**SUCCESS STORIES**

APPETITE & WEIGHT LOSS

"After only one day of FOOD ENZYMES, I can't believe how much
better I feel. I have desired so much less food today. I had a
couple slices of toast for lunch and was totally satisfied. I
made bread pudding today and had a small amount for supper and am
not hungry at all. No burping either! So, it seems I've hit upon
something to cut my appetite so I can eat less and assimilate it
better, which should get some of this weight off. Thanks for
explaining the connection between digesting food and cutting
appetite." R.S.

GASTRO-INTESTINAL BLEED

"I thought I would write and give you an experience I had with
LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL. Two weeks ago I had an upper GI bleed. I
really lost a lot of blood and felt very week and woozy. I took
SLIPPERY ELM and also took the last of the NSP Chlorophyll that I
had that night. It was Saturday night and I hate the emergency
room, so I felt I could take care of it. I got HP Fighter the
next day and started on it, and drinking 1 quart of fresh cabbage
juice a day that my dear Floyd fixed for me. When Monday came I
could not see my doctor, because he was not in the office. I have
problems with doctors and decided to wait for him, which ended up
being a week. I got another quart of Liquid Chlorophyll and began
taking a lot (probably an ounce or more in water about 5 times a
day at least). Within 24 hours I felt stronger, and every day
felt better. I also used CHAMOMILE tea, GINGER tea, H-p FIGHTER,
and the cabbage juice. When I did see the Dr. I told him
everything I'd taken. He said it is working, because when he
pressed my stomach it did not hurt. He didn't give me any
medicine or make me go through heavy testing. He did a blood
test, and when we got the results my hemoglobin was 14, lowest
accepted normal is 12.5 according to my lab sheet. In l997 mine
was 15. When the nurse told me, she said he said everything looks
good, and to remember what I did and keep doing it. He told me I
was braver than he, since he would've put me in the hospital had
he been here. It made me feel really good that I was able to take
care of such a serious problem. Also made me appreciate you folks
for helping me with my herbal education. Thanks again. You may
use this experience if you like." S. C.

**HERBS IN THE NEWS**

GRAPE SEED EXTRACT

Shown to reduce cancer cell growth rate-A study performed by a
team of scientists from Creighton University, the University of
Nebraska, Omaha and Georgetown University Medical Center found
that an antioxidant derived from grape seeds, inhibits or kills
human cancer cells at least in the test tubes. Cultures of human
breast, lung and stomach cancer cells were exposed to 25 mg/1 and
50mg/1 concentrations for 72 hours resulted in cell growth rate
drops of between 37 and 48%. (Nutritional Outlook, June/July
1998)

**HERBS FOR PETS**

TICK ON CAT
"I live in the woods and give my dog TEA TREE OIL baths and
spritz some on a comb and apply to my cats to avoid fleas. I've
never had to deal with a flea problem (I also use natural food
and LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL in their water so their bloodstreams don't
get toxic and attract the fleas).

I was surprised to find a tick on one of my cats. I knew TEA
TREE OIL was supposed to kill them so I put a drop on and waited.
It was big and tough and not letting go, so I put another drop on
and waited. After about 15 minutes I was able to pull him out
dead. Then I used GOLDEN SALVE to heal the wound since it was
swollen and had quite a hole from the tick. It's sure nice to
have herbs on hand to help my animals when I need it!" R.S.

CYSTITIS
"I awoke to find our cat leaving bloody drops of urine every
where. I began JP-X hourly through that day until she was going
freely without blood. The next day she slept a lot. I gave her
1-2x/day for a week. No antibiotics! How wonderful!" D.W.

**HEALTH IN THE NEWS**

59 DIFFERENT HORMONES NATURALLY IN COW'S MILK
Each sip of milk provides you with:

Steroid hormones (Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone,
17- Ketosteroids, Corticosterone, Vitamine D)

Pituitary hormones (PRL, GH, TSH, FSH, LH ACTH Oxytocin)

Hypothalamic hormones (TRH, LHRH, Somatostatin, PRL-inhibiting
factor, PRL- releasing factor, GnRH, GRH)

Thyroid and Parathyroid hormones (T3, T4, rT3, Calcitonin,
Parathormone, PTH peptide) gastrointestinal peptides (Vasoactive
intestinal peptide, Bombesin, Cholecystokinin, Gastrin, Gastrin
inhibitory peptide, Pancreatic peptide, Y peptide, Substance P
and Neurotensin)

Growth Factors (IGF's (I and II), IGF binding proteins, Nerve
growth factor, Epidermal growth factor and TGF alpha, TGF beta,
Growth Inhibitors MDGI and MAF, and Platelet derived growth
factor

Others... PGE, PGF2 alpha, cAMP, cGMP, Delta sleep inducing
peptide, Transferrin, Lactoferrin, Casomorphin and Erythropoietin

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED MILK CONTAINS INCREASED LEVELS OF
NATURALLY OCCURRING GROWTH HORMONES

IGF-I

Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) is identical between humans
and cows. This powerful growth hormone (the most powerful in the
human body) has 70 amino acids in the same exact gene sequence in
both humans and cows. Like a key fitting into a lock, this
hormone exerts powerful growth effects on humans and has been
called the key factor in the growth and proliferation of
childhood cancers.

FDA ADMITS THE MILK IS DIFFERENT

When cows are injected with the genetically engineered bovine
growth hormone (BGH/BST), levels of IGF-I in milk always
increase. FDA published this admission in the August 24, 1990
issue of SCIENCE (Juskevich and Guyer).

MILK HORMONES FOR OUR CHILDREN

In Japan, every year since 1946, tens-of thousands of persons are
interviewed and their diets carefully analyzed along with their
weights and heights and other factors such as cancer rates and
age of puberty (the last measured by the onset of menstruation in
young girls). This study includes detailed personal interviews
and is well respected and accepted by scientists. In 1975, 21,707
persons from 6,093 households were included in the sampling. The
results of the study were published in a respected scientific
journal, PREVENTIVE MEDICINE (Yasuo Kagawa, Department of
Biochemistry, Jichi Medical School, Japan, 7, 205-217, 1978).

HOW MILK CHANGED JAPANESE CHILDREN

Japan had been devastated by losing a war and was occupied by
American troops. Americanization included dietary changes. Milk
and dairy products, relatively unknown to Japan, were becoming a
significant part of the Japanese diet. According to this study,
the per-capita yearly dietary intake of dairy products in 1950
was only 5.5 pounds. Twenty- five years later, the average
Japanese ate 117.4 pounds of milk and dairy products. The
consumption of milk and dairy products (containing powerful
growth hormones) represented the biggest dietary change for the
Japanese people.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHILDREN?

What happened to young girls and the impact of milk consumption
on puberty is even more dramatic. In 1950 the average twelve-year
old girl was 4'6" tall and weighed 71 pounds. By 1975 the average
Japanese girl, after guzzling a daily diet of milk and dairy
products containing 59 different bioactive hormones, had grown an
average of 4 1/2 inches and gained 19 pounds. In 1950 the average
Japanese girl had her first menstrual cycle at the age of 15.2
years. Twenty five years later, after a daily intake of estrogen
and progesterone from milk, the average Japanese girl was
ovulating at the age of 12.2 years, three years younger.

Never before had such a dramatic dietary change been seen in such
a unique population study.

**FEATURED RECIPES**

LEMON CUPS
(From the Cookbook: The Raw Gourmet)

2 cups very finely grated carrots
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or walnut oil
Stevia or maple syrup (optional)
4 lemon halves, after juicing

How can anything this simple taste so good? These adorable
stuffed lemons are a great side dish with a main course of
sprouted sunflower pate. Use more lemon if you like, and if it is
too tart for you, add a touch of maple syrup or stevia.

The recipe works best when the carrots are grated very fine. Use
whatever grating method you have that will give the best results.
A heavy-duty juicer without a screen makes the finest grate but
be sure to exercise extreme caution while using it, and keep
children out of the way. Do not leave the machine set up without
a screen in it.

In a small mixing bowl, toss the carrots, lemon juice, zest, and
oil. Taste. Sweeten if desired with maple syrup or stevia. Fill
the lemon halves with the carrot mixture. Serves four.

**MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT**

Thoughts lead on to purposes;
purposes go forth in action;
action forms habits;
habits decide character;
and character fixes our destiny.

**FUNNY OF THE DAY**

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination
and he looked at the old pages as he turned them. Then something
fell out of the Bible and he picked it up and looked at it
closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that has been pressed in
between pages.

"Momma, look what I found," the boy called out.

"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.

With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered: "I think
it's Adam's suit!"
