Heart Health Tips

Heart  Health Tips

Valentine’s Day is all about love. Our purpose in life is ultimately to realize unconditional love for all life, including all life forms and mother earth, which is the ultimate life form with whom we co-exist. May the cupid of love infuse you with some unconditional love!

The heart has always been the representation for love, so I want to offer you some helpful heart health tips.

Our entire body is all about little chemical messengers like hormones and neurotransmitters. The more love we feel, think and send forth, the healthier these messengers function and the more of them we produce. Vibrations produced by thoughts of love are powerful! So for a healthy heart, start with loving thoughts.

Heart and Noise:

A recent Danish study including 51,485 participants confirmed a link between road-traffic noise and the risk of a stroke. It turns out that for every 10 decibels (dB) more traffic noise, the risk of suffering a stroke increased by 14%. Those aged 65 and over the risk jumps to 27% for every 10 dB. The correlation was present even after researchers made allowances for other environmental and lifestyle factors, including air pollution, smoking, and diet. Noise pollution is also related to stress, poor sleep quality, elevated blood pressure, and an increased heart rate.

Heart and Cholesterol:

Cholesterol lowering drugs are the main medical approach to lowering cholesterol levels. Cholesterol lowering drugs are now a market worth $24 billion per year in the US. Most sales come from statin drugs, such as Mevacor and Lipitor. It is cheap to make this stuff –Lipitor has a mark up of more than 4, 000 %. Prices are protected by patents, and society is inundated with propaganda to buy these products .

To sell more drugs standard blood test ranges are often changed. Cholesterol is a prime example of this approach, to the point that what is deemed to be healthy cholesterol levels is a contentious and complex issue. Too low of cholesterol is not healthy, as it interferes with hormonal production and depletes CoQ10, thereby negatively affecting all cardiovascular functions. Statins have reported side effects on the following systems: Skeletal, Neurological, Gastrointestinal, Reproductive, Eye and Liver.

Before jumping on the medication bandwagon, I encourage you to do your own research and try natural aids. We have used combinations such as LoClo and Psyllium Hulls Combo for 30 + years to regulate cholesterol naturally, with NO side effects, but lot of benefits.

Heart and Blood Pressure:

Another example is the change in measurements used to determine High Blood Pressure. In the not too distant past, only diastolic rate was counted; adding systolic meant more people would be found to be too high, thereby needing more drugs.

Natural products lower blood pressure:

We recently had a woman in her mid eighties who had diastolic blood pressure ranging from 149 – 194 for the past year. Within 3 weeks of beginning a natural herbal formula called BloodPressurex, her blood pressure was down to 120-125 and has stayed in this range for over three months. Besides working faster than the drugs, there are no side effects. All the more reason for Canadians to write your letters to let your government know you want access to safer, less expensive natural products!

 Success Stories & Product Education

Solstic Slim and Weight Loss

People who participated in a study using Solstic Slim, the huckleberry flavoured energy and weight loss drink, lost 12 – 25 pounds in 8 weeks! The average loss was 14-16 pounds.

Taking Solstic Slim between meals after breakfast, lunch and dinner decreased appetite and especially snack cravings. This is primarily due to the action of the Carraluma fibrilata, which helps to decrease appetite. It also contains powerful anti-oxidants such as Red Grape, Green Tea (decaffeinated), and Damiana. For those who are sensitive to caffeine, the evening drink should not be taken too late, as it contains natural Yerba Mate.

To help with weight loss it is, find an evening activity that does not involve eating for at least 2 hours before bedtime. Evening is the time when many people consume calories they will not burn during the night, which means they will convert these calories to fat.  So that piece of toast as a bedtime snack has to go!

Another advantage of not eating after dinner is that if you take one scoop of Collatrim Plus before bed, on an empty stomach, you will tone muscles and lose while you snooze! Many people also find that Collatrim does help them sleep more soundly. This powder’s citrus taste is a pleasant improvement over the liquid. If you don’t like that, then capsules are also available.

Of course, for any successful weight loss program, it is critical to make healthy dietary changes, exercise, drink water, and have a support group.  Contact our office if you would like assistance with this.

The recent Nature’s News also has excellent Weight Loss Tips. If you did not get yours from NSP, ask them to send one with next order, or to email it to you.

 

Nature’s Fresh Enzyme

This enzyme product used as a poultice on damaged/dehydrated disks, is absorbed through the skin and helps bring life giving enzymes into the damaged disk to help repair it and helps rehydrate it. Have them increase water intake 3 fold and you will be amazed at the results.

Other Uses of Nature’s Fresh Enzyme spray:

  • Use Nature’s Fresh as an underarm deodorant. Spray directly on after bath or shower and throughout the day or night as needed. It really does work and is much safer than commercial deodorants that contain chemical or the crystals that can clog pores.
  • Contact Lenses – Use a couple of drops in pure water and rinse thoroughly
  • Acne – Use daily as a cleanser/toner
  • Arthritis – spray on inflamed joints and areas with pain
  • Back pain/sore stiff muscles – spray on topically and also 1 tsp 2x daily internally
  • Insect bites – relieves swelling and itching
  • Cough/sore throats – spray in the back of the throat area
  • Nail fungus – soak daily
  • Infected cuts/scrapes – spray on topically
  • Fibromyalgia – internally 2 tsp per day and topically on areas of concern
  • Sinus infection/inflammation – use in a nose spray bottle diluted 50% with pure water or Colloidal Silver
  • Sunburn- spray on topically to relieve pain
  • Teeth/gums – use as a mouth rinse for bleeding gums, infection or abscesses
  • Spider veins – spray on topically twice daily

 

Political Scene – lots going on right now!

Your Health freedom is being severely threatened yet again. Please start writing letters to all health officials and your MP. Information on the following websites can help you realize that Canadians are in a position to really lose the majority of products that have not received NPNs – Natural Product Numbers. In 5 years of applying, the govt. has chosen to grant less than 15,000 out of more than 60,000 applications – 2 of the most absurd are Parsley (yes, parsley!) and Vit D3 in amounts greater than 1000 IU, when all research is showing we need up to 10,000 in winter months.

There is no logic, especially when death from drugs is reaching over 120,000 per year!  They are requiring supplements to have more stringent “proof”while they fast track dangerous prescriptions. It does not take rocket science to figure out that the pharmaceutical giants are controlling the politicians and Canadians need to take a stand now. I have a separate email going out with all addresses. Please take action., if you freedom of choice for safe natural products.

Ongoing free conference calls will be happening every Sunday evening 6:30 PST.  Call:  1-213-289-0500                     Access code # 5236500

 WEAPONS OF MASS SEDUCTION

IT ONLY TOOK THE DRUG DEALERS A SCANT FEW YEARS TO SUCCEED IN THE SCHEME TO MARKET DRUGS TO HEALTHY PEOPLE

http://www.ahrp.org/infomail/05/09/12a.php

 

Humour

Only a Canadian can truly appreciate this!

A woman from Vancouver, who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter, purchased acres of timberland near Lake Cowichan, Vancouver Island. There was a huge tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to view the natural splendour of her land, so she climbed the tree. As she neared the top, she encountered an endangered spotted owl. It attacked her! In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground.

The ensuing fall incurred several splinters of wood in her pubic area.  In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor, 35 minutes away in Duncan.  She told him she was an environmentalist and anti-hunter and how she came to receive all of the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience. He then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help. The impatient patient sat, and sat, and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, ‘What took you so long?’

He smiled and said, ‘Well, I had to get permits from Environment Canada, BC Forest Service and Worksafe BC before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I’m sorry, but they turned me down.’

OH CANADA!

Raising Healthy Children

Did you know that children need 60 – 90 minutes daily of vigorous exercise for top physical health? Yes, that’s more than adults! This means less time on computers and TV.

For optimum mental health and clear thinking, they need a daily supply of vitamins, minerals, essential oils, besides quality protein and low glycemic carbs. None of this is in fast food.

Children are loving our new Super Heroes Multi Vits. and Mins. Natural super powered gummy bears!!

THE PAW PAW PROGRAM – A “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS”APPROACH TO CANCER…..THE WORLD IS ROUND AND CANCER CAN BE TREATED NATURALLY

This book began in April, 2005, when I wrote, “A Complementary Approach to Cancer“, for a series of cross Canada Health Classes to teach people about Paw Paw, a herb used as part of a natural program for cancer.

The end result is a 286 page book offering a program that works, is affordable, and can be combined with allopathic treatments. The book includes background, research, all instructions, and dietary suggestions about protein, pH, additional supportive supplementation, treatment options, lifestyle suggestions, case studies, success stories, and more. It answers a lot of the questions that have been asked by those following the program the last 5 years! It is professionally done, with charts and illustrations, making it easy to understand.

This book was written to offer help to anyone dealing with cancer, as well as to help understand causes and incorporate preventative lifestyle changes. For practitioners working with Cancer this book is a must to save you time and help your clients understand a natural approach.

Success Stories

 

Candida Clear Cleanse:

“I am having fantastic feedback from everyone who uses the Candida Clear Cleanse. Six different people who did this cleanse ALL lost weight within the 2 week s– the men lost up to 20 pounds, the women between 10 – 13 pounds

One woman who has bad indigestion, belching for years now knows exactly when she takes something that is not good for her.  This has really helped people understand the importance of diet. People are sleeping better, getting rid of belly bulge and having way better energy. Until people step up to the plate and try they do this cleanse, they cannot really understand the detrimental effect alcohol, bread, sugar and fast foods have on their health. If someone has problems with alcohol, they  are best to do the Tiao He Cleanse first.”   Liz

Thanks for sharing Liz! We could probably all benefit from a Candida cleanse after Christmas.

Silver:

We continue to get great success stories with both the liquid Silver Guard and Silver Gel. We are taking ½ to 1 tsp. a day of the liquid Guard – keeps our immune system strong, and Dr. Pedersen sees results worldwide for this helping to prevent flu and many other infections! Silver is much safer than injecting thimersol (mercury) or other preservatives, formaldehyde, laborartory viruses, and egg parts into your blood stream via vaccines. Read more at:

http://www.naturalpathremedies.com/blog/category/healthy-solutions/silver-sol-uses/

Omega 3

Recent studies show that Omega 3 can have significant impact on both preventing and slowing Alzheimers. NSP Super Omega contains 1000 mg of a ratio of 33:16 EPA to DHA Omega 3s. In addition it improves cardiovascular health by increasing blood vessel strength and decreasing platelet formation, increases brain function, decreases inflammation and improves mood and behaviour. Read more at: http://www.naturalpathremedies.com/blog/category/healthy-solutions/omegas/

 

Political Scene

Another Canadian Bill, this time C36 has passed, which may have harsh impact on natural health products. The natural Health Products Branch continues to threaten the rights to choose. We need to continue to write our politicians to express our wishes to have the right to choice of safe, natural products. Strange when you consider the challenges that pharmaceuticals cause. Here are some stats over 10 years old, so know that the situation is even worse now!

On July 26, 2000, the medical community received a titanic shock when one of its most respected and honored public-health experts, Dr. Barbara Starfield, revealed her findings on healthcare in America.

The landmark Starfield study, “Is US health really the best in the world?”published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, came to the following conclusions:

 

Every year in the US there are:

 

12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;

7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;

20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;

80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;

106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.

The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000.

 

This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in the US, behind   heart disease and cancer. Canada would be pretty much the same, just divide numbers by 10.

 

This means we DO need to learn how to look after ourselves better – take control of our own health via better lifestyle. This includes eating whole, unprocessed, non-modified foods, getting regular exercise, enjoying sunshine, decreasing stress, avoiding toxic pollution whether that be electro-magnetic, fluoride in our water, or negative situations, keeping hydrated with pure water, and learning to understand our bodies to prevent disease.

My book covers a lot of these essential tips, as getting better and prevention both entail many of the same steps.

Learn the simple remedies of nature, which are provided to help us.

Consider making my Annual Herbal Intensive this July a priority, so you can understand these gifts of nature, and how to use them.

This year’s 3 ½ day intensive will be either July 8-11th or July 15-18th – the first people registering will determine preference. Email for detailed poster.

 

 

Humour

 

“Proverbs 17:22 – A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. This can be taken literally. I have heard that laughter not only stimulates the liver but it also stimulates the marrow in the bones. Here’s one for your bones:

Christmas is just plain weird! What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead or plastic tree in the living room and eat candy our of your socks?

 

Spiritual and Emotional

 

Enjoy and fill your being with joy. Truly we have lots to appreciate. The more we express gratitude for what we DO have, the more we will have.

 

 

 

Raising Healthy Children

 

Have you tried any of Children’s Heroes supplements? All I can say is they ARE delicious. Another health treat that children love is the TNT bars. They are “zone” balanced, meaning healthy ratio of protein, carbohydrate and fats to keep blood sugar levels even. They also provide vitamins, minerals and fibre. Children seem to love them and they are more reasonably priced than lesser quality bars.

We use them too, especially when on the run, or if a “sweet tooth” craving comes up.

Cut them up for snacks and healthy treats!

 

All the best in 2011!

Yours in health,

CANCER AND THE NATURAL APPROACH

What to Do When You Have Become a Statistic and

Suggestions to Avoid Becoming One

Newly Diagnosed: Consider consulting with a Natural Health Consultant to help you undertake the following suggestions.  Cancer can be prevented; it can also be reversed.  It will require some lifestyle changes and some effort on your part.  Two important things to know:  (1) people do heal cancer with herbal treatments and other alternative cancer therapies, time proven remedies and (2)  know and believe that you can beat this disease.  Have positive hope, no matter what the prognosis is.  Your body is designed to heal itself and become healthy again but it needs full help from you.

An active role in your therapies will help.  Remember, it’s your body and your call.

  • Remove all toxic chemicals from your food, drinks, air, and home as well as hygienic products.  Stop adding more toxins into your body.  There is much you can do – talk to your Natural Health Care practitioner for ideas as to how and what you can do.  STOP smoking, alcohol, coffee, tea, pop, all refined sugars, are step # one.
  • Balance pH levels of acid and alkaline – greens are your main ally for this. In winter if good quality is not available, use a super balanced formula such as Green Zone.
  • Oxygenate and strengthen your blood with Liquid Chlorophyll, macro and trace minerals, EFAs, and other suggested natural supplements. (These are all part of the Paw Paw Program (see other Cancer entries)
  • If you are strong enough, a variety of cleanses may be suggested for you.  Example:  Liver/Blood, Bowel, Parasite, Lymphatic, Yeast or Heavy Metal Cleanses.
  • Add a natural bowel stimulant with or without fiber if you are not eliminating at least one bowel movement a day.  Two – three is better.  LBS II is an excellent peristalsis aid.
  • Exercise daily to move your lymphatic system.  Your lymph moves only when you do. 10 – 15 minutes two or three times a day will help.
  • Build your Immune System with herbal support such as  Astragalus, Colostrum and Silver Guard (silver sol) all powerful aids for the immune system.
  • Learn how to nourish the body without feeding the cancer cells. Super foods will make a difference.
  • Reduce stress in your life or at the very least, learn how to support your body when under a lot of stress.
  • Your body needs rest to heal.  Take rest breaks during the day and sleep for minimum 8 hours at night.
  • Drink lots of pure water.  6 – 10 glasses a day is usually a good rule to follow, based on weight and activity.  Hot water and herbal teas are also good.  Water helps flush out the toxins from your body.
  • Detoxify, build, detoxify, build – pay attention to your body to know which to do when.
  • MOST IMPORTANT:  This is the easy part.  Follow the Paw Paw program as per directions to start and increase only on the advice of your Natural Health Care Practitioner.  Depending on your cancer, you may be required to take this for 4 months – a couple of years.  Maintenance and prevention are recommended, as all people develop cancerous cell growth and we need to keep it under control.  For those who have had cancer, this is highly recommended. For more information about Paw Paw, ask your NHC.  Paw Paw is an integrative cancer approach, so can be used along with Allopathic Medical Therapy; in fact it can enhance chemotherapy effectiveness.
  • Insure your body has sufficient mineralsChinese Mineral Chi or Essential Liquid Minerals are both excellent natural sources of minerals and suggested for a long time.
  • Take Protease Plus Enzymes to help metabolize protein and help breakdown cancer cells.
  • Super Oil will help with your “internal electrical wiring”, and rebuilding healthy cell membranes.
  • Support your body with Zambroza, the strongest blend of antioxidants known to date.
  • Support the area of the body where the cancer is.  You may want to add herbs specific to your type of cancer. For example, for cancer of the prostate, support with Saw Palmetto Extract, Liver with a liver formula, as your NHC recommends.

Your Food:

  • Stay away from “white” foods.  Refer to Super Antioxidant Foods in Paw Paw book.
  • Do not drink cold water with your meals.  If you must drink with your meals, have hot or warm herbal teas, to stimulate not shut down digestion.
  • Choose organic, especially for any animal foods, which should be used sparingly.
  • Avoid dairy foods, except yogurt and butter.  Goat’s milk products are better or dairy alternatives, such as almond, barley, soy or brown rice milk.
  • Do not use the microwave.
  • Do not eat refined sugar products. Learn to recognize different names for sugar.
  • Do not eat refined wheat products; in fact no wheat at all is better!
  • Do not use canned vegetables.
  • Do Not Use chemical cleaners.
  • DO wash all fruits and vegetables in Nature’s Sunshine Concentrate.  Use it in your bath or shower, as shampoo and as your household cleaning agent.
  • DO eat as much raw or slightly steamed organic vegetables as possible. See: Super- Anti Oxidants Foods handout for suggestion, or go over these with your NHC.
  • DO read labels on food.  Know and understand how many toxins are in what is available as “food” today, including artificial sweeteners such as aspartame.

The Paw Paw program is an integrative cancer approach, meaning that it is not counter-indicated with orthodox medical treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. It can enhance the effectiveness and decrease the negative side effects of these approaches. This program is designed to enhance the natural healing abilities of your body, rather than ‘fight’ any particular disease. It is one part of a comprehensive program, including corrective diet, emotional clearing, exercise as required, proper elimination and other natural health and life building aspects.

Remember, cancer can be beaten!  Believe it!  Be proactive in your cure – do not leave it all up to the medical community – work with them to help yourself.

Cancer is considered a lifestyle condition. The healthy lifestyle suggestions in this book will go a long way in prevention of all disease.

Safe Vaccine Alternatives

Take responsibility to create better health for you and all loved ones!

The first and most important thing to say about vaccination is you don’t have to do it.

The fact is it wouldn’t occur to a lot of us to even investigate vaccinations, particularly before we experience contraindications. More recently, however, there are more and more people taking responsibility for their health. You may find the following material conflicts with messages you have been given from the allopathic medical field. Statistics are often misrepresented by inaccurate reporting and recording; making it difficult to know the truth.

The intent of this information is to remind you that you are responsible for your own health. Secondly, it is to remind you that you are more of an expert on the subject of your self and your body than any other person or group of people – it is your decision as to what is best for you. The point is you have the right and the responsibility to determine your own action.

For those new to the concept that it is your decision whether or not to vaccinate, please be aware that The Exemption for Conscience was passed on December 14, 1984. Previous to this, mandatory vaccination was practiced in Canada. Although today it is no longer mandatory to have your children vaccinated, “social marketing” is the means of imposing vaccination. The selling of an idea to the point that it becomes your own idea, even if it goes against your conscience, is what social marketing is about.

 

All drugs, prescription or over the counter, have some toxic side effects. Herbs have thousands of years use as safe, natural and effective!  Herbs have been used since the birth of humankind and still stand the test of time.

 

For a Healthy Immune System:

Follow the Four Pillars of Health: Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Emotional. More detail on these are in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A Natural Approach to Cancer , which also addresses healing most other chronic health conditions.

 

Physical:

Avoid sugar, food additives, chemicals, colourings, caffeine and junk food; they suppress immune function.

Keep the body clean (internally and externally). Cleanse spring and fall.

Eat a well-rounded diet of wholesome natural foods. Foods for the immune system are foods closest to their natural state: vegetables, fruits, some whole grains (sprouted), nuts and seeds.

Herbs are concentrated powerhouses of nutrition: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and all the phytochemicals that scientists will never finish discovering.

Herbs promote optimum health when used on a daily basis according to your needs and the seasons. Quality herbs used properly are also safe remedies when you are sick.

Avoid using antibiotics and synthetic drugs, as they are toxic to humans. If you feel antibiotics are necessary, replace colonic bacteria with good quality probiotics.

Reduce meat, egg and processed grains. These foods contribute to mucous production. Change the last “a” in pasta to “e” and what do you get?  Paste!

Get regular moderate exercise.

Practice deep abdominal breathing.

Seek clean air and sun. Don’t smoke. Avoid inhaling second-hand smoke.

 

Mental, Spiritual and Emotional:

Maintain a positive mental attitude. Research has shown that a positive mental attitude and having goals, plans, dreams, hope and faith result in a stronger immune system.

Stress is a major cause of a suppressed immune system. Learn to reduce it where possible and where not, manage it effectively.

Develop loving relationships with other people that build up your self worth.

Cry and let go of a loved one; grieve, feel your feelings. Learn to express anger constructively and in safe ways. People who suppress their feelings may be prone to having a hiatal hernia, which leads to digestive system breakdown and overall health challenges.

Keep educating yourself and ask questions.

The above four aspects of our health cannot be separated,  if one hopes to achieve optimum health.

If you have already had vaccinations……..

or if after researching about immunizations, you still decide to use them, the following herbs and combinations can help counteract some of the negative effects. These formulations also help keep the immune system strong and healthy, thus providing a safe alternative to vaccines:

HRP-C (CA)  / VS-C (US) to kill viruses and remove toxins, especially from the liver. This can be used as successful treatment for ALL viruses, including herpes; as well as taken as a preventive during cold/flu season.

Heavy Metal Detox to cleanse blood of mercury, formaldehyde, and other toxins in vaccines. Supports the liver and provides essential minerals.

Cat’s Claw Combination with Astragalus and Echinacea to kill bacteria and infections; helps lymphatic drainage.

Golden Seal & Echinacea as Goldenseal can help the body kill Hepatitis B virus from the vaccine.

Oregon Grape as natural antibiotic and immune system strengthener. A specific for staph infections with special affinity for skin conditions.

Silver Guard has research to show it can kill over 600 strains of bacteria and viruses. Once in the blood, it can help prevent most infectious pathogens. Labelled as a mouthwash due to Health Canada absurdity, it is #1 for infection. By all means use it as a mouthwash to prevent tooth and gum infection, but then swallow it so it can continue promoting health throughout your body.

Ginkgo biloba: Benefits to brain, stroke prevention and treatment and other CV challenges

The herb Ginkgo biloba has a long history as the ultimate brain and memory booster. In China it is considered the Tree of Longevity, some trees living to more than 1000 years old. Significant research has shown it can also protect you from brain damage after a stroke, as well as aiding in prevention of all cardiovascular challenges.

The American Stroke Association says strokes can occur when a clot blocks or bursts a blood vessel to the brain. This damage prevents your brain from getting the blood and oxygen it needs. When your brain is starved of life-giving oxygen, it could lead to seizures, vision problems, memory and speech loss, or paralysis.

According to research completed at Johns Hopkins University there is evidence that Ginkgo biloba may neutralize cell-damaging free radicals.  A research team gave mice daily doses of Ginkgo biloba extract. The mice then had a laboratory-induced stroke. The researchers found these mice suffered about half the brain damage as animals not given the ginkgo.

They also found that mice that were give ginkgo five minutes after the induced stroke sustained nearly 60 percent less brain damage the day after the stroke than those not given ginkgo at all. And when mice received ginkgo 4 1/2 hours after a stroke—they still showed about a third less damage than those not given ginkgo!

“If further work confirms what we’ve seen, we could theoretically recommend a daily regimen of ginkgo to people at high risk of stroke as a preventive measure against brain damage,” said lead researcher Sylvain Dore, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine.

Gingko has also been used to improve concentration and memory, Raynaud’s, and is an effective blood thinner for stroke prevention.

The Ginkgo biloba that I use is a time released concentrate, which is very potent and effective. Contact our office to learn how to order this potent Gingko Biloba.

Omega Oils: Why Do You Need Them ?

WHY HAVE OMEGAS aka FISH OILS IN YOUR DIET?

FISH OIL MAY HELP RELIEVE STUBBORN DEPRESSION

Daily supplements of  omega-3 fatty acid–found in fish and fish oil–may help alleviate the symptoms of depression in patients who do not respond to standard antidepressant medications, new research findings suggest.

Studies done in England  found that depressed patients who received a daily dose of 1000 mg of an omega-3 fatty acid for 12 weeks experienced a decrease in their
symptoms, such as sadness, anxiety and sleeping problems.

All of the patients had tried other medications before enrolling in the
study, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
such as Prozac and tricyclic antidepressants., both considered standard
treatments for depression.

This is not the first study to suggest that omega-3 fatty acids, such as the
form of eicosapenaenoic acid (EPA) used in this study, may help patients
with psychiatric disorders. Previous researchers have suggested that the
balance of omega-3 fatty acids in the brain may become skewed in people with
depression, and earlier studies have shown that fish oil supplements can
help alleviate the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, or manic
depression.

People who are depressed, as well as those diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases have relatively low levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood.

Balancing Omega 3and 6 EFAs requires a little education on essential fatty acids.
Your most important fatty acids are your omega-3s and your omega-
6s. The body requires a proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6
essential fatty acids. Flax seed oil contains a balance of these
two essential fatty acids. Most vegetable oils only contain omega-6 oils.
Ingesting too much omega-6 with too little omega-3 creates a
tendency towards inflammation, high blood pressure and other
imbalances.

Most North Americans ingest too much omega-6 and get very
little omega-3. Taking flax seed oil won’t counterbalance this. Most
people need  extra omega-3 to balance the vegetable oils in their diet. The only  reliable sources of omega-3 are wild game, and wild deep ocean fish such as salmon – farm raised does not cut it!

So, fish oil supplements will give you the extra omega-3 your body needs. In a nutshell, these are some of the basic functions of Omega 3’s and 6’s.

Main Functions of Omega 3EFAs:

  • Cell structure and function (central nervous system, brain, eyes & retinal function)
  • Ratio and disposition of blood cholesterol & triglycerides
  • Blood chemistry & clotting mechanism
  • Inflammatory response of the immune system

(More men than women have an O-3 deficiency.  Key symptoms include acne, low sperm count & other testicle problems, dangerous behavior)

Main Functions of Omega 6 EFAs:

  • Cell structure & function (cellular membrane fluidity, flexibility, metabolic function)
  • Dermal fluid permeability and kidney function
  • Endocrine balance (metabolism, immune function, reproduction)
  • Circulation

Contact Benoit Health Education to get omega’s that are tested for purity and strength. We work with Flax Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Super Omega 3’s and a combination oil called Super Oil. We can help you figure out the best one for your needs.

Restless Leg Syndrome


WHAT IS IT? Restless Leg Syndrome, or RLS, can affect up to 20% of the population. It is also known as Kborn’s syndrome. It usually begins shortly after one goes to bed and can involve sensations including itching  or crawling skin, pins and needles, cramping, jerking, or thrashing. Obviously it affects one’s ability to attain a restful night’s sleep with adequate REM time. (Rapid Eye Movement).  Unlike leg cramps, RLS is not usually stopped by gentle stretching or massaging.

RECOMMENDATIONS: As with all health challenges, the Four Pillars of Health need to be considered. These are covered in Chapter 6 of  Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – The “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally. These are critical to optimum health and prevention of all chronic conditions and diseases !

 

1. Nutrition

Follow Healthy Diet, ensuring that enough alkalinizing, vitamin rich vegetables are being consumed daily. Avoid nutrient-depleting foods, such as all sugars or all processed foods. These create an acid environment, which can cause widespread health conditions.    Positive life-long dietary changes can promote ongoing health and build the immune system. Look at broadening your healthy food choices, by adding new vegetables you have not tried before. If one is not consuming adequate vegetables, consider adding 1-3 tsp. Of GreenZone into your diet.

2. Exercise

Choose a form of exercise that suits your lifestyle, your interests and level of health, then  stick with it. Relaxing exercise such as yoga is excellent with RLS. This or any other form of gentle stretching and relaxation in the evening may help.

3. Emotional

Think positively as you begin taking the steps to improve your own health and you will reap the benefits. Practice mental relaxation or read meditative content before bed.

4. Supplementation

Herbs are nutrient–dense powerhouses which provide support to all body systems.

SUPPLEMENTS OF CHOICE :

  • HVP: This herbal combination of Hops, Valerian and Passion Flower provides nutrition to relax muscles and improve sleep. 2 – 4  during the day (depending on how much stress is in your life) and 2-3 before bedtime, with a warm cup of relaxing tea. HVP is particularly beneficial to individuals who awake repeatedly during the night due to nervous tension or an overactive mind.
  • Calc-Mag & D: a balanced formula in a herbal base that ensures absorption of these essential minerals.  1 with each meal and 1-2 at bedtime until symptoms decrease, then  gradually decrease.
  • Magnesium: additional Magnesium can make a world of difference. Besides being essential for many metabolic processes, Magnesium promotes muscle relaxation. Take 2 – 6 NSP capsules per day (at least 2 of those with evening Cal Mag) until improvement is evident. Once saturation is achieved, one will need less.
  • Melatonin: 1 capsule before bed helps many people sleep more soundly. Besides aiding sleep, this hormone also plays a vital role in aging and energy. As people age, they produce less melatonin. This formula contains Gingko extract for circulation, Siberian Ginseng to help reduce stress and aging effects, (an adaptogenic) and 30 IU Vit. E.

All the above supplements and more are listed alphabetically and easy to locate for more information and prices.

 

Other Considerations and Aids:

  • Warm bath with Epsom salts with 6-10 drops of therapeutic grade Lavender Oil can help relaxation.
  • Decrease or eliminate any caffeine beverages, such as caffeine, black tea or colas. Absolutely none after 4 pm. Replace with Rooibos, Chamomile or other relaxing herbal – caffeine free tea.
  • Smoking decreases blood flow to large muscles and is absolutely contraindicated.
  • If no improvement is noted, have a complete physical to rule out other conditions, such as thyroid, kidney, diabetes. Check blood iron levels – ferritin to ensure this is within range. If low, take I-X, a herbal iron formula, until within normal range.
  • If condition has existed for sometime, be patient with your body’s ability to heal.
