It’s November and winter is well and truly here.  So, too, are the colds and sore throats! Don’t forget that Echinacea is brilliant for preventing your cold or sore throat from getting any worse – it actually makes these symptoms disappear if you take Echinacea as soon as there’s a hint of a cold coming. Vitamin C is also excellent for the immune system. If you take one every day throughout the year you may never have a cold again!

It’s also time to start thinking about Christmas and all those presents you have to buy. Have you thought about picking up the phone and simply ordering from Nature’s Sunshine? There are some wonderful beauty and make-up products ideal for teenagers, friends and family. They’re 100% natural so you don’t have to worry whether anyone has sensitive skin. The make-up compact is particularly good at just £5.99. The individual eye-shadows, highlighters and blushers are magnetic and fit perfectly into the compact making it a customised make-up set with personally chosen colours.  The Colour Analysis will help you to choose which colours are right for you.

The Nature’s Sunshine Convention was excellent with Dr Alvin Segelman giving a very informative, and somewhat humorous, talk on his life and work in researching herbs all over the world. Eight new products were launched as well as those for cats, dogs and horses!  In January Dr Hilary Jones will be speaking, so book your place now!

Natural HRT and the Menopause

The menopause is something that most women will be unable to avoid. Fortunately, some of us won’t suffer as much as others, unlike those who have had a hysterectomy. But whether we experience severe menopausal symptoms

or just mild effects, it’s good to know that there are natural products to help us combat the following symptoms:

•   hot flushes

• night sweats

•  mood swings

• palpitations

• headaches

• insomnia

• vaginal dryness

and the long term effects of

• osteoporosis

•  heart disease

Doctors very freely offer HRT as the answer, but there are reasons for not taking HRT. The possible side effects include increased risk of breast cancer and cancer of the womb, blood clots, weight gain/loss, mental depression and hair loss to name just a few!

Nature’s Sunshine has the answer with a range of natural products that successfully and safely control the symptoms and prevent possible side effects:

C-X helps control hot flushes and night sweats and has a balancing effect on the hormones particularly if the ovaries have been removed.
FC with Dong Quai is the alternative if you still have your ovaries and also alleviates vaginal dryness. HVP helps alleviate insomnia while Vitamin E with Selenium not only helps to destroy free radicals but also aids the prevention of blood clots and lowers cholesterol. Calcium-Magnesium is required for strong bones, a healthy heart and nervous system, and helps prevent osteoporosis. Multiple Vitamins and Minerals for heart protection and overall health. It is also advisable to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, exercise regularly, give up smoking, avoid saturated fats and include soya products (GM-free of course!) in your diet. If you would like more information then give me a call, as I’m here to give advice should you need it.

Your Letters

Many thanks for your letters and testimonials – keep sending them in!

I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I have tried every sort of diet and nothing has really worked. Then I was told about Nature’s Sunshine herbal products that help to promote weight loss. I started by taking a 7-day Nature’s Cleanse, which I repeat every 5 weeks, and each time I have lost just over 3 lbs. I then take Fen Chi and Fat Grabbers for the following four weeks and the pounds are disappearing fast. In six months I have lost almost 3 stones in weight and I feel full of energy. I follow the Weight Watchers low-fat diet and still attend the classes for motivation and weighing, but I don’t think I would have succeeded without Nature’s Sunshine. I can’t wait to go shopping for new clothes again!

Thank you for suggesting the Chinese Cleanse to me. I had suffered with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for some time and sought help from my GP without any success. It has been terrific to find something that actually worked for me. I had been rather apprehensive at taking such a large amount of capsules every day. However, I managed to follow the plan without any problems. The results were evident within days and even now, six months later, I’m still feeling the benefits.

I recently attended one of Judith’s talks at her home where she gave us lots of interesting facts on nutrition and why supplementation is necessary. She also gave us some background information on the Company and how it has grown to become one of the top three suppliers of quality natural products. I certainly found it an eye-opener to learn that many of the products you can buy in Boots or supermarkets contain man-made substances and fillers that are no good to us at all! She had available for us to view a selection of products ranging from vitamins and herbal supplements, face and body moisture creams, shampoo and make-up. I hope to get a group of my friends together for Judith to give a talk on health and nutrition, and for them to find out about the benefits of Nature’s Sunshine products.

N.B. If you book a party with me between now and March (at least 8 people per party please), you will get one of the useful magnetic compacts absolutely FREE!

New Products… New Products…
New Products!

At the recent Convention eight exciting new products were launched. We all welcomed these products and found there was something for everyone. I have enclosed a leaflet that explains what these new products are, but I thought the following three were particularly good:

Vari-gone – as the name suggests, this product (the only one of its kind on the market) helps to get rid of those ugly varicose veins. It also helps with spider veins and haemorrhoids (which are actually ‘varicosed’ rectal veins!) and tired, swollen and aching feet. The formula, exclusive to Nature’s Sunshine, effectively supports vein health to improve appearance and to support the blood flow back to the heart.

Cellu-Smooth – September’s Newsletter included an article on how to get rid of cellulite with Gotu Kola and the Cellu-Tone Essential Oil Blend. Well, now there’s Cellu-Smooth, a new herbal supplement formulated to increase general circulation, mobilise fat stores and protect against free radical damage to structural skin proteins. I’m certainly going to give it a try!

Brain-Protex – are you always wondering where you left your keys, or can’t quite remember names? Brain-Protex has been designed to aid maximum brain function, to nourish the brain and to support brain health. Brilliant if you’re about to sit exams or would just like to be more alert!

Some of you may be a little confused as to which products to take for which condition – I know I was when I first started using Nature’s Sunshine products! To help you make the right choice you can order a 125-page Product Guide from me. The product range is listed in alphabetical order and includes over 400 ailments, from abcesses to yeast infections (and just about everything in between!). The Product Guide costs just £3.50 – you will then need to put it into an A5 ring binder. I don’t know where I’d be without it!

It’s still not too late for you to sign and return your Renewal Form.  30 November is the deadline. Your account will then remain open and you will be able to continue ordering from Nature’s Sunshine. There’s no charge for renewing your account. And don’t forget to send your purple Order Form together with your Renewal Form to get 5% discount!

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