AUGUST 2007
Hello everyone,
It has been great to have
so many new faces at the classes lately. I am hearing from
people from the community events calendars in The Current and
The Express-News, as well as from my articles in Whole Health
magazine. Also, several of you have referred friends, family
and clients to the classes – thanks!
Did you know that one of
the Top 10 Farmer’s Markets in America is held Saturdays in
Austin? The market is held on Hwy. 290 near Westgate. It is
called Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market and you can see directions
and hours at their website at
www.sunsetvalleyfarmersmarket.org. It is an excellent
market – you will not be disappointed if you go. Take several
coolers because you will definitely find things you have never
seen before or have been looking for. I personally go up 281N
to 290W, as I enjoy the drive more than taking I-35.
I am very excited about 4
new brain formulas we are now carrying from Dr. Eric Braverman
in New York. I highly recommend his wonderful book “The Edge
Effect”. It is the best explanation I have ever seen of the 4
main neurotransmitters of the brain (Dopamine, Gaba, Serotonin
and Acetyl Choline) and the four extraordinary ways they govern
our aging, memory, moods, sleep, hormones, weight and much much
more. The book is easy to read and understand.
Dr. Braverman has created
four brain supplements to complement the four brain areas. They
are simple, powerful formulas, designed to wake that brain (and
memory) up, and keep it calm and happy too! I am very pleased
to be carrying them. I would love the chance to test any of you
on these four products. If you wish, make a 15 minute
appointment and we’ll test these four and see if there is a
match for you.
A product we have been
carrying for a while that I really like is an organic coconut
oil from Wilderness Family Naturals. It is very light and a bit
sweet in taste and is outstanding for cooking. Most healthy
cold-pressed oils (including olive oil) really don’t like to be
heated, but coconut oil does. As you would imagine, all coconut
oil is not alike, and this is the best one I have found.
By the way, coconut oil is
well-researched for its health benefits, especially for
supporting sluggish thyroid function, weight loss, and Candida
management. Try it out, and enjoy it with poultry and seafood.
Or, use it to sauté vegetables. Delicious!
SUPPORT FOR MOLD ALLERGIES
We are all suffering from
high levels of mold this year, whether you realize it or not.
Molds make us tired, grumpy
and unable to think! We get depressed and apathetic too. Here
are the remedies and suggestions I have for dealing with this
problem.
First, keep your doors and
windows closed and run your air conditioner enough to keep the
humidity under 60% in your house. (Measure humidity with an
inexpensive hydrometer/thermometer from your hardware store.)
This discourages the outdoor molds from taking hold inside your
home. As always, run your car’s A/C system on “Recirculate” to
reduce the amount of outside air you breathe.
Secondly, take our
homeopathic Mold C drops. Do not take SW Mold Mix at this time
– it is for the molds we usually get in a hot, dry
summer.
Thirdly, I find these
particular molds give me very red, puffy and burning eyes. I
get good results with our Similisan Eye Drops. There are 2
kinds – one for dry, red eyes, and one for burning watery eyes.
Whole Foods and SunHarvest carry these also. And since these
drops are homeopathic, they will not cause problems as
commercial eye drops can.
Finally, I take the
bioflavonoid Quercitin with some Vitamin C throughout the day.
Quercitin is highly effective for allergies and can help with
the sneezing and fatigue from molds (and cedar allergy as
well). We carry these, as do all health food stores.
TWO GREAT CLASSES COMING UP
Hoorah! It’s time to teach
the Basics of Muscle-Response Testing in San Antonio! This
class is so much fun, and gives you immediate tools to use every
day, and for the rest of your life. And yes, you can learn to
do basic muscle-testing in one short class.
There are over 100
different schools and styles of muscle-testing, and it takes a
long time to learn any of these languages in depth. BUT, you
can learn the basics of testing very easily. I will be showing
you some easy techniques on Saturday August 18th from
10 to 3 at the Microtel Inn and Suites at 281North and
Brookhollow Rd. The class is just $50.
On September 8th
and 9th I will again be co-hosting a weekend of
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) with therapist Jayne
Morgan-Kidd. This was a very successful class in May, so we are
repeating it. If you took it before and wish to take it again,
you may do so for half-price. Six CEU’s are given for this
class, so it is great for therapists to take too. Give them one
of our fliers or direct them to my website for information.
I use EFT daily on myself
for a huge variety of physical and mental stressors. I cannot
tell you what a difference it makes for me to have such an easy
tool at my fingertips. Please look at my website at
www.dietandhealthcenter.info for more info on EFT, and a
link to Jayne’s website. You can register online or call the
office. The cost is $125 for Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday 10 to
3.
