BodyHealth Offers Improved Additive-Free Supplement

Health-conscious consumers that read supplement labels and are justifiably wary of unhealthy additives such as dyes, allergenic binders, sugars and stearates now have another suitable option. BodyHealth, a national provider of products to optimize health, vitality and longevity, has improved its BodyHealth Complete + Detox, an additive-free, all-in-one multivitamin, multi-mineral antioxidant, by adding two new ingredients, vitamin K2 and CoQ10.

Many additives in vitamin supplements may harm the body, and have also been shown in studies by leading institutions such as Pharmaceutical Technology, April 1985, and Immunology, July 1990, to significantly reduce the absorption and effectiveness of nutrients contained in the supplement. Along with delivering natural ingredients, BodyHealth’s improved product provides whole foods and supports natural liver detoxification.

Dr. David Minkoff founded BodyHealth in 2000 as an outgrowth of the LifeWorks Wellness Center, a major alternative medicine clinic in Clearwater, Florida. It offers more than 20 products in liquid and pill form developed to improve cleansing/detox, weight loss, sleep and other benefits through its website and more than 250 healthcare practitioners nationwide.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
