Gingko biloba is widely advertised as a memory enhancer. It is the main or at times the only ingredient in pills and other nostrums claimed to be a memory enhancer. Is there any evidence at all that ginko enhances memory?
No! Several excellent controlled studies found that gingko had absolutely no effect on memory, learning, attention, concentration or verbal fluency in older people.
The take home message is save your money and be wary about claims made by supplements that are not backed up with controlled studies that document the efficacy of the substance.

Nuts to You!
Did you know that you can lower your blood cholesterol by eating nuts?
Well you can. It has been shown that in people with a high cholesterol eating one ounce of almonds a day lowered their bad cholesterol (LDL) by an average of 4%. If they ate 2 ounces a day they lowered it by 9%. At the same time their good cholesterol (HDL) rose a little. Many other nuts are also rich in cholesterol lowering unsaturated fatty acids.
Remember this. Nuts are high in calories. If you do not want to gain weight while lowering your cholesterol eat the nuts instead of other snack foods. This will also help you get your ration of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids into a healthier zone.
Look at our book TriEnergetics for more good eating tips.

Sex the Natural Way
Has your sex life turned south? Is the flame of desire burning lower? Are you looking for the secret to having the best and most rewarding sex of your life, get more endurance and .find greater satisfaction?
The answer is obvious.
Do what every red blooded American does and find the magic pill that will make everything about your sex life better. Why not take the purple pill that is advertised on television. Go ahead and take it. Sit there while your face flushes, your hands twitch and your vision blurs.
If the thought of these possible side effects turn you off look in the paper. There frequently is an ad in the sporting pages that guarantees satisfaction or you get your money back. The most recent ad that I saw stated that when you take one of the pills you will be fortified and raring to go. It doesn’t matter if you are fat or skinny, male or female, old or young. What a joke.
Let me tell you the truth. If you are reasonably healthy and do not have a disease with neurological complications you do not need these “sex aids." If your sex life is less than fulfilling look at yourself. Honestly look at yourself. How is your health? What is your energy level? Are you brimming with what we call dynamic energy? How much stress is there in your life and how are you dealing with it? Stress is a killer. It can kill you and certainly can kill your sex life.
I have a better idea and it is a natural solution. The answer is our revolutionary TriEnergetics program. Here is a quote from the preface of our book TriEnergetics. “Take a long hard look at your life. If you don’t look as good as you would like to look, feel as good as you would like to feel, or have the energy and enthusiasm for life that you really want to have, this book is for you. If you have tried to diet and regained the weight, started an exercise program and failed, been unsuccessful in curbing your stress, or attempted to take control of your life only to watch that control slip away, this book is for you. In fact this book offers everyone the opportunity to jump-start their lives with better health, every, and vitality by following our revolutionary lifestyle plan-the TriEnergetics program."
This is our advice in a nutshell. Forget the aphrodisiac pills and generate the enthusiasm from within. You will feel better, look better, probably live longer and have better sex. All of the information you need is in the book. Best of all after you read the book start the TriEnergetics program. It will guide you in easy steps to a new level of energy and excitement.
Your life will improve and the sex will take care of itself. Best of all it will be natural. I guarantee you will be happier.

Don't Drink the Water
Are you one of the millions of Americans who have consumed over eight billion gallons of bottled water last year?
If you are, please consider these reasons for changing to good old tap water. First of all more than 25% of bottled water comes from a municipal supply. That is right. Some company is taking tap water that is possibly run through a filter and then sold to us consumers at a thousandfold increase in price. Not bad! You spend more for a gallon of the stuff than you would for a gallon of gasoline.
Furthermore the bottled water may not be as pure as you expect. The FDA oversees bottled water, but their standards do not apply water packaged and sold within the same state. Secondly most bottled water comes in polyethylene terephthalate bottles indicated by a number PET or PETE on the bottle's bottom. When stored in hot or warm temperatures the plastic may leach toxic chemicals into the water. Leaving bottled water sitting in a hot car is even more dangerous because the heat speeds up the process. The same risk applies if you refill a bottle with tap water and leave it in your car.
Bottled water also affects the environment. Virgin petroleum is used to make PET. The more bottles we use the more petroleum is needed. This is a waste of fossil fuels. My recommendation is to drink tap water whenever possible. If you are going out or traveling carry it in a reusable stainless steel or lined drinking container. If you must have bottled water look for brands that have NSF certification and keep the bottles cool.
Think before you drink.
