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!

General Newsletter – July 2008

With the winter chill in full swing we are thrilled to report we have had no colds, flu’, coughs or infections again this year! With all around us falling prey to the dreaded lurgy, my hubby and staff are all fighting fit! Such is the power of good food and excellent supplements!

 

In fact our new Ester C is so potent together with the citrus bioflavonoid blend we’ve chosen – I haven’t ever known a more effective Ester C!  At the first sign of a cold or sore throat, take one Ester C oval every hour for the duration of the first day, you should be ready to awaken 100% fine the next day.  Take around 4 per day for the next few days (if you even remember you had a problem!) to ensure the virus has gone completely, as it takes around 3 days for the average cold virus to die.  Without bioflavonoids, Ester C is only half as effective – but this has both present.  This is something we all need on a daily basis for life, as the body cannot make it.

 

Special Offer

For our Newsletter readers, we are offering our Ester C at the JUNE price this month with SuperSweet (see below for more on that) – as we have had to raise the price of new stock sadly in line with fuel prices etc, and once this present stock has gone, it’s gone.  If you want some of this ‘Immune Power’ let Colleen or Maureen know on pa@sallyanncreed.co.za.  For every bottle of Ester C you buy now at the JUNE price, we’ll also give you last month’s price of SuperSweet (utterly divine product for ensuring weight loss and healthy flora to sweeten tea/coffee etc).  You will save quite a bit, and feel fantastic too.  (This is only for Newsletter readers, so please quote this newsletter – everyone else pays the new prices).

 

Our Ester C is the best-priced Ester C on the market right now, and is the ‘real deal’ as it has come from the developers and manufacturers of the patented Ester C product in USA.  Not only will your skin glow, but your immune system will be bolstered for the winter.  This product is MCC Registered, and soon will have a Nappi Code.

 

Protect your Precious Eyes

Here are a number of things you can do to prevent deterioration and improve quality of vision:

·         Stare at something in the distance for 30 seconds every 60 minutes. This will improve your long distance focus

·         Put your finger in front of your face (approx 6-8 inches away). Stare at the finger for ten seconds and then focus on something in the distance. Again this is good for long distance focus

·         Nod your head up and down slowly a number of times, looking at the ceiling and then at your toes. This will increase the blood circulation to your head and eyes (um, don’t let your boss/wife/husband/kids or even dogs see you doing this exercise….)

How To Lose Weight with MaxiFOS and SuperSweet

Because MaxiFOS & SuperSweet cannot be digested in the upper part of the intestine, they have some unique properties that other carbohydrates do not have. MaxiFOS & SuperSweet won't raise blood sugar or trigger insulin secretion like many of their fellow carbohydrates. They act as fibre which helps regulate the digestive process and increase the growth of certain intestinal bacteria, like the Bifidobacteria that we depend on for our health. Their fibre-related activity also allows them to interact with the complicated process of fat metabolism. For all of the above reasons, research studies continue to explore the benefits of these products for improvement of intestinal function, reduction of fat levels in the blood, and improved blood sugar regulation. Better regulation of immune responses and improved bone health are also areas of current research interest with respect to this family of ‘super-fibres’.

 

What’s the difference between MaxiFOS and SuperSweet?

MaxiFOS is pure FOS, whereby you can add it for very MILD sweetening to your food or beverage, but in effect it’s completely tasteless.  MaxiFOS is a powerful PREBIOTIC, which encourages the proliferation of healthy intestinal bacteria, cutting down on gas, bloating, constipation and all the other tummy troubles you may have. My recommendation is that you take 1-6 large teaspoons a day (more if you like) in a therapeutic capacity to do the following:

·         As a PREBIOTIC to bolster healthy bacteria (this is the FOOD that your healthy bacteria live on!) – very helpful to take with a probiotic like MaxiBiotic (which also contains a little MaxiFOS, but the additional MaxiFOS greatly boosts the activity of a probiotic)

·         To encourage fat metabolism

·         To dramatically improve intestinal function

·         To significantly reduce levels of fat in the blood

·         To encourage blood sugar regulation – balancing blood sugar is all-important

·         Improve immunity

·         Improve bone health and encourage bone mass (great for osteoporosis)

·         To add extra soluble fibre to your daily food intake – we all get too little

 

SuperSweet on the other hand is made up of MaxiFOS and stevia (the highest grade in the world) – which is derived from a herb.  Because this is so much sweeter than MaxiFOS, you can use it as a very inexpensive sweetening aid instead of sugar. So you “supplement your beverage” in effect by adding a soluble fibre, whilst sweetening!  You only need very little of this and it goes a looong way, so can’t really be used in a therapeutic capacity as MaxiFOS can.  But used with MaxiFOS will have an extremely powerful effect on blood sugar control (stevia is known for this, as is MaxiFOS), plus you will be getting NO calories at all.  SuperSweet has all the benefits of MaxiFOS (at smaller doses), with the added advantage of sweetening food or drinks without the aftertaste which plain stevia offers.  In all, these two are an awesome duo. 

 

Of course taken with MaxiBiotic as well, you have the beneficial bacteria to go with the other two, creating a perfect environment for your weight, immunity, bone health and healthy bacteria to do all the right things!  For more information, please write to pa@sallyanncreed.co.za or phone us on (021) 794-3052 office hours.  We’ll send you some if you’d like us to!

 

Recipe: Mushroom Quiche

Use exotic mushrooms in the supermarket if you can find them, like cremini, shitake, portabella and oyster –otherwise ordinary ones are fine.

6 organic eggs

¼ cup beef broth

2kg mushrooms, sliced

½ medium onion, chopped

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced

¼ cup chopped parsley

¼ cup chopped dill

Cayenne pepper to taste

 

What you do with this:

·  Coat a medium frypan with extra virgin olive oil and heat over medium-high setting.

· Whisk eggs in a medium bowl; set aside.

· Heat the broth in the frypan.

· Sauté mushrooms and onions in broth until caramelized and broth is absorbed.

· Add chicken and continue sautéing until cooked through.

· Let mixture cool slightly.

· Add chicken-vegetable mixture, herbs and cayenne to eggs, mixing well.

· Coat a quiche or medium glass pie plate with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.

· Pour mixture into pan.

  out clean.

· Let cool for 5 minutes and slice into 6 portions – a serving size is two wedges each.
