I developed NootriFocus (formerly known as Focus 500) as a response to, or rebuttal of, drugs such a Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Adderall (dextroamphetamine saccharate, amphetamine aspartate, dextroamphetamine sulfate and amphetamine sulfate) that are designed to increase dopamine in the brain in order to increase concentration and focus.  Unfortunately, like all pharmaceuticals, they are addictive and do not “fix the problem”.  Drugs never fix or cures anything because they treat the symptoms of disease and health problems and not the underlining cause.  They also come with a lot of side effects (See below). 

NootriFocus is formulated with all natural ingredients to increase Focus and  Concentration without the result of dependency or harmful side effects.  It is a balanced blend of nutrients that feed the brain so it is able to function to its capacity.  Unleash the full potential of your brain and bring your cognition to a level you didn’t know was possible.

Focus 500 Ingredients: Magneisum L-Threonate, Bacopa, Mucuna, Ginkgo, Rhodiola, Brown Seaweed Extract, Passion Flower, DHA, Spirulina powder – GLA, Chlorella powder – ALA, Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR), L-Theanine, L-Tyrosine, L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine, L-Taurine, Vitamin B6, Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate – P5P, Folic Acid, Phosphatidylserine, Alpha-GPC, Choline Bitartrate, Caffeine, SAMe.  

Attention Deficit Disorder, ADD, according to the American Psychiatry Association, hereinafter noted as the APA, is a recent disease that supposedly afflicts over 5 million Americans, mostly young boys. ADD is generally characterized by hyperactivity, with tendencies toward fidgeting, loud outbursts, learning disabilities, and generally unruly behavior. It is perhaps the only disease in American history which may be legally diagnosed by people with no medical credentials whatsoever, including teachers, school counselors, aides, principals, even parents. No lab tests, blood tests, microscope studies, or definitive diagnostic tests exist for ADD.

Not every society has redefined the norms of childhood (and especially boyhood) in such a way that a large percentage of its children are diagnosed with a “mental disorder” called ADHD. Not every society has embraced mental steroids to enhance their children’s academic performance and control their behavior. They have found other ways to deal with the often annoying juiced-up energy level of childhood.  –  Time Magazine

In A Disease Called Childhood, Wedge examines the factors that have created a generation addicted to stimulant drugs. Instead of focusing only on treating symptoms, she looks at the various potential causes of hyperactivity and inattention in children, and behavioral and environmental—as opposed to strictly biological—treatments that have been proven to help. In the process, Wedge offers a new paradigm for child mental health—and a better, happier, and less medicated future for American children.   –  A Disease Called Childhood by Marilyn Wedge.

My first visit to a medical doctor in 15 years, although I have had a full physical and They ran a full blood workup, including immune system, vitamin B’s, vitamin D, Lipids, COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC PANEL, Iron, PSA, eGFR. 

The doctor I saw that day had never seen ANYONE my age, 59, who was not on some kind of medication.  Not one!! I am not now, and have been, on ANY medication of ANY kind.  It actually makes me chuckle to thing that.

A university professor in Chile has developed a green-colored artificial skin from algae that can actually breathe.

Artificial skin has no blood vessels so the it cannot produce the oxygen, which is desperately it needs to live. However, when micro-algae such as Chlorella is mixed with the artificial skin it allows it to breathe by way of photosynthesis. Beyond the cosmetic improvement to the artificial skin offers, algae will also help heal any damaged natural skin.

Professor Egana says the green-colored skin could eventually be used to help patients treat open wounds, tumors and possibly avoid amputations. With animal testing a proven success human trials are soon to follow.

Cheese, eggs, more cheese, cauliflower, tomato sauce from a jar, pepperoni – This is healthy??! I think not! Talk about misinformation. According to Dr. Berg all you need to do is remove the flour and sugar and suddenly a junk food like pizza transforms into something incredibly health that “you can have as much as want” and it “Totally healthy, totally legal.” What nonsense.

Here is one of my infamous REBUTTALS, this one to Lierre Keith’s Interview on Louder with Crowder Denouncing Veganism. This is one of the most ridiculous interviews against veganism I have ever seen. It’s really laughable to listen to some of the theories about plants and how they “think” and make “decisions” and “how they decided to take a chance and make themselves edible to humans”.

Some real crazy talk and Crowder didn’t challenge her on any of it. He wanted a ex-vegan who “got sick from being a vegan” and now renounces it and he found one. So can talk all the crazy talk she wants as long as she says veganism is an ideology and it nearly killed her.

Here is the original interview:

Here is my video REBUTTLE to The Alkaline Myth and Hype About Alkaline Ionized Water. 

Markus Rothkranz interviews James Sloan about how terrible Alkaline Ionized Water is to consume.  Lot’s of misinformation and innuendo get DEBUNKED here.  So many people have been mislead by this video.  They only talk about alkalinity and ONLY say bad things about it.   None of their argument really holds up.

1. Water.  I promote Alkaline Ionized Water which is a powerful Antioxidant with an abundance of electrons and a negative charge (ORP). It is alkalizing, extremely hydrating and detoxifying.   These are all the same quality as Raw fruits and vegetables. What is promoted now by Raw Food Gurus is “Raw Water”, unfiltered Spring Water that is “alive”, “conscious” that has “fructagenic energy” that levitates out of the ground. This is animism and confuses people as to which water to drink. They encourage people to travel to a “Natural Spring” in the middle of nowhere to fill glass jugs and “don’t drink anything else.” This is impractical and unnecessary.   Water needs to be filtered and bottled spring water is fine to drink.  How much water to drink each day is also ignored. 1 – 1.5 gallons per day, never around mealtime and never more than one liter per hour.

2. Chlorella – Spirulina” Superior Protein
These are the most powerful foods in the world. They are complete foods, that are the most nutritionally dense and diverse foods known. They are THE Ultimate Super Foods. We should use them for our protein instead of cooked animal protein, especially vegans and vegetarians. They are the kings of Protein, Chlorophyll and Nucleic Acids.  Claims have been made that the amount of iron in chlorella is a problem for women. This is not true because it is a whole food.

3. Probiotics – Acidophilus and Bifidus
These are the friendly bacteria that I hear little about from the raw food gurus. They fight bacterial and viral disease, produce B-vitamins, help take in nutrients and keep our digestive tract clean. There is a lot of talk about fermented foods which I agree with, but almost nothing about “supplementing” with these two bacterium. If you don’t take probiotics, chances are you will end up with digestive problems.

4. Vigorous Exercise
We need 20 – 30 minutes of vigorous exercise daily. This builds our immune system and cleanses our organs. We need to raise our heart rate to 110 – 150 bpm and keep it there for 20 – 30 minutes daily. I hear little or nothing about vigorous exercise from the raw food community.

5. Angstrom Minerals
Minerals are the keys that start the engine of our health. There is a lot of talk about being properly mineralized, but angstrom minerals are not promoted as they once were. Even on a raw food diet it’s almost impossible to get enough of all the various minerals that we require. Angstrom is the answer.
