This extraordinary event is a test of endurance, strength and stamina. Competitors have five events in a 12 hour day to look forward to. Competition starts with shooting 20 shots from a .177 air pistol over a 10 meter range. This isfollowed by Epee fencing with every other person in the competition, aiming for any area of the body, from mask to foot, in one minute. Then it's into the pool for a 200 meter freestyle competition, followed by a round of show jumping on an unknown horse over four-foot fences. The grand finale is a 3,000 meter run

This is obviously not a competition for the fainthearted.

Steph's fencing coach, Olympic fencer, John Llewellyn, is a New Spirit Executive Director. On his recommendation, Steph has been taking one heaping teaspoon of Green Magic™ in a glass of water morning and night. The results have been impressive.

"Since I have been taking Green Magic™ and VitaBalance 2000, I have noticed that my recovery after training has been much improved. This means that I can manage the intensity of the training every day."

As well as being an Olympic Champion, Steph is a qualified medical doctor. She completed her preclinical training at Cambridge University and post graduate training at Oxford University. Following this, she went on to do vascular surgical research at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.

On a recent trip to visit New Spirit's England office, Dr. Milam met with Stephanie to wish her well on her quest for Olympic Gold and answer her many questions about New Spirit products.

Stephanie says: "I like the fact that the formula has been developed by doctors and that you know what has gone into the product. The ingredients are 100% natural. This is crucial for anybody, but particularly for athletes."

President's Club Members receive a beautiful gold President's Club Pin commemorating their achievement. Precious stones are added for those who repeat this achievement: an emerald for repeating President's Club Members, or a diamond for those achieving the President's Council (top five Distributors).

SPIRULINA
Anthropologists believe spirulina to be the oldest living plant on Earth. This spinal shaped plant algae was originally discovered in the lakes and waterways in Africa and South and Central America where it still grows. History tells us that during the 15th and 16th centuries, the Aztec Indians of Mexico mixed spirulina with cornmeal to make green pancakes - a staple of their diet.

Now New Spirit Naturals chooses a Superior Strain of Spirulina from the big Island of Hawaii, where it is organically cultivated in a special ocean energy park. Our Hawaiian Spirulina is loaded with digestive enzymes, essential fatty acids (EFA's), gamma linolenic acid (GLA), carotenoids and the richest plant source of Vitamin B12. Its protein content averages over 60%, approximately four times the protein of beef, and it is almost 95% digestible protein without the fat and cholesterol of beef. It is the richest whole food source of beta carotene in the world.

How much is enough? Up to 10 grams per day is a healthy dose. Spirulina is a "Must Have" nutritional superfood.

CHLORELLA
" Chlo-rella" means "little green" single-celled algae. It contains the most abundant source of chlorophyll on the planet, unleashing over 170-300 milligrams per 3.5 oz serving.

Chlorella is 50 to 60% protein and contains all eight essential amino acids, plus vitamins, minerals, fiber and the nucleic acids DNA and RNA.

A study was published in the journal Artery (1987) illustrating that Chlorella lowered cholesterol due to its high omega III fatty acid content. It also functions as a powerful chelating agent, aggressively binding toxic substances and skillfully escorting them out of the body.

Another benefit is Chlorella growth factor (CGF), unique only to Chlorella, which strengthens the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells like NK (natural killer) cells that destroy a wide range of unfriendly bacteria and viruses. For maintaining good health, 2 to 3 grams per day are recommended.

WHEAT, BARLEY and KAMUT GRASS JUICES
(Often called "Cereal Grass Juices")
Cereal grasses are bursting with chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, fiber, EFA's, phytonutrients and hundreds of natural enzymes not found in other foods. Cereal grasses support the growth of probiotics (friendly flora) in the digestive tract, stimulating immune system activity, promoting healthy digestive function, speeding wound healing and protecting against the damaging effects of therapeutic and environment radiation. Barley grass contains two special proteins, P4-D1 and D1-G1, that are powerful anti-inflammatories. Wheat grass juice contains "growth stimulating factors" that have revived test animals from the brink of death.

NATURAL KELP and DULSE
Sea vegetables are abundant in chlorophyll, EFA's and natural potassium. They are tasty, healthy additives to any meal. They are easy to digest and have a high protein content. Green Magic™ contains natural kelp and dulse. These two sea vegetables contain over 28% natural minerals from ocean water.

Note: Fish are called brain food because they are a rich source of DHA, which, in turn, comes from their diet of DHA rich algae.

Full Spectrum Nutrition Completes the Recipe...
Green Magic™ provides important wholefoods to improve digestion and assimilation and protect cellular tissue

LECITHIN
Lecithin is the most bioavailable source of choline, an essential nutrient involved in human metabolism. The brain, heart, liver and kidney have high concentrations of phosphatidylcholine. Reported benefits from supplementing your diet with lecithin include:

• Reducing the chance of liver degeneration.
• Preventing cholesterol and other fats from accumulating on artery walls. Lecithin is also believed to participate in the metabolism of homocysteine to further reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Preventing long term memory loss.
• Enhancing endurance. Lecithin supplements prevent decline of choline levels in plasma during intense physical activity.

Lecithin is described as the body's emulsifier. It is thought to aid in the absorption of Vitamins A and D in the intestinal tract. It also influences the utilization of other fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins E and K.

New Spirit's premium de-oiled lecithin contains over 98% phosphatides to provide the full value of this important wholefood.

Fiber to Enhance Digestion...
RICE KERNEL MEMBRANE POWDER
Great source of fiber that can bind cholesterol plus one more source of natural vitamins, most notably thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin E and important minerals including iron, potassium, silicone, magnesium, calcium and zinc.

HIGH PECTIN APPLE FIBER
Chosen for its fiber, which binds cholesterol and improves glucose tolerance, and its pectin, which enhances the body's absorption of minerals. Pectin also slows gastric-emptying time, allowing the body to more effectively absorb nutrients.

For Energy and Endurance...
ROYAL JELLY
Royal Jelly, the exclusive food of the queen bee has traditionally been used as a rejuvenating tonic and for improving stamina. It is a rich source of antioxidants and contains valuable enzymes, 9 B vitamins and 22 amino acids.

The Key to Cellular Energy...
COENZYME Q10
CoQ10 is a coenzyme that occurs naturally in every cell
of the body.

It is a vital part of the biochemical pathway from which ATP, your cells energy, is derived. (See chart below.)

Research has identified some extraordinary benefits of adding CoQ10 supplements to the diet.

Heart Health
Clinical studies have observed improvement and significant increase in life extension for patients suffering from a variety of heart problems, including angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, hyperthyroid heart failure and mitral valve prolapse.

Weight Loss
CoQ10 stimulates the mitochondria, increasing the fatburning process. Dr. Lu C Van Gaal and associates studied two groups of obese individuals on a controlled reducing diet. One group was given daily doses of 100 mg. coenzyme Q10. Within nine weeks, the group on coenzyme Q10 lost an average of 30 pounds, compared with an average of 13 pounds for the other group.

Periodontal Health
Dr. Edward C. Wilkinson, periodontal specialist and dental researcher, found that diseased dental tissue exhibited a remarkable deficiency in coenzyme Q10. In all cases, Dr. Wilkinson and his team were able to reverse gum conditions that were threatening the life of the teeth.

Immune Function
Immunity demands a constant supply of first grade energy.

In a number of human studies, patients with various diseases, including diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular problems were administered coenzyme Q10. Within three to twelve weeks, significant increases in the level of immunoglobulin G were found in the serum of these patients. This increase would signify either a correction of the immunodeficiency or an increase in immunocompetence.

For Digestion...
LACTOBACILLUS
ACIDOPHILUS/BIFIDUS PROBIOTIC
Researchers have discovered that millions of microorganisms are busy at work in the intestines. These unique microorganisms, referred to as probiotics, simultaneously and synergistically assist in the metabolism of partially digested food and control the growth of pathogenic organisms like streptococci, lostridin, chloroform, candida and bacteroids. These microorganisms may also play a role in preventing or reducing the effects of an infection caused by an invading pathogenic organism. The most common probiotics include various strains of lactobacillus and bifidus.

Day-to-day living conditions such as stress, use of antibiotics and/or medicines, improper food and rest, the onset of disease, and a polluted environment often result in the reduction of the beneficial bacteria in the gut.

L. Acidophilus
(The primary healthy microorganism in the upper small intestines)
Benefits

• Inhibits the growth of pathogenic flora, bacteria, and yeasts such as candida by producing lactic acid and several nontoxic naturally-occurring antibiotics.
• Lowers intestinal pH, which results in a corresponding lowering of harmful oxidation reduction processes.
• As competitive antagonists, competes with other bacteria for attachment sites. This limits the opportunities for non-friendly microorganisms to gain a foothold.
• Assists in the production of enzyme groups such as proteases and lipases, which help digest proteins and fats respectively.
• Produces significant quantities of lactase enzymes, which helps in the alleviation of lactose intolerance caused by a deficiency of these enzymes. This reduces the possibility of bad breath, bloating, acid indigestion and stomach cramps.
• Assists in the production of B vitamins, particularly folic acid, which are biocatalysts in food digestion.
• Helps enhance calcium metabolism.
• Helps reduce serum cholesterol levels.
• By virtue of inhibiting gastrointestinal and uro-pathogens, may reduce the occurrence of diarrhea and urinary and vaginal infections.

B. Bifidum
(Dominant in the lower small intestines and the human vagina)
Benefits

• Creates acetic acid and works synergistically with L. Acidophilus (which creates lactic acid) to encourage the growth of other beneficial probiotics and reduce the numbers of bad bacteria.
• Helps decompose, and possibly suppress the production of, nitrosamines (cancer causing substances) in the intestines.
• Promotes proper bacteria balances and prohibits harmful bacteria from adhering to the lining of the intestines and creates macrophages.
• Produces several of the B Vitamins.
• Helps lower serum cholesterol.
• Has an inhibitory effect on many pathogenic organisms, including salmonella, shigella, clostridium, bacillus cereus, staphylococcus aurous, candida albicans and campylobacter jejuni.
  

High quality Jerusalem artichokes are selected and specially processed to preserve the long chain polymers known as fructooligosaccharides (FOS).

In Japan, FOS has been successfully marketed because it has been shown to reduce constipation, blood pressure, blood lipids and cholesterol in humans. Studies also indicate positive effects of fructooligosaccharides on blood glucose and serum lipids in diabetic subjects.

New Spirit's Jerusalem Artichoke Flour provides a rich source of FOS.

Modern Science has developed an impressive body of research showing the connection between diet and the development of a healthy baby. Just as important, there is a strong connection between what a mother eats and how her personal health is effected by her pregnancy.

• A Folic Acid deficiency has long been connected with neural tube birth defects and, more recently, with Down's Syndrome.
• IQ can be positively affected and childhood behavioral problems averted with generous amounts of Essential Fatty Acids, antioxidants and essential minerals.
• L. tryptophan, an amino acid, plays a critical role in the development of the brain, converting to niacin and then to serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with lowering hyperactivity, enhancing sleep and improving mood and cognitive performance.
• Some research studies have connected exceptionally high IQ with these same important nutrients.
  Just as adult eyes require vitamin A, eye development in the fetus cannot be denied this important nutrient.
• A magnesium deficiency can not only lead to blood pressure problems (and constipation!) for mom, it can set the stage for Type II childhood diabetes.
• Without adequate amounts of Zinc, cell division and replication cannot take place.
• Vitamin B6 is recommended for treatment of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
• Postpartum depression has been linked with low levels of Zinc and Magnesium.
• Low Selenium levels in the newborn have been linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

When you think about the myriad of functions involved in the extraordinary creative process of conception to birth, it is easy to see that Super Baby's need a wide array of Superfoods!

• Low in calories, rich in nutrition with 95% digestible protein, the building blocks of cells.
• Contains all eight essential Amino Acids, a full complex of natural minerals, trace minerals and enzymes.
• The perfect source of natural iron.
• Rich in Essential Fatty Acids for brain development.
• Richest natural source of beta carotene - for eyes and skin.
• Rich source of B Vitamins, including Vitamin B12 - for an even temperament, development of natural probiotics and natural immunity.
• Rich in natural calcium for strong bones and teeth and a healthy immune system.
• Rich source of natural, absorbable iron - a key nutrient during pregnancy.
• Contains lecithin, the most bioavailable source of choline. Choline has been shown to enhance brain and mental development and is so important that the FDA requires a minimum of 7 mg choline per 100 kcal in infant formulas.
  

• A full spectrum of anti-stress B Vitamins to quickly and naturally elevate the mood and restore energy. B Vitamins will also act as a natural diuretic, protecting the important sodium/potassium balance in the body.
• A complete source of trace minerals noticeably improves cognitive function. (a clearer mind). Trace Minerals are colloidalized as soon as they enter the stomach.
• Essential Minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Manganese & Zinc, while comprising only 5% of the body, control the metabolism and behavior of the body's remaining 95% elements. These minerals, in addition to their immune building functions, can give fast relief from aching muscles, again leaving you more energy and vitality at the end of the day.
• Powerful antioxidants unleash the body's repair mechanisms, while they increase the body's oxygen utilization - another factor that builds reserve energy stores for the end of your busy day.
• Over 20 fresh herbs provide a direct benefit to the body, assisting with digestion, assimilation and elimination.
• Focused on enhancing oxygen absorption - critical for healthy tissue development.
  
  
  

• Complete wholefood source of amino acids - all 16! Amino acids are the building blocks of protein - the foundation of life itself. If just one of the Essential Amino Acids is absent or inadequately supplied, protein synthesis is not possible. Protein requirements are never greater than during pregnancy and affect the development of hormones, enzymes, the formation and maintenance of blood and healthy brain function.
• Whey based, with cystine levels clinically proven to boost immune function.
• Low calories, rich nutrition.
  
  

* Note: Pregnancy warning mandated by the FDA calls attention to the low caloric content of Meal in a Glass™ . Pregnant and lactating mothers require increased calories that must be added to this nutritional supplement.

• Complete complex to assist digestion, insuring that nutrients can be utilized by both mom and baby.
  Power Plant Enzymes™ assist in digesting fats, carbohydrates, protein and sugars, including lactose.
• Key to avoiding allergies, for both mother and fetus, compensating for modern food preparation that leaves meals deficient in digestive enzymes.

The mental apparatus of the coming generation is developed in [the womb] and the time to begin supplementation is before conception. A normal brain cannot be made without an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids, and there may be no later opportunity to repair the effects of an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency once the nervous system is formed."
William E. Connor, Oregon Health Sciences Center

• Pregnant women who eat fish rich in omega-3 (or supplement their diet with omega-3 fatty acids) give birth to more fully developed babies who are less apt to be born premature or have low birth weight. This means they are born with more mature, highly developed brains.
  

  Experts say pregnant - and lactating - women should be sure to get at least 300 milligrams per day of DHA. (3 capsules of New Life 1000)

  Omega-3 has two principle components, DHA & EPA: DHA (part of the omega-3 fish oils) is referred to as the king of the brain fats.

• It is the most powerful player in brain chemistry, constituting fully one-half of all fat in the brain cell membranes.
• It directly influences the cerebral cortex (the brain's "thinking center") and the mitochondria (the cells internal energy factories).
• It increases supplies of acetylcholine (the memory chemical).
• It plays a critical role in the photoreceptors of the retina of the eye.
  

EPA, a second component of Omega-3 fish oils, is also critical to a healthy brain. Research indicates that the lack of EPA can bring on mental disorders.

Free radicals are molecules that carry an unmatched electron with a strong impulse to attract another electron from a neighboring molecule. By snatching an electron, it can set off a chain reaction that wreaks widespread havoc, weakening or destroying cells, eating away at their membranes and damaging their genetic material (DNA).

These free radical molecules, which crop up with every breath we take, are especially prevalent when the metabolism is burning hot, supporting new life.

It is estimated that the DNA of a single cell takes about 10,000 free radical hits per day. The brain, both in the fetus and the mother, generates more free radicals than other bodily tissue because it uses so much oxygen and it is the fattiest organ in the body.

Scientists now have good evidence that piling in antioxidants builds an invisible biological armor that helps deflect attacks on cells, protecting DNA.

Recent studies have shown that Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (naturally derived from grapes) are 50 times stronger in their ability to fight free radicals than Vitamin E or Selenium and 20 times stronger than regular Vitamin C.

Using Vitamin E, Selenium, Beta Carotene and Vitamin C in combination with Mega-Pro™ provides the best protection possible to maintain the integrity of the cells' blueprint (DNA).

• Source of fiber plus cleansing herbs.
• Keeps cholesterol down.

Just 1 teaspoon of NutriCleanse™ twice daily, or equivalent capsules, plus adequate water can not only eliminate the discomfort of constipation, but assist the body in warding off well known gestational conditions such as hemorrhoids, diabetes and/or high blood pressure. Fiber plays an important role and psyllium in NutriCleanse™ is perhaps the most valuable of available fibers. It literally acts as "colons broom", sweeping the sides of the colon clean as its soothing fiber softens the stool, binds cholesterol and helps stabilize blood sugar.

In addition to the Wellness Pack, additional nutrients are recommended during pregnancy. These are the PLUS that will give both mother and child the nutritional advantage.

Calcium, interacting with DHA and Zinc, regulates the speed, intensity and clarity of every message that passes between brain cells.

Supplementing with Magnesium, an important component of New Spirit's Calcium Complex, helps prevent depression, dizziness, muscle weakness, twitching, heart disease and high blood pressure, and also aids in maintaining the proper pH balance. Magnesium protects the arterial lining from stress caused by sudden blood pressure changes, and plays a role in the formation of bones and in carbohydrate and mineral metabolism. For mother, Magnesium needs increase during pregnancy from 300 mg. to 400 mg. per day. A deficiency during pregnancy is linked to pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery and fetal growth retardation.

Calcium Complex also contains zinc, an important mineral for the growth of reproductive organs. It is required for protein synthesis and collagen formation and promotes a healthy immune system. Zinc also allows acuity of taste and smell and protects the liver from chemical damage. Zinc is concentrated in brain membranes where it acts like an antioxidant to protect DHA, AA and the phospholipids from free-radical attack.

Vitamin C supplementation appears indicated to prevent at least two complications of pregnancy - pre-eclampsia and premature rupture of membranes.
(Michael T. Murray, N.D. Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements, 1996)

• The brain contains more Vitamin C than any other body organ, with the exception of the adrenal glands.
• It is necessary to the body's manufacture of norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin, three important neurotransmitters that are linked to baby's social patterns.
• It is also required if the body is to utilize folic acid, another vitamin needed for normal development of the central nervous system.
• It protects the brain from free-radical damage.
• Enhanced by proanthocyanidins, Vitamin C strengthens the walls of arteries, veins and capillaries, including brain microcapillaries.
• It has long history in boosting brain power. Pioneering studies have linked baby's elevated IQ with mother's use of vitamin C supplements.
  
  
  

Another key antioxidant in your nutritional arsenal!

• Neutralizes free radicals.
• Regulates message transmission within cells as well as between cells.
• Reduces clogging of blood vessels that are the conduits of life for brain cells by delivering oxygen.
• Promotes vascular flexibility.
  
  
  

Choose olive oils and possibly canola oil as healthful substitutes. Add flax seed oil to your diet. (Store in refrigerator).

Artificial sweeteners containing saccharine, cyclamates or aspartamine
All disturb physiology in some people and are suspect in causing headaches, menstrual dysfunction and having toxic effects on the nervous system.

These popular drinks carry double jeopardy for the health of mother and child.
1. They contain high sugar and/or artificial sweeteners and artificial coloring.
2. Many contain phosphoric acid which competes with the body's receptor sites for calcium, thus inhibiting the absorption of this critical mineral.

The pregnancy was a challenge requiring months of bedrest, but with lots of patience, help from her doctors and some extraordinary nutritional intervention, a healthy, though premature, baby boy was born. Mom is now continuing his nutritional program with her rich breast milk and, as his picture shows, he is doing great!

Green Magic™ baby, Kaleb, is dressed for Halloween with his three older sisters. He was born premature with a genetic heart condition. The parents were told he would require surgery. Amazingly, the body corrected itself and Kaleb enjoys robust health! Every New Spirit distributor knows Pam Leddy, the proud grandma. Pam has given you extraordinary service for the last 9 years.
