The Nopalea Loading Phase

08/28/2011 12:18

You can't put out a forest fire with a single pail of water. Likewise, you can't break the cycle of inflammation with a single serving of Nopalea.

We need to meet the level of inflammation in our body with an equivalent force of anti-inflammatory Betalains from Nopalea. We must quench inflammation with a Nopalea Loading Phase (NLP).


The cycle of inflammation
Inflammation in your body is like a campfire: when properly contained it is useful for warming your body and cooking your food. However, when even a single ember escapes the hearth and remains unquenched, it can smolder and spread until it burns down an entire forest!

The cycle of inflammation begins with injury or trauma, toxins or poisons, deficiency or stress. When inflammation is controlled and balanced, it facilitates:

  • Repair of the injury.
  • Elimination of the toxins and poisons.
  • Relief for many forms of deficiency and stress. For example, controlled and balanced inflammation relieves blood and oxygen deficiency in areas of poor circulation.

Runaway inflammation persists long after the cause has been removed. It continues to smolder and spread until something breaks the cycle. With fire, usually a little water will quench an ember before it causes a forest fire. With runaway inflammation in our body, we need anti-inflammatory nutrients that will remove the cause as well as the effect of inflammation.

However, the same amount of water that quenches a single ember will not douse the flames of a forest fire. The same level of anti-inflammatory nutrients that will balance daily trauma, toxins, deficiency and stress will not "put out the fire" of runaway inflammation.

The Nopalea Loading Phase
We are a people on fire: we typically have runaway inflammation raging in one or more places of our bodies. We suffer from this because so many of our health problems stem from this very condition. And if our inflamed condition is greater in size and intensity, the greater our response will have to be in order to put out the fire.

That makes sense, doesn't it? I mean, if you have a forest fire of inflammation you can't put it out with a single pail of water. The same is true with our health: If we have been suffering from major inflammation over a long period of time, we need a REALLY SIGNIFICANT RESPONSE to put out the fire.

We need a Nopalea Loading Phase.
The Betalains in Nopalea are anti-inflammatory - as such, they put out the fire of inflammation. But how much Nopalea do you need? That depends: How big is the fire you are trying to put out?

For maintenance, the label suggests drinking 1 to 3 ounces a day; this amount is needed every day just to fight the inflammatory effects of our diet, air and water pollution, and even everyday stress. But you need to take more in the beginning to break the cycle of inflammation. Here is how the Nopalea Loading Phase works:

  1. Pre-Evaluation: Before taking Nopalea for the first time, record your level of pain and rate the discomfort you feel. Also, look at things you may not readily associate with inflammation. For example, how well are you sleeping? Write it all down.
  2. Complete the Loading Phase: Drink 3 to 6 ounces of chilled Nopalea every day for 30 days.
  3. Post-Evaluation: After 30 days, assess how you feel in comparison to before you started the Loading Phase. Most people find a significant difference and I'm sure you will too.

Keep following the Loading Phase directions until the cycle of inflammation is extinguished in your body. Remember, only YOU know how much Nopalea you will need or how LONG you will need to continue the Loading Phase. Trust your intuition.

  • If you think you need more - take more.
  • If you think you need to continue the Loading Phase beyond 30 days - then keep doing it.

Trust your instinct because only you can tell when the cycle of inflammation in your body is broken.

Restoring balance
Nutrient deficiencies create inflammation. That's why it makes enormous sense to take a full serving of  Healthy Foundation nutrients  to support our bodies' firefighting efforts. Furthermore, each of the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness is also anti-inflammatory in nature. So if we fail to abide by these timeless, natural laws, we could very well be fanning the fires of the inflammatory problems we're ultimately trying to overcome. It's important to remember that once you have subdued the flames of runaway inflammation, you need to follow Nopalea's maintenance regimen to help prevent any smoldering inflammatory embers from re-igniting again.
