Dear Reader,
In recent years, the importance of colon health has taken the spotlight as an increasing body of research has confirmed that the bowel plays a key role in proper immune function and overall health. More than 50 percent of the immune system is located in or around the digestive system, especially the large intestine. In order to boost their immune systems, millions of Americans have turned to colon cleansing.
Most Americans have poor dietary habits that affect their body's ability to effectively digest food. After years of indulging in unhealthy eating habits, stagnated fecal matter can collect in the colon and lead to a variety of serious health problems. The colon is responsible for removing toxins from our body. When the colon is clogged with stagnated fecal matter your body's ability to absorb nutrients from food is significantly compromised. Until the colon is properly cleansed and the toxins are removed your digestion will be hindered leading to constipation, gas, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, bad breath, fatigue, depression, infections and weight gain.
Most Americans have a digestive "transit time" of about 72 hours and that is too long. (The transit time refers to the amount of time that toxic waste matter remains in the bowel.) When the transit time is too long, the waste will decay, ferment and possibly be reabsorbed by the body, creating the perfect environment for harmful organisms and bacteria to thrive.
Internal cleansing is a natural way to remove the toxins inside your body, break up fecal matter in your intestines and eliminate harmful organisms. Some of the major benefits of colon cleansing include.
|
› |
The elimination of toxins that have accumulated inside of your colon from years of poor dietary habits and exposure to dangerous chemicals. |
|
|
Prevention of waste materials from building up again so that you will look and feel great. |
| › |
Elimination of parasites that can lead to discomfort and disease. |
Once you have cleansed your colon, keep it healthy with a diet that is high in fiber and low in fat. Some healthy choices include whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, brown rice, green leafy vegetables (like spinach and lettuce), black beans, pinto beans, green beans and peanuts.
Adding probiotic supplements to your health regimen is another way to boost colon health. Probiotics (sometimes referred to as "friendly bacteria") are live microbial substances which improve intestinal balance and boost the immune system. Make this the year that you cleanse your body of toxins and maintain a healthy colon so that your immune system can function at its full potential.
Yours in good health,

When someone's health finally runs down, the gut is nearly always compromised. Appetite is weak. Digestion is poor. Elimination is hazardous. When someone's health soars, the opposite is true. Appetite is strong. Digestion is robust. Elimination is regular. So, if you want to enjoy worry-free long life, the biggest single thing you can do is: EAT LESS. The over-consumption of food is the number one cause of almost every gut and colon problem. It's been said that any person can easily survive on one third of the daily food intake. The other two thirds only benefit doctors and drug companies.
While you're making some simple and super effective lifestyle changes, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to try CLEAN MACHINE™ colon cleanse. There's no other product on the market that's so gentle and effective at both cleaning out the colon, improving intestinal tone, and promoting regularity.

Medical studies reveal that each and every day we're exposed to harmful substances, not only in the form of common air pollution, but through the very foods we eat. The Standard American Diet (or SAD for short!!) is loaded with preservatives, antibiotics, pesticides, and dangerous chemicals — all waiting to inundate your system, from your organs, to your bloodstream, from your head down to your toes, robbing you of the vibrant good health that you deserve.
But once these harmful substances are removed from your system, you'll begin to look and feel dramatically better.
GET READY to reduce metabolic wastes that trigger body inflammation and you may start to gain NEW flexibility, NEW energy, NEW mental alertness, and NEW cardiovascular health.

Your colon is a battlefield filled with "friendly" and "unfriendly" bacteria. The friendly bacteria (also known as probiotics) help you to assimilate nutrients. They also prevent the attachment of "unfriendly" microflora, which can dilute the strength of your immune system.
A wide range of both traditional and alternative health professionals now agree that a continually replenished stronghold of "friendly" bacteria is essential for a robust and worry-free digestive system. Unfortunately, levels of "friendly" bacteria rapidly decline with age.
Like no other probiotic formula on the market, VIBRANT FLORA 15/50™ replenishes your colon with the vital microflora to counteract toxic pathogens that threaten your immune system and your colon's equilibrium.

- Hatha Yoga: Unraveling the Mystery

- Can the World’s Longest Living Thing Help You Live Longer Too?

Dear Reader,
It seems like whenever I turn on the TV, I see something with yoga
in it. From sit-coms to car advertisements, even a beer commercial,
everywhere you turn, people are talking about yoga. For the first time
since the 70's, yoga is experiencing a resurgence of interest. Is West
meeting East, or are the baby boomers trying yet another trend to slow
the pace of their hectic lives? Anyone who knows yoga will tell you
it's no trend. The practice of yoga has a deeply ro oted scientific
basis, and it's been around for over three thousand years. Yoga has
stayed the test of time, and for one simple reason: yoga works.
People ask, what is yoga? Hatha Yoga is the physical aspect of
yoga, a school of Indian philosophy that as a whole, aspires to achieve
spiritual enlightenment. Yoga is like a ladder of self-development
with hatha yoga being the first step on that ladder. The other steps
are far too detailed for this writing, but they include karma yoga, the
yoga of action; jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge; and bhakti yoga, the
yoga of devotion. The practice of hatha yoga is not a religion, nor
does it ever compromise a person's belief system. So when the yoga
word namaste (nah-mah-stay) is spoken, it simply means, the Divine in
me bows to the Divine in you. The word yoga literally means union,
from the Sanskrit word yuj, to unite. "Ha" represents the sun, and
"tha" represents the moon. Hatha yoga means literally, union of the
sun and moon; or symbolically, the union of right and left; of male and
female; and of yin and
yang--or the opposites of nature.
So why is hatha yoga so good for you? The ancient yogi's believed
that to achieve a highly developed inner-self, they first had to
perfect their outer-selves. So hatha yoga was developed to unite the
body with the mind and spirit. This union is achieved by using the
breath in a different way called pranayama, or deep diaphragmatic
breathing, stemming from the center, the solar plexus, much like in
martial arts. Combining deep breathing with deep stretching increases
flexibility, improves posture and skeletal alignment, improves
circulation and helps flush toxins from the body, and it improves
balance, coordination and concentration. Yoga promotes a deep sense of
relaxation and encourages a sense of calmness and well-being. Yoga
relaxes and energizes the entire person, inside and out, all at the
same time.
It seems like the 70's and the national interest in yoga was such
a long time ago, but the need for balance and well-being has remained
unchanged. Perhaps a three thousand year old body-mind-spirit science
is just what the doctor ordered....Namaste!
Here's to your good health,

In the midst of compromised sources for our water, air, food and soil…
Your 5 channels of elimination – liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and
skin – all have to work harder to neutralize and eliminate toxins. And
that adds up to organ stress and exhaustion, which helps contribute to
cellular stress and finally — daily, life-draining fatigue – which is
also a breeding ground for illness and disease.
The end result of poor diet and increased pollution: we are more wrung out, strung out and dragging from one day to the next.
Now, there’s an easy, fast, super convenient, all natural, way to jumpstart and maintain your energy all day long and gain powerful, new health protection for your entire body, at the same time.

- Natural Remedies For Pets Are Gaining Popularity
- If you want to increase blood flow from head to toe and everything in between...
- Work With Your Body, Rather than Against It

Dear Reader,
Millions of Americans are living healthier lives by taking nutritional
supplements and availing themselves of the many alternative treatments
that have gained popularity in recent years. But Mother Nature’s bounty
is not limited to Homo sapiens. More and more pet owners are turning to natural sources in order to maintain their pets’ health and to treat diseases or injuries.
Because of this evolving trend holistic veterinarians are
recommending nutritional supplements for pets. Flaxseed oil, for
example, can provide the same important omega-3 benefits to pets that
it offers for humans. The oil will keep their coats shiny and healthy
and can also be used to prevent and treat skin irritations.
Older dogs suffering from joint pain and stiffness may benefit
from glucosamine chondroitin, a supplement often used by humans with
painful joints. Over time (in humans and dogs) the cartilage between
the joints starts to decay or wear away, causing movement to be painful
and inflammation to occur. The same supplements used by humans can help
to replenish that lost cartilage, providing extra cushioning to those
painful joints and giving your dog some much needed pain relief.
Those vitamin C supplements that we humans take to boost our
immune system can do the same thing for Fido, especially as your pet
grows older. Vitamin C can help delay the problems associated with
joint and tissue damage.
You should check with your veterinarian before you start a regular
protocol of natural herbal health supplements for your dog, especially
if the dog is on any kind of medications or has had allergic reactions
in the past. Do your homework, make a list of the supplements that you
think would be beneficial for your dog, and then consult with your vet
before you go shopping.
Other natural remedies that have shown great promise for use with
pets include massage therapy and magnetic therapy. Massage therapy
helps pets heal more quickly from illness or injury and gives them an
overall sense of health and wellbeing.
Magnetic therapy for pets has gained significant popularity in
recent years. The principle behind magnetic therapy is simple. A magnet
is able to align molecules in a uniform direction. Since animals (and
people) are made of billions of molecules, using a magnet over a
specific area of the body can align the molecules, stimulating
circulation and speeding healing time. Magnetic therapy can be safely
used in conjunction with other treatments. The biggest challenge of
magnetic therapy for animals is figuring out a way for the animals to
stay in contact with the magnets. One way to do this is by using a
magnetic pet bed. Magnetic collars can also be used.
Check your local veterinarian listings to find a holistic
veterinarian in your area and make a new year’s resolution to care for
your four-footed friend with natural remedies.
Yours in good health, 
Sheila McCormick

Work With Your Body, Rather than Against It
We used to think that the human growth hormone naturally produced
by the body was only necessary until we reached maturity. However,
studies now show that the human growth hormone, or hGH, is vital in
virtually all functions of the body throughout our entire lives, even
into old age!
Sadly, as our bodies mature, the level of hGH decreases
accordingly. This leaves us at the mercy of time, increasing our
chances of premature aging, and all the trials that come along with it:
creaking bones, back pain, weight gain, loss of sex drive, loss of
eyesight, and more.
Many people try to continually replace these hormones with
injections that can cost about $1,000 a month, month after month, after
month! Luckily we now know that there is a natural way to stimulate our
own body's release of its own natural hGH! |
