A Healing Moment
A Touch of Nature
We've truly been enjoying the weather here in central Virginia. Fall has hit the air and the chilly nights have added a blanket to my side of the bed. The days have been lovely for gardening, but so lovely that we've taken off for the mountains a number of times to enjoy God's gardening.
Let me know if you have any requests for the newsletter. I'll be happy to consider all suggestions.
Till next time,
Randal
HEALTH NEWS AND TIPS
Dogs Used to Detect Cancer
According to a study conducted by researchers at Amersham Hospital in England and reported in the British Medical Journal, dogs with no special training were able to detect the urine specimens that came from bladder cancer patients when placed alongside specimens from healthy patients. Their combined success rate was calculated at more than twice that of random selection. The dogs that were most successful were three-and-a-half times more likely to correctly identify samples from bladder cancer subjects than random choice.
Perhaps the most astounding outcome of the study involved a sample provided by a subject that tested negative for cancer on multiple evaluations. All of the dogs selected this person’s sample as positive for cancer. As a result, doctors conducted further tests and were able to locate a previously unnoticed life-threatening kidney tumor.
The issue under investigation now is how to implement a system that incorporates this amazing canine ability.

Lift Your Spirits with Lemon Essential Oil
During long voyages, seafaring men often found themselves seized by a debilitating illness they called “scurvy.” It was a most unpleasant and sometimes fatal condition. Symptoms ranged from spongy gums and loosened teeth to bleeding in the soft tissues. Random experimentation by these world travelers uncovered a simple remedy. The ingestion of citrus fruits, mainly limes and lemons, proved to be a miracle cure. Just like the sailors of old, you too can tap into the miraculous revitalizing power of citrus with Lemon Essential Oil.
For many of us, the color and fragrance of a lemon bring to mind freshness and vitality. While the uses of lemon and lemon juice are countless and varied, perhaps the strongest effect Lemon Essential Oil has to offer is that of lifting our spirits, particularly when we face mental fatigue.
Lemon Essential Oil helps the body face physical and psychological weariness, most strongly influencing the mind by supporting concentration and the ability to memorize. In Japan, a test showed a 54 percent decrease in typing mistakes when lemon oil was diffused into an office area. If your concentration needs a lift, order a bottle of Nature's Sunshine Lemon Essential Oil at the link below.
The Essential Facts
Lemon Essential Oil is a powerful antiseptic. Not only has it been used to clean contaminated surfaces, such as a butcher’s cutting block, but it has a powerful antibacterial and antiviral effect attributable to its limonene content.
Lemon Essential Oil also contains antifungal compounds. Some people have even used lemon to disinfect questionable drinking water. Because of its vitamin content, Lemon Essential Oil offers strong support to the immune system.
Rather than exhibit an extreme acidic quality, Lemon Essential Oil works as an excellent stabilizer of the body’s acidity-alkalinity content. Its astringent qualities make lemon oil useful in the home for many conditions, including insect bites, fever and skin conditions.
The Acid Test
Make sure your essential oils are pure. We use and sell Nature's Sunshine Lemon Essential Oil. It is certified organic and cold-pressed from lemon rind. Extracting this precious substance from the lemon peel is costly and time-consuming. The peels of about 1,500 lemons are required to produce one pound of lemon oil. In our competitive market, some companies may be tempted to add synthetic ingredients to their lemon oil, such as those created to approximate a lemon scent in commercial detergents and soaps, but that won't happen with Nature's Sunshine. Purchase 100% Pure Lemon Essential Oil

Bladder Spasms - Customer Success Story
"Can I tell you how much better my bones and bladder feel? I had a real scare a month ago and thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I never told anyone, just took like 30 Horsetail and Cornsilk a day for a week and it got better, but I was in horrible pain. I knew it was self-inflicted and I thought to myself, "well, you can keep this up and end up at a urologist one day where they have to do surgery to your bladder or put you on drugs for the spasms, or ... you can take care of yourself." I decided I liked the latter. I want to go through my whole life without having to have surgery on anything...smart choice eh? I have lost 10 lbs in one month by leaving off pop, coffee and desserts.
I wake up with energy, instead of that horrible fog and I can urinate again. How nice. My biggest help was when Louise gave me a program when we were in Charleston and Horsetail and Cornsilk are what really works. I have to take a lot, about 10 a day for maintenance, but I have long pretty nails and my bones like it too. Isn't it nice getting those side-effects that are great instead of those that are awful from drugs?"

NUTRITION IS A CHOICE
Nutrition Journal Hid Contributors Ties to Food Industry
Supplement Published in Journal of the American College of Nutrition Pooh-Poohs Salt Intake Recommendations
WASHINGTON A nutrition journal published by the American College of Nutrition failed to tell readers that a special supplement on salt intake was written and edited by consultants to the salt industry. The editors also failed to inform the National Library of Medicine (NLM), which included the abstracts from the supplement in MEDLINE. NLM rules state MEDLINE will not carry abstracts from sponsored supplements unless conflict-of-interest disclosure statements are prominently featured in the supplement.
This blatant failure by the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (JACN) to adhere to its own conflict of interest disclosure policies and federal guidelines was revealed in Integrity in Science Watch, a weekly alert from the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).
The "guest editor" of a June supplement in JACN that focused on sodium and human health was Dr. Alexander G. Logan, a paid consultant to the salt industry. He also serves as scientific advisor to the sodium committee of the industry-backed International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), which funded the supplement. The regular editors of JACN also allowed ILSI's sodium committee, which includes Frito-Lay, Heinz, Kraft, and Proctor & Gamble, to name Logan to edit the special supplement. This fact was not revealed to readers.
No articles in the supplement, most of which downplayed

Nutritious Eating
According to a recent article I just read on nutrition, they said eating right doesn't have to be complicated. Nutritionists say there is a simple way to tell if you're eating right. Colors. Fill your plates with bright colors. Greens, reds, yellows.
In fact, I did that this morning. I had an entire bowl of M&M's. It was delicious! I never knew eating right could be so easy.
I now have a whole new outlook on life.
