Workplace health enhanced by offering spirulina supplements to employees; larger studies could show reduction in health insurance costs for employers !!
Mike:What do you see as the big trends as far as the market penetration of spirulina and recognition around the globe -- what are the big issues here?Gerry:Well, surprisingly, spirulina is a mature product in the health food area, and the market has been relatively stable, I think over the last 10 years. However, over the last 2 years, we've seen actually a growth in demand for spirulina. And we have not been sure why until we started doing some more work with some of our Asian customers, and it turns out that because of the immune-enhancing properties ofspirulina, there's a large consumption of spirulina inAsia, including China, because of the SARS outbreak.
Mike:Well that's interesting.
Gerry:And so people are recognizing that taking spirulina can keep you healthy.
Mike:Imagine that! Well, I should add, in my own experience, I think I've been sick only once in the last 7 years, and I don't do vaccinations or any of that. I rely exclusively onsuperfoodsnutrition, which includes spirulina, and I'm sure the people in your company, Gerry, they take spirulina as well, right?
Gerry:Absolutely, as a matter of fact, we give out two bottles a month to ouremployees!
Mike:Great!
Gerry:Cyanotech, after it started up, actually we were founded in 1983, so we've been here over 21 years, but it wasn't until 1989 that we actually started producing tablets and started selling our spirulina through Nutrex. And so it was rather hard for our associates working here to take spirulina, but when we started producing our Nutrexproducts, we started giving out free bottles to the associates, and the amount of time spent off work for sicknesses declined greatly after it was widely available to everyone working here, and it declined so much that ourhealth insurancewent down.
Mike:Well now there's an interesting theme right there --companiescould be giving this to their employees and saving money and savinghealth care costsall at the same time.
Gerry:That's what we experienced.
Mike:Very interesting. I'd sure be interested to find out what would happen on a larger scale, if a Fortune 500 company were willing to take that as a case study.
Gerry:Yes, and actually we've got an interest in trying to do that with some large company with our Bioastin product as well, forcarpal tunnel syndrome, or repetitive stress injuries, which is a very expensive item for large companies.
Mike:Oh, indeed, especially in the software and high-tech industries, sitting at a keyboard all day, typing away is not great for your wrists. What aboutvegetarians? I know a lot of vegetarians use spirulina religiously -- why are they doing that?
Gerry:Well, spirulina is certainly a good source ofprotein, it contains all the essentialamino acids, it's also a very good source ofvitamin B-12, something that is difficult for vegetarians to get from other sources. And certainly as with everyone, it's a great source of antioxidant carotenoid.
Mike:So, just back to that vitamin B-12, to let people know, that's more traditionally derived from animal proteins.
Gerry:That's correct.
Mike:And as a complete protein, spirulina beats beans or rice or other protein sources that don't have all the amino acids.
Gerry:That's correct.
Mike:I don't mean to be putting words in your mouth, Gerry, I'm just trying to explain to everyone why that's such a big deal.
Gerry:No, I appreciate your input.
Mike:Thanks. I've also been quite intrigued by the idea that ounce per ounce, spirulina's protein is 12 times more bioavailable than protein from animal sources.
Gerry:That's correct, yes. It really is a wonderful protein source.
Mike:So, any last words you'd like to share with our listeners here, Gerry?
Gerry:Well, I think the spirulina is really asuperfood, as you mentioned, and as we learn more about it, even though it's an old product on the nutritional supplement market, we seem to belearningmore and more about thehealth benefitsand some of the subtleties like this, protection against illness and enhancing theimmune system, and I think it's a product whose time will come again.
Mike:Demand is increasing over the last couple of years, you mentioned. The internet is helping to get the word out, the healthbenefitsof this, and I'd like to add, I think this is absolutely fantastic preventive medicine.
Gerry:I agree, and the scientific community is learning more and more about it.

"Antimicrobial resistance and its global spread"
We live in an era in which we depend on antibiotics, and other antimicrobial medicines to treat conditions that decades ago, or even a few years ago in the case of HIV/AIDS, would have proved fatal. When antimicrobial resistance - also known as drug resistance - occurs, it renders these medicines ineffective.
Key facts:
� Infections caused by resistant microorganisms often fail to respond to conventional treatment, resulting in prolonged illness and greater risk of death.
� About 440 000 new cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) emerge annually, causing at least 150 000 deaths.
� Resistance to earlier generation antimalarial medicines such as chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is widespread in most malaria-endemic countries.
� A high percentage of hospital-acquired infections are caused by highly resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
� Inappropriate and irrational use of antimicrobial medicines provides favourable conditions for resistant microorganisms to emerge, spread and persist.
What is antimicrobial resistance?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is resistance of a microorganism to an antimicrobial medicine to which it was previously sensitive. Resistant organisms (they include bacteria, viruses and some parasites) are able to withstand attack by antimicrobial medicines, such as antibiotics, antivirals, and antimalarials, so that standard treatments become ineffective and infections persist and may spread to others. AMR is a consequence of the use, particularly the misuse, of antimicrobial medicines and develops when a microorganism mutates or acquires a resistance gene.
Why is antimicrobial resistance a global concern?
AMR kills
Infections caused by resistant microorganisms often fail to respond to the standard treatment, resulting in prolonged illness and greater risk of death.
AMR hampers the control of infectious diseases AMR reduces the effectiveness of treatment because patients remain infectious for longer, thus potentially spreading resistant microorganisms to others.
AMR threatens a return to the pre-antibiotic era Many infectious diseases risk becoming uncontrollable and could derail the progress made towards reaching the targets of the health-related United Nations Millennium Development Goals set for 2015.
AMR increases the costs of health care. When infections become resistant to first-line medicines, more expensive therapies must be used. The longer duration of illness and treatment, often in hospitals, increases health-care costs and the financial burden to families and societies.
AMR jeopardizes health-care gains to society. The achievements of modern medicine are put at risk by AMR. Without effective antimicrobials for care and prevention of infections, the success of treatments such as organ transplantation, cancer chemotherapy and major surgery would be compromised.
AMR threatens health security, and damages trade and economies. The growth of global trade and travel allows resistant microorganisms to be spread rapidly to distant countries and continents.
Facts on antimicrobial resistance About 440 000 new cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) emerge annually, causing at least 150 000 deaths. Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) has been reported in 64 countries to date.
What drives Antimicrobial resistance
Inappropriate and irrational use of medicines provides favourable conditions for resistant microorganisms to emerge and spread. For example, when patients do not take the full course of a prescribed antimicrobial or when poor quality antimicrobials are used, resistant microorganisms can emerge and spread.
Underlying factors that drive AMR include:
� inadequate national commitment to a comprehensive and coordinated response, ill-defined accountability and insufficient engagement of communities;
� weak or absent surveillance and monitoring systems;
� inadequate systems to ensure quality and uninterrupted supply of medicines
� inappropriate and irrational use of medicines, including in animal husbandry:
� poor infection prevention and control practices;
� depleted arsenals of diagnostics, medicines and vaccines as well as insufficient research and development on new products.
Combat drug resistance: no action today, no cure tomorrow.
The emergence of AMR is a complex problem driven by many interconnected factors; single, isolated interventions have little impact. A global and national multi-sectoral response is urgently needed to combat the growing threat of AMR.
An array of health products carried by DLA NATURALS INC. ensures quality at its best.
Medicine is there to cure us when we are sick. Who wants to get sick anyway?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will never become an issue that requires global concern if only we keep ourselves healthy through prevention.
TOP quality products for it to establish such feat are:
1. SPIRULINA - our mainstay prime product, cultivated in our very own land in Subic, Zambales.
This immune booster food supplement is the best guarantee to keep our health in balance with the proper nutrition your body needs to move on, in life's everyday stresses.
2. SPIRUZYME C
This circulatory blend of Spirulina, Nattokinase and Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate) benefits our circulatory system, keeping blood flowing as it it meant to do. Cleansing as it flows in our blood stream, this food supplement will help regulate the perfect flow.
3. SPIRUZYME R
This respiratory blend of Spirulina, Serrapeptase and Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate) benefits our respiratory system. Breathing made easier through promoting out body expel mucus without effort.
4. OLEOGEL PROTECT
This essential oil that came from Origanum compactum is a powerful antioxidant, equipping th body an armor defence against infections and free radicals that cause diseases/illnesses and conditions.
You see, these are just some of the products that can shield us from microbial organism that can cause diseases. If we start using these now, for sure, we can prevent the use of medicine that can cure us.
You have a choice.
PREVENTION IS STILL BETTER THAN CURE.
