It is widely debated the potential causal factors to ADD and ADHD. Some studies have shown that when diet is poor and blood sugar imbalanced, the brain suffers, including the ability to reason, adjust socially, and control impulses. Other causal factors can include allergies, vaccine preservatives, heavy metals in the body, tobacco additives, and cell phone usage.

Besides removing some of these factors, we recommend the following product for children:

“Kidneys are the body’s last route filtering system. If the kidneys don’t work correctly, toxins build up and poison our blood.

“Why can’t I lose weight,” is a common question that we receive from our customers. Obesity or an inability to lose weight is usually a sign of an imbalance in the hormonal system. For many people, this means that no matter how hard they try to lose weight through exercise or healthy eating, they will still find it very difficult to shed the pounds. The thyroid, adrenal glands, ovaries, and even the liver can determine body shape and size.

Consider the following to determine where you might have an imbalance:

* Too much fat below the belly button and on the thighs = look at the thyroid

* Big belly, big arms, and big legs = look at the adrenal glands

* Big abdomen and lower body = look at the ovaries.

* Big all over equally= look at the pituitary

If you fit on of these categories, consider committing yourself to the Power Plan that addresses the imbalanced area.

Thyroid Power Plan

Adrenal Power Plan

Ovarian Health Power Plan

Pituitary Support Power Plan

If none of these categories fit your concern, try the ‘Lose Weight’ Power Plan for men or women.

Other helpful tips to supporting weight loss:

- Stop using all toxic cleaning products if possible and use the new Natures Fresh green cleaning products.  Toxic cleaning products stimulate estrogen receptors in the body and cause early puberty and obesity.

- Stop using plastic containers to store food. Don’t microwave in them and don’t use plastic water bottles.  Plastics have a similar effect on the body as do toxic cleaning products.

- Finally, work on good elimination (at least 2 good bowel movements daily). You must drink plenty of water for this to occur.  Eat off of a 9-inch plate so that there is no overeating, and exercise 30 minutes daily to where you have a light sweat.

Herbs CAN help boost your fertility!

In searching for excellent quality products to aid fertility, we have both Western herbal supplements as well as Chinese formulas.  See the infertility Power Plans for men and women at Herbal Health Center for excellent programs.

If you prefer the Chinese herbs for infertility, the following is the recommended program:

TCM Chinese Stress Relief: this is a mineral rich formula that assists in proper energy flow in the body. It is called a Fire Quenching formula as it is calming in nature and reduces stress, a primary factor in studies on infertility.

TCM Chinese Mood Elevator:  This formula is actually a liver formula and regulates Chi energy in the body. The liver governs and assists female hormonal balance.  This formula raises energy in the liver and female zone as well as lifts the mood.

TCM  Chinese Anti-Gas:  This is also a liver/gallbladder formula but has a different function.  This product dispels “earth” .  It assists in removing toxic obstacles in the liver or female zone that may stand in the way of pregnancy.  It is very important to include this as part of the program.

Beyond these 3 herbs for infertility, our PreNatal Vitamin and our Skeletal Strength formula is recommended as general supplemental nutrition.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States and steps may be taken to help prevent it through natural health. Please read the following facts and share with the people you care about.

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard
tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime

3. When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented
from multiplying and forming tumors. See the Immune Support Power Plan to keep your immune system strong.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These
could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. See the Radiation Detox Power Plan.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9 When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
