Guard Dog

Do you have a Guard Dog? Actually I am not referring to the four legged kind. We each have our own Guard Dog, it is our Immune System.

Here are some facts about the immune system:
  • Having a balanced immune sytem guards against cancer, lupus, MS and the common illnesses" such as colds, flus and viruses
  • Exercise boosts the immune system
  • The immune system is the "heart" of our healt

Here are things that negatively impact the immune sytem:

  • Stress
  • Sugar
  • White Flour
  • White Sugar
  • Caffeine
  • Alcohol

What can you do to have a balanced immune system?

  1. Exercise
  2. Healthy diet. Eat healthy 80% of the time, 20% of the time eat what you want and enjoy it. Healthy consists of: fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats and fish, and water
  3. Supplementation. You know vitamins, minerals, herbs.

A product exclusive (a world wide patent) to Mama Bear Productions is Nutriferon. Nutriferon is a potent up-regulator of Natural Killer Cells, which are specific white blood cells that target tumor cells and cells infected by pathogen like viruses.

This summer two people in my life passed away. They both had cancer. People are waiting for a cure, but if you could do everything you could to prevent it, wouldn't you? Follow my 1,2, 3s and you are on the road to doing just that.

Creating a healthy family is like a game of Follow the Leader. Take care of yourself first!

Belly Fat is DANGEROUS

In an inteview with Dr. Oz, he discusses how belly fat (aka Omentum Fat or Visceral Fat) really harms our health and how it affects the major organs in the body.


  1. Poisons the liver. The fat gets from the stomach to the liver. Basically the liver is the body's filter. So the poisons from belly fat are now distributed to the rest of the body.

  2. Omentum fat (belly fat) is actually under the muscle. It blocks the Pancrease from functioning, which means it can't produce insulin, causing diabetes.

  3. The omentum fat squeezes the kidneys. This causes blood pressure to go up.

So belly fat causes: High blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Those three things are called Metabolic Syndrome. Now Metabolic Syndrome is the cause of:



  • Number one cause of heart attacks

  • Number one cause of strokes

  • Causes imputence, wrinkles, etc.

How can you determine if you have excess belly fat (omentum fat)? Get a tape measure and measure your waist at the navel (belly button). Your waist size should be no more than 1/2 the inches of your height. For example, if you are six feet tall (72 inches), your waist should not be more than 36 inches.


On the average less than 37 inches of belly fat for men and 32 1/2 inches for women. BUT the best way to know if you have belly fat is the above formula.


Belly fat can take 15 years off your life!
