The Company also announced placing its first shipments of Stemulite(TM) Fitness Formula packaged for retail sales.

National Manager for Local Accounts Matthew Wagner said, “Now that we’ve had the ‘brick and mortar’ launch, the fourth quarter will be focused on building the national Factory Rep team.”

The Company expects the additional market initiatives will support a continued revenue growth curve.

Obviously, you still can’t get it in stores so go ahead and get your Stemulite online now.

from David

Hi, im interested in taking stemulite but i guess im a little leary of short term and long term side effects. Everywhere I look online all I keep seeing is about how great it is. I was also wondering if the FDA has approved the supplement. Thanks in advance.

Hi, David -
The FDA neither approves or disapproves Stemulite. The individual ingredients in Stemulite, however, have been deemed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA.

Few people realize that although drugs have to be approved by the FDA before reaching the market, supplements don’t have to be approved.

Supplement companies can volunteer for approval but there’s really no point. The approval process can take years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This cost would be passed on to the consumer and make the product prohibitively expensive.

Besides, studies by the FDA show that most people already assume all supplements are approved by the FDA. Thus FDA approval wouldn’t even sway most consumers.

The GRAS classification at least implies the FDA sees no detrimental short or long term effects.

Deals with places like GNC and BJ’s are in the works, but for now there’s still only one place to buy Stemulite.

Greetings Stephen!

I spoke with you briefly at the Ryan Lee boot camp last week. I was asking you about information on how to become a much better trainer and you handed me your card.

So what’s your secret? Are there any materials you can recommend? do you have any web resources you can point me towards?

I really appreciate your help.

It was god to meet you are the Boot camp and I look forward to hearing from you.

As I’ve stated many times before, my mission is to help as many people as possible through personal fitness training - whether I help those people directly or indirectly by helping their trainers get better.

Here’s my secret …

It’s one word.

You ready?

Volunteer.

I got started writing by volunteering to write for the Baltimore Cycling Club and the Baltimore Road Runners Club.

I got started in post-rehab by volunteering in the Physical Therapy Department at Union Memorial Hospital.

I got involved with fitness conventions by volunteering at Fact Fast (which became IDEA Fitness Fusion).

My first publicity outside of the industry came when I volunteered to run the San Antonio Marathon with Leukemia Society’s Team in Training. I later volunteered to coach the local Team Diabetes.

I volunteered to became the nations’ first full-time personal trainer to serve on the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness.

It’s that simple. When you want to serve, when you want to learn, and when you want to be around the role models you’ve carefully selected, volunteer to help.

Caffeine Experts Call for Warning Labels for Energy Drinks

Johns Hopkins scientists who have spent decades researching the effects of caffeine report that a slew of caffeinated energy drinks now on the market should carry prominent labels that note caffeine doses and warn of potential health risks for consumers.

“The caffeine content of energy drinks varies over a 10-fold range, with some containing the equivalent of 14 cans of Coca-Cola, yet the caffeine amounts are often unlabeled and few include warnings about the potential health risks of caffeine intoxication,” says Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., one of the authors of the article that appears in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence this month.

The market for these drinks stands at an estimated $5.4 billion in the United States and is expanding at a rate of 55 percent annually.

Advertising campaigns, which principally target teens and young adults, promote the performance-enhancing and stimulant effects of energy drinks and appear to glorify drug use.

Without adequate, prominent labeling; consumers most likely won’t realize whether they are getting a little or a lot of caffeine. “It’s like drinking a serving of an alcoholic beverage and not knowing if its beer or scotch,” says Griffiths.

Caffeine intoxication, a recognized clinical syndrome included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, is marked by nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, gastrointestinal upset, tremors, rapid heartbeats (tachycardia), psychomotor agitation (restlessness and pacing) and in rare cases, death.

Reports to U.S. poison control centers of caffeine abuse showed bad reactions to the energy drinks. In a 2007 survey of 496 college students, 51 percent reported consuming at least one energy drink during the last month.

Of these energy drink users, 29 percent reported “weekly jolt and crash episodes,” and 19 percent reported heart palpitations from drinking energy drinks.

This same survey revealed that 27 percent of the students surveyed said they mixed energy drinks and alcohol at least once in the past month.

“Alcohol adds another level of danger,” says Griffiths, “because caffeine in high doses can give users a false sense of alertness that provides incentive to drive a car or in other ways put themselves in danger.”

A regular 12-ounce cola drink has about 35 milligrams of caffeine, and a 6-ounce cup of brewed coffee has 80 to 150 milligrams of caffeine.

Because many energy drinks are marketed as “dietary supplements,” the limit that the Food and Drug Administration requires on the caffeine content of soft drinks (71 milligrams per 12-ounce can) does not apply.

The caffeine content of energy drinks varies from 50 to more than 500 milligrams.

“It’s notable that over-the-counter caffeine-containing products require warning labels, yet energy drinks do not,” says Chad Reissig, Ph.D., one of the study’s authors.

Griffiths notes that most of the drinks advertise their products as performance enhancers and stimulants – a marketing strategy that may put young people at risk for abusing even stronger stimulants such as the prescription drugs amphetamine and methylphenidate (Ritalin).

A 2008 study of 1,253 college students found that energy drink consumption significantly predicted subsequent non-medical prescription stimulant use, raising the concern that energy drinks might serve as “gateway” products to more serious drugs of abuse.

Potentially feeding that “transition” market, Griffiths says, are other energy drinks with alluring names such as the powdered energy drink additive “Blow” (which is sold in “vials” and resembles cocaine powder) and the “Cocaine” energy drink. Both of these products use the language of the illegal drug trade.

Top 3 Reasons Why More Moms are NOT “into” Resistance Training
By Holly Rigsby, CPT
www.FitYummyMummy.com

Moms have mistakenly believed that resistance training shouldn’t be the foundation of their fat loss program. Here are the three most common myths about resistance training and the “truth” about each.

1. Moms believe the answer to Fat Loss lies in CARDIO
Can’t blame you, Mom! The fact that we are being bombarded with misleading ads and articles on a daily basis boasting that the best way to burn fat is to simply DO more cardio.

From a Popular Beauty Magazine:
“The formula for great abs is crunches + cardio = results. Cardio burns fat, uncovering the incredible abs you’ll have thanks to those crunches. So hop on that exercise bike, elliptical or treadmill for 30 to 45 minutes at least three times a week…”
The “cardio burns fat” myth is so rampant, that the very support groups and forums women turn to for answers are littered with faulty advice.

From a Forum:
“We do 15 mins on the bike, 15 on the elliptical, 15 on the treadmill, 1000 metres on the rowing machine (we’re building that up slowly because we hate it).”

Who has time for this? We are Moms, we are busy, we do not have the time, energy or patience to attempt a fat loss program that is solely based on cardio. And if you “hate” something – how much longer are you going to keep up with it – especially if you are no longer seeing results?!

Cardio is only ONE piece of the Fat Loss puzzle. When it comes to Fat Loss cardio’s role is much less important than resistance training. More is simply not better. Cardio does very little to boost your metabolism and extended sessions not only eat up your precious time with little to show for it, but also eat up your lean muscle, slowing your metabolism to a crawl.

2. Moms are scared of “Bulking Up”
Just the mention of the word muscle makes a lot of women cringe. Images of huge bodybuilder-type bodies make them run in the opposite direction. Yet amidst this protest, Moms want to look lean and toned. Well without muscle, it is impossible to attain this desirable physique.

Women simply do not have the ability to bulk up. Men, however, are able to add lots of muscle because:
One - they have the hormones to do so (we do not, well not naturally)
Two - they lift weights in an entirely different fashion
Three - they must eat a tremendous amount of food - muscle need a LOT of calories to grow and get bigger.
So Moms, unless you are taking Testosterone boosting supplements, lifting VERY heavy weights and eating an upwards of 5,000 calories a day - you will NOT bulk up.

3. Moms think Resistance Training is just TOO Complicated!
“It’s so much easier.” “It is less intimidating.”  “It’s less complicated.” These are the very attitudes that lead busy moms to jump on a treadmill and walk or run for 45-60 minutes. The thought of picking up some weights seems complicated and undesirable especially when there are more “mindless” options from which to choose.

Sure, if you are new to the concept of Resistance Training, an introduction to this type of workout can make you throw your hands up in frustration…..what exercise, what weight, set, super sets, repetitions, rests….Oh My!
The best way to begin a resistance training program is to use your own body as weight. No gym membership, no fancy equipment….just a small space and a few minutes of your time.

Movements such as squats, lunges and assisted push ups are great examples of effective bodyweight exercises that any Busy Mom can do. Establishing a place to begin builds confidence, boosts energy levels and in turn increases metabolism. Moms naturally want to do more!

From there it is quite simple to keep your workouts challenging by using equipment many moms already have at home; a stability ball, dumbbells and a medicine ball.

When you have an effective resistance training workout plan, that not only fits your fitness goals, but your lifestyle, your plan becomes a priority and you achieve a lean, fit body before you know it!

Now you understand not only the importance resistance training plays in your fat loss efforts, but also how easily it can be integrated into your routine. It is time to adjust your mindset and your priorities. When you put your time, energy and effort into a resistance training regimen you guarantee yourself a faster metabolism and a toned, tight, energetic body.

Here are some of the most common questions he’s asked about sandbag training:

Q: Why don’t you sell them prefilled with sand?

A: Very simply it would absolutely kill people in shipping costs. I remember one of the major reasons people didn’t want to buy kettlebells wasn’t the fact they didn’t believe they worked, they were just way too costly in delivery!

We want sandbags to be accessible to everyone and since you can go and get a 75 pound bag of sand at most hardware stores for $3 it didn’t seem right to do to our customers.

Q: What type of sand do you recommend using?

A: Some people are worried about the sand being toxic, however, if you use standard play sand everything should be ok. It is clean and the only time you will be handling it will be when you first are loading your sandbag.

Q: Can I use other stuff to fill my sandbag?

A: Yes, of course it will change the loading approximations that I have listed on the website. Things such as pea gravel and small decorative stone are highly recommended since they have good density so the weight will be similar but can actually be cleaner.

Stephen says:
Frankly, I prefer a mixture of pea gravel and sand.

Q: My sandbag doesn’t weigh what you said on the site, what gives?

A: All the weights listed on the website are loads I have achieved using the bags myself. There are factors that may influence how much weight you get yourself.

1. The material you use to load the bag, I have found different types of sand do weigh differently.

2. How much you load the filler bags, I usually recommend leaving an inch to inch and half from the top.

Oh, my. The stuff I have to deal with.

This was the funniest part …
“You take the real researched posts that are negative…”

“Researched,” huh?

In the previous post - he sent just minutes before - he wrote, “I don’t have to do research on anything like this.”

Stemulite sales have gone from nearly zero in February to 10,000 satisfied customers a month - from mostly word of mouth from one happy user to another.

There’s still only one place to buy Stemulite. Get yours now.

Metabolic Research, Inc. announced today the introduction of a “follow-on” product to its highly successful Stemulite(TM).

The Company said it had scheduled the introduction of a companion “wellness” product for fitness and optimum health and will launch the highly complementary, all-new product to Stemulite in the coming quarter.

“This new product is so complementary to Stemulite that it makes one wonder how any present user of Stemulite would not have it over the kitchen sink or in the medicine cabinet along with Stemulite,” said Dr. David Summers, MTBR President and Chairman, “the two simply go together hand in glove!”

The Company said that the new product will “go beyond” the sleep and next morning alertness effects that thousands have reported from Stemulite(TM) and attributed to getting a good night of healthy sleep.

“We are going after the millions of hard core sleep-prescription users who cannot get to sleep without a prescription product,” said Summers, “The problem is pandemic,” he said, “people are forced into ‘doctor shopping’ for sleep drugs in order to simply function. We aim to provide a natural, non habit-forming alternative to this plaguing problem.”

The Stemulite(TM) line of Men and Women Fitness Formulas earned a small profit of $11,642 in the second quarter after launching in January, with 2nd quarter revenues of $837,743.

“Breaking even after only six months of sales is an outstanding achievement for our managers, affiliates, and retailers and they are to be highly commended,” Summers said, “and we were able to do this without incurring any external debt and keeping shareholder equity poised for significant increase in value by the end of the year.”

Decreasing your appetite naturally can be difficult, especially considering the challenge of maintaining a low-calorie diet and more frequent exercise.

Stemulite is one of the latest dietary supplements available, and contains several ingredients that can keep hunger at bay. If you’ve been struggling with appetite control and losing weight, Stemulite can help you manage your appetite and stimulate fat loss with ease.

Individuals who are able to time their food intake during the day to surpass this obstacle can manage their appetites for a short period, but there are few people who have a schedule that is able to focus around eating at separate intervals. Stemulite can help block hunger all day long, making it much easier to get on with the day without worrying about food.

Appetite suppressants have quickly become a popular choice for bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts and those looking to lose weight, but are often coupled with dangerous side effects.

Hoodia Gordonii and other appetite suppressants have recently surged in popularity, but they can lead to imbalanced blood sugar levels and extreme thirst and hunger after the effects wear off.

Stemulite, however, keeps working all day and all night to help increase healthful blood sugar levels and helps you to manage your appetite. You wont have intense cravings or hunger pains that result in binge eating.

One type of plan that millions of dieters have tried to combat hunger while dropping pounds is higher protein/lower carbohydrate menus. It’s still a challenge for some people to keep their appetite under control, while others are successful with this strategy.

Stemulite speeds up your metabolism and reduces your appetite without dieting. Consuming a balanced diet and taking supplements like Stemulite can assist in managing hunger and control your appetite long-term.

Alpha-lipoic acid and Indium are two key ingredients in Stemulite that help to regulate your appetite. 

Indium is a rare trace mineral that helps keep hormones balanced and reduces hunger signals throughout the day. Indium assists in maintaining normal leptin levels, resulting in a decrease in feelings of hunger.

Alpha lipoic acid is considered to be an ‘anti-obesity’ nutrient that affects the hypothalamus. Such a plan makes you feel more energetic while speeding up your metabolism and decreasing your feeling of hunger.

Stemulite contains a multitude of hunger-blocking ingredients that allow your body to start the weight loss process without interference from hunger pangs, fatigue, and stress.

If you’ve been looking for a simple way to get your appetite under control, Stemulite may be the missing link in your nutrition and supplementation program.

Come join the thousands who have already discovered how Dr. Summers’ Fitness Formula for Men and Define Fitness Formula for Women lead to better, healthier, leaner and more attractive bodies.

You don’t need to do crunches.

In fact, most of my clients NEVER do crunches.

You can get the abs you’ve always wanted without the pain (literally) of doing crunches. Read this from Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training fame.

Never Do Crunches Again

If you want to have a flat stomach or 6-pack abs, you never have to do another crunch or sit-up ever again.

In fact, the truth about abdominal crunches is that they are useless, ineffective, and even damaging to your spine. The latter fact is covered in great detail by Dr. Stuart McGill in his book, “Ultimate Low Back Fitness & Performance”. His research will shock you (and the scare the bejesus out of you) if you are one of those gym-rats who spends 30 minutes on abdominal crunching type movements.

I found out crunches are useless the hard way, spending ten minutes per day on crunches back in my 3rd year of University, but to no avail. They didn’t do anything for my abs.

That year I stumbled across interval training and total body abdominal exercises. Finally, it was these training secrets that helped me change my torso from regular fit college-aged male into cover-model six-pack abs worthy.

We’ve talked about interval training beforeso let’s focus on the total body abdominal exercises to help you build a better looking torso without doing so at the expense of your low back health.

For beginners, the 3 exercises you must master are called, “The Plank”, “The Side Plank”, and “The Bird Dog”. Now I’ll be honest, these aren’t the most exciting moves in the world, but they will put you on the track to flatter abs and a healthier low back.

For intermediate fitness and strength, you can graduate to exercises such as Mountain Climbers, Plank with your Forearms on the Ball, and Stability Ball Jackknives. There are also at least a half-dozen advanced pushup exercises
that will work your abs as well as crunches ever could!

Finally, if you are advanced, some of my favorite abdominal exercises include, Cross-Body Mountain Climbers, Chin-ups with Knee-Ups, and Stability Ball Rollouts.

Here’s to the new era of CRUNCH-FREE abdominal workouts.

Don’t miss out. You can buy Stemulite here.

Interviewer:
I, like so many others, are very careful about what they put in their bodies. They want to put all natural substances, no synthetics, and I understand that Stemulite is made from all natural products. Can you tell me a little bit about that?

Dr. Summers:
There are no synthetics in Stemulite. Everything in Stemulite is considered by the FDA to be either a food source or a dietary supplement and considered safe.

Interviewer:
How much Stemulite would you have to take to overdose and what negative side effects would you contribute to Stemulite?

Dr. Summers:
That’s like asking how much watermelon could you eat to overdose. There’s nothing that you could overdose. Nothing that would cause an overdose effect. You just probably couldn’t take anymore. No negative side effects. There are positive side effects. There’s that feeling of euphoria sometimes or well being that you get from having your body tuned up, in good shape. Getting a lot of oxygen to your brain cells. Being sharp. But no, there’s no negative side effects at all.

Interviewer:
So you’ve created an all-natural supplement that causes your body to perform at it’s optimal performance?

Dr. Summers:
That’s correct. Stemulite is all-natural and will bring the body into optimal performance and with daily use or routine use the body will stay there.

Q from Odracir:
I just want to know if this product has a side effect with my HIV meds, I work out 4 times a week and I just don’t see much results, I’m a tall guy and I know that it’s hard to build muscle when you have long legs and also long arms, but I see a lot of guys taller then me and they got very nice toned muscles all over i just feel frustrated some times.
Thx.

from Dr. Summers, co-inventor of Stemulite:
Due to its powerful anti oxidant effect, Stemulite can be quite beneficial to HIV patients.  I would have to check each medication to answer specifically as to interactions with HIV meds. Since every component in Stemulite is “generally regarded as safe” or GRAS by the FDA, I don’t think it would interfere with any HIV meds.  Check with your caregiver to be sure.

Stemulite and Sleep Apnea

Q from Anne:
I am thinking about trying stemulite but have one concern. I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, which requires the use of a CPAP machine while I sleep. Will Stemulite cause any problems with my sleep patterns? Have any studies been conducted with people affected with sleep apnea? Please let me know what information, if any, you have regarding this. Thank You!

Dr. Summers:
No studies have been conducted with people affected with sleep apnea. However, if using a CPAP machine any potential apnea should not be of concern.

Stemulite and MS

Q from Ryan:
I just heard about Stemulite for the first time today. I wonder if there have been any studies or anecdotal results from its use by Multiple Sclerosis patients? Does anyone know if its muscle rebuilding properties apply to nerve / myelin regeneration? Thank you.

Dr. Summers:
There are some good data on alpha lipoic acid combined with acetyl L-carnitine in ameliorating the effects of MS. There is also an added potential benefit that the stem cell agonist in Stemulite might recruit new stem cells to differential into myelin cells replacing damaged cells and repairing exposed neural circuits.

Could you tell me if this has any effects on your prostate?

The answer straight from Dr. Summers:

Stemulite could have beneficial effect on the prostate in two ways:

(1) Because Stemulite contains 600 mg/day of alpha lipoic acid and 50 mg/day quercetin you have perhaps the strongest antioxidant effect you can get in a pill. Anti oxidants are powerful down regulators to inflammation. An enlarged prostate is usually inflamed.

(2) Stemulite contains a potent enzyme that breaks down congestion (enlarged prostate = congested prostate) and removes the static fluids via the circulation and lymph systems.

Additionally, Stemulite contains eggplant extract which has high levels of beta carotene, and the mushroom extract contains high levels of beta glucan, both known to benefit prostatitis.

Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up.

After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others.

British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren’t previously exercising.

(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).

Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks. That’s a lot of exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, which is great - I was positively surprised by the results.

So cardio will work for some people, however, in my experience, it works best in young men, who need the help the least!

Back to the study, the variance in fat loss between individuals was huge. Check this out…

The best subject lost a staggering 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, while the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74 pounds.

The scientists think they know where things went sour. They classified the subjects into 2 groups, called the “Compensators” and the “Non-compensators”.

The Compensators were hungrier, and as a result consumed an extra 268 calories per day, all but wiping out their cardio efforts.

Therefore, the Compensators lost the least amount of weight, and scientists believe that was due to the huge “compensatory” increase in appetite experienced by this group.

Does your appetite increase when you do slow cardio? If it does, research shows it will ruin your cardio efforts.

So if your cardio program is not working for you, check your appetite and calorie intake to see if you are “compensating” for your efforts.

If you are, you might be better off using a program of high-intensity resistance and interval training (i.e. Turbulence Training) for your weight loss efforts.

As Australian Professor Steve Boucher has shown in research, interval training increases hormones called catecholamines.

And increased catecholamines can reduce appetite, among other fat-burning benefits.

In the real world, few people lose 33 pounds after 12 weeks of cardio. Heck, few even achieve an average weight loss of 8 pounds with aerobic exercise.

So again, check your appetite, and consider giving high-intensity exercise a go for your next workout program.

Beat the curse of cardio with high-intensity Turbulence Training.

Interviewer:
Dr. Shorr, I’m going to ask you to elaborate on the effects of the Alpha Lipoic Acid that is used in Stemulite. You being the co-inventor on this product I think your background in that particular aspect would be beneficial for our viewers.

Dr. Shorr:
Sure. Let me tell you about Lipoic Acid. All human cells, all mammalian cells, have a portion of their structure which is called the mitochondria. In a sense this is the Con-Edison of the cell, where energy is produced, ultimately extracted to the limit from glucose.

In many disease states and in order to maintain health Lipoic Acid is either lacking or is present but in insufficient amounts and unable to get to where it needs to go.

The Lipoic Acid molecule itself is somewhat controversial as to whether the body has the ability to make it or whether it’s an essential nutrient.

The majority opinion is that it’s actually an essential nutrient. Without it, mitochondrial function, the ability to produce energy and the function of the mitochondria begins to become compromised and either there will be a lack of the full benefit of the health that a person might be able to achieve or a disease can actually occur.

Lipoic Acid activity is predominantly linked to its ability to serve as an antioxidant. We’ve all heard about Vitamin E and we’ve heard about various other types of antioxidants and their benefits.

Lipoic Acid is a much stronger antioxidant than any of these and is actually very specifically required in the mitochondria of every healthy human cell. Where it has found to be of benefit is in maintaining and establishing a healthy state for the cells but also even in treating such diseases as diabetes and neuropathies that are associated with it as well as other forms of diseases including some types of cancer.

The way the molecule works is by actually becoming a cofactor to an enzyme in the mitochondria and allowing the maximum extraction of energy from the food that we consume. Very often it’s missing in our diets and not only is it missing in our diets but not every individual is capable of absorbing what is in their diet to the same degree.

If you believe that cancer is genetic and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it, take a look at the latest study from Dr. Dean Ornish. 

He reports that after just three months of a healthful diet and exercise, the genes associated with prostate cancer changed toward normal (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, June 17, 2008; http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/105/24/8369).

The study involved 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who had chosen not to undergo treatment unless their cancer got worse. 

The men followed a plant-based diet that avoided meat, saturated fat, and processed or refined foods; walked at least 30 minutes six days a week and at least an hour three days a week; and participated in a weekly support group.  Each day they also did an hour of simple yoga-based techniques including stretching, breathing, meditation and imagery.

After just three months on Dr. Ornish’s regimen, more than 500 genes associated with prostate cancer reverted toward normal.  Cancer genes promote cell growth in a disorderly fashion.

The researchers at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) showed that in these men, tumor-suppressing genes became more active and some of the cancer-causing genes switched off.

Many previous studies have shown that most cancers are caused by factors in the environment.  Some people are genetically more susceptible to these factors.

However, if they avoid the factors, they have an excellent chance of not suffering the cancers.  We know that prostate cancer is more common in men who are overweight, diabetic, eat a lot of fat and meat, and/or do not exercise.

A leading theory is that each type of cancer is caused by many factors and the more of these susceptibility factors that involve you, the more likely you are to develop that specific cancer. 

For example, a woman cannot develop cervical cancer unless she is infected with the HPV virus. But more than 50 percent of American women are infected with this virus and fewer than one in 250 of those develop cervical cancer, so other factors must be involved. 

A woman with HPV who smokes has almost 20 times the chance of developing cervical cancer as one who has HPV and does not smoke. Other co-factors remain to be found.

Stemulite will help relieve pain associated with the break down of tissues caused by the release of protein that leads to inflammation.

Each time we go through a routine of exercise there is breakdown of tissue and release of some proteins into the blood that they themselves will act as signal molecules for other events to occur.

And some of the pain that’s associated with exercise involves the release of these types of products which go on to stimulate a pain receptor response or in some cases, in extreme cases, even inflammation.

The ingredients in Stemulite look to minimize these types of effects by allowing these proteins to be broken down much more rapidly than they otherwise would be, therefore limiting the types of signals that would be associated with pain or inflammation.

Phone Interview with Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, MD, PhD, inventor of The Doctor’s Chocolate and David Summers, inventor of Stemulite

Female Speaker: Excuse me, is there any sugar in the products?

Dr. Scott-Mumby: Well, I’ll go first. There is a tiny trace. The main truffle center, as we’ve been explaining, is formulated with xylitol and that’s a non-sugar sweetener, it’s actually sugar alcohol, but it’s got 40% less calories than sugar and as you heard me say it’s diabetic safe. It doesn’t really behave like a sugar. It doesn’t trigger the sugar problems.

But the whole chocolate is coated in a delicious enrobing chocolate made by a Swiss firm called Calibo, Barry Calibo. It’s very thin, it’s only about a millimeter thick and it’s kind of a delicious part of the formula.

It does have a trace of regular sweetener in that but the amount is so tiny, I mean you’re talking a quarter of a percent if anything. Not to worry about it. But yes, technically speaking there is a trace of dextrose.

Female Speaker: Thank you. A trace is good enough.

Facilitator: A trace, yeah.

Dr. Scott-Mumby: You’re off the hook!

Facilitator: Dr. Summers, you want to follow up with that? I don’t think there’s any sugar in Stemulite.

Dr. Summers: Well there’s no sugar in Stemulite. The Beta Glucan is a polysaccharide, a sugar protein complex, but it’s not the type of sugar that we generally think of. It’s a polysaccharide and it binds on the protein and that’s what stimulates the immune system.
