Why I want to write about BAC

Beside promoting, writing and educating people about BAC, I also use BAC personally, or I should say "eat" BAC as it is a food! I also try and often fail to apply much of the information that you will read in this book in my own life and journey towards health.

So am I a full fledge nutritional or medical scientist? Nope, I have a bachelor of sciences and a doctorate in naturopathy. Otherwise, I have studied foods and diets dating back from eating my grand mother's vegetable soups at home, to macrobiotics of the 60's, to vegan and ayurvedic, I studied with a few indian vegetarian masters. I have consciously lived and researched natural health in one way or another since I was 16 years old when I was introduced to yoga and vegetarianism, and then to natural foods and vitamins by my sister who worked in a health food store. For the last 6 years, I have been blessed with studying with a real field researcher and scientist, Dr. Michael Kiriac, who holds a PhD in cellular nutrition and who is likely the leading authority on BAC and algae technologies and its use for human and animal health. I also like all of us have common sense and a long personal and professional real life experience that has help me understand the subject.

I'm also the editor of BioNews, a health eNewsletter covering a wide variety of health topics. I've studied hundreds of books on health and nutrition, and I've invested thousands of hours in researching the links between foods and health.

I started eating BAC in late 2000, at which time I stopped entirely from taking at last count 23 different supplements of vitamins, minerals, and other separate and isolates nutrients. Incredibly and inexpectedly to myself, I have overcomed all of the health issues that I was plagued with 6 years ago; 45 extra pounds, chronic back problems, serious middle age fatigue and energy issues, mild bipolar and depression tendency, colds and flus, hypoglycemic and chronic acidity issues.

I have since lost 40 pounds of weight, ran my first and several more marathons, and gradually evolved to a diet of healthier organic, and natural foods. For the record, In the last six (6) years, I have not had one cold or flu episode lasting more then a few hours. As a matter of fact I say that have no more colds or flu, period. I have not missed one hour of work or fun due to being sick or even tired.

In the first year, I had periodic doubt and the thought of "placebo" came to mind. Now six years later, there is no doubt ever.

I live a very active high stress life. I don't eat perfectly, I make food mistake and other health mistakes. I eat little animal products, I use BAC as my self defense against the pollutants and toxic's ingredients that I consume, or that I am subjected to. I use BAC as my assurance that I get my essential vitamins, proteins, minerals and other important nutrients daily. I use BAC to get the additional nutritional bonuses of rare phytonutrients and trace elements that are otherwise impossible to obtain in our daily diets. I use BAC to elevate and sustain my energy and my mood. I use BAC to protect me from potential cardiovascular diseases, from hypoglycemics and other glandular imbalances. I use BAC to protect me from cancer and Alzheimer. And the best part about it is that BAC is a food... I can finally apply one of my most profound belief "Let Thy Food be Thy Medicine".

I am a highly skeptical individual. When I found out about BAC, I was elated to have found such a solution in one. Soon after, my usual skeptical brain kicked in with disbelief and questions. In 6 years, I have pried and investigated BAC from so many angles and perspectives. And best, I have been quizzed with those same questions and some much tougher ones from so many clients and friends. I am grateful for those as it forced me to get the answers and to learn even more about The Magic of BAC.

I've compared BAC and continue to do so daily with "leading", "hot", "popular" supplements, researching their ingredients (proteins, vitamins, enzymes, antioxidant's, greens, etc.) one at a time, their nutritional value, their bio availability, and much more, and after 6 years and hundreds of hours, I have found nothing that comes anywhere close to BAC. In the next pages, I hope to convey the rational's and information leading me to this conclusion.

I am biased about BAC, and I promote it to all who want to hear. Actually its the only supplement that I have promoted for the last 6 years. You won't find me pitching isolate vitamins and minerals. Most of the information on these pages is based on the knowledge and specific information that I have received from interviews and mentoring from Dr. Michael Kiriac, PhD, and the reading of hundreds of publicly available articles, web site pages, and several books on the subject; and not the least based on successful personal experience and results with my own health and that of my direct clients and of the clients of health professionals working with BAC.

OK, let's take a look at BAC. One of the first things people ask me about BAC is, "What is it made of anyway?"

What are Bio-Algae Concentrates?
