Bladder Infections

Bladder infections can cause irritating problems, such as sudden urge to urinate, leakage, inability to stop the flow of urine, itching, or burning. Untreated, there is a possibility of infection progressing up the tubules connecting to the kidneys, which is not desirable. Women are more prone to bladder infections due to the shorter urether. As much as doctors may say bladder infections are normal for women, they are not healthy, and should not be the norm in anyone. If they re-occur, it is because they are not getting treated properly in the first case and are re-infecting, or the cause has not been eliminated. In other words, there is no reason women, men or children should have these, and if you do, you need to get to the bottom of it and get rid of it!

Some causes in women can be:

  • wiping in the wrong direction and contamination with feces
  • yeast/candida infections
  • too much sugar in the diet, which lowers the immune system
  • improper diet, which creates pH imbalance
  • anti-biotic overuse, which creates resistant bacteria and flora imbalance
  • food sensitivities
  • chemicals from personal care products: douches, deodorants, soaps, lubricants, powders, bathing products

Treatment consists of determining the cause(s), then treating naturally so the pathogen is eliminated, then creating a healthy environment where they don’t flourish. Herbs bring the body into balance without upsetting the natural flora and fauna and protective shield of mucous membranes. They also do not cause side effects as do many antibiotics.

One of the best formulas is K Combination designed for overall health of the urinary system, containing parsley root, juniper berries, uva ursi, and dandelion root. It is a herbal source of iron, manganese, potassium, sodium, vitamin A and riboflavin.

We suggest adding Cranberry Buchu, which is a concentrated capsule of 435 mg. pure cranberry with Buchu. The herb buchu prevents infection-causing bacteria, such as E. coli, from adhering to the lining of the urinary tract. It has been traditionally used to help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections.

If the infection is very established, stronger herbal antibiotics, such as Golden Seal Echinacea combo and or Silver Shield used as a douche and internally may be required.

Along with the herbs, clean up the diet, eliminate ALL sugar, drink plenty of pure water, (more than your recommended ½ oz. per pound of body weight), add fresh lemon, lime and or Chlorophyll to help alkalinize the blood, and get adequate rest. Many suggestions for healthful lifestyle including diet, stress, exercise and recipes are in my book:

 Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally

If the above do not clear it up, seek the advice of a qualified natural health practitioner.

If one has taken chemical antibiotics in the past 6 months, a quality probiotic/ prebiotic combination is recommended to re-establish growth. Certain probiotics capsules may also be used as a vaginal suppository to relieve some symptoms and re-lubricate.

For people who have had several bladder infections, we suggest that once the infection is cleared, to continue on a maintenance dose of 2-3 Cranberry Buchu per day for at least 3 months, then 1-2 as needed to remain clear of infections. This is inexpensive insurance to avoid the hassles and strain to the immune system of having repeated infections.

Fungus Among Us – Athlete’s Foot and Nail Fungus

Candida /Fungus, Silver, , , , ,

We have been asked if there are natural solutions to these two problems which afflict many people of all ages, and the answer is yes! Whether it is  athlete’s foot, the painful, burning, blistering,  and cracking under and between toes; or whether it is nail fungus on the hands or feet, there IS help naturally.  Nail fungus may result in yellowing, thickening or separation of nails.

Both of these are  fungal and or yeast infections, which place a strain on your body’s immune system,  and should not be ignored. Treating these conditions naturally is important  because many of the OTC (Over The Counter) and prescription drugs for these conditions can be very toxic to the liver.  For many people the fungus/yeast is systemic, meaning it is in various body systems such as bowel and may also need internal herbal treatment. Some suggestions can be found here: Candida/Yeast

For more specifics, or help with ordering a program for you, please contact us

The main challenge is that you MUST be persistent with these treatments, meaning twice daily until the condition is gone. If you have had it for months or years, it can take several months. If it is recent, you will usually see results within 1 – 2 weeks. Here are the external protocols we have found to be very effective.

 

Nail Fungus

Step #1  Soak affected feet or hands in hot salt water. This is easy to do while reading, watching TV or eating. 10 – 15 minutes  in water as warm as you like with roughly 1 tsp. salt to 4 cups/1 litre hot water. A more pleasant way to do this is  walking in the water at a warm tropical beach, but if this is not an option, the former will work. If your nails are very hardened and thickened, judicious scraping with a nail file under the nail after soaking  will help reduce thickness and make nails more open to the next 2 steps.

Step #2  Apply Tei Fu Oil  to the affected nails. It only takes a couple of drops of this multi-purpose essential oil blend, which will penetrate better after the soaking. Try to get it under the nails.

Morning and evening is best for steps 1 & 2. Then after evening treatment add step #3:

Step #3  Fill finger or toe cott (purchased at any drugstore) with Silver Gel – usually 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. depending on size of finger or toe, and roll it over the affected appendage and leave on overnight. This will allow the nail to soak in the Silver Gel for an extended period of time, so the silver can eliminate the fungus. In the morning remove and start over with step #1 or if you do not have time for soaking, just wash, dry and apply Tei Fu Oil (Step #2).

Although this may seem like a lot of time and trouble, once you get into the routine, you will find it easy to keep up and the results will be well worth it. If you miss step 1, the soaking, you can still do #2 and #3, but all 3 steps work the best. Anything is better than nothing! If you do not see results within one month, please contact our office. As mentioned in into above, some people have systemic yeast/fungus and may need internal herbal treatment.

 

Athlete’s Foot

Step #1  Soak affected feet or hands in hot salt water. This is easy to do while reading, watching TV or eating. 10 – 15 minutes  in water as warm as you like with roughly 1 tsp. salt to 4 cups/1 litre hot water. A more pleasant way to do this is  walking in the water at a warm tropical beach, but if this is not an option, the former will work.

Step #2  Apply the Silver Gel generously under and between the toes. Wear clean dry cotton socks, or bare feet so your feet can breathe.

Repeat Steps 1 & 2 morning and evening. If no time for step #1, still do Step #2, applying the Silver Gel.

Success Stories

 Testimonials on Lorene Benoit’s book  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer

From DL, Canada:

  I was most impressed with the clarity and use of “layman’s language”, the small sized book, with easy to read larger print for old eyes, and even little cartoons to break the monotony! I learned so much from “The Paw Paw Program – A Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer” about cancer that I hadn’t heard about and statistics I didn’t understand! I never knew it was a fungus that feeds on sugar and yeast! I just knew it was a deadly disease that required chemotherapy that made you lose your hair or radiation that sapped your body energy, leaving a person unable to live normally. We are all quite familiar with surgery, possible infections and blood clots, which I wanted none of!! I had only ever had surgery for appendicitis when I was 17 years old. I am now 80 years old and was booked for hip replacement which I wanted done to regain my mobility and life.

My youngest son urged me to get the hip done to restore my `quality of life`, and not to have the radiation he had about 10 years ago. I told this to my daughter, Alexis Gilchrist, who is studying herbology, and she said, `Yes! and then you can go on the Paw Paw Program! “ (Which I knew nothing about – so she gave me one of Lorene Benoit`s books to read).

The information made so much sense to me that it took no time to make my personal decisions! I ordered the necessary herbs to cleanse, build my body and immune system and ones to clean out the cancer cells that may have been left after 3 biopsies. (There were none found in 19 lymph glands tested). I have now had my hip replaced and home doing very well. I believe the herbal build up made me so much healthier that my body responded so well with absolutely no pain that even the doctors were surprised!!!

I was so pleased with the information in the book that I gave it to 3 friends of mine who are retired nurses. They also thought it very good and factual. 2 of the 3 said they were going to buy copies. I intend to continue sharing mine so people will have opportunity to learn as I did from it.

I am taking the Paw Paw program and doing very well!

  Thank you very much for writing the Paw Paw Program book! What an eye-opener!

SN, US:

  I received great news after my scans in August. They showed that there are no new tumors or inflammation anywhere and the tumors that were there have shrunk in size. There is greatly reduced inflammation in the bones of my hips (where doctors had been very concerned before) and the doctors are very pleased with what is happening. I know the pawpaw, as well as the diet and everything else I’m doing, is contributing to my success.                         Thanks.

WHAT IS IT?

Candida albicans is a form of parasitic yeast which thrives in warm-blooded animals. Candida normally populates the bowel, vagina and mucous membranes. In those with healthy immune systems, it is kept in balance by friendly bacteria such as acidophilus and bifidophilus bacteria. If the balance is upset, the Candida proliferates.

As it multiplies in a hospitable environment, this single cell can rapidly develop into new strains, which is why target- specific drugs have limited effect. Researchers have identified multiple species of Candida, including C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, and C. dubliniensis. Canvas bulgeris as a secondary fungus that can cause many of the symptoms that accompanies Candida albicans.  Researchers who follow the polymorphic philosophy, believe that these are forms of the same organism as it progresses through different stages. It is known that Candida albicans can change its structure and metabolism into a fungal form, with a mass of filaments that can penetrate into surrounding tissue. These filaments are called mycelium. These mycelium can penetrate the lining of the colon, where Candida overgrowth usually begins, and enter the bloodstream. This is how Candida can spread to other organs and systems. When it enters the blood stream, it can travel to any weaker areas of the body, creating infectious – type responses. At this stage it is now considered to be “systemic yeast infection”. At this  systemic stage, it can severely affect your health.  As the fungi multiply they also produce toxins which circulate in the blood stream & cause all kinds of sickness & illness,  known also as Candidiasis.

 

SYMPTOMS:

Candida ferments glucose, maltose, sucrose, and lactose to produce gas, acids, ethanol alcohol, as well as acetaldehydes, which can inactivate our body’s enzymes. These and other toxic by-products produce an intoxicated effect if they reach high levels in the blood.  Symptoms can be so far reaching that until a few years ago allopathic doctors refused to believe that Candida could be responsible for so many diverse symptoms and refused to recognize its dangerous potential. The symptoms will often fall under one or more of the following categories:

Allergies: partially due to the inactivation of enzymes and therefore the body ends up absorbing incompletely digested dietary proteins. Allergies can range from food sensitivities, to debilitating environmental hypersensitivities. Chemical reactions, pet allergies, continuous nasal congestion or drainage, dark circles under eyes are some examples.

Gastrointestinal: digestive and intestinal problems: 3Bs: belching, burping and bloating, gas, fatigue after meals, diarrhoea or constipation or both, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut.

Immune deficiency: yeast infections, thrush or mouth sores, frequent infections: ears, tonsils, bronchitis, diaper rash, bladder infections, vaginal or rectal burning or itching, discharge.

Nervous system: difficulty concentrating, poor coordination, mood swings, depression (both unipolar and bipolar), hyperactivity, poor attention span, mental confusion and anxiety.

Skin: constant skin problems, pimples on cheeks, rashes, athlete’s foot, ringworm, cradle cap, jock itch, psoriasis.

Nutritional deficiencies and imbalances: cravings for junk foods & sugar, dry mouth or throat, fatigue, difficulty getting pregnant, PMS problems including menstrual cramps.

Nails, Toenail fungus: read Fungus Among Us for specific solutions to this common yeast challenge, including athlete’s foot..

 

CAUSES:

Antibiotics: promote the growth of Candida by killing friendly intestinal bacteria that control Candida, plus destroy Vit B and K.

Birth control pills: weaken the immune system, alter hormones, release toxins & destroy folic acid, Vitamins C, B6, B2, B12, B1 and E.

Cortisone and other steroid hormones: suppress immune system and destroy Vit A, B6, D, C, zinc and potassium.

Hormones: Progesterone suppositories produce a hormonal imbalance & cause yeast infections. Repeated pregnancies can increase changes in hormonal balance.

Sex:  partners can re-infect each other, so both should follow treatment to eliminate Candida.

Stress: weakens overall immunity, making it a prime target for opportunistic yeast infections.

Diet: Just like the yeast you may use for baking bread, Candida grows rapidly on sugar and flour. Too much acid-forming foods such as meat, poultry, eggs or farmed fish create an imbalanced pH.  Antibiotics and hormones are fed and injected into cattle, chicken and turkeys. Aim for a diet of 80% alkaline, (vegetables of every color and shape) and 20% acid forming foods.

Mold in your environment.

 

TREATMENT: As with all health challenges, the Four Pillars of Health need to be considered:

1. Nutrition

Follow a healthy diet, which may also be called a Candida Diet. Think of this not as a restriction diet until Candida is gone, but rather as life-long dietary changes that promote ongoing health and build the immune system. Look at broadening your healthy food choices, rather than as an elimination diet. Eliminate causes listed above – replace drugs and improve health with herbs.

Specific recommendation for yeast, fungal and candida can be found here: Optimum Diet

2. Exercise

Energy begets energy. Choose a form of exercise that suits your lifestyle, your interests and level of health, then stick with it and enjoy it.

3. Emotional

Think positively as you begin taking the steps to improve your own health and you will reap the benefits. As you cleanse your body physically, you will find it easier to cleanse emotional toxins.

4. Supplementation

Herbs, enzymes and probiotics work on a two step approach.

First, the climate or environment of the body needs to be changed to eliminate Candida overgrowth, while increasing the friendly bacteria. You do not want to be a good host to Candida and you do want to create an environment that is a great host to the friendly bacteria.

Second, herbs are used to nourish a weakened body and thereby strengthen the immune system

Once the situation is under control, maintenance programs promote strong immunity and are highly recommended.

 

SUPPLEMENTS TO CHOOSE FROM:

  • Candida Clear:  A complete 14 day Candida cleanse an effective combination of anti-candida herbs taken with meals, and enzymes taken between meals.
  • Bifidophilus Flora Force or Probiotics 11: 2 per day upon arising with  1 cup of water,  plus 2 tsps. Chlorophyll (optional).

 

These previous two are a complete herbal program, when accompanied by dietary change, adequate water intake and daily bowel movements. The following are alternatives to the Candida Clear program and effective for maintenance. All of the products listed in this article have complete Fact sheets, as well as the advice of trained herb specialists.

  • Digestive Enzymes: 1-2 with each meal.
  • Para Pak consists of Wormwood (Artemisia) Comb, Caprylic Acid Combination, Herbal Pumpkin: Elecampane is a specific for aiding the body to eliminate the Canvas bulgeris fungus. Caprylic Acid, from coconut, is a fungicidal for Candida albicans.
  • Yeast Fungal DeTox:  herbal combination designed to eliminate yeast and support overall health
  • Black Walnut: specific for Candida, helps rebuild a low thyroid, eliminate other parasites.
  • HRP-C: Chinese immune boosting formula for virus, fungal and yeast infections.
  • High Potency Garlic: enteric coated with chlorophyll, low odour, full potency.
  • Pau D’Arco (Taheebo): immune booster, inhibits yeast, viral & parasitic infections.
  • Cat’s Claw with Astragalus and Echinacea: anti-yeast and immune booster
  • Paw Paw (Asimina triloba) is also an excellent anti-fungal herb. This herb is powerful enough to be effective for cancer, as written in my book,” The Paw Paw Program – A Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer”

N.B. The bowels must move regularly (2 healthy BMs/day) for optimum health. If necessary add Psyllium Hulls Combo with LBS or Cascara to achieve this. Hydrated Bentonite helps to adsorb toxins and carry them out through the bowel as Candida is eliminated and will help prevent too serious a “die off reaction”.

For chronic Candida follow a maintenance/prevention for 5 days a month, after you have cleared it up. Suggested is to take 4 per day of any of the above formulas, or one of the Paks.

If you can do this around full moon, it will be more effective. Doing it 5 days/month means that one set of herbs will last for 5 months, so this is a worthwhile investment.

 

For optimum nutrition:

  • Green Zone added to shakes or smoothies helps provide dense nutrition, and alkaline body pH that one could get from 5-8 servings of green vegetables.

Parasites, Pets and People

Healthy Solutions, , , , , , ,
Update April, 2021:

Some product links are updated, some links  deleted. You can search other products not linked, on the NSP  US or NSP CA, or Contact us for professional assistance; no charge for ordering or product information.

People have more than 600 parasites that can live in and off them. Pets tend to harbour less species, but some of the more devastating ones are transferable to humans. Perhaps this is why most people are more conscientious about parasite treatment for their house pets than for themselves.

Parasites are any  ranging from microscopic size to meters in length. They cause health challenges in 3 main ways:

  • they eat, stealing nutrition from their host
  • they reproduce, often in terrific numbers
  • they secrete toxins, which cause a host of toxic challenges for the host

Fairly common in North America are roundworms, or ascarids that grow up to six inches in length in pets and up to one foot in humans; pin worms; whip worms, tape worms, guardia, lyme, candida, yeast, fungus….

Some good prevention tips are:

  • avoid touching feces of pets and humans
  • wash hands  frequently
  • avoid eating raw meat and fish
  • ensure healthy digestive system – if you are over 30 yrs. of age digestive enzymes are usually required
  • clean intestines: probiotics, adequate fibre and regular bowel movements,
  • protect yourself from biting insects, such as mosquitoes and ticks

For years it was thought that parasites were only a problem in tropical countries. We’ve had clients with worms, Guardia lamblia, Amoebic dysentery to mention a few, never having left their home town.

Anti parasitic herbs have been used worldwide for millennium. Herbal treatments are less toxic to the body than chemical treatments. Here is  an easy effective herbal recipe for cats and dogs containing well known parasiticide herbs to eradicate worms and parasites, followed by an effective parasite cleanse for people.

Worm Balls for Pets

12 capsules of Herbal Pumpkin

16 oz raw ground beef, other meat or canned food

Open Herbal Pumpkin capsules and mix into room temperature  meat.  Roll it into a ball, about 1/2″ in diameter or ½ tsp. Freeze balls on a cookie sheet, then store in a ziplock bag. Give 1 per day per  25 pounds. Dogs will eat frozen or thawed, cats prefer thawed. Each time you open the freezer they will be waiting for their treat!

These also make their fur shiny. “Herbal Pumpkin” contains pumpkin seeds, black walnut hulls, turkey rhubarb root, violet leaves, chamomile flowers, mullein leaves, marshmallow root and slippery elm bark. For humans, just use the capsules.

 

Parasite Cleanse For People

This is a complete and effective parasite cleanse. For seasonal  basic cleansing, either one of the herbal Paks can be taken on their own as a 10 -1 5 day cleanse. Please contact our office if you have any questions during these cleanses or to order these professional products direct.

Begin the parasite cleanse by starting with

  • Tiao He Pak – it is a whole body herbal cleansing program in 30 convenient packets.  Mark  start date on calendar. Take one packet 15 minutes before or with meals 3 X day (breakfast, lunch and dinner.)  Drink 1 glass of water each time with the packet.  It will take you ten days to complete this program, or 15 days  at 2X day, if 3 per day is too strong for you.  As soon as you are finished, start with
  • Para Cleanse – a parasite cleansing program with 20 packets to be taken 15 minutes before or with meals 2X day (breakfast and dinner). After completion in 10 days, stop for 7-10 days.  Mark this on your calendar, as you will repeat this process.
  • While on your 7-10 days off Para Pak, take Bifidophilus or Probiotics 11: 2 capsules before bedtime and 2 capsules in the morning before breakfast. Do this each time during the days between Para Pak. You can stop probiotics while doing the next set of Para Pak. Keep either of these pre and probiotic blends in the fridge or freezer after opening bottle. We suggest 2 bottles taken during and after the parasite cleanse.

You will do 4 sets all together (including 1 Tiao He Pak and 3 Para Paks) to make sure that you have rid all the parasites, larvae and eggs.  In future, should you begin to feel energy loss or feel lethargic, this could be a sign that the parasites are again increasing.  Start the Para Pak program again and do it 3 times in a row (10 on and 7-10 days off) with Bifidophilus or Probiotic 11 during the off days.  Depending on how long you have had the parasites, it may take another one or two times to bring them totally under control.  In future, drink filtered water and take other necessary precautions with pets, hand washing etc. Parasite cleansing is recommended at least once per year. This replacement of friendly flora in the lower gut  helps  keep the bacteria load at acceptable levels.

 

Dietary and other suggestions during cleanse

With both cleanses dietary suggestions are simple: include lots of fresh vegetables and especially green, leafy sources in your diet.  Recommended – each morning have ¼ cup raw oatmeal mixed in plain yogurt with fruit if you prefer.  Avoid wheat grains and all flour products; whole quinoa, amaranth, millet, kamut or buckwheat are acceptable. Avoid coffee, alcohol, all sugar and fried foods.  For protein, use nuts, seeds or add a vegetarian protein powder daily. Drink hot water – at least 2 – 4 cups a day – you can add Liquid Chlorophyll.

During this process, change bedding often and  underwear daily.  Wash hands frequently and for certain after using the washroom – avoid fingers in the mouth, eyes and nose.  If you have pets, wash your hands after handling them.  It is a good idea to have your pets do a parasite cleanse as well, as this may be your source of contamination.  Herbal Pumpkin Worm Balls and Black Walnut are two herbs that will help with this process ongoing,  Contact our office for more information, or for other uses of herbs to keep your pets healthy.

Additional aid – You can help the process by inserting crushed raw garlic directly into the colon with a syringe. Blend 2 cloves of garlic in ½ cup warm water.  Alternately crush garlic if no blender. In fetal position insert with bulb syringe.  Hold as long as you can.  This is an excellent expellant when tape worms are present.  You may experience a slight temporary burning sensation.

Pamper Foods for the Colon and Intestine

  • Raw Steel Cut Oatmeal & blueberries or grated apple or banana. Mix ¼ cup with yogurt and blueberries or grated apple.  This is an ideal breakfast which will help promote colon health (a gentle fibre) and clean blood plasma.  You may consider a sprinkling of ground flaxseed, Flax Hull Lignans, or hemp – a very good idea.
  • Boiled Rice Soup—or “Congee” – Method: ½ cup small grain rice in a large pot – stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil with a little sea salt.  Mix well.  Add 2 – 3 cups of water and allow to simmer for an hour or more, stirring often and adding more water when needed until you have a thick, soupy mixture.  You may add blueberries with maple syrup and use as a morning food, or use plain anytime of day with vegetables.  This is a good food once a day when doing a body or parasite cleanse, softening and making it easier to eliminate adhered debris in the intestines.  Parasites do not like this consistency.
  • Oatmeal Drink – Make a thick oatmeal drink by cooking ½ cup oatmeal in 2 cups or more boiling water with a little sea salt.  Allow to boil on medium heat for 15 minutes or more and then strain the oats out.  Drink this thick fluid.  If you need, add some stevia or Xylitol as sweetener. This has a calming affect, allowing for ease in evacuation and is considered pamper food for the colon and probiotics.

 

Summary

You will need the following for this cleanse:

  • 1 Tiao He Pak herbal cleanse (10 days)
  • 2-3 Para Paks – parasite cleanse (3 is better insurance that all eggs that hatch are killed).  Each Para Pak is 10 days.
  • Bifidophilus Flora Force or Probiotic 11 – friendly bacteria – during the 7-10 days off Para Pak.
  • Psyllium Hulls Combination – optional fibre – recommended if you lack fibre in your food.  This also helps removes toxins quickly.
  • Liquid Chlorophyll – you cannot overdose with this supplement

THE PAW PAW PROGRAM – A “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS”APPROACH TO CANCER…..THE WORLD IS ROUND AND CANCER CAN BE TREATED NATURALLY”

This book began in April, 2005, when I wrote, “A Complementary Approach to Cancer“, for a series of cross Canada Health Classes to teach people about Paw Paw, a herb used as part of a natural program for cancer.

The end result is a 286 page book offering a program that works, is affordable, and can be combined with allopathic treatments. The book includes background, research, all instructions, and dietary suggestions about protein, pH, additional supportive supplementation, treatment options, lifestyle suggestions, case studies, success stories, and more. It answers a lot of the questions that have been asked by those following the program the last 5 years! It is professionally done, with charts and illustrations, making it easy to understand.

This book was written to offer help to anyone dealing with cancer, as well as to help understand causes and incorporate preventative lifestyle changes. For practitioners working with Cancer this book is a must to save you time and help your clients understand a natural approach.

Success Stories

 

Candida Clear Cleanse:

“I am having fantastic feedback from everyone who uses the Candida Clear Cleanse. Six different people who did this cleanse ALL lost weight within the 2 week s– the men lost up to 20 pounds, the women between 10 – 13 pounds

One woman who has bad indigestion, belching for years now knows exactly when she takes something that is not good for her.  This has really helped people understand the importance of diet. People are sleeping better, getting rid of belly bulge and having way better energy. Until people step up to the plate and try they do this cleanse, they cannot really understand the detrimental effect alcohol, bread, sugar and fast foods have on their health. If someone has problems with alcohol, they  are best to do the Tiao He Cleanse first.”   Liz

Thanks for sharing Liz! We could probably all benefit from a Candida cleanse after Christmas.

Silver:

We continue to get great success stories with both the liquid Silver Guard and Silver Gel. We are taking ½ to 1 tsp. a day of the liquid Guard – keeps our immune system strong, and Dr. Pedersen sees results worldwide for this helping to prevent flu and many other infections! Silver is much safer than injecting thimersol (mercury) or other preservatives, formaldehyde, laborartory viruses, and egg parts into your blood stream via vaccines. Read more at:

http://www.naturalpathremedies.com/blog/category/healthy-solutions/silver-sol-uses/

Omega 3

Recent studies show that Omega 3 can have significant impact on both preventing and slowing Alzheimers. NSP Super Omega contains 1000 mg of a ratio of 33:16 EPA to DHA Omega 3s. In addition it improves cardiovascular health by increasing blood vessel strength and decreasing platelet formation, increases brain function, decreases inflammation and improves mood and behaviour. Read more at: http://www.naturalpathremedies.com/blog/category/healthy-solutions/omegas/

 

Political Scene

Another Canadian Bill, this time C36 has passed, which may have harsh impact on natural health products. The natural Health Products Branch continues to threaten the rights to choose. We need to continue to write our politicians to express our wishes to have the right to choice of safe, natural products. Strange when you consider the challenges that pharmaceuticals cause. Here are some stats over 10 years old, so know that the situation is even worse now!

On July 26, 2000, the medical community received a titanic shock when one of its most respected and honored public-health experts, Dr. Barbara Starfield, revealed her findings on healthcare in America.

The landmark Starfield study, “Is US health really the best in the world?”published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, came to the following conclusions:

 

Every year in the US there are:

 

12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;

7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;

20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;

80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;

106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.

The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000.

 

This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in the US, behind   heart disease and cancer. Canada would be pretty much the same, just divide numbers by 10.

 

This means we DO need to learn how to look after ourselves better – take control of our own health via better lifestyle. This includes eating whole, unprocessed, non-modified foods, getting regular exercise, enjoying sunshine, decreasing stress, avoiding toxic pollution whether that be electro-magnetic, fluoride in our water, or negative situations, keeping hydrated with pure water, and learning to understand our bodies to prevent disease.

My book covers a lot of these essential tips, as getting better and prevention both entail many of the same steps.

Learn the simple remedies of nature, which are provided to help us.

Consider making my Annual Herbal Intensive this July a priority, so you can understand these gifts of nature, and how to use them.

This year’s 3 ½ day intensive will be either July 8-11th or July 15-18th – the first people registering will determine preference. Email for detailed poster.

 

 

Humour

 

“Proverbs 17:22 – A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. This can be taken literally. I have heard that laughter not only stimulates the liver but it also stimulates the marrow in the bones. Here’s one for your bones:

Christmas is just plain weird! What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead or plastic tree in the living room and eat candy our of your socks?

 

Spiritual and Emotional

 

Enjoy and fill your being with joy. Truly we have lots to appreciate. The more we express gratitude for what we DO have, the more we will have.

 

 

 

Raising Healthy Children

 

Have you tried any of Children’s Heroes supplements? All I can say is they ARE delicious. Another health treat that children love is the TNT bars. They are “zone” balanced, meaning healthy ratio of protein, carbohydrate and fats to keep blood sugar levels even. They also provide vitamins, minerals and fibre. Children seem to love them and they are more reasonably priced than lesser quality bars.

We use them too, especially when on the run, or if a “sweet tooth” craving comes up.

Cut them up for snacks and healthy treats!

 

All the best in 2011!

Yours in health,

Benoit & Associates Health Education

Update:

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer ….. the last month +  on the west coast has been amazing sunshine! Bordering on drought and heatstroke, but frequent dips in the Cowichan River keep us cool.

We had three fabulous days of sunshine for our Annual Herbal Intensive with attendees from Edmonton, Vancouver, and Nova Scotia. Mark your calendar for the next one July 8- 11, 2011. We had fun making tinctures, oils, vinegars, Tinctracts of Heal All, (Prunella vulgaris), Mullein, Burdock, Vervain, a wonderful healing salve, and more. We infused, decocted, poulticed, made green drinks, tooth gel, aromatherapy spritzers, and learned many ways to utilize herbs to their best advantage.

A garden angel named Monica came and helped us for a month, so there were not really that many lazy days around here, as we spent hours in the garden. Between this and working on final edits for my book, The Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer, has kept me busy, so you did not miss a July newsletter, as there wasn’t one.

My book which will be about 250 pages of information on natural approaches to cancer, including the Paw Paw program, dietary suggestions, lifestyle changes and more, should be out by October – hopefully in time for NSP Convention in Lake Louise. The price will be $29.95, plus S/H.  SPECIAL OFFER: If you order 2 books by September 15th, you will receive 1 FREE. That works out to a special price of only $20.00 per book.

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
