Food for Thought: Knowledge Is Power
Take the time to gather information, or ask for assistance, when considering any product, service, or treatment. Do not rely upon marketing and advertising which is designed to sell rather than inform.
Research varied sources of information. Everyone is limited to their area of study and the extent to which they remain current in their fields as well as related fields. We are further limited by our experience, personal beliefs, and motives. It is equally important to find out where these sources obtained their information and whom they consider to be reliable.
Consider why so much time and money is invested in developing artificial and synthetic versions of existing, inexpensive, natural substances. Natural therapies cannot be patented. Many pharmaceutical drugs are modeled after molecules found in nature, and then rearranged in order to acquire a patent.
Educate yourself on the process of FDA drug approval as well as who benefits. Why are so many pharmaceutical drugs approved in spite of numerous risks and side effects while caution is often advised for natural substances (even those made by the body) with no known adverse reactions?
Check the statistics. What are the number of deaths and illness as the result of adverse reactions to pharmaceutical prescription drugs compared to that of herbal and nutritional supplements.
Consider why the FDA regulates the "health claims" of natural therapies even if supported by scientific and/or medical research. Why are we denied the right to information and the right to make our own choices? |

| Dear Friends,
Denise and I enjoyed seeing so many of you in February for our Customer Appreciation Month (20% off your entire purchase). It was a wonderful opportunity to thank you for your business and all the ways in which you contribute through the sharing of information and experiences. It truly is a community effort, and we feel blessed to be able to provide a nurturing environment in which this exchange can take place.
Our information center and lending library (located upstairs) are up and running as is our new electronic communication system, which is a work in progress as we try to learn how to use it! We have hosted a number of wonderful private events allowing various groups to experience well-being through a variety of stations for pampering and informative presentations. If you have a group of 15 or more and would like to get together for an after hours event and/or shopping, call for details to see how we can tailor these events to meet your needs. In addition, we are planning more FREE mini workshops and renting our upstairs space so others can share their services and knowledge in more depth. Looking for such a space? Call us to reserve your spot on the calendar. Below are a list of events open to the public in June!
Tuesday, June 9th, 6:30-7:30 p.m.: Essential Oil Therapies for Healing presented by Amy Jane Stewart, B.S. and Certified Holistic Aromatherapist. Learn more about Amy at www.organicajane.com. No cost, but pre-registration is required. Call The Pitcher of Health at 218-0580 to register.

Health & Well-Being: Strengthening Your Immune System
Our bodies have an innate immune system and are designed to self-heal. If you are experiencing poor health, concentrate on strengthening the immune system and correcting deficiencies rather than focusing on the problem, so you can create an environment that does not attract or support disease. My research uncovered a number of natural therapies that can support the body's ability to heal itself, many of which have fascinating histories. Below are those that had the most scientific and clinical research. Remember, natural therapies cannot be patented nor can they make specific claims that are not FDA approved, regardless of evidence supporting them. They are limited to such phrases as "immune boosting properties, aids in healthy immune response, or helps regulate normal cell replication". Therefore, take the time to conduct your own research so you can learn specifically how they may contribute to prevention and healing.
Seventy percent of immunity takes place in the gut. Daily Probiotics promote a healthy immune function and increase resistance to infection, viruses, parasites, bacteria and yeasts. Enzymes break down the protein coating of viruses or protein that doesn't belong. Balanced pH levels provide the necessary acid for the immune system without creating an overly acidic environment in which infection and chronic diseases thrive. One of the fastest ways to release natural healing in our body is by achieving and maintaining proper pH balance.
Vitamin D3 is now believed to be one of the most essential vitamins for overall health. Scientists at leading universities are discovering its importance in fighting viral respiratory infections, maintaining heart and circulatory health, guarding cognitive and mood health, as well as bone and joint health.
Cat's Claw is an immune boosting herb that has a number of reported benefits including an increase of killer T-Cells. Choose one that says TOA (tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids).
Essiac is a non-toxic herbal formula made up of Cat's Claw, Water Cress, Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slippery Elm Bark, and Turkey Rhubarb Root. Do not accept substitutions. Studies indicate its ability to enhance the immune system and aid the body in overcoming disease. This product has an extremely interesting history, including 40 years of research by Rene M. Caisse and 10 years of research by Dr. Charles A. Brusch (personal physician to President J.F. Kennedy).
Colloidal Silver is a natural substance containing sub microscopic clusters of silver. Studies report that disease causing organisms and viruses can not live in the presence of simple silver. It is non-toxic with no known side effects or drug interactions. The studies and FDA rulings are interesting and worth researching.
Herbal Aloe Force contains 96% Cold-Processed Whole Leaf Aloe Vera, 4% Essiac Herbs, and 2 ppm Colloidal Silver. It is has no known side effects. Research documents it's numerous beneficial properties in regards to pathogenic bacteria, viruses, yeast, growths, abnormal cells, and toxins.
Curcumin is a natural ingredient found in turmeric or curry. Medical studies indicate that it can aid in the destruction of abnormal cells.
AHCC is a unique, non-toxic hybridization of several medicinal mushrooms known for their immune enhancing abilities. Studies report that it stimulates the body's natural defense system and is a powerful aid in fighting viruses, infectious diseases, bacteria, abnormal cells and other chronic conditions. New Chapter's Host Defense has a similar blend of these medicinal mushrooms. These are well worth your time to research as everywhere, but the U.S. due to FDA controls, refers to the specific benefits of these mushrooms based upon scientific research.
Inositol (vitamin B group) and IP-6 (a natural substance found in rice bran extract) used in combination have powerful effects on the immune system and abnormal cells. It is inexpensive and non-toxic. Enzymatic Therapy's Inositol and IP-6 combination formula also includes Cat's Claw.
Ave is a fermented wheat germ well documented to promote immune system health and natural killer cells. It is well worth the time to investigate, particularly for those with more challenging immunity problems. |

Unique Jewelry by Debra A. Jacobson. Her work depicts her love of the many cultures, with a focus on the primitive and simplicity of nature. Components in her jewelry range from ancient African headdress beads and Indian and Tibetan treasures to one-of-a-kind pieces from Israel and abroad. Much of her design style speaks to the asymmetry of nature's art and the beauty of the unique and unexpected. |
