Update:
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer ….. the last month + on the west coast has been amazing sunshine! Bordering on drought and heatstroke, but frequent dips in the Cowichan River keep us cool.
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.
My book which will be about 250 pages of information on natural approaches to cancer, including the Paw Paw program, dietary suggestions, lifestyle changes and more, should be out by October – hopefully in time for NSP Convention in Lake Louise. The price will be $29.95, plus S/H. SPECIAL OFFER: If you order 2 books by September 15th, you will receive 1 FREE. That works out to a special price of only $20.00 per book. Phone or email our office to take advantage of this offer.

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.

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
