What You Do On The Athlete's Protocol       The Athlete's Protocol can be implemented in stages. However, from our thirty years of experience, we believe it is imperative that you do the first five actions of The Protocol to see immediate and phenomenal results.     After every product starting with # 5, we include a FREE (does not cost anything) or SEMI-FREE (costs little) action that you should incorporate into your daily routine and lifestyle to fine-tune and improve your athletic performance and health. Some of these actions may seem unimportant to you. Try them and see the difference they make in your well-being and performance.   Remember, according to how the body was designed and how it functions optimally, we believe it is imperative that you do the first five actions as the foundation to The Protocol.   Unless you do these five things, whatever else you do to 'fine-tune' your body, will not be as effective. Building upon the foundation of these first five actions creates an environment inside your body and brain that is conducive to you moving forward with solid gains in health, strength, and ability.   Many athletes discover that when they stop using their former "supplements" and simply adhere to The Athlete's Protocol regimen, they have remarkable gains. You can also save a small fortune.     #1 The Most Important Action   zDrink Ionized Alkaline Water       Drink a minimum of 8 to 12 (or more) glasses of alkaline water from The Protocol's Water Ionizer daily. Between meals, never during meals. You may drink the water up to one half hour before a meal. Drink nothing until at least one hour after the meal is finished.       First thing in the morning upon arising, drink two glasses of ionized water immediately. A half a gallon to a gallon per day is ideal.       This addresses each of the seven internal environments. Drinking Ionized Water very effectively (1) alkalizes and (2) hydrates your body. It is an efficient way to (3) detoxify and (4) oxygenate your body. It is the only way to rapidly hydrate your (5) lymph so you can stimulate it properly. It is productive at keeping your body in a proper (6) electrical construct. In addition, drinking Ionized Water lowers the lymph fluid to near 45 dynes so that (7) nutrients can readily be fed to your cells.       Also worth noting, is the incredible antioxidant effect. Millions of hydroxyl ions per glass of Ionized Alkaline Water neutralizes the damaging free-radicals that are created by all athletes during intense exercise.       Lactic acid build up is also effectively flushed out of the body.     #2 The Second Most Important Action    zTake Royal Velvet       Take a minimum of nine sprays of Royal Velvet daily. 12 to 15 sprays are optimal.       Royal Velvet is an athlete's greatest tool for health, energy, strength, endurance, recovery, and skill. The plethora of God created nutrients found in Royal Velvet adequately supply the brain with building materials for the replenishment of neurotransmitters, feed the cells, help balance hormones to youthful levels, and so much more.       Ever since the truth came out about velvet being the secret weapon used by the Russian weightlifters for decades (they won nearly all Olympic and major world competitions), more and more athletes have been seeking the most potent antler velvet product available. No one knowledgeable of the facts can question that Royal Velvet is by far the most potent.       Dr. Alex Duarte, in his book Velvet Deer Antler - The Ultimate Antiaging Supplement states, "If you are interested in building muscle tissue, increasing strength and endurance, and turning back the aging clock by 20 or more years, be ye young or be ye old, IGF-1 is the secret of the fountain of youth. ... IGF-1 derived from velvet antler may be the answer that all bodybuilders . have been looking for."     #3 The Third Most Important Action   zWear LifeWave™ Energy Patches       Wear LifeWave™ Energy Patches during training and always during competition.       In third party tests conducted independently, over 99% of LifeWave™ users experienced significant improvements in physical strength after a few minutes of using LifeWave™, with typical increases being 10% and higher. 99% also experienced significant increases in stamina after a few minutes of using LifeWave™, with typical increases being 25% and higher.       Imagine a dramatic increase in strength and stamina during training and workouts! This helps you break through barriers of stagnation and tough levels of training that you thought you would never get past.       Wearing the Energy Patches during competition is a MUST. Two sets of patches can be worn during performance for added benefits.       World/national/league records and/or personal bests have been reported to us by nearly all who wear the LifeWave™ Energy Patches while drinking the Ionized Water and taking the Royal Velvet.       It is very important to wear the patches as instructed in the literature.   Special Note: Wearing the patches does use up enzymes and some minerals rather quickly in the body. These need to be replenished daily. Royal Velvet (#2), Royal Chlorella (#4) and Living Multi (#5) contain most of these needed nutrients. If there is one other "supplement" that we have found advantageous for those wearing the Energy Patches, it is Omegazyme. This is the best natural and complete enzyme product on the market today.     #4  The Fourth Most Important Action    zTake Royal Chlorella       Take a minimum of nine Royal Chlorella capsules per day.       Chlorella is the best-selling health supplement in the world, especially in the Orient. In Japan, where it is nearly idolized, its extraordinary powers have been studied for centuries.   l Chlorella is over 60% pure protein by weight, and is particularly rich in essential amino acids like L-lysine and L-Phenylalanine. l Chlorella is extremely rich in Chlorophyll, the green plant pigment considered by many natural health practitioners to be a versatile detoxifier and colon cleanser. Chlorella averages 2.5% percent Chlorophyll (compared to 0.76% for Spirulina and only 0.2% for Alfalfa). l Chlorella is a rich source of the Branched Chain Amino Acids - L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, & L-Valine - utilized by many athletes for maximum muscle building, repair, and energy. l Chlorella contains RNA and DNA - the nucleic acids governing cell growth, reproduction, and repair - at a level 17 times higher than the sardine, the previous "king" of high RNA/DNA foods. l Chlorella's unique Chlorella Growth Factor has been shown in published scientific research to be powerful in promoting rapid, healthy growth.     #5 The Fifth Most Important Action   zTake Living Multi       We searched the world for the most potent and complete multi-vitamin to compliment Royal Velvet and Royal Chlorella for your nutritional needs. Garden of Life's Living Multi is the hands down winner.       Take 6-9 caplets per day depending on nutritional needs. For best results, take 9 caplets daily. May be taken with or without food.       Living Multi Optimal Formula is a complete vitamin and mineral supplement with optimal levels of each nutrient in its preferred body ready form. This advanced formula is specially created to enhance energy and performance, facilitate cellular detoxification and reduce oxidative stress. Living Multi Optimal Formula contains 70 whole foods, including 23 fruits, 20 vegetables, 11 tonic mushrooms, 9 ocean vegetables and 6 botanicals. This is equivalent to 203,150 mg of fresh Superfoods.       Living Multi Optimal Formula is created using a proprietary The Poten-Zyme™  process, which unlocks nutritional effectiveness using Homeostatic Nutrient complexes. These complexes contain all the enzymes, amino acids, probiotics and organic acids necessary to deliver nutrients in their body-ready forms.       Stop taking all other supplements labeled multi-vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and the like. You no longer need them. Royal Velvet, Royal Chlorella, and Living Multi now supply you with nearly all the nutrients you need along with a healthy eating program.       The above five actions constitute 75% of the benefits you gain from The Protocol. Even though the following dozen or more actions 'only' give you 25% more benefit to you becoming a world-class athlete, they are definitely worth doing for the serious athlete.       FREEBIE #1 Eat Healthy (HELP)   Eat as if your life depends upon it, because it does.   The Homeostasis Eating for Life Plan (HELP) is a guideline for every person, young or old, healthy or ill, athlete or homemaker, male or female.   Many people will ask about getting enough protein and various other concerns on the HELP. We believe that the athletes we know on the HELP consistently tell us that it is the best and most healthy eating program they have ever been on, with results to prove it. (For increased protein needs, use Goatein IG, #6 on the list.)   Recognize that God-created foods are harmonious with your body. Processed and adulterated foods are incompatible with your body. The HELP takes into account the special needs of the athlete and the person desiring a "fine-tuned" body.   For details and more information about the HELP, z CLICK HERE       #6 The Sixth Most Important Action   zTake Goatein IG       Take five Goatein IG caplets before every workout and 2 to 4 more times throughout the day. (Take five at a time, best on an empty stomach.)       Goatein IG is a high quality protein powder from goat's milk and the only protein supplement on the market made with goat's milk colostrum. Protein is vital to immune system function, digestion, cell growth and tissue repair.       Protein is made up of amino acids, eight of which are considered "essential" because they cannot be manufactured by the body. Goatein IG protein provides all eight in just the right proportions to give your body the complete protein it needs for good health and vitality. The powerful combination of immunoglobulins, peptides and growth factors in Goatein IG protein encourages fat burning, lean muscle growth and cellular rejuvenation.       FREEBIE #2 Do 4-16-8 Breathing Sessions   You should do ten or more 4-16-8 breathing sessions per day.   Always begin your day (right before you get out of bed) with a 4-16-8 breathing session. This will help oxygenate your brain and muscles, giving you a more energetic start to your day. Throughout the day, do as many 4-16-8 breathing sessions as you feel comfortable with. One every half hour is ideal. One per hour is excellent. Ten per day is the minimum. Always before training and performance.   4-16-8 breathing is simple. 1) Breathe in to the count of four. 2) Hold that breath to the count of 16. 3) Exhale to the count of 8. (Keep pushing the air out of your lungs to the full count of 8.) Do this 5 times in a row. It is called a 4-16-8 breathing session.   4-16-8 breathing helps oxygenate your entire body, brain, and cells. It very effectively eliminates carbon dioxide. (Which is a problem for everyone because of shallow breathing.) It helps to bring your oxygen/hydrogen ratio to the correct balance. Your energy levels will go up, headaches will decrease, sleep time will be better, and your aches and pains may diminish, at least slightly. Moreover, it is free!       #7 The Seventh Most Important Action   Strengthen Respiratory/Lung Function with   zBreathe!       One of the human body's eleven major systems, the respiratory system is vital for any athlete to perform optimally. When athletes have chosen to do all they can to improve just this one system within the body, usually amazing things have happened.       Obviously, doing the first five Most Important Actions in The Protocol will strengthen the respiratory system the most. However, like most systems in your body, there are substances (herbs, nutrients, etc.) that can specifically boost their function.       For example, the previously mediocre Chinese National Track and Field runners proceeded to break several world records in the World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 1993. After all the tests for anabolic steroids and like substances were completed, the tests came back negative. When pressed for an answer, the coach and team testified to using the mushroom Cordyceps along with some other tonic herbs that boosts the respiratory system.       We investigated hundreds of medical documents and scientific studies to look for the most potent and beneficial natural substances to promote a healthy respiratory system with proven results. The company New Chapter, likewise was doing the same, and created the product "Breathe!".       They discovered that Russian mountaineers, Himalayan guides, and Chinese Olympic athletes that excelled, had one thing in common: they all relied on traditional medicinal mushrooms that were legendary for promoting lung strength.       Therefore, we recommend Breathe! for optimal respiratory function. Take two to four capsules daily.       FREEBIE #3 Daily Sunshine   Get some sunshine daily. Try to expose as much skin to direct sunlight for a minimum of 15 minutes daily. There is no maximum as long as it is within reason and your skin does not burn, peel, or dry out. One to two hours is ideal.   Sunshine is vital for Vitamin D production, helping boost your immune system, brain hormone production, as well as many other biomechanical processes. Avoiding the sun in the summer between 10am and 3pm is advisable. In extreme winter environments, at least expose your face to the sun for 30 minutes or more daily. Do your best. We understand that not everyone can do this daily, because of weather and geography.       #8 The Eighth Most Important Action   zTake Primal Defense       Take between 3 and 9 per day as needed to have normal bowel movements. (For a definition of 'normal bowel movements', z CLICK HERE.)       If you only knew how important the Digestive System is! Foods once contained Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSOs), but because of toxic chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and pollution, our soils have been sterilized of these beneficial organisms.       Unlike other probiotics, the HSOs in Primal Defense supplements can thrive in the toughest digestive environments and are undeterred by temperature, stomach acid, chlorine, fluorine, ascorbic acid or bile. Athletes report many positive benefits when they add Primal Defense to their diet.
