New Affiliate Programs
June 3rd, 2013Disclosure: I am an affiliate for both AstaSupreme and Deca Aloe Arborescens. I will be paid a commission if you click through to the companies from Cryptogon and place an order.
Warning: Nothing that appears on Cryptogon should be considered medical advice.
Pookie let me know about some supplements that she was interested in buying, and that the companies have affiliate programs. I signed up for both of them:
For those who are interested, here are a couple of links about Astaxanthin:
LifeExtension: Astaxanthin Overview
LifeExtension: Astaxanthin Provides Broad Spectrum Protection
And here’s a Rural Delivery piece that goes into how AstaSupreme got started. (I like small business stories.)
There is a lot of info on the Aloe Arborescens product at the site.
I don’t have any personal experience with either of these products. I’m posting them mainly for FYI purposes, because I know, from personal communications with many of you, that you’re going through some hard stuff. As for my own family, my dad is in a cardiac care unit at the moment and he’s also suffering from very debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. He’s not the sort of guy to ever ask for help, but he knew he was a dead man walking… or not walking, actually, and he let my sister intervene. He’s still alive because of her.
He’s 80 years old and he did a demolition project on his house back in September 2012. He demmoed the balcony on his house that was dry rotted and needed to come down. He would have been breathing a lot of lead dust, mold and rodent feces/urine particles. He’s the last person on earth who would consider using a respirator for such an activity.
Over the last couple of months, he started depending more and more on aspirin for pain and stiffness. You have to understand, I don’t think he ever took pain medication for anything, ever. I walked in on him once as he was pulling one of his own teeth out of his jaw with a pair of pliers.
“Holy sh*t! WTF are you doing?”
“Getting relief, man. It feels better now.”
Ok, so flash forward to the present: to hear him straining to talk through the arthritis pain and jonesing for aspirin was very strange. It just got worse and worse. My sister took him over to her place, and one morning, he couldn’t get out of bed.
Emergency room. Cardiac care unit. Carvedilol, Prednisone, Rivaroxaban, Sotalol. etc. etc.
I’m not saying that the lead, mold and rat shit caused this situation, but he went from doing heavy construction and yard work to clinging to life inside of eight months. Anyway, this is my way of saying that my interest in these products goes beyond simply trying to earn a commission.
Most of you have seen Pookie on Cryptogon over the years. She’s actually a close family friend of ours, and we discuss a lot of things in private. Pookie knows a lot about alternative medicine. She’s on the front lines, every day. If she wants to tell you more, that’s up to her. But my point is, if Pookie tells me that she’s interested in something, I check it out.
Sorry to hear about your father Kevin. I don’t know about the rest of that stuff they are giving him, but that Prednisone is a dreadful MFeffer. The doctor would prescribe it for Mom whenever she aspirated. However, it destroys your immune system so how does a person “win” while taking this. Anyways, thats probably the last thing you need to hear at this time. Much love to your sister and you too at this time. He sounds like he has a strong will to live. That counts for a lot.
Re Astaxanthin – I’ve been taking it for several months. I have dry eye which is a very discomforting condition. I’ve been wearing gas permeable contact lense since I was 16 and wow one day (40 years later) I felt like I had dirt in my eye. Well, it was dry. Astaxanthin is supposed to help this condition – I’ve been buying all sorts of oils re the link re Amazon.
One side effect of taking it though really suprised me. Dr. Mercola wrote that astaxanthin is an internal sunscreen.
I worked in the garden here in NW PA Friday on a clear blue sky day free of chemtrails. A 90 degree day – first time out in the sun for such an extended period. Normally, I would be fried and have a horrible sunburn. I couldn’t believe that I was fried and burnt and hurting from being in the sun. Amazing- that would be number 8 on the list on the first link:
8. Protects against DNA damage from UVA rays.
Hasn’t helped my dry eye though. It gets aggravated from looking at a computer screen. I’m going to make myself a pirate patch.
Thanks Pookie, and dear Kevin, I will ask the goddess to give comfort and restored health to your Dad. She really does seem to listen.
Love, E
Meant to say was NOT fried and burnt. OOps.
