3) Vinpocetine is a semi-synthetic derivative of vincamine. Vincamine is an alkaloid derived from plant Vinca minor L., a member of periwinkle family. Vinpocetine, as well as vincamine, are used in Europe, Japan and Mexico as pharmaceutical agents for treatment of cerebrovascular and cognitive disorders. In United States, vinpocetine is marketed as a dietary supplement.

4) Bioperine is a patented extract of black pepper and long pepper berries harvested in India. Bioperine's value is that it has been established to enhance bioavailibility of certain supplements through increased absorption. In other words, when combined with Bioperine, numerous vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti oxidants are more efficiently absorbed and utilized in body.

5) Thyrotrem™ is assigned name of proprietary blend of thyroid boosting components in Lipoxinol formula (Guggulsterones, Sclareolide and Kelp). Thyrotrem™ represents one of most powerful synergistic blends that can be found in any weight loss product:

a) Guggulsterones have been shown in studies to drastically reduce cholesterol levels, improve acne conditions, and increase thyroid hormone levels (thus greatly increasing fat loss).

b) Sclareolide is a patented extract from Clary Sage plant. Sclareolide has been shown to increase thyroid hormone production. Since thyroid is responsible for metabolic rate via hormones it releases, increased output of thyroid results in an increase in metabolism. Sclereolide has also been shown to help build lean body mass while reducing body fat-all without a cardiovascular stimulant effect. c) Kelp is an especially good source of iodine. Iodine is essential for thyroid function and this is probably where idea that kelp can speed up metabolism originated.

After thoroughly reviewing Lipoxinol product I have to admit it, Lipoxinol is simply a great weight loss formula. I definitely would recommend this product as a top notch thermogenic fat burner.

In 1980's my family and I moved to Vancouver Island. It was at this time that I started to see a Naturopath, he helped me to stay alive, and care for my body with use of herbal products, and a healthy diet. Dealing with Epilepsy in my life added a lot of extra stress. Fortunately for me I had been doing Yoga for a number of years, and this helped deal with stress.

When I was in my fifties and living in Kamloops, I had a blackout on main street. I was taken to hospital in ambulance and referred to a neurologist. He was first person to tell me about possibilities of having surgery to cure my Epilepsy. He was trying to convince me to take tests, and see if I was a candidate for surgery. He felt that I had a chance to see life as a normal person. I spent years weighing pro's and cons of surgery. It was very difficult to imagine my life any different, I had lived in a fog for so many years.

In June 2002, I got up in morning to make coffee, while I was standing at sink I blacked out. When I came to, I crawled to living room, blacked out again, awoke and blacked out for third time. I was taken to hospital in ambulance. I felt like I had experienced a heart attack. I had bruised my chest when I fell, and all my ribs ached.

I was then convinced to see neurologist, in Vancouver, where surgery called a “Craniotomy” could be done. Before surgery could be done I had to pass a barrage of tests, I passed them without a problem. I was also given a complete explanation of surgery. I was warned about possible side effects that I could experience from surgery. Some of side effects that could happen when I underwent surgery were, blindness, paralysis, and or a stroke. There was no guarantee that surgery would be successful . Although I was older, I was given approval for surgery, they said my good physical condition, played a part in their decision.

At age of 61 years old I had brain surgery. From time I came out of surgery, there were many things I needed to adjust to, I had to learn many simple things all over again, and I needed to learn new skills.( some of these things are simple things that most people take for granted). I needed to adjust to new way of life.

I had to learn difference between night and day, now I sleep when it is dark.

I was to start exercising as soon as possible after surgery. I was to walk for 20 minutes every day even in rain or snow. The exercise helped get body working again.

I taught myself to manage stress differently, my Yoga is part of stress management.

I took vitamins and minerals, to help me recover and to clean my body from side effects, of all drugs I took to prevent seizure's.

I seldom remember difficult times. I walk a lot now, because it is one of my stress releases. I have lost 20 pound. My jean size has dropped from size 12 to size 8. My upper legs were 40 inches around, and now they are 24 inches. I can drive a car, and lead a normal life. If I get upset or angry I can speak my mind with feelings. I'm very confident for first time in my life.

I feel I couldn't have made this wonderful recovery with out help of, my chiropractor, counselor, herbal supplements, Neurosurgeon, staff of brain department of Vancouver General Hospital, and my husband John who supplied support and security I needed.

These challenges have made me a strong, confident person. My new life is challenging and full of new experiences. I am grateful for this new way of life.

I feel that without surgery I might not be alive today. Today I am living for moment. Loving my life is my reward.
