1: A Healthy Life 

The 4 Basics of a Healthy Life and the 3 Important Habits

Good health is easy but being sick is hard. The truth is, maintaining good health is pretty simple although reclaiming it takes patience, consistent actions and smart choices. Your body heals at it's own pace. There are four important components that determine a person's level of health.

Component One: Is their body being fed what it needs to be healthy? From the point of view of the body, many meals today barely qualify as food. That's why disease care is a trillion dollar business and over 60% of Americans are overweight. An amazing amount of the American diet is packed with calories carrying no real nutrition. Like good health, eating vital, real food is easy, but that is a decision you have to make.

Component Two: Does the person have a cork stuck up their butt? Are they constipated? Can the body eliminate toxins effectively? Other organs get constipated besides the bowels. Most diseases involve the starvation or constriction of a group of organs. Often food is clogging the machinery. Some foods clog and others clean. Some foods support the health of the organs and others destroy them.

Component Three: Do they feel loved? There's nothing like loving when it comes to good health. People in loving relationships eat together. The quality of the food is an expression of their affection. Most of good health is attitude and self-image and they're linked to how you love. Continuously work on improving your ability to love and good health is easy.

Component Four: Do they enjoy their work and feel they make a contribution, even if it seems frivolous to someone else? This attitude is often more important to good health than what it is you actually do, or how much you earn. It's being connected, valued and on a mission. It keeps the inner flame alive and like love, offers that most valuable asset to healing, a sense of hope. Patiently improve these four components and good health is easy.

The 4 Basics of a Healthy Life and the 3 Important Habits

Now, cut yourself some slack. Health challenges make people feel guilty, stupid or victimized. Whether you believe you create your own health or that problems simply fall out of the sky, realize that these days, good health barely seems like an option for many people. Health education has fallen down on the job and the result is a trillion dollar plus medical bill. Part of the problem is that the conscious mind wasn't designed to be responsible for your health.

Read that again. Your conscious mind doesn't have the job skills, although it can be a good helper. Finding healthy foods and detoxification are managed by the autonomic (read automatic) nervous system. For example: When you're low in a certain nutrient, this is what the body does. All blood flows through the liver, the largest internal organ, which notes that the blood is low in that nutrient, so it sends a message to the tongue, forming a crystalline pattern in the saliva, that mimics the food that contains that nutrient.

Now the nose, who is in the same neighborhood, sniffs out that food and then it's lunch. This message process bypasses the conscious mind. But modern foods don't offer the choices that the autonomic system requires to maintain good health. It's that simple. A major portion of the American diet is glue; hybridized wheat and cow dairy, cheap, plentiful, with a great profit margin. Wheat is high in gluten (GLUtEn) and cow dairy is high in casein, like the white craft glue from Elmer's. That's why their logo is Elsie the Cow.

The 4 Basics of a Healthy Life and the 3 Important Habits

Now manufacturers have found an even cheaper food; soy, high in the estrogens that promote obesity and hormonal challenges, which is one of the reasons why today's generation possesses half of the fertility of their grandparent's generation. Choosing to eat these glues causes many people's poor level of health. The body's design requires graceful, gradual change. As you move forward in your healing, realize the pace at which the body restores itself has to do with the design of the cell. When the body makes a new cell, it will design it for the quantity of nutrition present at the time the cell is created.

The body doesn't like to waste resources so it won't create a cell capable of processing huge amounts of nutrition if there's only a fraction of that floating around. When you improve your diet and add supplements, the current cells have very real limits as to what they can use. However, when you maintain high levels of nutrition, the next generation of cells will be created with an increased capability. Even they won't be running at their full potential, because in order to fit in with the previous matrix, their lower capabilities have to overlap the higher capabilities of their weaker predecessors.

As you maintain that high level of nutrition, the following generations will push those limits up another step and another step and so on. That's why it takes a while to reach optimal health. For example, a red blood cell has a life span of 120 days, so how many cellular generations will it take to reach your fullest potential? Then to maintain good health you need to keep providing high levels of nutrition through making smart food choices and active supplementation. In other words, once you start dancing, keep dancing! The three habits that lead to good health are: Be consistent, be patient and always aim to improve all four components; good nutrition, effective detoxification, good loving and good work.

Practical Secrets for Working with Healing Herbs & Supplements

The majority of the world's people use healing herbs to protect their good health. It is a simple art with amazing possibilities and humankind has been expanding and organizing this useful knowledge for millennia. High-quality herbs, like those from Nature's Sunshine Products, have proven their safety and effectiveness through many years of experience and extensive, worldwide scientific testing. Modern research shows that more than 90% of today's health challenges are due to nutritional deficiencies. Herbs are highly concentrated, tremendously nutritious, wonderfully restorative food. This explains why herbs have been used since pre-historic times.

Herbs have been studied for more than 5000 years and have proven to be consistently safer than chemical drugs. When you see the media slamming herbs, consider that the 1.3 trillion dollar a year medical industry uses part of their huge profits to sabotage 'the competition' and they are big advertisers. This adverse propaganda has been going on since the 1920's and it's nothing personal, it's just business. The resurgence of herbs as a healing force is due to their effectiveness, not because of high profit margins. The only damage a high quality herbal product might do to you is if a bottle fell on your foot. Ouch! But if it does, don't worry, we have herbs for that!

No matter what your healing program, start off slowly. Get comfortable with the product by taking 1 or 2 capsules for the first few days, then gradually increasing the amount by 2 every couple of days until you reach your target amount. The three biggest mistakes people make with herbs are, not taking enough, for long enough and with too little water.Herbs are food, not drugs. You serve them up in family sized portions, not minuscule doses. If you're resolving a problem that developed over years, it takes a while to feed the body completely enough that a true, deep level healing can take place.

Practical Secrets for Working with Healing Herbs & Supplements

Herbs essentially have three actions; they clean you, feed you and restore your balance. It's a very simple art. When you're taking a super nutrient, it takes 2 weeks before your body even starts making new tissue. A common mistake many people make is stopping their program after only a few days, or a couple of weeks, just when their body is starting the real healing. Your body will easily assimilate up to 1 capsule a day for every 10 lbs of your body weight of each herb or combination. Example: a 200 lb person can take 20 capsules daily of an herb like Pau d'Arco to resolve a deep-seated problem. In comparison, for basic health maintenance, follow the recommendation on the bottle, usually 2-4 a day, or 1 for every fifty pounds.

Next, nothing serious heals in less than 3 months and then add 1 month for every year you've had the problem. Example: If you've had anxiety attacks for 3 years, to completely resolve the problem at its deepest nutritional level, you'll need to take the full amounts of each product for 6 months (3 months plus 1 month for each year) before you can reduce the amounts to the maintenance levels. (An exception to these amounts are hormonal tonics like ginseng, or dong quai, where the body only requires between 3 to 9 daily.)

Third, take your herbs with a minimum of 10 ounces of pure water. How are you going to clean out toxins without plenty of pure water?

Today, we know more about the healing power of herbs than at any time in recorded history and the knowledge continues to advance. High quality herbs can be used to relieve pain, stress, anxiety, depression, restore the libido, turn back your hormonal clock, lose or put on weight, clean and restore the functioning of body systems, and take the gray out of your hair. The list goes on and on. It's amazing what thousands of years of study and experience have shown.

Practical Secrets for Working with Healing Herbs & Supplements

The best place to start any healing process is with a gentle cleansing. However, if a person's vitality level is very low, delay that until some basic rebuilding is done. Good starter products are Super Algae, the very foundation of all foods. Beyond Algae is only sunlight and minerals. Liquid Chlorophyll #1683-7, which added to your water, gently cleans and feeds your system, and Nature's Sea Calcium Powder which provides that important alkaline mineral foundation that good health rests on.

Remember, we said "High Quality Products". The majority of herbs found in local stores are of mediocre quality and effectiveness in comparison to the extremely high quality produced by Nature's Sunshine. No other company in the herbal industry has a longer-standing reputation for producing the purest, highest potency products. NSP does this by paying top dollar to their suppliers, paying it quickly and then doing up to 200 tests in their four in-house labs, to verify that the products are the correct species, contain the correct amounts of active ingredients, are pollution and radiation free and fulfill many other demanding criteria. Their commitment to being the very best allows us to use their products with absolute confidence, resulting in tremendous health benefits and the highest customer retention rate in a very competitive industry.

Practical Secrets for Working with Healing Herbs & Supplements

Pau D'Arco

Pau D'Arco bark comes from a tree that grows primarily in Argentina and Brazil. The tree is known as taheebo. Unlike other trees in its midst, pau d'arco does not develop fungus growth. It contains a chemical called lapachol, which may account for the herb's traditional use in strengthening and supporting the immune system. Pau d'arco also has been used traditionally to maintain a healthy circulatory system.
Nature's Sunshine's pau d'arco comes from Brazil. It is available in a variety of forms, including capsules, bulk for tea, liquid extract and soothing lotion.

Liquid Chlorophyll

Benefits:
Helps promote the natural blood-cleansing functions of the body.
Promotes strong immune response.
Strengthens cells.
Deodorizes the body, including the bowel.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that harnesses the sun's energy in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll performs metabolic functions in plants such as respiration and growth. Interestingly, the chlorophyll molecule is chemically similar to human blood, except that its central atom is magnesium, whereas that of human blood is iron. Liquid Chlorophyll may help improve immune response and deodorize the body. The alfalfa plant, from which Nature's Sunshine's chlorophyll comes, is an excellent source of chlorophyll. Nature's Sunshine offers chlorophyll in both liquid and capsules for varying needs.

Super Algae

Super Algae packs all the benefits of the three most popular algae supplements on the market today. Algae is a super food rich in easily assimilable nutrients. Spirulina is often added to food for its nutritional value. Chlorella is a freshwater green algae noted for its chlorophyll content. Klamath Lake in Oregon is a pristine source of Klamath Lake blue-green algae. Super Algae maximizes protein, amino acid, chlorophyll and carotenoid content of each algae species, providing a balanced, nutritional formula. Super Algae also supports the immune system.

Nature's Sea Calcium

Nature's Sea Calcium is derived from Lithothamnium, a hard, brittle red algae that grows off the southwestern coast of Ireland. In these pure, mineral-rich waters, Lithothamnium congregates to form large beds of stone-like algae. The seaweed's mineralized matrices naturally contain high concentrations of naturally occurring, plant-sourced calcium along with up to 70 other minerals, including magnesium, boron, copper and zinc. Lithothamnium provides a renewable source as the plant is left undisturbed.

Nature's Sea Calcium naturally promotes bone health and density. And its high buffering capacity makes it ideal for supporting and maintaining normal range pH levels.

Nature's Sea Calcium has a large surface area and a porous structure, which may increase its bioavailability. This formula contains a proprietary blend of short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides, which, when converted to short-chain fatty acids by beneficial flora in the body, have been shown to improve calcium absorption. Available in both powder and capsules.

Nature's Spring Reverse Osmosis water treatment

With years of expertise in the production of countertop reverse osmosis water treatment systems, Nature's Sunshine has developed an improved Nature's Spring RO device to meet the growing challenges facing our drinking water. This unit is still designed around a semi-permeable membrane that allows only pure water, oxygen and a small amount of minerals to pass through, while sending everything else down the drain. This technology has been used for decades to purify seawater into drinking water.

When combined with the purifying abilities of activated carbon, reverse osmosis is a proven method for making great-tasting, high quality drinking water for your family.

The new and improved Nature's Spring is a four-stage system that offers one unit for all city water systems and solid-block activated carbon in the pre- and post-filters. It also has a special timer with indicator lights so you know when to change the filters.

The four stages of the improved Nature's Spring RO unit:

Stage One
Water first enters a 5-micron pre-filter that is 12 inches long. It removes any large sediment or debris that may damage the membrane.

Stage Two
A solid-block, activated carbon filter (inside the sediment pre-filter) removes excess chlorine to protect the PA membrane and assists in removing chloramines.

Stage Three
An efficient Polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis membrane produces 35 gallons of purified, highly oxygenated drinking water per day. Reverse osmosis effectively reduces total dissolved solids, including fluoride, lead and cadmium.

Stage Four
A 12-inch, solid-block, activated carbon filter removes traces of any pollutants while improving the taste.

This improved Nature's Spring RO unit features snap-on use, with a yield of 35 gallons of pure drinking water per day. One unit works on all potable water supplies. It's also easier to service.

3: Alkaline & Acid = pH 

An Easy Guide to Health

Here's the secret to good health: Too Much Acid Equals Pain. Your body has to convert all of your foods into a salty or alkaline state before you can assimilate and use that nutrition. Your blood has to be alkaline because if it turns too acidic you'll die, which cancels your warranty. What creates an acid state in your body? Stress, acid foods, consuming large amounts of the acid producing minerals; phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine! What creates an alkaline state in your body? Relaxation, joy, alkaline foods and consuming large amounts of the alkaline producing minerals; calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in an easy to absorb form!

Are there any health problems that are not caused or made worse by an acid condition? Yes! Getting hit by a truck and other such "out of the blue" incidents. But in every other major health problem, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, digestive problems, nervous stress and so on, excess acid due to mineral imbalances is either the direct cause or a major contributing factor. How do we know this? Because since ancient times, when a person corrects their alkaline-acid balance all of these conditions are improved, often dramatically. Amazing coincidence!

If you keep your reserves of alkaline minerals high and limit acid producing foods you'll improve your long-term health, have less pain and more energy. Add some lifestyle habits that promote happiness, and the reasonable management of interesting stress and you'll find yourself enjoying good health instead of suffering from disease.

How do you know how good your alkaline and acid balance is? By testing your saliva for its 'pH', or potential of Hydrogen, measured from Zero (most acid) to 14 (most alkaline) and 7 is neutral.

An alkaline body conducts electricity better than an acid body and pain is a sign that an electrical connection isn't being made correctly. Acid blocks conductivity. Your body's systems work best within specific pH ranges. For example, blood needs to be between 7.35 and 7.45. Stomach acid ranges around 2, while the intestinal tract is around 8.

When acid levels exceed the proper range two things happen; pain and excess acids are dumped resulting in rashes and inflammations of the skin and organs. Red and tender skin means that it's sitting in an acid bath!

3: Alkaline & Acid = pH (continued) 

An Easy Guide to Health

Saliva is naturally mildly acidic and its pH goes up or down based upon the overall pH of the body, making saliva a convenient barometer. If your saliva pH is good, then you're maintaining good reserves of alkaline minerals. If it's too acid you're probably suffering from a degenerative problem and pain. Test your saliva in the morning before brushing your teeth or having anything to drink. Get 100 NSP pH test strips in a kit with a chart. Get an extra 25 pH charts in case you give strips to friends and family. They also have a pH-testing brochure. If your pH is low, there are two strategies to correct that. First, supplement with Coral Calcium Powder, 2 to 4 scoops a day in water will restore your reserves of the alkaline minerals, calcium and magnesium, that your body uses as chemical buffers to convert acids to alkaline. It's the best product to do this quickly. The more you use the less pain you'll have!

Taken two hours before bed, it encourages a good night's sleep by neutralizing pain-producing acids. Potassium Combination supplies potassium and sodium. Important chemical buffers, they also accelerate the flow of nutrients into the cells and the flow of toxins out. Use 1 to 2 capsules for every scoop of Coral Calcium. Magnesium helps your muscles relax, the bowels become more effective and also aids the absorption of other minerals. Use 1 for every 2 scoops of Coral Calcium.

Second: Improve your diet. A food is alkaline or acid depending upon the state it produces in the body. This is due to the types of minerals it possesses, not whether the food is alkaline or acid to the touch. For example, meat is alkaline to the touch, but being high in phosphorus and iron it creates an acid state in the body.

A healthy diet is more alkaline than acid. Depending upon your blood type, the diet should consist of 60 to 80% alkaline foods and 20 to 40% acidic foods. Generally the A and AB blood types need the most alkaline diet while the O and B blood types need more animal products in their diet. The O needs meat and the B needs dairy. But remember, if you're in pain, you're acidic. Here is a partial list of foods by acid/alkaline category.

4: Better Out Than In! 

Comfortable Detoxification

Do you want to have vibrant health? Then be as clean inside as you are outside. That means periodically using natural foods to scrub out the toxic residue that builds up inside your body, from digestion, pollution and stress. It's not hard to do and it doesn't need to be uncomfortable. If you detoxify your body gently, it's more effective. This gentle method cleans 5 systems in this sequence: Bowel, Liver, Kidney, Blood & Lymph. Fortunately while you're cleaning the bowels the other systems are also being helped, because as you clean the bowels it allows the other organs to get unstuck.

For the best results, take soluble and insoluble fibers like the powdered Psyllium Hulls Combination, or the capsules of Psyllium Hulls daily through the entire detoxifying process, because when it comes to toxins, they're better out than in. As your body's systems eliminate toxins they're going to send them through the colon. The fiber scrubs out the intestinal tract at the same time absorbing those toxins and preventing them from being reabsorbed.

90% of health problems start in the bowel because many people treat their body like a trash compactor. That's called constipation. Sometimes the bowels are moving but the walls are coated with aging gunk. Sounds horrible, doesn't it!

The first consideration when cleaning the bowel is recognizing that it's probably tight, stressed, dried out, leaking and sluggish. You might get gripping and cramping as the fiber pulls sludge from the walls. Here's how you make the process more comfortable. Start the cleansing by taking lots of the relaxing mineral Magnesium. Reference the Magnesium Chapter #8. A Magnesium deficiency results in constipation. Here's how you work with the relaxing mineral.

Day 1 take 1 tablet. Day 2 take 2. Day 3 take 3 and so on, adding 1 tablet a day until either your bowels get loose (Then cut back to comfortable amount.) or you reach 10 a day. In that case, keep taking 10 a day until your bowels get loose, then go to a comfortable amount, normally 1 to 3 daily.

4: Better Out Than In! (continued) 

Comfortable Detoxification

Once your bowels are comfortably relaxed with magnesium, start with fiber. You can use a complete fiber drink or individual products. CleanStart and Citrus CleanStart are complete 14 day programs that produces wonderful results. After that, the powdered Psyllium Hulls can be taken daily. Take a tablespoon of Psyllium powder in a large glass of water or juice, mixing it thoroughly and drinking it down quickly, either morning or evening. When starting out, be gentle, use a teaspoonful for the first 3-5 days. Follow the first glass with a second glass of water or juice. Or you can use capsules; 9 capsules equals 1 tablespoon.

Important. Psyllium expands absorbing water, so relax the bowels with magnesium and drink lots of water. If the Psyllium doesn't have enough water, the bowel can become clogged. If you feel like the fiber isn't moving along like it should, drink warm water mixed with liquid Chlorophyll as a lubricant. In a pinch, put warm compresses over your belly and if the plug is still stuck, then its time for a colonic. But, if you start with magnesium and take the fiber with plenty of water, and maybe a little Chlorophyll, that will never happen. If you take the capsules you still need plenty of water. Stock numbers for the capsules are: Psyllium Hulls Psyllium Seed.

Don't be surprised when your bowels (colon) start working better, so don't be alarmed. Remember, there's nothing coming out that you want to keep. Do the initial bowel cleaning for at least a month. That means 5 to 6 days of Magnesium, 14 days of the CleanStart and then 10 days of Psyllium, and then add Small Intestine Detox daily for a month. 2 capsules with the fiber will help clean the resistant deposits off the walls of the small intestine and improve nutritional assimilation.

4: Better Out Than In! (continued) 

Comfortable Detoxification

In the following month, clean and strengthen the liver with Milk Thistle Combination. Do this gently over two months (or longer) with 1-2 a day. Go through 2 bottles and keep taking the fiber. If you become uncomfortable you're going too fast. Slow down! The most difficult toxins get stuck in the liver so flush them out gradually and catch them in the fiber so they don't get reabsorbed.

When you feel ready use 1 bottle of Urinary Maintenance (3 a day) for a month to clean and strengthen the kidneys. Next use a bottle of the traditional blood purifiers in BP-X (3 a day) for a month. Finally clean the lymphatic system with a bottle of Lymphomax (3 a day) for a month.

To get the best results use fiber throughout the process since this pulls toxins out most effectively. If at any time you have discomfort using a product, stop it for a few days and resume more slowly. For example, take 1 tablet every other day until your body becomes more comfortable with the process, if you're still uncomfortable look into a different, milder product.

Note: If you're suffering from an irritable bowel you don't need cleansing. The product for you is Intestinal Sooth and Build, Reference our Chapter #15: Calming the Irritated Bowel. This is a gentle, gradual cleanse. Slow it down or speed it up to suit your comfort levels. A comfortable, low stress cleanse, spread over a longer period of time is a better and deeper cleanse.

5:Conspiracy Foods 

Are they out to get you?

Food manufacturers can easily manipulate a whole population by the products they make available at a cheap price. The way those foods are processed and the things that are added to them can decide the level of health that millions of people experience. These days the most widely marketed and consumed foods in the western world create health problems that have turned entire populations into 'cash cows' for the drug companies and medical industry.

You have a choice about the foods you eat and you can choose good health or sickness. You can also use supplements to help protect you from the glues, synthetic hormones and genetically modified pseudo-foods that are found in many mass marketed products and restaurant fare. Healthy foods are also available.

Know your enemy! The biggest glues that have helped transform America into the land of the sick in the 21th century are gluten, found in wheat flour and casein, found in cow dairy, the same casein that is used to make Elmer's glue. Why else would there be a cow on the label?

Before the 20th century and the invention of steel rollers, most breads where made with a mix of whole, spouted grains. Sprouting a grain converts the sticky, acidic gluten into alkaline vitamins and amino acids. Including the outer husks increases the food's mineral content. Sprouting grains for breads was the traditional method because it was an easy way to break open the hard seed and make the tough, outer husk useable. The steel roller permitted manufacturers to grind the seed, separate out the mineral rich outer husks, isolate the sticky gluten and use that to make soft, acidic white bread. Why is wheat 40% of the American diet? Because it's cheap and in it's refined, hybridized state, it can be shaped into anything, except healthy nutrition. It is a major contributor to society's dangerous overconsumption of carbohydrates.

What is made out of wheat flour? Bread, pizza, pasta, bagels, muffins and pastries. It's used as a thickening ingredient in all kinds of foods, soups, candies, and sauces. Wheat gluten paste makes a great glue, but do you want to eat glue? Use 100% sprouted breads that you'll find in the freezer section.

Cows are big animals with little heads. Goats and sheep have large heads and small bodies, proportioned more like humans. Cow dairy products are high in sugar and casein, both of which are sticky glues. Goat and sheep milk products aren't. Why do companies use such a sticky, sweet food? Because cows are big milk producers and not very picky eaters, in comparison to goats and sheep, so cow's milk is cheap!

Gluten and casein stick to the walls of the digestive system, blocking absorption and slowly degrading the health. Soy is not a good alternative. Rice Milk and Rice Ice Cream are better. For infant's and children, goat's milk mixed with carrot juice is a complete food and quite tasty. Goat and sheep cheeses are better for people and sheep's cheese is sweeter than goat's cheese. Use the enzyme combination Proactazyme Plus to clean out both the gluten and casein . For stronger, short term cleaning use Small Intestine Detox.

White cane sugar is a sticky, highly refined, acidic poison completely lacking in nutrition, that is designed to create sugar cravings that it can never really satisfy. The average American consumes a cup of white sugar daily in their various foods. It's so potent and toxic that if it were introduced today it would be available by prescription only. White sugar is added to practically everything. A couple of tablets of GTF Chromium daily provide the minerals chromium and vanadium. The sugar cravings are the way that the body says that it needs those two minerals that are naturally found in sweet foods, but have been removed to make white sugar. Stevia Powder Extract in powder & packets is a wonderfully sweet and nutritious herbal product that can be used safely in all those foods and beverages that you would like to sweeten up. NSP's has no bitter aftertaste.

Soy is another one of the high estrogen foods that have been mass marketed for the purpose of reducing fertility, increasing tumor and cancers and generally reducing the size of the global population. Most of it is genetically modified and it's all much too high in estrogen to do most people any good. In China, soy was considered "poor people food". Herdsmen wouldn't let their animals eat soy. It was used as a rotation crop to put nitrogen into the soil, in the way that Western farmers use red clover, another high estrogen plant. Part of America's epidemic obesity, infertility and tumor problems can be traced back to soy. While a little soy sauce now and then may not bother you, adding it wholesale to your diet is putting trouble into your future. For women, Pro G Yam 500, and for men, Men's formula and Sarsaparilla are products that clean out excess estrogens and protect the body from picking them up in the foods.

Food manufacturers use fats that are cheap to produce, have a long shelf life and are difficult for the body to use. Always use olive oil, minimize canola (It means 'Canadian oil') which comes from genetically modified rapeseed oil. Supplement with Super GLA Oil Blend to feed your immune and hormonal systems and push the junk fats out. Remember, Real Men Take Supplements! (So do Real Women!)

5. Conspiracy Foods (herb product list) 

Conspiracy Foods Herb Product List

Proactazyme Plus

Benefits:
Aids in the breakdown of most types of food.
Improves digestion.
Activates needed vitamins that would otherwise be wasted.
Helps your body extract the minerals it needs.
Is well-suited for vegetarians.
Supports digestion of a high-starch or sugar diet.

Proactazyme Plus [Digestive]. Digestive enzymes may be in short supply in some people, and supplementing with them allows the body to get maximum nutrition from the diet and supports efficient digestion.

Proactazyme Plus contains amylase, glucoamylase, lipase, cellulase, invertase, malt diastase, alpha galactosidase and peptidase to digest all types of food. It also contains a blend of protease formulated to digest proteins at various pH levels ranging from 3.0 to 6.0. This formula helps break down sugars, vegetable fibers, long-chain starches and proteins and contains only plant-sourced enzymes, thus it works well for vegetarians.

Small Intestine Detox

Small Intestine Detox [Digestive] supports the digestive system. Marshmallow has a high mucilage content, which may help to soothe digestive tract tissues. Pepsin is produced naturally in the body to help digest protein.

GTF Chromium

Chromium, GTF [Glandular] is a trace mineral that plays a role in maintaining blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range. Each "glucose tolerance factor"(GTF) molecule, a hormone-like compound, requires chromium as its central atom. GTF is thought to work with insulin to transport glucose from the blood into the cells. The liver also needs chromium to manufacture fatty acids, lecithin, cholesterol and lipoproteins. Chromium may positively affect blood fat levels and the liver filtration process. Processing destroys much of the chromium content in foods. Each tablet of GTF chromium contains 500 mcg of chromium amino acid chelate and chromium nicotinate in a base of horsetail herb, red clover tops and yarrow flower.

Stevia Powder Extract

Stevia Powder Extract. NSP Stevia Powder Extract is made from an unusually sweet herb called stevia (Stevia rebaudiana). Glycosides present in the Stevia rebaudiana plant, such as stevioside and rebaudioside, attribute to the plant's unique characteristics.
Fill scoop to line (approximately 1/4 teaspoon) and use as desired as a dietary supplement.
Also available in convenient .7 gram packets. Each box contains 50 two-serving packets of stevia powder extract. These small packets slip easily into your wallet or purse, ready for use anytime, anywhere.

Men's Formula w/Lycopene

Benefits:
Provides nutritional support for the prostate gland and the entire male glandular system.
Contains the antioxidant, lycopene, which studies suggest may have a beneficial effect on prostate health.

Men's Formula [Glandular] is specifically formulated for men 40 and older who seek a nutritional boost for a healthy prostate gland.

Each capsule contains saw palmetto extract (Serenoa repens) standardized to 20 percent essential fatty acids; pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo); pygeum bark extract (Prunus africana) standardized to 2.5 total sterols, calculated as beta-sitosterol; gotu kola aerial parts; standardized lycopene concentrate, a powerful antioxidant; stinging nettle extract (Urtica dioica) standardized to 2 percent plant silica; and zinc.

Saw palmetto supports the prostate gland and the urinary system. It protects the prostate gland from active forms of testosterone. Lycopene has been shown to have a protective effect on the prostate gland. Gotu kola herb supports the nervous system and promotes endurance.

Super GLA Oil Blend

Super GLA Oil Blend [Glandular] provides generous amounts of essential Omega-6 fatty acids (both linoleic and gamma-linolenic acid) from evening primrose, black currant and borage oils. In the body, these can be converted into eicosanoids. Three important eicosanoids are prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes. This group of hormone-like compounds regulates many important bodily functions and processes. These compounds may affect circulatory system health, skin and joint health, immunity and nerve function.

6: Asking Your Body 

You may be shocked at the answers!

Muscle testing is an easy way to ask your body what herbs and supplements you need. It works through bypassing the conscious part of the nervous system and bringing your questions directly to the body's subconscious, autonomic system. Since this is the part of the body that controls those important things like your heartbeat, breathing, immune response and digestion, it's obviously pretty smart! It also doesn't lie, because it can't afford to!

The way your body answers your questions is simple; the truth makes you strong and lies make you weak. Beneficial herbs and supplements make you stronger and harmful substances make you weaker. Many healing systems use complicated variations of this technique, but here are a couple of easy muscle-testing methods that yield honest results consistently.

With both methods: Drink a glass of water before you test. While testing, don't touch your tongue to the top of your mouth, don't cross your arms or legs, don't look directly at bright red or yellow or into someone's eyes.

One-person testing method: Use a compass to find Magnetic North. Face that direction with your feet close together. Hold the bottle of product that you want to test over your solar plexus (The upper belly just below the breast bone). Close your eyes (or look down) and state out loud, "This is good for me." If this is true your body will lean forward against the magnetic pressure coming from the North Pole. If it is not true, your body will either not lean forward or it will lean backwards. Prepare to be surprised the first time you do this.

When your body likes a product, repeat the process, stating this time, "I need one a day, two a day, three a day%u2026" and so on. Your body will lean forward as you count, coming back to neutral only when you exceed the best amount.

Two-person method: The two people face each other. The person being tested (the subject) holds their left arm up and out to their side. With their right hand they hold the bottle of product over their solar plexus. The tester puts their right hand on the subject's left arm about two inches above the wrist. They place their left hand on the subject's right shoulder as a balancer.

6: Asking Your Body (continued) 

You may be shocked at the answers!

Now the tester makes the statements, followed by the word "hold". This is the sign for the subject to hold their arm up firmly against the pressure that the tester will now exert downward. While it is important for the subject to actively resist the pressure, this is not an arm wrestling match. The tester will not have to push hard to recognize weak and strong responses. With practice, they'll be able to use the pressure from just two fingers.

Helpful Hint: When making the statements it is a good idea to double-check your responses. Start with, "This is good for you." followed by, "Your body needs this." Sometimes a product is good for you, but you don't need it now. Other times it's not good for you and you don't need it. When your body says that it is both good for you and you need it, then the tester states how many the subject needs. "You need one a day, two a day, three, four%u2026" and so on. The arm will stay strong until you exceed the best amount. That's essentially all there is to it, except when the testing doesn't work.

For the testing to be accurate the body's electromagnetic field must be flowing in the correct direction. A number of things can disrupt and even reverse the flow: certain drugs, especially anti-depressants, electromagnetic fields, extreme mineral deficiencies and allergies. In that case, you'll get either no answers because the system is locked in either a weak or strong response, or the answers will be reversed. To test whether the field is running in the correct direction using the two-person method, the subject holds their right hand, palm down over their hairline.

In that position, if their field is correct, their left arm should test strong. Next, they hold the back of their hand over their hairline. Now they should test weak. If the reverse is true their field is reversed. In the short term, this can be corrected by using a dab of Tei Fu Oil , or Peppermint Oil, to anoint seven spots. Starting in the front at the hollow at the base of the throat, go up in a straight line to the third eye, the hairline, the whorl at the top of the head, the large vertebrae at the base of the back of the neck, then on top of the flap in front of the left ear followed by the flap in front of the right ear.

6: Asking Your Body (continued) 

You may be shocked at the answers!

Then wait a minute and retest. In the long-term the flow is corrected by supplementing with large amounts of alkaline minerals and high-energy herbs. Use a combination of the Mineral Chi drink, Coral Calcium (Reference the Chapter #7 the Foundation of Minerals) and pH Green Zone, on a daily basis, possibly aided by an enzyme like Food Enzymes, or Proactazyme Plus with each meal to maximize absorption.

This program may also help the 'locked up' person to rebalance their system. See the chapter on Muscle testing in our book 'Good Health is Easy' if you'd like to know other ways in which you can use this system. Remember, this technique is not telling you if the body has a disease. It is telling what herbs and supplements the body wants to eat to be healthy!

Tei Fu Oil Essential Oils

Benefits:
Invigorates the mind and stimulates the respiratory system.
Offers cleansing, refreshing and softening properties.
Contains mood-enhancing scents.

Tei Fu Essential Oils [Nervous] was developed and perfected by a Chinese herbalist several decades ago. He created it using an ancient formula that was passed down in his family for more than 1,000 years. His secret formula was not for sale-a trait typical of older-generation Chinese. This descendant realized the benefits of his family secret and decided it was too good to keep from others. Thus Nature's Sunshine became the beneficiary of thousands of years of Chinese wisdom and herbal knowledge. Tei Fu Oils contain safflower oil, wintergreen oil, menthol, camphor, clove, eucalyptus and lavender essential oils.

Tei Fu oils can be used for a wide variety of applications, especially where the refreshing, invigorating properties of essential oils are desired. Avoid contact with eyes, nose and other sensitive areas.

Peppermint Oil

Peppermint Oil [Digestive]. This popular flavoring has a variety of uses in herbology. A couple of drops can be added to a glass of water or a cup of hot water for a soothing, refreshing after-meal drink. Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has been used to help promote digestion and has cooling and stimulating properties. Many people put a touch of Peppermint Oil on the temples.
While other manufacturers may be tempted to sell oil of cornmint or menthol as peppermint oil, Nature's Sunshine sells only pure, unadulterated peppermint oil. A little goes a long way.
Add 1-2 drops to 8 oz. hot (tea) or cold water for a refreshing digestive aid.

Mineral Chi Tonic

Mineral-Chi Tonic, Chinese [Vital Nutrition, Glandular] is a special blend of tonic herbs and a full spectrum of naturally chelated trace minerals extracted from the plant vegetation of an ancient seabed.

7: The Foundation of Minerals 

And the story of amazing Coral Calcium!

It's simple! The foundations of the body are minerals. They give the body strength, durability and resilience. But you need minerals in specific proportions and they only come from your foods and supplements. Just like a well built house rests on good foundations, if you plan on being healthy, you need to build your vitality on the daily assimilation of alkaline minerals. Alkaline minerals equal comfort and acid minerals equal pain. Your body is designed to be more alkaline than acid. You are designed to experience more comfort than pain. If you want to improve your health the first place to look is at the nature of your foundations.

It is a well known, scientifically confirmed biological reality that improving your alkaline acid balance reduces pain and irritation. It also strengthens all of the systems of the body, immunity, skeletal, nervous, digestive, urinary, hormonal and so on, inhibits the growth of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungus, cancers and tumors. Maintaining the correct pH is the basis of good health.

Getting the correct balance of minerals can be tricky. First, the standard modern diet is mineral starved thanks to disastrous changes in agriculture over the past several generations. Second, the proportion of minerals found in packaged foods is tilted in the direction of acid. Third, the same toughness that makes minerals so valuable for the body also makes them hard to assimilate unless they're in the correct form. Coral Calcium for example is primarily composed of alkaline minerals and they're in the best possible form for assimilation.

The minerals can be divided into three groups based upon the ways they work in the body. If you want to be healthy, the macro alkaline minerals are the most important to assimilate. Macro means you need large amounts daily. Alkaline means they produce an alkaline environment in the body. Why is this important? Because an alkaline body is a healthy body and an acid body is in pain! The alkaline minerals are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.

7: The Foundation of Minerals (continued) 

And the story of amazing Coral Calcium!

The next group is the macro acid minerals. While you also need large amounts of them daily, you need less of them than the alkaline minerals. They produce an acid environment. They are phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine. There are 4 macro alkaline minerals and 3 macro acid minerals because the body is designed to be alkaline. Why, because acid equals pain.

The trace minerals make up the very diverse third group that you need in very small amounts. The daily requirements for most of these require a microscope to detect. But they play an important role as co-factors for the body's enzymes and that makes them essential to both digestion and the complex metabolic functions of life. An alkaline environment makes many things better. All of the nutrients, including minerals, become much easier to absorb, the electricity running through the nervous system functions more effectively, the blood and circulatory system stays cleaner, the immune system is more powerful and the structural system rebuilds faster. The benefits all come from the daily assimilation of large enough amounts of alkaline minerals that can both neutralize acids and rebuild the body.

Staying alkaline is accomplished by the daily consumption of large amounts of the alkaline producing minerals, while not over consuming acid minerals. Yet minerals are hard to absorb and most people are mineral deficient. In fact most people get about one third of the alkaline minerals that they need to feel good, so an alkaline mineral supplement is a good idea, as long as its one that's easy to absorb. Coral Calcium contains large amounts of calcium and magnesium in the ideal proportion with a full spectrum of trace minerals. That's wonderful! What makes it so easy to absorb tells us a lot about what makes a good mineral supplement.

7: The Foundation of Minerals (continued) 

And the story of amazing Coral Calcium!

The fossilized Sango Coral from Okinawa was once alive so it has the matrix of life. Sango coral is unique in its similarity to human bone and it is actually used for bone grafts. It is very absorbable because the coral sand was at one time part of a living creation. Marine Bio, the main company that produces Coral Powder, does not touch living coral beds in the process. 1500 mgs (One scoop or two capsules) of Coral Powder yields 325 mgs of Calcium and 160 mgs of magnesium plus trace minerals. While two scoops (4 capsules) daily is a good basis, when dealing with a physical challenge, 4 to 5 scoops (8-10 capsules) daily is dramatically better. Remember, acid equals pain. Pain equals a challenge. A person is challenged because they're low in alkaline minerals and their body is too acidic.

The body is an alkaline creation that is continually processing acids. The structural minerals help maintain the integrity of the cells so that the organs don't leak and keep their strength and resilience. Many problems people suffer from with the urinary, digestive and reproductive systems are caused in part by a lack of internal integrity resulting in simple leakage into the organs.

The minerals are not the only thing that people need to resolve complex health challenges but they are the very best foundation they can establish for themselves as they build their way back to good health.

Even if you feel your health is good, how much better do you want to feel and for how long? A mineral supplement is one of the best daily foods you can add to your diet. Coral Calcium powder can be added to beverages and foods (we add it to nut butters, egg and tuna salads or wherever we feel we can add some extra alkaline minerals) or as capsules. Just remember that you need your alkaline minerals every day to keep that foundation strong.

8: Magnesium 

The Relaxing Mineral & the Best Deal in Health

To build a good house, start with good foundations. When you build a healthy body, the foundations are the seven major minerals and eighty trace minerals. While the body can manufacture many things that it needs, minerals only come through our foods and supplements.

While calcium is the largest mineral it's most important co-worker is magnesium. Calcium makes the cells strong and magnesium makes the cell relax, so nutrition can enter and toxins can leave. Most healthy foods contain calcium and magnesium in an ideal proportion of 2:1 (two to one), but these days, people need increasingly large amounts of magnesium.

Why? Because in the twentieth century America was electrified, literally! The typical 1900's house used gaslights, oil lamps and coal. The same home in 2000 might use natural gas for heating, but everything else, including hundreds of devices that didn't exist in 1900, would be powered by electricity and producing electromagnetic fields.

The body tells the muscles to tighten by sending an electrical signal along the nervous system. When you're exposed to electromagnetic fields your muscles tighten. When that electrical signal stops, the muscles relax.

The body moves because muscles on one side of a bone tighten while the opposing muscles relax. But an electromagnetic field makes all the muscles tighten, how much depends upon the strength of the field.

Constricting muscles restrict blood vessels, starving various systems for nutrients and oxygen. That's not good! So the body pulls magnesium, the relaxing mineral, from the muscles and bones where it's stored and puts it into the bloodstream to get everything to relax.

The American diet never adjusted to the growing need for magnesium, so most people are magnesium deficient. While a lack of calcium causes structural problems, magnesium deficiencies are often more painful and uncomfortable. That's why taking magnesium often produces very fast relief.

Here are the obvious signs of a magnesium deficiency? Pain and tightness in the forehead and back of the neck reaching the upper back, constipation or sluggish bowels, heart palpitations, leg cramps, migraine headaches, and PMS. A craving for chocolate can be a craving for magnesium, although that can also be the body asking for the good fats found in essential fatty acids, in this case, cocoa butter. These signs are typically the body screaming for magnesium.

8: Magnesium (continued) 

The Relaxing Mineral & the Best Deal in Health

A lack of magnesium can contribute to hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, nervous twitches, jaw and joint pain. These are just the most obvious issues because magnesium is essential for the liver, (the factory of the body), in the production of hundreds of enzymes, (the worker bees of the body). Without magnesium you have a lot of workers running around without the tools they need to get the daily work of the body done.

Today's calcium-magnesium combination supplements are typically compounded with this 'two to one' proportion, but statistically speaking, you probably need extra magnesium, unless you're planning on giving up the electricity in your home and workplace. How much extra magnesium do you need?

That's a very individual thing. While 200 additional milligrams of magnesium is typical, people who work with computers and electronics often need an additional 400 to 600 milligrams daily. The best way to know is by asking your bowels. When the bowels are tight you need more and when the bowels are loose you need less. We call this working to bowel tolerance.

Start slowly with any herb or supplement and build up to the ideal amount. Here's an easy method based upon a capsule containing 100 milligrams of magnesium. Day 1: take 1 magnesium. Day 2: take 2. Day 3: take 3, and so on, adding one more daily until one of two things happens; Either your bowels get loose (the sign of excess magnesium) or you reach 10 a day.

If you are taking 10 daily and your bowels are not loose, continue taking 10 daily until they do get loose. That means you were dramatically low in your magnesium reserves.

When we say loose bowels we mean just that. You won't find yourself in a panic, running to the bathroom. But when you go, you'll think, "That's interesting and very quick!" The bowels know all about minerals.

When your bowels get loose, stop taking the magnesium for two days and then resume with 1-2 a day, or whatever amount keeps your bowels moving comfortably. Throw your clock radio in the trash and replace it with a battery-operated alarm clock. You'll sleep better and reduce your risk of brain tumors.

Supports a healthy cardiovascular system, especially during exercise.

Magnesium Complex [Vital Nutrition, Structural]. Magnesium is an essential mineral. It is present in more than 300 enzymatic systems where it is crucial for energy production and other metabolic functions. The heart, brain and kidneys cannot function without adequate levels of this nutrient.

Magnesium Complex combines two excellent forms of magnesium-citrate and malate. Studies show that magnesium citrate and malate are soluble and among the best forms of magnesium. Each capsule provides 100 mg magnesium.

Magnesium Tablets, 250 MG

Magnesium [Nervous] is the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule, and in physiology it activates the ATP energy system. More than 300 enzymes require the presence of this mineral. Sixty percent of the body's magnesium is found in the bones, and the rest is found mainly in the soft tissues and blood. Magnesium is necessary for the metabolism of vitamin C, phosphorus, potassium and sodium. It should be taken when using calcium supplements. It is important to the nervous system and for the synthesis of certain proteins. Each tablet contains 250 mg of magnesium oxide and magnesium amino acid chelate, which provides 62.5 percent of the Daily Value for this nutrient. NSP Magnesium comes in a base of licorice root, kelp plant, peppermint leaves and white willow bark.

9: Foods that Keep Children Healthy 

They're our future!

Children aren't cows and unless you want your kids to grow up and have big bodies and little heads like cows, don't give them too many dairy products. Goat's milk and cheese, as well as sheep's cheese are better for kids. They are both low in casein, the glue that makes cow's milk so sticky and sweet. For another substitute give them rice or almond milk (Avoid soy). The flavored is best. Rice is a very mild grain.

The only cow dairy that's halfway digestible for kids are natural yogurts. The acidophilus culture consumes much of the gluey casein. For babies, goat's milk is a much healthier substitute for mother's milk than formula. It is higher in nutrition; better for the tummy and less inclined to trigger an allergy. It also makes less stinky diapers. Also, colic can be solved very quickly just by taking the child off cow's milk or formula and putting them on goat's milk. That's an old solution. Goat's milk is available in powdered form. Mixing it half and half with carrot juice makes a delicious, incredibly nutritious baby formula. Of the various juices you can give young children, carrot juice is one of the best. These days it is readily available in the refrigerator sections of many stores.

Breads, muffins, bagels and pasta made from wheat flour are high in the 'glue' called 'gluten'. It sticks to the walls of the bowels and causes all kinds of problems including yeast. In the freezer section of the natural foods market you'll find 100% sprouted breads. One of the best brands is Food For Life. They make Ezekiel bread, a traditional and very tasty bread perfectly suitable for sandwiches, French toast, bread crumbs or anything else you use bread for. It contains almost no gluten and it's packed with easy to assimilate nutrition. Keep it in the freezer and pop it in the toaster, as you need it. They make great raisin bread too!

White sugar is America's favorite poison and the damage it does is bizarre. There is an excellent, nutritious natural sweetener called Stevia. The high quality Stevia from NSP has no aftertaste and can be used any place that you might use sugar, for example to sweeten goat's milk. Avoid artificial sweeteners. Diet products like aspartame are even more toxic than sugar and if they are really so effective then why is obesity growing at such a frightening rate?

The powdered Coral Calcium can be added to all kinds of food to increase their mineral levels. Any kind of salad, tuna, chicken, egg, etc. will conceal the finely ground coral powder. The hardest thing to get into kids is vegetables and one of the main benefits of vegetables is their high mineral content. As a result most kids are low in minerals and coral powder overcomes that.

Liquid chlorophyll is a mild green drink with a mint flavor that's added to water. Kids like it and it helps with digestion and overall health. It is a huge help in skin issues as well as nervous conditions.

Many children are overexposed to antibiotics as babies, due to endless ear infections, usually caused by gluey, sweet cow's milk clogging up their ear canals. The drugs reduce the population of the intestinal flora in their bowels, that was first introduced to their bodies with their mother's milk. Many children benefit from daily supplementation with flora. For kids we suggest the l-Reuteri, since it's chewable, has a lemon flavor and doesn't require refrigeration. One in the evening before bed is a nice, healthy treat.

Children who weren't breast-fed could benefit from taking Colostrum daily. This is the material that precedes the mother's milk as the baby's first food and it is essential for the strength of the immune system. Children are around pollution as much as adults and antioxidants help protect them from those environmental stresses. NSP's Antioxidants with Grapine is a chewable that kids can have whenever there's a lot of stress in the day, whether due to being in school during the cold and flu season, or because they're at the beach with too much sun, surf and watermelon.

When a baby or young child is having a tummy ache, the liquid Catnip and Fennel is a good tasting, safe solution that calms them down and relieves gas pains. A few drops in the mouth or rubbed on the belly are usually enough.

Nut butters are great for kids, but the most popular is also the worst: peanut butter. It's widely marketed because it's cheap to produce. Instead use almond butter. Almonds are the only alkaline nut and are relatively low in fat. Mix some Coral Calcium powder into almond butter to boost its mineral levels and the kids will never notice the difference.

Kids have very sensitive skin, especially while they're sleeping. That's why smart parents wash their clothes and sheets in very gentle, liquid, non-phosphate soaps. We find that many allergies and other health problems can be greatly relieved just by washing your kid's clothes and sheets in natural detergents, which are widely available. You'll probably notice the difference too!

Sleeping kids are also very sensitive to electromagnetic fields. Keep all electronics, including clock radios, fans and even electrical plugs as far away from their beds as possible, especially the head of the bed. This may mean moving the side of the bed away from the wall, but it's worth it. These fields suppress the immune system and disrupt growth and sleep patterns. This is another thing that's important for adults too if you want to get a good night's sleep.

Stevia Powder

NSP Stevia Powder Extract is made from an unusually sweet herb called stevia (Stevia rebaudiana). Glycosides present in the Stevia rebaudiana plant, such as stevioside and rebaudioside, attribute to the plant's unique characteristics.
Fill scoop to line (approximately 1/4 teaspoon) and use as desired as a dietary supplement.
Also available in convenient .7 gram packets. Each box contains 50 two-serving packets of stevia powder extract. These small packets slip easily into your wallet or purse, ready for use anytime, anywhere.
Approximately two 1/4 teaspoon servings per packet.

Coral Calcium

Coral Calcium [Vital Nutrition] is designed especially for those who desire to keep their acidity levels within a normal range. Because coral calcium is naturally alkaline, it can be of great support to those who need to maintain normal-ranged pH levels. Plus, it provides essential calcium to help maintain bone integrity and health.
Each serving of Coral Calcium provides the body with 325 mg of readily available calcium, plus 163 mg of magnesium. We've also included montmorillonite clay, a full-spectrum trace mineral source that helps adsorb toxins from the digestive tract.
Many people-especially elderly men and women, middle-aged women, persons with a family history of osteoporosis and white and Asian women ages 11 to 35-can benefit from proper calcium intake. Scientific studies show that regular exercise and a healthy diet with adequate dietary minerals, such as those contained in Coral Calcium, can promote bone health.
Coral Calcium Capsules offer the same benefits as the powder. The capsules contain 110 mg of readily available calcium plus 55 mg of magnesium for bone mineralization.

Liquid chlorophyll

Benefits:
Helps promote the natural blood-cleansing functions of the body.
Promotes strong immune response.
Strengthens cells.
Deodorizes the body, including the bowel.

Chlorophyll [Intestinal] is the green pigment in plants that harnesses the sun's energy in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll performs metabolic functions in plants such as respiration and growth. Interestingly, the chlorophyll molecule is chemically similar to human blood, except that its central atom is magnesium, whereas that of human blood is iron. Liquid Chlorophyll may help improve immune response and deodorize the body. The alfalfa plant, from which Nature's Sunshine's chlorophyll comes, is an excellent source of chlorophyll. Nature's Sunshine offers chlorophyll in both liquid and capsules for varying needs.

l-Reuteri

Lactobacillus reuteri occurs naturally in the intestinal flora of humans and other animals. Reuteri helps to strengthen the body's natural defenses and maintain equilibrium in the gastrointestinal tract as it repopulates friendly flora in the gut. This strain secretes reuterin, a substance with powerful properties that helps maintain microorganic balance in the gut.

L. Reuteri may be taken with Probiotic Eleven to accelerate the growth of other beneficial strains. It helps soothe occasional intestinal irritation and is recommended for use after a round of cleansing. L. Reuteri is suitable for young children and adults-anyone who may need some extra friendly flora in times of imbalance. This product does not require refrigeration, so it's also great for travel.
Benefits:
Supports the intestinal system.
Maintains beneficial populations of microorganisms in the intestinal tract.
Relieves symptoms of occasional gastrointestinal distress, like bloating, pressure, upset stomach and gas.

Colostrum with Immune Factors

Colostrum with Immune Factors [Immune] is a combination of nutritional and herbal elements designed to nourish and support the immune system. The immune factors in this product are known to stimulate cytokines and strengthen the intestinal lining. This unique formula contains colostrum (the foremilk produced by mammals before the onset of lactation), inositol hexaphosphate ([IP6], has immunostimulatory actions), maitake mushroom (contains powerful beta-glucan), shiitake mushroom (stimulates macrophages) and astragalus (enhances the production of immunoglobulin and helps stimulate macrophages).

10: Hormonal Harmony for Women 

With Natural Progesterone Cream from Wild Yam

Ladies, do you experience: cramps - migraines - mood swings - fibrocystic breasts - frustration - endometriosis - uterine fibroids - irregular cycles - weeping - baby blues - irritability - infertility - non-cycling - dry skin - aggression - gas - fragility - bruise easily - acne - PMS - cravings - constipation - stiffness - irregular bleeding - leg and muscle cramps - breast tenderness - hot flashes - hypertension - bloating - lowered libido - exhaustion - depression - water retention - hair loss - headaches- facial hair - lethargy - anger - weight gain - osteoporosis - insomnia.

These are all symptoms of an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of natural progesterone, what we call estrogen dominance.

Being in Your Power: The 2 feminine hormones, progesterone and estrogen need to be in balance. Natural estrogen makes the body hold onto fluids, salts & fats and slows the metabolism. Natural progesterone helps the body to be sleek, pain free, youthful and sexy.

Prevent Osteoporosis: Natural progesterone stimulates the body to clean out old brittle bone minerals. Natural estrogen stimulates the application of fresh minerals. If they are not in balance you can't properly make bone.

Promote Fertility: Natural estrogen prepares for pregnancy. Natural progesterone is the vital key to maintaining the pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs progesterone flushes away the stored material so the body can begin the next cycle with fresh resources.

Wrinkle and Age Spot Free: Natural progesterone is created from the Wild Yam plant of Mexico, a tough tuber only distantly related to the common market yam. A powerful tissue builder and anti-inflammatory, it is famous for removing wrinkles and age spots.

Cost Effective: The natural progesterone manufacturing process patent is in the public domain, the gift of the scientist who developed the process who felt that this was such a universal benefit to women that it should be available to everyone inexpensively. We agree! A completely natural product, the best creams are available from the top network Herbal companies. In our research we have found Nature Sunshine Products Pro-G-Yam 500 NSP to be the world's best.

10: Hormonal Harmony for Women (continued) 

With Natural Progesterone Cream from Wild Yam

Why a Cream? The twice-daily application of a natural progesterone cream is without a doubt the best way to experience the benefits. Taken orally, very little progesterone will actually make it to the parts of the body where the ovaries would naturally distribute it, because the liver will convert it into other hormones. As a cream, you can control the distribution, including applying some of it directly over the ovaries. Extra can go on the face and hands.

Why Progesterone and Not Estrogen? The ovaries create 99% of the body's progesterone but only 60% of the estrogen. The other 40% is produced in the brown fat cells. When the ovaries are starved or malfunctioning your body still makes estrogen, but the flow of progesterone almost completely stops. Hormonal starvation is epidemic. Hormonal materials are found in uncooked olive oil, raw nuts & deep-water fish, foods most people don't eat often enough.

The Big Benefits of Natural Progesterone: In women, studies have shown it prevents osteoporosis, heart disease and cancer.

Why Natural Versus Synthetic: Herbal companies produce natural products like progesterone. Drug companies produce synthetic products like the Progestin found in Hormonal Replacement Therapy & birth control pills prescribed by MD's. In 2002, a major study of HRT funded with US tax dollars was halted half way through because so many women had either died or been debilitated by strokes, heart attacks or cancer as a result of taking these synthetic hormonal drugs. Taking responsibility for your own hormonal health using natural products is statistically safer.

Are you well informed enough to be healthy? This information has been known for a long time. Many women have benefited from it, but unfortunately more women have suffered in ignorance. We've seen many supposedly infertile women bear healthy children. We've seen seriously osteoporitic women restore height and healthy bones. We've seen amazing results and yet it is simply the result of feeding that most powerful system, the hormonal, what it is asking for, natural progesterone.

With Natural Progesterone Cream from Wild Yam

How to Use the Product: In the first month you need to go through two tubes. If you have serious challenges plan on 2 tubes a month for the first 3-6 months. A maintenance amount is 1 tube a month, for the rest of your life. You have a challenge if you suffer from symptoms on that beginning list.

What to Expect: If you have a challenge, expect some PMS when you begin. This will be due to the previously trapped estrogen flooding into the system, unlocked by the progesterone cleaning your estrogen receptor sites. Here's the secret. Start this on a Friday. Tell everyone to be extra nice to you. Then whenever you get any PMS symptoms use more cream immediately. Do not use less and do not stop! The more you use, the faster your body will process and flush the extra estrogen that is causing the PMS symptoms. Remember, that list of problems is caused by excess estrogen and the only thing that can clear it out is natural progesterone.

Why You Should Start Now: Hormones are the most powerful materials in the body. Every day that you are out of balance, you are not in your power. Everyday that you are hormonally balanced you are enjoying your birthright as a healthy woman. We prefer Pro G Yam Cream 500 from NSP

11: Men's Good Health 

The Best Defense is a Good Offense!

Take positive action now instead of being a victim later. The male anatomy is the focus of a major attack. Many commercial foods are carrying hidden toxins that are dangerous to the male hormonal system. They results are unhealthy weight gain, lowered libido and sexual performance, hair loss and increased hostility. They also make men more subject to prostate problems, tumors and cancers.

The best defense is choosing your foods carefully. Avoid meats from fast food outlets and cheap markets. Avoid all soy products, including soybean oil. Avoid cow dairy products; milk and cheese. If you like cheese, substitute with sheep and goat cheeses, preferably hormone free. All of these "avoid" foods are high in estrogens and xeno-estrogens. (xeno means that it is a synthetic version.)

Estrogen is a female hormone that is given to animals to put weight on them and produce bigger yields. Men don't need that much estrogen in their system. Statistically, prison inmates, especially violent offenders, produce dramatically higher levels of estrogen. Part of this is genetic abnormalities caused by estrogen high foods provided by the government and commercial food producers.

The best offense is supplementing with Nature's Sunshine Products herbs and supplements that prevent the absorption of estrogen. Here are products we strongly recommend for daily supplementation. In other words, keep taking them for as long as you want to feel like a healthy man.

Super Algae. This is a no-brainer. It balances blood sugar levels, provides the amino acids that proteins are made from and keeps energy levels high. It pulls out heavy metals, feeds the hormones and is a good overall supplement. 5 to 8 daily before meals keeps you lean.

Sarsaparilla. This "Spring Tonic" provides testosterone-like materials. Testosterone has gotten a bad rap. It's actually estrogen that makes people aggressive and angry. Testosterone is a socializing hormone, making you feel friendly and confident. When your body is processing enough testosterone it won't absorb estrogen. Sarsaparilla promotes the development of lean muscle mass & encourages hair growth. 5 capsules daily is about right.

11: Men's Good Health (continued) 

The Best Defense is a Good Offense!

Maca. This South American libido-enhancing herb is good for men and women. It's also a tremendous adrenal gland tonic that helps you deal better with stress or even adrenal 'burnout' where the adrenal glands are so punch-drunk they don't know which way to swing. When using Maca for libido and sexual performance, 5 daily is good but increase the capsules as you need to. This is a food. There are no adverse side effects so base it upon results.

TS II with Hops. A major target for estrogens is the thyroid where it gets stuck. Low thyroid used to be a 'women's' challenge, but as hidden hormones in the foods have increased, men are falling prey to this problem. The results are weight gain, hair lo
