MS research highlights role of vitamin D: Researchers at the Menzies Institute in Hobart have found that increasing vitamin D levels reduces the risk of getting Multiple Sclerosis by up to 50 per cent. Professor Bruce Taylor says vitamin D is also an effective treatment for the autoimmune condition which affects the central nervous system. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/06/03/2587925.htm

H. Pylori Bacteria linked to Alzheimer’s: Last month a study was released in the prestigious Journal of Neurology which links the common bacteria helicobacter pylori to Alzheimer’s. This is an important study – not only does it link the bacteria and Alzheimer’s Disease, but it shows that eradication of the bacteria has been successful in treating the associated symptoms of cognitive decline. Here’s a synopsis of the study abstract…
Eradication of Helicobacter pylori may be beneficial in the management of Alzheimer’s disease. Infectious agents have been proposed as potential causes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recently, we documented a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in patients with AD.
At the 2-year clinical endpoint, cognitive and functional status parameters improved in the subgroup of patients where Hp eradication was successful but not in the other patients. Hp eradication may positively influence AD manifestations, suggesting a possible common link between Hp and AD.
There is much related information and several images of Alzheimer’s-affected brains on the website at www.amenclinics.com.

Testimonials for Nerve Eight Herbal Combination:
Nerve Eight is what originally got me into NSP. I had injured my back (muscular injury not skeletal) and it would never heal. I had a baby and couldn’t pick her up. I was on a heating pad at least 4 times a day. After taking the eight for 2 days I had no more pain and after 2 months no longer needed the Eight. I guess it relaxed it enough that it healed on its own. Without the eight it wouldn’t relax. Also was great for the pain.

I really like Eight and have used it for all kinds of pain, headaches, back pains, nervousness, etc. and this last week my son got sunburned and the first day or so was itching so badly he could not stay at school (yes, we used aloe and Herbal Trim on it ). He was really miserable and all I could think of that might help was Eight because I know it helps with pain and helps heal nerve endings, which I figured was involved with the itching. It worked great. He settled right down and was able to be comfortable as long as he kept taking the Eight for a couple of days. He is my 16 year old that I have a hard time getting to take anything, but he kept that bottle with him those few days.

I also LOVE Nerve Eight. I started using it with my 10 year old that is DHD/Dyslexic/Epileptic/blah, blah, blah — doctor’s diagnosis. It worked really well for him. It kept him calm and he didn’t complain about all those aches and pains he always was having.
I started a dear friend of mine on it the other day. She is going through a rough time. She is 73 and her husband passed on a few years back after a long ordeal with cancer. She experienced their wedding anniversary this past weekend and then experienced ungrateful family members stating —
“Well dear, we decided you can’t go with us on vacation, you are old and will slow us down.” Really slapped her in the face, poor thing. She was all fidgety and nervous and couldn’t sleep and all that, along with some painful joints and things. I put her on the Nerve Eight, she went out to eat with another friend of ours and they called me about 4 hours later, laughing and giggling. The 73-year-old was ready to paint the town. Needless to say she loves Nerve Eight now, also.
Herbally yours, Lisa Canon

Holistic Health For Men – Finding Hope For An Enlarged Prostate
By Dr. Rita Louise
The prostate is a walnut sized gland that sits just below the bladder in men and is an integral part of the male reproductive system. Made up of two lobes and enclosed by a layer of tissue, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around the age of 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results in what is identified as an enlarged prostate.
As the prostate gets larger, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra. While the data varies, it is believed that most men over the age of 45 experience some amount of prostate enlargement, but may live symptom free. This enlargement is usually harmless, but it often results in problems urinating later on in life. By 60, it is believed that 80% of all men experience some sort of urinary interference due to prostate enlargement.
Enlargement of the prostate is not a malignant condition, but it does put pressure on the urethra and can create a number of urinary complaints such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, the need to get up at night to urinate, difficulty starting, a reduction to the force of the urine stream, terminal dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder and even the inability to urinate at all. If left unchecked, benign prostatic hypertrophy can cause serious problems over time including urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones or incontinence.
It is important to take care of your prostate and address any prostate, be it an enlarged prostate, prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) or prostate cancer early on. Take an active role and protect yourself by having your prostate checked regularly. Traditional treatments for prostate issues include the surgical removal of all or part of the prostate. While most people experience a relief of symptoms after surgery, it may leave them impotent or incontinent. For the health conscious, this should only be used as a last resort.

Recommendations For Prostate Health
By Georgiana Duncan
All men 20 and older should take 25 mg. of Zinc, # 1596-8, daily to keep the prostate healthy and prevent inflammation. Zinc is now milled out of our grain products and absent in our soil in which the fruits and vegetables are grown resulting in a wide-spread deficiency. Men also lose zinc with every ejaculation
Incorporate a healthful diet filled with lots of fruits and vegetables and low on saturated fats, sugars and processed foods. To avoid constipation, which puts pressure on the prostate gland, take a fiber supplement such as Nature’s Three, # 1345-0, or LoClo, #1348-4.
Kegel exercises can be done to improve circulation to these tissues. A kegel exercise is performed by pulling up all the muscles around the scrotum and anus. Repeat this movement 10 times. Try doing this “invisible” exercise 5-6 times daily.
For men suffering from prostate enlargement, Saw Palmetto Concentrate, #635-9 is the place to start. Saw palmetto has a long history of relieving testicular inflammation and inhibiting the hormone responsible for prostate enlargement.
A great combination for prostate issues and prevention of prostate swilling is Men’s Formula with Lycopene, #3112-7, which contains pygeum, saw palmetto, gotu kola, stinging nettle and zinc.
You can also consider PS II, # 1050-8, or P-X # 1234-5. Both products contain antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial for maintaining healthy prostate gland function. It is also advisable to take antioxidants. Super Antioxidants, # 1825-8, or Thai-Go drink, # 4095-1, will help to protect these sensitive tissues from oxidative damage
