Here it comes! The most dreaded season of the year for everyone who wants to win the battle of the bulge!
We love this season and the goodies, but hate the weight gain that usually follows our indulgences.
Want to know how to enjoy some holiday goodies and give yourself a fighting chance against excess calories that are just waiting to settle on your handiest trouble spots?
Want something that is safe and natural that most people have no negative side effects with?
The first natural health weapon, I’d try is a supplemental fiber, like FAT GRABBERS or NATURE'S THREE. (for more info : www.mynsp.com/herbsnwhey)
Supplemental fiber can help curb appetite, absorb fat for quick removal from the body, keep blood sugar more stable and help lower cholesterol. If it’s taken thirty minutes before a meal or snack with 16 ounces of water, it can help keep the weight off. It comes in either powder form (NATURE'S THREE) or capsules (FAT GRABBERS) and soluble and insoluble fibers. To make sure the fiber is safe and super-absorbent, choose one from a company dedicated to providing superb quality. Fiber can usually be easily tolerated by most people.
Next, consider supplementing with Digestive Enzymes. (PROACTIZYME or FOOD ENZYMES) (for more info : www.mynsp.com/herbsnwhey) Digestive enzymes help break down food (for better utilization and less indigestion), reduce appetite, improve energy levels, and, if taken with and between meals, encourages weight loss.
When food doesn’t digest well, the body doesn’t get adequate nutrition to the cells. This can encourage hunger and, of course result in weight gain.
Most Americans with heartburn and indigestion are actually suffering from a lack of digestive acids and enzymes. Food ferments without adequate digestive fluids and that causes digestive difficulties.
Oh, and another plus, digestive enzymes can help slow the aging process.
Lastly consider doing a body-detoxing cleanse program. Keeping the waste material moving through the body a little more quickly can keep weight from piling up on your frame. Natural Health experts recommend doing a cleanse program at least twice a year. (TIAO HE CLEANSE or CLEAN START) (see www.mynsp.com/herbsnwhey for more information and to order.)
With natural supplements to help, maybe weight gain over the holidays isn’t inevitable. Enjoy!

Breast Health Awareness Month
Breast Cancer – two fearful words to hear, so fearful in fact, that this whole month has been dedicated to making women aware that the danger is there. It is a little known fact that men, also may be at risk for breast cancer.
Did you know that the breasts are essentially structures made up of fat and gland, mounted to the chest wall with a delicate system of ligaments? Circulation in the breast is much the same as the rest of the body consisting of arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. The arteries bring fresh blood to the cells carrying along with it the nutrition that the breast and its tissues need for proper health. The veins bring the blood back from the cells along with cellular waste and toxins. The lympahtics are designed to collect and carry away the toxins and other waste materials that lie in the intercellular fluid between the cells. So daily activities like gentle exercise (that helps move blood and lymph), choosing healthy food (to provide good nutrition for healing and repair), limiting refined foods and trans fats –(which damage the body) will go a long way toward making healthy breast tissue.
Many believe that toxins –those introduced into the body and those made by the body- cause the local beginnings of cancerous tissue. It is imperative that toxins be continually removed through the body’s veins and lymphatic vessels. When these toxins are unable to exit the body properly, the possibility of cancer increases.
A recent study* of 4,700 women found that women who wore brassieres had an increased chance of acquiring breast cancer. It is very possible that the constant pressure that the bra puts on the breast is limiting the flow of toxins that need to be released, resulting in the increased cancer rate. Any more than a gentle amount of pressure can flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the release of toxins from the breast tissue.
The study found the highest rate of breast cancer in those who wore bras 24 hours a day, and the lowest rate in those who never wore bras. The study suggested that women should wear a bra less than 12 hours a day.
We all know about the value of breast self-exams, but here is a tip that’s targeted for preventing and reversing breast lumps and discomfort.
Learn “Phluffing” (pronounced fluffing) and use Healthy Body Massage oil, to help improve breast health. Phluffing is a painless technique of gently moving breast tissue to enhance lymphatic flow. This is a quick action step you can do twice a day to dramatically improve the health of your breasts. This simple technique coupled with the beneficial aromatherapy oil blend “Healthy Body” helps soften breasts, relieve breast pain, decrease lumps and cysts from fibrocystic breasts, move lymph and bring T-Cells to protect the breast and much more.

FIBROMYALGIA
(From HealthQuarters Monthly, Dave Fraam N.D., author)
Have you ever seen the commercial on TV these days hawking some drug for relieving the pain of Fibromyalgia? Here’s this art teacher writing in her journal about the pain in her body that day, and singing the praises of “such and such” medication that allowed her to do her day pain-free.....and I want to scream at her “don’t just mask the symptoms with pain relievers and keep living with the label, address the cause and get rid of it.”
Over the years I’ve tested a number of folks who’ve come to my office bringing with them a medical diagnosis of “fibromyalgia” (fibro meaning muscles, and myalgia means sore). The typical medical agenda is to give pain relievers and anti-depressants.... and folks walk away thinking they’ll have this condition for the rest of their lives. No, not if you address the underlying compromises in the system that is the cause of the symptoms.
* Yeast overgrowth
* Exhausted adrenals
* Insufficient stomach acid production
* Weak Thyroid
* Sluggish liver
* Sluggish colon
* Unbalanced estrogen (lack of progesterone production)
* Depleted serotonin (pain threshold drops...feel pain more intensely)
* Depleted magnesium (key mineral for muscle health and relaxation).
Folks with this pattern feel far worse than any clients we see, even those with cancer. It’s not life-threatening, but I’ll tell ya what, folks feel like death warmed over. Pain all over, depression, fatigue, etc, etc, etc. It’s hard to convince such people that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that they’ll feel much improved within 30-60 days. Those that take our input seriously and do aim at the right targets with the right ammunition...well, they come back feeling like life is worth the living again.
Hey, if you know anyone who’s been handed the label of “ fibromyalgia”, please encourage them that it’s just a condition of yeast overgrowth and exhausted adrenals, made more complicated by some additional factors, and that it makes complete sense. The cause is not a mystery. It can be eliminated if they’re willing. They don’t need to just live with it, masking the symptoms, for months and years like so many do that I hear about.

Herbs ‘n’ Whey Input
We have found that those who use the Foundation Program for total body support and add just one or two direct aids to address specific energy building needs feel better faster with fewer products to take.
Foundation Program
Enzymes (NSP offers Food Enzymes or Proactazyme.)
Probiotics (NSP offers L-reuteri, Bifidophilus and Probiotic 11. Health experts recommend rotating these. When one bottle is gone, switch to the next one, then the next, then start with the first again.)
Super Trio (contains Super Supplemental, Super Orac and Super Omega 3)
Fiber (NSP offers LoClo, Nature’s Three, or Psyllium Hulls Combination)
We are hearing great things about the Fibralgia Formula. It is being reported from customers that when they take 4-5 capsules morning and night, the muscle pain is much less. This formula provides valuable nutrients often missing in people who have muscle pain. These nutrients help get energy to the muscles.

“I had chronic heartburn so bad to the point of almost crying, it bothered me so bad. Within 24 hours of taking Food Enzymes the heartburn was gone and I have had none since. I have no heavyness in my stomach anymore. I had chronic edema and this is considerably better. Also:
--Cold hands and feet are far better
--Sleeping better
--Cravings for sugar are better”
Valerie started taking Super Trio, Psyllium Hulls capsules, Bifidophilus, Food Enzymes, and Mineral Chi Tonic in June 2008.

Herbal Nutrition for Bones and Joints
This month we are focusing on bone and joint health. Many people religiously take calcium supplements to build bone health without seeing much improvement in bone health. Many factors play into this problem, some of which are detailed in Kim Balas’ article in the Nature's Field newsletter (free from www.treelite.com) .
If you want a more effective plan to get bone building nutrients, do what the cows do....eat green leafy foods. The most easily assimilated and utilizable form of calcium is that found in dark green leafy vegetables such as collard greens, spinach, turnip greens, beet greens and Chinese cabbage.
Herbal greens such as wheat grass, barley grass, nettles, dandelion leaf, alfalfa and oat straw are also good sources of calcium. These are easily obtained with our supplement blends called Herbal CA (stock #826-3) and HSN-W (stock # 945-0).
Master Herbalist Steven Horne tells of his experiences helping his mother with her bone health.
“ I have found mineral-rich herbs to be more effective at restoring tissue levels of minerals than any other approach I have taken. HSN-W is one of my favorite remedies here. It also happens to be one of Kim Balas’ favorite remedies, too. HSN-W was one of the primary remedies I put my mother on for her arthritis. I also gave her Joint Support. I didn’t give her a calcium supplement, just these herbal remedies. At age 82, she slipped on the stairs and fell, chipping a bone in her knee, which required surgery. The doctor said she had the bones of a 50-year-old. I assure you that this wasn’t from taking calcium supplements. It was from taking herbs.
Herbal CA is another great remedy for strengthening the bones by providing readily available trace minerals. The ATC formula is especially valuable here, since the concentrating process tends to concentrate the minerals, too.”

Better ENERGY, SLEEP, APPETITE CONTROL and more!
We are getting lots of good results with Super Trio! Its so convenient!
One lady was always tired and run down, with food cravings, a weakend immune system and she couldn't sleep. After one month on the Super Trio (stock #20-5) she was improving her diet (because now she felt good enough to think about it and had more appetite control), was sleeping longer and better, no longer had one cold right after the other AND was thinking about starting an exercise program!
(These super convenient packets contain Thai Go in a capsule, with Super Supplemental and Omega 3. great nutritional insurance. Super nutrition plus super convenience. Just one packet twice a day and you are good to go!)
Another lady was debilitated with fibromyalgia type pain, fatigue and fever. After one month of taking the Super Trio (stock # 20-5) along with Proactizyme (stock # 1525-0), Nature's Three (stock # 1345-0), Bifidophilus (#4080-4) and Fibralgia (# 4061-6) (she took 5 of these morning and evening for muscle pain), she reported being almost 100% symptom free! She couldn't work before. Now she has been washing cabinets and floors and helping in their move to a new home and is looking for a new job! (This program without the Fibralgia formula is our basic foundation program that is recommended for anyone who is serious about making sure the body has the nutrients it needs to balance all the energy systems of the body.)
Another lady also took the above program for similar symptoms. It took a little longer for her but she gradually began to feel better and no longer needed so many of her medications. After about three months she could sleep through the night without pain and no longer needed prescriptions to get through the day. She had not been feeling well for several years.

Ask the Herbalists
Q. What are people using naturally for sensitivity to Poison Ivy or Oak?
A. Vitamin C, Red Clover Blend or BP-X have each been used as preventatives and are also helpful after breaking out. Using the homeopathic Rhus Tox is very helpful for many. Dave likes to use the essential oil blend called Guardian mixed with Herbal Trim Skin Treatment topically to ease itching and blisters.
Q. What do people use naturally for back pain?
A. Here are some testimonies:
Dalean H wrote: My spine got broken from L 1 downward and then got repaired---sort of. My best relief has come with Natures Fresh sprayed on whole spine and I take varying amounts of Kava Kava, Triple Relief and Skeletal Strength, Proactazyme and other enzymes at times. Vertebrae don't always stay in place but a quick trip to soft pillows after a spray of the NF fixes me up enough to get on with it. Can't stand to stay still ! ! !
I found using the Natures Fresh quite often at first, really helped (kept a spray bottle of it in every room, so always had it near) and including what Dalean suggested, sometimes more Magnesium with herbs helps a lot too. -- Annette
I find adding Helichrysum , ylang ylang and roman chamomile essential oils to natures fresh really helps. -- Pat
