Important Information
This free e-newsletter is borne out of a
passion for proper health education to be made freely available to
everyone (and don’t worry, your email address will never be given to
anyone else – it remains confidential). I am 100% dedicated to finding
and reporting the truth on topics that matter and I am also
100% independent, which means I take no
money from companies or products I may write about, and I cannot be
bought off by suppliers. It is also not my intention to sell you
anything in this newsletter and I promote what I believe to be the
absolute truth at all times. Sometimes people heavily promote a
particular brand of water filter, cleaning agent, health product or
equipment for monetary gain, free advertising or some exposure as a
result of their “endorsement”. I have never done this, nor will I ever
do so. It is my absolute joy and pleasure to provide scientific
information in this newsletter – for free! Hope you enjoy it!
DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this Newsletter was prepared

believed to be accurate and reliable. The information herein should not
be used to treat or to prevent any medical condition unless it is used
with the full knowledge, compliance and agreement of your personal
physician or other licensed health care professional. Readers are
strongly advised to seek the advice of their personal health care

programme. All information supplied is for educational purposes only,

Are you being Poisoned? |
 |
Carrying on our theme of
avoiding poisons in our
environment and products, please
take a few minutes to watch this
just-released, powerful 7 minute
film by
storyofcosmetics.org.
It examines the pervasive use of
toxic chemicals in our everyday
personal care products, from
lipstick to baby shampoo, and I
strongly encourage you to share
this message. Get your pen & a
piece of paper out to take down
some of these chemical names too
so that you can avoid them in
all the products you buy –
including ‘natural’
products. |
|
|
|
|
Toxic
chemicals have the potential to harm and
disrupt your endocrine system – and
these concerns have now been validated
at the highest level by the US
President's Cancer Panel in their
just-released report
'Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk:
What We Can Do Now'.
The eminent advisers on the Cancer Panel
confirm endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs)
can interfere with normal animal or
human hormonal systems and alter hormone
action. In particular, they highlight
the misnomer that these chemicals are
only harmful in high doses, pointing to
evidence that "many EDC effects may
occur at low doses..." These include
nasties like Bisphenol A (BPA),
phthalates, parabens and growth
promoters used in food production. In
fact, LaSalle D Leffall Jr, MD, Chair of
the Panel, said “In girls, phthalates
may cause early puberty and higher
breast cancer rates later in life...
[and] have been linked to problems with
sperm count and sperm quality, and like
other EDCs, phthalates are a suspected
breast carcinogen" |

B6 FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS |
 |
A brand new
study published in June by the
European Journal of Clinical
Nutrition has shown that
taking high doses of Vitamin B6
(sometimes called P5P or
pyridoxine) may reduce the
inflammatory markers associated
with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
according to the researchers.
What gets to me is that there
are still people going around
saying that nutritional
supplements don’t help, and
study after study is telling us
otherwise! This is one example. |
|
|
|
|
RA is an autoimmune disorder where the
body’s own immune system turns on
itself. RA is not like osteoarthritis,
where only the bones and cartilage in
joints is affected – this form of
arthritis may cause severe swelling in
other parts of the body. In the 12-week
study 35 RA sufferers were randomly
given either 100mg B5 + 5mg folic acid,
or just the 5mg folic acid alone daily,
even though the recommended daily
allowance for B6 is only 1.3mg/day.
With blood testing, researchers measured
the pro-inflammatory markers at the
beginning of the study of all the
participants, including: interleukin-6
(IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha),
C-reactive protein and erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (ESR), plus the
immune responses were measured by noting
the number of immune cells present in
the blood.
IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels significantly
decreased in the vitamin B6 group after
supplementation, while no significant
changes were noted in the folic acid
group, although the number of immune
cells was similar in both groups. Other
possible beneficial and highly effective
aids for RA include borage seed oil (GLA),
and high-dose fish oil supplements to
reduce morning stiffness and joint pain.

supplementation improves

Testimony |
After my May newsletter on
“Pulling the Wool Over your
Eyes” (see |
 |
my site) where I
exposed the dangerous chemicals
in so-called healthy washing
powders – I received this lovely
letter:
Good Afternoon Sally, recently
your May newsletter had an
article headed "Pulling the Wool
over Your Eyes" about washing
powders and their contents. I
printed it out and gave it to a
friend and have other
|
|
people interested in what you
told us in that
article. I personally went up to
my local health store and told
the lady about what you had said
and did she sell anything
without all the chemicals. The
lady pointed to a shelf with a
whole row of 1kg and 2kg buckets
of Triple Orange Bio Detergent
which is 100% Orange Oil Base.
Where have I been all this time
not to know about this? Thank
you so much for your newsletters
and God bless your work.
Sincerely, Doreen Flanagan
(PS: This is what I have used
for ages, and we sell the
gorgeous Triple Orange range of
washing gel for clothing and for
dishes – contact us for more
information) |

Spiritual Health:
|
|
|
How would you feel if someone came up to you to whom you
owed a million Rand – and said – I release you from this
debt? Jesus has released us from a debt of sin and
failure which is far in excess of any money – we are
free – totally free – when we turn our lives over to
Him. Find real freedom in Christ – it will change you
forever! |
