So, have you over
indulged during the summer? Too much barbecued food and too many ice creams
seem to pile on the weight. Most people put on half a stone during their
summer holiday. This could be the lack of exercise while lounging on the
beach or indulging in just one too many exotic summer cocktails. If you are feeling overweight and sluggish then it’s
probably a good time for a detox to clear out your system. Most people are bombarded with
toxins from a cocktail of pesticides in food, food additives, preservatives,
air pollution, heavy metals, drugs (including drugs given to livestock) and
chemicals in household products. Some skincare and make-up products are also
loaded with chemicals. Toxins can re-circulate in the body if the eliminatory
functions are not working effectively and fat-soluble toxins can be stored in
fatty parts of the body for many years. A toxic environment in the body can
result in a lowered immune system, can cause excess free radical damage and
can provide an ideal habitat for bad bacteria, parasites and ultimately
disease. Health
specialists across the world recommend a 10-day course of six cleansing
herbal products that collectively help clear toxins from the bowel, improve elimination,
expel parasites, detoxify the kidneys and liver, purify the blood and cleanse
the whole body of cellular waste. Nature’s Sunshine’s top quality detox and cleanse product
does just that. It has now been repackaged in a smart new box called the new ‘Healthy
Starter Pack’ and it is a very effective 10-day detox programme. This programme consists of
Burdock, Black Walnut, Psyllium Hulls, Cascara & Buckthorn Combination,
Gentian & Cascara Combination, and Peony & Cinnamon Combination.
Comes with a FREE handy capsule holder. Take one capsule of each of these
products with a glass of water, followed by another glass of water
approximately 15 minutes before meals, up to three times a day. It is recommended that
you take the ‘Healthy Starter Pack’ three times during the year. The
best times are when the seasons are changing so October is an excellent time
for a detox. You can
detox along with a normal healthy diet but if you cut down on red
meat, bread and pasta while doing the detox, you’ll definitely lose some
weight. This
detox programme is not recommended for children, women who are pregnant or
nursing, and people who are experiencing ill health - Stock No: 5882. Here
are two testimonials relating to the 10-day detox programme, which you may
find interesting. Dani Hicks (therapist): - “I have suffered with
constipation from childhood and have tried all sorts of therapies, which only
made temporary improvements. I was experiencing serious muscular and
abdominal aches and pains every morning and I had persistent face acne (at
the age 37!). As I have a very busy and pretty stressful lifestyle, I was
often agitated and irritable. I was introduced to Nature’s Sunshine’s 10-day
Detox programme and I decided to give it a go. Initially I had a lot of
abdominal cramps but after 3-5 days I started feeling better. My energy
levels and clarity of thought improved so much that I continued with the PARA
CLEANSE (eliminates parasites) programme too. This has transformed
my life and now I do the 10-day detox every 3 months, followed by BIFIDOPHILUS
(good bacteria) for a month. Now I have regular bowel movements every
day, which is a miracle! My skin is clear and my eyes shine. My muscular
aches and abdominal pains have disappeared. I feel calmer and more in control
of my life”. Trish
Lee: - I received the following testimonial from a new customer who answered
an advert in my local newspaper promoting the 10-day detox – “I finished the detox yesterday. It
took me a while to get used to swallowing so many capsules at once but after
a while, it just became routine. The first few days I didn't feel too good
and had quite a lot of headaches and stomach cramps. After that I felt fine.
However, overall I felt good but the thing I was most pleased about was my
skin. I have suffered with dry skin and eczema for a long time but discovered that through doing the
detox, my skin is wonderful - the best it has been in ages! The usual dry
patches have completely disappeared, I hope for good!” |

About Irritable Bowel
Syndrome
In the
UK around 8 million people have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). On average,
each of them has 17 days off work each year, at an annual cost to the country
of £500 million. IBS ranks close to the common cold as a leading cause for
absenteeism from work as a result of illness. Approximately
50% of those with IBS develop symptoms before the age of 35; around 40% of
people with the condition are aged 35 to 50 years. Whilst there is a tendency
for IBS symptoms to occur less often as you get older, some people do however
experience them for the first time later on in life. Symptoms
of IBS are almost equally common in men and women although virtually twice
the number of women will actually consult their doctor compared to men.
Ninety percent of people with IBS also have indigestion. Evidence suggests
that half of the people seen in clinics with IBS also have symptoms of
depression or anxiety. There are some sex differences; straining and passage
of hard stools may occur more commonly in women, whereas men are more likely
to have frequent loose stools. During menstruation IBS symptoms of abdominal
pain, diarrhoea and gas tend to get worse in 50% of women. The types of
symptoms people experience vary but there are three main types: Painful constipation,
diarrhoea or alternating constipation & diarrhoea and abdominal pain. A Natural Approach to
IBS
The following three products should be taken together for
a minimum of three months or longer if required: 1)
Intestinal
Soothe & Build is a herbal
combination designed to soothe inflammatory gastrointestinal tract
conditions. It contains cooling mucilaginous herbs which reduce inflammation
of sensitive mucous membranes, enhance the elimination of irritants and
toxins, shrink swelling and tone loose tissues and relax nervousness which
can lead to spastic conditions in the bowel. Stock No: 1105. 2)
Bowel
Build stimulates the
peristaltic action in the colon, enhances digestion and absorption of
nutrients and improves the transit time & elimination of waste material.
This powerful formula helps loosen and cleanse old faecal matter on the
intestinal walls and then absorbs these toxins to be eliminated. Stock No:
2857. 3)
Either one of the fibre
products, TNT or LoClo, can be taken. Fibre provides dietary bulk for preventing
constipation and relieving diarrhoea, absorbs toxins and unabsorbed fats in
the bowel and eliminates them. Stock
Nos: 4300 and 1346. Testimonials
“I experienced days of constipation followed by loose
bowel movements and a bloated stomach. The IBS programme started to work
quickly and has improved my lifestyle”. – Lucy Stewart, Warwick “When I took Intestinal Soothe & Build I noticed an
improvement in a couple of days. I was advised to take Nutri Calm to help
combat the negative side-effects of stress which undoubtedly have been
aggravating my IBS” – Eileen Thatcher, Bristol |
Nutri Calm is
Back!
This is
the key system product designed to support the nervous system. During
times of stress, the nervous system uses extra B-complex vitamins and vitamin
C. Nutri Calm provides generous amounts of these nutrients along with
Chamomile herb and together this combination quickly and effectively helps
relieve the body from stress, anxiety and tension. Stock
No: 4798 - 90
tablets (30-day supply). It is important to reduce stress
as high levels of stress cause many illnesses. Activities that help ease
stress include yoga and deep breathing. Here are another two testimonials:
Jean
Burrows: -“This testimonial concerns a lady with Fibromyalgia
Syndrome. Her condition was so bad that she had to climb her stairs on her
hands and knees, and as part of her problem also suffered from deep
depression. Since taking Fibralgia and Nutri Calm the quality
of her life has changed dramatically and has enabled her to attend and participate
fully in ‘Keep Fit’ classes. She started the programme with the 10-day
detox (which she thinks is fantastic) and now has one every 6 months. She
now places a regular order for Fibralgia and Nutri Calm”. Mark Smith: - “I was
diagnosed with adrenal exhaustion by my chiropractor after literally running
myself into the ground with a full time job, a part time job and coping with
two typical teenage children. A quick look in the product guide flow charts
suggested Nervous Fatigue Formula (now called Biota & Schizandra
Combination). What a difference this product has made! I did not consider
myself to be stressed before but I noticed that I was much calmer under
pressure and did not feel so tired after a long day. I was able to sleep
through the night and did not have the dreams that are typical of those
suffering from adrenal deficiency. The great thing was that the formula
worked really quickly, literally within a couple of days. Highly recommended
for those who have the symptoms of adrenal exhaustion, go and check out the
product guide flow charts!” - Stock No: 1884. Brand New Product Guide only ₤1.50 The brand
