Eczema is a very common condition in America; 7.2 % of adults have eczema, while 13% of children under the age of 18 suffer with this condition. In other words, multiple millions of adults and children suffer needlessly from eczema.
People are essentially told that they have to learn to live with eczema, which allows for no hope of ever becoming free of this condition. This can be quite a crushing thought for someone, particularly if they are young and have a bad case of eczema.
For anyone with eczema who feels a little hopeless and helpless, the image below should give you immediate hope. The pre and post images are from a woman aged 77, and the pictures were taken five months apart.
The Basic Health Promotion program is designed to support a DeFlaming diet (Deflaming Guidelines). It is very difficult to consume adequate nutrients unless one has a near perfect diet, which very few people are able to do on a regular basis. The Basic program contains the nutrients that seem to be the most lacking in the average American’s diet:
1. The anti-inflammatory diet (see The DeFlame Diet book)
2. Supplement options
a. Basic Health Program
b. Advanced Health Program
The term "skin health" can conjure up television commercials for various creams and lotions that are applied to the skin to make the skin healthy. In fact, most important to skin health is probably what we eat. While this may come as surprise, scientific articles discuss this relationship:

Corticosteroid creams are the most common treatment for “managing” eczema. A popular website (WebMD) explains that the goal of treatment is 4-fold (1):
It is not uncommon for people to suffer with multiple pro-inflammatory conditions, which leads people to seek treatments for each condition. The best move for the average person is to "DeFlame" themselves to see if they can live a medication-free life. About Deflame
DeFlaming is about reducing inflammation. This is a very relevant lifestyle consideration as almost all chronic aches, pains, and diseases are caused by chronic inflammation. Not well known is that poor nutrition, a lack of sleep, a lack of exercise, and stress all lead to chronic inflammation and eventually, this leads to the expression of chronic disease.
The focus of DeFlame.com is about how poor nutrition promotes chronic inflammation, which leads to aches, pains, depression, fatigue, general ill health, and chronic disease. To combat chronic inflammation consider acquiring The DeFlame Diet book, DeFlaming supplements from Anabolic Labs, and consider DeFlame Consulting. To the right are additional ways you can DeFlame your life.
Clinical Vitamin D3 contains 60 microtabs of cholecalciferol at a dose of 5000 IU. Taking 1 tab every 2 days would provide the equivalent of 2500 IU per day for 120 days. Taking 1 tab per day is a two month supply at 5000 IU per day. If more vitamin D is needed, 2 tabs per day provide 10,000 IU, which may seem like a lot; however, to put this amount into perspective, 10,000 IU is the same as 1/4 of a milligram and people take 100s of milligrams of vitamin each day.
Vitamin D research
For many years, most people have heard that vitamin D supplementation is dangerous. I grew up thinking this and was even lead to believe this notion in many nutrition books. We now know this view to be erroneous. In fact, it is likely that many of us are deficient in vitamin D, and this is thought to be related to the expression of many conditions, such as low back pain, epilepsy, cancer, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, chronic aches and pains, type I diabetes, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, hypertension, syndrome X and depression (1,2).
Ultra K2-D3 provides 80 mcg of vitamin K2 and 2000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per tablet (60 tabs per bottle). Vitamin K2 is involved in calcium metabolism by promoting bone density and by inhibiting calcium accumulation in blood vessels. Vitamin D3 is involved in the regulation of some 1000 genes, including those involved in bone and cardiovascular function.
Ultra K2-D3 is a cinnamon flavored tablet and can be chewed or swallowed. If 2 tablets are taken each day, this delivers 160 mcg of K2 and 4000 IU of vitamin D3, which is thought to be a physiologic dose.
Vitamin K2 research
There are two types of vitamin K, those being K1 and K2. Phylloquinone is vitamin K1, which is found in green leafy vegetables, and its primary function is to promote blood clotting. Coumadin “thins the blood” by antagonizing the action of vitamin K.
Menaquinone is vitamin K2 and there are multiple varieties, which are designated as MK-4 to MK-14.
Molecularly distilled, concentrated EPA/DHA fish oil sourced from cold water Norwegian fish. A 1200 mg fish oil softgel containing 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA. Also includes a natural mix of tocopherols for additional antioxidant protection and orange oil for a pleasant flavor. Molecular distillation process ensures that no pesticides, PCBs or heavy metals are present.
EPA/DHA are acronyms for eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, respectively. Whenever an animal eats vegetation/foliage, the body converts alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) into EPA and DHA. Most people have heard or read about omega-3 fatty acids; ALA, EPA, and DHA are the famous omega-3s (n-3 and n-6 are the abbreviation for omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, respectively). Fresh wild fish are the best sources of omega-3s and most supermarkets brands will indicate on the label if they are wild caught or farmed - best sources of omega-3s are wild caught.
The DeFlame Diet is actually a concept…it is not a specific rigid diet, and this is not a trivial semantic issue. Additionally, by embracing The DeFlame Diet concept, it can help you to better deal with the dietary challenges that we all face.
What challenges am I referring to? Consider the fact that most people in America are overweight or obese, which means most people eat high calorie foods in excess of their caloric needs. I can say for myself that, while I am not overweight, I deal with the same dietary challenge. And most of the non-overweight people I know, agree with me on this. In other words, we also want to eat high calorie foods, we just stop ourselves. This can be achieved by anyone but it requires developing the proper weight management mindset, which involves living in a perpetual state of mindfulness regarding caloric intake. This mindset can be likened to taking care of an infant or young child, which involves creating a healthy environment that is free of catastrophic dangers.
If you are overweight, I recommend you acquire a copy of my new book entitled Weight Loss Secrets You Need To Know, which is available for as little as .99 cents for the kindle version:
The information in the Weight Loss Secrets book was not included in The DeFlame Diet for a very specific reason…food eating is an emotional event, and this is both for normal weight and overweight people. For this reason, I think it is foolish to tag a specific eating style as being required for weight management. In other words, you could be a carnivore, omnivore, lacto-ovo vegetarian or a vegan to achieve normal weight and an anti-inflammatory state. My preference is to be an omnivore and I am not opposed to other options, AND the reason for this has to do with understanding the key guideline that forms the found of The DeFlame Diet.
The key guideline of The DeFlame Diet is to reduce or eliminate nutrient-free calories made from refined sugar, flour and oils, and replace them with whole foods from plant and animal origin. The way you determine the best diet for you is based on how you feel and by normalizing easy-to-measure markers of inflammation. These markers are listed in Chapter 9, which is entitled “Self-assessment – am I inflamed?
I have created several videos that outline The DeFlame Diet mindset. You should watch these. Three of the more useful videos in this regard are entitled:
Joint pain is one of the more universal problems that afflict both men and women and the majority suffer at one point or another. The primary joint health problem is pain and pain is caused by inflammation.
Regarding specific joint health nutrients, glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and joint protective effects. Glucosamine/chondroitin are the building blocks for proteoglycans, function to imbibe water like a sponge, allowing for joints to resist compression without injury.
Joint space loss as we age is known to be caused by a loss of proteoglycans, secondary to chronic inflammation and inappropriate joint loading. Consequently, supplemental glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate have been popular for years for the purpose of reducing pain and preserving joint space.
Dr Seaman’s work in area of pain and inflammation has been cited by researchers at Harvard University, the CDC, and other universities in America and abroad. If you have any further queries about Joint Health, You can contact us at: Anti Inflammatory Supplements
