BarleyGold™

BarleyGold is a live superfood that is:

• Raw
• Whole
• 100% Organic
• 95% Digestible
• Abundant in SOD Enzymes

This is a whole food that has superior deliver of antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, fiber, vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids.

Whether babies, athletes, seniors and even pets, the BarleyGold and its companion Flax Hull Lignan is a perfect food when looking to utilize live food’s array of nutrients. You will see there is no other product like the BarleyGold on the market with the ability to be sprouted and remained stabilized in the alive state for not what normally would be hours, but for years!

Convenience is what our fast-paced society wants and needs. Sprouting is tedious and time consuming with often moldy, negative results. We have surpassed what science ahs been trying to discover for years: consistent results. As you read, you will understand how our two-fold mechanical process has taken sprouting to a whole new level. This technology is what has made BarleyGold a success over the past decade, not passing fancy, but a steadily-growing product of demand.

In the past year we have done market testing in the health food store arena. Community Natural Foods of Calgary, Alberta, was so ecstatic with the BarleyGold (and the Flax Hull Lignan), it has been flying off their shelves with staff boasting of their own beneficial experiences.

Superior Benefits of the Barley Grain

Barley is a relatively under-utilized and unexploited grain. Its unique composition and competent functionality give it high nutritional potential.

There is a wide array of scientific studies trumpeting the health benefits of whole grains (the bran, the germ and the endosperm).

The product contains phyto-nutrients, natural plant-based chemicals (vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and an assortment of other disease-fighting compounds).

Studies show, of all the grains, Barley is a top-notch source of soluble fiber (the type that regulates blood sugar readings and decreases blood cholesterol levels).

Barley also contains compounds called tocotrienols, which have shown to decrease cholesterol production.

Two Harvard studies show that people consuming whole-grain products are less likely to experience weight gain over the years. It’s not just fiber at work, making you feel fuller and more satisfied, but a mix of not-as-yet-identified compounds that may boost metabolic rate or calorie-burning capacity.

There are proven links between eating whole grains and decreased risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, diabetes and easier waist management. A 2003 Japanese study concluded Barley should be recommended to prevent some of these chronic diseases. In May 2006 the American FDA announced that it has finalized a rule that allows foods containing a required amount of barley to claim that they reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, specifically, whole-grain barley.

Whole-grain barley is chock full of antioxidants (a richer source than fruits and vegetables) and has six times the magnesium and four times the potassium of refined grains (both important players in maintaining healthy blood pressure readings).

Whole-grain fiber plays an important role in maintaining bowel regularity.

Barley promotes a natural anti-inflammatory process, which may help in controlling symptoms of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and colitis.

Chart of Barley’s Beneficial Nutrients

This chart outlines what is available in Barley and how our body can utilize these nutrients for positive benefits

Proximates

Minerals

Minerals are needed for the body fluids, for blood, bones, healthy nerves and to regulate muscle tone, including those of the heart.

Vitamins

Vitamins are organic molecules that function in a wide variety of capacities within the body. Their most prominent function is as co-factors for enzymatic reactions. They generally cannot be synthesized by the body and, therefore, must be supplied in the diet.

Amino Acids

Twenty amino acids are needed to build the various proteins used in growth, repair and maintenance of body tissues. Eleven are made by the body (non-essential): arginine, alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, proline, serine, tyrosine. Nine must come from diet (essential): isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, histidine.

Fatty Acids

Over seventy fatty acids have been discovered in nature. They are important for a wide array of cell structure components and for many chemical reactions in the body including energy and hormonal activities.

Regular Barley vs BarleyGold™

Many whole foods are lacking the active life force within them that are energy contributors. Without the active state of our foods, we become over burdened with digestive inability and degenerative conditions.

BarleyGold™ convenience encapsulates what we have been missing in our modern diet. Due to its sprouted alive state, it can release many benefits to our bodies.

What makes the BarleyGold™ so nutritious compared to regular Barley Grain?

The SPROUTED SEED! For decades scientists have attempted to unlock the vast nutrients that a seed holds, by sprouting the seed. However, numerous tests failed to receive consistent and positive results. The missing key was synchronizing of the sprouts. Our suppler achieves this by first using their Growth Enhancement Method (GEM™). They then stabilize the sprouts in their live state for up to five years, using the Nutrient Stabilization Process (NSP™). With this two-fold mechanical process, the nutrient-rich barley seed goes from 5% to 95% digestibility. These enormous amounts of phyto-nutrients and soluble proteins are quickly and conveniently absorbed, giving a new awakening in your lifestyle.

Following is a chart comparing regular barley grain to BarleyGold™. The results were unlike anything the laboratory had ever seen with barley grain and thought their testing machines were broken. After being re-calibrated, and the BarleyGold™ re-tested, they were astonished to see that the second set of tests was only .01% off their initial testing. They were seeing consistent results, also unlike the past scientific studies done on sprouted seeds!

* Barley is naturally 2% glucosamine by weight.
* Comparisons are of several hundred-sample one kilogram lots.

Note the percentage change in Copper, Manganese and Zinc, which together form a Super Oxide Dismutase, the largest Antioxidant.

Questions, Comments and Answers

Q: How was BarleyGold™ originated?

A: BarleyGold™ was first formulated with Agriculture Canada to test barley feed with broiler chickens. The Growth Enhancement Method (G.E.M.) combined with the Nutrient Stabilization Process (N.S.P.) enhanced the value of the feed enormously. Physiological results were also remarkable. So much so, that it was believed that people could also benefit greatly from this enhanced barley. With further study and development the all-natural whole food product that is known today as BarleyGold™ came into existence.

Q: What research has been done on the efficacy of this product?

A: As mentioned, testing was done on broiler chickens. They make good test subjects as they don’t respond to placebos and because they have a relatively short life span, so extensive batteries of tests could be completed. The bioassay (animal feed tests determining efficacy’s tests) concluded the broiler chickens had higher red and white blood cells, higher bone density, stronger hearts, leaner but not heavier muscle mass, and a higher intestinal viscosity.

Q: How long do I need to stay on the BarleyGold™ before I start noticing positive results?

A: The results and time will vary from person to person as everyone has a different past of health and needs. We suggest three months of consistent use before the BarleyGold™ has had a chance to show its benefits.

Q: Can I take BarleyGold when I am pregnant or nursing?

A: It’s always good to talk to your health practitioner whether they think it would be a good idea or not. If you have been on the BarleyGold™ for awhile, much of the initial detoxing has been done and this nutritious food would have a lot to offer your growing fetus. BarleyGold™ is a food . . . a very nutritious one.

Q: How long can I store this product?

A: If the BarleyGold™ is stored in a sealed container in your cupboard or on your counter, that is usually good enough. If the climate is humid, it is best to keep it in the fridge and definitely sealed. Do not leave the BarleyGold™ in an overheated car, or in any heat above 35 degrees C (105 degrees F).

Freezing the BarleyGold™ is fine but will not postpone the life expectancy any further. Life expectancy is a bit over a couple of years, which is a remarkable shelf life that is due to our natural process called Nutrient Stabilization Process (NSP). The container will have a best before date.

Q: What is a healing event?

A: A healing event occurs when your body is ridding itself of toxins, and cleaning up old injuries and ailments. You will ache in such areas of healing or just feel tired. It is your body’s way of slowing you down so it can repair the damage. Embrace these times, rest and keep warm.

Q: How long can a healing event take?

A: Often a couple to a few days. If it is longer, it may rather be an allergic reaction to a food you are consuming. The BarleyGold™ serving sizes should keep these events to a minimum. If the healing event is too much, simply go off the BarleyGold™ for 3 days and then start at the lower suggested serving before your last intake size.

Q: What does BarleyGold™ look and taste like?

A: BarleyGold™ is in a flour-like, powdered form. It has the ability to take on the tease of whatever it is put into. In other words, it can be easily camouflaged for children if put into applesauce, yogurt or even chocolate nut/ rice milk. Alone it has a taste similar to nutty flour. The simplest means of intake is to take a spoonful and wash it down with water. You can put it in juice, your favorite smoothie or nut / rice milk. Stir it into your cereal or cooled porridge. You can be quite creative, but avoid putting the BarleyGold™ in anything that is over 35 degrees Celsius (105 degrees F).

Do not microwave, cook or bake with BarleyGold™.

Q: Is there gluten in BarleyGold™?

A: In regular barley grain there is gluten. However, gluten intolerances are developed from eating food that is not sprouted, fermented or activated in the raw form, thus the body cannot break down the gluten. The BarleyGold™ ahs the active enzymes present needed to break down the gluten proteins inside the grain.

Since celiacs are deficient in these enzymes, they should start with a few grains a day and slowly build up over time until their body has enough active enzymes to digest and assimilate the BarleyGold™ properly.

Q: Will I see my diet change:

A: Customers often feel more full on days that the BarleyGold™ is consumed. As the metabolism is re-booted, the body becomes more in tune with what it needs and what it does not like.

Q: What are the properties in the two new products you are selling, the Flax Hull Lignan and BarleyGold, and do how they compare to a fine-quality fish oil or krill oil? Specifically, are the nutritional needs of the brain, such as are addressed by fish oil/ krill oil, addressed by Flax Lignans and/or BarleyGold? J.R.

A: Some fish oils are an excellent source of nutrients. Flax is also an excellent source of the omega 3 and 6 oils, yet this is not the main reason to be taking the Flax Hull Lignan. If someone is interested in having a high quality and quantity of oil, the Flax Hull Lignan will supply some, but she should supplement it with another product. We will be getting a very high whole flax product together to market, but it will be in the new year.

Regarding the BarleyGold, it is one of the highest sources of glucosamine, which not only is regarded as a brain food but helps regenerate the intestine. Our intestines start to die at about age 25 and subsequently add to the deterioration process, certainly affecting the brain and all the other organs. The toxins are not removed as efficiently and nutrients, whether they are oils, enzymes, vitamins, minerals or other nutrients, are not able to move into the body.

Microbial populations are changed, influencing the complete biological terrain. These biochemical changes further influence how we feel and think. This is why in initiating our protocol we emphasize the process is truly an "awakening a new lifestyle." As the body starts to rebalance itself, healing occurs, brain fog is cleared and bodily functions move toward normalization. This is a lifetime commitment -- not a one or two week trial to see if things work.

The body is the genius and with the building blocks, it will repair itself -- whether the immune system with the Flax Hull Lignan or the intestines with the BarleyGold. It seems the longer one is on the products, the deeper and more complete the body repairs itself. I also see that there is not a single item that is a "cure all," but once the intestine starts to heal, the ecosonoid metabolism, or body/brain communication system, starts to teach the individual what/when and how much other input it requires.

Availability

Each container offers 24 ounces (681 grams) in powder form –- approximately a one-month supply. Initially, however, the first one or two jars will last longer (1-1/2 months to 2 months) since you start out slowly . . . the slow integration of dense nutrition is best, so there is no major 'healing event' (too rapid detox).

Usage

Barley Gold Food in General

Each container offers 24 ounces (681 grams) in powder form – Approximately a one-month supply. Initially, however, the first one or two jars will last longer (1-1/2 months to 2 months) since you start out slowly . . . the slow integration of dense nutrition is best, so there is no major 'healing event' (too rapid detox).

Be aware that this powerful product has a way of bringing into balance the body’s organs and metabolism. It generally follows the pathway of detoxifying the intestines first, then the kidneys, next is the liver, fourthly the circulatory system, the nervous system and after about 4 – 6 months to a year, the lungs. Again, it depends upon the state of your inner terrain as to how long it will take to move through this process.

Caution: Natural wholesome foods like barely or flax may counteract the effects of prescription medications. Please consult with your doctor or qualified health care provider if you are on any prescription medication before taking these products.

Healing Event: A healing event (sometimes called a healing crisis or the herxheimer effect) occurs when your body is ridding itself of toxins and cleaning up old injuries and ailments. You will ache in such areas of healing or just feel tired. You may feel as if you are catching the flu. It is your body’s way of slowing you down so it can repair the damage. Embrace these times, rest and keep warm. In the event, however, that the discomfort becomes too great, slow down the detoxification by reducing your usage or temporarily stopping for a short time. When you are ready, start back on the Barley at ½ the rate and work back up to full servings.

Lungs: It must be noted that when the lungs are healing (approx 4 -6 months from first use), you will feel like you are coming down with a bad flu bug. It is important when this happens that you go off the BarleyGold immediately, as when the toxins are being thrown out of the lungs the fluid can progress to a more serious condition. This can be indicated by excessive mucous starting to appear, and then it could go to a coughing reaction. If somebody is a smoker, it will be very noticeable when large chunks of junk will start to come up from the aveoli. Once things get back to normal without any coughing or congestion, start the BarleyGold at ½ rate and work back up to the full servings. 

Continued healing occurs throughout the body the longer you take the product and then acts to slow down any degeneration

When mixing with food or drinks, do not use with anything over the temperature of 35 degrees Celsius (105 degrees Fahrenheit).

Babies and Children: This is a raw, live, ancient food from which many babies and children benefit.

Babies: Start with small amounts added to their pablum or cereal. Start with ¼ teaspoon when introducing it into their pablum, and slowly double the intake up to 2 teaspoons when they are still small.

Children: Start with ½ teaspoon and work up to 1 tablespoon.

Teens: Follow the suggested serving as for adults.

Animals: The suggested servings for humans were worked out based on an average weight of 140-200 pounds. So minimizing the serving to a small animal is crucial, and of course, a larger serving for a big animal is preferred. The guideline below show how much to start. (Since your pet cannot tell you how they feel, a close eye on how they are doing is a must.) If the animal is sick and has ailments, it is recommended that they start on a smaller amount than suggested for their weight. Healthy and high-performance animals may need more than the highest serving before and after their performances.

If your pet is doing well with serving sizes, you can double the amount weekly until they are at the suggested maximum.

10 pounds and up: Start with ½ teaspoon – work up to a maximum of 1 teaspoon
25 pounds and up: Start with 1/2 teaspoon – work up to a maximum of 1 tablespoon
50 pounds and up: Start with ½ teaspoon – work up to a maximum of 1-1/2 tablespoons
75 pounds and up: Start with ½ teaspoon – work up to a maximum of 2 tablespoons
100 pounds and up: Start with 1 teaspoon – work up to a maximum of 2 tablespoons
200 pounds and up: Start with 1 teaspoon – work up to a maximum of ½ cup
800-2,000 pounds and up: Large animal: start with ½ cup – work up to maximum of 2 cups

Do not feed BarleyGold to rodent pets;  ie., hamsters, gerbils, mice, rabbits, etc. This product is too much for their little bodies and could be detrimental.

Usage for Those with Gluten Intolerance

In regular barley grain there is gluten. However, gluten intolerances are developed from eating food that is not sprouted, fermented or activated in the raw form, thus the body cannot break down the gluten. The BarleyGold has the active enzymes present needed to break down the gluten proteins inside the grain.

Since Celiacs are deficient in these enzymes, they should start with a few grains a day and slowly build up over time until their body has enough active enzymes to digest and assimilate the BarleyGold properly.

Notes from the Fifty-Five Plus Conference

The carb phobia is finally letting up. Not all carbohydrate-rich foods are equal.
 
The 2004 Fifty-Plus conference in New Orleans (theme: Whole Grains Go Mainstream) presented a wide array of scientific studies trumpeting the health benefits of whole grains.
 
Sorting through the whole grains products to come up with the most healthful option is not always an easy task.
 
Whole grains . . . the bran, the germ, the endosperm. In refined grains the bran and germ are removed. Bran and germ are the nutritional powerhouse behind the benefits provided by whole grains.
 
Whole grains contain vitamins, minerals, fiber and an assortment of other disease-fighting compounds.
 
A US Agriculture Research Service recent study found links between eating whole grains and decreased risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers and diabetes along with easier waist management.
 
Studies show Barley is a top notch source of soluble fiber (the type that regulates blood sugar readings) and decreases blood cholesterol levels. Barley also contains compounds called tocotrienols, which have shown to decrease cholesterol production.
 
Two Harvard studies show that people consuming whole grains are less likely to experience weight gain over the years. Consuming refined grains was associated with weight increase and the studies suggested that it is not just  fiber at work, making you feel fuller and more satisfied with whole grains, but a mix of not-as-yet identified compounds that may boost metabolic rate, or calorie-burning capacity.
 
If these studies are not enough to convince you of the value of including whole grain products in your diet, consider these whole grain facts:
 
- Whole grains are chock full of antioxidants (a richer source than fruits and vegetables)
 
- Whole grains have six times the magnesium and four times the potassium of refined grains (both important players in maintaining healthy blood pressure readings)
 
- Whole grain fiber plays an important role in maintaining bowel regularity.
 
While this article from www.fifty-plus.net talks about the benefits of whole grains in general, we now offer an outstanding whole-grain product known as BarleyGold. BarleyGold will, over time, detoxify every system of your body while giving you the  superior nourishment of a whole food.
 
BarleyGold is a companion product of Flax Hull Lignan, both of which are manufactured by Breakthru Seed Enhancement, utilizing their two proprietary processes for rendering the formulations 95% digestible, more stable and longer-lasting.

Remember, BarleyGold offers:

- high nutritional content

- the health benefits of whole grains

- lots of phytonutrients and other disease-fighting compounds

- soluble fiber that regulates blood sugar and decreases blood cholesterol levels

- compounds that boost the metabolic rate for weight management

- may decrease risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, diabetes and easier weight management

 - lot of antioxidants (richer than fruits and veggies)

- more magnesium and potassium than refined grains which help maintain healthy blood pressure

- a natural inflammatory process which may help in controlling symptoms of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and colitis

- helps build strength and stamina for athletes 

Newsletter Notes

- Drum Roll (grins): The first product that we want to tell you about is a 100% Certified Organic Barley Powder. Please understand that we are not just talking about ground-up barley grain. The barley has been sprouted in a very special way, dried and then ground so that the full spectrum of nutrients is 95% to 98% bio-available for you. As an insight, during the Roman times, the gladiators were known as the "barley men."
 
There are four or five patented processes involved in creation of this product, and these processes are not available to any other suppliers of barley. To be sure, there are many barley products available, and I just want you to know that what we will be offering is dramatically superior to ANY other product out there. 
 
At this point, I am still not fully up on the science and biology behind this product, so I have prepared another FREE CD that we will send to you to start the education process. A. prepared an hour-long interview with one of the developers of the Barley processes and product. I have already listened to it several times, and you will want to also, because it is so jammed full of information and insight. I promise you that it will be worth your effort. There are two variations of the Barley, but the CD covers that so well, I will not even try to explain the difference.
 
The second product is derived from the hull of the Flax seed. In the hull of the Flax seed is where most of the nutritional value of flax is stored. The extremely thin hull of the seed is extracted and in the hull material is where the Flax Lignan is stored. The process of isolating the flax hull is proprietary, and as far as we know, there is only one person in the world who has figured out how to do that. Just to give you an idea of the difficulty of the task, 12 pounds of flaxseed only yields 1 ounce of the flax hull.

- Maybe as you learn more and more about these special Barley products and the Flax Hull Lignan product, you will get as excited as we are. Libby and I do have an advantage, because we have product samples with which we have been working for the last few weeks. I just want to say that I think you are going to be impressed when we finally have product available for you.

- What L. and I are realizing is that when you combine the Barley and the Flax Hull Lignans into your health regimen, there are lots of other supplements and probably even medications that you will not need to take. L. is a master dowser and every single day dowses for what supplements she needs to take that day. She is finding that the need for lots of other supplements is dropping away. The range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, etc. is extensive. What if you could just put a couple of scoops of tasty grains in a fruit smoothie and get most of what you need to maintain optimum health?

That is the program that I am really appreciating. I just can't handle stuffing in hands-full of pills and capsules, etc. Oh, I just remembered that I do throw in a healthy scoop of the Yeast Culture powder . . . that brings some more beneficial goodies to the equation. We think that a good probiotic is important, and Breakthru will have that available very soon, probably by the end of the year intuition is accurate. Stay tuned.

- There is so much to tell you about the Barley products and the Flax, too! The benefits of the Barley build slowly as your body becomes accustomed to the high nutritional benefits. Over a period of weeks and months you will experience detoxing at deeper and deeper levels. You will find that food allergies will fall away and your unhealthy cravings will begin to ease. As you slowly get accustomed to taking 2 tablespoons per day of BarleyGold, you will notice that many of the supplements you were taking might not be needed anymore, because you are getting most of what you need from the Barley . . . for many of you, that could be a huge savings. Also, you will notice that you will not need, or even want, to eat as much food, and that will be another huge savings.
 
I am finding it to be a real challenge to alter my eating habits. When I have a smoothie in the morning with 2 tablespoons of Barley Level 2, a scoop of Flax Lignan and a big scoop of Yeast Culture, I will often not really be hungry again until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. However, I am conditioned to eating by the clock instead of when I am hungry. If I follow my old pattern of lunch about 1:00 PM and dinner at about 7:00 PM, I feel like I will explode. I am finding that a later afternoon meal is all that I need.
 
Note that I am using the Barley Level 2. That is because I am an O blood type and generally need the additional protein that Level 2 offers. If you are diabetic or if you are a high performance athlete, you would also need to work with Level 2. All others should work with Level 1, and in many ways it will be more appropriate and beneficial for you. Ken Campbell, from Breakthru, tells us that if you are using Level 1, you are more likely to experience weight loss. If you are working with Level 2, you would be more likely to gain muscle mass . . . and most women would probably not like that result.

- While we were away last week, my wife began to feel like she was coming down with a cold or perhaps the flu. Considering all of our products with which she has been working, that seemed unlikely, even though all of the symptoms were there. THEN, it occurred to us that the BarleyGold was causing a detox of her lungs, and we had very strong advice from Ken Campbell at Breakthru that when you reach that stage, you should immediately stop taking the BarleyGold for seven to ten days in order to allow your body to gracefully get rid of a lot of mucus and junk in your lungs . . . otherwise, you could actually go into pneumonia from detoxing too fast. However, we had not made the connect quickly enough before she stopped, and for three or four days she was pretty "sick."

I relate this story, because it is very important for our Members who are working with the BarleyGold to understand that the BarleyGold, working together with the Flax Hull Lignan, will systematically, over two to six months or even a year, cause progressive detoxing throughout your body. Generally, the progression is first the intestine, then the kidneys, next is the liver, fourth is the circulatory system and after about six months or a year, the lungs. Please note that if you have been doing a lot of cleansing and detoxing protocols previously, that detox schedule can be much faster. 
 
Within about three weeks, she was already at the stage of detoxing her liver and had to back off of the Barley almost completely and increase her Flax Hull Lignan intake to a scoop three times a day. After about a week she was able to start working her way back up with the Barley. Getting to the final stage of detox, the lungs, only took her about two months.

In my case, I sailed right through the various detox stages until yesterday when I hit the wall and felt certain that I had the flu. It had been about three months for me. Still a short time, but then I have been using lots of the our products that help with detoxing. When my wife used her pendulum dowsing, she determined that I should be completely off of the BarleyGold for 10 days, and during that time I am to take a scoop of Flax Hull Lignan three times a day, and I am also using the Diamond V - XPC Yeast Culture. I just don't want to be without my Diamond V. I feel like it is great complement to the Barley and the Flax.

To reinforce what I have just covered, I want to quote directly from Ken Campbell regarding the lung detox. THIS IS IMPORTANT:
 
It must be noted that when the lungs are healing, you will feel like you are coming down with a bad flu bug. It is important when this happens that you go off the BarleyGold immediately as when the toxins are being thrown out of the lungs, the fluid can progress to full-blown pneumonia or bronchitis. This can be indicated by excess mucous starting to appear, and then it could go to a coughing reaction. If somebody is a smoker, it will be very noticeable . . .  large chunks of junk will start to come up from the aveoli. Once things get back to normal, start the BarleyGold at ½ rate and work back up to the full servings. Continued healing occurs throughout the body the longer you are on the product and then it acts to slow down any degeneration. For example, bone density and overall energy is increased. Myself and others have experienced changes in hearing and eyesight after 4-5 years. It is really something else when this happens. Your ecosonoid metabolism is also heightened as your body gets in tune with your brain. This is your cravings or feeling as to what and how much you want to eat.
 
This quote goes a little beyond the lung issue, but there is some really important information here that hopefully will give you a long-term idea of where we can progress to when we treat ourselves to a long-term commitment to working with the BarleyGold and the Flax Hull Lignan. I so strongly believe that the Barley and the Flax products may be the MOST important product discoveries that we have made so far. BUT, stay tuned, because we are getting so close to being able to announce two more products that are going be major complements to those two.
 
While I am on the subject of BarleyGold, you may remember that I expressed concern because I felt like too many people were ordering the Barley Level 2 product for O blood types instead of the Barley Level 1. That was because I had the impression that the O blood types were comparatively rare versus the others.  I have always heard that my blood type of O-Negative was pretty rare and thus assumed that O-Positive was also. Several Members graciously informed me that collectively, the O blood types are perhaps in the majority. I stand corrected and apologize. Now I am relieved that the order ratios between Level 1 and Level 2 are just about right, and I will adjust my product ordering to reflect that.

- I continue to be concerned that there is confusion about which BarleyGold product is appropriate for you: BarleyGold Level I or BarleyGold Level 2. That concern stems from the fact that we are selling more Level 2 than Level 1, and statistically that should not be the case. Perhaps a little background will help sort out the two products. The seed stock, genetic stock, that is used to grow and then process the BarleyGold Level 2 dates back at least 2,000 years and would probably have been the strain of barley used by the gladiators to develop strength and muscle mass. It has an extremely high protein content. People with O blood types both crave and need much more protein than the other blood types, as do high performance, competition, athletes. Frankly, I don't yet understand the importance of Level 2 for diabetics, but for now I accept it as valid and suggest that you also do so until we can expand our insight. 
 
The seed stock used to grow and produce the Level 1 BarleyGold is about 500 years old. The Level 1 product actually looks quite different from the Level 2. Level 1, indeed has a golden color to it, whereas, the Level 2 has a sort of grayish color -- the point being that the differences are really not very subtle. My understanding is that the Level 1 has a different nutritional content that makes it more potent  for the appropriate blood types, in the area of immune strengthening and weight loss. 
 
Please, please understand that Level 1 and Level 2 does not imply a hierarchy . . . one is not better than the other. Rather, one is more appropriate than the other. For instance, it is not a matter of using Level 1 until you are ready to progress to Level 2. If your body chemistry and lifestyle, etc., indicate that Level 1 is appropriate for you, then you will always stay with Level 1. And that raises another issue that Ken Campbell from Breakthru addresses lightly in response to an inquiry from a Member. 
 
The BarleyGold, and the Flax Hull Lignan, are really not the sort of products that you test out for a few weeks to see if they produce any results. Rather, they are products that produce profound results, but not overnight or in a month or two. If you will make a commitment to stick with them for the longer term, you are going to observe important improvement in your general health, your mental alertness, your energy and your resistance to diseases of all sorts. Don't tell the FDA; however, you just might start seeing some major and irreversible conditions starting to improve or even disappear. Please give yourself and your family the chance to experience the long term benefits of these products. Here are some more incentives for you . . . you will probably find that after a few months you are going to be spending a lot less on other supplements. You will be getting much of your nutritional needs met by the BarleyGold and the Flax Hull Lignan. You will also find that you are eating a lot less and thus saving lots of money in your grocery budget.

User Testimonials

Energy and Smooth Moves with Flax Hull Lignans and BarleyGold . . . I have only been taking the products for about a week now. What I am noticing so far is more energy and smoother bowel movements. I am also starting to have that healing event (detoxing). I look forward to further improvements in my wellbeing as I continue using them. VA, TX

Growing Bones at 50 with BarleyGold . . . After I started taking the BarleyGold, I immediately had a bowel cleansing. Then my sinuses began to drain, which was wonderful. Next, I began to have bone pain where the cancer had been. When I feel the bone in my forearm, the rough holes aren't as deep. It appears the bone is growing back! G.P., AB, Canada

Fibrous Healing with BarleyGold . . . After my triple by-pass and valve surgery, I became constipated from all the medication. My daughter picked me up from the hospital and gave me BarleyGold; I started at 2 tablespoons because of my extreme discomfort. Within a few days I was having regular bowel movements, and at my six-week check-up, the doctor was very pleased with me healing. Major surgery at my age (79) comes with its own set of complications. I was so relieved and pleased I decided to stay on the BarleyGold.

Allergies . . . My allergy problems were causing major difficulties in my life until I discovered the super food, Barley Gold.  Previously my diet was so limited I could eat very few fruits and vegetables.  Now I don’t even have colds any more, much less allergy problems!   Mucus started cleansing out of my head and cleaning out of my lungs after I had reached the level of taking two tablespoons daily of Barley Gold.   An intestinal cleansing began and lasted about ten days.  When I went off the product for a few days, the symptoms returned, so I won’t be going off of it again!  I have great energy now, sleep better at night, and am very happy to have found a product like Barley Gold. J.S., Australia

Sugar Craving, Sleep and Clear Skin . . . About The second thing that I noticed was that I was sleeping all night without waking. Third, I noticed how clear my skin was. I have also found this summer that I do not get the dark liver spots on my lower arm a month after I began taking BarleyGold, I noticed that I was not craving sweets. I have a life-long sweet tooth, and my body does not tolerate or wear off sugar as I have gotten older. s when I tan. J.E., Ontario, Canada
