Stomachdiscomort

Real lie storyGone!Traditin mts Kiwi ingnityIhave suered rom stomach issues and acid burn-ing my oesophagus or years, since my early twen-ties. I have been prescribed various treatmentsover the years, I could probably write a book about it.At age 56 my doctor advised me get this handled or

you are heading or a bout o oesophageal cancer.My doctors only advice at that point was to loose 15pounds and go ride a bike. I was mortied.

Being somewhat computer literate, I researchedthe problem and became more and more inormedon the subject. I read published studies that showedpharmaceutical treatments caused signicant longterm damage. The medications aect the bodysability to absorb calcium. With less calcium beingabsorbed rom the diet the body takes calcium romthe bones and teeth to meet its needs. I also read a

study reporting that women taking these medica-tions or more than a year were experiencing 10-40% bone density loss and have 52% more chanceo hip ractures. I was adamant not to continue downthis path.

From my inquiries I learnt that many people su-ering rom the same symptoms as me had successwith using apple cider vinegar (ACV). So I tried it.

The ACV produced startling results: rst, itnearly choked me, (I later learned this is a naturaldeense mechanism o the throat, called gag reex).

Then I started throwing up more ACV than Iwas keeping down as I developed an aversion to thesmell and taste. I had to nd a better solution.

Mixing the ACV with water seemed to helpsomewhat but it was not giving me much benet.Being a Kiwi, I was well aware o the healing proper-ties o manuka honey so I added it to the ACV. The

avour was more pleasant and it meant I was gettingextra health benets, but overall taste and smellwere still a problem.

I then looked or ways to resolve the GAGREFLEX. Ater much experimentation, I ound anacceptable solution that I called the gag reex

buering system. The incidence o burning stoppedimmediately, literally, that night.In August, 2009 I led a patent application or

this system with the US Patent Oce. It could havebeen rejected, had they thought it was withoutmerit, but it was accepted.

During this same period, I was improving theormula - I learned more about manuka honey andswapped the table grade version with high qualitymedical grade 16+ sourced rom Northland. Testingmy concoction on riends and relatives, I realised that

the ormula was instantly eective, and some olkscould go several days, even weeks, without takinganother dose. Others had to take it once beorebed each night to maintain positive results. I calledit Nutralize - it was so eective at neutralizing thesymptoms.

All the ingredients I use are natural and sourcedrom NZ, including the uniquely designed bottles,the apples or the cider and the medical grademanuka honey.

Toilettraining!It seems that toilet jokes are a

source o amusement no matter in

what language they are told. However,

regularity and healthy bowel motions

are o grave importance and i

things are not quite right at that

end, the whole body will

be aected.

Proper bowel unction is an

essential prerequisite orstaying healthy. The sewersystem must work properly or thebody remains soaking in its ownputrid waste. When the bodyssewer system backs up, every celleels the result in the orm o anencumbering accumulation otoxic waste.

According to Bernard Jensenthe oreather o naturopathy,

ood was meant to pass throughthe body between 8-18 hoursater its ingestion. This means thatat least one well ormed bowelmotion needs to occur at leastonce daily.1

Constipation is so commonin our Western society, or somethe constipation-laxative cycle is

just part o a normal daily routine.At the source o all these troubles

is a mismanaged dietary intakelow in bre and water combinedwith a sedentary liestyle.

Herbs can be o assistancewhen things are just not owing.

1. Bnd Jnn. Iridology, 1982.

These can be gently eective

without the side eects o chemi-cal laxatives.Natures Way Triphala is

a bowel mobiliser so gentle itcan be used on a daily basis. Itsan internal purier and can helpclear congestion. A common olksaying in India says No mother?Do not worry so long as you have

Triphala. Thats because NaturesWay Triphala can care or the

internal organs o the body as amother cares or her children.

The Natures Way DailyCleanse provides not one but sixdierent sources o bre togetherwith liver supporting herbs toensure regular toilet visits. With noarticial sweeteners, Daily Cleanseis a wholesome way to boost breintake.

I all has been done but to

no avail, Natures Way Naturalax2 is the way to go it can givethat much needed extra push, thenatural way.

Degenerative colon conditions

are rapidly gaining in requencyand severity in our Western soci-

Keeping the large bowel healthy

is a no brainer eating high breoods and maintaining healthybowel ora by taking high grade

probiotics such as Natures WayPrimadophilus Bifdus are good

ad or fction?

The answer to this is neither.

More likely is that it is onlyin recent times that we havehad adequate testing methodsto diagnose these intolerances,thereore previous gluten anddairy intolerances may not havebeen correctly diagnosed.

It is also likely that theprocessing o our oods has beenso drastically altered in the last50 years that we are now eating

cereal grains and milk productsthat are highly processed andlaced with preservatives, antibiot-ics, sprays and all manner o otherchemicals. These extra ingredi-ents and alteration o the originaloods to their processed orm hasnot only removed much o the

nutrition, but has supplied us with

anti-nutrients that may eventuallyeect the digestive tract.So, it may not be so appropri-

ate to sco at those who take thegluten-ree ca options, as glutenand dairy intolerance seems to behere to stay.

To ease the suering o thoseexperiencing intolerances orwho have coeliac disease (wheregluten causes permanent damage

to the digestive tract) Radiancehas a range o products that sup-ply the much needed enzymes todigest these oods.

Radiance Digest Dairy is aunique enzyme digestive ormula

which targets dairy sugar, dairyprotein and dairy at, all o whichmay contribute to dairy or lactoseintolerance. So, i you know that

you are prone to some o thesymptoms o dairy intolerancesuch as bloating, cramping, gasand diarrhoea, keep RadianceDigest Dairy within hands reach.Useul or those times when youare eating out or at riends andnot in ull control o your diet anddo not want to suer the conse-quences o some dairy sneakingonto your plate.

Rd D glu isa patented active enzyme blendto help break apart those dicultto digest gluten proteins calledgliadins. Signs o gluten digest-ing issues appear in many waysother than the expected diges-tive complaints such as bloating,diarrhoea, constipation or reux.It is equally possible that the skin

and brain will be aected causingeczema, dermatitis or itchy skin,maybe even irritability, tiredness,headaches, poor concentrationand behaviour disorders.

Wouldnt it be nice to avoidsome o that! Simply take onecapsule o Radiance DigestGluten with each meal containinggluten grains and keep that smileon your ace or the remainder o

the day!Manage your intolerances

wisely by keeping yoursel pre-pared or all culinary moments.Radiance makes this easy withRadiance Digest Dairy and Radi-ance Digest Gluten.

IntolerancesFood

It seems that the latest trend is to have anintolerance. Gluten-ree bakeries are popping up

in all the well-to-do parts o town, oering treats

made rom gluten ree, dairy ree, egg ree, vegan

ingredients. Is this a new phenomenon or a fgment

o the trendy sets imagination?

One o these is the importanceo maintaining a healthy

and balanced diet (with the oddood craving thrown into the mix)while pregnant and breast eed-ing. As the daily menu becomesrestricted and limited, not only byolactory and palatability limita-tions but also due to strict dietaryinstructions rom midwives anddoctors, dietary supplements can

come in handy.First in line is a high qual-ity multi vitamin, specicallydesigned or pregnant mothers.Radiance Multi or Pregnancyor example can help mums-to-bekeep on top o things with theadded bonus o giving baby allthe basic nutrients it needs orhealthy development. It is alsoa suitable product to take while

breast eeding or even at thepreconception stage. Multi orPregnancy contains the non-con-stipating iron bisglycinate and isin easy to swallow capsules. Somemothers, especially those that eeltired through the day, top up withsome B vitamins such as Radi- Vm B100 cmlxand extra power naps and lightexercise every day.

Second in line are thepolyunsaturated atty acids (LC-PUFAs). Some mothers may not beaware o how crucial these attyacids are or healthy brain devel-opment, hand-eye coordination,vocabulary and nervous system

development in the oetus. Adeciency in these atty acids hasalso been linked with pregnantmothers developing baby brainor the baby blues ater delivery.

The most studied source o theseatty acids that has shown themost signicant results withregard to oetus health is DHA(dihexapenthanoic acid) a com-ponent o sh oil. Research has

shown that when this atty acidis taken by a pregnant mother, ithelps develop the ull potential obabies while still in the womb.1

With mothers being ore-warned against eating seaoodand sh while pregnant, a saeway to get these importantnutrients is through dietarysupplements that have beenpuried and tested. A high qual-

One stand-out vitaminthat New Zealanders do notget enough o over the winter(or summer or that matter) isvitamin D. Huddling indoorsand a widespread misbelie thatthe sun is bad or you, even in

the natural way tohealthy serotonin levels

Levels o serotonin in the bodycan be aected by increasedlevels o stress, lack o sleep, lacko exercise, reduced exposure tosunlight and excessive alcoholand caeine consumption.

The body requires tryp-tophan, vitamin B6, vitamin C andmagnesium or serotonin synthe-sis and a dietary deciency in anyo these nutrients may also lead tolowered serotonin levels.

When the serotonin levelsdrop to an unhealthy level, a vari-ety o symptoms can appear; themost common symptoms includedepression and anxiety, eelings o

atigue, insomnia, impaired cogni-tive unction, decreased interestin regular activities and severelylowered levels o sel-esteem.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the immediate precursorto serotonin and may help sup-port healthy serotonin levels inthe case o a deciency.

Why I choose thermography tomonitor my breast health

Allison Roe

Breast thermography offers women another tool for monitoring their breast

health. Its completely safe, radiation-free, and doesnt require your breasts to

be compressed (or even touched). Best of all, it can identify changes to breast

health before they become visible through other methods of testing.
