I’ve had an excellent time recently. My sister, Judith, and I had a stand at the Natural Health Show in Cardiff on 28 and 29 April. We had so many people coming to our stand to complete a Lifestyle Analysis that it was almost 4 o’clock before we had chance to eat our lunch, both days! I gave a free lecture on why we all need to supplement our diets – did you know that today there are between 40% and 75% less minerals in the soil, and in our food, than fifty years ago? Minerals are an essential part of health and vital to overall mental and physical wellbeing. We can remedy this lack of minerals by taking Colloidal Minerals every day – 64 different trace minerals in a natural citrus-flavoured blend. Add it to your juice or your SynerProtein to make it easy.

 

Then last Thursday I attended the Herb Specialist Training Day, which was excellent. I love attending these training days as I always meet such interesting people and I learn so much about herbs and how they can help people with various ailments. Brian and Barbara Jacques, the trainers, have so much knowledge and personal experience of herbs, and Brian’s great sense of humour made it a very enjoyable and extremely informative day. For those of you who couldn’t make it, there will be follow up training evenings at Terry Bosshard’s house. I don’t have time to ring everyone, so please call me if you are interested in coming to any of the evening talks or if you need any advice.

P.S. To give you an idea of the sort of things you’ll learn at one of these talks, I’ve included a brief summary of just a few of the new products now offered by Nature’s Sunshine.

New Products Now Available!

There are now a number of products available in the UK that were until recently only available from the USA. Here are just a few that I’m particularly impressed with…

Food Enzymesthis product aids in the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates by supplying extra amounts of hydro-chloric acid and pancreatic enzymes to the digestive system. Hydro-chloric acid is needed to help break down the food we eat and the older we get the less is produced. So, if food feels heavy entering the stomach, or feels like it remains there for a long time, or if you experience severe wind or bloating, Food Enzymes may enhance digestion. To be taken after meals. (Stock No:1836; Price: £10.14).

 

Milk Thistle Combinationwhen you’re stressed your liver will suffer. We must look after our liver since it helps to emulsify fatty deposits, toxins and poisons that gather there. Nature’s Sunshine Milk Thistle Combination contains antioxidants and blood purifiers to support and cleanse your liver. (Stock No:4044; Price: £15.95).

 

Activated Charcoalthis product is excellent for severe or prolonged cases of diarrhoea as it absorbs irritants and toxins in the digestive tract. It has also helped lower cholesterol levels. (Stock No: 366; Price: £7.95).

 

Intestinal Soothe and Buildthis is a unique herbal blend that provides your intestinal tract with the reinforcements it needs to counter bacteria, as well as soothing and supporting these vital organs. It is particularly helpful in cases of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colitis, Celiac and Crohn’s Disease. (Stock No:1105; Price: £6.95).

 

Cholester-RegHongqu is a concentrated powder extract of fermented red rice that effectively regulates cholesterol. Did you know that the number one biggest killer in the UK is heart disease, while the second biggest is strokes? Why not get your cholesterol level checked by your doctor, but make sure you are told all three readings that are used to calculate your cholesterol level –LDL, HDL and Triglycerides. (Stock No: 555; Price: £17.95).

 

Super Antioxidant this product contains tocotrienols that can penetrate the fatty membranes of cells, taking their antioxidant properties deep within the cells. This product also promotes good prostate health and helps to rid the body of free radicals. We are all exposed to pollution and its free-radical damage upon our cells, but this product is also good for respiratory allergies and infections, or anyone who is extremely stressed in order to boost the immune and nervous systems with the necessary nutrients. (Stock No: 1825; Price: £22.25).

More comprehensive fact sheets are available on request.

WOMEN AND NATURAL HEALTH

Many women I speak to these days, whatever their age, seem to suffer badly with PMS symptoms, which include heavy, irregular or painful periods, cramps, bloating, mood swings or sugar cravings. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE (Stock No: 1812;

Price: £17.60) has been specially formulated with time-tested Chinese herbs to provide the nutritional support for women to maintain optimum health throughout the month. For infertility or loss of libido, Damiana & Ginseng Combination (X-Action for Women) (Stock No: 1121; Price: £13.47) is highly recommended. (There’s also one for men!).

 

Also, so many women are now deciding not to take HRT because of the possible side effects such as increased risk of breast and endometrial cancer, blood clots, hair loss, depression, skin rashes to name just a few. These women are looking for an alternative to HRT and Nature's Sunshine has the ‘natural alternative’. If you are suffering from hot flushes and night sweats then you could try FLASH-EASE (Stock No: 81, Price: £12.98). This is a potent, time-release combination of the western herb black cohosh and the noted Chinese herb dong quai. Clinical studies show that black cohosh extract acts like oestrogen and helps relieve hot flushes and depression. Dong Quai supports your reproductive system so the two together give you a natural defence against uncomfortable menopausal changes.

Nature's Sunshine has also produced a NATURAL CHANGES PACK (Stock No: 4055, Price: £21.33), which contains 42 packets of essential nutrients needed at the menopause. Each small packet contains the following: -
C-X x 2 capsules - this contains a combination of herbs including black cohosh to ensure the proper function of the reproductive glands of mature women.
SKL FORMULA - this contains vitamins A, C, D, B6, B12, plus calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, potassium and boron in a base of herbs to ensure strong, healthy bones and connective tissues, and protection against osteoporosis.
NUTRI-CALM - this combination of herbs and essential B-complex vitamins nourishes the nerves to help the body cope with stress.
WILD YAM AND CHASTE TREE - the combination of these herbs acts as a hormone balancer and may help to increase libido.
FLAXSEED OIL CAPSULE - this is an essential fatty acid and lowers the incidence of breast and colon cancer.

Another product, which I know has helped a number of women, is PHYTO-SOY (Stock No: 4981, Price: £12.97). These days we are constantly hearing that soya is good for us, but many people don't know how to eat soya in the form of tofu or tempeh. Soybean products contain the isoflavonoid genistein, which benefits the immune, glandular, and circulatory systems. Phyto-Soy contains

48 times more isoflavonoids than comparable amounts of tofu and 25 times more than tempeh. It also promotes bone growth and helps prevent osteoporosis.

If anyone would like more information on ‘Women's Problems’ including the menopause, PMS, cystitis, osteoporosis, candida or even pregnancy (which, of course, isn't a problem), I have created a presentation solely on these issues. If you and your friends would like me to give a talk on this subject, just give me a call on 01689 856581 and we can arrange a date when I can either give the talk at your house or mine.

HOLIDAY ESSENTIALS
Every summer I love going abroad for a holiday for some sunshine and a change of culture. I always used to take a conventional first aid kit with me including Diacalm for any upset stomach. Nature's Sunshine has the perfect items for taking away on holiday.
SUNSCREEN SPF25           Stock No: 3521       Price: £12.29
An excellent Sunscreen which is non-greasy so it's ideal for using on day trips as it doesn't stain your clothes, or on the beach as you still get a tan despite the high SPF.
ALOE VERA GEL Stock No: 1679       Price: £7.30
Your skin will feel like velvet using this gel as an Aftersun. The healing properties of Aloe Vera help repair any sun damage and it spreads so far, it works out cheaper than ordinary Aftersun. One bottle lasted me two weeks!
TEA TREE OIL (15ML)        Stock No: 1777       Price: £8.66
If you're going to a country where the mosquitoes come out at night to eat you, then you need to put Tea Tree oil on all exposed parts especially your ankles. Rub the oil onto your skin and the mosquitoes will keep away. It's worked for me for the past two years in Greece. Tea tree oil is also a natural antiseptic.
CAPSICUM                           Stock No: 160         Price: £5.99
If you cut yourself, open a capsule of capsicum and put the contents onto the cut. It will stop the bleeding immediately.
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL Stock No: 366         Price: £7.95
This effectively stops diarrhoea so your holiday won't be spoilt.
COLLOIDAL SILVER         Stock No: 4011       Price: £17.65
This completely tasteless liquid is ideal for any bacterial infections you may pick up from drinking untreated water (ice in drinks, salad washed in local water).

I also mentioned in my last newsletter the importance of taking Dandelion & Purslane Combination (VS-C™ Liquid) (Stock No: 3167; Price: £9.99) on flights to prevent any viral infection from the circulating air, and Butchers Broom (Stock No: 135; Price: £7.96) to prevent deep vein thrombosis from lack of mobility on a flight. My holiday is only four weeks away so I've ordered my ‘natural’ first aid kit. Have a great holiday!
