Regardless if this is your first day with XOOMA or you’re celebrating another year with us it is a new day for you if you are utilizing the power of X2O!I’ve been involved with the wellness revolution for over 25 years now and I’m extremely excited about the power of X2O and how it has the ability to help heal us from the inside out! Now, as a Doctor of Chiropractic my main purpose is to balance the external structure of the body. Why?
We know that in science structure has a direct link to function. The central nervous system runs the body. The brain houses the “main box” of the central nervous system. The brain sends the message down the spinal cord which is housed inside the spinal column. Next the nerves exit the spine and send the energy to ALL parts of the body.
I believe God has given the body the ability to heal itself if given the proper opportunity. Stress creates misalignment of the spine and therefore putting pressure on the nerves creating dis-ease! Now that is certainly an over simplification of nine years of college but that should give you a basic idea of how the body and Chiropractic works.
So, what does that have to do with Xooma? Everything.
I have been looking for a long time for something that would balance the structure (body) internally (at the cellular level). I knew that water and pH is just as critical for the inside balance as Chiropractic adjustment is for the external balance. This can be done via nutrition however it is very difficult. So the first thing we do in my practice is share with each new client that they need to be drinking approximately half their body weight in ounces of water per day. (Check with your Doctor if you have any existing health problems)
Next, we recommend they use three X2O POWER PACKS per day (to me, they’re more than just “sachets” – they’re Power Packs!). I always suggest one X2O Power Pack at 8AM, one at Noon and one at 4PM.
So what do we do with the person who says “I drink that much water why should I add that X2O?” Simple, it boils down to how you feel. Symptoms have very little if anything to do with your health! They may be drinking enough water but it may be staying outside the cell (extra cellular fluid). If the cell wall is not permeable to water it’s probably because the body (cellular level) is to acidic. If that is the case, then the water can not go into the cell (intracellular) and if water is not getting in the cell then the nutrients aren’t getting in either. This is when cellular destruction and a dis-ease state begins.Notice I did not say a symptom would begin, out of 70-100 trillion cells many can die off (as they do daily) long before a symptom and then the problem begins. That is why we have a sign in my office that says the five most dangerous words for your health are “maybe it will go away.”
With the correct amount of water and X20 you are not only hydrating the body but you are putting approximately 70 trace minerals in the water for your body (cells) to use. However, as with the Chiropractic adjustment, there is not one “magic bullet” for your health. Proper hydration and pH balance must be the foundation to your health internally. That is why I say all vitamins are worthless without proper hydration and pH. The great news is Xooma Worldwide has formulated other great wellness products to support your body along with X2O.
If you want more great information on Xtreme Health contact Xooma and order the “Xtreme Health” book by Brad King for a fantastic education on this subject. Also if you have not done so, check the back office of your Xooma website for information on all the other great products Xooma offers.
If you are looking for a “new you” each day, start at the cellular level with proper hydration and pH balance and each day you will gain healthy new cells for a healthier you!
Yours in health,

Categories: Alkaline, X2O, Xooma, Xooma News Comments: 0By Tommie Weber and Ken Marsh
Ken MarshSome Xooma Members have recently contacted us with inquiries about water treatment machines and how they compare to X2O.
Here’s some great information you can use when you meet someone who might be involved in a company that sells water alkalizing machines or perhaps they are a consumer considering buying one of those machines.
Here are some advantages I believe Xooma & X2O offer over the water alkalizing machines in the market today…
• 100% natural, God made product. For those who tend to be more “natural health” orientated, I believe they would prefer to get their alkaline water from a God created source rather than a man-made machine. We know that the X2O delivers organic trace minerals into the water from a natural renewable source. I don’t believe those machines add minerals to the water. As I understand it, most of them try to retain the minerals that were present in the tap water (assuming the tap water had quality minerals in it) as they process the water.
• Affordable for almost anyone. Rather than spend thousands of dollars up front to purchase a machine, people can purchase X2O on a monthly basis for the affordable price of just $25 (U.S.). I recently saw a water alkalizing machine from a network marketing company that costs approximately $4,000 and I compared that to the cost for X2O. When I did the math I discovered that someone could use one sachet of X2O per day for 13.1 years for the same price of the machine. They could use 2 sachets per day for 6.5 years before it would equal the cost of the machine. I know that most of those machines need some kind of routine maintenance during their first 6.5 years and they may need to be replaced once they get to be 13 years old.
• Convenient to use and carry. X2O goes with you wherever you go since it fits in your pocket, purse, or brief case. Add it to any source of water you choose whenever you choose. NO need to “make” your water at home and take it with you in bottles wherever you go. Also, no need to transport a machine with you on business trips or vacations.
• Easy to sample and sell. Giving or selling someone a sample pack of X2O is easy and affordable. Most people can easily afford the product and most Members feel very confident and comfortable “selling” something this affordable. But the average distributor in our industry is probably very fearful or lacks the skills required to sell a machine that costs thousands of dollars. Our product affordability for the masses leads to more duplication and more success for everyone.
• Repeat monthly sales. Machines are a one-time purchase but X2O is a monthly purchase. We have a much better chance of establishing a long-term residual income with a product that people need and use every month.
Bottom line: X2O offers BIG benefits in a small and very affordable package. And don’t forget…
Personally sponsor just 4 people who use $100 worth of Xooma’s products each month and you’ll earn over $100 yourself. That’s like getting your personal products for FREE each month!
More “Food for Thought”…
Tommie WeberJust to add a thought (or two) to Ken’s comparison to water treatment machines keep this in mind…
“pH” is monitored and achieved in the body in a natural way. It uses buffering minerals. The body doesn’t reach homeostasis by ingesting high Ph fluids. It uses nutrients to search for balance. This balance is found at a pH of approximately 7.35.
No one knows exactly how the body creates different combinations of building blocks out of nano-nutrients simply because the human body is still smarter than all of us and we don’t have the technology to measure its trans-mutating ability. The body has some distinct “super powers” we don’t understand.
For me, “balance” is what we are trying to achieve with X20. Balance is what the entire Universe runs on and to borrow from Ken’s thought, God created the machine we walk around in, and God created the universe. We own our vehicle – or lease it as I see it, but we are also an infinitely small part of the universal body. Hence the hypothesis – “We are all connected.”
We stumble and bumble around putting together pieces of wisdom and call them “breakthroughs” when it was more of a Creator induced hide and seek game to begin with.
Balancing the pH of the body takes pure water, and an entire spectrum of minerals which the body then directs to targeted areas of need based on autonomic response. An onslaught of high pH fluids with no intelligent direction may have some limited affect, but it is not the long term solution.
Think of it like synthetic insulin used in diabetics. We throw enough in to lower the blood sugar and if it drops too low we add orange juice or a piece of candy to artificially bring it back up. Again, an interim tool – not a permanent solution. Our internal environment at peace and rest in balance leads to an external environment in balance and a peace with everything in it.Suffice it to say the X20 does everything a water ionizing machine does with some added super powers the body needs to defend itself. The body is its own best pharmacy and fixes 99% of everything that goes wrong with it on a daily basis. I can’t state often enough or loud enough:
“The human body is still smarter than we are.”
Balance, as Ken so eloquently suggested is better done in harmony with nature than in trying to control, corral or improve nature – which in most cases is a mistake.
As a very wise friend and mentor taught me years ago:
“Nature has its own laws and will not allow violation without a negative response.”This is true because just like nature, our body is in constant search for balance. It is in constant motion and experiences constant change. It cannot be qualified or quantified. It is here for us to enjoy, explore and try to unravel its mysteries.
Searching for balance is a way of life and X20 is a very important part of the puzzle.

How To Take Rhodiola
Rhodiola rosea root extract is commonly available as an individual supplement and in combination products. If you choose a combination product, take as directed on the label. For the individual herb, typical doses are 150 to 300 mg/day of extract, taken in two divided doses on an empty stomach. For example: 150 mg before breakfast and 150 mg before lunch, for a total of 300 mg/day.2
It’s most important to look for a Rhodiola rosea root extract standardized to contain a minimum of three percent rosavins and one percent salidroside. This matches the extract concentrations used in clinical trials.
Be sure to specifically look for Rosea. Products called just “Rhodiola,” “Tibetan Rhodiola,” or “Indian Rhodiola” are NOT equivalant to Rhodiola rosea root extract. In fact, because of significant species-dependent variations in phytochemistry, the use of “Rhodiola” alone as a general term may be inaccurate and could be misleading on product packaging. Of all the species tested, Rhodiola rosea has been the predominant subject of phytochemical, animal, and human studies.2
While clinical studies have shown a benefit in taking doses higher than 300 mg/day of Rhodiola rosea root extract, studies frequently demonstrated that lower doses performed better than higher doses.
Daily Nutritional Support with Rhodiola Rosea
Use/Indication Age Daily Dosage Improve cellular energy and mental performance 18-30 150-300 mg Improve cellular energy and mental performance 31-40 150-300 mg Improve cellular energy and mental performance 50+ 150-300 mg Contraindications
First and foremost, Rhodiola rosea is extremely safe, and has very few side effects. Most users find that it improves their mood, energy level, and mental clarity. Some individuals, particularly those who tend to be anxious, may feel overly activated, jittery, or agitated. If this occurs, try a smaller dose with very gradual increases.2
Rhodiola rosea should be taken early in the day. If taken late in the day or evening, it can interfere with sleep or cause vivid dreams (not nightmares) during the first few weeks of use. It is contraindicated in excited states.2
Because Rhodiola rosea has an activating, antidepressant effect, it should not be used in individuals with bipolar disorder who are vulnerable to becoming manic when given antidepressants or stimulants.2last one

Rhodiola Rosea, Stress, And Mental Performance
Stress interferes with memory functions. Over time, stress causes deterioration in memory systems. Rhodiola rosea (R. rosea or rhodiola) appears to exert positive effects on memory and cognition by improving resistance to physical and emotional stress.This dual action of cognitive stimulation and emotional calming creates benefits for immediate cognitive and memory performance, as well as for the long-term preservation of brain function.2 Calm and alert – you can’t be in a better mental state than that!
- Several studies have shown that rhodiola (again specifically: R. rosea) can dramatically reduce stress and simultaneously increase mental performance. One study found that a 170 mg/day dose of rhodiola countered the fatigue and stress experienced by young, healthy physicians on night duty.15 In this randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial, researchers measured rhodiola’s effect on five different measures of mental acuity: associative thinking, short-term memory, calculation, concentration, and speed of audiovisual perception. They found statistically significant improvements in all five of these mental performance parameters in the physicians who took rhodiola for two weeks.15
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at a medical academy, young, healthy students were supplemented with either rhodiola (100mg/day) or a placebo for 20 days. The group that consumed the rhodiola extract experienced significant improvements in physical work capacity, coordination, and general well-being, along with decreased mental fatigue and situational anxiety. The supplemented students also scored higher on final exams!16
- A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical study was performed to measure the effect of a single dose of rhodiola extract on capacity for mental work against a background of fatigue and stress. Researchers administered a single dose of rhodiola to healthy young individuals (19 to 21 years of age) and measured the beneficial results using an anti-fatigue index. The study showed a pronounced anti-fatigue effect from that single dose that was statistically highly significant (p < 0.001).17
In summary: based on centuries of use – going back almost 2,000 years to its documented tradition as a remedy in classic Greek medicine, all the way to the many animal and human clinical studies mounted by modern scientists – we know that rhodiola has a wide array of documented health benefits. In fact, rhodiola is likely to become the next herbal superstar.
Rhodiola’s ability to increase mental energy points to tremendous potential for counteracting the mental fatigue so common with the aging process. And studies show that rhodiola can favorably support our minds and bodies as we deal with the stresses that seem omnipresent in our modern lives. Rhodiolais a valuable addition to any supplement program designed to boost mental performance and slow the aging process.
Richard P. Brown and Patricia L. Gerbarg, astute researchers who have worked tirelessly in bringing the science behind this unique herb to Western medicine, had this to say:
In the course of evolution, R. rosea has adapted to the harsh conditions of high altitude (extreme cold, low oxygen, little rainfall, and intense irradiation from the sun) by producing a group of powerful protective compounds that have diverse beneficial effects in animals and humans. One is struck by the versatility of R. rosea, from its description in Greek medicine, 2000 years ago to its use by 20th century cosmonauts. It is time for modern research, using controlled clinical trials, to develop the potential medical applications of this unique phyto-adaptogen.3,4
In their exhaustive review of the medical and scientific literature exploring the benefits of this wonderful herb, the authors go on to say that
…[m]ore scientific research is needed to confirm the preventive and curative benefits of R. rosea. Controlled studies are warranted to explore its use in antidepressant augmentation, disorders of memory and cognition, attention deficit disorder, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, protection against arrhythmias, sports performance, aviation and space medicine (enhancing physical and mental performance while reducing stress reactions), endocrine disorders (infertility, premenstrual disorder, menopause), sexual dysfunction, disorders of the stress response system (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and post traumatic stress disorder), and enhancement of chemotherapy/radiation with amelioration of toxicity.2

Early on, Soviet researchers identified rhodiola as an adaptogen1 – an agent that increases one’s resistance to biological, chemical, and physical stressors. Rhodiola was studied extensively to evaluate its potential benefits for military personnel, cosmonauts, and athletes participating in international competition. Today, an impressive body of scientific literature supports the traditional and modern applications of this herb.
Rhodiola has demonstrated a remarkable ability to enhance cellular energy metabolism. The studies published thus far show the herb to be highly beneficial for both physical and mental performance under stress. The herb provides significant enhancement of mental energy and eliminates fatigue. It stimulates norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, and has cholinergic effects in the central nervous system. Rhodiola also supports and enhances the effects of these neurotransmitters by increasing the delivery of precursors (building blocks) that can be utilized to produce dopamine and serotonin.2,5-9
Much like ginkgo biloba, rhodiola is supported by centuries of documented medicinal uses. Decades of accumulated scientific studies validate rhodiola’s usefulness for improving mental performance, energy, and stamina.
Rhodiola rosea:
- Protects the nervous system against oxidative damage by free radicals through its antioxidant activity.2,10,11
- Enhances learning and memory in animal models and increases serotonin levels in the frontal cerebral cortex.2,7-9,12
- Promotes release of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin in ascending pathways that activate the cerebral cortex and the limbic system. Consequently, the cognitive (thinking, analyzing, evaluating, calculating, and planning) functions of the cerebral cortex and the attention, memory, and learning functions of the prefrontal and frontal cortex are enhanced.2
- Optimizes the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter associated with learning, attention and memory.2
- May prevent or ameliorate some age-related dysfunction in neurotransmitter systems that tend to deteriorate with aging.2,13
- Has been found, in animal studies, to improve long-term memory when administered in low doses over a period of 10 days.8
- Has been found to positively influence the central nervous system by increasing ability to concentrate and by improving cellular resistance to outside influences.14
