GENERAL HEALTH NEWSLETTER
We haven’t
seen too much evidence of summer here in the
Cape so far, but now and then we get a sunny
day – sigh, hope the real summer comes
soon…. I’ll leap straight into the
newsletter without further ado – little late
this month due to being snowed under!
IN THE NEWS
Loads of new interesting articles (far too
many to mention, sadly) have surfaced this
past month, so I’ve cited some here for you
to read. Although I don’t have room this
month to mention any, I’m sure those of you
who read a lot will be amazed at all the new
Fish Oil Studies surfacing – it’s really
exciting. I don’t think there has been a
more researched substance in the past
decade, nor one which continues to produce
more overwhelmingly positive evidence for
the improvement of all aspects of human (and
animal) health. (See my websites too, for
new articles on fish oil, especially the one
with the recent findings on how it helps you
lose weight!)
South Africa’s Water Quality is
Deteriorating… Fast!
South Africa's water quality is fast
deteriorating but the shrinking scientific
and engineering capacity to counter this is
emerging as the "real crisis" to strike the
country according to Dr Anthony Turton, a
senior water researcher at the Council for
Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR),
who maintains that up to 50% of
municipalities "do not even have one
qualified engineer" on their staff.
Turton cites scientific research to counter
the toxic cyanobacteria, also known as
blue-green algae, which is found in most of
SA's river and reservoir systems, according
to a recent CSIR study, and can cause
diarrhoea and vomiting - and even liver
damage over time. It also appeared on the
news a few weeks ago that SA has the worst
water in the world…
"Nowhere else in the world is this happening
so we cannot turn to other countries and
say: 'Please help us'. We as a nation will
be required to solve this problem as a
nation.”
Read the whole scary report.) Truly,
the ONLY way to ensure your water is safe
today is with a proper
Water Distiller – nothing else will come
close. The demand for distillers is high
but new distillers arrive on Tuesday. You
may book one (in short supply as everyone
wants a quality model – don’t buy the
cheapies that pack up, ours last a lifetime)
by phoning our offices or email
pa@sallyanncreed.co.za.
Creeds have them too. (I’ve never
been so pleased to have distilled water
available! Imagine the alternative….??)
Cholesterol
lowering drug 'increases risk of cancer by
50%
A cholesterol-lowering drug may increase the
risk of cancer by half, according to new
findings. Researchers found there were 105
cases of cancer in people taking Inegy
compared to 70 in those on a dummy drug over
a four year period. The study also suggested
that Inegy, which combines a statin called
simvastatin and another drug called
ezetimibe, has little effect in reducing the
risk of heart attacks and strokes. Read the
article here.

Osteoporosis
Drug May Cause Deaths
We already know these drugs lead to ‘jawbone
death’, and now the new once-a-day tablet,
which is under development (called Fablyn),
may increase the chances of death from
cancer or stroke, according to an FDA review
posted on the agency web site.

WHAT’S NEW
Sweet Pea
will be launched at the end this month. This
is really one of the most delicious safe,
natural sweeteners yet, and one I have
worked on for a while and am very excited
about it. You now have a choice of several
safe, natural sweeteners available developed
for Nourishing Solutions by Sally-Ann Creed,
including: SuperSweet, Stevia, Xylitol
(loose and in foil sachets) – and now
Sweet Pea, which to me tastes the most
like ‘real’ sugar. Not one single calorie
and a Glycaemic Load of 0! It’s great
to have a choice of safe sweeteners for food
and beverages without the dangers of
fructose or artificial sweeteners, which is
all we’ve been dished up for too long.
Order R500 or more and we’ll pop in a
surprise gift plus a bottle of Sweet Pea.
The Omega-3
Solution
– yes, at last it’s available! MCC
Registered, and 80% active, it’s
probably the strongest fish oil (and the
purest) in the country. The beauty of it is
that you only need 2 softgels a day for a
dose, so you can either continue to use the
highly effective Ultimate Omega-3 capsules,
or try The Omega-3 Solution. This is
Sally-Ann’s own personal brand under the
Nutrition Solutions label. We’ve had a bit
of a run on it, but have fresh stocks in
now, whew.

Creamy
Oat Milk Powder
is at a very special discount for
October. We’ve ordered loads as we keep
running low due to huge demand! Oats are
excellent for lowering cholesterol as
they contain beta-glucans, well known
for their unique soluble fibre which is
abundant in oat milk. Email us for
special prices on our October Bulk List.
The Health Café:
Cold Red Bell Pepper Soup
With summer
here, it’s time for delicious chilled
soups. This is one of my favourites:
What you’ll need:
3 large red bell peppers
4 leeks, sliced (white part only)
2 cups stock (I use Marigold stock cubes)
2 cups buttermilk
Pepper to taste
What you do with this:
Roast the peppers or grill them until the
skin is charred
Place in a paper bag and cool, then peel
them remove seeds, and cut into chunks.
Bring stock to the boil, add leeks and
simmer for 20 minutes.
Add peppers and simmer 20 minutes more.
Cool; puree in a blender.
Add buttermilk and freshly ground black
pepper to taste. Serve chilled.

commented on this section last month.
Nothing will enhance your life and health
more than knowing our magnificent Creator!

He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how
shall He not with Him also freely
give us all things!
If you would like to know more about how to
know God, please contact me personally –
we’d love to help you find that peace that
passes all understanding.
BYE FOR

Life’s to be lived to the full – you only

count both for now and for all eternity.
Love & blessings till next month!
