I think Summer has finally arrived at long last. It’s such a relief to cast off those heavy winter clothes and change into lighter summer clothes. Now is the ideal time to liven yourself up and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and as we expose more skin so it becomes easier to expel toxins through it. Start dry skin brushing every morning to help free the toxins and make your skin feel so much smoother. If you don’t know how to dry skin brush – just ask me and I’ll explain. My Newsletters are designed to help you take the right steps towards a healthier lifestyle, and I would recommend getting the excellent 110-page booklet produced by Nature’s Sunshine called ‘Your Personal Guide to Natural Health’. It gives a vast amount of information on why supplementation is essential, detoxing, women’s, men’s and children’s specific health remedies, weight management, the Lifestyle Analysis and the relevant flowcharts to help you choose which herbal remedy is for you; natural make-up and skincare, plus an A-Z of all the products available – well worth £1.50! Just call 08458 405060 to order your copy or ask me, as I have some in stock. Give me a call if you’re not quite sure what you should be ordering and you need some help. |

WOULD YOU LIKE MORE ENERGY?
This is the first question on the Lifestyle Analysis and not once
has anybody answered ‘No’ to it. The simple answer to getting more energy could
be to increase your intake of minerals. Sadly, if you belong to the post-war
generation, as most of us do, the nutritional value of our food has declined
dramatically. Ideally, we would like to get all the nutrients our bodies need
from food alone. But unfortunately farming techniques, pollutants, longer
transport and storage times means our food isn’t what it was fifty years ago.
In particular, many essential minerals like zinc and selenium have
been lost in our food – 75% less calcium in broccoli, 71% less iron in swedes,
to name just two. To ensure you have adequate intake of dietary nutrition and to
make you feel full of energy, Nature’s Sunshine suggests the
following three products:
COLLOIDAL MINERALS
– contains a full spectrum of macro and trace minerals in liquid suspension, and
great tasting lemon/lime flavour.
SUPER SUPPLEMENTAL
or MEGA
CHEL – two great multivitamin and mineral supplements.
SYNERPROTEIN
– the energy drink, which is made from soya protein with amino acids and
antioxidants, and is also dairy-free, yeast-free, gluten-free, wheat-free and
GM-free.

Not All
Supplements
are
Created Equal
Many ingredients in supplements on the market today are synthetic i.e. made from chemicals as opposed to food. Synthetic versions do not contain all of the active ingredients that are found in naturally sourced health products. Natural products are more effectively assimilated in the body and therefore work more effectively to improve health. Nature’s Sunshine manufactures its own products using the most sophisticated manufacturing facilities in the world. They also guarantee that their products are naturally sourced and contain all of the natural active ingredients. Be careful what you buy as the most important factor is the active ingredient. The manufacturers of cheaper products have to cut corners somewhere and therefore compromise on quality. Make sure you choose the right one.

REPAIRING THE TOXIC DAMAGE In my April Newsletter I gave you three different options for detoxing the body, which were the 28-day food detox, the 10-day Chinese Herbal Detox and the Bioenergy Foot Detox. We all accumulate toxins in our bodies from various chemicals in the environment such as exhaust fumes, pesticides and chemical fertilisers on our food; paint, cigarette smoke, drugs and medicines just to name the major culprits. Detoxing the body should be an on-going process and it’s not just the
actual toxins we have to be concerned about. It is usually the toxic damage
factor that gives us chronic diseases rather than just the presence of toxins
in the tissues of the body. The chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis,
diabetes or cancer are usually a result of gradually
accumulating tissue toxicity over years and not simply short-term exposure to
toxins or just bad luck. Correcting the effects of toxic damage is quite separate from actual
detoxification, as the body’s healing abilities need to be activated. To
start the healing process after your choice of detoxification, the cells of
the body need a range of nutrients.
If you would like a more detailed fact sheet on any of the products
mentioned in this Newsletter, or would like to book a Bioenergy foot detox,
then please call me on 01689 856581.

LIVER CANCER
This letter was published in the Soil Association Magazine in
March 2004, which may interest you.
‘You may be interested in my Dad’s amazing
story. Diagnosed with liver cancer in summer 2002, he was given approximately 12
months of good health. Chemotherapy would not get rid of the disease – only
delay it spreading. This seemed like the only option until some friends informed
him of The Nutritional Cancer Therapy Trust (NCTT). Basically, this diet
consists of organic fruit and vegetables, brown rice and various supplements. He
started the diet in October 2002 and in January 2003, a CT scan showed quite a
reduction in the size of the liver metastases. A further scan in July 2003
showed no sign of the tumour at all! He had another scan in January 2004 and
again there was still no sign. We strongly believe that this was due to the
organic diet and nutritional therapy outlined by the NCTT. This year he will be
continuing with the organic diet but may
introduce meat, fish and dairy produce.’ Stephanie Pitcher
Nutrition Cancer Therapy Trust
I have known about this trust for a few years as the director,
Chris Ashton, has given talks at the Plaskett Nutritional Medicine College where
I studied for my diploma in Nutritional Therapy. Lawrence Plaskett, the
principal of the college has designed specific diets to treat specific cancers.
These diets are used by Chris Ashton at the Cancer Therapy Trust, along with
various nutritional supplements. You can contact Chris Ashton on 01483 202264
for further information on the Cancer Therapy
Trust.
Chris Ashton is giving a talk at the Thames Valley University,
Ealing on Saturday 5 June
as part of
the college quarterly lectures. The cost of the day is £22 and also includes
lectures on HIV and Aids, Antioxidants and The Nutritional Management of
Childhood Skin Disorders. If you want to book a place you can contact the
College on 01566 773731.
