I have to tell you this is by far the best way for someone like me that is in Natural Healing to get much needed relief. We americans deal with 3 main issues that most of us are dealing with lack of energy that is better then taking one of those energy drinks, pain relief taking up to 6 pills for some pain relief and lack of sleep. I am so excited about this product, I like the fact that I do not have to take anything to get more energy expecially since I am an energy healer. I Love the fact if I have any pain that I do not have to distroy my liver to get relief from pain and its faster than taking anything. The sleep chip, well I like that too, I do not have to take another pill to get relief when I am not sleeping well.

Come and visit my new web page at lisamarie.cieaura.com, also you can write me back and I will send you a free sample or just order online, also if you know of anyone that is looking for this type of relief send this information too, please send to all of your friends.

“Our climate in Hawaii is humid at times and so the Recovery beverage mix became a solid mass because I didn’t use it frequently. I put the whole remaining solid chunk into my Vita Mix to pulverize it back into a powder. Then I put some of it back into the VitaMix with water, some ice and some Brown Cow vanilla yogurt. It was SO delicious….tasted like an orange Creamsicle from my youth. Besides it tasting so good and hitting the spot after exercise, it also renews your energy. We will never have another Recovery mix last long enough to harden on us ever again. I am sure that you could do this in a regular blender as well as a VitaMix.”

Serving for two (Blend to mix and enjoy):

1 cup or so of cold water.
3 to 5 ice cubes
3 scoops of Recovery
½ to 1 cup of vanilla yogurt

“Don recently fell at the golf course in the rough looking for a ball. He tripped over a rock and took a bad fall. The fingernail on his left hand split and was swollen. I mixed a poultice with the powder from Bone/Skin Poultice, Lobelia and Golden Seal into the salve of Golden Salve. He has been putting this on every day and the pain is gone, the split of the nail that ran almost the length of the whole nail has healed!! Herbs really do work!! He also used the Silver Shield Gel on the scrapes on his arm which were red and inflamed. They healed so quickly. Phyllis, Honolulu, HI

Increased Blood Levels of the Omega-3 Fatty Acids EPA and DHA
Could Postpone Age-related Cognitive Decline That May Precede
Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Currently, about 12 million people in the US plus the EU suffer from Alzheimer’s, with estimates predicting this figure will triple by 2050. But regular consumption of omega-3-rich food could prevent age-related cognitive decline.
Over a period of five years, consumption of approximately 400 mg omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA a day reduces cognitive decline when compared with those who consume only about 20 mg a day of the fatty acids. Greater blood omega-3 fatty acid levels may prevent a decline in verbal fluency.
The brains of Alzheimer disease patients have a lower content of DHA in the grey matter of the frontal lobe and hippocampus than do the brains of persons without the disease.
People who are hypertensive may benefit from enriching their diet with omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids, found mostly in cold-water fish and other foods of marine origin.
For safety, only use extracted fish oils are molecularly distilled to one part per billion to remove contaminants.

Nutri-Burn—Great New Taste
and All the Nutrition You Need!

Nutri-Burn high-protein meal replacement is a weight watcher’s dream—a quick, easy and complete reduced-calorie meal come true. It can also be taken while on trips to provide nourishment when cooking may be impracticable, to provide essential nutrition and electrolytes for convalescents, and to benefit athletes with its body-building and energizing nutrients. Many people use it daily as a convenient meal substitute (breakfast anyone?) even if they do not need to lose weight.

Satisfied Until Lunch
“Nutri-Burn is a fantastic meal replacement. I love the chocolate-fudge flavor and look forward to it every morning. I can’t eat a more healthful breakfast for the same price and for the same amount of calories that are in Nutri-Burn. It contains everything good—vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, good fats and carbohydrates—and nothing bad. The appetite-suppressing ingredients and the nutrients in Nutri-Burn easily get me through until lunch. I wouldn’t take it if it didn’t keep me satisfied. In fact, I put down sod in my yard for the past two Saturdays. I had a Nutri-Burn shake for breakfast each time, and it gave me plenty of energy to lay sod for four or five hours before eating lunch. And, when I’m working my office job, it’s a breeze to make it to lunch. I take Nutri-Burn because it makes me feel good about what I’m doing for my body.” Matt Savage, NSP Customer, Provo, UT

Losing Weight and Feeling Great
“I have lost 10 pounds so far with Nutri-Burn*, and I feel great taking it! I have it every day for breakfast and lunch. My work keeps me busy throughout the entire day, and sitting down to eat a meal at lunchtime is often not an option. The appetite-suppressing ingredients and protein and fiber in Nutri-Burn keep me satisfied all day long, and I know I’m getting the right nutrition for my body. I love the chocolate-fudge flavor and am excited to try the new vanilla flavor so I can mix in a little GreenZone® or some of my favorite fruits, too!” Sharon Salyer, Area Manager, Kansas City, MO

SHOULD I HAVE A FLU SHOT?
Flu vaccines can contain a number of chemical toxins, including ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, phenol (carbolic acid) and even antibiotics like Neomycin and streptomycin. In addition to the viruses and other additives, many vaccines also contain immune adjuvants like aluminum and squalene.
The purpose of an immune adjuvant added to a vaccine is to enhance (turbo charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you’re being vaccinated against. Adjuvants are supposed to get the job done faster (but certainly not more safely), which reduces the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the number of doses given per individual.
A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered “chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation,” also known as rheumatoid arthritis. (The American Journal of Pathology, The Endogenous Adjuvant Squalene Can Induce a Chronic T-Cell-Mediated Arthritis in Rats, 2000 http://ajp.amjpathol.org/cgi/content/abstract/156/6/2057) The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases.
Do yourself a favor this flu season and avoid the vaccine with its inherent (and unknown dangers) and the flu by making the healthy choice to start taking care of your body and giving it what it needs so your immune system can respond favorably to the flu. To get off to a great start, take Super Trio packets twice daily. Then consider adding the following items:
• Take a minimum of 2000 mg. of Vitamin D3. Many experts suggest 4000 mg. daily.
• Get plenty of rest and exercise. Listen to your body when you are tired and take some “down time.”
• Balance your body’s pH (viruses can’t live in a neutral pH) by eating healthy foods and avoiding sugar and sugar laden products. If you crave sweets have a Nature’s Sweet candy bar which contains Xylitol. GreenZone Ultimate (bulk), Barley Juice Powder Conc( capsules)., or Super Algae (capsules) taken daily can also help balance the pH. Have Xylitol lemonade, hot or cold, instead of soda.
• Get a good multivitamin with minerals every day such as Vitawave (liquid) or Super Supplemental (tablets) (alone or in Super Trio).
• Use probiotics daily such as Bifidophilus Flora Force or Probiotic Eleven.
• Add a product(s) daily to build the immune system such as Thai-go, Trigger Immune TCM Conc., Immune Stimulator and/or Colostrum with Immune Factors through out the cold and flu season.
• When exposed to illness boost your immune response with Fizz Active-Immune.
• Have plenty of Silver Shield on hand to use at the very first signs of a cold or the flu. Olive Leaf Extract and VS-C when combines with Silver Shield are very effective at knocking out an infection if you start it as soon as you get symptoms.

I am a Yogi in the making, but even yogis have their issues…

There is a skin condition that I have, and since working with Lisa Marie, I haven’t had to take any unnecessary pills for the healing, my skin & stress level have decreased since healing

During a session,you need to tune in with her and really allow her to work without any resistance or doubt. It really does take two to tango in Pranic healing.

But once the boundaries have fallen, all your old sticky emotions, negative thought patterns they are slowly become replaced by positive, joyous, divine faith and oneness, you are aware of the DIVINE BREATH, Aum.

It’s not only what happens inside of you that is great with Pranic healing, i.e. there is less tension in heart, alleviated pain in stomach, cleansing of the back, clearing the head, & anywhere that is congested, it shall be released…

Others will react positively to the ‘cleansed and energized’ you…still you must always protect your auric field… Lisa Marie will offer great advice during sessions… she really is a wonderful person to talk to and is truly a Buddha, at one with the Divine One.

Am very happy that we are also friends. She has helped me tremendously, dealing with major and minor issues, always available as much as possible, I really appreciate her flexible & open mind.

It’s amazing how my life has changed for the better…

Since working with Lisa M. I was proposed to, getting married next month!

My foot healed from surgery much faster..(btw: lots of chords can hook up to you when you are in surgery & when you travel on an airplane). My skin condition healing is such great news. I feel so much stronger and happier to be alive.

I finally started teaching yoga at a studio, and good news travels in more than bad. After a session you are left with *good & amp; positive* ++vibes++

NAMASTE

An emergency occurred this past weekend, so I needed to write about it and share the miraculous healing that Lisa performed. While she doesn’t like to take credit, since she is bringing in the Divine, I still feel that credit is in order because this is a true gift that ought to be appreciated and recognized!
My mother has not been in the best of health the last few years due to a combination of old age and various ailments that she has been fighting for some years. She had been traveling quite a bit the past few months, taking at least 4 long-haul flights to and from Asia, and that can take its toll on the healthiest of people.
The Angels had mentioned to Lisa that she ought to work on my mother a few days ago, and I didn’t really think of it at the time. I have had Lisa work on her this past year a few times to help her clear certain things, and my mother has responded well and accepted the healings on the soul level.
This past Thursday, my sister had called me and told me that our mother was in bed not feeling well, that she had flu symptoms and a temperature. By Friday, it was worse, so I asked Lisa to please do an emergency healing, which she performed. Later Friday, I got a message from my sister saying that they intended to take our mother to ER because her fever had spiked earlier. Friday night I was of course freaked out, not understanding what was going on. By early early Saturday morning, my family called me and told me that my mother was out of bed, walking around, without any symptoms. It was so fantastic, so miraculous, when just 8 hours ago they were talking about pneumonia, high fevers, etc etc, and then suddenly, here she is walking around as if nothing had happened. I told my sister that I had Lisa work on her; she didn’t want her to do it at first, but then I said, look, it can’t HURT her, so why not? Obviously it didn’t hurt her—she made a rapid 100% recovery in hours.
Lisa and I spoke that morning, and I expressed my deep gratitude for her work, and her quick response to my emergency request! It is no accident that Lisa has come into my life, and has made profound, positive impacts on almost every aspect of my life. It’s not that she is performing magical feats or tricks for specific things. It’s that her gift of bringing in the Divine into my life has allowed me to become open to what is already within, what is already there. Without her help, who knows, perhaps I would have got there in 20 years, but I don’t want to wait another 20 years! Why should I when she is there to heal and work now, and is available to open those channels so quickly to those who are ready. Again, I am deeply grateful for this powerful work that she brings to each session! Thanks, Lisa!

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

Since working with Lisa, my priority had been the work on healing myself and the acceptance of the break-up between me and my ex-boyfriend. But I had not dealt with another big relationship that had been plaguing me for years—that of my sibling.

My sister and I had not spoken in about 4 years, or at least on friendly terms. She and I had once been close confidantes, but we ended up in a silent war. Despite our ages, the whole family involved themselves in this battle, and it created so much strife for me that I was literally trying to run away from anyone associated with it. I had been cast as the bad one, and I had no stomach to continue trying to defend myself. The emotions she brought up in me whenever her name was mentioned became unbearable, and I decided very consciously some months ago, that if I am truly on a spiritual journey in life and if my soul’s purpose is to evolve, then I had to make peace within myself. But I still ignored it, remaining as detached as possible until the moment of course when somehow she would enter my life, then I felt the outrage all over again.

Lisa assigned me serious forgiveness work again, and I worked on it every day, sometimes several times a day. But I embraced it with gratitude, b/c I knew that this was the key to setting myself free in so many ways. It takes energy to keep anger in the body and spirit. One actually has to feed it! It wasn’t her that was holding me back, it was again, MY RESPONSE TO HER, MY OWN RESPONSE TO THE SITUATION, that was creating so much anxiety within me. How could I expect her to change when I couldn’t even change myself? I can ONLY change myself. So, when I think of her, or even speak of her, I accept her for who and what she is, and am able to bless her, thank her for helping me to see a way forward through so many emotions.

On a deeper level, Lisa had told me that our relationship was caught in the karmic web, that we had been in battle many times before, killed each other, back and forth.
Truly, it was time to end that cycle so I can now embrace and accept my own responses.

SCIENCE AND SUPPELEMENTS

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM—CHECK OUT THESE BENEFITS
Calcium and Weight Loss: According to Dr. Oz, people who got enough calcium excreted twice as much fat daily as those who did not. He stated that the average person gets 500 mg. a day and should get 1200 mgs. with menopausal women needing 1600 mgs daily. This means supplements of calcium would greatly help most people maintain or reach their ideal weights more easily.
Beware of calcium supplements made of calcium carbonate, sometimes called “dolomite.” Calcium carbonate is ground up rock bull-dozed from the earth—hardly something that should be used as a food source as the human body was not designed to be able to digest rocks! Hard-to-digest calcium supplements can cause kidney stones, bones spurs, etc.
Additionally, if you are 38 years old or older, you will have much better calcium absorption if you take your calcium with PDA, a source of hydrochloric acid which greatly improves the absorption of all minerals. As we age, we produce less and less hydrochloric acid and supplementation becomes more necessary for the best mineral absorption.
Symposium Details Calcium-Vitamin D Fracture Potential. At the European Symposium on Calcified Tissue that took place in Vienna, researchers suggested that daily consumption of both calcium and vitamin D was linked to a 20 per cent fall in the rates of hip damage in older people.

Creating an Herbal First Aid Kit for Illnesses and Emergencies
by Steven Horne, RH(AHG)
Accidents, illnesses and emergencies are a part of life. They happen to everyone. Some people might think that this is only due to “negative” thinking, but most people who promote positive thinking don’t deny that we go through difficult times; they just teach that we should look on even our difficulties in a positive light. We do this by seeing them as opportunities for growth.
In that vein, I’ve always thought that being prepared for emergencies is a good idea. Part of this is training. Everyone should have some basic first aid training and know how to handle common injuries. I also think that everyone should be able to handle common illnesses, which is why I wrote my Dr. Mom-Dr. Dad Course. (For more information on this course, go to www.treelite.com).
In this course, I offer some suggestions for an herbal first aid kit. Here they are:
A General Activator or Stimulant

You want to have at least one herb or formula which you can administer which stimulates the energy of the body. You use this at the first sign of colds, flu or other acute illness and administer it in small, frequently repeated doses to stimulate the system to remove the disease. I think Capsicum or HCP-X are the best choices, but ginger will also do.

An Antispasmodic Herb or Formula

An antispasmodic relaxes muscle cramps or spasms and can be used to ease pain, relax the body during anxiety attacks and stress, ease asthma attacks, and relieve tension headaches. Lobelia is my favorite remedy here although Blue Vervain or CBG extract could also be used.

An Immune Stimulant

It’s good to have something to stimulate the immune system. This can be used for fighting infections, but it can also be used for prevention. Take the remedy when colds or flu are going around to “immunize” yourself and your loved ones. Ultimate Echinacea and Immune Stimulator are good for this purpose, but you can use any herbal product that stimulates the immune system.

A Natural Antibiotic

I always keep raw garlic on hand to use as a natural antibiotic for fighting infections. For long term storage, I also keep Garlic Oil and High Potency Garlic in my home health care kit. Silver Shield has also found a permanent home in my first aid kit, both the liquid and the gel.

An Astringent

It’s a good idea to keep at least one astringent in your home health care kit. Astringents can be used to arrest bleeding and other discharges. They are useful for diarrhea, bee stings and insect bites and gargles for a sore throat. My personal favorites are yarrow, bayberry and white oak bark. Yarrow is particularly good because it is also a valuable remedy for fevers.

Activated Charcoal

As I said last issue, Activated Charcoal is a vital remedy that should be in everyone’s home. I especially believe every home that ever has small children in it should have some activated charcoal on hand for use in case of poisoning. It lasts forever, so there is no worry about it going bad on you.

A Blend of Topical Analgesic Essential Oils

I don’t know where I’d be without my Tei Fu oil. It has to be one of the most useful remedies I’ve ever found. It can be applied topically to ease the pain of sore muscles, to reduce swelling in bug bites and bee stings and to aid headaches, sore throats, sinus and respiratory congestion and a whole lot more.

A Shock-Relieving Flower Remedy

The classic here is Dr. Bach’s Rescue Remedy, but NSP’s Distress Remedy is even better as I explained in the last issue.

An Expectorant and Decongestant

Although HCP-X and Lobelia all have an expectorant and decongestant action, it is best to have a formula that is more specific to clearing excess mucus from the lungs and sinuses. AL-J is my favorite.

Aloe Vera Gel

A high quality aloe vera gel is useful to keep on hand for burns, sunburn, abrasions and other skin irritations, such as NSP’s Aloe Vera Gel. Herbal Trim is even better as it contains some Tei Fu oil and other ingredients.

Arnica

Arnica is one of the best remedies for treating bruises, sprains and other related injuries. Nature’s Sunshine’s Healing AC Cream is a great remedy that contains both arnica and calendula.

An Anti-Viral Formula

My favorite is VS-C. This is something you can use for chicken pox, measles, cold sores, herpes and other viral infections.

A Carminative

Carminatives are used to relieve gas, bloating and colic. Catnip and Fennel is a great choice, especially for families with young children.

Nature’s Fresh Liquid Enzymes

Although this is supposed to be a stain and odor remover (and it’s a very good one), it also makes a great first aid spray for injuries, sunburn and many other problems.

Non-Herbal Supplies

You will also want to keep an assortment of bandages, gauze pads and other dressings for wounds in your home health care kit. I also include a pair of tweezers and a needle for extracting slivers, a pocket utility knife, a small pair of scissors, an elastic bandage for sprained ankles and related injuries, an emergency flashlight and radio, and a couple of “space blankets” as an emergency way to cover someone in shock and keep them warm.
Having a kit like this (and knowing how to use it) brings me great peace of mind because I know I’m prepared for illness, injuries and emergencies.

None of us want trouble in our lives, but accidents, illnesses and injuries happen to everyone now and then. Having the knowledge and skills to know how to handle emergencies and illness effectively brings confidence and peace of mind. So does having some basic remedies on hand to use in emergencies.

There are four remedies that I think everyone ought to have on hand because they are not only incredibly versatile, they are potentially life-saving. These remedies are capsicum, lobelia, activated charcoal and Distress Remedy. Here’s why I believe each of these remedies should be on hand in every home in America (along with the knowledge of how to use them).

Capsicum and lobelia were Samuel Thomson’s “cure-all” remedies, and became main-stays of pioneer medicine in Utah. Following this tradition, the famous herbalist Dr. John Christopher put a little bit of each in nearly all his formulas. Here’s why I consider them so valuable.
Capsicum (#160-5) – Red Hot Help
Also known as cayenne pepper or red pepper, capsicum is a must-have remedy for heart attacks, shock, bleeding and frostbite. It is also useful for colds, flu and fevers. Don’t depend on the cheap red pepper you get at the grocery store (although it’s better than nothing in a pinch) because it’s usually fairly weak compared to the high grade herb used in herbal medicine.
Capsicum placed under the tongue can save the life of a person having a heart attack. It can also be placed under the tongue to help a person going into shock. Capsicum Extract (#1782-0) is very useful for this type of administration. The powder can be sprinkled directly into a bleeding wound to help stop the bleeding (along with pressure—the standard first aid treatment). Taken internally, it can help to stop internal bleeding including nosebleeds. In any of these situations, capsicum could easily save the life of someone you care about.
Capsicum is also useful in many not so life-threatening situations. A few grains of capsicum can be sprinkled into socks or gloves to prevent frostbite (a useful tip if you live in a cold climate). You can gargle with it to ease sore throat pain and take it internally for colds, flu and fevers. The extract can be applied topically to relieve pain, too.

Lobelia (#430-1, capsules; 1765-8, liquid extract) – The Intelligent Herb
Lobelia has been called the “intelligent herb” because it seems to help so many different health problems. A strong relaxant and antispasmodic, lobelia is a must-have remedy for asthma attacks, anxiety attacks, muscle cramps, whooping cough and any kind of pain due to tension. It can also be applied topically to insect bites and stings. It can be a life saver in cases of food poisoning or other types of poisoning, too.
When my wife first came to America, she did not know that you had to have a doctor’s prescription to get a refill on asthma inhalers. She ran out on a weekend and had an attack. I took her to a walk-in clinic and dosed her with lobelia en route and while we were waiting to see the doctor. She was out of danger by the time the doctor saw her. I was so thankful that lobelia was part of my home remedy kit.

I like to use lobelia in extract form because I can more carefully regulate the dose. I have helped a couple of people out of an anxiety attack the same way I helped my wife with her asthma attack. I give small, frequently repeated doses of lobelia while encouraging the person to try to relax and breathe deeply. I just squirt some extract directly into the mouth or use a dropper and administer the remedy one dropperful at a time. I space the doses about 2-3 minutes apart and continue until relief is obtained. This usually takes 5-15 minutes.

Lobelia is also good for spastic cough and whooping cough. I use it along with AL-J. I’ve applied it topically to bites and stings and watched it rapidly take down the swelling. Because large doses induce vomiting, I’ve used it for food poisoning. Once, one of my kids ate a mushroom or toadstool in the yard. Because my wife wasn’t sure if it was poisonous, she called the poison control center who advised she induce vomiting with ipecac. She went to the store to get it, not knowing that the lobelia we always have on hand would have done the same thing. (Always call a poison control center for advice before administering something to induce vomiting in cases of poisoning.)

Activated Charcoal (#366-2) – Nature’s Poison Control
I don’t use activated charcoal a lot, but I always keep it in my first aid kit because when you do need it, it could save someone’s life. Activated charcoal absorbs poisons. It is one of the most dependable remedies for poisoning that we can use because it absorbs so many different kinds of toxins. You can give it for both food and chemical poisoning (however, call the poison control center first for chemical poisoning). Charcoal is also the most powerful remedy I know of for severe diarrhea. It rapidly firms up the stool and prevents fluid loss. Applied topically, charcoal can be used as a poultice for poisonous spider bites (including brown recluse). It absorbs the venom. Poultices should be changed every 2 hours with spider bites.

Distress Remedy (#8975-1) – The Sanity Saver
While this remedy isn’t exactly a life saver, it can be a sanity-saver. Distress Remedy is an improvement on the famous Bach Flower Rescue Remedy for treating shock and trauma. Anytime we are faced with traumatic events in our lives, accidents, illness, deaths in the family, bad news, arguments or anything that causes emotional trauma and stress, Distress Remedy can help. Put about 10 drops under the tongue to help you feel calm, centered and relaxed again.
Distress Remedy can also be applied topically to promote healing of minor injuries such as bumps and bruises. It will rapidly take down swelling and help to ease pain.
These four remedies are a must for all kinds of accidents and emergencies. They are four of the basic remedies I suggest should be in a home preparedness first aid kit for emergencies.

SCIENCE AND SUPPLEMENTS

“Don recently fell at the golf course in the rough looking for a ball. He tripped over a rock and took a bad fall. The fingernail on his left hand split and was swollen. I made a poultice with the powder from Bone/Skin Poultice, Lobelia and Golden Seal mixed in Golden Salve. He has been putting this on every day and the pain is gone and the split of the nail that ran almost the length of the whole nail has healed!! Herbs really do work!! He also used the Silver Shield Gel on the scrapes on his arm which were red and inflamed. They healed so quickly.” Phyllis, Honolulu, HI

“Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid found naturally in meat and dairy products, may increase the amount of fat you burn, especially at night. ‘Placebo-controlled clinical trials have shown that taking supplements of CLA (Stock # 3010-1)for six months or more result in about 4.5 pounds of fat loss,’ says Dale Schoeller, PhD, a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Wisconsin. And Green Tea* may help with weight loss, according to animal studies.” Health, May 2009, p. 111
*Editor’s Note: For Green Tea to have medicinal benefits, you must drink at least 10 cups a day or you can take the equivalent by using three capsules of NSP’s Green Tea Extract (#1096-6) daily. Swallow whole or make into a tea by opening the capsules into hot water. Green Tea Extract is caffeine-free.

“Because more than one-half of all coronary heart disease deaths and two-thirds of sudden cardiac deaths occur among individuals without recognized heart disease (high-serum cholesterol), researcher are beginning to turn their attention to the compelling data surrounding the cardiovascular benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oil. Just one-to-two servings of fish weekly, or approximately 250 milligrams of EPA and DHA (two types of Omega-3 oils found in cold-water fish), reduce the risk for coronary heart disease death and sudden cardiac death by 36%…Harvard researchers now contend that fish oil should be the first-line treatment for heart disease”

Beware of Heartburn Medications That Deplete Magnesium: It is estimated that 4 in 10 Americans are deficient in magnesium. This mineral shortage may be exacerbated by the use of heartburn medications—the so-called designer anti-acids (proton pump inhibitors like Losec, Prilosec, Nexiu, Protonix, and Aciphex). [Clinical Endocrinology (OXF) 2008 Jan 23] The use of such drugs should be avoided, particularly because they are known to induce a rebound heartburn effect that makes individuals even more dependent upon the drug. Health Freedom News, Jan/March, 2009, p 24.

“When I was bitten by a wasp recently, I decided to see what the Silver Shield liquid would do for me. As I dipped my finger into the Silver Shield, it felt so much better. After no more than 5 or l0 minutes, I felt so much better. It’s hard to believe this liquid that looks and tastes like water can do so many miraculous things.
“It’s a great thing to take on vacation. We have used it for eye, ear and sinus issues to name a few. It helps with skin, too. Some people use it half-and-half in a sprayer bottle with Nature’s Fresh. It’s wonderful!” Ann Snyder, C.H.

“Germanium Essential Oil works! In a couple of hours my cold sore was down to half the original size and in a couple more hours even smaller. It’s still there today but very minimal. At first yesterday it was really big. Thank you.” Karen O.

Cheryl’s father was overweight, had diabetes, severe heart problems, and had had a mini-stroke. It was difficult for him to walk because his legs ached so much. He started on Grapine with Protectors slowly and worked up to 18 tablets a day to saturate his body. He legs stopped aching and he is now able to play golf. He is maintaining the benefits of the product with 8 tablets a day.

Skin Detox (Ayurvedic) is truly wonderful nourishment for skin problems. One client combined it with Vitamin A & D and saw her red, scaly thick skin on her hands turn back to normal. A teenager with acne who had tried every other product imaginable says that the Skin Detox (Ayurvedic) is clearing up his problem.
