The newsletters this time, one on Preventing and Dealing with the FLU and the other on Depression,
are two areas where nutritional therapies can make a big difference in your long term
recovery. The nice thing about nutritional therapy is you can often add it to other more
mainstream allopathic therapies. Contact me for advice if you’re taking medications to
verify which herbs will interact well with what you are on.
I have been reading everywhere recently about the xenoestrogens we are
exposed to. They are act like estrogen in the body, hooking into the receptor site on the
cells that is meant for estrogen BUT their action is many times stronger than normal
estrogen. This causes an estrogen imbalance. Many cancers ( breast, prostate,
reproductive organs) are “estrogen fed”. What they have discovered is that these
xenoestrogens are the culprits that feed these types of tumors. Other symptoms of
estrogen dominance are heavy menstrual flow, PMS and menopausal symptoms, edema,
increased body fat, fibrocystic breast disease, endometriosis, infertility, migraine
headaches, uterine fibroids, osteoporosis, thinning hair, low sex drive, memory loss,
acne, prostate issues. The list includes over 80 symptoms so this is only a few! Just
google “sources of xenoestrogen” and you’ll see it is coming from many things in our
environment: dairy and meat raised with hormones as well as fruits and vegetables
raised with chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The big deal recently about BPA in plastic
bottles, plastic wrap and plastic containers is because they leach xenoestrogens into
your water or food. Most contaminating is when you REuse these containers or heat in
the microwave or freeze things in them. Other culprits are the chemicals used to clean
around the house, in the laundry as well as the chemicals many slather on as lotion,
shampoo, conditioner. If the ingredient list is not something you recognize you should
not put it on your body! Do some research! Also damaging are PVC pipes, lawn
chemicals, pharmaceuticals and MORE. New research shows that one of the LARGEST
SOURCES is on store receipts due to the way they are produced! Wash your hands after
handling (read my blog for full report from a doctor who researched this).
How to protect yourself? Watch your food choices (organic is worth the $$) and
containers ( use glass and pyrex containers and wax paper bags!) Look for Burt’s Bees
shampoos and soaps as well as Aveena and watch for homemade chemical free bath
products. Make your own cleaning supplies with Borax, vinegar, and baking soda and
essential oils - check out my blog or ask me for a printout of simple recipes to use.
Another wise preventative is to use PHYTOestrogen foods and herbs. These are plants
that have a weaker estrogenic action that go in and fill the receptor sites on the cell so
that the stronger xenoestrogens can not. These do not feed tumors. Phytoestrogen
sources are Flax oil, non-GMO soy foods, Super GLA oil blend, Female Comfort blend,
Flash Ease, Natural Changes and ProGYam cream. Need more info? Ask me for the
Estrogen Dominance CD/booklet pack ($5.00) to learn more about hormones.
REAL FOOD “TO GO”, REAL FAST
JANUARY 2010
I discovered a new way to make a wrap AND get more dark leafy greens
into your diet. A friend had told me how she had heard of lightly
steaming collard greens and using them to wrap things in. As I walked in
my garden I noticed my Brussell sprout plants had large leaves at the
top that looked JUST like collards. SO I tried dipping them in boiling water
till they turned dark green and got limp (20-30 seconds). I spread on
hummus, a slice of roasted red pepper and a piece of baked seasoned
tofu (Trader Joe’s)and rolled it up. They’ve been a hit with everyone I’ve
served them to. I am going to try it with Kale and of course, some
collard greens now that my Brussell sprout plants have gone by. These
green roll-ups have been my favorite fast food lunch to pack as I race
out the door. Another quick lunch to pack is hummus with crackers,
baby carrots and fast-to-cut celery. Or try Trader Joe’s Bean Dip. Add a
piece of fruit and/or a small bag of nuts or seeds and that should hold
you till supper time! Challenge yourself to create a fast healthy lunch and
thrive.Want to add more nutrition and rev up your energy? Add the new
Solstic powdered drink stick packages. They’re easy to carry and add to
your water- full of vitamins and minerals to balance pH and give energy.

Summer/Fall - Sept 2009___________________________________________________________________________________________
We just returned from a fantastic convention with NSP in Las Vegas and my head’s swimming with all the new info and new products. I will try to give you a quick preview but DO go online at my website above and check them all out- or call me for info pages on them.
Sunshine Heros- a whole new line of children’s chewables! All have a base of antioxidant fruits and vegetables and amino acids. They are sweet and tasty like gummy bear candies and seem more like a fruit snack then a supplement. There are Multi-Vitamins and Minerals, Probiotics (with 11 strains), Calcium with D3, Whole Foods Plus Antioxidants, Omega 3 with DHA, and Whole Foods Papayazyme. Don’t leave your child unprotected during the cold and flu season- check it out.
Ionic Minerals with Acai- Adults and children that do not like capsules, should try this new liquid mineral product. Because these minerals are charged (ionic) they are easily and quickly absorbed into the cells in the intestines. Along with the Acai berry juice (a powerful antioxidant) this can help regulate pH and support the cardiovascular system .
Solstic- For those on the run there is a new drink “stick”. It’s a small pouch of natural apricot peach flavored powder with 100% or more of daily vitamin and mineral amount along with lutein (for eye health), lycopene (anti-oxidant known for role in men’s health) and stevia sweetened (no calories and diabetic safe) and NO junk like some stick drinks! Dump it in your water bottle as you run out the door or keep handy at work or the gym to give you quick nourishment and help balance your pH. It’s like Crystal Lite with a KICK!
New and Improved Weight Loss Line- NSP has made a concentrated effort to improve and update many products that will help with the Obesity Epidemic in the US. (we are #1 in the world in obesity) Two out of three people are overweight and NSP has something to help with all aspects of it. Meal replacement powders such as NutriBurn (with Whey) Synerprotein ( with Soy ) and Love and Peas (with pea protein-vegan approved) are all in new space saving resealable bags. MetaboMax Plus, Metabomax Free (with no caffeine), MetaboStart Plus (14 day program), CLA (to enhance fat burning) and Carbograbbers (with food bound chromium) have all been reformulated to be more effective than ever in the weight-loss battle. With the cooler temperatures making it easier to exercise, join me and get serious this month. NSP also has a new Weight Loss booklet (#5322-1) that explains all the ways to use the new products and other ideas to optimize your efforts. Dieter’s Cleanse is a great way to begin by getting the liver more able to process and break down the fat. Check out my Blog (above) for more ideas or ask me how to make your weight loss program more effective.
Boomerang Air Sanitizer- here is a GREAT way to protect you and your family from the swine flu and any other germs (including MRSA) with no risky side effects like a drug vaccine might have. It can clean the air of a 2000 sq ft. area of your home or office and can be moved from room to room if wanted. It is small and quiet and can even mount on the wall easily. It’s different than most air filters which usually use HEPA filters which only work on the large particles and trap contaminants in the filter creating a breeding ground which, if not changed promptly, makes the air quality worse. Boomerang’s designed to actually destroy mold, bacteria, virus and volatile organic compounds (paint fumes, nail polish, cleaning products) and odors with its unique technology, which has a patent pending for it. It’s simple to use, affordable and energy efficient. No cleaning or filter replacement for 3 years. Ask me for an air quality test and demo of this great device.
Like to use herbs and oils to HEAL YOUR PETS? Great reference charts are available from Tree of Light. Each double sided chart is full of remedies for cats, dogs, horses, or birds and can be found at their website at www.treelite.com or ask me.
Special Diet? “LIVING WITHOUT” is a magazine with recipes that are dairy, gluten, wheat and/or sugar free.
NSP Health Education Seminar- Oct.10th 9-5pm cost $35 at Clarion Hotel, West Springfield MA (just off the highway-easy to get to) Mastering the Unique Properties of Herbs, The Seven Step Candida Solution, Change your Brain Change your Life are the three topics that will be presented. CALL 800 223-8225 to register TODAY (don’t wait as they will cancel this if they do not have enough pre-registered ahead of time) Free booklets and CDs on all the subjects and excellent teachers make this a MUST DO event . Don’t miss out! See you there
Get ready for the changing seasons- cleanse and stock up to fight flu and colds-check my blog for ideas.
