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.

Sometimes, we bring you articles from independent health > researchers which may contain information and methods not usually employed > by the mainstream health profession.

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. > > _______________ > > <A HREF= " #0 " >Back to top</A> > > 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. > > Here are two links which you may find interesting: > > <A HREF= " http://www.organicnutrition.co.uk/aspartame.htm " >http://www.organicnutriti\ on.co.uk/aspartame.htm</A> > > and > > <A HREF= " http://www.ethicalinvesting.com/monsanto/aspartame.shtml " >http://www.ethic\ alinvesting.com/monsanto/aspartame.shtml</A> > > > > <A HREF= " #0 " >Back to top</A> > > 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.

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 link for details: > > <A HREF= " http://www.organicnutrition.co.uk/superfood.htm " >http://www.organicnutriti\ on.co.uk/superfood.htm </A> > > > > <A HREF= " #0 " >Back to top</A> > > 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: > > <A HREF= " http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/2984599.stm " >http://news.bbc.co.u\ k/1/hi/talking_point/2984599.stm</A> > > <A HREF= " http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2984995.stm " >http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2\ 984995.stm</A> > > > > <A HREF= " #0 " >Back to top</A> > > 6) Latest Competition - Special Extention Granted > The response to our on-line Competition has been excellent.
