Stress Facts – did you know?

There’s no denying that we live in a stressful world. From daily time pressures, to the stress of a toxic environment, it can sometimes seem like we’re swimming in a pool of stress and gasping for air. Along with the more obvious stressors, emotional stress — stress from the stories of our lives — often goes unnoticed, and can sit at the root of many health issues.

The sad truth is that stress is probably the most significant contributor to disease — and it is the most difficult to treat. The World Health Organization estimates that by the year 2020, psychological and stress-related disorders will be the second leading cause of disabilities in the world. It’s fascinating to me that something which can be perceived in our minds can have that kind of effect on our physiology. But if we look at the science, it makes perfect sense. Stress — real or perceived, acute or chronic — affects your health. It changes hormonal pathways and the way neurotransmitters relay information. If these disruptions remain ongoing, there are serious implications for your body. The good news is, it’s never too late to do something about stress.

Please join us to learn some stress reduction techniques that can help you manage stress physically, emotionally and mentally. Learn how to support you body and mind nutritionally.

Video Picks of the Month – sorry it was too hard to choose one…..

1) A family’s bold battle to get medical authorities to use high does Vit. C to save their husband/father:

http://www.3news.co.nz/Default.aspx?TabId=371&articleID=171328&ce8233=1#comment

18 minutes from the Morgan Spurlock – director of “Super Size Me”. It is a little slow, but emphasizes all that we believe in about eating.  If you don’t have time to watch it; here is a point form summary:

Father did an 8 week detox diet of only natural, unprocessed food – went through         drug withdrawal symptoms, feels great now!

He researched why more people did not eat better: found out that Food processors       pay to have “Heart Smart” labels put on their food – nothing to do with health!

Medical system is paid to keep us sick and taking medications

Even eating raw some of the time is helpful

Eat the best that you can afford

2) To learn more about raw foods and how to reverse insulin dependant diabetes……

3) The bionic burger: they actually never rot! 3 + minutes

Success Stories

 

An 84 year old woman from Colorado has been battling leukemia with repeated chemotherapy since 2002. She received chemo for all but 2 years. The cancer shifted from Non Hodgkin to Mantle Cell, a more serious form, in March, 2010. After finishing more chemotherapy Mar- June, she was exhausted and was given a negative prognosis. She started on the Paw Paw program in July and CT scan in October showed complete remission! Within days of starting the Paw Paw, her energy levels increased dramatically!

 

Business

We are always looking for more people to train as herbal specialists. There is a great need for those who wish to earn and learn, while helping others.

Spiritual and Emotional

Whenever you feel stress speeding up your life,

  • take just 10 seconds to breathe in the light and love that surrounds us in this universe
  • breathe out what is no longer serving you.
  • give thanks to three things you treasure in your life at this moment.

 

Political Scene

Health Canada continues to ignore the public’s desire for safe supplementation. Parsley is being questioned in capsule form! Vitamin D3 is being limited to 1000 IU, even though there is daily research showing we should be taking upwards to 10,000 in cloudy winter climates! Bill C36 is still looming. Contact your MP to see how they are voting for this bill! Not much better in the States, or in Europe……

But at least we have Silver Guard back (used to be called Silver Shield). Do not be fooled by the ‘mouthwash’ label. It is the same incredible product!

I intend to always have a few large bottles in stock as our best family defence against all bacteria, viruses, fungus and molds!

 

 

Raising Healthy Children

 

Nature’s Sunshine has introduced a dynamic line of new children’s supplements – the Sunshine Heroes. State of the art science and nutritional has gone into making these one of the best available for your children. The line includes:

  • Multiple vitamins and minerals, containing a whole food blend of fruit and vegetable powders in a soft chewable.  (I must admit, I am using these as a sweet treat for myself – delicious!)
  • Whole Foods Papayazyme to help children break down all 3 food groups. This helps make up for enzyme loss in cooked foods.
  • Probiotic Power to maintain healthy colonic flora, which  improves immune response

 

NSP’s Liquid Herbs are especially suitable for children’s health: the liquids are quick and easy to assimilate:

Ultimate Echinacea, AL-J liquid for allergies and respiratory, Lobelia for coughs, asthma, teething, Catnip & Fennel for fever, HRP-C for flu,  CBG for ear infections, are just some of them.

Success Stories

“Thank you so much. I feel amazing today; the progress since I’ve seen you is incredible!  The combination of things you gave me is divine, they must be angel picked.*  I’m inspired with making new food choices, life is great. Also appreciate all the information you emailed, and the time you spent with me and my husband.”

Thanks, DP, BC

*Products used were: Noni (Morinda), Lobelia, Slippery Elm and Vit. E, (via Compass Assessment and CRA) along with lifestyle recommendations of dietary change, exercise and emotional clearing to deal with healing crisis.)

“I have used Super Oil for the last two years and what a difference it has made for my dry skin. Plus my joints seem way more supple!” JG, Ontario

In our office we use Super Oil for energy, arthritic and inflammatory conditions, hormonal balancing, weight loss, skin & hair health, nerves and MS. That covers a lot of things! Super Oil is that – a super combination of Salmon Oil, Flax, Evening Primrose, with lemon oil and Vit. E for preservatives and flavoring. Yet another reason why NSP Super Oil is an excellent product for just about everybody! Stock # 8235-8 in Canada.

Political Scene

Bill C-36, which is again trying to “protect us” from Natural Health products is in House reading. PLEASE contact your MP to get their stance on this and make your views known.

I am aware of 2 cases, too close to home for comfort, in the last couple of months.

1.  An ND in Alberta, Eldon Haas, had his home searched while he and wife were held at gun point for most of the day. Folic Acid was confiscated.

2. Marigold, a natural pharmacy in Courtenay, BC, was searched with the assistance of 2 armed RCMP, $146,000 of natural products confiscated, and pharmacy closed down.

These are only 2 incidents of which I know; many more have surely happened, and yes, folks, this is IN Canada. I have spoken to both of these people to verify this, and unfortunately , both are true!

Bill C-36 can only make things worse for those who are willing to help themselves to better health. Big Pharma is threatened by potential decrease in sales, and Canadians are selling their souls for the sake of the “global economy”, if they don’t speak up.

Make yourself aware to prepare for the upcoming “get your flu shot”  propaganda:

Canadians To Be Vaccinated With Live H1N1 Virus with MSG For The 2010/11 Flu Season
http://preventdisease.com/news/10/092310_toxic_flumist_vaccine.shtml
The Public Health Agency of Canada has once again given their seal of approval for the injection of a dangerous cocktail of toxic chemicals they call a trivalent vaccine. The 2010/11 recipients of AstraZeneca’s FLUMIST will be exposed to several strains of live viruses including H1N1 and H3N2. The vaccine also contains MSG and other known neurotoxins and immunotoxins.

Stay tuned for Duncan Vaccine Class, November 3rd.

Business

We are always looking for more people to train as herbal specialists. There is a great need for those who wish to earn and learn, while helping others.

Spiritual and Emotional

Saint Augustine defined the grace of love as Volo ut sis—I want you to be. There is, he wrote, an affirmation of the mystery of the other in relationships based on love, an affirmation of unexplained and unfathomable differences. Relationships based on love recognize that others have a right to be. These relationships accept the sacredness of difference. This acceptance means that no one individual or belief system captures or espouses an absolute truth. All struggle, in their own way, some outside of religious systems and some within them, to interpret mystery and transcendence.

Raising Healthy Children:

The job of the infant and toddler is to move, touch and connect with other humans. Restrained by bucket seats, strollers and backpacks, infants aged 0-2 years old watch an average 2.2 hours per day of TV, and 25% have TV’s in their bedrooms. Toddlers age 3-5 years use 4.5 hours per day of combined technology. This technology overuse is resulting in delays in achieving developmental milestones needed for school entry. One third of children who enter school will be categorized as “developmentally vulnerable” and go on to fail their grade 4

and 7 exams and not complete high school. Low postural tone, poor coordination, delayed speech, behavior disorders, and  difficulty paying attention are just a few 21st century problems concerning therapists throughout North America. Movement, touch and human connection is crucial in this day and age of technology obsession.

From Cris Rowan, BSc Occupational Therapy and Biology, SIPT certified Pediatric Sensory Specialist, CEO of Zone’in Programs Inc. and author of, “Virtual Child: The terrifying truth about what technology is doing to children“.

So go outside and play with your children – if you don’t have any handy, ask to share some time with a single parent’s child! What a great benefit to all of you!

Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians! No matter where you live give thanks for everything that you can!

Yours in health,

Herbal Intensive Course: Come, Learn, And Enjoy

Courses and Events, , , ,

The Cowichan Valley supports a lush growth of plants that have been traditionally used for medicinal purposes, as well as for food.

Each summer for the past 12 years people of North America have gathered here to take part in a Herbal Intensive of 3 to 4 days to really get in touch with these gifts from nature.

We study:

  • indigenous, wild, and some cultivated botanicals
  • the Doctrine of Signatures 
  • plant identification
  • harvesting ethically
  • storing and preparing the plants 
  • using  them for medicinal purposes.

Someone might get a poultice applied; another a compress. Faces often contort as we taste the various decoctions!

We learn how to prepare and apply herbs in a practical and fun “hands on” setting. 

One trained practitioner from Calgary, Alberta wrote this in her evaluation:      
“I learned to identify herbs out in the field, herbs which I have used with people for many years but never knew what they looked like.  It was great to see them in their natural habitat.  It helped me get to know them better as living beings! ”
Monica H.  Calgary, AB.

The Medicine Wheel, which is part of what is shared in the Annual Herbal Intensive, integrates four pillars of health:

  • physical,
  • spiritual,
  • mental and
  • emotional.

Tied into this are the active principles and actions of herbs, seasons, directions, animal guides, and tastes.

This year, we will be offering a special workshop just on the Medicine Wheel the afternoon before, July 9th, 2010 from  1 – 4 pm.

People are welcome to take this on its own, and those attending the Intensive are encouraged to arrive early and participate in the Medicine Wheel workshop.

Join us to experience the healing powers we have been provided with by getting in touch with herbs.

Come to learn and to feel the peace of nature seep into your cells, guided by one of Canada’s leading herbal experts,  Master Herbalist and Healer of over 30 years.

On beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia – build a holiday of your lifetime around this event! Please contact our office for posters with details.
 
Many traditional lifestyles embrace the significance of four……

The four directions, north, east, south and west,
Balance between these offers life at its best.
The four seasons and winter, spring, summer and fall,
The four elements, air, fire, water and earth, represents all.
The four races of man, represented in the colours red, yellow, black and white,
The four changes in a day, sunrise, noon, sunset and night.

Blended within these are the spirits of creation, life, love and light.
Follow a pathway of the heart to truth, peace and harmony.

Health Tips

Our blog offers ongoing health tips. Many articles have been added since the last newsletter:

Soy Controversy

Hear about Your Ear: Infections and Tinnitus

Paw Paw Program for renegade cell growth and more

Marie’s Cancer Success – YES finally got this on the blog! Thanks Marie!

www.naturalpathremedies.com – click on Blog on the left hand side. For those that may not know this about some blogs; to read the entire article, you may need to click on the title of the article. Guess we are supposed to be mind-readers, as well as techno-gurus?

I have recently re-listened to the “8 Causes of Disease” CD by Dr. Gordon Pedersen. It is an excellent run down of how we can prevent the top 4 North American killers: cardiovascular, cancer, stroke and diabetes, by what and how we choose to eat, exercise, sleep, drink, think and Yes folks – all scientific studies show that the average person needs supplementation to not be deficient and to add healthy, quality years to our lives.

If anyone would like to purchase this CD for $5, please call our office.

In summary, Dr. Pedersen offers proof that shows we need a wide range of vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, and anti-oxidants on a daily basis. After listening to his tape, you will understand why the Super Trio daily nutrition pack is so popular! Contact our office for a write-up on this convenient affordable way to add life to your life.

VIP – Update and Educate: For any current Nature’s Sunshine Product members, there are always great specials, course announcements, etc. on the Update and Educate, available via email or fax to anyone as a VIP (free) – call or email the office to get registered.  And if you are not a member, and want to purchase professional quality products, to your home, at discount prices – call or email the office to get your personalized health program started now! Membership is free in most countries with a small order.

Spring is a good time to think about cleansing – have you done your Tiao He liver cleanse or Para Pak parasite/candida cleanse yet this year? Cleansing your body is at least important as changing the oil in your car regularly.

Remember what you eat, what you digest and assimilate, minus what you output equals what you are! Something like Einstein’s formula e=mc 2; only this is:

eat + digest + assimilate – bowel movements = health

Maybe a few more things involved like liver, kidneys, lymph….but the basics ARE NB.

After being in this field 30 years, I would still have to say that the majority of health challenges start in the digestive and intestinal system. Enzymes and probiotics are essential keys to health. Contact us if you would like more specifics about what type of enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics are best for you. We work several types because every person is different, with varying needs.

Many of our classes and conference calls are also good ways to learn more about your health……so let’s find out more about what’s upcoming…..

Slimming Club anyone?

We are considering starting another slimming Club, which has been a very successful program to teach people all about their body – how and why it works, how to  eat for optimum weight, and all sorts of tips on general health. It is a 6 – 8 week program, 2 hours per week. Please contact our office for an outline if you may be interested.

Political Scene

I get hundreds of emails monthly about political issues and generally try to avoid them in my newsletters. I am breaking the rules now, as presently there are 3 issues which greatly impact Canadian’s health. I have spent hours speaking to people, reading to clarify, and getting contacts to simplify, so that you can, and hopefully will take action. Please do.

Issue #1     Natural Health regulations:

Lots of emails and yet very little in the media about the status of natural health supplements. Canadians and Americans seem perilously close to losing choice in their health, yet again. Believe me I have been hearing this for well over 25 years, but it seems this time the government is really being pressured by big pharma. We need to act NOW to let your government rep know we want them to listen. Massive letter and fax campaigns have worked before – they count on voters for their job.

Contact our office for a summary of issues and sample newsletters.

Issue #2   Labelling for GMO products:

Canada and US are again behind our European counterparts. We need to ensure we have GMO foods labelled. European countries will not even allow GMO products in their countries; Monsanto is attempting to shove them down our throats without us even knowing about it!

This 10 minute video gives you enough info to know that you need to care: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ5OxdIq5DY&fmt=18

Watching the video, ONE THING becomes certain:
The genetically engineered crops that we will ALL begin consuming shortly are ALL ABOUT MONSANTO and not at all about human and animal nutrition and health or the environment.

Due to public apathy and disinterest, the USDA just granted Monsanto an application to market GMO alfalfa  (a primary feed crop).  By 2011, with the addition of sugar cane, wheat and barley, North America’s food supply will be totally dominated and controlled by Monsanto.

Issue #3  Last, but not least, the proposed HST:

Polls show that 80% of Canadians are opposed. ALL health products will automatically increase by 7%, in those provinces that do have PST on herbs and supplements. This is a category with proven cost saving benefits to our public health care system. At the very LEAST, health supplements, gym fees, health treatments, should be both GST AND PST exempt, and certainly not have HST. Again, we have a letter available by emailing us: takethenaturalpath@gmail.com

Spiritual and Emotional Tips

4 Steps to RECEIVE What You Ask

1- FUNDAMENTALS! Make it a “fundamental” practice to manage your fear thoughts at the beginning and ending of each day. You create your day, so at the beginning of every day write your intentions, wants, needs and desires for that day. “Normalize”  fear  with deliberate statements of intention and if needed, pick up the phone or fire off a call to a like-minded partner. You’ve read that “people without vision perish.” Create your vision of the future you intend to create, you simply can not achieve it! It’s mathematics. Do it, practice it, receive it!

2 – BE WORTHY. You are as worthy as you decide you are! The fundamentals you practice will advance your sense of self and worthiness. Worthiness is something that you can decide to feel and acquire from practicing the fundamentals. The other side of worthy is making certain your actions and behaviour match what you say you want. This is how you feel worthy. Practice holding firm on your vision and focus upon inspired actions that are congruent with what you are intending.

3 – GO FORWARD. You are not stuck! You stop only if you decide to stop. Replace saying  “I’m stuck” with, “I am receiving inspiration which is enjoyable and prospers me greatly.” That’s all. Deluding yourself into believing you are “stuck” only happens when you don’t keep your spiritual muscles taunt by flexing them with daily fundamentals: Statements of intention; Visualizing with feeling; Focusing upon what you prefer; and managing your thoughts to include what you intend and prefer above all else.

4 – MEET or SPEAK  regularly with other like-minded people to help you get your heart desires heard and believed, when you can’t quite believe it and feel it for yourself. Receiving feedback and reinforcement  from a  positive partner, you can rest, content. Spirit is doing the work.

It is our hope you are applying some of these principles to 2010. If you have not yet, guess what ? You can start now!

Thanks to Mary Robinson for sharing some basics of these ideas.

Thanks to those who have read to the end. Man or woman, you deserve a big hug!

Yours in health,
