March 9, 1997

Hello!

I hope all is well with everyone. I hope and pray that those of you reading this were spared from the recent string of devastating weather that hit parts of the United States recently. Thankfully, all that Atlanta, Georgia received was rain. Lots and lots of rain!

With the spring rain came the spring flowers and things are beginning to look lovely here. Have a healthy and safe spring and we will see you next month.

HEALTH BYTES:

LEAD ALERT -- Exposure to lead can be fatal. Have your health-care provider test your children's blood levels if you live in or regularly visit a house built before 1960; or if you live near an active lead smelter, battery-recycling plant or another industrial operation likely to produce lead waste.

FYI -- Individuals with allergies and asthma who consume 500 mg. of vitamin C daily may experience fewer symptoms.

HEAVY ASPIRIN WARNING -- Heavy, long-term use of over-the-counter pain relievers - such as aspirin and acetaminophen - leads to 8% to 10% of chronic kidney failures. Taking these products only occasionally will help decrease your risk. Regular kidney-function tests are advised if you must take painkillers to control chronic pain.

VITAMIN E & ASPIRIN -- Taking vitamin E supplements with aspirin or other anticoagulant drugs isn't recommended. Compounds in both the supplements and the drugs help thin the blood; taking the two together can thin it too much.

OUCH! -- Back and neck pain can be caused by the way you sleep. You can stress neck ligaments if you sleep on your stomach or on a pile of fluffy pillows. Sleeping on your back or side with one supportive pillow or a neck roll puts less stress on your neck and spine.

DIETING INFO -- When dieting, people tend to eat more carbohydrates because the feeling of fullness they provide doesn't last long. Moderate amounts of protein and fat will keep you satisfied longer. High protein foods to incorporate into your diet include: 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (16 grams of protein); 1 cup yogurt (12 g.); 1/2 cup tofu (10 g.); 1/2 cup kidney beans (8 g.); 1 cup milk (8 g.); 1 oz beef, pork, chicken, fish (7 g.); 1 oz. nuts (6 g.); 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds (6 g.); 1 egg (6 g.); 1 slice of bread (3 g.); 1/2 cup of pasta (3 g.).

GET THE LEAD OUT! -- Faucet manufacturers in the United States have begun to sell lead-free faucets, thanks to the settlement of a recent lawsuit in the San Francisco Superior Court. The suit was prompted by a study indicating that lead levels in faucetry manufactured between 1952 and 1995 exceeded the regulatory limit of 0.5 micrograms a day for lead intake.

A startling amount of lead leached out from tested faucets. Peerless Faucet company tested lowest, at 2.76 micrograms, while Chicago Faucet products released 124.8 micrograms of lead, nearly 250 times the regulatory limit.

How much of a problem can lead ingestion cause? Once taken in, lead builds up in the blood and bones, regardless of a person's age. At remarkable low concentrations, lead can rob children of their ability to read, write and concentrate. In women who have suffered from lead poisoning during pregnancy, lead has been found in the unborn child's bones and blood.

Your best line of defense is to replace all drinking-water faucetry you suspect contains lead, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, ice makers, water dispensers and drinking fountains. If you're not ready for this, you can minimize lead from faucets by allowing water to run five seconds before using it. If the tap hasn't been used for more than six hours, let water run for 15 seconds. And, because hot water dissolves lead more quickly, don't cook with water from the hot tap, draw from the cold tap and heat it.

You can get a list of certified lead-free faucet models by calling 800-673-8010.

FEATURED PRODUCT OF THE MONTH:

FOREVER YOUNG TABLETS

As we all know, exposure to the sun has a disastrous effect on our skin. Pollutants, free radicals within our bodies and the natural aging process can leave our skin lifeless and wrinkled. We want to look and feel the best we possibly can and try to halt the aging process so that we can "grow old gracefully." As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, thins and sags, therefore producing wrinkles.

After years of research, Life Plus has developed a skin care regimen that can help us all age gracefully. One of the key parts of the skin care system is the Forever Young Tablets.

Formulated primarily of concentrated extracts obtained from certain cold water fish, these extracts have been shown to provide special nutrients that not only support both collagen and elastin production in the body, but also help protect the skin from destructive UV light and enzymes.

The nutrients contained in Forever Young Tablets have been proven by years of research to increase the elasticity and thickness of the skin, thus reducing wrinkles. This terrific product helps correct the damage from environmental causes, especially the harmful effects of sunlight. It also counteracts the harm caused by free radicals, the main cause of tissue damage.

Other nutrients included in Forever Young Tablets include rice protein, Norwegian kelp, vitamins A, D-3, E and C, silica and zinc, which all support healthy, youthful skin. These are formulated into Life Plus's PhytoZyme base, which contains a unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of valuable phytonutrients from plants. These allow the body to absorb the nutrients quickly and completely for maximum benefit.

Each bottle of Forever Young Tablets contains 60 tablets. The recommended dosage is one tablet twice a day in the morning and at night. If you have heavily damaged skin, or would like to get the maximum results as quickly as possible, more tablets may be taken. Other Life Plus products within the skin care system include the Emollient Cleanser, Eye Gel, Facial Perfecting Gel, and Day/Night Renewal Complex. Each formulated to help you look your best!

Life Plus Micro-Mins provide the benefits of plant derived colloidal minerals. The value of minerals in the support of good health is becoming more realized by thousands of individuals. Everything on earth, even earth itself, is built on a foundation of minerals. They are part of the structure of our connective and supportive tissues and are components of our hormones and enzymes, which are responsible for our biochemical life.

It is amazing it has taken so long to realize their importance when in U.S. Senate document number 264, published in 1936 stated, "Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon the minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon the precise proportion of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume." Trace minerals are only required in very small amounts, sometimes almost smaller than you can see with the naked eye. But this small quantity should not mean any less importance. A deficiency in any of them can be just as serious as any major mineral deficiency. Nowhere is there a more powerful or effective means of obtaining them than by taking Life Plus Micro-Mins capsules.

Major minerals are required in amounts greater than 100 mg per day, while others are referred to as trace minerals. Our government acknowledges twelve or thirteen minerals necessary for average health and that another eight or ten are possibly needed. One reason many have been overlooked is that they just aren't available from the soils that produce our foods.

Soils provide the minerals necessary for plant development. Plants serve as food for the animals which assimilate them. Then, we eat the meat. The minerals then act as co-vitamins and co-enzymes in our metabolism. At least 84 minerals have been isolated from human tissues and at least 60 are known to function in metabolic reactions. What is happening today, is an awakening as to the importance of minerals in total health. They are actually the foundation of our biochemical life.

TYPES OF MINERALS

Three different types exist, metallic, chelated and colloidal. Metallic minerals are most commonly used in nutritional supplements, especially for the major minerals because larger amounts are indicated. They have the least degree of absorption. Chelated minerals are the next step up the ladder. The metallic mineral is "chelated" with an amino acid. The "mineral chelate" is more bioavailable. Colloidal Minerals occur in nature as small particles that either are or can be easily dispersed in a dispersion medium. Plant Derived Colloidal Minerals provide the best of all worlds because they are colloidal in nature and are associated with natural plant tissues, giving them all of the advantages of chelated minerals and more. Erosion and unwise farming methods have made mineral-rich soil a rare commodity. The result is mineral-deficient plants and livestock, and mineral-deficient people.

ORGANIC HUMIC SHALE

The best quality plant derived colloidal minerals in the world are concentrated from the mineral rich natural organic humic shale in the Rockland Mine. About 75 million years ago, the Earth's mineral-rich soils produced succulent fruits, vegetables and lush forests. The soils contained at least 84 minerals, which is why some experts believe some trees grew ten feet the first year.

Plant and animal life was extremely healthy and it is believed that a major reason is a direct result of the plants' access to at least 77 minerals from the soil. This is a far cry from the number of minerals available from the average soil throughout the world today. As the luscious vegetation died, it accumulated in deposits. It was compressed or compacted so that all of the moisture in it was eliminated. What remains today is a deposit of dried, prehistoric plant derivatives known as organic humic shale.

This organic humic shale contains plant derived hydrophilic minerals which are very small in size when compared to metallic minerals. Because the minerals in humic shale were assimilated by plants, they are naturally incorporated into the tissues of the plant and are more hydrophilic and more readily utilized.
