Latest Product Announcements

Couple of weeks ago, got a call from a one loft race with the usual YB type sickness symptoms: holding water in the crop, watery droppings, not eating, etc. When a bird dies it usually does so within two days of showing signs. He had tried many medications and antibiotics but as soon as he stopped the meds, the birds reverted back to the sickness again.

Well, he started them on our Vira Max product and not one death since. THe one bird that he was sure would be died the next day (after strarting on Vira Max), perked up and is now recovered. The whole loft has returned to health. This is another positive results for Vira Max. I wish I could say this is always the result, but it is not. However, in many cases, Vira Max seems to bring about positive results even when the more traditional methods (antibiotics and medications) fail to clear up the problem.

Also, we have a new product (yet unnamed) that brings about good results in the birds. Be sure to ask about it when you call in an order for any of our products.

I wanted to comment on an issue that has come up over and over again concerning the use of Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper. The schedule that I recommend is tailored to the needs of a racing pigeon fancier that is competing in a race series. It assumes that the fancier is using both Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper during the week.

However, I find that not all customers are using both products. Some customers prefer to use Show Stopper and some prefer to use Max Immune Plus. I do not prefer you use one or the other exclusively, but if you do, please make sure that you are giving three (3) treatments a week of whichever product you are using.

There is a reason why the use of both product during the week is the best protection, it has to do with the fact that Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper each have ingredients unique to that product that are not available in the other product. Now it is true that both products share many ingredients but it is also true that each product contains ingredients unique to that product. This segregation of ingredients was necessary in order to place ingredients that are NOT water soluble in one product (Show Stopper) and to leave the other product as water soluble.

The preferred method and the method that provides the most protection for your birds is to use both products each week. However, if you prefer to use one or the other then make sure that you are giving that product three times a week at its regular dosage.

For those of you who are not racing, you can reduce your usage to two time a week from three. When birds are racing they share the crate with birds of unknown health and as such they need that extra protection during the race season that is not necessary during the off season.

As I get re-orders on our new Muscle Max product, more and more I am hearing about how fast the birds recover from the races when you put Muscle Max in the water for the returning birds. The difference is very noticable. I developed Muscle Max to quickly recuperate the birds after a race and to rebuild the muscles 12 - 24 hours sooner than birds that do not recieve Muscle Max.

Just last Saturday, another one of my Muscle Max customers told me he is doing very well in the early races so far this year. On Saturday, he lost the 250 Mile race by one second, but did take 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th. Most of his team clocked in the top 10% and 90% of his race birds were in the top 20% of the race sheet against about 750 birds shipped. This fancier, uses my products exclusively (Max Immune Plus, Show Stopper, Super Creatine Plus and Muscle Max). He does not medicate or use antibiotics except for a single Ivomec treatment for worms during the race season.

This fancier, uses Muscle Max and Super Creatine Plus on the day of basketing. However, he removes the supplemented water and replaces it with fresh water when he is giving the birds their last meal, about three hours before basketing. He also puts Muscle Max in the water for the returning race birds on race day. This is what is working for him.

I am reposting December 22, 2006 Annoucement, because is shouldn't get buried down the list. Bringing it to the top of the posts, will allow fanciers to re-read this important information about some of the ingredients we use in our products.

I have recently added four new ingredients to my products. These ingredients are now included in most of my health products at no extra charge.

Their major benifits are:

Better absorption of Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus
Better absorption of Vitamin D3
Improved Osmoregularity (controls cell hydration or water content of the cells)
Increased Thermoregulation: Allows a bird to fly longer without overheating or dehydrating
Increases the surface area of the digestive tract by as much as 5% - 9% allowing for better utilization of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc
Protect the intestinal lining from damage associated with pathogenic infection which otherwise might cause lessions and scaring of the digestive tract
Includes precursors (primary building blocks) needed for natural Carnitine, Adenosine, and S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe) production.
Increase the effectiveness of folic acid, and vitamin B12 in the bird's system

In addition to the above mentioned ingredients, we have added an additional source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc,, to the Max Immune Plus product to supplement the original supply of vitamins and minerals already present in the product. What is exciting about this new souce of addtional nurticuticals is that they are micro-encapsulated which protects them from degredation and breakdown until they are absorbed into the bird's system. This means, that the ingredients are protected from breakdown until delivered to the cells which increases the availability of these ingredients to the birds.

Below is a list of micro-encapsulated nutricuticals we have added to the Max Immune Plus product:

alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, ATP, Boron, Calcium, Choline Bitartrate, Chromium, citrulline, Copper, cysteine, fatty acids, Folic Acid, glutamin, glycine, Glycocymine, histidine Inositol, Iodine, Iron, isoleucine, l-glutamine acid, leucine, long chain glucose polymers, lysine, Magnesium, Manganese, medium chain triglycerides, methionine, Molybdenum, n-Aceyle-Glucosamine, Omega 3, ornithine, Para-Amino Acid, phenylanine, Phosphorus, Potassium, proline, red apple, Selenium, serine, Sodium, sweet potato, taurine, threonine, TMG, tyrosine, valine, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin H (biotin), White Willow Bark Extract, and Zinc.

One of my customers re-ordered this week and they told me that they are very pleased with the health of their birds since putting them on Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper.

He went on to say that he uses my products like I suggest (Max Immune Plus one day a week in the water and Show Stopper two meals a week on the feed) but that he also sprinkles a tiny amount of Max Immune Plus in the water every day it has nothing else in it. He says the birds are the healthiest he has ever seen, better by far than when he was using medications and antibiotics.

I think he is right, recent studies I have been doing on probiotics suggest that a little every day is very helpful and even though my Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper products contain probiotics and prebiotics (this accounts for use three days a week during the race season), giving Max Immune Plus in the water more than one day just might be a very good idea. It certainly is cost effective over the rotation of medications and antibiotics that most fanciers give their birds with lesser results.... Just my opinon.

One of my east coast customers reordered today and while on the phone reported how well he had been doing in the YB season, so far. The best returns he has ever had. He ordered some Show Stopper and some Muscle Max.

At the same time, he reported just how "hot" the Muscle Max" product has been working for him. He said that the birds bounce back from even the hardest of races in just hours, when on the product. He did an experiment where some birds got Muscle Max after the race and other did not. He said the difference was easily seen in just a few hours.

Not only that, but Muscle Max is used on the day prior to shipping (or the morning of shipping). This is a Great product that is winning converts to our performance products line of products

We received news from one of the top fanciers in the USA, who may well have the 1st American Ace Pigeon in his category, that he had excellent results using Muscle Max in the Old Bird 2007 race season. So much so, that he has ordered additional bottles to keep on hand for the Young bird season as he knows this item is sometimes out of stock and he cannot be without it!

I have been very busy lately and have not been keeping this page up with tips from customers, however today I received feedback on a recommendation I made to a fancier just yesterday and thought I would share the results with you.

This friend has a bird with one of the top racing records in the country. Several weeks ago, this race bird was lost on a tough 500 mile race that saw only 12% of the birds home on the second day. Two days ago, this bird finally made ti home in terrible condition. When found in the loft, it could hardly get off the floor and this fancier feared that it might take weeks if not months to restore this bird to health. That is, if the bird did not die in the next few days.

Yesterday, we talked on the phone, and he mentioned the condition of the bird and that he feared it might need a long recovery period. I remembered what another customer had told me several months ago about using Show Stopper to recouperate a broken down bird. I suggested that my friend mix some Show Stopper in a little water and use an eye dropper to administer this slurry to the bird.

This morning, we talked again and the bird has made so much progress in the last 18 hours that it voluntarily took flight with the other birds for 5 minutes today. This fancier was amazed at the recovery he had seen in the bird!

I am not exactly sure how and why this happens, but I thought you might like to store these observations in the back of your mind for future reference should you find yourselves in a similar situation.

Of course, if you have my American "No Light" Green Pills you can accomplish the same results by dropping one or two of these pills down the bird's throat.

One of my customers called to reorder today and this is what they had to say about how their birds look on my products: The feathers are slilky, the feather pigmentation is rich, the eyes are dry, the wattles are snowy, the birds have a glow and the bounce of health. Sometimes, as I look at the birds and ask myself - are these birds real?

Thanks Tony, you echoed what others have commented on, the appearance of health that comes from weekly use of our all natural products.

I have recently added four new ingredients to my products. These ingredients are now included in most of my health products at no extra charge.

Their major benifits are:

Below is a list of micro-encapsulated nutricuticals we have added to the Max Immune Plus product:

Please remember, that our Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper products are not intended to be your sole source of vitamins and minerals. If you are using these two products, you can reduce any additional vitamins and mineral sources to one half the recommended dosage - once a week.

Received a call from a fancier back in November that had fallen on his face in a big money race that week. He was barely on the race sheet and he called around for advise from his friends. One friend, told him to call RacingPigeoMall. He did call and he ordered Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper.

I was pleased to see the other day that three weeks later when they had the second big money race of the series, that he was all over the race sheet and clocked more birds in the money than anyone. His first bird was in the top three and the rest of his birds were.... Well, he did very well. He did say that he treated for respiratory and said this helped his success. However, he said he did not want me to reveal his name because he does not want the competition to know he is using my products.

I understand his feelings on this matter. It has been my policy to not disclose names or other information that might reveal who my clients are (unless the client ask me to reveal this info), in order to protect their secrets from their local competition. Besides, my clients are more than willing to refer new customers (their friends) to me that are not their competition. This is the major way my business has grown these past two years, word of mouth. The best way to grow a business.

I recieved an email the other day that was so encouraging that I wanted to print it here on the website. I have removed flyer's names and the name of the competitor's products.

Here is what he said:

As you recall we were having Candida Yeast problems with our Young Birds in the middle of the season this year, so I treated them for the yeast problem, then put them exclusively on "Show Stopper" and "Max Immune Plus", instead of the [name removed] products we had been using. The birds really improved the last few races and looked better and better each week. The Last Race of the season was 306 Miles with a two-day ship. We shipped 30 birds and placed 1st through 22nd way out front of everyone else despite the two day ship, so the birds really peaked again at the end of the season.

I also got a call from [name removed] in Florida, He is a new flyer. I told him a few weeks ago to put his birds on the 'Show Stopper" and "Max Immune Plus". He said he ordered it and has been using it for 2 weeks now. This weekend was the big Auction Race. He had been training for this race and it was the only race he flew in YB's. He placed 1st and 2nd.

Reflecting back on the AU Convention Race, I realized that the fanciers who were using our Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper products, were top performers in the race. No, they did not win the race, but of the top four lofts placing birds in the money, two of those four were using my products (instead of medications), and I only had four handlers total using my products in this race.

There were 47 lofts sending 1103 birds to this race, there were 230 prizes paid out which means that 20.85% of the birds won a prize.

The top four percentage prize winners were:

11 out of 25 (44%) Used my products
7 out of 17 (41.18%)
14 out of 35 (40%)
9 out of 26 (34.62%) Used my products

I think what this shows, is that there is no "Magic Bullet" that puts your birds in the front, but Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper, puts all your birds in the best condition to win! You just do not get that many birds in the money if the whole team is not healthy and ready to outclass the competition.

Update to the September 23rd Announcement (see below): Received a call today that the birds are fully recovered and look fantastic! The fancier cured the problem by giving 2 teaspoons of Max Immune Plus per gallon (double dose) and then on althernate days giving Show Stopper at one teaspoon per feeding/ per 50 birds, for two feedings a day. So, he was using Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper on alternate days (at double doses) for five days and now all the birds are in super health.

Considering the extreme distress these birds were in, often leading to death, I am amazed at how quickly Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper, corrected the situation and brought health back to the loft. Fanciers are constantly demonstrating the usefulness of these two "all natural" products in dealing with the "day to day" and the "extreme" health challenges our birds face throughout the year.

A fancier (name withheld) called the other day with a health problem. His breeders were sick, they start out by throwing up their feed, then they stop eating, then their crops started holding water, and they were tilting their heads all the way back until the head touched the bird's back (as if trying to get the water to go down), and finally, birds were dying after about 5 days. I told him to put the birds on Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper, so that every day they received either Max Immune Plus or Show Stopper. Several days after starting the birds on this regime, he called again and told me that the problem was disappearing from the breeding section, birds were not tilting their heads back anymore, there was no water in the crops, the birds were now able to eat and no more deaths.

I am always amazed at the effectiveness of Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper. Fanciers are constantly demonstrating the usefulness of these two "all natural" products in dealing with the "day to day" and "extreme" health challenges our birds face throughout the year.

Wallace Soriano called today, he wanted to re-order more Show Stopper. At the same time he gave me a tip that I had heard several customers tell me time and again over the past few months. It seems that Show Stopper really helps the moult along. The birds seem to get through the moult sooner and the feathering is great.

I received a call from Nick Petrole today, he wanted to re-order the Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper products. At the same time he gave me this tip. Seems that Nick, has been giving Show Stopper in the drinking water when the birds come home from hot and hard races. He starts by stiring the Show Stopper in hot water and then adds additional water after the Show Stopper is well mixed. He gives this in the water for several days upon return from the races. Nick, believes that the droppings really firm up nice and the birds seem to recover quicker from these tough races. Thanks for the tip Nick!

I have added several new ingredients since the last time Nick ordered Show Stopper, including a new concentrated multi-mineral / Amino source, so there might be slightly more sediment in the water than what Nick has experienced in the past. Never the less, You might find this tip useful so feel free to try it out. You might like the results!

Question: Why I don't hype referrals? Answer: My customers don't want me to!

Joe Aguiar, called today (August 29th) and asked why I do not list testimonials from those successful fanciers using my products. Joe was particularly curious as he had sent me a wonderful testimonial earlier in the year (see bottom of this page) and had even mentioned my products in an article written about him in the Racing Pigeon Digest, this past spring.

I told Joe, what I am telling you now: In 2005 and 2006, I adverised twice a year in a pigeon publication. Almost all my customers have come from referrals or from people visiting my website. There are many fanciers using my products and to tell the truth, they just do not want me to share their success with the rest of the sport. That's right, my customers ask me not to tell how well they are doing on my products. Don't get me wrong, they refer their friends that are not in their club, but they do not want to give up the edge of letting their competition know just what health products they are using.

It makes me kind of proud to know that my customers want to keep my products a secret from their competition. That is about the nicest compliment I could receive. And, I like having them call me when they reorder and tell me how well they are doing. Some of these guys were never near the top of the race sheet until they started my simple, "all natural" health schedule and my #1 performance product.

I changed my instructions for using Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper recently. When I made up the original instructions, I did so assuming that fanciers would be using both Max Immune Plus and Show Stopper together. Sometimes, that is not the case. Sometimes, a fancier will be using just one or the other of these two immunity building products. If you are using just one of these two products and not both together (both together is preferable as you get a broad spectrum of protection not available in either one individually), then you should be using the one product three times a week during the race season.

If you were using both products, you would be using them together three times a week, so if using either one seperately, you should also give that one product, three times a week.

For example, my usual schedule for using these products together during the race season is to use Max Immune Plus on the day following the race and Show Stopper on the 3rd and 5th day following the race. In this way you spread the protection throughout the week leading up to the next race. However, if you were using just Max Immune Plus or Show Stopper seperately, then follow the same schedule: 1st, 3rd and 5th day following the race with just the one product. This will give the best results.

Having said the above, I will give you one tip that Joe shared with me today: He gives the Max Immune Plus three days straight following the race and if you look at the race results, you will see he is flying at the top (1st Champion loft, 3rd Average Speed and 3rd and 4th Champion birds).

By the way, just to please Joe, here is his testimony: "I have been using John's products for 3 years and have often placed many birds at the top of the combine race sheet including the first 4 places and first 5 places in the combine and Southern New England Combine Champion Loft. Three days a week on John's products and the droppings are perfect. Simplest health system I have ever found!"
