Many thanks for your letters and testimonials! Here are a just a few of them, but please keep sending them to me together with any questions or comments you may have.

For many years I have suffered from circulation problems, particularly with one hand which frequently goes numb and at night goes completely dead. This had been getting worse and it was quite alarming to wake up with no feeling in your hand. Since coming in contact with nature’s Sunshine Products, I have been using Mega-Chel (their Key Product for circulation) and found it to be really effective. The numbness has disappeared and only appears when I forget to take Mega-Chel. The product contains 31 ingredients and because of its combination it’s cheaper than buying a whole host of individual multi-vitamins. I now make sure I have a constant supply in the house so I don’t miss out on its wonderful benefits. My husband also takes Mega-Chel to control his cholesterol problem as it helps to remove fatty deposits from the arterial walls.

1½ years ago I had very painful and stiff joints. My doctor took blood tests and found I have rheumatoid arthritis present. I am also going through the menopause. I decided to contact Peter Klein, the herbalist for Nature’s Sunshine, and he advised me to take BP-X, a very effective blood cleanser. Since this time I have been taking BP-X regularly and the stiffness and pain have almost completely disappeared! Thank you Nature’s Sunshine.

For many years I have had trouble with irritable bowel syndrome and my digestive system. Judith suggested I try Aloe Vera Juice. After just a few weeks I found a great improvement and I will most certainly continue taking it.

Editor’s Note: Like Anne, many people find that the soothing Aloe Vera Juice helps them with their irritable bowel syndrome, especially when combined with digestive problems. Other people have found that Slippery Elm has worked for them together with Bowel Build.

Why Supplementation? …

Why Nature’s Sunshine?

A lot of people I speak to ask the same question, ‘Why do I need to take supplements?’  An article from a publication entitled ‘What Doctors Don’t Tell You’ answers this question better than I can.

‘Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables has traditionally been thought of as the best way to get all the nutrients you need. Unfortunately, most of us only eat a limited selection,  and the majority of today’s fruit, vegetables and grains are grown in depleted soil and stored for long periods of time before being sold. One important study which documented the historical decline in the mineral contents of fruits and vegetables between 1930 and 1987 came up with some startling conclusions (Br Food J, 1997; 99:207-11). Modern potatoes for instance were shown to have 40% less potassium than those grown in 1930. Carrots of today contain nearly half the calcium they once did and 75% less magnesium. Tomatoes contain 90% less copper. Among the fruits, apples contain 2/3 less iron that they once did, as do oranges and apricots. Some 20 common fruits and vegetables showed that foods were less nutritious than they once were. These figures do not alter the fact that fruit and vegetables are still important sources of nutrients!’ This article proves to me that we need to supplement our diet with good quality vitamins and minerals.

Why Nature’s Sunshine Products?

The vitamin and mineral supplements from Nature’s Sunshine are not like the majority of supplements you can buy at Health Food shops or supermarkets etc. Each combination comes in a natural herb base consisting of dehydrated broccoli, carrot, red beet, rosemary, tomato, turmeric, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, grapefruit and lemon bioflavonoids, and hesperidin that allows easier assimilation into the body.

Quality – Second to None

No herbal product manufacturer can compare to Nature’s Sunshine when it comes to quality. To begin with, the company buys its raw material from the most reputable suppliers in the world. So do many other manufacturers, but the difference is this: Nature’s Sunshine has the most extensive base of quality assurance equipment and procedures in the industry – safeguards that allow them to meticulously test and analyse each in-coming shipment of materials. E-Coli, Salmonella and Radiation are just three of the 150 tests carried out each and every time. Not only does it take constant vigilance and strict adherence to testing procedures but it requires a battery of costly, highly-technical equipment. Nature’s Sunshine ensures that every product leaving its facility reflects its 100% pure philosophy. No-one requires Nature’s Sunshine to be so strict, to set such uncompromisingly high standards – no-one but Nature’s Sunshine!

As a precaution pregnant or lactating women should consult their health care provider before taking any herbal or nutritional supplements.
