Lorene  continues to teach the Untold Truths –excellent information in these mini courses, written and recorded by professionals in the field. “Transform Your Health – Transform Your Shape” teaches us how the body metabolism works and covers topics of Diabesity, Estrogen Dominance, Revving up Metabolism, plus how Stress Toxicity and Emotions can all affect Weight Challenges.  Course taught locally June 8^th – see below.

Ongoing scientific studies suggest that the average person needs supplementation to not be deficient and to add healthy, quality years to our lives.

The Untold Truth Series are wonderful teaching tools for both personal and family use AND for business purposes, if you want to help others learn how to take control of their own health and better life.

If anyone would like to purchase these courses, the CDs are $5 and the entire course, which includes a 50 – 65 page booklet, summary pamphlets suitable for sharing, questionnaire and product suggestions are available for $15 – 25 & S/H if applicable. Please contact our office. Topics available are:

The professionals that write and record these courses all agree that there is ample proof indicating we need a wide range of vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, and anti-oxidants on a daily basis. Due to modern living, pollution and food sources it has become next to impossible to meet our needs with a healthy diet alone, and definitely not with the SAD = Standard American Diet.

Benoit Health Top Video Picks of the Month

 

I watch many (too many?) health related videos weekly. These are a couple that I recommend you take the time to view – short, informative, to the point and promote the same teaching as our office.

 

Gluten Sensitivity – Dr. Hyman has a good 7 minute videos on Utube : very informative, explains how and why gluten has a negative effect on many people. Not just those who have diagnosed celiac, but many chronic conditions such as  osteoporosis, arthrtitis, Mulitple Sclerosis, auto-immune conditions, plus mental conditions including depression and autism. The simple solution is to eliminate all gluten from your diet for 3 – 4 weeks, then introduce and pay attention. It is worthwhile looking at:

Food Matters: how to change our health – this is a 3 minute trailer for the movie Food Matters, which will greatly impact how and what you eat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4DOQ6Xhqss

The Zyto Compass is helping many people to accurately choose supplements suited for their specific needs based on their current reading of 76 biomarkers. This company and the founder, Dr. Vaugn Cook,  also offers webinars to better understand this too. It has also helped others who are wanting to do business helping others find better health.

If you would like to know more about using this tool to help develop business, for the personal health care of your family, or to find someone in your part of the country who can offer you an assessment, please contact our office.

Success Stories

 

You Don’t have to Have Lupus or Be Diseased . Just Make a Decision Says Lynn

Ten years ago Lynn was diagnosed with Lupus and was given 2 years to live.

“My whole life ended and I went into a deep depression. I was hospitalized to a psych ward for a period of 3 months. I was totally overwhelmed and I broke down.” For years Lynn’s life was totally consumed by doctors. Visits to doctors’ offices were her entire social life.

“I was letting the doctors tell me what to do. I was living on borrowed time. All I did was make appointments with doctors and sit around in the waiting rooms to see doctors. I shaved my legs daily to see doctors. I was up to visiting 15 doctors a week. I was very timid and I was lost. I was bitter. Why is my life shutting down? ”

No one could give Lynn an answer. Then one day she made a decision – a decision that changed her life. Someone had told her about an expert herbalist and she decided to visit her for a consultation. The consultation discovered that Lynn was very deficient in many different minerals, enzymes , and essential fatty acids. On July 31/06 Lynn started on her new adventure.

“I decided I would do exactly what the herbal specialist said I should do. I taped the instructions to my fridge and I stuck to the program.

Every day Lynn took the following Nature’s Sunshine herbal program:

Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic 3 oz a day

1 Tbs. GreenZone Super Food

LIV-C 12 capsules a day

Super Oil 4 capsules a day

Colostrum 4 a day

No sugar, pop, wheat, yeast products. A diet of vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, hormone free meat or poultry, eggs. Plenty of pure water for hydration and to help with flushing of toxins. Chlorophyll added for extra nutrition and alkalizing.

At the end of August/2006 Lynn visited her liver specialist who did a liver enzyme test for her. The results showed the liver enzymes to be down to normal for the first time in 10 years. The doctor couldn’t believe it and so he did another liver test just in case there was an error in the testing procedures. Once again the liver test showed the enzyme levels to be perfectly normal. All other blood tests showed everything to be in the normal range. The blood pressure came down from 180/110  to 127/85.  The doctor was absolutely amazed and told Lynn she wouldn’t have to see him for another 6 months. Lynn also weaned off 5 of her 7 medications- the anti malaria drugs, the blood pressure meds, the diuretics, the potassium and the arthritic pain drugs.

Today Lynn rarely has any pain. The cramps she would have in the liver and the ribs every time she ate have gone. Her leg cramps decreased dramatically. She rarely gets headaches any more and her sugar cravings are gone. The anxiety attacks, stress and depression are gone. Her sporadic menstrual cycle is normal now.

“I learned I had to speak for myself and do it myself. I was letting the doctors tell me what to do. I changed my eating habits. I changed my shopping habits from cookies and potato chips to fruits and vegetables. I get excited when I cook now. I discovered how my intestinal tract works. I feel younger today then I did 10 years ago.”  Lynn’s advice is to gain knowledge about yourself and to do it yourself.

How many quality years do you have left? What are you waiting for?

Weight loss tip?    “When I buy cookies I eat just four and throw the rest away. But first I spray them with Raid so I won’t dig them out of the garbage later. Be careful, though, because Raid really doesn’t taste that bad.”                                                                                             – Janette Barber

Business Tips

More and more workers will continue to leave the work force and start their own part-time networking business. Why? They are bored or frustrated with their present jobs. Industry experts estimate that 40% of all sick days occur on Fridays and Mondays. This estimate confirms the workers’ desire to leave a boring workplace environment. If you like health, enjoy helping others, and are interested, contact us.
