We deliver our products to all parts of the world and our main offices
are in the U.S.A. and the U.K. This newsletter will bring you information
about organic and alternative health methods. Sometimes, we bring you
articles from independent health researchers which may contain information
and methods not usually employed by the mainstream health profession.
However, each writers' research shows that they are routinely effective
in the hands of independent minded individuals seeking answers and taking
responsibility for their own health and the well-being of others.
A selection of some of our previous issues can be found at http://www.organicnutrition.co.uk/newsletter/earlier-newsletters.htm

1) DON'T LET PRODUCT LABELS DECEIVE YOU!
Can we really believe what the labels on our favourite foods tell us?
Manufacturers and supermarkets are always keen to convince us that their
brand is healthier or fat free, or natural, purer or better for us. For
example, are those 90 % fat free and "Healthier Choice" products as good
as they claim?
Recent research by the Consumers Association (CA) and the Food Commission
(health watchdogs) has shown how misleading food labelling can be. Claims
such as being light, natural, traditional and reduced fat are used to
convince us that the food is healthy, but in reality these terms have
no legal meaning. They are the attractive wrapping and wording placed
on the cartons to get us to buy!
Further examples:
Breakfast cereals:
An inspection of ten top products from well known companies found that
many of the products were nutritionally equivalent to chocolate chip cookies
or chocolate cake. So much for a healthy start to the day! The cereal
products contained fat levels of up to 20% (with saturated fat up to 12%)
and sugar levels of up to 30%.
In comparison, chocolate chip cookies were 24% fat (with 12% saturated
fat) and 22% sugar. Chocolate cake was 10% fat (with 6% saturated fat)
and 34% sugar.
As a general rule you should try to avoid products containing more than
15% fat if you are trying to reduce calories and lose weight. When buying
go for the traditional unsweetened muesli. Products which contain rolled
oats, wheat flakes and real unsugared whole fruit, such as raisins, apricots,
or hazelnuts.
And most importantly, do not buy any product that contains GMO (Genetically
Modified Organisms).
A very successful way to lose weight is to simply eat fruit in the mornings
and perhaps drink a small glass of superfood
with some juice. This will supply the quality nutrients that help you
to avoid feeling hungry.
Drinks:
Fruit Juices are a minefield of misleading information. Manufactures can
get away with adding a wide range of sweeteners, flavours and additives
if they call it a "Juice Drink". Some Juice Drinks contain as little as
5% to 10% real fruit juice. The rest is water, sugar, etc, and they do
not have to have to say so on the label!
You should also avoid products which say "Concentrate" or "Made from Concentrated……"
These drinks quickly become acidic in the body and can put unnecessary
strain on the body by upsetting the balance of the digestive system.
Did you know that some sweetened fruit juices can contain as much sugar
as cola? Regulations state that a sweetened fruit juice can contain a
maximum of 15g of sugar per litre of pure, unsweetened fruit juice. On
the other hand a "sugar free" food can be sweetened with no more than
0.15g of sugar per 100g or 100ml.
However, be careful of most artificial sweeteners, many people have allergic
reactions varying from quite mild to occasionally severe. In all cases
though these can be toxic to the body to some degree. The safest and surest
option is to buy freshly squeezed fruit juice. Usually chilled, and not
heat-treated. Look out for anything that is 100% pure fruit, unsweetened
and undiluted.
Prepared Meals:
Nothing can actually beat a meal cooked yourself from fresh, preferably
organic ingredients. Freshly steamed vegetables added to your meat/or
vegetarian alternative, should provide you with many of the vitamins and
nutrients you need. However this is not always possible! Hence the increase
in ready-made-meals.
Supermarkets promise low fat and fast preparation time. But don't be misled.
Check the labels and you may be surprised to see some many high fat levels
per serving or per each 100grams. Many of these ready made meals are designed
to be microwaved for convenience. This is not recommended, but that is
a topic for a future newsletter.
Unfortunately you have to look very closely at the label to be sure of
what you are actually eating. This might seem like a bit of a drag, but
if you do this each time you shop for a few weeks, you will very quickly
learn what the labels are saying and you will be able to make an educated
choice instead of believing what a marketing "expert" says.

2) DETOX 1 & 2.
Detoxification of the body is vital to a healthy and energetic life. Waste
and toxins accumulate in the intestines and fat cells and can lead to
improper functioning of the body.
Our Detox 1 & 2 program will clean out your digestive system, removing
old faecal matter trapped in bowel pockets and coating the walls of your
system. It is VERY important to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water
a day whilst on the detox program, especially the second stage as this
will make the system work more effectively.
The Detox Program is divided into two parts.
Detox 1:
Contrary to some beliefs one bowel movement a day is not enough! You should
pass faecal matter at least 2 to 3 times a day, (approximately one movement
for each meal eaten)! Stage 1 of the detox gets your movements more regular
and gets the digestive muscles working.
Stage 1 consists of a stimulating formula which is both cleansing and
strengthening to the entire system. It works by stimulating your peristaltic
action (the muscular movements) and over time strengthens the muscles.
Detox 2:
After several days, once you are more frequent with your movements you
start Detox 2: Detox 2's formula is a strong purifier and cleanser. This
formula can draw old faecal matter off the walls of your system. Its absorbent
properties will help soften old hardened faecal matter for easy removal.
Tests have shown that your body can eliminate poisons, toxins, parasites
and heavy metals such as mercury and lead. There are nine ingredients
in Detox 2 but lets take one for example - organic psyllium. Psyllium
husks and psyllium seeds contain a fibre called mucilage.
Mucilage absorbs a great deal of fluid in the gut, the seeds swell and
add bulk to the stool. This bulk presses on the walls of the digestive
system, inducing the muscles to contract and the stool is passed. It is
very important to drink at least eight full glasses of water a day, or
the digestive track will become blocked and uncomfortable.
Psyllium also removes the sticky mucus and toxins from the system. They
reduce acidity and increase urine flow.
Start your Detox this week! No special diet is needed. Most people decide
to make minor changes to their existing diet, such as no junk food for
a couple of weeks whilst doing the program. Apart from that nothing further
is needed.
One of the side benefits of doing a detox program is the weight loss that
many people experience.

3) NEW: DETOX 3
We are very pleased to be able to now supply you with the latest Detox
Program.
Detox 3 addresses the blood cleansing organs. It is a 5 day program and
is best done after completing Detox 1 & 2 (see Combining Detox 1 & 2 with
Detox 3 & 4 in this Newsletter). But this is optional.
Detox 3 is the perfect continuation to cleaning and flushing toxic build-ups
out of your body. The program is broken down into:
A) Two-day purifying Raw Food Program
B) Three day juice fast. During which a cleansing tea is taken in combination
with a specially formulated tincture ( liquid herbal extract ).
Some of the chemicals in the herbs are water-soluble and others are best
extracted in the tincture, hence the important combination of the two
formulas. You are supplied with a Full Instruction sheet to take you through
each day of the program. Clearly listing what to take and when. This program
does restrict the types of food you will be eating, NOT the amount.
If you are hungry at any point during this detoxification program, drink
and / or eat more of the listed foods. The more you eat and drink the
more you will flush the toxins out of your body. It is as always very
important to drink a lot of pure water.
Your nutrition is particularly important during Detox 3. It is recommended
that you also take Superfood
and Super Tonic. We
have created a special offer to launch these new products. The complete
Detox kit, Superfood, Supertonic and instructions can now be purchased
at a discount of over 20%.
Visit: http://www.organicnutrition.co.uk/detox-diet-special-offer.htm
for more details.
This program will require some time out of your normal schedule. We therefore
recommend you arrange a few days holiday or a long weekend in which to
do this 5-day program.
The liver is the largest glandular organ in the human body. It is the
main detoxifier and cleanser of your blood. The Liver is being constantly
bombarded with toxins and is usually battling to handle them. Substances
that cannot be used in the body, such as these toxins, are stored in the
liver and gall bladder. Solid, calcified matter builds up as gall stones
both in the liver and gall bladder.
Eventually, the liver is unable to function properly and symptoms of a
malfunctioning liver appear in the body. These can range from digestive
problems to Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver). Many skin conditions,
especially Psoriasis can be caused by a liver malfunction. If you are
just feeling a bit "off colour", the health of your liver is the first
place to check.
Start your cleanse!!!

offer. Click the following link for more information: http://www.organicnutrition.co.uk/detox-diet-special-offer.htm

4) NEW: DETOX 4
Detox 4 is a program you can do to cleanse your body's filtration system.
It is important to ensure that accumulated calcium deposits, which many
people have, are reduced to comfortable levels.
It is a 5 day program and is best done after completing Detox 1 & 2 (see
Combining Detox 1 & 2 with Detox 3 & 4 in this Newsletter). But this is
optional.
Like Detox 3, Detox 4 is broken down into:
A) Two-day purifying Raw Food Program
B) Three day juice fast. During which a cleansing tea is taken in combination
with a specially formulated tincture ( liquid herbal extract ). This is
the best way to take the herbs as you end up with a full spectrum array
of the chemicals in the herbs.
The Detox 4 program also contains a Flush, taken each morning. The flush
is made up of lemon and lime juice, water, cayenne pepper and honey (to
taste). You are supplied with a Full Instruction sheet to take you through
each day of the program. Clearly listing what to take and when!
The two Kidneys are part of the urinary system and are two of the most
important internal organs in the body. They are responsible for filtering
the blood, regulating the urinary system and producing hormones. They
are extremely efficient and complex organs.
In today's society, due to the toxic nature of our world, kidneys are
overworked and often end up themselves heavily infected, inflamed or with
crystalline growths or kidney stones. An infected or calcified kidney
sometimes manifests itself in lower back pains. However, because the Kidneys
are "silent", a person may not be aware that they have a kidney problem
until more severe problems become apparent.

5) COMBINING DETOX 1 & 2 WITH DETOX 3 & 4
Detox 1 & 2 are used together in a program which on average takes 2 weeks.
There is no special diet whilst doing Detox 1 and 2. However, it is recommended
that you avoid as much junk food as possible and to ensure you drink sufficient
water as per the program instructions.
Detox 3 & 4 can be done without having done 1 & 2 but we strongly recommend
Detox 1 & 2 is done first for best results. The order of Detox 3 and 4
may be changed. Detox 4 may be done before Detox 3 if that is your priority.
There are slightly stricter diet recommendations on Detox 3 & 4 for technical
reasons and these are clearly highlighted in the instructions.
Duration:
Detox 1 & 2 approximately 2 weeks
Detox 3 approximately 5 days
Detox 4 approximately 5 days
If you need any help regarding the Detox programs please don't hesitate
in contacting us.
