Are Philippine Building Contractors Trustworthy
Another week has past with little progress on the outstanding items apart from the glass rack which has finally arrived and was fitted to our home bar. Some modification was required, but now at last we no longer have to reach into cupboards for glasses.
I called at the site engineers office to find that the resident engineer is on maternity leave. So I invited another engineer to review the status of my list. He was surprised to see the half completed hole in the wall of the dirty kitchen, and the draining board in the main kitchen which had been installed directly onto concrete, with the result it could not drain properly and also did not have any give to prevent breakages is plates or glasses slipped from wet hand.
I then pointed out the light switches in the bathrooms which have become a safety hazard as they are coming away from the wall. They were meant to have been installed outside the rooms to ensure water and electricity cannot come in contact.
Finally I pointed out that the pavement and roadside flower border outside my property had been destroyed during construction and needed to be replaced. I also comment that there was a severe lack of maintenance within the complex with overgrown lots, and a swimming pool fir only for frogs and hope that matters improved by the end of the month, as summer is coming fast.

Dipolog house and lot for sale Based on my experience over the last year, I would say the old UK adage Buyer Beware rings true. I have had involvement with three different contractors whilst building my house and not one has yet completed the work, the mistake is mine of course as all have been paid.( I will however get what I paid for eventually)
I strongly advise that payment only be made after work has been completed, and even go as far as holding back a sum of the total to cover the guarantee period to fix defects.
For a large project its a good idea to agree on stage payments to be released when various key parts of the project are completed. It can also be beneficial to purchase your own materials and you can quite often get discounts from local suppliers by doing this. I discovered I could get discount from Mega Home in Dipolog city when my builder had to pay full price.
If you pay contractors before the work is completed they will spend the money and then come back with excuses as to why they need more, quite often it is because they have a cash flow problem.
If you are an Expat and married to a local try where possible to let your local partner do the negotiating as "Joe" has lots of money and is good for a rip off. Generally if I am planning on purchasing a large item, I will find a source and check it out and then a few days later send my other half in to negotiate and do the final purchase.

Life in the Philippines I never knew how lucky people in the UK are with free healthcare, yet they still complain. Having been sheltered for many year, in the last year I and my family have used private hospitals for minor ailments and had to pay quite reasonable prices for consultations and medicines.
However at the weekend Jay broke his arm falling from his bike and was admitted to Dipolog Medical Centre. This was an all new experience especially as we do not have medical insurance.
The elbow required surgery so I got a rough estimate of 25,000 PHP for the surgeon, but was not told of all the ancillary fees which ended up amounting to 70,000 PHP, all of which have to be paid before leaving hospital. This can have a dramatic effect on most peoples cash flow and even if one has local insurance you still have a portion to pay.
I would have preferred to have known the higher figure prior to admission, so as to be able to check out alternatives, as although the surgery was urgent it was not an emergency.
Yes insurance is on my to-do list and at least now I have a real case to use in order to insure my family with a company which provides the best policy to seat my needs.
The hospital experience itself was also an eye opener, having opted for a general ward ended up in a 3 bed ward with no other patients. Posted visiting times seemed to be ignored and in fact family members were there 24/7. The equipment was adequate and surgical staff knowledgeable, some questions about ancillary nursing staff.
Once I have gathered some more information on Insurance I will post it here.
Till the next time

BBC TV in Philippines
Original Article @ Dipolog house and Lot for Sale
Dipolog house and lot for sale There has been one thing that I have really been missing in the Philippines and that is UK TV, whilst in Malaysia there was access to a couple of channels and Star sports screened Rugby, plus there was an Australian channel, but her we have to put up with American channels, which are no match for the Likes of BBC.
I have now discovered it is possible to watch BBC via your computer this sounds like a great idea. The cost is less than 10 Euro (570PHP). I am already planning on purchasing a large screen for my computer later in the year, so this could serve a duel purpose.
I am at present using a PLDT DSL connection at 3Mbps, so this should be more than adequate to receive the service.
The only thing that I will need to be careful of is not to become a slave to the TV, however as the Philippines is 8 hours ahead of the UK the timing difference will temper what is available to watch.

Dipolog house and lot for sale It seems unbelievable our Dipolog house is still not finished, we made a big mistake of paying upfront, and I firmly advise anyone who plans to have a house built for them in the Philippines demands stage payments, so that the contract only gets paid when each stage is completed. I should have walked away from Mediatrix homes in Dipolog city and built a house elsewhere.
I have been providing a weekly list of outstanding items which include moving light switches to outside of bathrooms, installing hot water to sink in dirty kitchen, supply drain in shared bathroom upstairs, and repairs to ridge tiles which were not correctly installed.
The good news is that the power shower in the shared bathroom now works correctly, but that took 3 weeks to be installed even after supplier advised us it was in stock, somehow I think the contractor has a cash flow problem.
Garden landscaping has been completed by a private contractor and once the front gates are installed this weekend that will be complete.
We had our first electricity bill yesterday and guess what it came in at half the amount that the local electricity company estimated, because we do not use all the lights and air con that has been installed. So now I will request that the electricity company return half our deposit.
The next issue to be tackled is the community pool. residents have been waiting two years for this ands it was supposed to be completed last year. now school holidays are starting next week and pool is like a green duck pond. I used it once some weeks ago, but suspect that they do not know how to keep it clean.

Dipolog house and lot for sale One month after moving into our Dipolog house and lot work has still not been completed.
So what is the good news, well we now have hot water after insisting that the hot water tank be placed in the roof area, not only is the water hot but water pressure has been improved. The Glass in the Bar cabinets has been installed
Electrical work outstanding is dimmer switch in master bedroom and relocation of bathroom switches to outside rooms as a safety issue.
One major issue has been a foul smell in the upstairs bathroom and the plumber has has been unable to find the source which also affects the downstairs powder room, the n answer from Mediatrix was to install extractor fans. So I ended up opening up one of the floor drains to prove to the plumber that the smell was coming from the septic tank. He said that was impossible as there was a water trap in the line, so I got him to put his ear to the drain and asked if he could hear dripping water, he replied yes, so therefor the water trap was not working, and I suspect that the trap on the upstairs drain has the same fault.
Glass panels on stairway are still to be installed and many of the windows gaps still need sealing.
Garden landscaping is taking shape and in fact will be completed before house.
Garden walls are taking shape, and gates are on order
Landscaping and walls are being carried out by Alex who has a team working daily and seems to be a reliable contractor with some good contacts, we have atonally requested a quotation and design and builds a built in oven housing.
This coming weekend marks my birthday and we are holding a combined House blessing and house warming party so we are keeping our fingers crossed that issues will have been resolved.

Dipolog house and lot for sale It has been some time since my last post and it seems we are now in the home straight but missed the target of hand over ant end of January, surprise surprise.
downpipes have been fitted to guttering and plumped into drains. This has greatly reduced the noise during heavy rains, in fact often we do not know its raining apart from the fact that a nearby business premises has a tin roof. Kitchen cabinets have handles and wardrobes have doors.
So that is the good news, water pressure still dogs the issues taking a power shower and, but shower screens have been fitted. Still no hot water after nearly a month. Glass yet to be installed on kitchen cupboards, bar and in Family room.
Electrical work outstanding is dimmer switch in master bedroom and relocation of bathroom switches to outside rooms as a safety issue.
Garden landscaping is taking shape and in fact will be completed before house.
Still awaiting quotations for garden walls and gates which means dogs have to be tied up all day.
Great Internet connection speed but power outages might be an issues, it seems in Philippines municipal water and power cannot be relied upon.
I had an Australian contact me via Skype for assistance and advise about building a new house near the beach. He is also concerned about electrical issues

Dipolog house and lot for sale Jasmin was determined to move in on the full moon, so we arrived at 0300 with a lorry following us. First problem was no keys to the house, but then I remembered that the door from the dirty Kitchen in to the living area did not have a lock. The electrics was working. Jasmin and her mother and friends did their religious bit. Our Bed had been delivered the day before so the next task was to move our possessions into the house. Putting the packing cases in the car port and suitcases and cardboard boxes in the Maids Room.
As dawn began to break the goat was slaughtered and we discovered the mains water supply valve so switched on the water in order to start cooking. We could see there was a lot of work to complete so when the workmen arrived at 0730 we had to start redirecting them to our priority jobs.
One task was to redesign the flimsy bar to make it more substantial in fact over the course of the first week we had to change out and fit dimmer switches on the lights, fit windows in master bedroom,stairway and toilets, together with fly screens. We also had to replace three wooden floor tiles which were not correctly laid. air con was also installed.
During the second week we engaged a Garden designer to start work on the garden and also to supply curtains and blinds. Finally the plastic guttering arrived and was installed, apart from the down pipes which the developer will supply. Overall we were frustrated in the way that no one job was ever completed, for example the cook top arrived and a hole was was made in the worktop, which took all day using a six inch nail as a chisel to chip concrete. I was then left to enlarge hole using my own chisel to in order to install retaining clips and connect everything up.

Dipolog house and lot for sale We made our final visit to our Dipolog house and ;ot for sale on 5th January and it looks like completion will overrun our timeframe. We spotted one problem in the kitchen area, where a joiner was installing a cabinet where we will have a fridge/freezer placed, There are still some wiring and painting to be completed. The guttering was due to arrive that afternoon.
The Gas/electric hob had not been ordered, so we went to Better living Mediatrix Homes normal Supplier, but they did not have any so we got Mediatrix homes to order one from Emcor, but it will not arrive for a further 8 days.
We went to the District Water board to arrange connection, but it seems they have some kind of dispute with Mediatrix Homes at the moment, so will connect our house. Mediatrix will provide us with a temporary solution.
The most time consuming part was arranging electricity connection at Zanaco . we went armed with blueprint and completion certificates. Now we discovered they calculate the deposit based on estimated consumption. now we have a lot of lights and sockets put in by architect, many of which will not be used, which results in a high estimate, if we had known this in the beginning we would have modified the lighting and socket plan. We had to go to 3 different departments, and then pay the deposit, so that they would carry out a final inspection. This means we will rely on Mediatrix to supply a temporary connection when we first move in.
We also Visited smart to arrange move of our Internet connection, now it seems at last minute there could be a problem as they now are not sure if our canopy device will work. Its strange for months they say no problem and then at 11th hour they are not so sure. They have yet to confirm, so am preparing to use a USB modem as a temporary solution
There is some local superstition and ceremony involved in moving which involves killing a goat at sunrise of the full moon, so we will be travelling at night with a truck carrying our possessions arriving in earlier hours of morning, hoping we have electricity and water.

Dipolog house and lot for sale Our latest visit showed that our Dipolog house and lot are proceeding fine with an estimated completion date at end of first week of January. All the doors and windows are now in place and the upstairs is virtually complete apart from cupboard fronts,bath screen.hot water supply and a couple of electrical fitting.
We met with the owners of Mediatrix homes, to finalise the final details which includes the fitting of the guttering which is in transit. We also requested an estimate for two walls and gate. we would like to build up the garden to the original height so need to have the top soil that was originally removed returned so we can organise landscaping of the garden after we have moved in.
We have also ordered a built in oven which will need a cabinet building in the dirty kitchen as we want to have the oven at eye level. This will be delivered along with other items that we have ordered from Emcom, one of the best sources of equipment in the southern Philippines
We are now starting to plan our move and will make a further visit on 5th January with the idea of moving on the Moon of the New year, Monday the 9th.

Dipolog house and lot for sale As the year draws to a close it is evident that the workers are eyeing the holiday season as very little progress is being made. One of the holdups is with the Guttering which was promised for last week but now is expected to arrive next week. This has delayed the outside painting.
Door frames are being painted, so the inside is slowly taking shape. Master bedroom bathroom and communal bathroom tiling is completed. Powder room is virtually finished apart from shower, not sure on where hot water supply comes from and notice that light switches are inside bathrooms, which can be a cause of electrocution and is banned in UK, but of course we are in the Philippines where health and safety have little bearing on the matters.
Whilst we were in Dipolog we choose the various light fitting, it was a bit chaotic not knowing exactly where the fitting would be placed as we did not have the lighting plan with us, so we will be in for a surprise on our next visit to our Dipolog house and Lot for Sale.
We have now been promised a date in January for completion, so can now start sourcing furniture in the year end sales, so long as the shops are prepared to store it until our house is complete.

The optimism from out last visit to out Dipolog House and lot for sale has disappeared, with very little progress from out last visit. Room painting is underway, however the Rain gutters have not been delivered and are not due for another week, this will result in missing our December deadline.
Jasmin and I had some discussion on the window tinting, I would have preferred a light blue colour to enhance the the colour of the skies but Jasmin wanted a darker grey to provide more privacy. we also need to contact the architect to design and provide a costing for fence/walls on the two open sides of our property.
So many items unfinished means it is difficult to see real progress so we will do not plan to visit again for a couple of weeks. We still have some issues on fittings which were ordered as part of the contract and regret that Mediatrix homes did not accept our proposal to have a detailed specification attached to the contract, rather than their standard wishy washy contract which is vague.

Progress on Our Dipolog house and lot for sale. proceeding at a pace. wooded flooring has been completed on first floor, And tiling on ground floor is being completed. The task for us now is to finalise what colours we want to pain the rooms and exterior. It is a pity that Dulux pains are not available in the Philippines ad they have an excellent mouse paining tool on their Australian website, which allows you to upload photographs of you room and then use you mouse to intuitively fill the various areas with colours. Once you have named an area which can be quite time consuming you can quick test out a number of combinations.
The painter will give us an idea of what we want then we will pass our colour selection to the developer for then to match them up with what is available locally in Dipolog city.
foundations for our driveway are also being made and we expect our driveway to be completed this week. we have not heard from the architect yet, nut he has given plans of base our Kitchen island bar to the foreman, but has not sent it to us. We note however that the top section is missing. we hope to meet with the Architect when he visits next week.

we have not visited our Dipolog house and lot for sale this week due to other commitments but are hoping that next week work will have started on completion of downstairs and perhaps the windows will have been installed.
Until my computer was damaged by a power surge we had started work on our colour schemes but it is a bit difficult because we really need to also know the colours of our floor and wall tiles and we cannot remember what designs we chose.
Hopefully the parquet floors upstairs will have been sealed and all the roofing finished off. we also need to be thinking about the garden. we now have a puppy called Fred so we will need to build two walls, one along the front and another separating us from the lot next door, so that he cannot stray.
We still have had now news at all from the Architect who does not answer any emails and this will very soon become a major issue as it will delay the completion of our Dipolog house.
The only problem we forsee in the house is the lack of storage areas, we had requested a door be cut into the wall from the patio leading into the roof area above the car port but this has not been done and will be more difficult as concrete has been poured in the wall.

Roof Guttering situation on our Dipolog house and lot for sale has been resolved and a PVC mouldings supplier has been sourced, the molding looks quite complicated and I had to ask one of the engineers how it fitted. I am used to guttering which is 100% functional and it catches the rainwater from the roof and diverts it to a down pipe. Here in the Philippines they tend to concentrate more on a molding that looks nice, so will have to hope that it still functions as expected.
We have not heard from the Architect, it seems he is quite busy so our other questions remain unanswered. we also have requested the site engineer look at the roof shingles on the main roof as they do not appeared to have been laid right when viewed from the ground.
The wooden floor upstairs was been sanded, so there was a lot of dust around, but we did see the outline of a wardrobe taking place in the main bedroom. Outside the balcony railing were being installed, and work was progressing on the roofing of the dirty kitchen.
Whilst we were in Dipolog city we visited the town hall to enquire where the Immigration sub-office was located as we had been unable to find it. It appears they have an office near the Bagsakan market off Tomas Claudio street. but even using a map they provided it was a little tricky to find. This is a great find as we will no longer need to travel to Cagayan Del Oro every couple of months to renew my visa

Tropical storms have resulted in many day of bad weather , however out Dipolog house and lot for sale now has its roof on so fitting out has started. Door and Kitchen worktops are being installed and upstairs concrete floors are being leveled prior to adding flooring.
False ceilings installation is progressing well, the house is certainly beginning to take shape. will be doing a site visit tomorrow to discuss some minor points/

What a difference a week makes and despite the bad weather construction of out Dipolog house and Lot for sale are gathering pace. Also we are getting answers to our problems. the crew is hard at work on the roof and this will be completed by our next visit . we notice the bath we had ordered has arrived and yes it does fit, big sigh of relief. Downstairs wiring has commenced and supports for false ceiling are being installed in main living area and carport. The counter bases in the Kitchen and dirty kitchen have been laid.
One of the reasons for our visit was to select new tiles and there is no longer stock of the ones we selected months ago. This is a bit of a blow, and was one of the reasons we expected to see piles of material awaiting installation.
We visited the hardware supplier and I suppose we spent an hour or two picking floor tiles for the main living area originally we had selected off white tiles, then Jasmin selected black with some white streaks, quite modern looking, but I spotted a Brick effect tile, with a slightly roof finish, and having remembered that one or twice I had slipped on shiny tiles in KK, I thought they would not only look nice but also be unique, it was a hard sell for Jasmin but I said we can also rugs/carpet on top if the pattern is too much. we also need to order tiles for the shared bathroom and maids room where we chose a pinkish shade. finally we confirmed our jet type shower was on order.
Tiles will be delivered this week so maybe this is the next stage. the terrace is also taking shape with its low wall and I requested that the engineer put a small doorway from one wall of the terrace in to the roof area above the car port to allow access for extra storage. I questioned if there would be a manhole leading into main room area.
We will soon be at the stage where we can actively start searching for furnishing to complete our new home. Outside work has also commenced on our deco feature of local stone tiles.
So hopefully next week major construction will be completed/

Sell My House
There are good reasons for selling your house directly, such as having full control over the sale and saving agents fees, however some people have a problems with dealing with enquiries from interested purchasers, knowing who had made what offer, who who was coming to view your house for sale and at what time.
When I sold my last house directly, I had bits of paper and notes everywhere, with people phoning at different times it was hard to keep track.
Well my site resolves that situation even before it arises with its built in online Negotiator. You see when a potential buyer is interested in you property, he will contact you via the site by email, so no more phone calls, and also will be prompted to ask some common question such as:-
This negotiator is a cutting-edge unique and revolutionary software tool that replaces the need for owners to pay sales agents commission making property cheaper to buy. It is a proprietary artificially intelligent virtual estate agent/realtor with differences; it doesnt ask for money; its honest; hasnt got a sports car to pay for and nor does it manipulate negotiations! It seamlessly mediates between Seller & Buyer helping them to communicate and guides both parties through the negotiation process; jargon and hassle free. It doesnt charge a commission or try selling you another house! The negotiator tracks the sales process constantly keeping you up-to-date displaying current status and messages direct from the Seller. The negotiator is your friend!
The negotiator will also track appointments and store notes for you and prompt you along the way, such as when it is time to appoint a lawyer.

Yesterday we paid our weekly visit to Mediatrix hills to view progress on our Dipolog house and lot for sale, as we drew up to the office Jasmin noticed that the roof trusses were now in place, but wee had some outstanding issues to be resolved.
We started off by speaking with the site engineer, with reference to the bathroom and if there was room for the chosen bath. Apparently the bath is bigger than the room, now why were we not advised of this before construction was even commenced and why was the Architect not informed of the potential problem. The site engineers answer was that she
is responsible for building to the plans, and produced a small comply of the plan which we had signed off as part of the contract, the dimension of the bathroom are not shown. the conversation became quite heated and the engineer fled.
Eventually another women intervened and said she was looking to find a resolution. apparently we are not the first clients to have design problems. I suggested that the problem is the result of clients not seeing the full size plans, or the computer CAD plans, in fact yesterday was the first time I had seen the computer plans in detail and it began to raise more questions as well as answer others. Communications it seems is the issue and perhaps this will be resolved by next week. We raise one new issue regarding what type of shower was to be fitted in the upstairs bathroom as we had chosen a shower with body jets and just wanted to be sure.
Progress on the house has been going on at quite a pace, we arrived during lunch break so workers were lying around sleeping. The shuttering on the downstairs ceiling has been removed and the cocreate poured ceiling is not showing any cracks. We inspected the disputed bathroom and as walls have been completed, we might be forced to fit a corner bath. At first we were concerned about the low wall being built on the terrace as we were expecting metal railings, however having seen the CAD this morning it would seem that a small roof section has been added in order to conceal rain guttering around the terrace. more communications problems.

We made a visit to our Dipolog house and lot for sale late yesterday on our way back from two monthly visa run to Cagayan de Oro to update my visitors visa. We arrived just as the workmen were about to knock off, we were please to note that pouring of concrete had been going on at a hectic rate, they say many hand make light work, so progress is looking good.
As soon as the hooter sounded the workers scampered off like rats leaving a sinking ship, scrambling up an over the back gate of our gated community in their rush to leave the site.
We spent a little time inspecting the work that has been completed and noticed that there appear to be an 8ins wide ledge outside the master bedroom window which we did not see on the plans. The ledge is part of the arched facial on the front of the house. we will take this up with the site engineer on our visit next week.
We met up with our nearest neighbour who returns to Canada for a couple of years at the end of the week and they said they had been quite interested in the speed of construction, compared with the traditional local hollow block method, which they had not seen before. The neighbours gave us a quick update on what was happening in the community, apparently a Doctor has purchased the plot opposite our Dipolog house for sale an work will be started soon. As mentioned in previous posts the site next to ours has been also cleared ready for construction, maybe that's why we have so many workers working on our site at the moment.

Progress has picked up with well over 50% of upper floor shuttering in place and conduits for wiring being installed. soil in front garden has not been replaced, so guess this will be done later. This will mean they will need to bring the excavator and soil back, when they could have done the job when I reported the problem and the excavator was still there.
We have a new issue in that we had earlier requested that the air con in main bedroom be a split unit but having seen from the shuttering that this information has not been passed on to the site engineer as there is a hole for a window unit. We also do not yet have feedback regarding the if our bath will fit in the bathroom.
Again it was a whistle stop visit due to collecting family from airport.

Today we are seeing progress again on our Diplog house and lot. The upper floor has been laid by I am a little worried about the many cracks in the concrete, I am not sure the mixture was right. Work has started on the shuttering of the upper floor We might have a problem with the bathroom and have asked that the architect checks the dimensions of the bath we have ordered to see that it in. It seems raising the riot act last week may have got them back on course to complete by 7th December.
The site next to us has been sold and a start has been made on clearing the site, however the excavator has removed some of the soil from our lot, so now we have a sloping front garden, down to the road level when we wanted the garden to be the above the road . So we have requested the soil be replaced, whist the excavator is still on site.
We were in a bit of a rush as Jasmin had a plane to catch, but we will revisit on Thursday for another update.

Today I discovered anew company with a unique marketing plan which not only can save people money when moving house but can also be turned into a business. The worlds finances are still in trouble and many people are struggling to sell houses to reduce their debt burden. The problem is there are few buyers and the costs of moving house can mount up quickly. I should know having moved house earlier this year.
So now what of the business side, well interested parties can buy a franchise for a particular area and earn commissions on all sales in that area, in addition they can earn money from sub affiliates either in their area or from anywhere in the world.

Our visit to check on progress of our Dipolog house and lot for sale today was disappointing. Our expectations were that work would have started on the second floor walls. The reality was that they are still working on the floor and apparently had run out of re bar and awaiting more. This slow progress is unacceptable, so we put in a complaint to the developers Mediatrix Homes. Having paid cash in advance there should never be a shortage of material, and this is the second time in a month work has been delayed. yes you could blame the weather, the public holidays Etc, but in reality it is lack of project planning.
We have requested a copy of the project schedule and require a status on all materiel which we have selected and are needed to complete our Dipolog house. We now fear that there will be further delays with Christmas fast approaching which means many more holidays on the horizon. We need to nip this matter in the bud now and get the project back on course.
I now wish we had stuck to out guns and insisted on stage payments to ensure not only are house was completed in a timely manner but also to ensure the cash we paid was solely used against out project Dipolog house and lot for sale

The electricity to provide power to your Dipolog house and lot will be supplied from overhead power line and one thing you will notice is the poles are mot very high with the result that the power lines sag and can be snagged by high sided commercial vehicles. I have seen this happen even in the centre of Dipolog city. I am not sure why the lines are not placed on higher poles which in addition to keeping them clear of traffic might also reduce illegal connections. I can understand that laying cables underground might not be an option due to frequent flooding.
Compared to the rest of the Philippines, the cost of electricity in Mindaneao at the moment is much lower as over %0% of the power is supplied by hydro and geothermal power power stations, but this is set to change as there is talk of privatising these aging supply sources.
For some reason the Government seems to be restricting the use of solar power despite the Philippine Solar Power Alliance (PSPA), urging the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) to increase to 230 megawatts the total allowed capacity of the solar energy facilities that will be put up in the country over the next three years. NREBs initial proposal was only 100 MW.
According to the PSPA, government data showed that there are 44 solar power projects awaiting approval for their service contracts. These projects can generate a combined 420 MW should their contracts be approved. A large number of them will be located at Mindanao, specifically in Davao, Zamboanga, Misamis and Cagayan de Oro.
Many people who own property discover that some high load appliances do not work due to low voltage supply and have to purchase or rent transformers to resolve the situation. If more power sources were feeding the grid this would not be necessary.

Some people who purchase a house for sale in Dipolog city might be concerned about health care. One thing is sure, even though the cost is low, the standards are high with many practitioners having trained overseas in Western countries or Australia. The equipment in state hospitals may be dated but Private hospitals are well equipped.
I have used dental clinics in both Dipolog city and Sindangan, and whilst the exterior may seem rundown, the equipment inside has been brand new incorporating the latest technologies. Compared to Malaysia where I recently moved from I would say local dental clinic are better equipped.
One thing it is difficult to purchase in Dipolog City is Original Sunglasses, there are plenty of fakes which may be cheaper but just do not compare, so if you plan to stay sometime ensure you bring good glasses with you to protect your eyes.

We paid a further visit to out Dipolog house for sale and the weekend and progress remains slow, but it is beginning to take shape as a House. We expect the final concrete poring of the ground floor walls to be completed in the coming week and work to start on the upper floor.
We took the opportunity during our visit to Dipolog to check out the white sand beach of Dakak. Unfortunately the beach resort charges an entrance fee, even if you a merely seeking about the resort for future use, which seems a strange way to market a business and is perhaps a reason why the resort is under under utilised. The beach resort itself is undergoing renovation and the staff are not particularly friendly. Yes there is a great white sand beach, the sand having being imported, as white sand is not normal in Zanorte. I am not sure I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Dipolog City.

we were disappointed with the slow progress on our Dipolog house and lot for sale it appears that the developers ran out of materials, which apparently is quite common in the Philippines. I suspect is is something to do with cash flow as some companies rely on new customers money to complete existing projects which is not a good practice.
The secondhand property market appears to be in the doldrums at the moment with houses over 6Million Peso's not showing much movement. I know of a few properties which have been on the market since last year. the question is are buyers being hesitant due to the present financial situation or are the properties themselves overpriced, I believe it is a bit of both and if they need to sell they need to bring the prices down.
The resident engineer is hoping that work will commence on the 2nd floor next week once the worker finish off the carport and patio facade. We made one minor change to the design, change the way the door to the storage area at the bottom of the stairs opens, to make access easier.

The weather in Mindaneao has not been very good over the past ten days with lots of rain and thunderstorms, so it will be interesting to find out how progress is going on our Dipolog house and lot for sale.
We have started planning ahead for our garden buying some small varieties of trees such as Mango and limon trees and are also planning to grow our our own lemon trees to either make out own lemonade or mix with Gin and Tonic, as they are hard to source locally.
We have also been experimenting with reducing our water consumption, we had a leaking toilet some months ago which in one month doubled our consumption. We adjusted the ball cock to shut off the overflow but have no taken it a stage further and reduced our consumption by a further 30% by readjusting the filling level. We have a dual flush system, now the short flush if fine for pee, with the longer flush for solids.

Unfortunately people looking to purchase a Dipolog house and lot for sale do any or little research before they invest in property so below are a few key points to consider so a not to make common mistakes.
What Can You Afford
You need to sit down with your professional real estate agent and honestly discuss your income level and living expenses. Take into account future considerations, children, add-ons, amenities, and fix-ups. Your dream home is certainly worth a sacrifice but dont mortgage your entire future. Where possible buy with cash as taking a loan gives a false feeling of security and if your income reduces for any reason you will still need to meet the mortgage payments.
Adverts
Adverts are designed to sell houses and highlight the good features whilst hiding the drawbacks that are not mentioned in the ad, such as traffic noise, power lines, or litigation in the community. What's not mentioned in the ad is usually more important than what is. Is a matter of buyer beware. Be very careful when reading ads. Remember that the person writing the ad is representing the seller and not you! The most important thing you can do is have someone on your side looking out for your best interests.
House Hunting
Before house hunting, make a list of things you want in your new house. Then make a list of the things you don't want. You can use this list as a guide to rate each property that you see. The one with the biggest score wins! This helps avoid confusion and keeps things in perspective when you're comparing dozens of homes.
Style and Substance
When house hunting, keep in mind the difference between Style and Substance. Substance are things that cannot be changed such as the location, view, size of lot, noise in the area, school district, and floor plans. Style represents easily changed surface finishes like carpet, wallpaper, colour, and window coverings. Select a house with the best Substance, because you can always change the style to match your tastes.
View a choice of homes
See at least 7-10 properties. Do not just jump at the first property you see look as a selection of properties which suit you lifestyle. With your agents help you should be able to view enough properties to get a good overall perspective of the home market. When you find the right property all the leg work will be worth it. Check out all costs and expenses before you put in an offer. Utilities, taxes, insurance, maintenance and home owner dues if applicable. Make sure all utilities are in working order during your walk-through. Ask lots of questions and be very detail conscious.
Inspection
Once you have a short list of houses you like its time to get a professional valuer or surveyor to produce an inspection report.Go over the inspection report with a fine tooth comb. For gated communities or condo purchases go over the By-Laws and Association Fees. Dont take anything for granted inspect everything.
Imagine the property empty
Unless you are buying the house contents you need to ignore how the house is furnished because you will be adding your own furniture, check that doors and stairways are wide enough to get your furniture in.
Put in An Offer
All promises and discussions should be in writing. Dont make any assumptions or believe any assurances. Even the best intentions can be misinterpreted. Have your professional keep an ongoing log in writing of all discussions and get the sellers written approval on all agreements.Closing dates are not written in stone. Allow for contingencies and have a back-up plan. If you or the sellers need a little more time to conclude the final arrangements, dont let these delays upset or frustrate you. These types of circumstances are not uncommon in a real estate transaction.
Finally
Visit the property after all furnishings have been moved out to be sure there are no surprises. Be absolutely positive the property was left exactly as you had agreed upon in the contract. Things that could have been spotted in a final walk-through are often unintentionally overlooked. only then pay off the outstanding balance

Marketing your Business
Top SEO Results Tips I was recently researching information about Dipolog City and found sites for both the region Zanorte and the City itself, however the information on the sites has not been kept up to date and one site is missing altogether, perhaps it is been revised. How can a city attract visitors and investment when information is not up to date. One glaring example was the electrical supply situation where no mention was made about the fact of a major upgrade that is at present underway. I gleaned this information from a private site that suggests it supplies news on a daily basis but was last updated in October.
When you are marketing a business online it is vital that your website is kept up to date and the same goes for public information sites otherwise your visitors will disappear.
Commercial sites must have a constant supply of fresh information, for example details of special offers, prices changes, sales or even changes in personnel and management. An easy way of supplying this information is to write a daily blog and then connect the feed the the index page of your blog, this will ensure visitors including search engine robots will keep coming back for more.
Until the next time

Not much to report this week, with slow progress on the project to build our Dipolog house and lot at Mediatrix hills upper Turno. We did voice our concerns with the Engineer who seemed to think we were still on target for a November completion. We also confirmed the colour of our roof shingles and changed the exterior colour to Sahara Cream. The engineer will send us an artistic impression of the exterior for us to check if we want a two tone effect. It seems that there have been some material supply problems, but they are set to concentrate on the wiring of the ground floor, so hopefully we will see some progress on our next visit.
On our way back to Sindangan we decided decided to look for another route to cut out the city so drove along to Polanco after a bit of a struggle we did eventually find a way to to the Sindangan Dipolog road, which may cut out some of the traffic delays caused by slow moving motorbikes with sidecars which are the main form of transport in Dipolog city.

For the most part, Mindanao is a safe destination for your travel. There are some serious exceptions, though. Parts of Mindanao are extremely dangerous, while the majority of the island is such as Zanorte is fairly safe. One thing to remember is that in todays world, there is no place on the entire earth that is perfectly safe. No matter where you go you could be hit with crime, terrorism, natural disaster or some other calamity. This is true in Mindanao as well.
Some places in Mindanao are very dangerous and should be avoided by the average tourist. The United States and United Kingdom have issued travel advisories warning their citizens that travel to Mindanao is dangerous, and perhaps should be avoided altogether. Personally, I feel that in many ways these warnings are overblown, and were mostly issued by people who have never been to Mindanao, and also know little about the place. One needs to take great care for example in Zamboanga City and Basilan, Sulu, or even Cotabato City, I would have to exercise caution. or avoid those areas altogether. There are some places that just are not suitable for tourism. At this point in time, I would say that the entire ARMM (Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao) is in that category.
Dipolog city and Zanorte are safe but you need to use common sense, do not wear expensive jewelry or carry unnecessary cash, be observant when withdrawing cash from ATM's. Avoid driving at night time.

Progress on our Dipolog house and plot seems to have slowed over the past week, as the workers are continuing to pour the cocreate walls, it seems to be slow going with one bucket full at a time needing to be lifted up and poured down the gap.
We did note that conduit pipes for the electrical system had been placed within the shuttering prior to pouring so the wires can be run later. we questioned the onsite engineer regarding the hot water supply and it seems we will have a central tank system. Jasmin also requested a sliding shower screen to be fitted around the bath to avoid flooding the bathroom.
Hopefully when we next go to Dipolog they will be starting work on the top story.

One thing that makes real estate buying in the Philippines so interesting is the diversity of developers and lots available for purchase
whether its residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural or farm lots. The choice is yours
is it for your own use as a future residence, office, business, or haven for mangrove.
When buying a Dipolog house and lot in the Philippines, please take into account the following:
1. Deal only with a licensed real estate broker who will have the authority to sell. With utmost honesty and integrity, a licensed broker will be familiar with the properties which he undertakes to sell. He has a working knowledge of land economics, real estate market, legal provision affecting real estate, reading ordinary maps and plans, financing practices in real estate transactions, basic features of land and building construction and the working knowledge of government offices concerned in real estate.
2. Buy properties developed by a reputable company, experienced in real estate development and with very strong financial position. You should look at the people behind the company and the properties they have built. This is an assurance that the property will be turned-over after a definite period of time as stated in the contract (after you made your last payment if you got it on installment).
3. Location is also one factor, you should consider when buying a property for investment since you would always want an area with a good appreciation rate. A good appreciation rate is 20% per annum so that the value of the property will be doubled in 5 years time. This is if you are using the property for investment.
4. The value of the property is determined by dividing the net operating income (NOI) by market capitalization rate so you should consider this factor when buying existing properties. The net operating income is the sum of money you will earn from a property, say by leasing it, less all expenses. The capitalization rate is the net operating income divided by the purchase price of the property.
5. When buying big existing properties, you also need consult a real estate assessor in order to determine the price at which the real estate properties will likely sell in a competitive market.
6. Always beware of fake titles. Copy of the Transfer Certificate of Title preferably certified by the Register of Deeds in the municipality where the property is located. It should be valid and without any defects. It should be free from any liens or encumbrances and annotations. Together with the TCT, the lot plan prepared by the licensed Geodetic Engineer and verified by the Department of Natural Resources (DENR) as well as the copy of tax declaration.
7. Be on the look out for amenities or features such as clubhouse with function halls, fitness gym, swimming pool, children play are, basketball court, badminton and tennis courts and convenience store, wide roads, 24-hr security, fence, electricity and water supply, shuttle service, where the properties are located if it is within a subdivision. Some subdivisions have their churches, schools, stores outside of the church so as to allow more privacy for the residents.
8. Deal only with reputable banking and financial institutions if you intend to borrow money to finance your purchase of properties. Be sure you get the best rate of interest and payment terms.
9. Make regular site inspections of your Dipolog house and lot to remove any doubt you may have or get encouraged by the development undertaken in a particular area.
10. Again, deal with a licensed real estate broker if you desire to resell the property after some time.

Foreigners who make their home in the Philippines usually go for Manila real estate, regardless of whether it is to lease or to buy. You will find many advantages to residing inside the key metropolis, for example proximity to international and nearby companies, colleges, hospitals, eating and amusement services, as well as shopping destinations. Unlike real estate located in the provincial locations, Manila real estate is usually regarded as to be prime locations by real estate brokers. Every little thing is centrally located, using the Makati CBD, Ortigas CBD, and Bonifacio Global City inside close proximity to one another. If you are planning on renting a space in one of these choice Manila real estate locations, ensure that your home includes these important utilities.
Provincial cities such as Dipolog and Cebu are growing in stature and can offer great savings and of course are well provided with utilities.
The very first utility you have to create certain thats in place in your Philippine real estate rental is water. In this situation, the drinking water service supplier is Dipolog City Water District supplies the city with potable water. It has six deep well pumps with a combined output of 130 litres per second and operates 15 hours a day. To compliment this, 105 deep wells with hand pumps and 20 springs have been constructed in the remote barangays as a source of water.
The second utility is electricity and this is brought to light by the Zamboanga del Norte Electric Cooperative (ZANECO) provides the City with power services. The source of power is the Maria Cristina Hydro-Electric Plant under the control of the National Power Corporation - Mindanao Grid. The city is supplied with 15 MVA by two of the three sub-stations of ZANECO..
The third utility is a phone line. If you invest in Philippine real estate, ensure the property has provisions for phone lines. Having a phone line is useful in unexpected emergency situations, for example someone in your home getting sick and you should contact a medical facility or a fire breaking out in your kitchen area and you have to get in contact with the nearby fire department right away. They are unforeseen occasions that make getting a phone line important Dipolog, just like other developing cities, is well equipped with telecommunication facilities. As of present, there are two cell sites that provide mobile communication, one company that provides digital direct dialling system. Domestic and direct-distance dialling is provided by Cruztelco Digital System - PLDT.
The fourth utility is an Internet connection, which works hand in hand using the phone line. The major phone utility company, PLDT, is one of the top suppliers of DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line functionality. With this technology, Internet data are effortlessly transmitted through a normal phone line. You will find several cable Television businesses that provide this kind of Internet services. Whatever you decide, ensure your Dipolog real estate property has a reliable connection that will permit you to keep in contact with your family members and pals in your home country.
The last utility is cable television, but this really is currently being overtaken by the Internet as the quickest source of information as well as other important data. Cable television, nevertheless, gives you with a great form of amusement right after you have put in a long day at the workplace or you need to give your youngsters a break.

There are many categories of properties in the Philippines. The most expensive real estate is the gated communities. Gated Communities are geared towards foreigners and middle to upper-middle class Filipinos, including overseas workers. They vary but generally gated communities have their own infrastructure and security. You can buy a house and lot with the developer building the house, or sometimes just the lot and build the house yourself. Gated Communities are good because they usually have flexible payment schemes. If you dont have money to pay for the house in full you can opt for term payments. Make sure they give you an interest rate you can live with.
Most gated communities offer 5 or 10 years to pay. So, for a house that costs $USD20.000 youre talking about $USD500/month for five years and its yours. There are simple gated communities without pools and clubhouses that offer a house and lot for just over $USD10.000 so shop according to your budget.
Another category of property is the house or house lot outside a gated community. This type of property will generally be cheaper, especially if it is outside of a major city like Dipolog. One concern is that you have to rely on public services when it comes to water and waste removal, as well as the maintenance of your electrical grid. In other words, youre in the "real world". If you fancy the countryside you can find extremely cheap lots and local carpenters to build your new home.
Another option is a Condominium. New and used condominiums are everywhere and like subdivisions, offer payment plans. Newer condos can be overpriced so be picky.
Where to Buy
Deciding which island to buy on is a complicated affair. I would suggest thinking about the kind of environment you like.
Every major island in the Philippines has an area with ample countryside but not every island has a major city. Mindaneao is well worth considering as it is under developed.
Cebu is middle of the road, there is a good size city and a geographically diverse countryside. Bohol is an almost entirely agricultural island with a quaint seaside town. Palawan, often called the Philippines "Last Frontier", is vast and breathtaking. If the beach is your thing, you will find it in Palawan. Domestic travel is inexpensive so find out what island speaks to you.

The current bad weather has slowed progress on our Dipolog house and Lot and when we visited the site yesterday the workers were still pouring the concrete for the walls. This is quite a slow process with buckets of concrete having to be lifted to the top of the shuttering and then poured.
The outlines of all the ground floor rooms is now complete including the spaces in the living area where patio windows will be fitted. A door frame has been added to the space under the stair, where the electrical panel will be situated, which will also provide a storage area for some of my adventure gear.
The pillars for the car port and balcony have been incased and are ready for concrete pouring. During our visit we picked up a copy of the list of fixtures and fitting that have been ordered for the completion of our Dipolog house and Lot.
We are still awaiting confirmation on how our hot water will be supplied, so need to chase up the architect and site engineer on this matter when we next visit.

The Philippines are very protective when it comes to owning land in Philippines and if you are not a Philippine citizen there are a few options you can consider.
Family Links
As mentioned above, one must be a Filipino citizen to buy property and have it under their name. But, there are a few ways around this. A foreigner person can actually inherit land if they are a legal or natural heir, meaning acquisition by hereditary succession. A foreigner owning land hereditary is a rare instance, however.
The most common way of owning property would be if the foreigner person marries a Philippine citizen. The land title in this case, would be under the Filipino or Filipinas name. But in the event that the Filipino spouse dies, the property should remain in the hands of a Filipino. In such an instance, the foreigner may give the property to his Filipino children. If he doesnt have children, he may pass the property to a relative of the deceased Filipino spouse, or he may simply sell the property.
If you don't wish to become involved with a local spouse there are another couple of way to purchase property
Form a Filipino Corporation
A corporation is also an entity that acts as an individual. This entity is allowed to borrow, lease, and purchase property. In light of this, the Corporation can legally buy property as if it were an individual purchasing the property.
In the case of a foreigner buying property with a corporation, the corporation must be at least 60% owned by Filipino citizen/s and have at least five people within the corporation (this also includes the foreigner). And so, the foreigner can own up to 40% of the property.
Foreigners can legally own Condominiums
Condominiums are treated somewhat differently. This somewhat also follows the corporation principle of the 60%- 40% rule. Foreigners can own up to 40% of the development when they purchase a units they becomes a stockholder of condominium corporation.
Leasing Philippine Real Estate
The final option for the foreigner is that they or or their corporation can go into a leasing agreement with a Filipino who owns land. The lease can be held long term and the foreigner can enter into an initial 50-year contract that can be renewed for another 25 years. Any property built on the land is legally owned by the foreigner.

Hollow blocks is a backyard industry in the Philippines' and is not regulated. Hence, mostly the quality is poor. Drop a block on the floor and it breaks in many pieces. they are bot recommended to build your Dipolog house and lot.
Hollow blocks are nothing more than stones that you stack between the columns like Lego so you can make an opening in it to place the windows or doors; They cannot carry loads, the columns do that). They have no other function than being a wall. It's the cheapest way to make a wall but they are weak and they have to make the wall 4 inch or 6 inch thick to become strong enough. Consequently the wall becomes heavier than necessary. And since the wall consists of weak hollow blocks mixed with strong reinforcement bars, there is 'the weakest link factor' that makes the (too heavy-) wall prone to forces that want to find a way out and results in cracks.
The strength of a hollow block wall is much less than poured concrete walls.
Hollow blocks also need to be plastered (covered with a separate thin layer of a cement/sand mix) which is time-consuming and it might crack; exposing the steel reinforcement bars which will rust.
When using blocks the columns (posts and beams) carry the second floor and/or your roof. Hence the weight of your house put pressure only on the little footings of the columns and you have to be pretty sure that your soil can hold that.
Now compare that with poured Concrete Walls which are strong enough to carry the next floors and roof. The weight of your house put pressure on the walls columns and beams. That's a much bigger surface.

We paid a brief visit to our Dipolog house and lot yesterday to check on progress and the house is beginning to take shape with the shuttering for the outer walls of ground floor 80% completed. Interior shuttering of maids room, general toilet, Dirty kitchen all completed.
Door frames have been installed however two frames need changing around as exterior doors need to open outwards giving more room in the interior of house. Having outwards opening doors I believe ads to safety and security. If someone tries to force entry they have to break the door frame and in event of fire it is easier to push the door open.
I am pleased with method of construction using reinforced poured concreate as opposed to blocks so house will better withstand any earth tremors. I need to check wiring plans as it seems some electrical plan updates may be missing, but as I believe these are on the upper floor it should not delay work.

When you have you Dipolog house and lot built in a gated community the developer will probable have a contracted labour force who can produce a reasonable standard result. I know from experience that often house construction is undertaken various members of the family who have little or no formal experience and to be honest qualified workers often go overseas where they can earn more money.
General workers are as the their title says general workers but not experts in any particular field and this can cause problems. One day they are working on the walls, the next the wiring and then the plumbing, so you need to keep an eye on things otherwise you may find shortcuts are taken. Wiring or appliances not earthed, switches installed the wrong way around. Concrete not given enough time to mix in the mixer before being poured, bath units installed and supported by sand or other rubbish
It is advisable to pay regular visits to your Dipolog house and lot to check progress and correct any errors before they are hidden from site with the potential to cause problems at a later date.

Since moving to the Philippines one major issue is electricity power supply and it seems to be a common problem. Basically the power companies are not generating enough power to serve their consumer base which continues to expand. Part of the problem is the numbers of expats moving to the Philippines and using more electrical gadgets that the locals although the more affluent Philippines are quickly catch up.
I first noticed the problem when using a computer which started to trip off, so I purchased a UPS(Uninterrupted power supply) which includes an automatic voltage regular(AVR) and this solved the problem. Now other people have had problems with equipment such as microwaves, and air conditioners and have solved these problems by purchasing AVR's
I am hoping that the supply in Upper Turno where I have purchased my Dipolog House and lot is better that where I am living otherwise I may need to purchase an AVR for my Kitchen appliances.

Yesterday we paid a visit to out Dipolog house and lot for sale in Upper Turno. progress appears to be good considering the many recent rain storm. The foundations are nearly completed. The base has been packed with sand and stone, compacted and leveled out, and the wire mesh for the concreting was being installed. The bases of the reinforcements for the pillars of the car port and porch have been completed and wire frame set up.
The driveway has been roughly carved out, so now we can envisage both the layout of the ground floor with main living area, stairway, shared bathroom, maids room and extension for dirty kitchen.
The front of the house will have a garden boarded on one side by the driveway and we plan to have a small vegetable plot at the back corner of the house which is shaded in the afternoon.
Completion of the structure is estimated to be four months.

Dipolog house and lot for sale When you have purchased you Dipolog house and lot, you need to consider your relocation costs, which can become a major item if you are not careful. If you are working normally your company will relocate you, however if you are retired you need to work thing out for yourself.
Before we moved to the Philippines we had heard many stories about large customs fees and storage charges and reports of pilfering even if a container was used. One that really concerned me was a packed container that was inspected by customs and then the lock was replaced with a bolt, during its transfer from Manila to another island a number of packages went missing.
We approached a number of international removers such as Crown, Pickfords, Four winds but the cost estimates where very high as we only needed a part container load. We then looked at courier companies such as DHL and LBC, which offered somewhat lower cost for part loads. Considering our possessions had mainly sentimental value, we approached a local shipping and forwarding agent, who initially gave me a very competitive price to ship to Manila, which would leave me with the problem of moving everything from Manila to Dipolog. Their agent in Manila seemed unable to help until we remembers a Fast ferry Service operates to most of the Philippines from Manila and they have a cargo company 2GO.com.ph. We passed this information to my Shipping company in Kota Kinabalu and they were then able to a agree a door to door service at a very low rate, including handling customs clearing and storage in Manila, with a time estimate of two months.
As time was not of the essence as we had not yet purchased our Dipolog house and lot, this was agreed and we packed our possessions in wooden and cardboard boxes, suitcases and bags plus a sea kayak These were picked up and stored for 3 weeks until they were loaded on a ship bound for Manila via Singapore. There was a delay at customs in Manila for 9 days due to weekend and public holiday
but as my partner is a returning Philippino no duty to pay. Our packages were re containerised and ship to Osamis and then transhipped by small lorry to our home. All packages arrived in good condition and none had been opened or tampered with. A pleasant surprise especially so as my toolbox had not even been locked.

One thing I have noticed when looking for a Dipolog house and lot for sale is the way some floor and wall tiles are often laid in an amateur fashion. People often assume that floors are level and walls are vertical, but it is not so.
A common error is to to start at one side or a room and work towards the other, this will often result in an odd gap at one side of a room. When laying floor tiles you need to find the exact centre of the room, If the room is an odd shape work from the centre of the main area, towards the outside, this will ensure an even border at the edges of the room.
To help align wall tiles you need to fix a batten about one tile above the floor, ensure the batten is level by using a spirit level. Measure to the centre of the wall and lay the the centre of the first tile at this point, then work outwards to the edge. ensure the tiles butt well with each other or use plastic spacers to keep tiles aligned correctly.

Once you have set your mind on building a Dipolog house and lot and work has started I strongly recommend that you keep a close eye on things, even going as far as employing your own engineer/surveyor to keep an eye on progress.
Like builders in many parts of Asia the workers are not always trained and many have gone abroad where they can earn more money with a result that some things are done in a slapstick manner. Fore example using concrete rubble instead of stones in foundation work, using to much water when making concrete and not allowing leaving the concrete in the mixer for sufficient time to get a good mix.
I know of houses that have been completed, where entrance gates cannot be opened as they were set below the road level. Kitchen cabinets overlapping and hiding the decorative finish of tiles. Poor quality joining work with large amounts of epoxy filler used.
I even heard of house with a gas stove built in with no gas supply piping plumbed in outside storage which is contrary to building standards.
When I lived in Cyprus a friend of mine told me about an apartment where the plumbing in the bathroom was was not connected,it was not discovered for some weeks until a foul smell permeated the apartment and a wall started to bulge. Major renovations were required.

If you are looking to purchase a Dipolog house and plot for sale I would always recommend buying New as it is less likely that there will be difficulties with Title. although foreigners are not allowed to own land, they can purchase condominiums and some town houses. they can also enter into lease agreements.
One thing I have learnt is most people belive that foreigner are affluent and can become targets of scams. If you are transacting a change of title of the property its is essential to ensure you deal with the person whose name is on the title do not trust an intermediary. check original documents not photocopies. Photocopies of documents are ok in the early stages, but never hand over money based on photocopies. Some people have been caught out.
Dealing with a developer is generally more straight forward, but do your homework, check out the land titles and if possible speak with other people who have purchased from the developer before you.

Dipolog house and lot for sale - Roofing
Most houses in the Philippines use a metal roof as they are cheap and easy to replace however unless they are insulated they are a veritable heat trap in the tropics. people have tried Terracota tiles but they can crack in the heat or become discoloured over time. I have decided that the roof of my Dipolog house and lot for sale will be done with ashfelt roof shingles which offer a far more affordable option than sheet metal or concrete roof tiles.
As a roofing material roof shingles offer a far more practical solution today, they not only look great fixed to any roofing structure but they also offer more rewarding energy conservation because of the insulation quality that is associated with asphalt shingles. By using a more energy conscious roofing material alternative you are helping to protect the environment in which we all live. Quality roofing materials will bring your Dipolog house and lot for sale to life with a more modern look that will value you add to your homes resale value.
Traditional metal roofs fade and can rust not to mention the leaking issues and noise issues. Metal roofs have a tendency to make large expansion bangs on hot days as well as offer poor insulation qualities. Whilst traditional tiled roofs can crack in extreme weather conditions, crack from hail, leak and be very expensive to replace, not to mention the maintenance issues associated with roof tiles.
It is an obvious choice roof shingles make the very best roofing material choice and with more Dipolog house and lot home owners choosing roof shingles on new home construction as well as home renovations due to the light weight, better insulation and strength qualities.

Dipolog house and lot for sale - Electricity Supply
The Electricity supply system in the Philippines is very different to what I have been used to in the past in UK. Cyprus and Malaysia which use an earthed three wire 240V system with switches on sockets to prevent electric shocks when plugging in and removing leads.
Here in most of the Philippines(there are a few exceptions): You will find a transformer on a pole somewhere near your house, it will be serving several houses in the neighbourhood. It will have 2 lugs on the secondary with 220 volts between them. There will be 1 wire from each lug going to each house. One and only one of the lugs should also have a second bare copper wire connected to it with the other wire and this bare wire will run down the pole to a ground rod at the base of the pole. The 2 large wires running to each house (service drop) will have the hot wire insulated and the other (neutral) may be bare or insulated. After passing through the electric meter these wires go to your fuse or breaker box. The hot wire will connect to the supply bus where the fuses or breakers are. The neutral wire will connect to the neutral busbar which is directly mounted to the metal box. There SHOULD also be a bare wire going from the neutral busbar to a copper ground rod at each house. From the fuse or breaker box there will be one black 220 volt hot wire from the fuse or breaker and one white neutral wire from the neutral buss for each circuit. This is what you should have in the majority of the simple Philippine 2 wire systems.
The Philippine system is a grounded system where the neutral wire is connected to a ground rod at the pole where the transformer is and also a ground rod and/or cold water pipe at each house. This keeps the transformer secondary from floating: the neutral wire at zero volts and the hot wire about 220 volts, depending on the service companys supply voltage. The neutral wire will be at zero volts because it is connected to ground. If you have anything other than zero volts, you have a loose, dirty, or missing connection to the ground rod; or you are using your volt meter incorrectly (which is not unusual). The neutral wire is also called the GROUNDED wire and it should have white insulation throughout the house.
There may be a 3rd green or bare wire, which is missing most of the time in the Philippines, It is called the GROUNDING wire. It is connected to the neutral wire in the fuse/breaker box either in the same neutral busbar mounted to the metal box or a separate GROUNDING busbar, but they should be connected together and only in the fuse/breaker box, this is the one and only time they should ever be connected together. Throughout the house this GROUNDING wire should connect to the 3rd round prong of each socket, all metal electric switch/ socket boxes, green hex head GROUNDING screws, and eventually all metal frames of all electric appliances. This keeps the metal parts of the electric system and appliances at zero volts. The same Zero volts your human body is, so no shocks.
Throughout the house the white GROUNDED wire is at zero volts and is a current carrying part of each circuit. The green or bare GROUNDING wire is also at zero volts, is not part of the circuit, and does not carry current (except in a fault). Its purpose is to keep all metal parts of the system and metal parts of the appliances at zero volts, and to trip the breaker or blow the fuse and shut the circuit down in the case of a fault.
Regarding fuses or breakers, there should be one, and only one, in each circuit and it should be in the hot wire. There should never be a fuse or breaker in the neutral white GROUNDED wire, usually you will find this mistake in the old 2 fuse boxes.
If you buy your material in US, and bring it to Philippines, you just need to ensure that the US
material is tested to be used on 240 volt, where it is normally used on 110 only. Especially this can be very important as the humidity in Phil often is very high, and if the isolation barriers is too low, it will create a arc, ignite and burn the isolation material away.

Ground Breaking
Today is the big day for our Dipolog house and lot for sale as the site has been cleared and the area for foundation marked out so work can start on building of Philippine dream house.
I was unable to post to this Dipolog house and lot for sale site for the past two days due to power outages in Sindangan where we are living for the moment. We know Dipolog used to have the same problem until new lines where laid last year, so we are looking forward to a secure supply when we move.
Earlier this week we visited our Dipolog house and lot for sale in order to choose fixtures and fittings. so we now have chosen our bathroom suites, wall and floor tiles, door handles and fittings roof shingles and exterior paint colour.
We also had time to introduce ourselves to out new Neighbours who come from Canada, who are just getting around to fitting out their house which was finished a year ago. they gave us some good tips one of which is to carry out regular inspections during the building to ensure the interpretation of the plans is carried out the way you expect it. Once things are done it is difficult to get them changed, we certainly plan to make regular unannounced checks on progress.
One task we still have outstanding is to approve the electrical plans, I did have a question about the number of halogen light fitting, however having seen my neighbours house I see how They work as they are on dimmer switches so can provide a varied lighting effect in addition to central lights. We also need to add some additional telephone and TV point. It seems in the Philippines like other parts of Asia hot water is not used for washing dishes so we need to check that hot water is supplied to all basins showers and bath.
Bother job we still have outstanding is the paint colours we will work on this as out Dipolog house and lot takes shape.

The houses are cheap, the taxes low, the climate heavenly. Retirement South of the Philippines sounds too good to be true -- but it isn't, as long as you resist the impulse to rush.
Retirees should be able to analyse the facts and figures of living in the wonderful City of Dipolog for they seamlessly deserve to live here. Just read on in, and you could learn all about buying or renting property in the Orchid City. So I rushed to the streets to gather the truth, which was spectacularly breathtaking that changes from the busy Rizal Avenue to the exceptionally clean Dipolog Public Market within a five-block-walk, and into a continuing exhibition of beauty and culture as I went forward to smell the cool sea breeze in the Breakwater of Barangay Barra where the magnificent golden sunset opposite the Top Plaza Hotel.
Dipolog City real estate continuous to appreciated greatly and that the central historic district remains the focus of attention for most people. The amount of development in recent years, however, has led to a slowdown, due to the worldwide financial crisis, however the Philippines provides good value for money.
Mediatrix Hills Subdivision site at Barangay Turno, still has house and lots for sale. The subdivision, is an ideal place for retirees -- those ranging, say, from the very lowest cost to no more than Php 7 Million. There are a number of set models to choose from or you can design your own. 4 models of houses, all having an average lot size of 300 square meters, the Khristian, Raymond, Ralph and Henrich all with a spectacular view of the Linabo Mountain and located two hundred twenty (220) meters away from the National Highway, is not cheap. But add the views, the beauty, the stone, brick and tile work -- not to mention the incredible climate -- and these houses would cost far, far more in Metro Manila, Cebu or even in Malaysia let alone Europe and the USA.
Buy for cash and then live cheap
The arguable advantage of price, however, isn't the end of the story. The real benefit of housing in Dipolog is in the details.
Like it or not, you probably won't have a mortgage because most houses are sold for cash. So if you've got the money to buy, you won't have a monthly payment. This also works to make a more solid market -- you'll never be surrounded by foreclosures.
Taxes are very low. While most houses in Metro Manila are taxed based on values that approximate the market, appraisers here value houses. Their valuation is significantly below recent market prices. As a consequence, tax bills of 2% or 1% for the basic or government fund plus 1% goes to the especial education fund is all you have to pay in a year of the total market value of a residential property as stated by Mr. Sancen D. Caroro of the City Treasurers Office.
Operating expenses are very low. With a year-round temperate climate, Dipolog City has a handful of homes that could withstand such weather. People in the city doesnt use gas logs in their fireplace which is not very common but still gas and electric bills are low. Water bills are also low. And insurance bills, if any, are small because fire hazards are limited and people aren't as litigious as in the United States.
Add all the costs, including a part-time or full-time maid, and a typical house can be run for around Php 4,000 a month. The cost of operating a house is a fraction of the cost of operating the same house in the United States, even though it includes something that very few Dipolognons can afford -- household help.
Don't be afraid to rent
The caveat side of the story is just as powerful.
Establishing reasonable measures of value isn't as easy in Dipolog as it is in the Metro Manila because there are no multiple listing services. With no pooled market of properties, it takes longer to discern values. I think this puts a real "due diligence" monkey on any buyer. It means that you need to read and check out local newspaper advertisements and click through as many Web sites as possible. (Community Website of Dipolog City and The Daily Dipolognon, Interactive News Website of Dipolog City, has plenty of rental and sales listings compared to any other websites, and you can see quite a number of houses for sale or rent on other locally published newspapers.)
In a short visit to Dipolog City, so many people fall in love with the city and buy a house in a matter of days that property is regularly for sale simply because the buyers' plans have changed or their infatuation has faded. In a week of looking I found houses that had been owned for less than a year and occupied for still less.
The rental market.
Unlike most cities in Metro Manila, Dipolog City has moderately developed market of houses and apartments. Rents start around Php 3,000 a month, frequently include all utilities and often you have the option to acquire maid service. It is also possible to do long-term rentals of partially-furnished houses which often include a refrigerator and sala set. What is striking about the rentals is that the monthly cost is significantly lower than you would expect from the purchase price. I found one two-bedroom apartment in a complex for instance, that could be rented for Php 3,000 to Php 4,500 a month.
Few rental-to-sale-price "spreads" are that dramatic, but the message is very clear: This is a buyer's market all the way down. No one needs to "panic buy" a house in Dipolog, because you can rent when you want for as long as you want. Nothing bad will happen to your money while you are renting. Indeed, if you are thinking of becoming the ultimate tourist and traveling to Dipolog for the festival months only, renting makes more sense than buying.
Finally, there is the rest of Dipolog. It's probably cheaper in other areas of the city, which means you have a lot of exploring to do because there are still a lot of properties where costs are lower and the climate, is even better.

Buying a Dipolog house and Lot which is for sale from a developer such as Mediatrix homes is quite simple. There are a number of sites including Mediatrix hills in Upper Turno which is located just few minutes from the town centre of Dipolog. The property is perched up on a downhill with mountain view backdrop for relaxing breezes and cool night temperatures. All of Mediatrix Hills Subdivision houses have panoramic mountain views as well as breathtaking sunrise to greet you in the morning.
We choose a lot on the edge of the development with a wall on one side, which has views over the nearby hills and the sun throughout the day. Having decided on the plot we then met with the architect to work out a house design. We placed a small deposit around 50,000 peso to reserve the plot whilst we worked out the plan of the house.
Before we left we were given a quotation based on the lot area and the floor area with a further 8% added to cover utilities roads etc. Financing was offered over either 5 or 10 years at 18% Interest.
Because we were in the Philippines for a only short period of time we did not sign the contract for some months. the contract itself is a simple two page document with the most important item being the copy of land Title.
As I am a foreigner I am not allowed to hold property however my name is on the contract and in the event of my wife dying before me The property would need to be sold
Once the document was signed we transferred funds from our bank, this was perhaps the most tedious task as the banks in the Philippines are still in the stone age and we had to wait some two hours at the bank for the transfer to be made from one PNB bank to Another.

I have spent a lot of time looking for a house and lot for sale neat Dipolog City. There is quite a choice included gated communities such as Mediatrix Hills in upper Turno district. My Initial searches were for beach front properties, however the beaches around Dipolog are mainly grey sand and somehow do not fit the image of living in the Tropics.
Security is a concern for some as parts of Mindaneao such as Zamboanga Del Sud are risky from a kidnapping point of view, however Zamboanga Del Norte(Zanorte) is relatively safe. The Philippine people are generally very friendly, however they do not always respect a persons privacy and are apt to borrow items without asking, so the idea of living in a gated community is quite appealing.
Gated Communities as well as offering security usually also offered shared facilities such a swimming pools and gyms, which saves costs of installing ones own.
If you have your own idea as to what kind of house you want to build, you can just purchase a plot and have the house of your dreams designed by an inhouse architect and constructed on you site.

Nopal Cactus Juice The Nopal cactus is used as a food, and the leaves, flowers, stems and fruit can all be used. cactus juice extracts have been used medicinally to lower blood glucose in Mexico and Central America.
The Nopal cactus contains mucopolysaccharide soluble fibers and phytochemicals, including pectin. These ingredients may slow carbohydrate absorption and decrease lipid absorption in the digestive tract.
It is difficult to find clinical studies published in English but there are many Spanish ones, although abstracts are available in English.
One trial, published in a 1988 issue of Diabetes Care (vol. 11, issue 1, pp. 63-66), was done with three groups of type 2 patients in Mexico who were treated with diet alone or in combination with sulfonylureas. Oral medications were discontinued 72 hours before Nopal was administered. After a 12- hour fast, one group of 16 patients received 500 grams of broiled Nopal stems; a second group of 10 received only 400 ml of water; and a third group of six received three tests: one with 500 grams of broiled Nopal stems, a second with 400 ml of water and a third with 500 grams of broiled zucchini.
Subjects had blood drawn at 60, 120 and 180 minutes after receiving the Nopal, water or zucchini.
The Nopal group had a significant decline from 222 mg/dl fasting to 203, 198 and 183 mg/dl, respectively, at 60, 120 and 180 minutes after receiving the treatment. This group also experienced a significant decrease in blood insulin levels. Researchers speculate that this points toward a Nopal effect of increased insulin sensitivity.

Nopal Cactus Juice The native peoples of the Sonoran Desert region of the U.S. Southwest and Northern Mexico have used the Nopal cactus plant for food and medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. Health researchers are now uncovering the secrets of this amazing edible cactus plant.
Research shows that the Pima Indians who eat a traditional diet of Nopal cactus fruit have an average life span 20 years longer than the Pima Indians who have switched to a western style diet. The first group lives on average to the age of seventy one. The second group has a life expectancy of only fifty one years.
The diabetes rates are dramatically different for the two groups as well. The first group of Pima Indians has a zero percent incidence of diabetes at age 40 while the second group has an 80% incidence of diabetes by age 40!
The Pima Indians who regularly eat Nopal cactus fruit are known to participate in endurance events including 150 mile foot races!
Nopal Cactus Research
Between 1989 and 1991 a study conducted by a prominent Mexican hospital indicated that the Nopal cactus is beneficial against diabetes. Other more recent studies support this conclusion. The Nopal cactus has the ability to lower blood glucose levels and increase insulin production.
Other studies show the Nopal cactus also supports the liver, pancreas and helps to reduce oxidative stress.

Nopal Cactus Juice Inflammation and Arthritis
Many people do not understand that Arthritis is caused by inflammation. Inflammation is a process in which the body's white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.
In some diseases, however, the body's defence system (immune system) triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called autoimmune diseases, the body's normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal.
What Diseases Are Associated With Inflammation?
Some, but not all types of arthritis, are the result of misdirected inflammation. Arthritis is a general term that describes inflammation in joints. Some types of arthritis associated with inflammation include:
The symptoms of inflammation include:
When joints are concerned the increased blood flow and release of these chemicals attract white blood cells to the sites of inflammation. The increased number of cells and inflammatory substances within the joint can cause irritation, wearing down of cartilage (cushions at the end of bones), and swelling of the joint lining (synovium).
Nopalea cactus juice taken on a daily basis can relieve this this inflammation and associated pain.

Nopal Cactus Juice Many people do not realise that sleepless nights can be caused by inflammation and people who take Nopal cactus juice on a daily basis report they sleep more soundly.
Rubin Naiman, sleep specialist and clinical assistant professor of medicine at the University of Arizonas Enter for Integrative Medicine, points to a whack of research that links sleep debts to a rise in cortisol levels and inflammation biomarkers. And it goes both ways. Sleeplessness increases chronic inflammation, Naiman says, but chronic inflammation also increases sleeplessness. Our bodies should do exactly what the planet does when the sun goes down, says Naiman. All of the heat absorbed during the day should dissipate and steadily decrease throughout the night before reaching its lowest point just before the dawn and coming back up, he says. Sleep is a release of energy. Scientists have found, though, that people suffering from sleep disorders dont get cool enough at night because theyre inflamed. In some cases, their body temperature literally qualifies as a fever state (over 37ºC), says Naiman.
Here are a few tips for those who suffer from the occasional bout of insomnia and are looking for ways to get a better nights sleep:

Nopal Cactus Juice Nopal cactus juice is naturally sweetened with Agave nectar, it has no added sugar and tastes fantastic! Making it one of the natural things that can be used by diabetics.
You may expect anything that is really good for you to taste bad! Cod liver oil, cough syrups, those nasty cough drops, any prescription medicine (if you manage to not get it swallowed before it starts to dissolve), liver, soy products, how about carob
This may be my personal list and experiences. The opposite also seems to be true, most things that taste really good are really not beneficial to our bodies.
Sugar is a great taste danger, in its many forms, it tastes great! Candy bars, ice cream, soda pop, cakes, pies, doughnuts and all those things that my sweet tooth craves! Sugar has been blamed for weight gains, dental problems, hyperactivity in children, and other increased health problems. These all have all been contributed to Americas increasing consumption of sugar. Cheese Burgers, pizza, hot wings, juicy cheese and bacon burgers... fattening. Weight gain and cholesterol seem to stick in my mind.
Tastes good, bad for you. Tastes bad, it must be good for you. but Nopal cactus juice is a great tasting healthy treat.
As people get older and wiser older, they try to eat much healthier and take exercise to take better care of themselves. Nopal cactus juice provides natural relief from aches and pains.
Nopal cactus juice in fact does taste really good, but it comes only from all natural sources. Nopal cactus fruit, the main active ingredient in Nopalea the Nopal cactus juice, tastes naturally sweet. The added taste comes from another desert plant, the Agave cactus. Agave nectar has been used and produced in Mexico as a sweetener for a long time. There are no other artificial sweeteners or sugar added. These ingredients are combined with other fruit and vegetable concentrates to maximize Nopalea's benefits to your health. The formula also uses a small amount of another sweetener and sugar substitute named Stevia which takes the bitter edge off of the added fruits and vegetables. Stevia has been used as a sugar substitute for many years in Japan.
The results of all of the research and formulation is a wellness cactus juice drink whose active ingredient Betalains relieve chronic inflammation, reduces pain in many cases and also helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Nopal Cactus Juice Nopal cactus juice is very good at fighting inflammation and reducing pain, however it is not a cure. So long as you keep taking a daily amount of around 1 ounce it seems to work. But be warned once you stop taking the product your inflammation will return. I know this because I ran short of my supply and missed taking my supplement for three days and the pain from by Arthritis returned. Upon restarting my daily regime the pain in my joints disappeared.
My wife also notices that she has a much better nights sleep when taking Nopalea and does not need sleeping pills, however missing just one night causes her to have a restless night.
Nopal cactus juice works for the vast majority of people but not for everyone, depending on the level of pain and inflammation to start with. The only way to find out is to give it a try. Many people are happy to be pain free for around $1 a day.

Nopal Cactus Juice Yesterday I wrote about Quercetins, one of the 24 Betalains in Nopalea. Its important to realize the significance of having all the 24 known Betalains in the Nopal Cactus juice and that this only occurs in the Sonoran Desert. If you replanted the Nopal Cactus in the Sahara Desert, it would only product about 12 Betalains. Why? Because the Sonoran Desert has the most extreme environment in the world and the Nopal Cactus needs all 24 to survive. Each Betalain plays an important part but to have all 24 in the Nopal cactus is very important for human health.
Another Betalain is Beta Xanthine and its one of the most important Betalains for detoxification. This particular Betalain participates in detoxification of the liver and kidneys. Two of our bodies major pollutant filters. Beta Xanthine makes the detoxification in our bodies much easier.
Our bodies burn food to create energy. What you eat is like gasoline to a car. We need to consider ourselves a high performance engine; the higher octane the gasoline: the more nutritious food we eat, the better the engine runs. When we process our foods; burn our fuel, the creation of energy is called metabolism: breaking the food down to basic components (catabolism), and using that fuel to promote our health (anabolism). Eating the right foods makes us healthy and energetic.
But, as you may have guessed, there is always a fly in the lemonade. Our bodies must cope with toxins throughout our wellness journey. Toxins attack our bodies from the outside (exotoxins), they are in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink, toxins are even created by our bodies (endotoxins), its a daily battle waged on our bodies by toxic attackers. A leader among the endotoxic attackers is uric acid. High levels of uric acid are poisonous and high levels have been associated with heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, kidney stones and gout.
Uric acid is neutralized in the liver by enzymes, interestingly enough, the same liver enzymes that detoxify uric acid also detoxify many other poisons. So, improving the liver detoxification of uric acid, may well improve your ability to detoxify many other toxins in your body. Every time you drink Nopalea cactus juice, you get a detoxifying bonus.
Uric acid is excreted by your kidneys, as you may know, your kidneys are extremely delicate and can be easily damaged by dehydration, too much protein or sugar in your diet, toxic metals like mercury, even other toxins like aspirin. Your kidneys can even be damaged by extreme temperatures in our environment, especially heat. We must protect our kidneys.
Beta Xanthine helps protect our liver and kidneys by neutralizing toxins such as uric acid and by increasing liver detoxification enzymes that rid our bodies of exotoxins and endotoxins and may even reduce the shock our kidneys face from excess heat.
Betalains, including Beta Xanthine, are anti-inflammatory and anti-toxin, just what the doctor ordered in a toxic and inflamed world! And, just like their grandfather Quercetin, Betalains are beneficial when it comes to improving our health and energy for daily performance.

Nopal Cactus Juice Everyone who has tried Nopalea cactus juice agrees, it just tastes great and it serves up jaw dropping results when it comes to fighting chronic inflammation. But, did you know that this breakthrough wellness drink contains a unique class of nutrients called Betalains? Betalains are Bioflavonoids in the Quercetin family.
A Bioflavonoid is a vitamin like substance that works in concert with antioxidants like Vitamin C. They are useful in helping us to make collagen so our skin looks young, and strengthening blood vessels so we dont bruise easily. Bioflavonoids help us resist allergens and infection from bacteria and viruses. They also have anti-inflammatory properties.
Quercetins are founds in foods we eat every day such as apples and onions. They are important in medical science because high intake of Quercetins coating foods results in low incidence of cancer and heart disease.
Betalains are the orphaned grandchildren of Quercetins. None of the plant species related in the development of Betalains have survived the test of time, they have all become extinct except for beets, Swiss Chard and Nopal fruit, plants that are not even distant cousins in the world of fruits and vegetables.
However, all 24 known Betalains are very important for human health. It is especially true today because they are all anti-toxin and anti-inflammatory. Environmental experts report dramatic increases in disease producing toxins in air, water and soil. Toxins produce inflammation, and most of the diseases we face start with inflammation: Alzheimers, cancer, heart disease, etc.
Betalain content develops in response to the environment in which the plant grows. The more extreme the environment, the more protective Betalains the plant needs to produce in order to survive, and the more benefits we get when we consume the fruits and leaves of these plants.
So, while we get a few benefits from beets and rainbow Swiss Chard, we get the greatest benefit from the specific Nopal cactus fruit juice of the Sonoran Desert because it contains all 24 known Betalains because it grows in the harsh desert conditions.

Nopal Cactus Juice A high intake of fruits and vegetables was found to be positively associated with a lower chance of many diseases in epidemiological studies and clinical trials linked to the every day damage caused by free radicals.
The free radicals are constantly formed as byproducts of aerobic metabolism in the human body (Davies, K. J. A). These are molecules or atoms with unpaired electrons; they are generally reactive oxygen or nitrogen species (ROS or RNS). The most common are superoxide, peroxyl radical, nitric oxide (NO), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-).
These free radicals have been associated with many chronic and degenerative diseases including, inflammatory disease, vascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and overall aging.
The body has developed a number of mechanisms to minimize free radical damage and even repair damage. Enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione reductase, as well as antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols play important roles in protecting the body from free radical damage. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is present in both the mitochondria and the cytosol. Hydrogen peroxide can be easily transformed into the dangerous hydroxyl radical via reaction with Fe2+. Catalase reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form water and oxygen. Glutathione peroxidase can also react with hydrogen peroxide, by reducing hydrogen peroxide and oxidizing glutathione but all these physiological protective mechanisms are still not protecting has from developing disease.
Dietary antioxidants are believed to be good external sources for protection, working in synergism with the free radical defence mechanism along with the enzymatic processes in the body.
Nitric oxide (NO) is an inorganic free radical that functions as an intracellular messenger and effector molecule. It is produced during the conversion of arginine to citrulline and its production is catalyzed by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (Knowles, R. G).
NOS has three isoforms: NOS I, II, and III. Out of these three isoforms, only NOS II is inducible and is produced during macrophage activation. Macrophage activation is thus accompanied by the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase and sustained release of NO (MacMicking)
Synthesis of NO endows macrophages with cytostatic or cytotoxic activity against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and tumour cells (Nathan, Hibbs) thus decreasing inflammation.
During the inflammatory process a chemical is released known as myeloperoxidase (MPE).
This is the most powerful oxidant produced by the human neutrophil during acute inflammation, especially from infection or cancer. Betalains found in the Nopal cactus fruit extinguish the fire of inflammation caused by MPE and protect the healthy cells. Betalains rescue the cell by quenching the fire of free radicals.
There are times when the body cannot heal itself. If Inflammation overwhelms a cell it may be damaged beyond repair. Damaged, dead cells must be removed or they will become the focus of infection and illness. Betalains assist macrophage to engulf the dead cell and eliminate it from your body. Then, toxins are drained away from the cell and the protein matrix of Betalains permeates and reinforces the cell, returning it to health. In addition, Betalains drain toxic waste water surrounding the cells and create a cooling environment conducive to cell health.
It is estimated that 27 million Americans age 25 and older have inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Although osteoarthritis is more common in older people, younger people can develop it usually as the result of a joint injury, a joint malformation, or a genetic defect in joint cartilage. Both men and women have the disease. Before age 45, more men than women have osteoarthritis; after age 45, it is more common in women. It is also more likely to occur in people who are overweight and in those with jobs that stress particular joints. As the population ages, the number of people with osteoarthritis will increase and by 2030, about 20 percent of Americans about 72 million people will have passed their 65th birthday and will be at high risk for the disease.
Osteoarthritis, sometimes called degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage in your joints wears down over time. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body, though it most commonly affects joints in the hands, hips, knees and spine. Osteoarthritis typically affects just one joint, though in some cases, such as with finger arthritis, several joints can be affected. Osteoarthritis gradually worsens with time, and no cure exists. But osteoarthritis treatments can relieve pain and help you remain active. Taking steps to actively manage your osteoarthritis may help the individual gain control over osteoarthritis pain. (American Cancer Society, 2008)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic disease of unknown origin that predominantly involves synovial tissue. RA affects 1.3 million Americans or 0.5%1.0% of the global population, with females affected more frequently than males.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious disease and prevention and early diagnosis are the best treatment in order to prevent severe deformity and joint erosion. The etiology of RA is unknown but seems to be multifactorial. There is a certain genetic susceptibility, and studies in twins indicate a concordance of about 15%20%. Environmental factors (smoking) or infectious agents are suggested to play a role in the etiology, but their contribution has yet to be defined (Oliver J. Sommer, 2003).

Nopal Cactus Juice The Nopal cactus is also known as the Opuntia ficus-indica or prickly pear, a commonly found cactus with with scarlet flowers growing in the southwestern US as well as in the Sonoran Desert of Mexico. It is a staple food among the natives living in Sonoran Desert, providing them with a quality source of nutrients and health benefits.
After scientists have thoroughly researched their properties and the best way to process natural Nopal cactus, they are now available in a variety of health products such as Nopal cactus fruit juice, Nopal cactus capsules, prickly pear powder etc and also made into Nopal cactus appetite suppressant for weight loss and control.
Natural Nopal cactus juice extracted from the prickly pear fruits is a valuable source of the Betalains antioxidants. Betalains are only found in a few types of fruits and vegetables that has a natural occurring pinkish red pigmentation, for example rainbow Swiss chard and beets.
These Betalains antioxidants help to destroy free radicals inside our bodies so that they will not be able to damage our healthy cells. It has been identified that free radicals are the main cause of cell aging and general poor health, which is why Nopal cactus fruit juice is becoming popular as an natural anti-aging health supplement.

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces Inflammation and Pain The constantly increasing demand of natural food products is associated with the pronounced request for natural ingredients and supplements to prevent or treat disease. The multiple functional properties of the Nopal cactus from the Sonoran desert fit well this trend.
In this blog, we describe the multiple functional properties of Nopal cactus juice and the beneficial influence in prevention or treatment of inflammatory disease like Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis (OA). The Nopal cactus juice contains high antioxidant capacity in vitro of Betalains, especially for superoxide and peroxyl scavenging, which decrees inflammation and rescue cells under attack by the free radicals, therefore increasing the fruits possible health benefits.
Betalains act to clean up the dead cells and help to prevent them from becoming a target for disease and was found to be a potential cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 inhibitor. It also showed a weak effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide but no effect on either lymphocyte proliferation or phagocytic capacity.
Several studies in research related the importance of diets and use of supplements in the prevention of inflammatory disease like Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis (OA), a common type of arthritis with increased number in the aging population.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often dismissed as joint aches associated with aging, is a chronic disease mainly characterized by inflammation of the synovial membrane of the joints causing pain, warmth, stiffness, redness and swelling around the joint. As the disease progress to chronic stages, the growth of a pannus covering the synovial membrane causes the membrane to be thickened. This process is mediated by production of various cytokines, for example, tumor necrosis factor (TNF- ) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) by antigen-presenting cells and T cells.
The inflamed cells release enzymes that may digest bone and cartilage, often causing the involved joint to lose its shape, alignment, and loss of movement. Intra-articular loose bodies may develop as a consequence of the inflammatory process, thus perpetuating the inflammation themselves. Hyperemia is the first step in the inflammatory cascade. It is a hallmark of acute inflammation and is also seen in exacerbation of chronic disease. This process is reversible. As the inflammation goes on, an infiltration by inflammatory cells is noted. As long as there is no fibrosis and no cartilage or bone destruction, it is to be assumed that the process might be fully reversible. Lymphatic tissue organizes. A spectrum of cytokines and proteases is excreted, causing destruction of cartilage and bone. Because it is a chronic disease, RA continues indefinitely and may not go away.
Many publications list the many benefits of taking supplements for the prevention of inflammation, hypertension, cancer, and the importance of proper diet and supplements during treatments. (Bruera, Strasser, Palmer, Wiley, Calder et al., 2003; Norman, Butrum, Feldman, Heber, Nixon et al., 2003; Bauer & Capra, 2004)

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation Nopal Cactus, at times referred to in English as Prickly Pear, Indian Fig or "Barbary Fig" is scientifically categorized as Opuntia Spp, a generic name referring to over 200 species of the Opuntia cacti family, known popularly as the Nopal cactus.
Nopal Cactus or the vegetable and fruit variety of Opuntia Spp primarily is a nutritional plant and food with a 12,000 year safety record. Originating in the volcanic region of Mesoamerica now known as Mexico, Nopal has been offering mankind this staple food and nutritional plant for thousands of years and therefore, many years before the Aztecs migrated to this Mesoamerican region.
The prophetic Nopal Vision of Aztec civilization in Mesoamerica (Mexico) was founded on a myth or legend. The popular belief that During the fourteenth century, [the god] Huitzilopochtli told the Aztec chieftain that their new homeland would be on the island in Lake Texcoco, and when they reached the island they were to look for an eagle eating a snake perched on a cactus growing from a rock or cave surrounded by water. This would be the location where they were to build their city and honour him.They found this location and began to build their city around the year 1325 AD. Aztec translation for Nopal, in the native nahuatl language is Nochtli. Thus the name for the new city Tenochtitlan or The place of the Nopal cactus. Tenochtitlan is now Mexico City, yet the Aztec Nopal vision is preserved on the National flag.
So central was Nopal to the many indigenous tribes of Mexico that they are the root of Mexico City's Aztec name Tenochtitlan meaning "place of the cactus". In cases of drought, Nopal was the lifeblood of ancient cultures in Mexico for it was both food for the indigenous tribes and their livestock. Nopal was also used to soothe wounds and stiffen cloth, purify water and waterproof paint. It strengthened mortar and was used fence off valued animals and to protect habitats from wild ones. Cattle that grazed on the Nopales were said to develop a special flavour to their meat and milk.
The Nopal cactus (prickly pear) has been used medicinally by the indigenous peoples of this region for centuries. It has been used traditionally to lower blood sugar levels and to reduce the side effects of drinking too much alcohol.
The juice of the cactus pads has been used for scrapes and minor burns. According to research studies the Nopal cactus fruit (figs) helps to reduce pain and inflammation associated with a number of ailments.
The reason Nopal cactus fruit has so many health benefits is due to the high number of Betalains found in the fruit. Betalains are antioxidant proteins. They give the Nopal fruit its bright colour. Due to the hot summers and cold winters in areas of the Sonoran Desert the Nopal cactus produces high levels of Betalains to protect itself from the elements. There are 24 known Betalains and the Nopal cactus of the Sonoran Desert is the only plant that contains up to all 24. Nopal cactus found in other areas of the world do not have the same number of Betalains. Other foods containing Betalains are Swiss Chard and beets. Neither one of these foods have the same number of Betalains as can be found in Nopal cactus fruit.
The pad of the Nopal cactus has been used as a vegetable in Mexico for centuries. They are called "nopalitos" in Spanish. The spines on the prickly pear cactus pads are removed and the pad is then grilled over the fire like a juicy steak.
The ripe Nopal cactus fruit can be eaten like any fresh fruit with one caution; even the fruit has little spines on the surface and must be handled with care. The cactus fig must be split open with a sharp knife and the inner fruit eaten or scooped into a bowl. Nopal cactus fruit tastes like a ripe watermelon. Fresh Nopal cactus fruit can be eaten by itself or added to a tasty smoothie drink.
Here is a recipe for a healthy Sonoran Desert smoothie: The Nopal cactus juice and pulp have also been added to a nutrition drink called Nopalea. This is the most convenient way to benefit from the many health promoting qualities of the Nopal cactus.

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation "I am so blessed that I found Nopalea. I was lying in bed with constant fatigue and muscle pain, when I turned on the TV and saw the infomercial from Nopalea. I am a woman of strong faith and I had been praying for some answer to my worsening condition. I was so excited to hear the testimonial, but was somewhat skeptical.
I have tried a lot of products over the years for my various health conditions with mixed results. I can honestly say that within two days of starting Nopalea, I felt a change, especially a sense of well-being that had been missing for some time. All of a sudden, I felt so creative again and had a new spring in my step. The following week, the pains that were in my hip, knee and shoulder were practically gone. I hardly suffered from headaches. I found myself multitasking all day and into the evening. My energy had increased and my many health conditions were improving dramatically. I am living life to the fullest. Now my husband is also taking Nopalea because he would come home every day with pain in his legs, neck and back.
My hope and prayer is that anyone whose health is compromised, or is in pain will give Nopalea a try. Everyone today is so skeptical because every one claims they have the answer... well guess what, Trivita's got it right" This is one of a number of Nopal cactus juice testimonials published in the Feb 2011 edition of Vita Journal published by TriVita.

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation "I have been living with high blood sugar and chronically stiff, swollen and painful joints for many years. these conditions have produced debilitating fatigue, decreased range of motion and sever joint pain. Inflammation is something I have experienced on a daily basis. Medication has only been partial helpful in alleviating these symptoms.
At first I was very skeptical a the thought of trying Nopalea, but then I started the Loading Phase. I am surprised and absolutely delighted at how well Nopalea is working for me. I sleep better and wake up feeling more fully rested. I have stamina and energy during the entire day. My body feels much better and my general sense of well being has dramatically improved. The flexibility and function of my joins are showing improvement and the deformities on my hands are beginning to diminish in size.
I am grateful to have hope again and to be able to look forward to continued better health and productive energy" This is one of a number of Nopal cactus juice testimonials published in the Feb 2011 edition of Vita Journal published by TriVita.

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation "I have a history of chronic lower back and knee joint stiffness and pain. Over the years, I've attempted a wide variety of traditional and alternative treatments, but most didn't work. I was skeptical about Nopalea, but decided to give it a try.
I have to say that aside from my happy marriage,Nopalea ranks as the nest best decision I've ever made. My lower back is virtually pain free, and I'm able to exercise with full range of motion and dexterity. My knees are so much improved that I'm considering a jogging regime again. The most remarkable thing is the amazing increase in energy and stamina. I've never felt this good before. what a truly amazing result from a product that I almost didn't try"

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation "I suffer from a debilitating degenerative condition and have been confines to a wheelchair for the past two years. Until recently, I was taking over the counter pain medications on a daily basis to help eliminate the chronic pain and inflammation in my knees,feet and hands. During my last doctor visit, he suggested that I discontinue the use of these pain relievers. Prescribed medication made me feel drowsy and groggy. I decided that I needed to find another way to control my pain.
I discovered Nopalea while watching a late night infomercial on TV and decided to give it a try. I gradually began feeling better two weeks into the Nopalea loading phase. At this point I decided to try exercising my legs again on a portable bicycle machine.
After my fifth week on Nopalea, my 14 year old daughter noticed I was able to exercise for a full hour without stopping, and I was no longer complaining about pain. After taking Nopalea for the past four months, my pain and inflammation have dramatically subsided.
I will be celebrating my 49th birthday next month, and I look forward to doing with less pain thanks to Nopalea"

I have migraines,sinus problems, and chronically stiff,swollen and painful joints in my hands,elbows and knees.

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation "for several years I've been dealing with sever headaches and neck pain.Two years ago a test showed I had enlarged disks in the base of my neck.I was also diagnosed with chronically swollen, stiff and painful joints. Every day and night I suffered through the pain. My doctor told me the only way to get some relief was to have surgery. I knew there had to be another way.
I first heard about Nopalea on television and decided to give it a try. when my Nopalea arrived, I immediately started drinking it, carefully following the suggested loading phase. After I had finished the second bottle I noticed a tremendous decrease in pain.
I'm a CNA(certified Nursing Assistant) at a nursing home, a rewarding job but it requires a lot of bending and lifting. Nopalea has enabled me to work nearly pain free! I have more energy during the day day and sleep better at night. I'm exercising again and even mowed my lawn this past summer. Nopalea is truly amazing. I'm astonished what this wonderful wellness drink has done for me. I feel great"

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation Inflammation is a response of our immune system to injury or irritation. Through inflammation our body attempts to remove the cause of injury by producing pain, swelling, redness and heat. The pain lets us know about the damage and the swelling protects us as it prevents us from moving that body part which could cause more irritation. Inflammation can be acute or chronic.
Acute inflammation Chronic inflammation Factors that cause inflammation
Several factors may cause inflammation. Among them we find:
As you may have guessed by now, reducing inflammation seems to be crucial to prevent a wide range of chronic illnesses that have the potential of shortening our lives.

Nopal Cactus Juice According to an article in Time magazine
"
inflammation has become one of the hottest areas of medical research. Hardly a week goes by without the publication of yet another study uncovering a new way that chronic inflammation does harm to the body. It destabilizes cholesterol deposits in the coronary arteries, leading to heart attacks and potentially even strokes. It chews up nerve cells in the brains of Alzheimers victims. It may even foster the proliferation of abnormal cells and facilitate their transformation into cancer. In other words, chronic inflammation may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age."
In an effort to find a cure, many non-prescription products continue to pop up in the market. For several years now, Mangosteen, which according to some studies, is "compared to the strongest anti-inflammatory drug available." I believe, at one time, that may have been the case. However, today we have a new discovery, TriVitas Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.
TriVitas Nopalea (made from the Nopal cactus) specifically targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly.[5] Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.
Harnessing the power of betalains, a rare and potent class of antioxidants that flourish in the Nopal cactus, not only helps to fight inflammation, it combats the poisons that attack our bodies on a daily basis. These poisons in our body come from the air we breather, the water we drink, and the food we eat; Nopalea attacks these poisons where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies.
According to Marcelle Pick, NP OB/GYN, "our bodies werent designed for modern life. Were sitting ducks to a daily barrage of toxins, infectious agents and stress, seen and unseen. This kind of demand requires a lot of support to maintain your immunes system resilience. Our go-go lifestyle just doesnt make room unless we pay attention to everything: what we breathe, eat, drink and absorb and feel. It all has a pro- or anti-inflammatory effect, and for most of us, the factors are skewed toward inflammation."
We need to protect our bodies against these poisons on a daily basis, and thats not just the cells inside the body, it also includes your skin. Your skin is a miraculous covering that protects you from harm. Pollution, toxins, radiation and other potentially damaging influences are kept out of your body by your skin; vital organs are protected inside. One of the first signs of aging is thin, sagging, withered skin that is easily damaged. Nopaleas betalains are working outside your body to help protect your skin.
Nopalea rushes to these damaged areas to shore up your protective layer. The betalains in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea fill in the gaps of your cells (including the cells in your skin) and return them to the firm, robust nature of young cells at any age. By providing a healthy environment for the cell, betalains keep it from withering.

Nopal Cactus Juice The Nopal Opuntia ficus-indica species. Known as green Nopal and the traditionally consumed ancient variety, Nopal cactus has recently been recommended in a vast array of metabolic, cardiovascular and digestive disorders. This original and authentic variety of the Nopal prickly pear; requires the climate and soil type that is unique to its birthplace - the high volcanic mountains of Mexico - to provide Nopals most important bioactive healing properties.The Nopal cactus is effective in two particular areas of health that of high blood sugar and obesity which effect many people/
Hyperglycemia - High blood sugar
Nopal has been clinically proven in studies to reduce both fasting and post-prandial (after a meal) hyperglycemia. Nopal cactus has been shown to contain a unique profile of high soluble and high insoluble fibers. These high levels of Nopal dietary fibers help prevent the rapid absorption of simple carbohydrates such as sugars into the blood stream during the digestion stage of a consumed meal. This digestive action, the result of ingesting Nopal or Nopal powder prior to, or during a meal, results in lowering the Glycemic Index of any meal and allows for a more stable blood sugar metabolism throughout the day.
Nopal cactus also contains specific phyto-nutrients that have been shown to enter the blood stream and augment the bodys cellular response to insulin in Diabetes II patients. This activity from the Nopal Opuntia Ficus-Indica, was demonstrated recently in a clinical study. A controlled group of hyperglycemic diabetes Type II patients were given only Nopal for breakfast and within 1 hour, their higher blood sugar index was reduced to normal values. Individuals with healthy blood sugar values that were not given the Nopal prickly pear dose did not experience this reduction in blood sugar levels.
Obesity
As mentioned above, the ability of Nopal to normalize and lower blood sugar and lipids allows us to suggest that the Nopal cactus can eliminate the majority of the causative factors of Metabolic syndrome. Obesity is a resultant effect of this metabolic impairment and exacerbates the condition. Nopals fiber content, is sufficient to effectively promote satiety, when eaten before a meal and thus reduces hunger and caloric consumption. However, unlike many weight loss products, Nopal contains an excellent profile of nutrients, that may otherwise be missing from a popular weight loss regimen. Healthy weight loss rates of approximately 1 kg / week have been reported.

Nopal Cactus Juice Many people have difficulty sleeping, in particular my wife Jasmin, who until about a year ago could not sleep without resorting to sleeping pills. I introduced her to Sonoran Bloom Nopalea and almost immediately she rediscovered what it is like to sleep soundly at night and she also has more energy during the day as she is no longer consuming drugs which are not intended for long term use. I have spoken to other people who have had similar results so decided to search Go Google for the answer as to why Nopalea improves sleep 209,000 results many supporting our experience, but no clear scientific answer. Maybe its the Betalains which reduce many kinds of inflammation and allow one to sleep better. If you know of a better reason please comment on this blog.

Cactus Juice and Heart Disease
Inflammation is one of the hidden killers that can cause heart disease such as high blood pressure, the problem is that most people do not even realise they have an inflammation problem that could result in Strokes or heart attacks.
Doctors are becoming more aware of this hidden inflammation and there is a now a CRP blood test which can provide early warning. CRP stands for C-reactive protein, this protein is produced by your liver as a reaction to inflammation of your body cells and the levels of CRP peak after 48 hours. CRP levels can be raised by Arthritis, Diabetes, obesity and many other conditions which manifest themselves by inflammation.
In order to catch inflammation at an early stage there is a High-sensitivity test (hs-CRP) which can measure low levels of inflammation. the norm for hs-CRP is 1.0 or less, however severe infections can cause this to reach a level more than 200. Viral infections for example come out around the 10-40 level.
It has been proven that is your background level remains around 2.4 you run twice the risk or suffering a heart attack compared with someone who has 1.0 or less.
A daily dose of cactus juice from the Nopal cactus is packed with Betalains which are great inflammation fighters and will help to keep you levels of CRP at a low level.

Cactus Juice Betalains May Limit Production of LDL Cholesterol in Humans
The juice from the Nopal cactus which grows in the Sonoran Desert is rich in Betalains one of which Betanin not only produces a red skin fruit but also inhibits the myeloperoxidase/nitrite-induced oxidation of human low-density lipoproteins according to a study by Allegra M, Tesoriere L, Livrea MA. of Department of Pharmaceutical, Toxicological and Biological Chemistry, Università di Palermo, Italy.
Production of nitrogen dioxide by the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the presence of nitrite is now considered a key step in the pathophysiology of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. This study shows that Betanin, a phytochemical of the betalain class, inhibits the production of lipid hydroperoxides in human LDL submitted to a MPO/nitrite-induced oxidation. Kinetic measurements including time-course of particle oxidation and Betanin consumption, either in the presence or in the absence of nitrite, suggest that the antioxidant effect is possibly the result of various actions. Betanin scavenges the initiator radical nitrogen dioxide and can also act as a lipoperoxyl radical-scavenger. In addition, unidentified oxidation product(s) of Betanin by MPO/nitrite inhibit(s) the MPO/nitrite-induced LDL oxidation as effectively as the parent compound. In the light of Betanin bio availability and post-absorption distribution in humans, present findings may suggest favourable in vivo activity of this phytochemical

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea Betalains are important in the fight against inflammation. These powerful cactus fruit nutrients help support the bodys ability to fight inflammation at the cellular level.
In addition, these nutrients will strengthen your cells so they are resistant to toxins and bad bacteria. They are like body armor around your cells.
Each betalain contains a powerful protein matrix with anti oxidant and anti inflammatory characteristics. Research shows they can also help protect your body from free radical damage. They are water soluble and are found in only a few of the worlds plants.
All known autoimmune diseases such as lupus, crones disease and fibromyalgia are caused by or associated with chronic inflammation in the body.
The pigment in foods like beets are betalains that give the beet its rich red colour. The pigment in the Nopal cactus fruit originates from the same source and gives it a vibrant magenta colour.
Benefits of Betalains
Researchers have discovered 24 different kinds of betalains. Most plants contain only six to twelve different kinds of this powerful anti oxidant A Higher concentration of these substances can be found in plants that live in hot climates. The harsher the climate the more the plant produces to protect itself from the heat. One of the best of these is the Nopal cactus which grows in the Sonoran Desert and this species contains all 24 betalains and is the source of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea Over 1.7 million bottles of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea the natural anti-inflammatory drink by TriVita have been sold, announced the company. Reports of improvements in inflammation-related conditions such as joint pain, body pain, skin conditions, breathing difficulties and more have come in from across North America.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) January 18, 2011
Over 1.7 million bottles of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea the natural anti-inflammatory drink by TriVita have been sold, announced the company. Reports of improvements in inflammation-related conditions such as joint pain, body pain, skin conditions, breathing difficulties and more have come in from across North America.
Inflammation, which has been linked to a wide variety of health conditions, can stem from exposure to toxins, environmental pollutants and chemicals, as well as trauma, deficiency and stress. Inflammation is the bodys natural immune response to the damage caused by these exposures; inflammation helps overcome the damage and repairs tissue. However, chronic inflammation occurs when inflammation doesnt work properly and begins to harm healthy tissue. Then the inflammation continues unabated, which can lead to numerous health problems. TriVita developed Nopalea to help the body lower this inflammation and help the body detoxify. Users of Nopalea have reported results that range from reduced pain and blood sugar levels to improvements in skin conditions and breathing.
Sonoran Bloom Nopalea is sourced in part from the fruit of the Nopal cactus, which contains Betalains: rare, natural antioxidants that are found in only a few of the worlds plants including the fruit of the Nopal cactus, Swiss chard, beets, and some weeds and fungi. The Nopal fruit contains one of the highest amounts of Betalains in all of nature. Eating foods rich in Betalains as part of an anti-inflammatory diet has shown to reduce overall swelling.
Betalains, alongside other ingredients in Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, increase the activity of CYP-2E1, a special enzyme that neutralizes daily toxins. This can help protect cells against the hormone disrupters, respiratory toxins, developmental toxins and neurotoxins that are responsible for one-quarter of the worlds diseases. When fewer toxins surround cells, more nutrients can reach them. More nutrients mean that the cells are better equipped to repair and replace damaged tissues, and reduce the reactive inflammation that toxins promote. Additionally, scientific research shows that Betalains can help the body reduce the risk of blood clots by protecting the thin lining of blood vessels, which helps reduce the inflammation that makes blood sticky and can lead to clots.
TriVita launched Sonoran Bloom Nopalea in June 2009, and it has since become their best-selling product. The company expects to sell their two millionth bottle of Nopalea in the first quarter of 2011. TriVita is a Scottsdale-based wellness company that encourages people everywhere to experience wellness®: physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea cactus juice David Ogden
Sonoran Bloom Nopalea The Nopal cactus, more commonly known as the prickly pear cactus is valued by many simply for its beautiful bloom. Did you know that herbalists and natives to the Sonoran Desert have used this incredible plant for decades to treat a variety of conditions? There is an increasing amount of documented evidence by our modern scientists that support the health claims that have been made about this super food for generations.
Nopalea, scientifically known as (Opuntia Streptacantha) is primarily pollinated by hummingbirds. It is the hummingbird migration throughout the desert Southwest that coincides with this beautiful Sonoran Bloom.
What are some of the over 100 conditions that the Nopal cactus juice has been used for?
Clinical studies have shown the Nopalea cactus juice has a tremendous ability to reduce inflammation throughout the body. This includes cardiovascular inflammation and other such debilitating conditions as inflammatory arthritis. Consistent use of certain Nopal products have helped to reduce or eliminate inflammation in knees and other joints.
Diabetes
Nopal cactus juice is beneficial in the control of diabetes. In double-blind studies, insulin levels were favourably affected with the use of Nopal, and the herb is thought to reach maximum effectiveness about three to four hours after consuming food. A recent clinical study showed that when Type II diabetic patients were given Nopal for breakfast, their blood sugar values normalized within one hour.
Obesity
Certain components of the Nopalea cactus juice attach to substances in the stomach and intestines inhibiting the absorption of fats from food. Consequently, excess levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood will be lowered. Animal research has indicated that a component of the cactus positively alters hepatic (liver) cholesterol metabolism.
High blood sugar
Nopal has been clinically proven to reduce high blood sugar. The cactus contains a unique profile of high soluble and high insoluble fibers. These high levels of Nopal dietary fibers help prevent the rapid absorption of simple carbohydrates into the blood stream during the digestion of a meal. By ingesting Nopal prior to, or during a meal, one will lower the glycemic Index of that meal and allow for a more stable blood sugar metabolism throughout the day.
High LDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides
The unique polysaccharide fibers and sterols found in Nopalea reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Other active phyto-nutrients in Nopal, such as carotenoids and glycoproteins, have also been shown in animal studies to increase activity in certain liver receptors that promote healthier blood lipids.
This incredible cactus from the deserts of the Southwest United States and Mexico is quickly becoming a super-star medicinal plant. Consumed by natives of this region for thousands of years, only now is it being discovered by the rest of the world.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea
Fighting pain by reducing inflammation
Inflammation causes pain. Trauma causes inflammation, So if we can reduce trauma we should be able to reduce pain, right. Right, and we use analgesics and Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS) to reduce the inflammation but its hard to reduce trauma as it can be caused by a myriad of things in our environment.
Topical analgesics only work on the applied area and NSAIDS work pretty well except on some pain that you have to take more than is recommended or it has to be mixed with narcotics in order to be effective. That then has all kinds of side effects that can reek havoc on our system.
Since we dont always have a lot of control over our environment then we will have to rely on being able to control inflammation. Giving that inflammation is a natural immune response we cant suppress the immune system to much or we stand to defeat its very purpose. Therefore what to do?
Thankfully, science has found 24 proteins, called Betalains that help fight chronic inflammation, cellular degeneration and system detoxification.
The problems however is where to get these Betalains and how to introduce them to our system since some vegetables [beets and rainbow chard] have a few and some desert plants have a few more but nothing has been found to contain all, except one plant, a cactus. The Nopal cactus to be exact from the Sonora desert in the southwest.
Thanks to a company in Arizona called TriVita. They have worked with some top name labs to come up with a tasty drink called Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, a cactus juice that contains all 24 of the Betalains that taken orally, reduces inflammation and the resultant pain, for all who try it. I for one am using Sonoran Bloom Nopalea to control Arthritis and I know of others who use it to help control fibromyalgia pain and love it. This is the first time in years I have been almost pain free and I dont have to take pills of any kind to get there. Im also aware of having more energy and less allergic reaction to my environment all from one very tasty Sonoran Bloom cactus drink drink. The company has other products for better health and weight loss and if they work as good as Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, everyone will benefit.
One downside to a lot of inflammation is Cancer. And for that reason it would benefit everyone to add Sonoran Bloom Nopalea cactus juice to there diet whether they suffer with a lot of pain or not because, like it or not, your environment is going to keep pounding away at your immune system and if the lymphatic system [ which is charged with eliminating toxins and trash from the body] gets overwhelmed you increase your chances of contracting cancer from the rotting cells left in your body.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea
Sonoran Bloom cactus juice comprises anti viral nutrients and fights inflammation. It is taken by individuals for dealing with skin diseases, gastro ailments, moderating blood sugar and numerous other illness.
Below are some of the questions I have received over the course of the past year and my responses.
How much Nopalea cactus juice should I take? When taking Nopalea cactus juice for the first time, drink 3 to 6 ounces, twice daily for the first 30 days. Then, use your intuition to judge how much Nopalea cactus juice you should continue to take. Do you feel like you need more? Then take more! Do you feel that the cycle of runaway inflammation has resolved? Reduce it to the amount you crave (usually 1 to 3 ounces daily). Let your body decide!
Is it safe to take Nopalea cactus juice with my medications? Some of the older blood thinners are more easily adjusted if a person is not eating vegetables or fruit or drinking juices during the calibration phase. Your doctor or pharmacist will give you specific instructions if this pertains to you.
Always ask your health care team if you are in doubt or have questions. However, TriVitas Medical Advisory Board has examined Nopalea cactus juice closely. In general, there are no known conflicts between Nopalea cactus juice and medications.
Should I continue to take my other supplements while taking Nopalea cactus juice? Does Nopalea cactus juice contain any sugar, artificial sweeteners, colours or flavours? Some of the vegetables we added to Nopalea cactus juice have a slightly bitter taste to them. The sweet leaf Stevia cuts the bitterness completely! So, I use a microscopic amount of Stevia to neutralize the bitter notes.
There are natural colours in Nopalea cactus juice. They are made from the skin of cherries because cherries have an intense red similar to Nopal fruit. There are also natural flavours in Nopalea cactus juice. These are made by distilling the aromatic oils and phenolics (compounds that give plants their aroma and colour) from the fruit. Seasonal harvests of Nopal fruit vary from year to year, but natural flavours and colours keep our product more consistent than many other natural products. With Nopalea cactus juice, you always know what you are getting!

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea Sonoran Bloom Nopalea is produced from the nopal cactus growing in the Sonoran desert and here is really good information about some of the benefits that people get when taking the nopal cactus.
Hyperglycemia High blood sugar Nopal cactus also contains specific phyto-nutrients that have been shown to enter the blood stream and augment the bodys cellular response to insulin in Diabetes II patients. This activity, from the Nopal Opuntia Ficus-Indica, was demonstrated recently in a clinical study. A controlled group of hyperglycemic diabetes Type II patients were given only Nopal for breakfast and within 1 hour, their higher blood sugar index was reduced to normal values. Individuals with healthy blood sugar values that were not given the Nopal prickly pear dose did not experience this reduction in blood sugar levels.
Hyperlipidemia High LDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides Atherosclerosis cardiovascular inflammation causing blood vessel plaque Colon Cleansing It is important to note that the Nopal cactus Opuntia Ficus-Indica variety has been shown to be a gentle and superior alternative to common psyllium for those with a sensitivity or allergy to the psyllium husk products found in many supermarket shelves. It has also been shown that the regular intake of Nopal will help maintain a clean and healthy colon.
Gastric Ulcers / Gastrointestinal Disorders The regular ingestion of Nopal can help reduce and even eliminate the need for over the counter medications that many people use, to an excess at times, in controlling and temporarily soothing the symptoms without actually attacking the condition as Nopal has shown to do.
Nopals high levels of naturally occurring calcium can and will help reduce the risk of colon cancer. Finally the presence of prebiotic fibers in our high mountain, volcanic soil variety of Nopal OroVerde® Nopal has been determined and these prebiotics are responsible for improved gut flora, mineral absorption and cancer risk reduction.
Liver function, immunity and oxidative stress Fortunately we have an abundance of antioxidants and immune support phytochemicals available in plants. Nopal cactus offers a great variety and high levels of antioxidants such as Vitamins, A, C and Bs, all of them actually as well as polyphenols flavonoids as we discussed earlier and glycoproteins & polysaccharides.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea People are experiencing incredible results with the reduction of debilitating symptoms caused by chronic inflammation. This is definitely a product for our era.
I want to introduce another person who has had a life-changing experience with Nopalea. Valerie B. has suffered for 25 years from the symptoms of fibromyalgia (an inflammatory condition). Here is her story:
I have been taking Nopalea for approximately two months now at two ounces per day. I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for about 25 years, which has affected pretty much every muscle in my body, as well as chronic fatigue. Ive also had low back pain due to an accident, and I have been very limited to any kind of physical work. After taking Nopalea for about a week, I decided to go out and try to do some work in the garden. I usually dont do very much, but this particular day, I felt pretty good. Well, before I knew it, I had been out there for four hours. I moved earth and replaced plants. It just felt too good to stop! I ran out of Nopalea once, and boy could I tell a difference. I knew then that the Nopalea was working for me, and I keep it on hand at all times. I really like the Nopalea and have shared its success with my landscaper who takes an anti-inflammatory medication every day when he gets home from work. As well, Ive shared it with my sister who has rheumatoid arthritis. I hope to get them both on Nopalea soon! Also, I have vertigo. I have just realized that I have not had a dizzy spell since I have started the Nopalea. My husband has noticed it also. He says he cant call me a dizzy blonde any more!

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea The Nopal cactus, more commonly known as the prickly pear cactus is valued by many simply for its beautiful bloom. Did you know that herbalists and natives to the Sonoran Desert have used this incredible plant for decades to treat a variety of conditions? There is an increasing amount of documented evidence by our modern scientists that support the health claims that have been made about this super food for generations.
Nopalea, scientifically known as (Opuntia Streptacantha) is primarily pollinated by hummingbirds. It is the hummingbird migration throughout the desert Southwest that coincides with this beautiful Sonoran Bloom.
What are some of the over 100 conditions that the Nopal cactus has been used for?
Clinical studies have shown the Nopalea has a tremendous ability to reduce inflammation throughout the body. This includes cardiovascular inflammation and other such debilitating conditions as inflammatory arthritis. Consistent use of certain Nopal products have helped to reduce or eliminate inflammation in knees and other joints.
Diabetes
Nopal is beneficial in the control of diabetes. In double-blind studies, insulin levels were favourably affected with the use of Nopal, and the herb is thought to reach maximum effectiveness about three to four hours after consuming food. A recent clinical study showed that when Type II diabetic patients were given Nopal for breakfast, their blood sugar values normalized within one hour.
Obesity
Certain components of the Nopalea attach to substances in the stomach and intestines inhibiting the absorption of fats from food. Consequently, excess levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood will be lowered. Animal research has indicated that a component of the cactus positively alters hepatic (liver) cholesterol metabolism.
High blood sugar
Nopal has been clinically proven to reduce high blood sugar. The cactus contains a unique profile of high soluble and high insoluble fibers. These high levels of Nopal dietary fibers help prevent the rapid absorption of simple carbohydrates into the blood stream during the digestion of a meal. By ingesting Nopal prior to, or during a meal, one will lower the glycemic Index of that meal and allow for a more stable blood sugar metabolism throughout the day.
High LDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides
The unique polysaccharide fibers and sterols found in Nopalea reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Other active phyto-nutrients in Nopal, such as carotenoids and glycoproteins, have also been shown in animal studies to increase activity in certain liver receptors that promote healthier blood lipids.
This incredible cactus from the deserts of the Southwest United States and Mexico is quickly becoming a super-star medicinal plant. Consumed by natives of this region for thousands of years, only now is it being discovered by the rest of the world.

Fighting pain by reducing inflammation
Inflammation causes pain. Trauma causes inflammation, So if we can reduce trauma we should be able to reduce pain, right. Right, and we use analgesics and Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS) to reduce the inflammation but its hard to reduce trauma as it can be caused by a myriad of things in our environment.
Topical analgesics only work on the applied area and NSAIDS work pretty well except on some pain that you have to take more than is recommended or it has to be mixed with narcotics in order to be effective. That then has all kinds of side effects that can reek havoc on our system.
Since we dont always have a lot of control over our environment then we will have to rely on being able to control inflammation. Giving that inflammation is a natural immune response we cant suppress the immune system to much or we stand to defeat its very purpose. Therefore what to do?
Thankfully, science has found 24 proteins, called Betalains that help fight chronic inflammation, cellular degeneration and system detoxification.
The problems however is where to get these Betalains and how to introduce them to our system since some vegetables [beets and rainbow chard] have a few and some desert plants have a few more but nothing has been found to contain all, except one plant, a cactus. The Nopal cactus to be exact from the Sonora desert in the southwest.
Thanks to a company in Arizona called TriVita. They have worked with some top name labs to come up with a tasty drink called Sonoran Bloom Nopalea that contains all 24 of the Betalains that taken orally, reduces inflammation and the resultant pain, for all who try it. I for one am using Sonoran Bloom Nopalea to control Arthritis and I know of others who use it to help control fibromyalgia pain and love it. This is the first time in years I have been almost pain free and I dont have to take pills of any kind to get there. Im also aware of having more energy and less allergic reaction to my environment all from one very tasty Sonoran Bloom Nopalea drink. The company has other products for better health and weight loss and if they work as good as Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, everyone will benefit.
One downside to a lot of inflammation is Cancer. And for that reason it would benefit everyone to add Sonoran Bloom Nopalea to there diet whether they suffer with a lot of pain or not because, like it or not, your environment is going to keep pounding away at your immune system and if the lymphatic system [ which is charged with eliminating toxins and trash from the body] gets overwhelmed you increase your chances of contracting cancer from the rotting cells left in your body.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea
Sonoran Bloom comprises anti viral nutrients and fights inflammation. It is taken by individuals for dealing with skin diseases, gastro ailments, moderating blood sugar and numerous other illness.
Below are some of the questions I have received over the course of the past year and my responses.
How much Nopalea should I take? When taking Nopalea for the first time, drink 3 to 6 ounces, twice daily for the first 30 days. Then, use your intuition to judge how much Nopalea you should continue to take. Do you feel like you need more? Then take more! Do you feel that the cycle of runaway inflammation has resolved? Reduce it to the amount you crave (usually 1 to 3 ounces daily). Let your body decide!
Is it safe to take Nopalea with my medications? Some of the older blood thinners are more easily adjusted if a person is not eating vegetables or fruit or drinking juices during the calibration phase. Your doctor or pharmacist will give you specific instructions if this pertains to you.
Always ask your health care team if you are in doubt or have questions. However, TriVitas Medical Advisory Board has examined Nopalea closely. In general, there are no known conflicts between Nopalea and medications.
Should I continue to take my other supplements while taking Nopalea? Does Nopalea contain any sugar, artificial sweeteners, colours or flavours? Some of the vegetables we added to Nopalea have a slightly bitter taste to them. The sweet leaf Stevia cuts the bitterness completely! So, I use a microscopic amount of Stevia to neutralize the bitter notes.
There are natural colours in Nopalea. They are made from the skin of cherries because cherries have an intense red similar to Nopal fruit. There are also natural flavours in Nopalea. These are made by distilling the aromatic oils and phenolics (compounds that give plants their aroma and colour) from the fruit. Seasonal harvests of Nopal fruit vary from year to year, but natural flavours and colours keep our product more consistent than many other natural products. With Nopalea, you always know what you are getting!

Sonoran Bloom
Sonoran Bloom Nopalea celebrates the ancient wisdom of our Sonoran ancestors and the wellness properties of the deserts native plants.
Wellness is a journey a quest for lifelong strength. everyday our bodies are exposed to dangerous toxins-in the air, our water, food pollution etc. Plus when you think of the other things we suffer on a daily basis, stress, hangovers, obesity, smoking and more
our bodies need every chance possible to take on board valuable antioxidants and botanicals to help our cells recover and mend.
In addition to all of this our bodies are subjected to large amounts of poisoned fluids that surround our cells and cause them to wither and suffer inflammation disease. As this fluid become increasingly toxic, the cell eventually collapses under the weight of this toxicity. The Nopalea juice from a little- known cactus called Nopal can combat these toxins by releasing the power of Betalains a class of rare and potent antioxidants that flourish in the super-fruit of the Nopal cactus. After drinking this juice, the body can absorb the antioxidants and infuse them into the fluid surrounding the cells so that the Betalains can help the body purge itself of unwanted toxins and excess water to help reduce inflammation. This balances the environment around the cell and allows essential nutrients to enter into the cell itself enabling the cell to re-inflate and re-hydrate. Your body can enjoy optimum cellular health and you can pursue lifelong cellular wellness
The Nopal cactus has been called a superfruit because its powerful antioxidant Betalains have been known to boost the health and well-being of all who drink in its powers.

Sonoran Bloom
The Nopal cactus, also known as Opuntia ficus-indica or prickly pear,is a cactus form readily found in the Sonoran Desert of Mexico and southwestern US. A staple in the diets of many natives of the area, the Nopal cactus has been shown to get some amazing wellness benefits which are gaining momentum in the nutritional community, especially when it comes to the wellness benefits of taking Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.A generator of unique antioxidants Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, made from the fruit of the prickly pear, is a good source of a rare breed of antioxidants called Betalains. Betalains are naturally occurring in merely a handful of fruits and vegetables, such as beets, rainbow Swiss chard, and the Nopal cactus fruit and are responsible for their pinkish-red pigmentation.
In humans, these rare antioxidants create a very specific intent within the cells- they capture and diffuse free radicals (unstable molecules) before they get a chance to destroy or damage anything. Liberal radical damage to the cells is what causes the aging process, which is why Sonoran Bloom Nopalea is enunciated to have anti-aging properties.Inflammation fight capabilities Chronic excitation is the issue of the bodys inability to contain its own immune response. What starts away equally a normal cry for assistant to your white blood cells because you bumped your knee or twisted your ankle, causes a cascade issue which results in your body not being able to flick the go switch on the shout for help.
A number of studies on the Nopal fruit experience shows that ingestion of it could inhibit leukocyte (white blood cell) migration, which is the catalyst in the maturation of inflammatory disease. In addition, the studies depicted suppression of edema, or fluid retention.Lowering Bad Cholesterol The Nopal fruit is a rich source of pectin, a soluble fiber, which is felt to reduce LDL cholesterol levels. It does thence by decreasing the absorption of saccharide in the bear and intestines. In fact, a analyse done by Dr. Mare L Fernandez as published in the Journal of Nutrition pictured that consumption of prickly pear cactus lead to a 28 pct driblet in total cholesterol stratums in the animals tested which is fairly substantial.Decrease of Blood Saccharide Values.
There have been several studies on the upshot of Nopal cactus extract on blood glucose values. One, done in 1995 and published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, showed an 18 percentage decrease among participants while another, done by a group in California depicted that adding Nopal to a high saccharide Mexican diet among patients with Type 2 diabetes actually reduced the concentration of glucose in the body instantly after the meal.The reason for this, again, stems back to the quantity of pectin within the fruit. By cutting the absorption of sugar in the suffer and intestines, the overall blood glucose values of the body are reduced.
Overall, the studies on the Nopal cactus fruit, and the Nopalea juice that comes from it, break that its a great asset to anyones diet. It prevents pre-mature aging, promotes optimal cellular health, reduces excitement and detoxifies the body. One point of caution, however, for those on medications for any form of wellness condition that they hope Sonoran Bloom Nopalea may help with- as with any nutritional change you construct to your diet, you should consult your doc before giving Sonoran Bloom Nopalea Wood a try.

Resveratrol- Red Wine
Because wine is an alcoholic beverage, it has always had a bad reputation and supposedly did not have any health benefits. Things were usually made worse in numerous social implications; but in countries like France, Italy, Spain and the other countries on the Mediterranean wine has been part of their culture for centuries. Wine has become an important part of their cultures and considered almost necessary to have it at every meal.
Then scientists started to closely examine wine to learn how it affected health. The research began on a very small scale and grew from that point. Then the French Paradox was announced. From that point on, the research grew at an amazing rate until almost every country on earth was involved in some form of wine investigation. A team of researchers from Harvard University published a report detailing the eight best things to do to fight or prevent heart disease. But this shocked some people to find wine consumption or alcohol was on the list of how to prevent heart disease. The shocking information the researchers were telling the world was that moderate intake of alcohol does improve cardiovascular health. It must be realized the key to successfully improving cardiac health is the MODERATE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL. You will not help yourself if you have to drink a bottle of wine or a case of beer a day. That type of behaviour will not help you improve your heart health.
The Harvard Researchers did not specify exactly what alcoholic beverages they meant. Other scientific studies that followed defined the most effective alcoholic beverage as red wine. They also pointed out that red wine gives the consumer the greatest benefit. Additional studies made its clear that red wine is the most beneficial and healthy form of alcohol. Cardioprotective properties are considered due mostly to the antioxidants found in the grape skin and seeds of the various red grapes used to produce the red wine. Pinot Noir is considered the best red wine as it usually has the most resveratrol and that is what gives the wine its healthy attribute.
Antioxidants are the major contributors to improving heart health. First, they reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in the body. Second, they build up the high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol, and lastly, they reduce blood-clotting. Reducing blood clotting has a very positive effect because it lessens the chances of a stroke. Another benefit of a glass of wine with a meal is that it can increase a persons lipids and that is a very good thing.
Red wines benefits go beyond contributing to cardiovascular health. When the research became serious, it was discovered that there were a number of flavonoids in the grape skin and seeds. It took several years from the time resveratrol was first discovered before the research grew to todays intensity. Animal studies with mice found resveratrol improved cardiac function and gene activity related to aging, and it also revealed that low doses of resveratrol can retard certain aspects of the aging process. The research went on to show its effect was stronger on the heart than in the brain and muscles. But it did stop some age-related changes in other tissues in the human body.
Caloric restriction has also brought about an important discovery as resveratrol stimulates the sirtuin gene in much of the same manner as it would if the body was experiencing caloric restriction. But, the tissues do not suffer any loss of nutrition. This retards aging and acts to extend life in a number of life forms. Scientific data from other studies has shown that animals on a diet where the caloric-intake is greatly reduced have also lived longer lives than animals with normal diets.
Here is a short list of how resveratrol works to overcome the deadly diseases:
And it increases
DISCLAIMER: I am not a Doctor and do not give medical advice; this is a news report and cannot substitute for the advice of a medical professional.
My mission is to educate as many people as I can about Resveratrol. I believe resveratrol supplements are showing amazing promise in the research being conducted in such areas as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity and also the brain.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol and Heart Benefits
Wouldnt it be great if we could eat anything we wanted to and not absorb the saturated fat and cholesterol? Well, let me give you a bit of good news. Resveratrol inhibits the secretion of bile in your intestines . Let me explain why that is such good news. Bile is needed for the absorption of fat and cholesterol. If bile is not being secreted, you are not going to absorb very much of the fat and cholesterol you eat. Isnt that just wonderful! This one action of resveratrol could decrease the cholesterol levels of many people.
Lets say you produce a lot of cholesterol even without eating saturated fat and cholesterol. One theory of how atherosclerotic plaque begins is that LDLs (your bad cholesterol) are oxidized, become toxic, and cause injury to the cells in the wall of the artery. An immune response occurs as a result of the injury and causes a build-up or plaque in the area. Resveratrol has been shown to inhibit LDL oxidation and resulting toxicity in cells
What if you already have plaque build-up in your arteries? A heart attack is often caused by a blood clot traveling in an artery and getting stuck in an area where the atherosclerotic plaque has narrowed it. The interruption of blood flow in the artery is what causes the heart attack. The blood-thinning effects of aspirin is why doctors may advise their patients to take one each day. This is also one of the reasons why fish oil is good for your heart. The omega-3 fatty acids in the fish oil help to thin the blood. Resveratrol from grapes is a winner in this area, too, because it significantly decreases blood clotting activities . In addition to inhibiting blood clotting, resveratrol dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow. This effect was demonstrated when male patients who already had coronary heart disease were given a red grape extract mixed in water . So, resveratrol has several effects that help to prevent a heart attack.
Rat studies have shown that even when a heart attack is occurring, resveratrol reduces the size of the heart attack and extent of injury and significantly preserves heart function . Let me reiterate this, WHILE a heart attack is occurring, resveratrol is still at work. These studies seem to indicate that if you are at risk for a heart attack, resveratrol could save your life.
How Can Resveratrol Affect Cancer Risk?
Resveratrol from grapes has protected against all three stages of cancer development (initiation, promotion, & progression) in skin cancer in mice . Initiation is when a carcinogen invades your cells, promotion is when something causes the cancer to become active, and progression is when the cancer is growing. The initiation stage may occur years before promotion and progression. Even if you are not in the habit of eating grapes or drinking grape juice or wine at the time a carcinogen invades your body, resveratrol may still be able to inhibit cancer growth if you start eating grapes or drinking grape juice later.
Resveratrol has demonstrated antitumor activities in breast , multiple myeloma, lymphoma , leukemia , prostate , ovarian , uterine , colon , colorectal , and pancreatic cancer cells in a variety of ways. In leukemia cells, resveratrol worked synergistically with chemotherapy and was even able to kill drug-resistant colon cancer cells .
Other Resveratrol benefits
We have already learned about the beneficial effects of resveratrol during a heart attack, but it has many of the same types of benefits for stroke. A study of rats pretreated with resveratrol has shown that this phyto decreases the magnitude of a stroke and prevents motor impairment associated with stroke . If you are at risk for stroke but drink grape juice or eat grapes, your risk of a severe stroke with motor impairment may be reduced.
Resveratrol has suppressive effects of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory responses associated with several neurodegenerative diseases such as microaglia , Parkinsons disease , Huntingtons disease , and even Alzheimers disease and dementia . This phyto reduces the motor and cognitive impairment of Huntingtons disease in rodents . More so, it improves performance records in behavior tests and cognitive ability in mice with Alzheimers . These studies suggest that resveratrol has therapeutic potential in at least some neurodegenerative diseases.
Resveratrol appears to be of benefit for some inflammatory gastrointestinal problems. Viral-induced gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach) is alleviated when mice are supplemented with grape juice . It is also able to reduce the damage caused from chronic colitis and helps to rebuild normal colon cells in rats .
How about reducing complications of diabetes? Diabetes causes oxidative damage to the nervous system which often results diabetic neuropathy (effects nerves and feeling all over the body), but resveratrol significantly reduces this oxidation in rats . It may be a potent neuroprotective agent. Likewise, resveratrol decreases the oxidative stress associated with diabetic nephropathy (abnormal kidney function) . Even in non-diabetic acute kidney failure, it helps to restore kidney function in rats .
These studies are simply a sampling of all the good things in your body that resveratrol may do. It may also be beneficial to help prevent damaging effects of high blood pressure and protect against cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

Starting with the dawn of time, science has been fighting hard for a supplement to delay the process of aging. Resveratrol antioxidant benefits were first discovered from medical studies which concluded that people from Okinawa and Sardinia have both the largest number of people living to age 100 and some of the lowest numbers in cancer related deaths. In fact Okinawans hardly have a case of cancer to report on. Thus there has been an intense research on the potentiality of pure resveratrol as an anti aging agent. The product, if consumed regularly for some days, can give you an ultimate makeover, both in term of looks as well as feel.
Do you want to know which is the best pure resveratrol? Aside from just how many live into their hundreds, obviously having the ability to avoid cancer is one way of reaching such ripe old ages, yet scientists are still unsure of why this is. Resveratrol is believed to trigger the action of Sirtuin hormone in the body.Okinawans also use pure resveratrol for other medicinal treatments including the treatment of allergic and inflammatory disorders as well as offering lipid atherosclerosis medication and liver ailments to assist in the recovery of Hepatitis B.
In short this supplement improves your overall health, well being and resistance to weakening diseases.

Reports however that you can now buy "pure resveratrol over the counter or online to naturally cleanse and scrub your arteries without any exercise is a plus!. Nowadays, people look to anti-aging supplements to help fight back the rigors of growing older, but how do you know what does and doesnt work? So what are the real benefits?
The consensus is, people should be including some form of this compound into their daily lives. The effectiveness of most of these drugs and techniques is limited, but measurable.

Zamboanga del Norte is a 720,594-hectare province, composed of 25 municipalities and 2 component cities -- Dipolog City, the trading and commercial enter, and Dapitan City, the tourists haven. It is situated in the western border of Mindanao and lies in the northwestern edge of the Zamboanga Peninsula. With more or less 400 kilometres of irregular coastline facing Sulu Sea, it is bounded by the province of Misamis Occidental in the north, the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay in the east, and Zamboanga City in the south. It is strategically situated relative to the rest of the Philippine Archipelago.
The province is predominantly hilly and mountainous. Hills and mountains cover an area of 609,399 hectares or 84.7 percent of the total land area.
Zamboanga del Norte belongs to the fourth type of climate and enjoys generally good weather with even rainfall year round with no pronounced wet or dry season. It is not within the countrys typhoon belt, and winds seldom exceed 40 kilometres per hour.
With an actual population count at 3,230,094 as of 2007, Zamboanga peninsular has an average of 2.2 persons per Hectare. The population is predominantly Christian and Cebuano speaking.
Endowed with vast and rich natural resources, Zamboanga del Norte is home to almost all of the major minerals of the country --gold, manganese, white clay, copper, silica, guano, asbestos, among others, all of which are in huge commercial volumes. Likewise, the province is a major producer of agricultural crops such as coconut, mango, banana, corn and rice, not to mention its affinity to growing ornamental plants like the orchids. Meanwhile, its marine resources are an envy to a number of provinces as it has at least seven (7) fishing grounds, namely: Murciellagos Bay, Dapitan Bay, Dipolog Bay, East Sulu Sea, Sindangan Bay, Coronado Bay, Sibuco Bay and Siocon Bay. From these fishing grounds are harvested sardines species, yellow fin tuna, anchovies, mackerels, snappers, round scads, and marlins which are popular both domestically and internationally.
The existing water supply is continuously being operated to service the growing population. The province has 15 Level lll water supply systems, of which 8 are gravity-fed and 7 are pressure-pumped.
The influx of domestic and foreign tourists is facilitated by a regular schedule of land, air and sea transport. Equipped with relatively modern facilities, Dipolog City Airport can accommodate Boeing 737, Fokker 50s, and other light crafts. Dipolog is just less than an hours flight from Cebu City and less than a couple of hours from Manila. With the advent of the Strong Republic Nautical Highway project of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Zamboanga del Norte is brought closer to the provinces in Luzon and Visayas.
Communication facilities in the province include 30 government postal offices, and several express delivery couriers; telecommunication like the telegraph, telephone with digital system, telex and facsimile; the broadcast media comprising 2 AM radio stations and 6 FM, 1 government TV- station, and 2 cable stations; and the print media providing 10 local weekly newspapers and all national dailies and magazines. Telecommunication companies like Smart and Globe are operating in the province. Internet services are also available via Moscom.com and Q-mile.com, both in Dipolog City.
The province has 3 power franchise holders -- Zamboanga del Norte Electric Cooperative (ZANECO), Zamboanga del Sur Electric Cooperative (ZAMSURECO), and Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative (ZANCELCO). ZANECO has 3 substations: Obay, Polanco with 10 MVA transformer, Pres. Roxas and Salug, each with 5 MVA transformers.
The province has 3 power franchise holders -- Zamboanga del Norte Electric Cooperative (ZANECO), Zamboanga del Sur Electric Cooperative (ZAMSURECO), and Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative (ZANCELCO).
Zamboanga del Nortes location is convenient to major domestic markets and settlement areas in Cebu City. Within 1,400 kilometre radius live approximately 10% of the countrys population accounting for about 9% of its disposable and manufacturing income. With Dipolog City, Dapitan City, Pres. Roxas and Liloy as takeoff points, these profitable markets are easy to reach.

Choose the size of your breakers with care say a 6amp breaker for lighting circuits, 10 or 15amp for sockets and 20amp for larger appliances. In weak net, like the Philippines, this is a common known problem. You can also see this in brown outs, where the voltage falls and light get red and dark.The supplier cant keep up voltage, when demand grows. This is actually the worst that can happen to a system like yours, too large circuit breakers, and a too low supply ability, called, the close loop resistance is too high. Normal is, that the short circuit need 10 12 time the current stamped on the breaker, to cut out the breaker safely. If the installation can't lead that current, it wont trip ever.

Fights inflammation to free you from pain
The most common form of arthritis called osteoarthritis (also known as degenerative arthritis) is a bit of a misnomer. It is not believed that inflammation plays a major role in osteoarthritis. Other painful conditions of the joints and musculoskeletal system that are not associated with inflammation include fibromyalgia, muscular low back pain, and muscular neck pain.
Often, only a few of these symptoms might be present.Inflammation may also be associated with general "flu"-like symptoms including:
So what Causes these Symptoms of Inflammation? When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body are released into the blood or affected tissues. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This process may stimulate nerves and cause pain.

What is inflammation?
It is the initial response of our body to injury or infection. It happens over seconds, minutes, hours, or days. We need acute inflammation so that the healing takes place in our body.
However, prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, is a never ending response of the body to injuries or infections. Although inflammation is needed to heal injuries, long term inflammation can lead to serious chronic diseases. In fact, more and more studies are coming out proving that inflammation is linked to heart disease, cancer, diabetes as well as Alzheimers and several kinds of dementia. Scary, isnt it?

How Can Nopalea cactus juice Help you
A: That depends. How much inflammation do you have inside you? You cant put out a forest fire with a single pail of water. You cant break the cycle of inflammation with a single serving of Nopalea. We need to meet the level of inflammation in our body with an equivalent force of anti-inflammatory Betalains from Nopalea. We must quench inflammation with a Nopalea cactus juice Loading Phase (NLP).
A:There are no known conflicts between Nopalea cactus juice and medications. Nopalea cactus juice contains natural ingredients and its main ingredient is derived from the fruit of the Nopal cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) from the Sonora Desert. It is low calorie and low carbohydrate, so it must be calculated as any other food in your total dietary intake of these macro nutrients.
A: Yes. There is a rule in wellness called cause and effect. It means that for every effect such as inflammation there must be a cause. Causes of inflammation include trauma or injury, deficiencies, toxins and stress. Deficiencies that cause inflammation include oxygen deficiency, sleep deprivation, insufficient water and imbalanced nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies (such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies) cause inflammation. We address the downstream effect of inflammation with Nopalea cactus juice. We address the cause of inflammation with appropriate supplementation and by close adherence to the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness.
A: No. The fruit of the Nopal cactus naturally tastes sweet. Agave has been added as well. Agave is a succulent cactus from the Sonora Desert that concentrates a syrup or nectar in its root. We juice the Nopal fruit and filter the Agave nectar as the chief ingredients in Nopalea cactus juice. We have also added many other fruits and vegetables to enhance both the flavour and function of Nopalea cactus juice.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea
Fights Inflammation
Nopal has been clinically proven in studies to reduce both fasting and post-prandial (after a meal) Hyperglycemia. Nopal cactus has been shown to contain a unique profile of high soluble and high insoluble fibers. These high levels of Nopal dietary fibers help prevent the rapid absorption of simple carbohydrates such as sugars into the blood stream during the digestion stage of a consumed meal. This digestive action, the result of ingesting Nopal or Nopal prior to, or during a meal, results in lowering the Glycemic Index of any meal and allows for a more stable blood sugar metabolism throughout the day.
The unique and abundant polysaccharide fibers and sterols found in the Nopal prickly pear, have been shown to work synergistically to reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Nopals primary mechanism is the bile salt binding in the intestine, that has been shown to prevent re-uptake and therefore results in the overall reduction of unhealthy lipids in the blood stream. However, it is also important to note that other active phyto-nutrients in Nopal, such as carotenoids and glycoproteins, have also been implicated in animal studies to increase activity in specific liver receptors that promote healthier blood lipids.
Nopal has Anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory constituents, these are in the form of polyphenols, sterols and glycoproteins. These that are found in Nopal are well known natural compounds, as they remove and prevent blood vessel plaques. Furthermore and equally as important is that regular fresh Nopal, Nopal Juice concentrate or Nopal cactus r intake, will help prevent the primary cause of heart disease, in the form of cardiovascular inflammation.
As we said earlier the Nopal prickly pear cactus contains an exceptional profile of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. The insoluble dietary fiber in Nopal more commonly known as roughage absorb both water and toxins and slowly and gently hasten food through the digestive track and thereby contributes to regular bowel movements.
Here in this section, The Nopal cactus vegetable varietys fibers and mucilages control excess gastric acid production and protect the gastrointestinal mucus membranes. This pH buffering and coating that Nopal offers, has been studied for the prevention of damage that may occur from ingesting excessive spicy foods, alcohol, aspirin and other pharmaceuticals. Clinical data proves that Nopal prickly pear cactus actually stimulates the healing of gastric ulcers soothing and significantly reduces gastrointestinal inflammation.
Here we want to touch on Nopal cactus ingestion, as it relates to the oxidative stress. Oxidative stress in the form of free radicals and toxic chemicals in our air, food and water, challenges our bodies daily to maintain a high antioxidant status and toxin elimination capacity. The key players in this defence system are our liver and immune system, especially when they become compromised, do we become inflamed and vulnerable to Sickness or contagious vulnerability.
Nopal pads, Nopal powder and Nopal Prickly pear cactus fruits are internationally renowned hangover prevention and treatment remedies. Many theories of Nopals beneficial effects have come forth, yet a simple assessment of constitutive benefits provides a reasonable explanation:
Nopals mucilaginous polysaccharides soothe the gastro intestinal tract and alleviate nausea while providing exceptional re-hydration Nopals antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients reduce systemic and hepatic inflammation The Nopal dietary fiber absorbs toxins and speeds up the cleansing of the blood stream.
As mentioned above, the ability of Nopal to normalize and lower blood sugar and lipids allows us to suggest that the Nopal cactus can eliminate the majority of the causative factors of Metabolic syndrome. Obesity is a resultant effect of this metabolic impairment and exacerbates the condition. Nopals fiber content is sufficient to effectively promote satiety when eaten before a meal and thus reduces hunger and caloric consumption. However unlike many weight loss products Nopal contains an excellent profile of nutrients that may otherwise be missing from a popular weight loss regimen. Healthy weight loss rates of approximately 1 kg / week have been reported.
Nopal was originally a food and has remained such throughout its recent popularity as a medicine. It is traditionally recommended as a whole food medicine, which indeed is the most effective method of treating disease. The Nopal Prickly pear cactus with its 18 amino acids 10 that are essential for humans -, has a full complement of B vitamins, minerals and a host of other highly bioactive phytonutrients, Nopal is the quintessential whole food medicine, which can be enjoyed long after your health has been restored.

A: That depends. How much inflammation do you have inside you? You cant put out a forest fire with a single pail of water. You cant break the cycle of inflammation with a single serving of Nopalea. We need to meet the level of inflammation in our body with an equivalent force of anti-inflammatory Betalains from Nopalea. We must quench inflammation with a Nopalea Loading Phase (NLP).
A:There are no known conflicts between Nopalea and medications. Nopalea contains natural ingredients and its main ingredient is derived from the fruit of the Nopal cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) from the Sonora Desert. It is low calorie and low carbohydrate, so it must be calculated as any other food in your total dietary intake of these macro nutrients.
A: Yes. There is a rule in wellness called cause and effect. It means that for every effect such as inflammation there must be a cause. Causes of inflammation include trauma or injury, deficiencies, toxins and stress. Deficiencies that cause inflammation include oxygen deficiency, sleep deprivation, insufficient water and imbalanced nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies (such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies) cause inflammation. We address the downstream effect of inflammation with Nopalea. We address the cause of inflammation with appropriate supplementation and by close adherence to the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness.
A: No. The fruit of the Nopal cactus naturally tastes sweet. Agave has been added as well. Agave is a succulent cactus from the Sonora Desert that concentrates a syrup or nectar in its root. We juice the Nopal fruit and filter the Agave nectar as the chief ingredients in Nopalea. We have also added many other fruits and vegetables to enhance both the flavour and function of Nopalea.

Resveratrol
In closing, I have to say that red wine has many health benefits, but a person cannot drink enough wine to make them healthy and overcome the major diseases. If a person wants a strong program of health support, they will have to work to learn as much as they can about resveratrol as a supplement and limit their consumption of red wine to a single glass of wine per day.
No one is suggesting that resveratrol will ever replace pain pills. But results from several early studies show that the compound could someday have a place in joint care. In fact, in a recent study, researchers found that injections of resveratrol helped soothe inflamed joints in animals. And while its not clear how much dietary resveratrol would be needed to help arthritis, grapes and grape juice have lots of other health-promoting qualities, so adding them to your diet certainly cant hurt.
Resveratrol stops inflammation the same way aspirin and non steroidl anti-inflammatory drugs do by inhibiting the molecular switch that turns inflammation on and off in the body.
