I hope you had an excellent Christmas break and I
wish you good health and lots of happiness in 2004. So how are you feeling? Did you over indulge just a
little too much? Too many chocolates and mince pies? If you’re thinking
you’ve Definitely Eaten Too-much Over Xmas then I have just one word for you – DETOX.
This is the perfect time to start a detox
programme, as it will help to shift a few pounds and give you more energy.
I’ve already started taking the Chinese Tiao He Cleanse, which is a
10-day detox programme to help eliminate built-up waste in the intestinal
system. Did you watch the two-part documentary on BBC
before Christmas about human parasites called “Body Snatchers”?
Here are some of the facts revealed in the programme: ·
Each
person has more than 1 million parasites on and in their body from face mites
to teeth amoebas to worms. ·
It is
estimated that 75 out of every 100 people in the world have a type of worm in
their intestinal system. ·
1 in 1,000
cattle have tapeworm cysts; so cook your meat properly to kill the tapeworm
cysts! ·
The
programme told of a biologist who ingested a human beef tape worm cyst from a
piece of meat. In just 11 weeks the tiny cyst had grown into a tapeworm,
which was 3 metres in length. ·
There are
up to 300 species of worm that can happily reside in the human intestinal
system. ·
Whilst
parasites can reside in any part of the human body, a favourite destination
for worms is your intestinal system. An accumulation of years of un-eliminated
faecal matter will offer an ideal breeding ground for parasites. ·
Many
people are becoming aware that their body is host to many different types of
parasites, eradicating the myth that you need to go abroad to third world
countries to pick them up. ·
Parasites
can enter the body by touching soil and eating contaminated raw or
undercooked food; drinking contaminated water; pinworm eggs are so light that
they float in the air and can be inhaled. ·
Many
Western doctors, due to limited training in diagnosing and treating parasitic
infections, often misdiagnose the myriad of symptoms caused by parasites. The suggested programme for eliminating parasites
is to start with a Chinese Tiao He Cleanse, immediately followed with
a 10-day course of Para-Cleanse. Then have a 10 day break followed by
a final 10-day course of Para-Cleanse to ensure you eliminate any newly
hatched eggs. Black Walnut Liquid Extract is a great alternative for
children. This
is certainly a programme I intend doing in January after watching the
documentary! |

HANDY HEALTH TIPS FOR THE
WINTER MONTHS
Influenza
News of
the latest ‘flu epidemic is very worrying, particularly for young children
and the elderly. Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection of the
upper respiratory tract and can be spread easily by coughing and sneezing.
There are over 200 different individual strains of colds and ‘flu virus so
‘flu vaccinations have been only partly successful in preventing outbreaks. What to do if you contract a ‘flu virus. ·
Stay at home! ·
Consume plenty of fluids, especially fresh juices,
herbal teas, soups and quality water to prevent dehydration and flush out the
body. ·
Sleep and rest as much as possible. ·
Antibiotics are useless against viral illnesses so
make sure you have Dandelion & Purslane Combination (VS-C Liquid) Extract in your Herbal Medicine
cabinet, as this is very effective at fighting viral infections for both
adults and children. ·
Colloidal Silver is excellent at eradicating sore throats and is anti-viral and
anti-bacterial. Gargle with Colloidal Silver in warm water at the first sign
of a sore throat or cold. ·
Strengthen your immune system with Immune
Stimulator. ·
Consider taking the Anti-Oxidant Arsenal,
which contains the vitamins A, C and E together with the minerals Zinc and
Selenium, as these are powerful antioxidants and immune boosters. ·
Zinc lozenges are very useful to keep on hand and to take as soon as symptoms
develop, such as a sore throat. ·
At the first sign of a cough, place 15-20 drops of Echinacea/Goldenseal
herbal extract in your mouth and hold it there for 5 or 10 minutes.
Repeat this every hour for 3 or 4 hours as it stops the virus from
multiplying. (Do not take if pregnant). Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD) Some
people become more depressed in the winter months, when the days are shorter
and darker. This type of disorder is known as seasonal affective disorder.
This is frequently linked to B vitamin deficiencies or poor eating
habits. If you
feel a bit down try taking the Mood Elevator (stock no 1878) and
a Vitamin B Complex (stock no 1773). If you
need more energy a daily glass of SynerProtein mixed with TNT
will give you a real boost. Try adding the Liquid Colloidal
Minerals to the drink to ensure you get a full range of energy promoting
minerals. Vitamin
B Complex also helps increase your energy levels. Please
contact me for details of products that may help your specific health
problem. To order any products ring Nature’s Sunshine on

TESTIMONIAL “I have
suffered from cold sores for many years and have always dreaded the first
sign of a cold sore, knowing that I would have to put up with it for at least
three weeks. I was then told of a product called L-Lysine, which fights the
herpes simplex virus (the cause of cold sores). I was also advised to use
Ultimate Echinacea Liquid Extract topically on the cold sore at the first
sign. I bought both these products as a precaution. I
recently felt the start of a cold sore and immediately took the L-Lysine and
put some liquid Ultimate Echinacea on the spot. I was amazed that the cold
sore disappeared within 4 days instead of the usual 3 weeks. I only wish I
had known about these products years ago”. Dianne
Consiglio Sicily Editor’s note. L-Lysine
is available on the USA Monthly Special order form. Only distributors receive
this form but if you want any L-Lysine I’ll order it for you. THE HRT CONTROVERSY For many
years HRT has been promoted as the Menopausal drug that reduces the risk of
Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s, Depression and Osteoporosis. Over the past 12
months the media have highlighted major studies that have exposed HRT as a
drug that has been proven to increase the risk of certain cancers and
disease. As a result, scores of women are now looking for natural
alternatives to HRT. Nature’s
Sunshine has 4 products that are specifically beneficial for the Menopause. ·
