Printed From a Live
Recorded Conference With Malibu Naturals Nutritionist, Keith Klein.
First of all I’d like to thank you so much
for being here tonight to listen to what I have to say because
this is an opportunity that I’ve been looking for for a long time.
I’ve been in the field of dietetics for 23
years and it’s not just my life, it’s my passion.
I look around me and I’m sure you can attest
to this when you look around you, whether its family members or
friends or co-workers, you see illness all around
you. Maybe you are suffering from some illness yourself.
I also understand when I look
around me, that so many people are out there looking for
information and in fact, are starving for it.
Yet when I see how the
media gives out information
it almost
makes me want to gag.
Because when you watch the news, and trust me I
understand this, I do the local health report
down here in Houston. I understand that in the scope and the timeframe of
what they have in the news and in the media, that they have just
a few short seconds and minutes to dispense information.
What makes me so sad is that the
information is often distorted, lacking in detail and facts we
need to know.
So what I’ve done, and what I’ve been doing in my career is really
educating people.
And what my passion revolves around and what I
do in the clinic here called the Institute of Eating
Management is...
...Look, it's not just about being able to sell products folks,
its about actually being able to have a product that is so
good that you love what you’re giving to other people and what
you’re doing for other people.
And that’s what I do for a living. I am very
passionate about spending my day making an impact in the lives of
other people.
And if someone asks me what my sense of purpose in
being here with Malibu Naturals is, that’s it. I’ve made my life and have made my
career revolve around making an impact in the lives of other
people.
I think many of you, when you walk into a
vitamin store, are confused.
And we're confused because
we read all these different pieces of information in magazines
about what one supplement does, and it’s often written in such a
vested interest way that we’re being manipulated without even
knowing it.
When we walk into a health food store, and we
want to buy a vitamin and the vitamin clerk recommends something
to us, How do we know they’re educated?
A lot of times the
information they’re giving us is often based on information they
learned from the very the Company that benefits from them selling
us the supplement.
So, needless to say, I think that when we
walk into those vitamin stores, were hit with twelve letter words
that would probably perplex a National Spelling Bee champ.
I want to make things simple for you.
I am also a radio talk show host in Houston
and have been for 8 years. Everyday I’m answering questions
on the radio, complex questions like, “I got this disease and
I’m on these medications…”
I’ve made it my life’s work not just to
understand supplements, but what medications interfere with
certain supplements and what supplements may interfere with
certain medications. When I sat down to design a product line I
really wanted to consider that factor.
What
I’ve seen first hand over and over again is what good nutrition
can do for people.
If you’ve ever had somebody that you know
or you yourself, or a family member, that has succumbed to any
type of illness, and discovered through your own way of changing
your diet and nutrition how to make such a big difference, (and I
don’t care if it Acid Reflux or cancer), I’ve seen such
miraculous things happen through nutrition and yet,
It’s taking
forever for the Medical Community to catch up to this.
But what’s so great about where we live today
and the times that were living in today, is finally the medical
world is starting to recognize that Nutrition and Alternative
Therapies are a very valid approach to many of life’s diseases and
problems.
This is something that I’ve put together that I
want to explain to you tonight, to share part of my vision on
where this Company is going. And that is this:
Without
good information any attempt you make to change your health can
only result in failure or lack of change because of bad
information.
So what I’m all about is this:
I combine a mixture
of psychology, with motivation, along with nutritional knowledge.
I’m not just somebody who possesses book knowledge, but I can actually
can walk the walk and talk the talk. I’m a competitive athlete
and I work with some of the top athletes in the world.
I’ve taken a look at what most families suffer
from the most in terms of certain health diseases and at the same
time I had to decide how can I effect and impact, with Malibu
Naturals, the health of the entire family.
The problem with a
multi-vitamin as I see it, is this:
Most multi-vitamins you can’t fit everything
into it. At least not to meet the daily requirements of most
people. And furthermore you can’t fit everything it in with
the right balance and ratio to create a tablet that anybody could
swallow.
So when I started designing a product for
the family there were a couple things I wanted to consider. Many
of you may have heard the sugar CD that we did at one of the
conventions, when I talked about the acid based balance of the
blood.
What I tend to believe is that a lot of people
in
America
tend to live a very acidic lifestyle.
And it’s a very unhealthy
lifestyle.
To become acidic, these are some of the
things we do:
-
We drink too much coffee or iced tea
-
We don’t drink enough water
-
We skip meals
-
We over exercise
-
We take in other things like alcohol,
caffeine, cigarette smoke, second hand smoke, air pollution.
These things can contribute to an acidic
lifestyle. Internally, our bodies get very acidic.
When that happens, there are several things that begin to take
place.
Keep in mind, the PH balance of your blood
has to stay normal. If your body becomes too acidic, you die.
If it becomes too alkaline, you die.
This is also a great example of
how taking one single nutrient can make a big difference in
balancing out the system:
What I see in the industry when people start
talking about the acid based balance, is that they become
fanatical. I’m not talking about fanaticism at all here, I’m
just talking about basic body chemistry and physiology.
When you take the acid based balance of the
blood, and you disrupt it one way or another, you create poor
health.
Think about some of these
diseases that are based on living acidic lifestyles:
If you suffer from acid reflux, that’s a
great example of an acidic lifestyle.
When you think of ulcers we think about
bacteria, but we also realize, that’s part of an acidic lifestyle.
We can think of things like colitis and IBS
(irritable bowel syndrome) and inflammation ... taking in too much
of an acidic lifestyle can contribute to certain diseases.
When you follow the Atkin’s diet, WHAT
is acidosis?
Acidosis is becoming more acid than alkaline!
When we do things like that to ourselves,
there is no immediate threat because the body is a survivor.
But when you have a
disruption of the PH based balanced in the blood toward the
acidity level for too long, here’s ONE thing that can happen:
When the acid gets high, the body will
buffer the blood.
In order for your body to keep buffered, it uses
calcium ions to buffer the
blood.
It does that so the PH based balance won’t get
out of whack. So whenever we draw your blood, your PH based
balance will always turn out to be normal.
Furthermore, in most cases, when we draw your
blood, you’ll see that your calcium levels are always going
to stay within a pretty close normal range.
If any of these nutrients gets too far
out of whack, they can cause death. If your diet is just slightly deficient in
calcium, and those needs aren’t being met,
your body has to buffer
the blood.
Where your body gets that calcium
from is your bones.
What happens over the course of time is the body releases tremendous amounts of calcium out of the bone,
and now the doctors going to tell you, you have osteoporosis
just because of genetics.
What most people don’t realize is that an
acidic lifestyle can greatly exasperate that condition.
And
that just one example of not having enough of one single nutrient.
We call them sub clinical deficiencies.
So how do you know your diet is meeting
all the needs?
Just recently, I’m mystified that this just had
to happen recently, The American Journal finally came out to say,
“Ya know Americans can benefit from taking a multi-vitamin.”
I don’t know how many of you have encountered a dietitian
or a doctor who says, “no, you can get everything from the food
you eat.”
Well let me tell you, after counseling people
for 23 years, I don’t see very many people who eat right.
And I don’t see very many people get all the nutrients they need
in their diet.
So the question became, can we design a
vitamin program that considers many different aspects of the
family unit because what I’m interested in is helping America get
healthy, even it’s one family at a time, that’s what I wanted to
put together.
I also look at other supplements out there.
People are getting the impression when you start taking mega
doses of vitamins you’re somehow going to be healthier.
And that is so wrong.
Do you realize that when you take too much
zinc, and zinc is a valuable and beneficial supplement
to the immune system, but when you go over 50 milligrams per day
it depletes copper and actually decreases your immune system.
So now a person in their effort to become
healthy, starts taking too much zinc, and actually decreases their
immune system response. In this particular product I
balanced the zinc so as to meet our daily requirements a little
bit more but not go over the requirements of zinc that can
actually be harmful.
I think that a lot of people with acid reflux
do not understand or realize that by taking vitamin C it makes
their acid reflux worse.
I did something else. In today’s iron fortified
world, I think about the deaths that occur in children today when
they get a hold of their parents vitamins.
There’s
literally thousands of deaths each year to children who overdose
from getting a hold of their parents vitamins just simply due to
the iron that was in the vitamin.
Iron is a highly toxic metal, and when we take
too much or get too much, particularly in men, it has a very
corrosive effect. And we know that in men who carry too much iron
it can cause liver disease, it can cause heart attacks,
arrhythmias, and it’s stored in the vital organs, and has a very
corrosive effect.
We also know that there’s certain people and
today when you look at the increase of hepatitis C, cirrhosis, and
people with liver diseases, the worst supplement they could be
taking is getting too much iron.
So in this product what I wanted to do was
design and put together a product that had a complete foundation
of what I consider to be a healthy foundation of supplementation.
With just a few tablets, what I’ve put together
is something that does not contain vitamin A from retinol, because
that can cause birth defects, I made it all come from the
class of beta carotene and carotenoids.
When we put together this formula it was
designed to be put together for the whole family. We designed it
so that there can be multiple packets that can be used because, if
you’re an athlete and you need more nutrients, then you can take 2
or 3 of these packets. If you’re a child or a teenager, you only
need one. If you’re a regular weekend warrior and an adult you
can take one in the morning and one at night.
What we designed is a program that has
a multi approach for the entire family.
Instead of having an athlete in the family
have to go out and buy one bunch of vitamins, and an elderly
individual have to go out and get another bunch of vitamins, I
formulated it so that it would work in the entire family unit and
consider most of the diseases that we see in families today.
For example, what I did was
buffer the
entire thing.
I designed it so it was buffered with calcium
phosphates and potassium phosphates to help decrease that acidity
problem that we see, that is often brought on just by the
supplements people take. It
helps to buffer the blood.
We’ve also done something very unique and I’m
very proud of this, we’ve used a phase control gel metrix that
really helps the absorption and it gives it a time release quality
so that the nutrients can be released at the brush border membrane
of the intestinal tract where they get absorbed, instead of right
there in the stomach or the gut.
How many of you have ever taken a B Complex
and noticed that your urine could glow in the dark?
We’ve time released the B-Complex and put in
just the right amount and didn't overwhelm this thing with so much
B-complex that you’re just wasting your money.
Everything and every effort that went into this
program and the design of this product was to balance the vitamins and
minerals together to create a better absorption rate.
Because after all,
It’s not what you take, it’s really,
what can your body use.
There are a lot of people that are on blood
thinners today that had strokes and heart attacks. I
specifically left certain nutrients out that would make that problem
worse because these people can’t take multi-vitamins. If you’re about to go in for surgery you don’t want to take a lot of vitamin A.
Basically, I made this thing really
complete but what I also want you to know
is this:
I’m not going to scam any of you
and do what I see is going on in the industry today.
If Ginkgo Biloba’s popular, what you’re going
to see a multi-vitamin do is tossing ginkgo biloba so they can
advertise it in great big huge letters. You’re going to see
supplement Companies where lutein, that’s good for your eyes,
they're going to put it in great big letters that it contains
lutein.
But what they’re not going to tell you
honestly folks is that the amounts that they’ve added to those
formulas are so insignificant that it won’t make a bit of
difference for your overall health.
So that’s something that I wanted to avoid
entirely. Not to create a formula that will scam you, but
one that creates an incredible sound foundation of good
supplementation
so people can use this in any way they want.
From athletes to the elderly to the children,
the entire family now has a multi-vitamin that is designed
for the entire family. Instead of for just the old, or just the
young or just the women, and I’m pretty excited about all of that.
People who have other problems like nerve
damage or neuropathy, taking too much B-6 can actually make that
worse. I tried to go across the board when I designed this thing,
to make sure that the nutrients anybody can use.
This way, people don’t have to go to their
doctor and say “now that I’m on these medications, do I have to
stop taking these vitamins?”
It’s really that good of a formula that you
don’t have to have those concerns about this interfering with
anything.
If you’re about to have surgery you do have to
stop taking vitamin E because it acts as a blood thinner, but the
cool thing about this great formula that has a great array of
nutrients which is great for the entire family.
Sugar also contributes to an acidic
lifestyle.
If I have somebody with acid reflux one of
the first things we have to do is try to pull back on the amount
of sugar that they eat.
When we look at the fast majority of problems
Americans are faced with today I can’t pin point any one problem
and say, “Well its all because of sugar.”
But I can tell you that a lot of America’s
obesity, tooth decay, and diabetes, particularly type 2, which we
used to think was a genetic disorder. We now discovered it’s
really a lifestyle disorder and it’s all brought on by excessive
sugar consumption.
When someone eats too much sugar it illicits
an insulin response and when this insulin response happens the
insulin takes the sugar to be dropped into cells and be used as
energy.
But because there’s too much sugar, now we’ve
got an excess of insulin floating around and it starts to
synthesize that excess sugar into fat, which is known as a
triglyceride.
Almost everybody’s body fat is stored in the
form of triglycerides, and that also contributes to heart disease.
So with the Sugar Blocker Gum, it is really
an invention to help people shave back on the amount of sugar they
consume. But also helps during dieting, during PMS or any
other time to help reduce the cravings for sugar.
It’s made with an all natural herb and
anytime that you chew this gum it blocks your ability to taste
sugar. It was designed as an
Aversion Therapy tool to help reduce the amount of sugar
people are consuming and eating.
And another thing about the Everyday Complete formula or one of the big things I added to this formula is a
higher level of essential fatty acids that have an
anti inflammatory effect on the whole body.
These are fats that we need in our diet and
Americans don’t get enough of them. This helps the
inflammation of everything from the joints, ligaments, the
tendons, to even the cardiovascular system and helps decrease
inflammation in the body.
When we put together the Everyday Complete, it
was
really cool because it doesn’t just have vitamins and minerals, but
it has a terrific array of essential fatty acids as well.
You also don’t run the risk of buying synthetic
vitamin E with the synthetic iron and having those two bond each other
to get reduced absorption. All that’s been taken care of.
They come in easy to carry packets and you have
to take them with food. So if you want to take them at lunch you
can. If you want to put them in your purse, or your briefcase or if
your on the road, you don’t have to get lost in all of those
different bottles.
This has been designed to be very easy to use
and also extremely easy to remember to take. Leave a handful in
your drawer at work so if you forget to take them at breakfast you
will have them at lunch because they’re right there in your desk.
They will come in individually wrapped
packets, some will be tablets and others will be in gel cap form.
The vitamin E and essential fatty acids will come in the oil form.
On top of that, the vitamin C is not an oil
form, it’s a buffer form. And we actually added in a lot of
the bioflavenoid complexes which are also know as Vitamin P which
strengthen the cells.
When we put together the oil form of vitamin E,
I didn’t just put the D-alpha, which is the natural form of E, I
mixed it with the other tycoxerals; the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and the
Delta, because that has greater antioxidant activity which means
that one could take a little bit less of this vitamin E and get a
greater benefit than if they were to take a synthetic vitamin E
without all the mixed trycoferols.
Also about the essential fatty acids:
We didn’t
just put one in there like flax seed oil, we put the alpha lynolayic acid, we put the EPA, the DHA, the Omega 6, the Omega 3’s
in there and that’s pretty cool too.
You will be instructed to take these packets
based on your age and lifestyle.
We have athletes, pro boxers for example, who
are work out all day long, we also have young athletes who are
gymnasts and in the gym for 5 to 6 hours at a time. As a
professional body builder I would definitely be using 3 packets a
day. For children 13 to 17 it depends on the sports.
It is going to
help the health of the family from the youngest to the oldest.
So in every which way possible we could
think of we put together this formula to contain a select amount
of nutrients that I feel and am very proud to say is one of the
best formulas that I’ve seen on the market today.
This is something that I wanted to explain to you tonight, to share my part of the vision
on where this Company is going.
What I would really like to see happen with
this Company, and part of the vision, is to not only to have great
products, but to have we ourselves become educators.
And that we get
educated
on how start with us first.
Because if you can start
with you first and see a difference and you can really
improve your energy and sense of vitality, then personally, I think we all deserve that.
