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.
