Have you been watching “You Are What You Eat” with Dr Gillian McKeith on channel 4 at 8.30 on Tuesday evening? Gillian McKeith is a clinical nutritionist and director of the renowned McKeith Clinic in London. There is currently a two-year waiting list for a consultation with Dr McKeith because of her extraordinary success in helping people to get well.

Dr Gillian McKeith has published a book called “Living Food for Health” and I highly recommend that you consider buying this book. It contains information on all food groups and a list of the top 100 right foods. There is information on certain bad foods that not only do you no good, but could do you harm. These nasty foods should be avoided, cut out, or at least cut down. These bad foods are: coffee, alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, sugar, fatty foods, refined and processed foods (such as white refined bread, flour, pasta etc.)

 

We also need to be aware that cooking destroys all the enzymes in our food and degrades most of the vitamin activity. 50% of B vitamins and up to 80% of Vitamin C is lost from cooking our food. One of the world’s leading researchers on the topic, Dr Viktoras Kulvinskas, wrote in his “Survival Report into The 21st Century” that cooking will cause an average overall nutrient loss of up to 85%. So, the message is that when you eat cooked foods also have some raw or low-heated food at the same meal. Don’t eat an all-raw diet, as it simply does not work for the majority of the population in modern Western society.

 

If you can’t even contemplate eating any raw foods then boost your nutrient intake with a Multi Vitamin and Mineral. Nature’s Sunshine has an excellent Multi vitamin and Mineral called Mega Chel, which also contains specific nutrients to boost the circulation. A general Multi Vitamin and Mineral is Super Supplemental.

 

 If you are having problems digesting your foods you might well be lacking in the all-important enzymes.  Nature’s Sunshine has two enzyme products called Food Enzymes and Proactazyme. Weak digestive systems can cause bloating, wind, flatulence, diarrhoea or constipation. An inability to digest milk and dairy foods can also cause PMT, headaches, irritability, confusion, cramps, allergies, lethargy, sluggish organs and certain cancers (especially breast cancer).

 

 

Constipation

There is no need to suffer from this uncomfortable condition. Just take one or two capsules of Nature’s Sunshine’s LBS II every morning and your constipation will very quickly disappear.

 

Flatulence (gas)

Don’t let this condition get you down. Nature’s Sunshine AG-X and Food Enzymes will help to dispel the gas. Also avoid eating grains with dairy or meat and avoid eating fruit with vegetables.

Benefits of Colloidal Silver

There have been several occasions recently when people have told me how Colloidal Silver has helped certain conditions.

 

Colloidal Silver has been used in medicine for centuries. Today, silver is used to treat burns, inflammation (ears, eyes, nose, throat), infections and microbial infestations normally requiring the use of antibiotics.

 

Colloidal Silver is odourless and virtually tasteless and will not cause stinging when applied to open wounds. Colloidal Silver is safe for use both internally and externally and has no known interactions with other medications.

 

Acne, burns, eczema, skin ulcers and wounds-colloidal silver can be put into a spray bottle and applied directly onto the skin. Many skin problems disappear within days of applying Colloidal Silver.

 

Stomach ache – my niece recently complained of stomach ache and I gave her ½ teaspoon of colloidal silver. Within 15 minutes the ache had disappeared.

 

Itching, inflamed eyes – my friend was suffering from itching, sore eyes and she put one drop of colloidal silver into each eye before going to bed. Within two days the itching had stopped and the inflammation had disappeared.

 

Sore throats – at the first sign of a sore throat, put a teaspoon of colloidal silver in a small glass of water and gargle then swallow the liquid. Your sore throat will ease very quickly.

 

Cuts and wounds –use colloidal silver to clean the wound and kill any bacteria.

 

Colloidal silver kills bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses and can destroy over 650 disease-causing organisms including Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. It destroys the fungi responsible for candida yeast infections and thrush. It is also effective against acne, herpes, shingles, virus warts etc.

Keep a bottle at home as you never know when it will be needed.

 

Impetigo

Children often pick up this contagious infection at school. The first step is to apply Tea Tree Oil as an antiseptic followed by Goldenseal/Echinacea Liquid Extract.   BP-X will help to clear the infection internally. If the child is too young to take a capsule, open the capsule and make a tea of the contents and mix with juice.

 

 

 

Stop the Bleeding

Last week I cut my finger very badly while preparing vegetables for dinner. I immediately put my finger under running water and called for help! The bleeding would not stop and then I remembered about capsicum. My sister was staying with me so I asked her to find the bottle of Capsicum capsules in my Herbal Medicine cabinet. She opened the capsule and poured the contents over the cut. The bleeding stopped within seconds. I put a plaster over the cut and the capsicum and the cut healed very quickly.

 

 

Warts

These are often very difficult to get rid of but anything is possible. Take Dandelion & Purslane Combination (VS-C Liquid) Extract for 3 months together with Pau D’Arco Liquid Extract. Use Tea Tree Oil or Colloidal Silver externally and the warts will disappear.

 

 

Hair Loss

Many women suffer from hair loss at the menopause.

Take HSN-W (hair,skin,nails)

Nutri-Calm to reduce stress.

SynerProTein to thicken the hair and balance the hormones.
