A recent study by the UK’s Food Commission shows that some breakfast cereals contain as much sugar and fat as five chocolate chip cookies – and goes on to name and shame the worst offenders.

According to the Food Commission a 50 gram serving of cereal may contain as much as 6 grams of fat, 13 grams of sugar and just 2 grams of fibre.

The Commission suggested that a number of cereals it investigated were so heavily laden with sugar and fats that they should really be sold alongside cakes.

Did you know that there are over 500 different toxic chemicals that can be found in our tap water? Of these, the waterboard usually tests for a maximum of 12.

I often sprout seeds and beans – this requires soaking the seeds/beans for a few hours in water. I have found that when I soak them in tap water, they often fail to grow. However, on using a good quality still spring water or other pure water (see this month’s article on ‘Water’), they sprouted and flourished.

What is it in the water that stops germination? Perhaps it is the chlorine or pesticides! If it does this to seeds, what is our tap water doing to us?

Regular exercise can help you see the funny side of life, according to researchers at Concordia University in Montreal.

In a six week study, 86 women were asked to complete mood surveys before and after exercise.

It was discovered that their sense of humour was more pronounced after working out, especially if their mood was low before they started.

BLT’s
Bread – two wholewheat pitta pockets, toasted
Lettuce/green leaves/sprouts e.g. cos lettuce, spinach, alfalfa / bean sprouts
Tomato (ripe) – chopped

Lightly spread insides of pitta pockets with mayonnaise/ hummus.

Mix green leaves, tomato, alfalfa/bean sprouts, chopped spring onions, chopped cucumber and chopped avocado together.

Fill pitta pockets with mixture.

Enjoy!

Note:
Do not use the popular iceburg lettuce as it is nutritionally devoid and possibly harmful.

Experiment with other salad ingredients eg. grated carrot, grated beetroot, chopped peppers, olives, sundried tomatoes.

Instead of using pittas, try using the salad mixture over baked potatoes.

The main thing that distinguishes Earth from the other planets is water. The Earth was created from water, we were born from it and life on Earth is sustained through it. In addition to oxygen, water is the primary essential nutrient – it is everywhere. About 70% of our planet is covered by water. Over 75% of your body is made up of water and this must constantly be replaced. Water is in every cell and involved in every function of your body. Water is the essence of life.

Basic physiology tells us that the condition of your body’s internal environment, that is the fluid surrounding each of your cells, is what determines your state of health or disease. This fluid is mostly water and must be kept free of toxic waste. If this fluid dries up or becomes poisoned, your health is in serious danger. Hence your body must get sufficient water which is pure and of good quality.

If you are eating raw plant food, a large portion of your daily water requirement will be met by your food intake. Remember that plant food is about 80% water, however, with exercise, heat, a cooked food diet etc. more water is lost than can be replaced from food intake. Hence, you must drink water.

The water that you drink should be pure, or you will flood your body with toxic chemicals which will eventually cause ill-health and disease. Unfortunately, tap water can contain a range of over 500 different toxic substances, including chlorine, radon, pesticides, heavy metals such as mercury and lead, arsenic, xenoestrogens, PCB’s, detergents, harmful pathogens and silt to name just a few. Many filtered, mineral and spring waters can contain high levels of toxic chemicals. In fact some bottled waters can be worse than local tap water.
At Nature’s Nutrition, we use the ‘Wellness Water System’ for all our water needs. Unlike traditional filters, the Wellness Filter is made up of two distinctly different systems – a ‘purification’ system and an ‘enhancement’ system, working together to produce clean and refreshing water much the same way that Nature does on Earth.

The water is first purified by passing through layers of SPG sand (used in Japan to purify blood for dialysis patients) and the finest coconut-derived, activated carbon. These layers remove 99.8% of harmful contaminants.

After completing purification, the water proceeds through five additional layers of enhancement media (comprised of unique far-infrared ceramics sandwiched between two layers of magnetite rock and ceramic magnets. The far infrared ceramic imparts negative ions into the water. These ions provide a mild antioxidant effect and are believed to neutralise free radicals on and in the body. Free radicals are thought to be a primary cause of ageing and diseases such as cancer. The magnetite and ceramic magnets align the structure of the water making it more soluble and more absorbable by the skin and internal cells, enabling the water to transport more nutrients to your cells and tissues (this is called molecularly structured water).

The water then proceeds through a layer of Bakuhan Stone, a rare Japanese mineral that has been recognised for its medical effects on arthritis, circulation, burns and digestive function. This layer also helps promote a natural alkaline state in the body, which is important to help strengthen the body’s immune system.

Finally, the water is treated by a layer of Taicho stone, a rare Japanese mineral known for the bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties which are imparted to the water.

The water that leaves the Wellness Filter is a ‘perfect water’, purified, enhanced, molecularly structured, and endowed with rare properties only found in a handful of the World’s renowned natural springs. The Wellness range includes:

The Wellness System is used at the renowned Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. Director, Brian Clements states:

“We have seen an improvement in patient blood count and vibrancy since switching the institute over to Wellness Water. We think that anyone who is fighting a health condition or who wants to provide the maximum preventative healthcare should own one of these amazing systems.”

At Nature’s Nutrition, we have experienced similar benefits with Wellness Water and wholeheartedly recommend its use. We believe that this is probably the best water system available in the world today.

Remember, this water is going into your body as a primary nutrient and will make a major difference to the state of your health.

Water is a colourless liquid that enables us
to see the colours of the rainbow.

It provides a constant interchange
between the earth and all the
other planets in the cosmos.

Every drop is a microcosm of the universe,
carrying information from ancient eras
and from worlds that we cannot
yet understand.

It holds the key to our health,
and we hold the key to the health of water.

As many of you are already aware we have finally moved to our new premises near Cardigan in West Wales. We feel very privileged to be living and working surrounded by such beautiful scenery and only four miles from the beach. It has inspired us into pushing things further with the business and you will be hearing much more of our various new ideas and plans over the next few months.

Many of you have been enquiring about our Total Health and Rejuvenation Workshops. We hope to do our next series of workshops in November 2006, subject to numbers. The workshops will be held at venues in London and Wales. If you would like to attend either of the November workshops, please call us to register your interest as soon as possible. The workshops will only go ahead if we have sufficient numbers to make it viable.

The autumn season is a great time to off-load some of those unwanted toxins, and build up your nutrient stores before the winter months descend upon us. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially green, leafy vegetables will help your body shift stored toxins and will replenish your nutrient levels. Fruits and vegetables, along with small amounts of nuts and seeds will increase levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fats and enzymes.

Experiment by increasing foods such as fresh fruits, smoothies and salads in your diet. There are so many varieties of fruits and vegetables available now to make it much easier. Living foods are packed with enzymes and nutrients needed for all the body’s proper cell and tissue functions.

At this time of year, we are often more vulnerable to infection by a pathogen. Candida/fungus, parasites, viruses and ‘bad’ bacteria are all pathogens which the body can harbour. A pathogen is an organism that ‘feeds on’ and thrives in an unhealthy body, eventually resulting in illness or disease. Many people are infected by at least one (if not all three!) of these pathogens. There are over 500 different types of bacteria, 130 species of parasites and 700 different varieties of fungus (candida being only one type!) that can exist inside our bodies.

For many people, pathogens such as candida and parasites can be a problem causing many symptoms including digestive problems, constipation, diarrhoea, low energy, arthritis, allergies, itchy skin, dandruff, depression, headaches, and food cravings to name just some of the possible symptoms.

So how can a clean-living person possibly become infected with fungus, parasites or bacteria? You may take a daily shower and be clean on the outside, but this does not mean you are clean on the inside. Junk and processed foods, gluten grains, dairy products, foods fried in oil, heated fats and oils and hydrogenated or trans fats and oils found in many processed foods are all like magnets to these pathogens. Also, exposure to antibiotics, steroids and other pharmaceutical drugs can compromise the immune system, allowing these pathogens to multiply uncontrollably.

Fungus, bacteria, parasites and worms thrive in a toxic, filthy internal environment – in fact they feed on it. To get rid of these unwanted pathogens permanently, and to prevent re-infection, you need to get rid of the filthy environment that they feed upon.

You need to follow a cleansing diet, by avoiding the processed foods that these pathogens feed upon and introducing fresh, natural, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds into your diet.

Taking specific herbs, superfoods or other supplements can also help eliminate these pathogens, although it is very important that you are tested to find the specific nutrient(s) you need to remove the pathogen – everyone has different needs. If you take herbs or supplements ‘ad hoc’ you are unlikely to eliminate the pathogen, and you could even make the situation much worse!
At Nature’s Nutrition we use the results of the Candida/Parasite Test to make a remedy which is specific to each person. The remedy will provide the right nutrients to help your body remove unwanted toxins including pathogens. This will boost your immune system and allow true healing to occur.

Yes! In fact there is almost always at least one underlying factor present such as a toxic metal/chemical, poor fat metabolism, liver toxicity or a food intolerance. Often, these underlying factors need to be addressed first before the body’s immune system is able to deal with any pathogens present.

Until this underlying factor is identified and removed, you are likely to get recurring fungal or parasitic infections. Often these underlying factors are not obvious and need to be identified before health can be restored.

This is where our test differs to other tests available. Not only do we test for any pathogens present, but our total test – The ‘Health Status Test’ also includes testing for toxic metals and chemicals, poor fat metabolism, food intolerances, liver toxicity, organ imbalances such as low thyroid and system imbalances e.g. digestive system, reproductive system. We even test for geopathic and electromagnetic stress, both of which are having a much greater impact on our health today.

If you suspect you may be infected by one (or more) of these pathogens, and you have some of the above symptoms, then we would recommend you do our Health Status Test to identify which pathogens may be present as well as any other underlying factors which may need to be dealt with.

You will receive a comprehensive report including fact sheets, detailed dietary advice and a daily regime. We will also recommend a specific remedy to help you eliminate the pathogen(s) found.

The test is done on a urine sample using a combination of biochemical analysis, kinesiology and energy medicine. It is all done by post, so there is no need for you to attend a clinic.

The complete test includes testing for all the potential underlying factors as mentioned above. It also includes a Weight Loss/Gain Test and a Fitness Test. As you can see, at Nature’s Nutrition we truly believe in detoxifying and healing the whole person.
