(Dr. Aaron Tabor's first visit with Dr. Kenji Asakura) Dearest: I have heard the frustration of women whose gynecologists only know to tell them, "Take Premarin." Women have begged their doctors for at least some information about more natural options to the HRT which has been prescribed almost automatically to female patients entering or in menopause. Finally, a group of mainstream doctors have listened to the pleas of women and have come up with an answer to our needs - a non-invasive alternative without the risk of cancer (which so many women are developing today. A natural alternative we can take without the bloating, migraines, risk of stroke, thrombophlebitis (clots) and cancer :( Physicians Laboratories, a group of mainstream doctors trained at and associated with prestigious medical institutions, such as Johns Hopkins and Sloan-Kettering are represented tonight by its Medical Director DR. AARON TABOR and PL's Nutritional Science Director, DR. KENJI ASAKURA. PL has developed REVIVAL SOY PROTEIN SHAKES (you're going to be hearing a great deal more about Revival) to treat women in menopause - to eliminate hot flashes, depression, fatigue, mood swings, crying spells, protect us from cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, vaginal dryness, anxiety, lower cholesterol and a host of other wonderful side effects. Drs. Tabor and Asakura will answer your questions about Soy Isoflavones and Revival - the only SOY shake available which emulates the diet of the Japanese woman, whom we've all heard has no hot flashes, and in whose country there is a very small incidence of heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer. Dearest: It's a pleasure to welcome you both to Power Surge, Drs. Tabor and Asakura. Can we start off by explaining exactly what soy isoflavones do for women in menopause? Thank you :) Dr. Aaron Tabor: It has been known for many years now that women who have high isoflavone intakes (via soy) have low rates of menopausal complaints, heart disease, osteoporosis, and breast cancer. The medical research indicates that soy estrogens are a safe way to nutritionally manage your health without the need for chemicals. Dearest: Thank you, Dr. Tabor, but we know there are numerous other soy protein shakes on the market today. How is Revival different from those? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The KEY to soy protein is eating enough of it on a daily basis. The Japanese women on a traditional soy protein diet eat 4-8 servings of soy on a daily basis. This can provide up to 200 milligrams of plant estrogens per day. I don't think that most women have the time or patience to ingest this much soy on a daily basis. Revival is designed to make the proper amount of plant estrogens accessible to women who are busy or who do not care for the taste of traditional soy foods. One serving of Revival contains 184 milligrams of soy estrogens - the equivalent to 6-8 servings of traditional soy foods. These levels are hard to obtain in other soy proteins because of the need to eat so many servings. Dearest: How much soy isoflavones are contained in the average soy protein shake on the market, such as Genisoy? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The average amount of isoflavones is about 1.8 milligrams per gram or about 30 milligrams per 15-20 gram serving. Genisoy claims to have 74 milligrams in a 24 gram serving. Genisoy uses SUPRO protein. According to the manufacturer of SUPRO, this level cannot not be obtained in 24 grams of SUPRO. Dearest: So, that would mean a woman would have to drink SIX Genisoy shakes to equal one Revival? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Yes, six servings of a Genisoy shake that contains 15 grams of protein. Dearest: Thank you. Let's go to the audience questions now. Sue, go ahead, please. Sue: My question is, what time of day is best to drink the shake? Can it actually be divided up into more than one serving? Dr. Aaron Tabor: It depends on what you want to achieve. The soy estrogens peak at about 6-12 hours in your body. If your primary complaints are during the day, then it is best to take it in the morning. If you are having problems sleeping, then take it for lunch or for dinner. Yes, you can divide the shake up. The important point is to get the full amount of plant estrogens for the day. Dearest: Dr. Tabor, from the very first shake, I had a BOOST of energy, almost like having a B-12 shot! Have you heard of this? .....(and it continues) Dr. Aaron Tabor: Yes. Revival is used at the Chronic Fatigue Clinic at Johns Hopkins because the soy protein is an excellent source of energy. Also, the plant estrogens at this high level produce very quick results for the majority of women and men. Dearest: Thank you. Nancy, go ahead with your question :) Nancy2Nyc: What about cost/product quality & consistency / insurance coverage? And how do you order it and transition from your current prescription Dr. Aaron Tabor: Milligram for milligram of plant estrogens, Revival is typically 2-4 times less expensive than a retail soy protein. This is because we keep costs low by cutting out the middle-men. We test Revival three separate times for quality, purity and isoflavone content. I don't know of any other soy protein that does this on a regular basis. We not only want it to work great for you, but we also want to ensure that it is safe! Dearest: Thank you, Dr. Tabor. Before I found Revival, like many women, I bought quite a few of the generic soy protein shakes -- with various names, some nothing more than a chocolate shake -- and I noticed using one serving daily, the cannister never lasted even half a month. So, it seems women are buying two cannisters of soy powder per month and getting only a fraction of the natural plant estrogens contained in one daily packet of Revival. Interesting. Dearest: Graceful, please ask your question. Graceful64: Can one or more shakes replace my daily pill of Estrace? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The Japanese women who consume large amounts of soy go through the transitional years of mid-life without the need for prescription medications according to our Japanese doctors. Whether or not you can do the same is a question that you should discuss with your own physician. Revival can be taken with your prescription medication. Many researchers of soy take both HRT and soy in order to gain benefits from both. Dearest: Thank you. P1Williams, go ahead, please. P1WILLIAMS: I am taking Prempo. If I add Revival, is that too much estrogen? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The soy estrogens act differently than prescription estrogens. There is little medical evidence to suggest that women on HRT should avoid soy products. Some leading researchers believe that adding soy to their diet can offset the increased cancer risks linked to HRT. Dearest: NYLaurel, go ahead, please. NYLAUREL: I'm taking estratest-hs now, is Revival appropriate to manage the change to natural without too much disruption? You mentioned that wouldn't be too much estrogen, how should I go about going totally natural from taking a pill now? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Many women on Revival have had great results without the need for additional therapies. Of course, every woman's body is different. What we encourage you to do is to find the correct combination that is right for you. I believe that soy protein should be at least part of the solution for almost all women. I placed my mother solely on Revival and I am very comfortable knowing that this is the only therapy that she is using. She loves the results and doesn't have to worry about the side effects with other therapies. Most people find that using Revival along with their prescriptions are fine for several weeks to months, and then they make a decision to taper one or the other off completely. Dearest: I believe you said your mother was on HRT before starting Revival and having problems, yes? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Yes. She experienced unacceptable side-effects, such as bloating, irritability, and weight gain. She didn't care too much for a continued menstrual period or the worries about breast cancer. Dearest: RbO, go ahead with your question. Rb082543: Have you ever seen symptoms of numbness and tingling due to low levels of estrogen? Dr. Aaron Tabor: You certainly can experience numbness and tingling associated with menopause. Dearest: Thank you, Dr. Tabor... I'm being IM'ed for info about your Web site. Let me provide the URL and toll free numbers now: Learn more about Revival Soy Protein Shakes on their Web site. To ask questions of their physicians on call: 1-800-700-1560. To order Revival: 1-800-700-1560. Dearest: Ok, RCH, go ahead, please :) RCHCTH: Can a person get too much soy? Any side effects if you do? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The only problems that we have ever seen with soy is allergies to the soy protein itself. About 1 percent of Americans have soy allergies. You would probably have digestion problems before you could eat enough of the soy to have any adverse effects from the isoflavones. Dearest: Thanks, Dr. Tabor.... Coco, go ahead, please. Cocograms: I have fibroids and am on HRT, I would prefer the more natural but have been unsuccessful. How long will revival take before my hot flashes go away? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Dearest, can you comment on this? Dearest: Can I comment on how long it will take? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Yes. Dearest: Well, my hot flashes went away within a few days after my first Revival shake. I haven't had a single hot flash since starting Revival and *nothing* else has helped me. I've also been thrilled with the newfound energy. I isolated for so long -- having to nap every day, feeling exhausted and very, very depressed. I haven't had a moment's depression since starting Revival. I know that every woman is different, but the hundreds of women in Power Surge who've tried Revival, based upon my experience, have had excellent results. It's posted daily all over the Power Surge message boards on America Online -- keyword: ages and stages and on the Web boards. Your physicians have developed an excellent product, Dr. Tabor and I'm so happy the women of Power Surge have benefitted from your efforts. Thank you. Cocograms: Thank you. Dr. Aaron Tabor: And what happened when you stopped for several days? (when you didn't reorder) Dearest: I reported it on the message boards. I was astounded that when I was out of it for 4-5 days, my hot flashes came back full force. Remember when I called you to ask what was wrong? I was feeling lifeless. The depression returned which, to me, is worse than the hot flashes. I'll have to sign up for that club you have that automatically sends out refills every month. Dr. Aaron Tabor: Yes I remember and thanks Dearest. Kaaitjie: I am using natural soy/yam-based HRT from a compounding pharmacy. Would you recommend that I take Revival along with it and for how long - forever? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Revival can be used in combination with any therapy. You may save some money by not duplicating your efforts. It is never too soon or too late to begin using soy in your daily diet. The long-term benefits seen in the Japanese populations come from eating soy on a daily basis. I plan to keep soy in my diet (Revival) for the rest of my life. I am convinced of the health benefits for both women and men. Kaaitjie: Do you mean that I could go off my natural hormones? Dr. Aaron Tabor: What we know about soy protein is that it works and that it is safe. I haven't seen good documentation that many of the other therapies being used are safe in the long-term. Our area of expertise is soy. Whether or not you should go off of the natural hormones is up to you. I believe that you can use soy protein in combination or alone and achieve great results. Dearest: Dr. Tabor, share with us, please, the benefits of Revival on heart health, cholesterol, etc. Dr. Aaron Tabor: The benefits for heart health have been well- documented for soy protein. The heart benefits is what has fueled the recent explosion in additional soy research. Soy protein will lower cholesterol – total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and this effect is greater with higher doses of soy estrogens. A recent study showed that if people with normal cholesterol levels lower their levels by just a few points, they significantly reduced their risk of heart disease. Dearest: I just received an IM from a 4 year veteran of Power Surge, Dr. Tabor. She had to leave, but asked me to thank you for Revival. She said it's helped her like nothing else has :) Gratifying, isn't it? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Our mission at Physicians Laboratories is to serve patients through education and medical research. We have put over three years of our time into Revival and we are very pleased to see what a difference it is making for so many women and men in the 4 months it has been available. Dearest: We are very grateful. Just out of curiosity, how many women present have tried Revival? Please type "yes" if you have. Thanks. Sue: Yes PianoMary: Yes Terri39302: Yes TISHWEAVER: Yes BT2727: Yes PZukow: Yes taking it faithfully Sally1019: Yes Sculptsc: Yes KaliMa28: Yes Sanko fp1: Yes RCHCTH: Yes AnnamCara: Waiting for delivery Dearest: Are you pleased with the results? PianoMary: You bet PZukow: YES!!!! TZdoe: Not yet:) Terri39302: Very much so! BT2727: Just started RCHCTH: Yes Sally1019: DEFINITELY!!!! COOPNB: Yes Kaaitjie: Not yet Sanko fp1: Yes, very much so. KaliMa28: Just started GUENWYVAR: Gonna get some after tonight! Buchermj: Not Yet. Pms53: Waiting for delivery Leseetsa: Waiting for first order RosesR2468: On my second day. PZukow: Thank God for revival, miracle cure, wonder of the ages. Dearest: That's fabulous! I hope every woman in menopause will find Revival and try it herself. After trying literally every soy shake on the market, I'm completely blown away by it. CPouy: I wasn't able to absorb HRT orally, only sublingually with estrogen/testosterone & progesterone cream. Does this mean I might not be able to absorb it? Dr. Aaron Tabor: That is difficult to determine. About 97% of women can properly absorb plant estrogens without problems. The other 2-3% may not have the proper intestinal bacteria to pre-process the isoflavones before absorption. We are working on a version that will solve this problem. But, chances are that you will do fine with Revival. Dearest: Jilly, go ahead. JILLY: What can one to do to avoid stomach upset, bloating after drinking revival? I am mixing it with water. I also suffer with constipation. Thank you Dr. Aaron Tabor: There are several things that you can try. The first thing is not to drink too much of Revival at a time. Some women are not used to getting this much protein in a single meal. It is fine to split it into 2 or more portions for the day. Another solution is to add more fluid to each shake and dilute it down a little. If the problem persists, you may want to try another flavor or drink it at a different time during the day. We also have a protein bar (like a rice krispy treat) that will be available soon. Dearest: Oh, my! A Rice Krispy protein bar as delicious as the shake? Dr. Aaron Tabor: I had a delicious batch of it yesterday! Dearest: Do they contain the same amount of soy isoflavones in one bar as the shakes - 184 mg. per bar? I mean, can we alternate the shakes with the bars? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Yes. It has the same amount of protein and the same amount of isoflavones. You will be able to enjoy the drink and bar. Dearest: You know, for the first time in five years, menopause has a fun side :) Dr. Aaron Tabor: One version of the bar has no chocolate in it and the other has delicious chocolate chips! Of course, with the low calorie load and use of it as a meal replacement, you can use it as part of an effective weight control plan. Bsybee963: Well I am sold!!!! Chocolate lover here!!! LOL Dearest: I can attest to that, Dr. Tabor. I've lost 12 pounds while continuing my Revival :) Thank you. Dugneo, go ahead, please. DUGNEO313: Could you give a complete list of benefits of Revival? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Sure. The research on soy protein has indicated that adding soy to your diet can reduce your weight, promote a healthy heart function, promote a healthy bones system, support health breast and endometrial tissues, and promote a smooth midlife transition. Also for men, soy can promote normal heart and prostate health. Dearest: And let's not forget depression. It's certainly helped mine :) Dearest: GMAMATT, go ahead, please. GMAMATT: Is this shake used as a meal replacement & should you take it if you are taking Evista? Evista is a designer estrogen made of phytoestrogens, therefore I didn't know whether to add more. Do you offer a soy cereal? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Revival is used at the Johns Hopkins Breast Center by a variety of women in all stages of treatment. There is no known medical reason why women on Evista cannot add soy to their diet. Of course, you should ask your doctor about it and have him/her call us (1-800-700-1560) if they would like to learn more about how Revival is being used at other breast centers. Revival is only available in a shake, and soon a bar. No cereal at this time. Dearest: When will the vanilla be available? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The vanilla will be available next week. We have a long waiting list, so if you are interested in getting some of the initial batch, you should call soon. It has a classic vanilla milkshake taste! Dearest: Roses, go ahead with your question for our guests. RosesR2468: Does Revival have any effect on progesterone levels and if not, should a progesterone replacement be added? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Soy estrogens have not been shown to stimulate the endometrial lining. A new study that we have access to (data unpublished) has shown that even high doses of the plant estrogens do not stimulate the endometrial lining to grow (and thus increase risk for endometrial cancer). Soy intake has been shown to be associated with a lowered risk of endometrial disease. I don't know of any medical papers that have shown the effect of soy on progesterone levels. Dearest: Learn more about Revival or to talk to Physicians Laboratories doctors, the number is: 1-800-700-1560. The order line is: 1-800-700-1560. Dearest: GUENWYVAR, go ahead ? GUENWYVAR: Is there any evidence that soy estrogens protect the brain from Alzheimers like ERT does? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The Japanese have slightly lower rates of Alzheimer's disease than Americans. Whether or not this is from the soy has not been determined at this time. We also don't know if soy estrogens protect as well as ERT. Dearest: H3144, go ahead. H3144: Why so much sugar and sodium? (It's awfully sweet). Dr. Aaron Tabor: We have a sugar-free version that will be available in about 4 weeks (chocolate and vanilla). Most of our sweetener is fructose and we have many diabetics on this current version who divide it into three or more portions for the day. You can dilute it down in more fluid to control the sweetness and thickness levels. The sodium is only 12% of your RDA, so if you are using this as a meal, or part of a meal, you will not have any problems with it. H3144: Thank you Dearest: Some women on the Power Surge message boards have asked about hypthyroidism and Revival. Any comments? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The evidence on soy protein and thyroid function is still debated. The Japanese have not had widespread troubles with this as long as a well-balanced diet is maintained. Many women who have thyroid problems (including my grandmother) are already on Revival. You should medically treat any problems if you are having them before starting Revival. Dearest: Thank you. Terri, go ahead :) Terri39302: I had a hysterectomy/oophorectomy early this month. Scarcely a hot flash with Revival! What have been your observations of oophorectomized women on Revival? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The results have been similar to what you report. Terri39302: Glad to hear it! Thanks! Dearest: Doolphinn, go ahead. Doolphinn: You mentioned intestinal bacteria. I take Prilosec, will this affect absorption? Also, how many calories and grams of protein. Dr. Aaron Tabor: Prilosec will not affect absorption. It is a good feature that Revival has only 240 calories per serving (the sugar-free will have less) and it has 20 grams of protein! That's four times more protein than Slim-Fast, so it really satisfies your hunger. Dearest: ARC, go ahead. ARC23: I am 51 and going through meno. I have no bothersome symptoms. I do have a significant bone loss as shown on a dexa scan. My bones are my main concern. I'm walking and taking calcium supplements daily. Can Revival help my bones? Thanks. Dr. Aaron Tabor: An unpublished study has shown that women who ingested 140 milligrams of plant estrogens per day over a 6 month period showed an improvement in lumbar spine density. Women who only ingested 95 milligrams had no significant changes, while the group on 0 milligrams showed a loss. Again, the key to soy is getting enough of it in you on a daily basis. 140 milligrams is about 5-6 servings of traditional soy foods. Of course, you should continue the calcium and exercise. Dearest: How much tofu does one have to eat to get the same amount of soy isoflavones? Dr. Aaron Tabor: For the one variety of tofu available here, you need to eat about a pound a day, or drink about one-half gallon of soy milk on a daily basis. Our higher levels are made possible because we use more of the heart of the soybean which is naturally much higher in plant estrogens that the other portions of the bean. This allows you to get a significant amount of plant estrogens if you are unwilling or unable to prepare and eat 5-8 servings of traditional soy foods. We also think that Revival tastes better (98 out of 100 people in our taste tests prefer Revival over Nestle Quik!). Dearest: Thanks. KNisi, go ahead. Please keep your question brief. Thanks :) KNisi: Currently taking tamoxifen for breast cancer. Doctors want me to take another drug, Lupron, to shut down my ovaries – so I'm not producing estrogen at all. Does that mean I should not take Revival - even if it is natural estrogen? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Soy estrogens are thought to function in a similar manner to Tamoxifen. Soy estrogens attach to the body's own estrogen receptors, but they are not believed to be strong enough to activate those receptors, so the effect is an anti-estrogenic effect. We do have breast cancer patients on Revival for nutritional support who are also on Tamoxifen. Of course, you should speak with your oncologists as they understand your medical history and know what is best for you. They are welcome to call us and learn more. KNisi: Thank you. Dearest: Thank you, Drs. Tabor and Asakura. Dearest: MGoody, go ahead, and please keep your question brief. We're running out of time. Thanks. MGoody1111: I really like Revival but I am concerned about the amount of protein since the National Osteoporosis Society said that a woman should not have more than 35-40 grams of protein per day and there is protein in everything we eat. Dearest: That sounds very low, MGoody. MGoody1111: I called them to make sure. Dearest: Dr. Tabor, your thoughts? Dr. Aaron Tabor: 40 grams is about 80% of the current recommendations for a normal sized woman. Without knowing their logic behind this recommendation, it is hard to comment either way. We believe that if you have a normal digestive system and kidneys that function properly, one would be fine eating a healthy dose of protein on a daily basis. This is all that I can comment on without further information. MGoody1111: They said it takes calcium from the bones if we have too much. Dr. Aaron Tabor: Soy protein has been shown to promote healthy bone function in several good studies now. Maybe their recommendation only applies to other proteins that do not contain the beneficial plant estrogens. Soy protein may improve calcium absorption. MGoody1111: Thank you. Dearest: Graceful, go ahead and please keep your question brief. Thanks. Graceful64: We've all been told, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Is this? Dr. Aaron Tabor: The problem with previous soy products on the market have been terrible taste and a low isoflavone concentration. Our new process has allowed Revival to overcome these limitations. We have hundreds of mainstream doctors now who recommend no other soy protein than Revival because it really works for their patients. Graceful64: Thank You! Can't wait to get some! Dearest: TexasPat, go ahead. TEXASPAT51: Just a comment --Dr. Tabor, I just wanted to thank you for the quick response to my questions week or so ago -- I am the breast cancer survivor on Tamoxifen -- appreciate your responding so quickly!! I have to be careful what I take because of the Tamoxifen!! Dr. Aaron Tabor: We have breast cancer patients on Tamoxifen for nutritional support. Of course, Revival is not designed to take the place of any medication. It is a dietary means of managing and improving your health. TEXASPAT51: I will not be discontinuing Tamoxifen -- just wanted to check on interaction. Dr. Aaron Tabor: Tamoxifen is just as effective in Japan as here in America. This would tend to make us think that no adverse interaction exists. We will be looking specifically at the effects of the plant estrogens on breast cancer cells at Johns Hopkins. We expect positive results because of the previous epidemiologic and human case-control studies. Most soy studies have not excluded women on Tamoxifen from participating, and no adverse effects between the two were reported. TEXASPAT51: Thank you. Dearest: Giggles (what a cute name) go ahead, please :) GigglesUSA: Does this product contain Vitamin K? I can have K, but must adjust my medications. Dr. Aaron Tabor: We do not add vitamin K to Revival. There may be small natural amounts. Dearest: Thank you, doctors... Sally, go ahead, please. Sally1019: Have you considered putting Revival in a capsule or tablet form? Dr. Aaron Tabor: I'm glad that you asked. Revival is not chemically- concentrated so we can't get that high level of plant estrogens in a pill or capsule. All of the medical research has been done on soy protein as an unprocessed food. When you chemically concentrate as in the capsules and pills, the danger is that you lose beneficial compounds that worked in conjunction with the plant estrogens. Long term safety data on isoflavone concentrates does not exist at this time. Sally1019: Thank you. Dearest: Thank you. Last question goes to KNisi. Go ahead, please :) KNisi: Can Revival help the symptoms of chemical/surgical menopause? Dr. Aaron Tabor: We have seen women benefit from soy protein added to their diet after surgical menopause. Dr. Aaron Tabor: Please feel free to email or call at 1-800-700-1560. Dearest: Thank you, Drs. Tabor and Asakura, for taking the time to join us in Power Surge to educate us about the benefits of Soy and especially about Revival. Anyone interested in learning more about REVIVAL can visit Physicians Laboratories Web site or if you have any questions, connect with their physicians on call: 1-800-700-1560. To order Revival: 1-800-700-1560. Dearest: Please join me in thanking Drs. Aaron Tabor and Kenji Asakura for a most enlightening chat tonight in Power Surge! PianoMary: Thank you so much. Revival has allowed me to go off HRT. :) Norlee: Thank you for an informative session!!! Graceful64: Thank you Doctors. MGoody1111: THANK YOU DRS. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. TEXASPAT51: Thank you doctors. Sue: Thank You – Wonderful. Worldviewr: Thanks. GigglesUSA: Thank. Sanko fp1: Thank you, Dr. Tabor. KNisi: Thanks! GigglesUSA: Thank you very much. RGRSMTH: Thanks doctors - great info. GUENWYVAR: THANKS EVERYBODY !! IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE MENOPAUSAL! Dearest: Right on, GUEN :) Kaaitjie: Thank you for the wonderful info. and the good news about soy!!! Sally1019: Thank you so much for helping women "naturally". RCHCTH: Thank you so very much. GigglesUSA: Bravo. applause. Sue: IT WILL BE EVEN BETTER WITH CANDY BARS :O) Dearest: Hahaha, Sue. TEXASPAT51: Clap clap clap. AnnamCara: Thanks, can't wait to get started. Dearest: Great chat, doctors. I'm impressed for online chat neophytes :) Norlee: Ditto! GUENWYVAR: Same here! Dr. Aaron Tabor: Thank you for such a wonderful group. We look forward to hearing from you with additional questions and suggestions. Dearest: Thank you, doctors :) Will you return again? Dr. Aaron Tabor: We would love to. Soy is ongoing education! Dearest: Everyone in Power Surge knows I have never endorsed a product and I endorse Revival. It's been a Godsend to me. And, from what I've heard from everyone else, they've also had wonderful results. Keep up the good work and thank you! Kaaitjie: You've thought of everything - chocolate too yum! Possibly the Nobel Prize for Medicine /Doc. Tabor and Asakura? :) GUENWYVAR: CHOCOHOLICS UNANIMOUS! Norlee: (Sue, I expect a sample Tuesday! LOL!) Sue: LOL Norlee...I will have to have it sent FEDX Dr. Aaron Tabor: And you will love the Revival Cool Krispee bar even more!!! Dearest: I look forward to trying it, Dr. T :) Can you put me on the list, please? Dr. Aaron Tabor: What flavors would you like to see in the drink... and the bar? Anyone? Kaaitjie: Pineapple Coconut!!!!!! Sue: I like the idea of vanilla...add your own flavors. Sally1019: Vanilla & Chocolate if fine with me. TEXASPAT51: Me too Sue. Dearest: I'm very happy with chocolate :) Would like to try the vanilla and sugar free. AnnamCara: Good one kaaitjie, pina colada. PianoMary: I'd like sugar free, too. Dearest: That is a good idea, Sue. Dr. Aaron Tabor: Freeze a banana tonight (peel it first) and then blend with half water, half milk, and Revival! TEXASPAT51: Sounds delicious Dr. Tabor Norlee: Do it your self is more adaptable... Sue: The bar I would like to see in oatmeal. Kaaitjie: A little Tequila tooo??? Sally1019: Does sugar free have aspartame in it? Dr. Aaron Tabor: No aspartame or saccharin in the sugar-free. A new sweetener will be used that has no problems – cancer risk or neurological associated with it. It is called sucralose – (Splenda). It tastes like sugar, but has no calories. Sally1019: Glad to hear that! Dearest: That's good to hear. I worry about things like Aspertame. RCHCTH: Dr. Tabor, any after taste? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Not with sucralose. TEXASPAT51: But not about chocolate, huh Dearest? Dearest: What's that, TexasPat? TEXASPAT51: You worry about artificial sweetners but not about chocolate, LOL? Norlee: (Dearest likes Chocolate) (giggle) GUENWYVAR: Haven't you heard???? Chocolate is ONE OF THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS!! Dearest: Not if that's the only carbs I have all day, Pat :) I worry more the damage done by too many carbohydrates (i.e., sugars, breads, pasta, etc.) TEXASPAT51: I agree and know that it is definitely one of the major food groups!!!!!!!!!! LOL Dearest: Hahaha! You betcha! Sue: Remember...chocolate is a bean and thus can be considered a veggie. TEXASPAT51: Yeah right, Sue, LOL Dearest: That's great. Sally1019: I like your thinking Sue. Norlee: A legume! PianoMary: So we'll all become vegetarians? GUENWYVAR: I just hope soy protects help the brain. I got 3 Alzheimers relatives & am considering Estrace. But I fear weight gain, bloat, & breast cancer. PianoMary: GUEN - I just used Revival to get off Estrace. GUENWYVAR: PianoMary, you have estrace problems? I don't want Premarin...folks take it & get HORSES BEHINDS!!! One pal gained 30 lbs on it. Dearest: GUEN, don't get me started on Premarin. LOL PianoMary: I just finished the estrace - I'm only taking revival now. Dr. Aaron Tabor: Revival will also be available in the raw soy protein form in the near future. It will have nothing added. We have not had any problems with the current version except for people who seem to have soy allergies. Dearest: It won't contain any sugar, Dr. Tabor? Dr. Aaron Tabor: Just the protein itself. Dearest: Well, everyone... another Power Surge guest chat has come to a close. Thank you, again, Drs. Tabor and Asakura!!!! PianoMary: Thank you so much. Revival has allowed me to go off HRT. :) Dearest: Mary, that's great - a smooth transition? PianoMary: Yes.. no problems at all :) Norlee: Thank you for an informative session!!! Graceful64: Thank you Doctors. MGoody1111: THANK YOU DRS. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. TEXASPAT51: Thank you doctors. Sue: Thank You – Wonderful. Worldviewr: Thanks. GigglesUSA: Thank.
