Here is a quote from a very famous health practitioner of yesteryear.
It is blunt and straight to the point but it makes sense:
"
As I see it every day you do one of two things:
build health or produce disease in yourself." - Adelle Davis

This newsletter is NEVER sent to anyone who has not requested it. Everyone,
including us, gets far too much S*P*A*M everyday. Major online companies
such as AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft are trying to stop this from getting

by mistake. This could continue until they resolve the computer programming
necessary. We aim to send out a newsletter at least once a month. If ever

1) Hayfever Season - Easing the Problem
As the days lengthen in the Northern Hemisphere and the days grow warmer,
the lovely Spring should turn into a glorious Summer. The flowers will
bloom and the warm summer winds will spread nature's pollen far and wide.
With the inevitable approach of the "Hayfever Season" many of us are bracing
ourselves for the endless streaming eyes and noses.
The blocked sinuses, scratchy eyes and itchy noses can sometimes be eased
with over the counter medications. There are many pharmaceutical drugs,
which will suppress all the symptoms of hayfever giving permanent or temporary
relief. However, there are often side effects.
But what of those of us who want a safe and natural alternative, a solution
that will work naturally with our bodies to help overcome the Hayfever.
There are many natural remedies available to deal with Hayfever, some
more effective than others. Very often it is a combination of different
herbs and how they are taken that can provide an effective defence against
Hayfever.
Over the next few newsletters different herbal remedies will be looked
at. The case for each herb will be put forward for you to study.
Nettle:
Nettle tea offers great relief to hayfever symptoms. This is probably
due to the nettle's antihistamine qualities. There are numerous other
uses. You can even pick a few nettle leaves from your garden (wearing
gloves) and wash them under the tap. Put them into a tea pot and poor
in boiling water from the kettle. Allow to stand for a few minutes and
then pour out using a tea strainer. If you find the taste quite strong,
use fewer leaves to start off with. The tea tastes quite nice and can
offer great relief.
Once the hot water hits the nettle leaves, the sting is totally ineffective
and harmeless. Just make sure the leaves you pick have not been sprayed
with chemicals etc.
If you don't have the time, or want a more convenient organic solution
then you can easily order our nettle products online or by telephone or
mail.
Lemon Balm and Echinacea
Lemon Balm and echinacea also have good antiviral and anti-histamine properties.
Also, Lemon Balm has been in the news a lot recently regarding its positive
effects on memory as well.
Other help
Don't confine yourself just to supplements. Garlic, fresh papaya, fresh
orange juice, bell pepper, cayenne pepper, poke weed shoots, guava and
watercress are all high in natural vitamin C. Food supplements of Nettle
tincture (Urtica dioica) are an excellent idea. For centuries, cultures
around the world have used this herb.
Garlic and Onion should be added to the diet in generous amounts. These
plants have high concentrations of compounds such as quercetin, which
retard inflammation reactions so may be of benefit. Garlic is a wonderful
boost and fights off infection and helps maintain a healthy heart. Many
people prefer to take Garlic supplements.
Another possibility is to reduce the amount of wheat you eat. There is
growing evidence that wheat allergies and hayfever allergies may be linked
somehow. The best test is to cut out wheat from your diet for a week or
two and see if the hayfever gets any better. Wheat can be found in a lot
of things so you would have to double check the labels. Obvious wheat
sources are bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, pastries and cakes.

2) Aspartame - Is it Safe?
There is a great deal of information about Aspartame on the internet.
It is one of the most controvertial chemical additives to the world's
foods and drinks products. Our own decision is that we won't eat products
with Aspartame in them. The negative information is too overwhelming to
be ignored.
Do your own research to decide for yourself whether or not you should
be concerned. The other factor that we uncovered is that the owners of
this additive have also undertaken huge research projects into Genetically
Modified Foods and in fact now sell a large proportion of the world's
Genetically Modified Organisms. No further comment is needed.

3) New Weight Loss Answer - (Less than 2 weeks away)
We have been in the health industry for quite a number of years. One of
the most common requests we get is for help in losing weight or help with
problems often brought about by being over weight.
We believe one of the biggest health problems facing the western world
is the problem of excessive weight and obesity. These statistics continue
to rise and as well as feeling unfit, there are numerous health complications
brought about by being over weight. The costs in healthcare are huge and
society will find it hard to maintain these high levels of health care
in the years to come.
After much careful research about diet, nutrition, diet supplements, exercise
and weight gain, we are almost ready to announce the launch of our new
program.
Our new weight-loss program will be launched within the next few weeks.
It is a four week program and it has been carefully designed so that once
completed it will be easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle in the future.
As part of the launch we plan to publicly put one of our employees through
the program. We want you to let us know if you would be interested in
seeing this on our website.
We will put on the site genuine before photo's, have a real weigh-in and
take measurements of the person't body fat percentage and waist etc..
We will also put up a daily report of progress, including what the person
eats and how they are doing and feeling...both good and bad! Their thoughts
and comments.
We will also take the same measurements and photographs at the end of
the program, so you will see the before and after. This will be a live
demonstration and will commence when the program is launched shortly.
We want to do this so that we can share as much information with you as
possible and so that you can see how the program works in a real life
situation.
We would appreciate your feedback to let us know if you think putting
all of the above information online onto our site would be interesting.
We would also appreciate any comments about anything else we should add
that you think would be a good idea.
We will automatically enter your name into the free prize draw to win
one of the ten free programs we will be giving away when launch date arrives.
Even if you don't win we will give you a discount for giving us your comments,
which you or anyone you know can use. Details will be sent to you closer
to the time. Good luck! Here is the link to let us know:

Alternatively, just hit the "reply" button in your e-mail program and
send us your comments that way.
(Thank you in advance)

4) The Power and Benefits of Superfood
In today's busy life style, fast food is on the increase. It is a fact
that we have less time to ensure we are getting a balanced diet. In the
rush to get to work we often eat whatever is at hand, and very often to
the detriment of our health. Large quantities of vitamin and mineral supplements
are consumed in an attempt to counteract this decline in our health.
But many commercial grade vitamin and minerals concentrates are synthesized
by the big pharmaceutical and chemical industries, from the same starting
materials that drugs are made from: coal tar, petroleum products, animal
by-products, waste and fecal matter, ground rocks, stones, shells and
metal. Your body will find it difficult to absorb the right level of nutrients
from these synthetic products.
The human body is a living machine and as such runs at its most optimum
from living fuel ie. natural live foods. Superfood is a perfectly balanced
powdered blend, specifically formulated to supply you with natural vitamins
and minerals, amino acids and essential trace nutrients. The ingredients
are from the richest whole food sources on the planet, and are either
organically grown or ethically wild harvested.
The benefits to you are that your body will be able to absorb and assimilate
the nutrients. With Superfood all the goodness will reach your blood stream
and feed your nutrient-starved organs. Unlike most difficult-to-absorb
supplements which pass straight through your digestive tract directly
into your fecal waste, Superfood is easy to absorb. Superfood is a zero
fat formula and will give you energy without the high levels of sugar
and carbohydrates other supplements contain. Superfood tastes great and
it is the best foundation for any health program because it contains the
natural nutrition your body needs, all without Aspartame! Visit the following

5) Chocolate Company Targets School Children
A disturbing situation has been in the news a great deal during the past
week or so in England.
A large multi-national chocolate company is encouraging children to eat
more chocolate and sugary snack bars in exchange for sports equipment
for their schools.
One can take the attitude, "Well, so what!" or "Maybe they are doing a
good thing to support children in this way".
The unfortunate thing is that the company and many like it are actively
engaged in promoting their products to children in a way which bypasses
parental control.
A chocolate/sugary snack every now and then won't do any harm but eating
this kind of stuff regularly, even many times a day in some cases, is
definitely detrimental to good health.
Obesity and many associated problems are running at epidemic levels, even
in children. These marketing ploys should not be allowed where children
are concerned.
One of the company's spokesmen is even reported as saying that these chocolate
and sugary snacks form part of a balanced diet. An outrageous comment
to make if it's true.
Here are some links to the BBC website about this which you may find interesting:
