January 18, 2021 Puzzle Piece
Homecoming Report and Current Research
Brimhall
Homecoming had and incredible turnout, even with all the restrictions
and quarantines. We had 150 there and another 50 on Livestream. It
appears, Optimal Health Systems was the only supplement company to
create any organized gathering. Everyone who attended in person or
streamed the seminar was part of something great. They took part in
keeping the positive healing energy flowing to their hometowns and to
the rest of the world.
We look forward to hearing about your miracles. We saw miracles in
Thursday night treating and throughout the weekend. What became
apparent was our Master Mind group with Dr Marc Harris, Doug Grant and
Drs John and Brett Brimhall has spread to thousands of doctors around
the world and will continue to grow with enthusiasm.
New research was presented on the need for a correct biome. We now
understand it is a most important part of our overall and immune
health. Doug Grant said, “My secret to landing contracts with sports
teams over the years was a very specific flora blitz regimen. It was the
secret sauce. I always talked about digestion, blood work, and
nutrients, but a flora blitz was what enabled me to help athletes’ other
nutritionists couldn't help.
“When I had a reputation built up, I started teaching about this flora
concept to the public. It was the difference-maker for people achieving
success with losing weight, staying on healthy eating plans, fixing
cravings, and overcoming conditions.”
“People would struggle to overcome the ill effects or antibiotics,
anesthesia and surgery when left to their own devices. Their friendly
bacteria were destroyed. They never felt 100% better. I’d give them a
flora blitz and they’d finally get better, feel better, finally lose
weight and more.”
“That’s what people ask me: what’s the number one thing I can do to feel better? I tell them to take the 21-Day Blitz Challenge.”
This challenge covers two main things:
- Better digestion
- Creates a healthy gut
You’ll finally feel better and improve your health if you’re digesting
everything properly, and your gut microbiome is flourishing with
friendly bacteria. You feel better because your body is producing more
serotonin. 90% of serotonin production happens in the gut.
Unhealthy Guts Are the Norm Currently
Therefore, this is the ultimate time to go onto the 21-Day Blitz Challenge.
Out of any time of the year, we’re coming out of the time people are
eat the worst. Even healthy people often eat junk food over the
holidays.
Success Is In the Details
There is true story about a guy digging for a gold vein and quits after
digging hundreds of feet. Then someone else comes along, digs three more
feet, and finds the gold. That is often what happens: people quit
right before hitting success. People will eat healthier and start
exercising, but before the full benefits kick in, they quit. This is
often triggered by feeling a little bit worse with initial
detoxification.
The body seeks Homeostasis or a place of balance. We as humans crave
balance. When we get in the habit of eating junk food all the time, it
becomes our new homeostasis. When we are correcting bad habits, it will
seem out of balance for a time. Even an alcoholic can feel worse when
they quit drinking alcohol. They fell out of balance/homeostasis. To
heal, sometimes you must feel worse before you feel and get better with a
new healthy homeostasis.
Knowing all of this, OHS created the 21-Day Blitz Challenge.
Learning from the Probiotic Guru
At Homecoming Doug mentioned his mentor the late Dr. Khem Shahani, an
expert on probiotics who was way ahead of his time. He has over 300 peer
review studies on his life’s work showing which bacteria you need in
different sections of your gut, and what they do. Doug spent 21 years
working with Dr Shahani, who assisted in creating the blends for Flora Blitz 100, Flora Plus, and the 21-Day Blitz Challenge.
He even talked about the gut-brain axis decades before it was accepted
and became mainstream information. What he explained was the bacteria in
your gut have a direct line of communication up to the brain, separate
from everything else--the gut-brain axis. It is an actual physical line
called the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve travels from
the gut, through the stomach, up the larynx and into the brain. It is an
actual system separate from everything else. That gut feeling is a real
thing. This understanding gives the gut-brain axis a whole new meaning.
These bacteria tell your brain what your body is craving. Many times,
what these bacteria want is not good. They are like little kids. If you
give them candy, they want more candy. One detail about unhealthy food
cravings is how short lived the pleasure is. If you feed them healthy
foods and nutraceuticals, they want more healthy foods. These bacteria
will manipulate your eating habits.
90% of serotonin is made in the gut. If your gut is happy and healthy,
you feel happy and healthy. Friendly bacteria determine the amount of
serotonin produced. The gut and how you treat it is everything to your
physical and emotional wellbeing.
A Few Snippets of Research
Probiotics have been shown to eliminate depression and anxiety and have
even been shown to alleviate ADHD. When people experience anxiety, we
need to add the correct bacteria. OHS’s probiotics have the correct
bacteria for the Large and Small Intestines.
Some bacteria make B vitamins, which become deficient during periods of
anxiety. Other bacteria make lactase, another section makes antibiotics,
and others play a major role in immune function, and the list goes on
and on. Each of the bacteria have different jobs. There are thousands of
research studies showing that the bacteria in your gut determine what
you crave. Just google “bacteria and cravings studies.” The answer to
many problems may be Flora Blitz 100, which contains all nine core
strains of probiotics needed and in the correct amounts.
So Why 21 Days?
Taste buds live only 10 days. During the 21-Day Blitz Challenge, you go through two sets of taste buds, so on that 21st day--whatever you have eaten over those 20 days-- becomes a habit.
Stay off all the unhealthy foods for 20 days, on that 21st day, it’s now
a programmed habit. That third set of taste buds now craves good
healthy choices. One interesting detail of this challenge is the
checkoff list you do daily. This is a critical part of the approach to
breaking bad habits. Physically checking off the list each day is the
difference between great success and mediocre results.
The 21-Day Blitz Challenge should be
everyone’s starting point to break the unhealthy cycle and feel better
physically, mentally, and emotionally. Do this 21day reset.
Why OHS Probiotics Over Anyone Else’s
You used to have to buy refrigerated probiotics. You don’t have to do
that with our patented blend. It is stabilized to survive the acidity of
the stomach, body heat, and the rigors of production, shipping, and
being on the shelf. Thanks to Dr. Shahani, our probiotics are robust
and get absorbed. We also take it one step farther by feeding the
probiotics as they make the journey into the gut.
This kit utilizes 100 billion CFU of friendly flora to reprogram your
cravings to desire healthier foods and strengthen your mindset by
encouraging the release of serotonin. The kit also includes Optimal 1
Digestion, a convenient pill pouch, drawstring bag, and a booklet that
guides you through seven life-changing rules that can transform your
health for life.
This powerful product delivers a surge of healthy bacteria to kill off
the bad bacteria triggering the unhealthy cravings, along with creates a
blank microbiome slate. This allows you to jump back on the healthy
food wagon and give yourself a chance to develop permanent, healthy
dietary habits.

July 31 2017 Puzzle Piece - Cannabis Orally and Topically
Cannabis Orally and Topically
July 31, 2017 Puzzle Piece
CBD oil can be effectively taken orally or by being applied topically.
It is a shame Cannabis has been given such a bad name and bad
press because recreation users utilize the THC in it; the plant that
causes them to get a buzz or be able to space out.
In the CBD products, the THC is removed and the end product has been found effective in almost everything it seems:
Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Diabetes, Seizures, Epilepsy,
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammation, Acute/Chronic Pain, Sleep Disorders,
PTSD, MS, Alcoholism etc. Symptoms have shown improvement in many
people.
Look at this previous Puzzle Piece
attached in case you missed it. It is of my personal experience of
topical use on a skin cancer. It is totally resolved at this time.
I have used CBD Oil on my face, hands and basically anywhere there
is skin. I have seen rashes disappear very rapidly. Pain and
irritations get better or totally clear up with topical application of
the MagnaNutrients CBD oil.
For even better, quicker and more long lasting results, I will
many times place a Band-Aid over the area to allow the oil to stay
longer.
New methods of cannabis consumption and preparation are bringing
us further away from the notion that marijuana belongs solely in a bong
or joint. It is incredibly effective for health and wellness when
removing the THC. This removes the chance of anyone getting a high.
This revolution of perceptions of marijuana use changes the
accessibility, safety, and efficacy, which invites even the most
unlikely patrons into the world of medical cannabis.
How Does the CBD-Infused Topical or Oral work?
The ointment is made by infusing high-quality hemp in some kind of
quality oil—coconut or olive typically—which extracts the active
compounds of CBD. This oil is then blended with other therapeutic herbs,
like arnica or lemongrass essential oils and peppermint that are well
known pain relievers.
Give it a try!

May 13, 2019 - You Need NADH for a Healthy Immune System
You Need NADH for a Healthy Immune System
May 13, 2019 Puzzle Piece
NADH
stands for "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H)."
This chemical occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in the
chemical process that generates energy.
NADH is the fuel for cellular energy production (ATP). Without
ATP, cells die. Much of your immune system is dependent on the presence
of white blood cells. If WBC’s do not have enough energy to do their
work, the immune system is greatly compromised.
NADH and Your Immune System
A subgroup of white blood cells, called macrophages are
responsible for the direct elimination of foreign bodies such as
bacteria or viruses. They take them in and degrade them, a process
comparable to eating and digesting. They’re like the Pac Man of your
immune system.
According to George Birkmayer, M.D., Ph.D., “When foreign agents
such as bacteria or viruses enter the body, the metabolic activity,
including oxygen consumption of these eating cells, is markedly
increased. Oxygen is converted to superoxide which destroys these
bacteria and viruses. During this oxygen activation, high amounts of
NADH are consumed. Hence the more NADH the human organism has available,
the better the immune system works.”
The more energy your white blood cells have available to function
at peak performance, the better they can fight off bacteria, viruses and
free radicals.
Dr. Harris’s Essential NADH
Essential NADH is a stable and bioavailable coenzyme that helps
promote cellular energy production and provides nutritional
neurotransmitter support. If you and your immune system are low on
energy, this pure, potent blend of highly bioavailable NADH may be the
answer to increase your cellular energy, which helps reduce viruses and
harmful bacteria. Essential NADH also improves the epigenetic
expression of many genetic SNPs.
Dr Marc Harris teaches classes on testing for genetic SNPs that
compromise our body's optimal function, including NADH production and
function. Please take his class to learn how to test yourself, your
family and your patients. This knowledge and ability may be the missing
component to take a person to a new level of health and wellness.
For Instance, Specific SNP’s that improve Epigenetics Expression with Essential NADH Supplementation:
IDO 1 & 2 affect inflammation in the Brain and Gut and cause poor NAD Production.
ACHY Increases Homocysteine, which responds to Essential NADH
MT ND1 Affects Mitochondrial Health, which improves with Essential NADH
MT ND2 Affects Mitochondrial Health, which improves with Essential NADH

May 2, 2022 - Ubiquinol in Heart Health, Stress & Anxiety
Ubiquinol in Heart Health, Stress & Anxiety
May 2, 2022 Puzzle Piece
Ubiquinol
is often associated with heart health, which is 100% accurate.
Ubiquinol excels at aiding cellular energy production. “In addition to
its critical role in energy production, it is one of the most powerful
known lipid-soluble antioxidants available, protecting the body’s cells
from damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals.”
One published paper on severe life stress and oxidative stress on the
brain said, “Numerous studies have attempted to understand how the
central nervous system (CNS) responds to [chronic stress]. This response
includes a variety of morphological and neurochemical modifications;
among them, oxidative stress is almost invariably observed.”
Your body has multiple ways to combat stress, but the problem is they grow less efficient with age. We have Opti-Adrenal and Opti-Methyl B to assist with nutritional support. What you may not know, is we have Essential Ubiquinol as a powerful nutritional asset also, along with Opti-Brain to support the brain directly.
Ubiquinol as a Natural Antidepressant
Ubiquinol is commonly referred to as CoQ10, which is also known as
ubiquinone. Your body takes ubiquinone and converts it to ubiquinol for
use. Much research has demonstrated the benefits of CoQ10 as
ubiquinone.
In a 2013 paper in the journal Pharmacological Biochemical Behavior, Dr.
Aboul-Fotouh showed “antidepressant-like” activity in rats treated with
a heavy regimen of CoQ10. Dr. Aboul-Fotouh knew that depression is
accompanied by oxidative stress and a compromised ability to produce
antioxidants.
What Dr Marc Harris and OHS has done is take the
conversion step from ubiquinone to ubiquinol, therefore taking away a
lot of the work from an already stressed body to give a nutrient in its
readily bioavailable form.
A 2016 article in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience examined the
effect of adding CoQ10 supplementation for treating fatigue and
depression in patients with multiple sclerosis. A group of 48 patients
with multiple sclerosis were randomized to receive either a placebo or
500 mg of a CoQ10 supplement daily for 12 weeks.
Over the course of the study, patients taking CoQ10 showed a decrease in
fatigue and depression, while the placebo group showed an increase in
symptoms. The researchers concluded that CoQ10 may be beneficial in
helping treat mood issues that often accompany multiple sclerosis.3
A more recent 2018 article in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology
examined the effectiveness of CoQ10 supplementation in treating the
depression cycle in bipolar disorder, which may be linked to oxidative
stress.4
A group of 69 patients, with bipolar disorder, and who were undergoing a
depressive episode, were randomized to receive either 200 mg per day of
a CoQ10 supplement or a placebo for eight weeks. Any mood stabilizing
medications remained the same for the duration of the study.
Patients in both groups showed a decrease in symptoms of depression over
time, but the group taking CoQ10 showed better response at the end of
eight weeks treatment.
Ubiquinol is found in every cell of your body. When you have a tired and
stressed body, it’s going to struggle to convert CoQ10 into ubiquinol,
which makes you feel even more tired. When you supplement with the
readily bioavailable form, ubiquinol, you get a healthy dose of
dis-ease-fighting and anti-aging antioxidants.
More recent research shows this antioxidant may also help improve symptoms of mood disorders.
Ubiquinol and Headaches
Stress and anxiety tend to cause headaches, even migraines. Abnormal
mitochondrial function can lead to an increased calcium uptake by the
cells. This leads to the excessive production of free radicals and
decreased antioxidant protection, thus causing low energy in brain cells
and even migraines. Opti-Brain supports the brain, while Opti-MitoForce supports the mitochondria, and Essential Ubiquinol gives antioxidant and further nutritional protection.
Since CoQ10 is mainly in the mitochondria of the cells, it has been
shown to improve mitochondrial function and help decrease the
inflammation that may occur during migraines. A study showed that
supplementing with CoQ10 was three times more likely than a placebo to
reduce the number of migraines in 42 people.
One larger study showed that 1,550 people with low CoQ10 levels
experienced fewer and less severe headaches after treatment with CoQ10.
Imagine if these studies were done with Essential Ubiquinol...
Dr. Harris’s Essential Ubiquinol in summary:
Ubiquinol plays an important role in maintaining cardiovascular health.
Essential Ubiquinol is a highly bioavailable form of this nutrient and
is essential (thus its name) for proper cardiovascular support and
protection from oxidative stress. This may be the nutritional aid you,
your family and/or your patients need to find relief from stress and
anxiety to support the Six Steps to Wellness you provide.
Dosing: Take one soft gel daily or as directed by a health professional.
