I now play soccer and go to a boxing gym 4 times per week and my muscles are never stiff. My BP is normalised to 120/80 and my joints no longer ache. All of my mates in my soccer team keep asking how do I keep so fit and look so young! It's because I started taking Res-V, it really is a miracle and I have now told my friends my secret. "

"I need to share the wonderful news I received yesterday from my doctor.I am gradually reducing my blood pressure meds so that I will be off one in a few months time. I have been taking Res-V Plus for three months. My blood pressure has normalised to 120/70 and stayed there. For years my blood pressure has required mointioring and increased meds. I have not done anything differently,in fact I was under immense strain.To add strength to our belief in your product my husband Merv has also been taking it and his blood pressure is also now normal and he has great joint mobility and comfort. Merv is 60years old and I'm 58 and we both work full time and are very active. Many thanks for our wellbeing."

"Five years ago I was refused a gym membership because my BP was way too high. I have been on medication to control this since then. I started Res-V Plus 12 months ago after hearing you talk about it to Leighton Smith. 3½ months ago I complained to my doctor that I was feeling light headed. He checked my BP and found it was very low. Over the next month he reduced the strength of the medication. Then removed it completely. I have now been off all BP meds for over two months and have normal BP and now feel completely rejuvenated. Even my daily nana nap is now a thing of the past. Nothing else has changed apart from the fact that I have been taking Res-V Plus. Thanks."

"Dear Lani Every 3 months for years I’ve had a blood pressure check and prescriptions written for high blood pressure medications. 3 months ago my blood pressure was 170/100 and I did not feel well. After this visit to the G.P. I started Res-V Plus, one capsule daily. Today I once again went to my G.P. for a check up and to my surprise my Blood Pressure was 140/80. My G.P. was pleased, so I told him about Res-V Plus and he was happy for me to continue taking it. I now feel so well and full of energy. Thank you so much for your help."

"My cholesterol is now within normal levels:
2003:Total Cholesterol (5.1), HDL (1.6), LDL (3.1). Ratio – 3.2
2006:Total Cholesterol (6.29), HDL (1.22), LDL - don’t know but must’ve been bad! Ratio –5.2
While on Res-V Plus my results last week: Total Cholesterol (4.8), HDL (1.8), LDL (2.4). Ratio – 2.7
Also, my ferritin has always been high... last time the count was 296, this time its 220. (Still about the high end of normal which is apparently 120, but still... has dropped). I wonder if that’s got anything to do with Resveratrol."

"Hi, I would like to share my personal experience with Res-V Plus. Some time ago I had high cholestrol (6.2). I was told that with diet and exercise I could expect a 10-15% reduction in this figure. I started taking Res-V Plus 6 months ago and when I had my cholesterol retested in December it had come down to 4.3- a reduction of over 30%. I am certain this result is due to taking Res-V Plus, of course coupled with healthy eating and exercise. Please feel free to tell others of my experience as such good news should be shared!"

"We recently read an article in one of your latest newsletters and saw an item about how Res-V Plus had helped a lady's cracked heels and, this is exactly what has happened for my husband's feet too. He used to get badly cracked heels every summer, but this summer the skin on his feet has been supple and he has not had any cracks. Additionally, 10 years ago my husband went to the doctor for a skin complaint and he was diagnosed with dermatitis on his arms, legs and hands. When my husband asked what the cure was, the doctor said basically that he had it for life. My husband has been using prescription creams on his dermatitis ever since then. The dermatitis got so bad that even picking courgettes from the garden would cause another outbreak. He's been taking Res-V Plus for about 9 months now, and the scaly skin has almost normalised and his elbow skin looks healthy. "

"Kaye has Crohn’s Disease—an insidious, pervasive and highly painful condition. She has, in fact, what her former specialist Professor Cliff Tasman-Jones (who studied with the discoverer of the disease named after him, Dr Crohn) describes as ‘equal to the worst he has ever seen in England, the United States and New Zealand.’ She uses Prednisone for her condition (and has ever since 1985) which, in its own right produces any number of side effects. Ever since starting to take Res-V Plus a little over a year ago, Kaye has found her energy levels increasing, her Crohn's symptoms significantly changed and her overall health and vitality much improved. Proof of the effectiveness came when, unwittingly, she ran out of pills and her husband forgot to place the order. In those 5 days her symptoms flared-up again and her energy dissipated. After three days back on Res-V Plus, she is back to feeling as she previously did. Positive,energised and generally symptom free. "

"I have Hepatitis C, and I decided a few years ago to try and manage this problem with herbal medicine, rather than go onto the prescription medications being offered as treatment - with all their potential side effects. Anyway, after a few years of trying different things with varying results, in January this year I started taking some natural supplements, including your Res-V Plus. The reason I chose Res-V Plus was because it has Turmeric and Green tea, which I have read are helpful for the liver and hepatitis C. This week I had my blood tests done and the results are great with my ALT level almost normal and AST levels actually within the normal range. - which is amazing believe me."

"I'm 60 years old and have had low libido for years and even used to lose interest half way through. Had my prostate out which didn't make a difference, however since taking Res-V Plus at 2 capsules daily and I can't believe the results. I wouldn't normally write this but for guys this can be a real issue. My erections are no problem and I can even last a long time instead of getting puffed and tired. I also feel fabulous energy throughout the day and even enjoy more golf. "

"Thanks for your message in response to my query about taking 3 pills a day. One other bit of feedback which I can give (which I avoided mentioning last time) is that, since I’ve been taking Res-V Plus, my libido seems to have returned. I was beginning to think it had been permanently laid to rest! – and, because I’m 53, I was trying to regard it as “just one of those things” that happened. Anyway, whether this is simply an offshoot of having better energy levels generally, or whether it’s a bonus effect that just isn’t spoken about in the radio ads, I thought I could mention it, just in case you’re keeping track of reported results. Now, if only the bottles came with one spare man attached, I’d be away laughing!"

"I used to get sick twice a year but since taking Res-V Plus,my health has normalised and I don't get sick. The difference is amazing and I am continually recommending Res-V. If I was in charge of public health I would see that it was prescribed by doctors and state subsidised because I think it is the most universal and most cost effective way to improve the nations health! I came home from a very hard day at work sometime last year went to lie on the bed, was shaking and knew I had a bad bug and guess what? A couple of hours later I get up am not shaking anymore, just a little drowsy and next day fit as a fiddle. If I hadn't been on Res-V I know from past experience that I would be off work for at least a couple of days or more. Productivity of the country would improve out of sight if we were all taking Res-V regularly. I only ever take one capsule a day. I do not experience any uplift but my health is so much better and I don't get sick even when my 4 children who don't take it get the flu and my wife when she wasn't taking it. Now she is a believer too. I congratulate you for bringing NZ this fine product. The bonus is I may even live longer as well!"

"Four years ago I was diagnosed with two Auto Immune Diseases. Sjogrens and Scleroderma - CREST. Two years ago I heard you talking on Newstalk ZB to Justin Du Fresne saying how good Res-V Plus was for circulation, Raynauds being a big problem for me, so I ordered my first Res-V Plus. At the time I was also contemplating having to give up my fairly physical job of 20 years because my body was aching so much from the work. What a difference taking Res-V Plus made. My body has been supported as aches and pains and general fatigue which are all symptoms of my condition have normalised. And I have not suffered with any complications of Raynaud’s over the last two winters, which I had done previously. Two years later I am still working and feeling great. I'm also sleeping so well now. Initially I took 2 Res-V Plus a day but these days I find 3 a day is right for me. Thank you for making this amazing combination of herbs. It has made a huge difference to coping with my condition in my day to day life."

"I started takind these supplements three weeks ago and the difference has been amazing. I am a diabetic type 2 and was always struggling with sugar levels, tiredness and everthing was always such an effort after a few days of taking Res-V Plus I feel amazing. Lots of energy and end up sleeping. It is now not even a struggle to get out of bed. So thank you they have changed my life."

"I had become so fatigued with the constant use of steroids and the continuous brown muck on my chest it has become quite a struggle for me.
However, with Leighton's constant praise of Resveratrol I gave it a go and have been so amazed at my energy levels. It makes an amazing difference to my enjoying the day instead of just surviving it. I truly wish I could fully convey how much a difference Res-V Plus makes, thank you. "

"I have been taking Res-V Plus for six months and in that time my total cholesterol levels have dropped from 6.7 to 4.9 and my glucose levels are now within the normal range. I am absolutely thrilled with these results as I was very concerned about the possibility of developing type 2 diabetes. I know I can help my health now with a healthy diet and Res-V Plus. I am now working on my weight and have joined a gym.Keep up the good work and research and thanks for making such a great product (and it's natural). "
