Four Reasons to Try Hopi Ear Candling

Ear Candling has been around for more than 80 years, although till this day we do not have the relevant information to tell us exactly how and where they were discovered. Ear candling is a holistic practice that has an energetic effect on our bodies. We wanted to find out the benefits of Ear Candling so we sent our Kayla and Angela to a seminar by Eterno Naturals where Dr Harmony herself spoke about the benefits of ear candling and demonstrated how the practice should be properly carried out.

Dr Harmony grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and had her many disbeliefs about ear candling and whether it would really work. It wasn’t until her own child was run down with endless ear infections for 6 months that she took Ear Candling as a last result after she had a consultation with Dr Berryhill, a naturopath doctor, even though she was unconvinced that it could work. She conducted four candles on her son’s ear and he was never sick again. This immediately shifted her state of mind and found that ear candles are a natural success.

Dr Harmony went on to create the Harmony Natural developing hand crafted ear candles “Out of the highest quality food grade wax available for the safest and cleanest burning candle on the market” as she puts it on the Harmony Natural website.

The candles have been hand crafted for 19 years by single parents, those with disabilities and homeschooled families. Dr Harmony grins as she explains that “these candles are crafted by people who put their heart and soul into their work,” therefore you are getting the best product possible. Dr Harmony has candled over 10,000 people in her time and her favourite thing to hear is “It worked – I feel clearer!”

Dr Harmony has furthered investigated Ear Candles and the misconception that it comes from the Hopi Tribe and that it removes ear wax, yeast/candida, or bacteria/fungus from the ears which is extremely false. Ear Candles do not work as a vacuum but rather as a vortex that helps clear and open the ears in order for the body to actively heal itself.

You might want to try Ear Candling for these 4 important reasons:

  1. Ear Candling can be used for the relief of:
    • Ear and Sinus infections
    • Hearing Loss
    • Vertigo
    • Headaches
    • Stress
  1. When ear candling, it puts your body into a “relaxation sensation” which opens up the airways and allows the body to heal itself naturally through “relaxed wakefulness
  1. People who have tried them tell story after story of success. There is absolutely no negative impact the only thing that can happen is that there is no effect. So what is there to loose?
  1. It is a natural take on modern medicine and that has almost no carbon footprint!

After having been ear candled myself I would simply try it for the fact that it makes you feel instantly more mellow – quite the opposite to what I expected as the thought of a candle in my ear made me feel slightly anxious! The sensation is slightly warming and there’s a little background noise as it burns yet the relaxation effect is similar the feeling you get having awoken from an especially long and deep sleep when you’re still deeply relaxed. Definitely a far more healthful choice than a totty of rum before bed for those that find it hard to wind down!


45 Reasons to Take Serrapeptase

The following information was passed to us by Robert Redfern of Good Health Naturally. Their Blockbuster AllClear and SerraEnzyme Serrapeptase enzyme formulas are our most popular products and can be very useful in supporting health due to their function of reducing unhealthy inflammation in the body.

Robert has been talking about serrapeptase for many years now and these 45 serrapeptase reviews he passed us are all using either Blockbuster AllClear or SerraEnzyme. Here’s his (and his clients’) words in full:

————

Serrapeptase is the amazing enzyme that stops unhealthy inflammation in its tracks and clears inflamed dead tissue. Science has now concluded that the prime factor in the majority of disease is inflammation. Sorry drug companies, but your anti inflammatory and its side effects are not needed. Serrapeptase is the safest and most effective all round solution to inflammation and the feedback from such a wide range of conditions proves it.

Since I started in 2001 to publicize Serrapeptase, each year has seen a larger and larger array of conditions that can be helped by this wonder enzyme. Even though there are only 23 studies, the feedback from Practitioners, doctors and the thousands of users proves that nearly everyone can benefit by taking it.

 

A Practitioner’s Story

Sylvia De Santis – Naturopathic Counsellor

A patient – After taking 2 tablets 3x a day of the 40,000 IU, for about six weeks, her shortness of breath had lessened, her voice was back to normal, and her cough had subsided to just a little.

Personally – I had a constant pain in my back for over 20 years. It was something I just lived with, and never really took anything for it unless it got too unbearable. After taking Serrapeptase for about three weeks, I realized I had no pain. I am so amazed with this product that I talk to people all the time about. Almost everyone I know could benefit from it one way or another. I now take 2 to 3 a day just for maintenance.
~ Sylvia DeSantis

 

Acne Rosacea

‘I suffered from Acne Rosacea for 13 years’

Says Pat: “I’d suffered from acne rosacea for 13 years and nothing seemed to work. It was when I was onto my 2nd or 3rd bottle that I noticed the rosacea was clearing up.” Now on maintenance dose of 1 x 3 daily. Pat is delighted that her skin tone is now perfectly even and her pimple red nose a thing of the past.

 

Adhesions

‘Within three weeks, I felt relief’

Since September 2006, I suffered with abdominal adhesions and had to take a prescription three times a day, all with no results. I tried Serrapeptase capsules, and within three weeks, I felt relief. I am improved 85% to 90%. It also helped with my varicose veins. K.F. – USA

 

Angina

‘Since taking the 80k IU Serrapeptase tablets, my Angina has stopped’

I had angina pains just walking my dog around the block by the time I only reached the half way mark. I took 6 of the SerraEnzyme 80K tablets for 30 days, and now I’m down to just 3 a day. Again, I’m 82.
~ Larry Hawes – Ellenton, Florida

 

Animal Treatment

‘The dog had immediate results’

We have a 14-year-old arthritic dog that could hardly walk. As he got older, he was getting much worse. We came across Serrapeptase, and to our great relief, the dog had immediate results. It has now stopped hurting, he is able to sleep much more comfortably, and he is generally more relaxed.

Yours faithfully, A.H. – USA

 

‘They have all now put their horses, dogs & husbands on Serrapeptase.’

Ruth called very upset as her 26 year old mare was so chronically lame with arthritis that 3 vets had recommended that she be put to sleep. We recommended that she try SerraPet, as she had tried everything else. We put Walnut on 12 tablets a day and to keep her on that until Ruth noticed an improvement, then to drop the dosage to 8 a day. 18 months down the line, Ruth and Walnut are back riding round the village and thrilled, Ruth keeps Walnut on a maintenance dosage of 4 tablets a day.
~ Ruth Kelso – UK

 

‘A course of SerraPet got him back and winning’

I was delighted with the results achieved on my Pekinese who had back/leg problems and wasn’t walking properly. Vet suggested an operation! A course of SerraPet got him back and winning in the show ring. I have given my vet your brochure so that he could read up about it, as he was amazed at the lad’s recovery! Mrs. Jarvis

 

Arterial Disease

Carotid Arteries – ‘Serrapeptase has done the trick.’

I just wanted to let you know that I have my results from my ultrasound on my Carotid Arteries. The left in now completely clear from 48% blocked and the right has a small visible amount about 5% to 10% from 50% blocked.

From something that cannot be reversed, good old Serrapeptase has done the trick. Many thanks for all your advice and encouragement. Best Regards, Harold

 

‘It has kept my brother alive and helped my twin sister tremendously.’

My sister has a blocked artery in her brain (found by some kind of testing). BlockBuster and Serrapeptase has kept her from needed another stint since she started the therapy.

My brother has also improved dramatically since using your recommended products (heart blockage with no stints because of no insurance). He can function now, whereas before he was incapacitated by pain. Sincerely, Charline

 

Arthritis

‘I made up my mind I’d give it a try’

“I’d just like to say that it has worked wonders for both my back and knees.” Severe pain in his back and knees was affecting Mr Owen’s life badly. He walked sideways ‘like a crab’ as he puts it. That was until he heard about Serrapeptase on the ‘Dennis the Chemist’ Radio program.

“I made up my mind I’d give it a try,” he says. “I’d just like to say that it has worked wonders for both my back and knees. I have very little pain these days. I also recommended it to one of my sisters and it has cleared up her chest problems.”

 

‘I can hardly believe the change.’

I had varicose veins on my legs for 10 months. They stood out like ropes and I was too embarrassed to wear a skirt.

I also had very swollen ankles as a result of my arthritis. I often had to be lifted out of bed as it was too painful to stand.

After 3 months on Serrapeptase, the ‘ropes’ have gone off my legs and I can wear shorts. My arthritis is so much better that I have been able to go back to work. I can hardly believe the change. Gold bless you for finding this product. Keep up your great work. Marie Shortt

 

‘To my amazement within 2-3days I was feeling relief.’

I have suffered from Arthritis for about 20 years. I started taking Serrapeptase at a rate of 4 a day, 2 in the morning and 2 at night. To my amazement, within 2-3 days I was feeling relief. All I can say is this product is great! I am walking without pain. I can now walk briskly again after all these years. One of the plus sides I did not expect is that it has helped my heartburn as well. B.P. – USA

 

Arthritis – A Practitioner Story

I have a client who has suffered with a severe gout-like arthritic pain for 5 years. His general health also suffered, he developed a lung problem and he was at a very low ebb. He was taking large doses of Ibuprofen, with little relief. He started taking Serrapeptase, but after 3 months he was still in some paint and was going to give up. I persuaded him to carry on and he started to improve. He is now fully recovered, playing golf and enjoying life again. He is absolutely delighted. A Practitioner Story

 

‘The swelling has gone, I can feel my bones again.’

“One week later the right knee is normal, the swelling has gone and now I can feel my bones again.”

Thank you so much for Serrapeptase, I took it last Friday [20/08/04] and after a few hours the pain in the knee, which has been present for the past 3 months, was gone. I couldn’t believe it, so continued with taking 3×2 tablets a day, and now one week later the right knee is normal, the swelling has gone and now I can feel my bones again.

I tell everyone this miracle, and everyone is writing down your website. May it benefit more people who are suffering so long with the wrong medicines. Thank you and Warm Greetings, Maria. T. Ph.D – Holland

 

‘I no longer need medication for Arthritis’

“I have to know it ‘works’ and isn’t just another wonder substance. That’s why I am recommending Serrapeptase to my clients. I think it is fantastic!”

Karla is 62 and for the 17 tears has suffered from severe arthritis and gout. She tried everything to rid herself of the pain even painkillers although she dislikes taking orthodox medicine.

I no longer need medication for Arthritis or for Gout and am feeling so very much better. Thank you for a GREAT product; I can recommend it to all my clients and will be happy to do so. Kindly greeting, Karla Graham

 

Arthritis: Osteoarthritis

‘I’ve recommended it to several people, they’re taking it too.’

“I’ve been taking Serrapeptase for two months now and I felt wonderful after the first few days. I didn’t think it was going to work but it has. I have no paint in my back at all and all the inflammation has gone too. There has been a marked improvement and I feel good. I think it may take a bit longer to deal with my knees and I’m prepared to persevere.

I’ve recommended it to several people and they are taking it too. I’m doing my bit to spread the news!” Mrs Morris

 

Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bone Spurs, Varicose Veins

“Within 3 days my pain diminished by 25-30%, after 1 full week on 600 mg twice a day, I was pain free! I have decreased to 400 mg bid and am still pain free.”

I think that this is the most miraculous product I have ever encountered. I have passed out literature and talked up the product to my friends, family, and clients. I am licensed to do medical, rehab and sports massage.

One of my clients wears support hose because of ropy varicose veins. He said that after only a month he is almost free from this condition. He is also impressed with the results he has seen in the reduction of symptoms of his Osteo Arthritis. Thank you for providing this wonderful miracle. A.R., LMY – USA

 

Osteoarthritis: Ann Marlatt, RH “I have not had to take any other medications since just a few days after I started taking Serrapeptase. Congratulations to a wonderful discovery.”

It was difficult for me to believe that this product could be successful as it was advertised. I did endless hours of research online before deciding to put this product in my body.

To say how wonderfully surprised I was that this product actually worked is a large understatement. Congratulations to all of us who decided to give this fantastic product a try. Ann Marlatt, RN

 

Asthma

Thank you…for making a difference to my life!

I have had bronchial Asthma for over 5 years. I started taking Serrapeptase over 12 months ago and was surprised to find that I have not suffered with a cough or cold in that time, whereas before taking Serrapeptase I would suffer 2 or 3 infections a year. Thank you Good Health Naturally for making a difference to my life! Mr. G. – Ireland

 

Back Problems (Lower)

I was in a lot of pain for 4 years until I found Serrapeptase. I had a severe slipped disc about 9 years ago and was in a lot of pain for 4 years until I found Serrapeptase. I have taken it ever since, it is amazing. I just take 2 a day, unless I do something to my back, which is once or twice a year, when I take a much higher dose, which gets rid of the pain. I would not be without Serrapeptase, it is like my crutch, I rely on it to keep me pain free. My husband takes it for mild asthma and it certainly helps him. I tell everyone about it, including my chiropractor. Linda Wigman

 

BlockBuster

‘One of my patients used Blockbuster for deep vein thrombosis.’ I’m Sheila Balmer, a practitioner. I have used Serrapeptase/Nattokinase myself for a varicose vein and over several months it has cleared up. On of the my patients used Blockbuster for deep vein thrombosis which has cleared and he found that his Diabetic retinopathy also cleared up and he’s convinced it is the Blockbuster as he has not taken anything else. He is not on a maintenance dose and has been taking the product for a year. Sheila Balmer, Practitioner

 

Myopic Macular Degeneration

A few months ago, I was startled to notice straight lines had developed a wavy appearance and immediately saw my optician who made an urgent referral to an eye clinic. I was diagnosed with a bleed at the back of the right eye, caused by Nyopic Macular Degeneration, for which I later needed laser treatment.

It was while I was recovered from the laser treatment, in mid-June that my father recommended that I take Blockbuster AllClear capsules to aid recovery. He had read that the Serrapeptase enzyme digests non-living tissue, blood clots, cysts and inflammation.

I agreed that it seemed the very thing that I needed to help mop up the damage caused by the bleed. After I started taking them, I began to feel better immediately and felt my eyesight to be much improved.

Last week I was delighted to be told at my follow up appointment at the laser clinic that I did not need any further treatment as the blood vessel has now closed. Also the back of my eye was much better and the tissue and fluid were settling down nicely. I truly believe that the Serrapeptase enzyme played a major part in my excellent recovery. Pam Hitchen

 

‘I went from 98% cranial blockage to NO BLOCKAGE whatsoever!’

I had 98% cranial blockage on the left-hand side of my brain. I bought one bottle of Blockbuster AllClear in August and one in September, and I took 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. I just saw the doctor today, and after only two bottles of Blockbuster, I went from 98% cranial blockage to NO BLOCKAGE whatsoever! The nurse also told me that I had “really good blood flow”. Needless to say, I’m ecstatic and going to celebrate my newfound health. M.D. – USA

 

‘I will certainly continue to use that product’

To the “Wow!” people, I have been a health nut most of my adult life. Had both knees injured in a car accident, and by the time I reached 77 years of age I had developed some discomfort in my leg joints while descending the stairs. Since my garden is terraced, that took away some of the joy out of being in my garden. After I started taking Blockbuster AllClear, I noticed the pain was noticeably diminished in just one day. I will certainly continue to use that product and look forward to more pleasant surprises. P.H. – USA

 

Blood Pressure

Serrapeptase made my blood pressure, which wasn’t bad, even better. My blood pressure has usually ranged around 135-145/75-85. This morning, after taking 40,000 IU capsules for 1 month at the maintenance rate of once per day, my reading was 97/57 (pulse 67). This was taken in the morning before getting up from bed. This was astounding for me. I understand that it is critically important to have the diastolic value (lower, resting heart pressure) as low as possible, which I was delighted to observe. What a marvellous product! It helps make what is good even better. G.M. – USA

 

Blood Sugar Levels

‘I can barely keep this product on my shelves.’

“I can barely keep this product on my shelves. I’ve had clients with diabetes tell me this product has helped their blood sugar levels. Also M.S. patients have reported increased mobility.” B.R. – Sarasota, FL

 

Breast Cysts

Mrs Mattley had a Lumpectomy in 1998

In 1998 I had a Lumpectomy removed from my right breast and 25 Radiotherapy treatments, since then I have had a thick hard line under my breast, and the breast has always been extremely tender, but after less hand 2 weeks on the 6 per day Serrapeptase Caps 80,000 IU all was soft and feeling normal, like the other side, it was a shock really, but what a lovely one.

Also I was diagnosed in the 1970’s with Bronchiectasis, so I have always had chest problems. I am hoping the Serrapeptase Caps will help this condition. Mrs I Mattley

 

Breast Engorgement

‘I now recommend it on a regular basis’

Caroline Harvey is a complementary therapist. “I now recommend it on a regular basis and I am quite impressed. I started taking it myself  when I was breast feeding one of my sons and developed quite bade mastitis. After a week of taking Serrapeptase I developed nervous stabbing pain. I think Serrapeptase was helping my body get rid of the cystic material as it soon went. It is expensive but it’s worth it.” Caroline Harvey

 

Bronchiectasis

‘She says she has never felt so well’

My sister aged 62 has lived in the Middle Eastfor many years and has suffered from bonchiectasis and emphysema for a long time. This is not helped by the air conditioning that runs all the time. At Christmas she caught pneumonia and was in hospital. When she recovered from that, someone suggested she take Blockbuster. She said ‘Oh, go on then, I might as well’. She has taken them ever since. She has a lot less rubbish on her chest, so does not cough as much. She says she has never felt so well. Anonymous

 

Bursitis

‘Last night was the first pain-free…in 4 weeks’

Thanks for the info. Just an update on my condition. Last night was the first pain-free continuous sleep I have had in 4 weeks. I will continue with the Serrapeptase therapy (3X3 per day) for now. Thank you, Jerry – Canada

 

Cardiovascular Disease

‘I couldn’t get out of bed.’ I have my own testimony to add to your program. I was so weak, I couldn’t get out of bed. Ninety-nine percent of people at my age die. I am 72 years young and still biting at the bit. I had deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the popliteal space behind the left patella. A part of the embolism broke off and relocated in the right lobe of my left lung. I also had a 20-year fungal infection on my big toe of my left foot, which completely ameliorated and is gone. The skin is pink and the nail is normal. My energy is back, and me mental outlook is superlative. Thank you Robert Redfern and Serrapeptase. Be Well. G.M. – USA

 

Catarrh

‘I have had terrible problems with Catarrh for many years.’

I have found SerraPlus caps marvellous for me. I have had terrible problems with Catarrh for many years. Several of my family have it, so it may be genetic. I developed asthma through stress, but managed to get rid of that by changing my diet and having cranial osteopathy, but was still left with catarrh. A friend suggested Serrapeptase and since I started taking the SerraPlus my nose is clear and I no longer have to constantly clear my throat. I am really pleased with them. Anonymous

 

Catarrhal Rhinopharyngitis

Serrapeptase helped with my really terrible Catarrhal Rhinophraryngitis.

When I was taking Serrapeptase it helped my really terrible catarrh, I could hardly breathe in the mornings. Someone advised me to try Serrapeptase and it certainly moved the catarrh. My friends are also using it, one man had trouble with his foot and another had a similar problem with catarrh. We all agree it is very much to be recommended. And I make a point of getting to bed by 10.30 the nigh Dennis the Chemist is on the radio…the first thing he ever mentions is you’ve guessed it Serrapeptase! Steve Oliver

 

Chelation

‘I no longer require Chelation.’

“After using Serrapeptase my diabetes is under such better control that I no longer require Chelation.” M.C. – Pine Mt., CA

 

Cholesterol

‘Thank you so much’ Thank you so much from my mom…she just had her cholesterol checked and it was down. Thank you so much, Karlene F.

 

Chronic Ear Infections

Ear & Sinus Infection – I suffered from an ear & sinus infection for several months. I took three rounds of very strong antibiotics. Within days of taking two tablets each day of Serrapeptase, there was an improvement, and the infections is completely gone now. In addition to the ear and sinus healing, I notice that I am feeling better overall. The best thing is that there have been absolutely NO negative side effects. I appreciate the information you have provided and thank you very much. B.W. – USA

 

Colon Problems

‘My colorectal problems feel better.’

I am taking the SerraEnzyme 80 quad-strength tablets 80,000 IU Serrapeptase – one per day. I have only been taking since Monday and already my colorectal problems feel better. For your info too, I recommend them to a friend of the lady who gives me a massage twice monthly as her friend has an enormous scar on her face from surgery. She has only been using them for two weeks and already can see a difference. Lucinda W.

 

Coughs

Mrs. T’s Persistent Cough & Colds Mrs T’s persistent cough and colds made her life a misery. “To be honest I am delighted with it. If I have a cold or a chesty cough I find it’s completely gone in a couple of days. It also helped another friend with severe cystitis. It is amazing that such a simple remedy should be so effective.” Mrs. S. T.

 

Crohn’s Disease

I had Open Heart Surgery (5 bypasses), 15 Stents, Angina Attacks, and Crohn’s Disease.

In September 1995, I had open heart surgery with five bypasses. By 2006, I had 15 stents installed. In November 2007, I started chelation, as I was having angina attacks 3-4 times a week. I started taking the 80,000 IU SerraEnzyme in December 2007, as I was once again experiencing daily angina attacks when I walked my little dog. Since I’ve been on Serrapeptase, all symptoms of angina have stopped, and I walk my dog every day here inFloridain heat around 80 to 90 degrees – a one mile walk, and no angina.

Plus, at age 80, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. If it were not for finding Serrapeptase, I would not now have control over my Crohn’s as well. L. H. – USA

 

Cysts

‘Within three months the cyst had disappeared’. “I feel as though I’ve been given an extra life!” says 64-year-old Dorothy Antrobus, “I feel and look good and it’s thanks to Serrapeptase. I swear by it.”

Some white ago Dorothy had surgery on her knee and all seemed to go well. Then she began to experience a lot of pain and was told she had developed a cyst. The rest is history. Within three months the cyst had disappeared. Dorothy Antrobus

 

Diabetes: Type II

Robert, your ‘good-word’ is spreading.

My diabetes specialist Doctor (Endocrinologist) has been delighted with my condition, and all blood chemistry measures have been virtually “non-diabetic”. If you know the scale, my so-called A1c measure has been 6.8. The only issue not seemingly ideal to me specialist, is that my so-called “good cholesterol” number is around 36, where, with my being a type II diabetic, she would prefer to see it over 40. I have thoroughly read, and endeavour to follow, the regimens in your excellent booklet “The ‘Miracle’ Enzyme is Serrapeptase The 2nd Gift from Silkworms”. Robert Rivard

 

‘My Type II Diabetes Caused Leg Numbness’ I lived with numbness in my legs for at least ten years, and it had been getting progressively worse. My herbalist told me about Serrapeptase. I took 6-8 of the 80,000 IU tablets once a day after I got home from work. I also take wheat grass. After only about a week and a half, I was absolutely amazed that the numbness in my legs had receded, and I could feel my legs again! I no longer “stump around”, and I’m able to walk normally. I’m pretty excited about that! K.S. – USA

 

Emphysema

‘I have Emphysema, but now feel like I did 30 years ago.’ Dear Staff, Thank you for the fast service. I’m not writing this to claim a freebie, but to say with Serrapeptase and Oxysorb, my life has changed beyond my wildest dreams! I have Emphysema, but now feel like I did 30 years ago. I have reduced my inhalers by 50% and could do with less. I felt today as if I was in a dream! Regards, Tom Scally

 

Emphysema – Caroline Harvery

I’m Caroline Harvery a complementary therapist. “The best result I have had was with a man who was 93 when I first saw him; this was about 2 years ago. He was suffering from very bad emphysema to the extent he could hardly walk let alone go up stairs and was on oxygen 12 hours a day. Since he took Serrapeptase he has been able to lower his intake of oxygen by 50%. I saw him a few months ago he is not 95. He was going to the Health Centre on the treadmill and said he was looking for a new wife. He is taking minerals and vitamins well, but it is the Serrapeptase that’s has yielded best result, lowering inflammation in the lungs. Caroline Harvey

 

‘It seems to have no bad side effects at all.’ When a recent respiratory test revealed a remarkable improvement in Mr Clarke’s breathing capacity, medical staff were impressed and want to learn more about its properties.

“It is early days yet,” says Joy, “we’re going to wait until he sees the specialist next time. But my husband is certainly continuing to take Serrapeptase. Unlike the steroids which affect the adrenal gland and cause depression, Serrapeptase seems to have no bad side effects at all. Maybe in time we can get him off these other drugs. I know they’re not good for you in the long term.” Mrs. and Mr. Clarke

Chlorella and Spirulina – a Guide to What’s What

Chlorella and Spirulina are superficially similar, being that both are types of algaes that are bursting with nutrients. Yet there are significant differences between each. There are times where it may be best to focus on one as well as times you’ll want to mix both. Whilst we often summarise by saying that Spirulina has the most rebuilding qualities and Chlorella the most for detoxification, there’s a whole load more to find out about each.

Mike Adams, also known as The Health Ranger, put together a great ebook that’s he’s allowing free access to and we highly recommend downloading it. Mike has many great points of view and having interviewed so many health pioneers and experts for his websites, make a great source of information on the subject.

Natural & Organic Products Show 2011

Every year we always call by the Natural and Organic Products Show in London to see what’s new in the industry, to catch up with our colleagues and friends and to seek new ways of supporting our customers. And with all the doom andf gloom in the news, it was going to be interesting to see! Would exhibitor numbers be decimated? Would lots of last year’s smaller companies be gone? We were eager to find out.

Held in London’s Olympia Exhibition Centre, it was reassuringly full. The Grand Hall was packed out and although the rafters weren’t opened there were great sections going on including:

  • Soil Association Organic Pavillion
  • International Organic and Speciality Foods
  • Beauty & Cosmetics
  • Wellbeing & Health Products

Once again we said hi to Robert Redfern and his wife and team from Good Health Naturally who were once again promoting their products including the ever popular Blockbuster AllClear. Understandable really. Robert seems at least 10 years younger than he is if not more.

As happy as that was, a more passioned moment came whilst talking to Lee Holdstock of The Soil Association. Lee was there to raise awareness of The Soil Association’s work with textiles and the fashion industry and that purity of farming meant safer clothing. It soon got hit a nerve. We’ve been considering taking more food supplements onboard as we know some of you would really benefit however the cost of having it certified organic was really bumping the prices up. I had to tell Lee how I felt.

“Why is it that food grow in it’s original state has to be certified pure? Why do we have to pay more to know that nobody has done anything to it? Why isn’t it the other way around? I mean, if you add salt or e-numbers to food you have to label that. Surely farmers that want to add pesticides, fungicides and the like should certify that they have done that? They should bear the cost of certification not the farmers who haven’t done anything wrong!”

Lee did a good job of listening and cluing us in to some really great speakers on the subject. Hopefully if enough of us can make ourselves heard, we can usher in a new age of sanity within agriculture and food production.

Elsewhere there were some trends that were upcoming:

  • More organic overseas food such as organic fresh Thai coconuts and cooking sauces (no msg either!)
  • More raw snack foods for those on the go
  • A big interest in seaweeds – no surprise post Fukushima as Iodine protects against radiation
  • An emphasis on great value basics rather than luxury touches within both foods and cosmetics

There was still plenty of enthusiasm and the show was well turned out. Jason Vale gave a talk on juicing (well what else would The Juice Master talk about?!) and at the end gave away copies of his new book which resulted in quite a frenzy!

Jason Vale book giveaway frenzy!

Jason Vale book giveaway frenzy!

I’ll leave by saying thanks to everyone who was part of a great day and with a quote handed over by Jason Vale:

If you don’t look after your body, pretty soon you’ll have nowhere left to live.


Why So Many Different Enzymes?

Enzymes are often described as the catalyst of life and their role as the enabling agent should not be underestimated. Whilst the body uses enzymes for a myriad of different functions there are two types which are used therapeutically:

  1. Systemic Enzymes
  2. Digestive Enzymes

Systemic Enzymes

Systemic enzymes are those that support the functioning of the body’s systems, although the term isn’t used to describe those that aid the digestive system. Systemic enzymes can do many things in the body such as reduce inflammation and fibrin, dissolving blood clots and clearing out old and dying tissues. This process would be carried out by the body’s own enzymes normally. In poor health, the pancreas can be slow to function reducing the amount of available enzymes and factors like poor diet and toxin ingestion can overwhelm the body’s ability to produce sufficient enzymes to mop up these problems. Supplementing reduces the burden on the body and frees up vitality to work on other tasks.

Favourite Systemic Enzyme formulas include Serrazyme which has high levels of the serrapeptase enzyme in it. This makes it suited for supporting the health where inflammation is a problem such as arthritis or sports injuries. There’s also Blockbuster Allclear, a formula which mixes Serrapeptase with Nattokinase, digestive enzymes, Seaprose and co-factors. It’s well known as being a great supplement for cardiovascular health, helping you keep your veins, arteries and capillaries well.

Digestive Enzymes

If you look at the nutrition information on a food you can see it’s made up of lots of different things – carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. When it’s in it’s original state it’s all one lump. Digestive enzymes are what breaks down food when you eat it and converts it into the various forms your body can use. Creating digestive enzymes takes quite a lot of the body’s energy – that’s why we feel tired after a heavy meal like a roast dinner – and we don’t always produce enough to deal with out food properly. Gas is one unpleasant symptom and there are many others. Some people are unable to digest dairy products, something that’s very common, especially amongst orientals. It may cause an excess of phlegm, mucus, runny nose as well as gas and this is all caused by the body not producing sufficient enzymes to break down the proteins in milk. These proteins are called lactose and people who don’t produce the lactase enzyme to digest it are called lactose intollerant.

The situation gets more complicated when we eat different food types together. Bread, potatoes or rice are predominantly carbohydrates and they digest easiest on their own. Meat, eggs, beans and nuts are mostly proteins and proteins are easiest digested when eaten on their own. Yet when humans eat – unlike any other creature on earth! – we want to mix bread with eggs, or meat with potatoes, fish with rice or eat beans and pulses with rice. This makes it hard for our stomach’s own enzymes to fully digest the food and supplementing digestive enzymes makes this easier on us.

Why Do We Stock So Many Enzymes?

This is an interesting point and there are two main reasons. Firstly, enzymes occur naturally and most foods have them in. However heating the food destroys the enzymes. This principle is one of the core foundations of the raw food lifestyle who’s followers generally enjoy better than average health simply by not cooking their food.

Enzyme therapy supplements are slightly different. The vast majority of enzyme therapy supplements available on the market use enzymes that are created in laboratories rather than extracted from food. Not all manufacturing processes are created equal, in my opinion! If the enzymes are exposed to heat at any time during the manufacturing process then their strength my be reduced. A capsule that claims to be, for example, 10,000IU may in reality only contain the strength of 1,000IU if it has been through a poorly designed manufacturing process. My own personal experience of taking enzymes at high doses was that some brands simply failed to live up to what one would expect of them. Needless to say, we don’t stock any enzyme therapy brands that we ourselves feel are poor – we take our own choices ourselves!

An easy way of seeing if a digestive enzyme is strong is to open the capsule and spread it onto some food. I do this if I’m trying to make a banana smoothie and I’ve found that the bananas are slightly unripe. If they’re still in that slightly green, starchy phase before going sweet they’ll make a smoothie that sets hard – not much fun to drink! If that’s the case I’ll empty one or two Digestive 150 Digestion Enzyme capsules into my blender. The smoothie will become runnier and more liquid as the enzymes break down the excess starches in the bananas.

The second reason for stocking several choices of the same product is because everyone is different. You have your own physiology. Out of the enzyme therapy brands that have passed our quality standards, some may work better for you than others. An example here is that of Angela. She’ll take Digestive 150 Digestion Enzymes if they are blended into a smoothie as described above but finds that taking two capsules with a meal is less comfortable for her than taking Lifegive HHI-Zyme Digestive Aid Digestion Enzymes. It may be more important to you to have the highest possible strength enzymes or you may find that one which does the job as gently as possible gets your vote. It’s an individual choice as to which is right for you.

Lastly do know that both Pineapple and Papaya are great sources of enzymes. Wherever possible we recommend that you support your health with wholesome, natural, organic foods, fresh air and water, sunshine and exercise. The combination makes all these elements and enzyme supplements more effective.


What’s the Difference Between Blockbuster AllClear and SerraEzyme?

Blockbuster AllClear and SerraZyme are both well known enzyme therapy products by Good Health Naturally. Both contain the enzyme Robert Redfern wrote about in his book,”The Miracle Enzyme“, serrapeptase. So what’s the difference?

What’s in Blockbuster AllClear?

A quick scan of the formula shows that this isn’t just serrapeptase. It’s also Nattokinase, proteolitic enzymes like protease, lipase and amylase and a range of supporting co-factor placed into a synergistic blend. For those of you into the great habit of reading the label of anything you’re going to consume, here’s the full breakdown right from the Blockbuster AllClear bottle:

What is in SerraZyme?

SerraZyme is a concentrated serrapeptase formula. In fact each capsule has twice the amount of serrapeptase in it than a Blockbuster AllClear capsule has. But that’s all it has. This is a concentrated 80,000IU enteric coated capsule designed for maximum serrapeptase delivery and nothing else.

So which enzyme formula should I use?

Go for the big one! Get Blockbuster AllClear, it’s got everything, right? Wrong. Building health is about using the right tool for the job. Both products are great formulas in themselves and although similar in that they contain serrapeptase, both are substantially different.

For arterial cleansing – for instance if you’ve been a fan of smoking, eating meat, fried foods and are concerned you aren’t doing enough to maintain cardiovascular health – Blockbuster AllClear’s synergistic formula is ideal and many people have written their personal experiences of how it has helped them.

For arthritis and other inflammation based conditions, SerraZymes high dose serrapeptase makes a significant aid to wellbeing by reducing inflammation.

Noting the difference may help you choose the right enzyme therapy product for you. Do note that we also have instructions for use of serrapeptase.


Thoughts from Dr Brian Clements

Dr Brian Clements PhD LNC runs the world renown Hippocrates Health Institute. The Hippocrates Health Institute was co-founded by Ann Wigmore (1909 to 1994) who pioneered treatment of cancer having cured herself using natural methods.  We’re proud to support that to this day through education and distribution of some of the LifeGive health formulas from Hippocrates Health Institute.

Much of Dr Clement’s wisdom comes from his daily work with terminally ill patients having taken over the helm from Ann Wigmore sometime earlier and his annual talk in London is always full of insight. Big thanks go to The Fresh Network for organising it. Here are a few of the gems we picked up from attending:

  • Irradiated foods will permanently damage your chromosomes and DNA. That includes Micromeals so do stay away from the microwave. Incidentally, in the former Soviet Union, microwaves were banned due to their track record of increased cancer. This law was disbanded after capitalism came to the country and Russia now enjoys a much higher cancer rate.
  • 90% of cancers cured by Allopathic medicine recur.  This might sound shocking and yet it’s pretty obvious that if you don’t treat the cause of a problem it’ll keep on coming. It’s all very well giving someone chemotherapy but if they keep smoking or doing other toxic habits, the illness just comes back somewhere else
  • Children born today are now having a shorter life expectancy than their parents. This difference – on average 5 years – is attributable to the build up of toxicity in the environment. All that nuclear waste dumped at sea isn’t going away fast. Nor are the chemicals poured down drains, nor the plastics and petrol fumes burned into the air. It’s now a fact that even in the North Pole there is DDT and other toxic chemicals. These are causing hormonal development issues for many life forms, particularly larger life forms like Polar bears.
  • Everything was organic up to World War II. Polyester is nowadays sold as  microfibre since it’s not popular under it’s original name. Manmade fibres give of hormone disrupting chemicals as strong as the day they were made even after 10 years and thousands of washes.
  • Fake estrogens (xenoestrogens) both feminise males and masculinise females. Affecting your sexual preference and/or gender identity is one thing; more seriously they are implicated in a host of degenerative illnesses since a properly performing endocrine (or hormonal) system is vital for health. If your hormones become blocked, other functions in the body that should be triggered by them become troubled.

Most importantly, Dr Clements said the following:

Strong and healthy people talk back. Weak and unhealthy people can’t.

Today, health and the environment affect everyone. As Dr Vernon Coleman states in his book, How to avoid your doctor killing you, we have at least a 1 in 3 chance of getting cancer and if the rate continues, it’ll soon be 1 in 2. That’s 50-50. How many others will be affected by transgenderism, infertility, developmental disorders in their children or the host of other issues lined up against us? On top of that, everyone is being affected by the effect these same toxins are having on wildlife and the eco-systems they create.

Now is the time for us to stand up. Your daily choices make a difference. Could you avoid using bleaches and switch to non-polluting alternatives? Can you support the organic trade by clothing yourself in fashions that aren’t harmful? Will you make a conscious effort to say no to goods made of plastic that could be made of natural materials like glass, wood or metal?

You may be the unknown soldier who’s story is never told, but now is the time to be strong. Your actions make the difference whether or not anyone sees or cares. Most importantly, at least you won’t be one of the many who don’t care simply because they’re to weak and unhealthy to make the difference.


Blockbuster Allclear Testimonial

We recently got the following review of serrapeptase and anti-inflammatory enzyme formula, Blockbuster Allclear from Robert Redfern in his Serrapeptase News. We’ve reproduced it here as it gives an idea of some of the ways people are using this product:

“I’m Sheila Balmer, a practitioner. I have used Serrapeptase/Nattokinase myself for a varicose vein and over several months it has cleared up. One of my patients used Blockbuster Allclear for deep vein thrombosis which has cleared up and he found that his Diabetic retinopathy also cleared up and he is convinced that it is the Blockbuster Allclear as he has not taken anything else. He is now on a maintenance dose and has been taking the product for a year.”

~ Sheila Balmer, Practitioner

We’ll bring you more Blockbuster Allclear reviews and news as it comes in and I’ll also put in my story of how I used it when I fractured my foot. Till then, good health to you!


3 Uses For Oxy-powder

Oxy-powder is perhaps best known as an oxygen based colon cleanse, a role it performs admirably. Yet Oxy-powder is far more versatile than just a powerful colon cleanse! Lets take a look at what other situations Oxy-powder is useful for:

Mitigating Overwork

We all do it. Work in our connected age is faster than ever and many of us have to travel, attend business functions and generally burn the candle at both ends. When overworked many of us will drink or comfort eat, often late at night, as a coping mechanism. This further tires the body despite its calming effect on the mind and makes the following day more wearisome.

An effective way of minimising this is to increase the flow of blood to the internal organs whilst sleeping. This is where Oxy-powder is great. One or two capsules taken with water will make you feel more recovered on less sleep. If you want to get the most out of your Oxy-powder take it with fresh squeezed lemon juice diluted in water. This makes the release of oxygen from the magnesium in the Oxy-powder more efficient.

Remedying bad food choices

Sometimes we pick wrong! It could be a bad restaurant, the wrong food for us or something that is heavy and tiresome to digest. For the body to deal with this a lot of oxygen is required by the internal organs. An Oxy-powder tablet will lighten the passage of a heavy meal or badly combined dish. If you have eaten something that isnt agreeing with you taking a couple of Oxy-powder capsules will accelerate its path out of you whilst helping the body to fight of toxins by oxidizing the problem substance whilst oxygenating the body.

Cleansing and Detoxification

Oxy-powder dispenses a load of singlet oxygen into the body. The body will respond to this in one of two ways:

1 – the body absorbs the oxygen into itself and uses it as a boost to normal oxygenation provided by respiration.

2 – the oxygen encounters something that is either non of the body or dying and oxydises it

The bodys own healthy cells are protected from the oxygen in our environment by antioxidants. We get these antioxidants from foods and good sources include fruits, vegetables and green tea. Things without antioxidant protection become aged by the oxygen. In metals this effect is known as rusting. We can benefit from this!

Since our bodys healthy cells are protected by antioxidants, excess oxygen in the body will wear out things that are in us but not part of us. For instance heavy metals, chemicals like drugs and pesticides as well as many forms of bacteria are cleansed from the system by exposure to excess free oxygen. One can therefore take Oxy-powder on an ongoing basis to support the immune system as itll work on a cumulative fashion to keep downhealth eroding factors.

Where to buy Oxy-powder?

Oxy-powder is available from our shop and its versatility combined with its lack of toxicity make it a great staple of your health cabinet. Few of us these days live in an environment close enough to where nature designed us for us to get all our daily need for oxygen just from air. What are you going to do about that fact?
