Annual Herbal Intensive 2011 a Success! 
Our Annual Herbal Intensive was busy and full of stewing and brewing. As we had typical West Coast winter weather, (not at all typical for July!),  picking and identifying had to fit in between sun and rain spells. Despite this we learned how to identify, harvest, store, prepare and use over 30 herbs on this 5 Acre property! Click here to read more

Skin Cancer and Paw Paw
Question from Vicki regarding treatment of skin cancer: “I have been treating skin cancer, basal cell with iodine with pretty good success but the cancer cells are very crafty and they are using my blood to move around my body.  I have just started drinking the juice from the mexican fruit guanabana.  I am getting significant better but I feel the cancer cells are not going to leave me alone.  What is this paw paw stuff?” Click here to read more

Special Offer on Bodywork- local
I am offering a special opportunity to my clients to take advantage of an introductory treatment from a visiting European therapist. Tanja is offering a limited number of sessions of DSR Fridays Sept. 2, 9th, and 16 and Tuesdays 6th, and 13th in my office. . I have had a treatment and found it to be very relaxing. Please call our office, 250-748-6802, or email her directly to book a 45 minute appointment. Payment is by voluntary contribution. curverstanja@hotmail.com

Derma Segmental Reflexology – DSR deep massage
DSR is a powerful deep massage without any use of oil or lotion. It increases the blood flow, oxygen and nutrient supply. This will release stress and tension in muscles and tissues, while stimulating blood flow to the organs. Toxins stored in fat cells are released with DSR treatment, thereby decreasing the risks of functional disturbances. The DSR massage focuses on the increase of the blood flow, so the muscles get their flexibility back and pain is relieved.
Benefit to you
Pain, stiffness and cramping for many people tend to manifest especially in the neck, shoulder and lower back areas, which can result in spinal deformities. DSR helps to relive this, contributing to greater comfort and an overall feeling of wellness.

Health Tips
First Aid for Burns: Silver Gel heals and prevents infection. If area is too sensitive to apply Gel, Silver Guard as a spray is amazing. Dr. Pedersen has pictures, somewhat gross to look at, of an 80+ year old woman with 3rd degree burns to both legs – completely healed with no scarring using liquid silver Guard as a spray. If you do not have silver on hand, which every household should have, here is a home remedy that is almost as effective. Spray cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced and the skin stops burning. Then spread egg whites on the affected area. If you can, beat them slightly then apply. The whites when dried and form a protective layer of natural collagen. Continue for at least one hour applying layer upon layer of beaten egg whites. Pain and scarring are reduced and skin regeneration enhanced by both of these treatments.

Wasp Stings: Keep Tei Fu Oil on hand and apply a couple of drops immediately – stops pain and prevents reactions, even in those sensitive. Works on most bites, including spider, bees, mosquitoes.

Video Picks
Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business http://vimeo.com/24821365 – fairly long, but it outlines the harassment of Dr. Burzynsky who has had one alternative to medical cancer treatments for years. If you don’t have much time, at least watch the first 3 minutes. 

RAID BY FDA: Aug. 2, 2011 a short 7 minute video showing something absolutely ridiculous – unfortunately raids like this are also happening in Canada. This is one reason we need to take control of our own health. On link below, search : Rawesome Foods Raid:

Articles added to our blog since the last newsletter, with direct link:

Allergies:
To help a person who has allergy problems, one must play detective. There are several body systems which may need to be addressed to solve the riddle. Determining which one or ones are the priorities can help to find quicker resolution. Every person is an individual, and although there are some herbs which will help many people most of the time, there are more severe or stubborn cases, where some sleuthing can make a difference quicker and with longer lasting benefits.

The systems that we assess for allergies are digestive, eliminative, respiratory, urinary and hepatic or liver. Our marvellous liver performs over 500 functions, so for those who are challenged with allergies, the liver is certainly one of the organs to check out. Let’s look briefly at the other systems first, by learning some of the clues as to which system is trying to tell you something. Click here to read more

Muscle Testing:
Muscle Response Testing, or MRT, is based on the principle that there is an energy field which flows around and through all things. The Chinese call this energy CHI. Like a magnet creating a magnetic field, which holds iron filings in a certain pattern, the CHI creates a field which holds the cells of our body in alignment. In muscle response testing we are checking the strength or weakness of the body’s energy field. It is a method of measuring the body’s energy balance. Click here to read more

Weight Loss and HCG:
Response to question: I have done some research and have come up with several opinions which  feel the HCG component is a placebo affect. This makes sense as anytime a person cleans up their diet, and decreases their caloric and carbohydrate intake, they will lose weight! Click here to read more

PhytoTherapy and Hormones:
Many women using synthetic hormones stopped when the Nurse’s Initiative published the negative side effects. Now more women use natural treatments to help with hormonal challenges, ranging from acne to weight gain and hot flashes.

Phytotherapy is the use of plants, either from food or herbs, for healing purposes. Phytotherapy is a wonderful alternative for hormonal balance because it works with your body to give you what you need, and has a proven track record of safety and efficacy. Click here to read more

Political Scene

If some people actually think there have been deaths from vitamins… which of course is ridiculous because the very word means “Vital Minerals”, please direct them to this one article. It is an excellent backup for those of us who find ourselves struggling to convince people… the article clearly shows that there has not been ONE proven death from natural products in the last 27 YEARS.

Compare this to the annual deaths reported by government agencies on deaths from adverse effects of drugs – in the USit is now over 160,000 per year! (Canadawould be roughly 1/10 of that figure).

More than 2,000 vaccinated babies died: The cost of doing businesshttp://www.naturalnews.com/z031820_vaccinations_babies.html

Risk of infant mortality linked to more vaccines:

Spiritual and Emotional

It was Tagore who said, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy.  I awoke and saw that life was service.  I acted and behold, service was joy.”

To do the thing that is yours to do today, that’s service.  As we do the thing that is ours to do today, there is joy.  We can act from that joy and live in a state of joy.

It was Charles Fillmore, the founder of the Unity religion, who on his 90th birthday wrote this affirmation:  “I spring out of bed and fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm and go forth this day to do the things that ought to be done by me.”

Health Tip
Have a healthy happy summer storing up your Vit. D3 – sun is good for you in moderation. Protect yourself with clothing and shade, rather than sunscreen, especially between 10am and 2 pm.

Yours in health,

We had three fabulous days of sunshine for our Annual Herbal Intensive with attendees from Edmonton, Vancouver, and Nova Scotia. Mark your calendar for the next one July 8- 11, 2011. We had fun making tinctures, oils, vinegars, Tinctracts of Heal All, (Prunella vulgaris), Mullein, Burdock, Vervain, a wonderful healing salve, and more. We infused, decocted, poulticed, made green drinks, tooth gel, aromatherapy spritzers, and learned many ways to utilize herbs to their best advantage.

A garden angel named Monica came and helped us for a month, so there were not really that many lazy days around here, as we spent hours in the garden. Between this and working on final edits for my book, The Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer, has kept me busy, so you did not miss a July newsletter, as there wasn’t one.

Success Stories

Weight Loss and Energy:

People are loving the NEW! Solstic Slim – enhanced weight loss with Grape, Yerba Mate, Green Tea & Damiana with natural Huckleberry flavour.

Both Solstics come in a box of 30 for $30 retail – members cost less – and each stick is good for 500 mls (2 cups).

Energy, tremors, diabetes:

I felt so exhausted all summer with no energy, no appetite, & bad tremors, it was quite scary.  All the medical tests I had done came back normal, including those ordered by the 3 specialists I was sent to.  On my own I finally decided to start taking adrenal support capsules & zambroza as I have been on thyroid medication since I was 9 years old & I have been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years and both those conditions are related to the adrenal gland.  I am very happy to report that I started feeling better and could function again within 3 or 4 days of taking the adrenal support capsules & zambroza and it was wonderful and such a relief.  Obviously those capsules are another excellent product as they sure helped me.

Sincerely,

R C

Healthy Baby
Well it was a great pleasure producing such a healthy baby and being asked why I didn’t have stretch marks, why my varicose veins were nearly gone etc. I attribute that to good nutrition and the NSP supplements I have been taking for years.

Here is the list, some of which I would like to now continue to stay healthy with the new babe:

HSN (Hair Skin & Nails)
Marshmallow pepsin
Cal Mag  & D
Super-vits and min
Green Zone
Liquid Chi mineral Chi Tonic
Liquid chlorophyll

I have been drinking a cup of nettle and raspberry leaf tea everyday.  I was having mild signs of pre-eclampsia and my midwife here in Kelowna had me drink lemon water and nettle tea everyday.  Within about a week things started to settle down.  Too cool.  I also started having trouble with clotting.  I would get a simple blood test done and I would bleed and bleed and bleed.  I am hoping that the nettle tea will help with that since it has Vit K, is that right?  So, I will get the 5W (a US product available through Benoit Health) and then I will take the bottle to Jane.  My pregnancy hasn’t exactly been smooth so I am cautious. I just want to do what is best for baby and me. I started having contractions at about 22 weeks.  But I am now 31 weeks!  Yipee!!!  We will stay connected and I hope you are well.

Take care, Elana

Political Scene

Good time to contact your local MP about opposing Bill C-36, especially if they are Liberal, and likely to vote in favour of this bill that harbours possible devasting effects on our rights to choice in health care. Natural supplements are already over regulated, even though their history of safety far surpasses that of drugs.

http://vimeo.com/13024940

20 minutes, but the first 10 mins. tells all. IF you watch the last portion, about a natural supplement offering help for bipolar, contact me if you would like more info on how NSP’s Super Vitamins and Minerals in high dosages (like 6 per day) can turn a person’s emotional state around.

Removing natural products would harm millions of people

It is difficult to understand how Canadians would be served by subjecting NHPs to consumer protection legislation which is not structured to regulate health products.

NHPs are not being driven off of the market by Health Canada for safety concerns. As far as I am aware, there has never been a documented death caused by a natural health product in our 143 years as a country. This does not mean that NHPs do not carry a risk. Risk is, however, relative. We know for example that nuts and shellfish cause a number of deaths and hospitalizations each year. It is a statistical fact that NHPs for which we cannot point to a single documented death in all of our history, are safer than peanut butter and shrimp which cause a number of deaths each year.

If the government were really concerned for our safety, they should be petitioning the minister for stricter regulation of peanut butter rather than of NHPs.

Perhaps one of the more sobering opinions comes from Dr. Marcia Angell in her article, Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption, where she writes: “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”

Anf rom ~Dr. Abram Hoffer MD PHD FRCP(C) : “For the past fifty years I have been demonstrating that the use of natural nutritional treatment is and must be the most effective form of medicine and that when it is not used and the profession depends soley on the use of toxic drugs the results are abysmal.”

Spiritual and Emotional Tips

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE with…an Attitude Free Zone
We all make a difference somewhere, somehow, every single day. The question is, “What kind of difference do we make?”

Making a difference is the lifeblood of one’s existence and therefore of any organization we work for or contribute to. Everything flows from it and is nourished by it …it’s an attitude.

To create alignment between yourself and an individual that is problematic for you, the very best place to begin is with Behavior Modification’s #1 Rule: Before you can change anyone else you must first change yourself. So, what do you need to change? Your attitude!

Before you can change anyone else…. you must first change yourself

You simply cannot have an attitude and keep it a secret! If you don’t like an individual, you will not be able to work with them harmoniously or successfully. Your attitude determines whether you are a divider or a unifier. You cannot create synergy from constant discord and fault finding. While you may have concrete evidence that “they” are the problem, without taking the initiative to connect with them from a non-adversarial position you are in fact participating in the problem. You are either contaminating or contributing to an outcome based on what you’ve decided about any given individual or situation.

If you want an immediate improvement, you must be willing change your attitude: fear, judgments, entitlement, prejudices and condescending labels. In doing this you change your attitudinal energy for the better and this will positively impact and heal unproductive behaviors, seeing better and faster results than you could have imagined.

Change your attitude, and you shift the resistant energy between you and another quickly and in an easy, relaxed manner. The “energy” of your attitude is — and always will be – the key factor to the success of your interpersonal experiences.

How do you get to alignment? Get really honest with yourself, “What have I really decided about this person?” After you see how you’ve labeled them, simply decide to pull that attitude of yours back in to your own energy zone. Suspend judgment and you literally make an energetic safe space: an Attitude Free Zone – or AFZ as I like to call it – in an instant. When you do this, you are changing yourself and will powerfully and energetically influence what is happening between you and others involved in a productive direction.

If you don’t like something, change it.
If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

– Maya Angelou     Section 5: pg 82

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”    Max Planck, father of the quantum physics

One of our special people, Marie Augustine, who has had remarkable success with healing her “incurable cancer”, has been very excited to share her story. Her enthusiasm has inspired me to finally get another small book together which will include some general health tips, as well as specifics which can give hope and help to people dealing with cancer. I will let you know when this is ready.
We are planning some events where Marie wants to share her story, and likely some conference calls for those not close. STAY TUNED! If you are willing to share YOUR story of healing, in order to give others hope, please contact us ASAP, or just email the office – emails at end of this newsletter.
Other courses on request are Muscle Response Testing and Aromatherapy – if you have interests or  requests, just drop us an email or leave a message at 250-748-6802. If you would like to plan a course in your area, please contact us.
