Herbs For Life

Millions of Americans struggle with their weight.  Many of us fluctuate up and down, frustrated over a few pounds.  Many others are seriously overweight, causing health problems and depression.  Why are we so out of control with our eating?  How can we eat so much food and still be hungry, craving something, but never satisfied?

Americans are overfed and undernourished.  We expect our bodies to be full of energy and life on poor quality fuel.  We eat foods lacking in REAL vitamins and minerals, enriched with synthetic nutrients.  Our processed foods contain artificial preservatives, colorings and chemical flavors.  We then cook or microwave our food to death, killing most of the live enzymes.

We can begin today choosing better foods full of enzymes, minerals and fiber. Then, we can experience inch loss, increase in energy and being satisfied.

Herbs are foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals.  We can supplement our diet with extra nutrients by using quality herbs.  Nature's Sunshine products provides the highest quality herbs available.

Nature's Sunshine's SF is "Skinny Formula", an herbal combination which helps to decrease the appetite, aid in digestion, burn the fat and stabilize blood sugars.  Skinny Formula contains herbs such as; chickweed, licorice root, gotu kola, papaya fruit and dandelion root. Skinny Formula is most effective when taken one half hour before meals with a glass of water.

Nature's Sunshine's Energ-V helps the energy level by supporting the thyroid and adrenal glands.  This excellent formula contains many trace minerals for enzyme activation, plus naturally occurring amino acids.  Energ-V contains bee pollen, gotu kola, kelp, licorice, siberian ginseng root, barley grass herb and capsicum fruit. It is best to take Energ-V with a meal.  Note: Those with high blood pressure should avoid licorice root and siberian ginseng root, as these herbs tend to elevate blood pressure.

The Body's Environment

A cold, sore throat, sinus congestion, swollen tonsils or ear
infection is miserable anytime.  These conditions can begin when we
are children and follow us into adulthood.  Occasional or frequent
use of antibiotics seems to be the answer.  After time, if the
problems continue, removing the tonsils and placing tubes in the
ears, is the next procedure.

The question that comes to mind is, "What is the cause of these
miserable conditions and how do we change it?"  Contributing factors
could be; infection, bacteria, virus, molds, food sensitivities or
allergies.

If we continue to expose our body to the cause, we will continue to
have problems.  For example, the temperature and humidity in a
refrigerator will affect cheese.  If these two factors are not at
the correct levels, mold will grow on the cheese.  We can continue
to trim off the mold, but to correct the problem we need to change
the environment.  When we change the environment inside our body, we
can change the results.

We can begin to change our bodies environment by providing it
with "friendly bacteria".  The use of antibiotics or poor dietary
habits can deplete the friendly bacteria.

Nature's Sunshine's milk-free Acidophilus and Bifidophilus contains
up to billions of live microorganisms for adults or children.

Nature's Sunshine's All Cell Detox is a fantastic herbal formula
which is a cell and intestinal cleanse.

Enviro-Detox helps the body's natural cleansing functions by
nourishing five detoxifying organs.  Enviro-Detox also contains
friendly bacteria to help support the body's Immune system.

Nature's Sunshine's LB extract is a herbal laxative in the liquid
form.  Adults and children can benefit from LB extract by adding it
to water or juice.

Hi Barbara,

	 Hope you are doing well. Is there anything to help to unclog the parotid
duct and gland? A sialogram ( catheter placed in the gland and dye
injected for Xray ) has revealed several strictures in the duct as well
as the gland. There is no need to rush. there was a blockage that caused
it to swell, but it broke loose during the sialogram and came out an hour
later. There is no swelling or pain at this time.

Thanks
Keith

How many are supposed to be taken per day?
For example, if I bought the $16.45 [120] for her, how long would that
last?
Do they make any claims of so many pounds in so many days?

  Grab the Fat!

Here is the New Year of 2002!  Are you ready to make daily changes
that can improve your life? This is the time of year we think of
getting into better shape.  For most of us, this means losing
inches, decreasing body fat and increasing exercise.

Nature's Sunshine's Fat Grabbers can be of great benefit! Fat
Grabbers not only decreases the fat we store, it increases the much
needed fiber in one's diet.  Fiber is essential for proper bowel
elimination, absorbing toxins, reducing cholesterol and stabilizing
blood sugars.

Nature's Sunshine's Fat Grabbers contain no stimulants, just
wholesome nutritional foods that won't disrupt normal body
processes. Fat Grabbers contains the following four ingredients;

Guar Gum contains fiber, which helps decrease the appetite as it
gives one the feeling of being "full."  It is easier to decrease the
amount of food intake when we are not running "on empty".

Psyllium Hulls are a high fiber source that expands many times it's
own size. It is important when increasing fiber intake, to drink at
least 8 glasses of pure water daily.

Lecithin is a nutrient from soybeans that works to break down
fat.Lecithin has been used to help the body lower cholesterol.

Chickweed is a herb that contains saponins, which act as fat
emulsifiers.  Chickweed not only decreases fat, but also works as an
appetite suppressant.

Nature's Sunshine's Fat Grabbers unique formula traps fat while the
fiber helps to eliminate the fat from the body.  We have seen
exciting results with the use of Fat Grabbers and positive lifestyle
changes.

Overcoming Depression

Here we are, the holidays are over, the winter months are here and
we want to feel good.  There is so much life to live, but maybe you
or someone you know struggles with depression.

Everyday millions of Americans struggle with the daily pressures of
life.  Those close to you may not realize you are suffering because
you do not show what you are feeling.  Feelings of depression can
range from sadness, loneliness, mood swings, anxiety, anger, lack of
interest, not enough sleep or too much sleep.

What causes depression? Could it be possible that physical
imbalances could create emotional and mental imbalances? Here are a
few contributing factors;
     1) a lack of exercise, sunlight or oxygen to the brain
     2) exposing ourselves to chemicals in the work place, which

        can affect our liver and nervous system
     3) eating foods full of junk, but lacking in minerals and
        vitamins.

Fortunately we can change our lifestyle to improve our well being.
Nature's Sunshine's 5-HTP Power helps me to think clearly, improves
my alertness and mood.  5-HTP Power is a precursor to Serotonin.
Serotonin can be at lower levels in the brain during the winter
months when we do not receive as much
sunlight.  A lack of serotonin in the body can cause mental
depression, mood swings, hunger pangs and restless sleep.

Nature's Sunshine's St. John's Wort with Passion Flower is nature's
answer to depression.  St. John's Wort elevates the mood by
supporting emotional balance and the feeling of well being.  This
can help maintain a positive outlook.

Nature's Sunshine's concentrated Kava Kava is nature's answer to
anxiety.  Kava calms the nervous system and can be taken before
bedtime for a more relaxed sleep.

New Beginnings

As we begin the New Year of 2002, we have the opportunity to improve
our life.  Choosing to live a healthier lifestyle will benefit you
and those around you.  The process of change begins with thinking,
creating a plan and taking action to make it happen.

The thinking process requires proper brain function.  Our brain is
an amazing organ that requires 20 percent of our bodies energy and
25 percent of the oxygen.  As you may have guessed, exercise is
important.  Deep breathing of clean air can be of great benefit for
the entire body.

Brain foods includes good fats such as; fish, avocados, olive oil,
lecithin made from soybeans and whole grains.  Quality herbs and
supplements can help feed the brain the nutrients it needs.  Let's
take a look at a few of the
best options.

Nature's Sunshine's Gotu Kola herb has been used for years to
increase mental
energy. Students especially appreciate the benefits of mental
alertness, a longer attention span, improved memory, and a calming
affect on the nervous system.

Nature's Sunshine's Ginkgo Biloba is a standardized ginkgo leaf
extract.  Ginkgo Biloba promotes circulation to the brain for
improved brain function, memory and concentration.

Nature's Sunshine's Ginkgo Hawthorn is a herbal combination of
Ginkgo Biloba and Hawthorn Berries.  Hawthorn Berries were used by
the Indians to nourish the heart.  These two herbs combined, can
work together to help supply the
brain with much needed oxygen and nutrients.

  What Are Your Priorities?

Here we are at the close of another year.  Not just any year, the
year our country was attacked, lives were lost and personal freedoms
were taken away.

As we assess our life, we ask ourselves questions, such as; "What is
important?", "What are my priorities?" and "Where do I want to be a
year from now?"

One of our first priorities is health.  To fully enjoy life we need
to be healthy; spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally.
When we are full of health and energy, we can be better in all areas
of our life.

Our body is made up of 9 important systems; Digestive, Intestinal,
Circulatory, Nervous, Immune, Respiratory, Urinary, Glandular and
Structural.

Nature's Sunshine provides us with a personal "Lifestyle Analysis"
to help us determine the priorities of our body.  By using
the "Lifestyle Analysis", it can help us come to a clearer
understanding of our body's priorities.  It also helps us simplify

One Healthy Minute®

                    Healthy Holidays

With the holiday schedule, we are busy with the last minute
preparations. We tend to forget what our body needs to stay healthy,
during this time of year.
Here are some health tips to help you feel and look your best
everyday.

* Drink pure water, avoid coffee, sodas and alcohol.
* Plan regular meals, eating more protein and less carbohydrates.
* Choose fresh fruits and veggies over sweets, chocolate and
pastries.
* Stay physically active, enjoying the outdoors.
* Simplify your schedule to avoid being "stressed-out".
* Allow sufficient time for sleep and rest.
* Regularly take your herbs, vitamins and minerals.

Nature's Sunshine provides us with quality products to give our body
the extra nutrients it needs.  Super Supplemental is a multiple
vitamin, mineral and herbal formula in an easy-to-swallow tablet.
Calcium Plus Vitamin D, Liquid Calcium or Coral Calcium help to
nourish the skeletal and nervous systems.

Balanced B Complex tablets and B Complex capsules can support the
digestive and nervous systems.  Don't forget Nutri-Calm for a calm
and stress-free holiday!

Chromium GTF "glucose tolerance factor" works with insulin to
transport glucose from the blood to the body cells, helping regulate
blood sugar levels.

Nature's Sunshine's Energ-V is a herbal blend that promotes energy
by providing thyroid and adrenal support.

                       Stress-Free Holidays

What a wonderful time of year!  This month is filled with
preparation and anticipation! There are Christmas parties and plays,
shopping, gift wrapping, decorating, baking and guests.

The extra activities along with our regular work schedule can
deprive our body of the rest it needs.  Time and money pressures
create stress.

Stress uses nutrients that are needed to nourish the nervous system.
These nutrients include; vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium and
magnesium.  A combination of stress and a lack of sleep can cause us
to feel tired, irritable, nervous, anxious, depressed or even panic.

Nature's Sunshine's Nutri-Calm can help supply the nutrients needed
for the nervous system.  Nutri-Calm contains vitamin C, the B
vitamins, including; B1, B2, B6, B12 and folic acid. An important
thing to remember is that vitamin C and B vitamins are water soluble
and need to be replaced on a daily basis.  Nutri-Calm contains the
anti-stress herbs; valerian root, passion flower and hops flowers.

Valerian Root is a natural tranquilizer that contains a natural
source of calcium and other minerals.  Passion Flower has a calming
sedative effect on the nervous system and relieves muscle tension.
Hops Flowers are known for their relaxing benefits and are rich in
vitamin B-complex.

Nature's Sunshine's Herbal Sleep is a combination of valerian root,
passion flower and hops flowers.  Now you can enjoy the benefits of
Herbal Sleep without the harmful side effects.

                     Enzymes To The Rescue

The holidays are here!  We begin thinking about holiday meals and
desserts.
With all the delicious foods to choose from, we tend to overeat.
This can result in feeling uncomfortable, experiencing gas,
heartburn and indigestion.

Before you grab for the anti-acids you should know enzymes can
help!  Enzymes are the "pac men" that help break down foods for
assimilation into the bloodstream.  Just as chewing our food is
essential for digestion, enzymes are necessary to deal with the
hundreds of differing food compounds we eat.

Nature's Sunshine's Food Enzymes contain 8 different enzymes which
help digest proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Food Enzymes contain
hydrochloride acid which is used for digestion of proteins including
meat and beans.

Nature's Sunshine's Proactazyme is especially designed for those
suffering from hiatal hernia or acid reflux, as it contains no
hydrochloride acid.

Proactazyme is an all-vegetable source and contains protease for the
digestion of proteins.

Nature's Sunshine's Stomach Comfort provides a combination of
natural ingredients that help to neutralize acid, soothe the
stomach, reduce acid reflux and is a chewable calcium.

Nature's Sunshine's Papaya Mints contain papaya fruit, peppermint
leaf and peppermint oil that work great to relieve heartburn.  We
like to use these between meals to enhance digestion and as a breath
freshener.

Positive benefits of adding enzymes to your diet include; activating
existing stomach enzymes for better absorption of nutrients, feeling
more energy and being more satisfied from the foods you eat, thus
experiencing less cravings.
Many enjoy loosing unwanted inches when adding enzymes to their
diet.
Enzymes are essential for life!

Hi! I'm AuntyB, and I've been a diabetic for about 12 years now. So
far I'm only on pills, but my diabetes has been really bad for
several months now, and it looks like I might be on shots within a
couple of weeks. My Doc is messing around with my pills to see if a
higher dosage would help me, but if it doesn't, he's putting me on
the shots within the next two weeks. What I'd like to know is, are
there any herbs that would help with my blood sugars? Any kind of
plant leaves I can make into a tea to drink? I do grow a lot of herbs
and different plants, so I'm willing to experiment. I really dread
the thought of having to give myself shots, so any ideas would be
extremely appreciated! Thanks a lot! AuntyB
