BENOIT & ASSOCIATES

HEALTH EDUCATION NEWSLETTER

March – April, 2014

 

My waking thoughts of gratitude this morning were for our chickens and how I love the energy they bring…..although they aren’t as easy to train as some pets, they give us eggs, help fertilize our organic vegies and herbs, and provide never-ending entertainment. Stories of chickens doing backflips, kissing cats, climbing trees……entertaining!

I hope you, like the chickens digging about for some morsel of nourishment, find something of use in this newsletter!

 

Two quotes to start:

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Jiddu Krishnamurti

“That’s why I choose not to be well adjusted to the normal. I am well adjusted to achieving so much more in life, including the best health possible for myself, my loved ones, and those who choose to follow this path with me. ”             Lorene Benoit

 

Education and Upcoming Courses

Lorene will be presenting two courses: Winnipeg, May 3rd, and Berwick, Nova Scotia, May 6th. Please see details onUpcoming Courses.

Each month Lorene does interviews about her book, The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach To Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.
These interviews, of course depending on the host, cover the basics of the book, PLUS a lot of healing information related to achieving optimum health for everyone. Most Paw Paw Talk Shows are recorded here for your convenience.

Monica H.  Calgary, AB.

Success Stories

Weight Loss and Energy:

People are loving the NEW! Solstic Slim – enhanced weight loss with Grape, Yerba Mate, Green Tea & Damiana with natural Huckleberry flavour.

Both Solstics come in a box of 30 for $30 retail – members cost less – and each stick is good for 500 mls (2 cups).

Energy, tremors, diabetes:

I felt so exhausted all summer with no energy, no appetite, & bad tremors, it was quite scary.  All the medical tests I had done came back normal, including those ordered by the 3 specialists I was sent to.  On my own I finally decided to start taking adrenal support capsules & zambroza as I have been on thyroid medication since I was 9 years old & I have been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years and both those conditions are related to the adrenal gland.  I am very happy to report that I started feeling better and could function again within 3 or 4 days of taking the adrenal support capsules & zambroza and it was wonderful and such a relief.  Obviously those capsules are another excellent product as they sure helped me.

Sincerely,

R C

Healthy Baby
Well it was a great pleasure producing such a healthy baby and being asked why I didn’t have stretch marks, why my varicose veins were nearly gone etc. I attribute that to good nutrition and the NSP supplements I have been taking for years.

Here is the list, some of which I would like to now continue to stay healthy with the new babe:

HSN (Hair Skin & Nails)
Marshmallow pepsin
Cal Mag  & D
Super-vits and min
Green Zone
Liquid Chi mineral Chi Tonic
Liquid chlorophyll

I have been drinking a cup of nettle and raspberry leaf tea everyday.  I was having mild signs of pre-eclampsia and my midwife here in Kelowna had me drink lemon water and nettle tea everyday.  Within about a week things started to settle down.  Too cool.  I also started having trouble with clotting.  I would get a simple blood test done and I would bleed and bleed and bleed.  I am hoping that the nettle tea will help with that since it has Vit K, is that right?  So, I will get the 5W (a US product available through Benoit Health) and then I will take the bottle to Jane.  My pregnancy hasn’t exactly been smooth so I am cautious. I just want to do what is best for baby and me. I started having contractions at about 22 weeks.  But I am now 31 weeks!  Yipee!!!  We will stay connected and I hope you are well.

Take care, Elana

Political Scene

Good time to contact your local MP about opposing Bill C-36, especially if they are Liberal, and likely to vote in favour of this bill that harbours possible devasting effects on our rights to choice in health care. Natural supplements are already over regulated, even though their history of safety far surpasses that of drugs.

http://vimeo.com/13024940

20 minutes, but the first 10 mins. tells all. IF you watch the last portion, about a natural supplement offering help for bipolar, contact me if you would like more info on how NSP’s Super Vitamins and Minerals in high dosages (like 6 per day) can turn a person’s emotional state around.

Removing natural products would harm millions of people

It is difficult to understand how Canadians would be served by subjecting NHPs to consumer protection legislation which is not structured to regulate health products.

NHPs are not being driven off of the market by Health Canada for safety concerns. As far as I am aware, there has never been a documented death caused by a natural health product in our 143 years as a country. This does not mean that NHPs do not carry a risk. Risk is, however, relative. We know for example that nuts and shellfish cause a number of deaths and hospitalizations each year. It is a statistical fact that NHPs for which we cannot point to a single documented death in all of our history, are safer than peanut butter and shrimp which cause a number of deaths each year.

If the government were really concerned for our safety, they should be petitioning the minister for stricter regulation of peanut butter rather than of NHPs.

Perhaps one of the more sobering opinions comes from Dr. Marcia Angell in her article, Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption, where she writes: “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”

Anf rom ~Dr. Abram Hoffer MD PHD FRCP(C) : “For the past fifty years I have been demonstrating that the use of natural nutritional treatment is and must be the most effective form of medicine and that when it is not used and the profession depends soley on the use of toxic drugs the results are abysmal.”

Spiritual and Emotional Tips

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE with…an Attitude Free Zone
We all make a difference somewhere, somehow, every single day. The question is, “What kind of difference do we make?”

Making a difference is the lifeblood of one’s existence and therefore of any organization we work for or contribute to. Everything flows from it and is nourished by it …it’s an attitude.

To create alignment between yourself and an individual that is problematic for you, the very best place to begin is with Behavior Modification’s #1 Rule: Before you can change anyone else you must first change yourself. So, what do you need to change? Your attitude!

Before you can change anyone else…. you must first change yourself

You simply cannot have an attitude and keep it a secret! If you don’t like an individual, you will not be able to work with them harmoniously or successfully. Your attitude determines whether you are a divider or a unifier. You cannot create synergy from constant discord and fault finding. While you may have concrete evidence that “they” are the problem, without taking the initiative to connect with them from a non-adversarial position you are in fact participating in the problem. You are either contaminating or contributing to an outcome based on what you’ve decided about any given individual or situation.

If you want an immediate improvement, you must be willing change your attitude: fear, judgments, entitlement, prejudices and condescending labels. In doing this you change your attitudinal energy for the better and this will positively impact and heal unproductive behaviors, seeing better and faster results than you could have imagined.

Change your attitude, and you shift the resistant energy between you and another quickly and in an easy, relaxed manner. The “energy” of your attitude is — and always will be – the key factor to the success of your interpersonal experiences.

How do you get to alignment? Get really honest with yourself, “What have I really decided about this person?” After you see how you’ve labeled them, simply decide to pull that attitude of yours back in to your own energy zone. Suspend judgment and you literally make an energetic safe space: an Attitude Free Zone – or AFZ as I like to call it – in an instant. When you do this, you are changing yourself and will powerfully and energetically influence what is happening between you and others involved in a productive direction.

If you don’t like something, change it.
If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

– Maya Angelou     Section 5: pg 82

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”    Max Planck, father of the quantum physics

Yours in health,

Herbal Intensive Course: Come, Learn, And Enjoy

The Cowichan Valley supports a lush growth of plants that have been traditionally used for medicinal purposes, as well as for food.

Each summer for the past 12 years people of North America have gathered here to take part in a Herbal Intensive of 3 to 4 days to really get in touch with these gifts from nature.

We study:

  • indigenous, wild, and some cultivated botanicals
  • the Doctrine of Signatures 
  • plant identification
  • harvesting ethically
  • storing and preparing the plants 
  • using  them for medicinal purposes.

Someone might get a poultice applied; another a compress. Faces often contort as we taste the various decoctions!

We learn how to prepare and apply herbs in a practical and fun “hands on” setting. 

One trained practitioner from Calgary, Alberta wrote this in her evaluation:      
I learned to identify herbs out in the field, herbs which I have used with people for many years but never knew what they looked like.  It was great to see them in their natural habitat.  It helped me get to know them better as living beings! ”
Monica H.  Calgary, AB.

The Medicine Wheel, which is part of what is shared in the Annual Herbal Intensive, integrates four pillars of health:

  • physical,
  • spiritual,
  • mental and
  • emotional.

Tied into this are the active principles and actions of herbs, seasons, directions, animal guides, and tastes.

This year, we will be offering a special workshop just on the Medicine Wheel the afternoon before, July 9th, 2010 from  1 – 4 pm.

People are welcome to take this on its own, and those attending the Intensive are encouraged to arrive early and participate in the Medicine Wheel workshop.

Join us to experience the healing powers we have been provided with by getting in touch with herbs.

Come to learn and to feel the peace of nature seep into your cells, guided by one of Canada’s leading herbal experts,  Master Herbalist and Healer of over 30 years.

On beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia – build a holiday of your lifetime around this event! Please contact our office for posters with details.
 
Many traditional lifestyles embrace the significance of four……

The four directions, north, east, south and west,
Balance between these offers life at its best.
The four seasons and winter, spring, summer and fall,
The four elements, air, fire, water and earth, represents all.
The four races of man, represented in the colours red, yellow, black and white,
The four changes in a day, sunrise, noon, sunset and night.

Blended within these are the spirits of creation, life, love and light.
Follow a pathway of the heart to truth, peace and harmony.

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 8th – 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.

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.

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.
