| Greetings!

This month I wanted to introduce you to a fabulous company called Star Allergy Alerts.
Donna Rendell is the mother of 6 year old Stella, who has life threatening food allergies...
"It became apparent early on that simply telling people about Stella's food allergies was not enough; I needed something for her to wear which was colourful and eye-catching. I was so concerned about keeping her safe, that I dreamt up a range of bright fun allergy alert products for children to wear, to convey the allergy message for both parent and child."
Star Allergy Alerts website was launched online on 1st May 2006, and the range has grown to include over 40 different Badge/Sticker designs, Allergy/Medical Bracelets, Wristbands, T-shirts, EpiPen Pouches, Posters and more...
Star Allergy Alerts main aim is to promote allergy awareness in a fun, child-friendly and practical way.
The alert messages, along with cute characters, warn of the dangers of food & medical allergies that will attract attention wherever the child may be. "The best part is kids love wearing them and they give you peace of mind."
They are perfect for Child Care, Kindy, School, Camps, Parties, Picnics and Play-dates!
Phone orders and enquiries 1800 822 705

I can personally vouch for these great products, I have had the stickers on my son's lunchboxes since 2006 and they have not faded or torn and are so eye catching!

!!! Very Exciting News !!!!
Miss Roben's is back!
After closing down earlier this year, I know many of you were disappointed that you couldn't buy their marvellous products any longer.
Fast forward a few months, and with a new owner on board, Miss Roben's has re-opened bigger and better than ever.
Our first order is in transit and very soon we will be able to supply the ever popular Versatile FreeZ & Chocolate FreeZ ice cream mixes (just in time for summer!) as well as the Hint of Honey cookie mixes. This will be good news for our PKU customers, as these are protein free, as well as allergy friendly. We will continue to expand the range over time. We will send a product update with pricing and order info as soon as we are able to supply, so stay tuned for that.
A large food allergy blog in the US recently featured an interview with Glenn, the new owner of Miss Roben's, if you are interested in taking a look you can click here

Enjoy Life update
The new flavours of cookies and snack bars are flying off the shelves, so I'm glad to see you are enjoying them.
This month we will also be introducing two new cereals from Enjoy Life - Crunchy Rice & Crunchy Flax.
Both are allergy friendly with no nasties, and a very nutritious and delicious way to start your day.
crunchy flax : Crispy, crunchy puffs of rice with ground flaxseed, make for a delicious and nutritious start to your day. Crunchy Flax is 100% natural, sweetened with fruit juice and honey and has 50g of whole grain, 425mg of Omega-3s and 6g of fiber per serving. What's not to love about this cereal?
crunchy rice : Crunchy puffs of rice sweetened with fruit juice and honey - mmmm! Crunchy Rice is 100% natural, low in fat and low in sodium. Enjoy with milk or yogurt (including your favorite non-dairy alternatives), or add to Enjoy Life trail mix for an extra crunch with each bite.
As soon as they have cleared customs and are available to ship we will send you all the details.

Mindd Foundation 
This month I am mentioning the Mindd Foundation for those of you who may not be aware of the fantastic work they are doing.
Mindd Foundation aims to provide families and clinicians with information on cutting edge biomedical and integrative treatments in order to effectively treat the millions of children worldwide who are effected by metabolic, immunologic, neurologic, digestive disorders that often effect the mind (hence Mindd)
These illnesses include ADHD, allergies, asthma, Autism, dyspraxia, dyslexia, learning delay, anxiety, digestive disorders and related neurobiological and auto immune disorders.
They have recently updated their Mindd TV site, which features video clips from doctors and world experts on biomedicine, as well as recovery stories from parents.
The link to Mindd TV is here
I was very honoured to be interviewed by Mindd and my son's recovery from autism journey is featured in the Recovery Stories, see Tim's Story, or you can go directly to his clip by clicking here
Tim is living proof that dietary and biomedical interventions DO work. I would encourage any of you who might know somebody with a child who has autism, ADD, asthma, allergies or learning delays to please have a look at the Mindd website. There are things that can be done and kids can recover.
