A Proactive Approach To Health And Wellness

Our role at Focus On Health NOW is to help our customers restore and maintain their health by providing information and reliable resources to make people aware of products and protocols that we’ve learned about by reading books and articles, watching documentaries, related videos, and by using those products and protocols ourselves to experience a “first-hand feel” for their effectiveness. We specialize in providing natural products and protocols to promote a proactive approach to health and wellness to last a lifetime and to pass those lifestyle choices on to their family, friends, and neighbors.
 
We believe it is much easier, more effective, and typically far less expensive to prevent illness or diseases as compared to the suffering and expense of having to deal with them from a reactive position. Further, we recognize that humans are self-healing beings provided the right “ingredients” are made available to them. As an example, we believe that every time you consume food or beverages, you are either feeding or fighting illness or disease.
 
One constant in our efforts is to recognize the significance and long-term value of creating balance and harmony in all aspects of the human body.
We begin our journey by focusing on the importance of the immune system. The immune system protects your body from outside invaders such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins. It’s made up of different organs, cells, and proteins that work together.
There are two main parts of the immune system that work together:
  • The innate immune system
  • The adaptive immune system

The innate immune system

This is your rapid response system. It acts to “patrol” your body and is the first to respond to invaders. The innate immune system is inherited and is active from the moment you are born. When this system recognizes an invader, it goes into action immediately. The cells of this immune system surround and engulf the invader. The invader is killed inside the immune system cells. These type of cells are called phagocytes.

The acquired immune system

The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, produces cells (antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader. These antibodies are developed by cells called B lymphocytes after the body has been exposed to the invader. The antibodies stay in your body. It can take several days for antibodies to develop. But after the first exposure, the immune system will recognize the invader and defend against it. The acquired immune system changes throughout your life. Immunizations train your immune system to make antibodies to protect against harmful diseases/invaders.
The cells of both parts of the immune system are made in various organs of the body, including:
  • Adenoids – Two glands located at the back of the nasal passage.
  • Bone marrow – The soft, spongy tissue found in bone cavities.
  • Lymph nodes – Small organs shaped like beans, which are located throughout the body and connect via the lymphatic vessels.
  • Lymphatic vessels – A network of channels throughout the body that carries lymphocytes to the lymphoid organs and bloodstream.
  • Peyer’s patches – Lymphoid tissue in the small intestine.
  • Spleen – A fist-sized organ located in the abdominal cavity.
  • Thymus – Two lobes that join in front of the trachea behind the breastbone.
  • Tonsils – Two oval masses in the back of the throat.
Our concern regarding the immune system is due to the “unprecedented rise” in diseases associated with inflammation and immune dysfunction that have shown up largely in highly developed nations in Europe, North America, and other countries as they become more developed. Many factors play into the reasons why this is happening such as, but not limited to; dehydration, being overweight/obese, inadequate sleep, oxidative stress, smoking, alcohol abuse, lack of exercise, inferior nutrition, and poor air quality (indoors and outdoors).
Here is a list of products we offer that have the potential to enhance the immune system.
CBD – also known as cannabidiol. This chemical compound found naturally in plants like hemp acts as a supplement to assist your innate endocannabinoid system (ECS). Your ECS acts as the master regulator for all the other operating systems within your body to help regulate pain perception, anxiety/emotion, inflammation, sleep, metabolism, immune system, reproductive functions, memory, physical movement, skin health, and more.
 
IONIZED WATER – Water is the mainstay of life itself. Without water, nothing lives! Water, accompanied by nutrition, provides the oxygen and hydrogen necessary to generate energy within the trillions of cells throughout the human body. By using the process of electrolysis (electrically charging), we change the molecular structure of our source water (city tap water) to create fresh, superior hydrating, hydrogen-rich, alkalized drinking water that is loaded with antioxidants to slow the aging process, reduce inflammation while simultaneously flushing life-threatening acidity and toxins out of the cells without creating adverse side-effects. This is the perfect water to help boost your immune system.
 
AIR PURIFICATION DEVICES – We offer Green Tech air purification devices for homes, individual rooms, businesses, refrigerators, vehicles, sports bags, and personal use as a wearable. These devices purify the air you breathe with activated oxygen to kill mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, and by eliminating odors from pets, cooking, and smoking. In addition, these devices generate negative ions to neutralize free radicals, revitalize cell metabolism, enhance immune function, purify blood, and balance the autonomic nervous system, promoting deep sleep and healthy digestion.
 
DAILY NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT – We offer a personalized, daily nutritional supplement known as ÜFORIA. It is 100% plant-based plus added vitamins and minerals. It is offered in powder or capsule form and is delivered to your doorstep on a monthly basis. It is based upon your specific DNA to provide your body with
exactly what it needs… not what it doesn’t need! This technology far surpasses the efficacy of mainstream supplements that are typically manufactured and sold to the masses. A swabbed sample of your DNA directs the science of your
personalized version of ÜFORIA to interact with particular actionable genes” that affect certain functions in your body such as blood pressure, immune function, oxidative support, healthy lipids, liver health, cardiovascular health, weight issues, free-radical defense, bone health, inflammation response, digestive health, and more. The specific formulation of your ÜFORIA supplement is unique. It is one of about 400,000,000 possible combinations.
 
DNA and NEGATIVE ION INFUSED LOZENGE DROPS – Known as APLGO, these all-natural lozenge drops include proprietary blends of various plants that offer a true benefit to your wellbeing due to their high absorption rate delivering the biological action of plant constituents that benefit human health. This is amplified by a negative electrical charge which increases their antioxidant capacity (think anti-aging). The microcellular plant cell components such as plant DNA and other organelle sites that produce energy, build new proteins, sugars and lipids for a plant are released and become more bioavailable to human cells. This means the plant materials, therefore, become more readily and completely absorbed, assimilated, and utilized since the inner biology of plant cells share many similarities with human DNA. Who knew humans and plants were similar in their respective DNA? APL GO lozenges are simple, delicious, and convenient to use. APL GO products are formulated as a whole-body approach to complement one another for immediate and long-term support for our wellbeing. Each product delivers amazing whole-body benefits on its own unlike any other product available today. You can also combine lozenges together for accumulated results.
 
PROTOCOLS – We invite you to engage us in conversation about intermittent fasting, nutrition advice, weight loss & control, grounding (aka earthing), the adverse effects of sleep deprivation, and how to get a good night’s sleep.
FINAL THOUGHTSYour immune system is your first line of defense when you’re battling a common cold, flu or other cold-weather illness. Your immune system helps you heal and stay well. To work well, your immune system needs healthful foods, exercise and low stress. But, be careful because too much of an inflammatory response can lead to chronic (long term) illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
