**DONNA'S COMMENTS**
Thank you for the comments and emails about the book "A More Excellent Way." Your encouragement has truly blessed my heart.
It's already May. Happy May Day! The fine Spring weather we've been having in Alabama has been wonderful. I've taken advantage of the hammock in our back woods on many balmy and breezy days. Watching the leaves dance to the "tune" of the wind is incredible when you're looking up from beneath the branches. Your mind opens up when you gaze into a vast beautiful blue sky. As the clouds pass by you can almost transmit your troubles to them for transport out of this universe.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to ship daily cares away at the end of each day....not to be remembered or worried about ever again? I believe there is a way to accomplish it......and I'm planning on discovering the answer during one of those afternoons in the hammock.
It's a sure motivation for getting your work done fast. That's the way the days were when I grew up in the 50's. People got their work done and then they relaxed and visited with one another. That's a missing link in our society today....relationships and taking time for them.
Have a great week - schedule some pondering time!
Donna

LAVENDER OIL
A well-loved aromatic herb that is used for relaxation and to induce sleep. If you've ever seen (or smelled) an aromatherapy eye pillow, it was most likely filled with Lavender. Essential oil of Lavender can be diluted and rubbed on the skin to relax muscles. Adding a few drops of Lavender Oil in a hot bath before bed can help you fall asleep easier and sleep more deeply. Massaging a little of the diluted oil onto your temples can even relieve headaches. For me, the smell alone makes it a number one stress buster! http://www.theherbsplace.com/Lavender_Fine_AOC_100_Pure_Essential_Oil_p_35.html
Be sure you're buying the REAL lavender. Read this article to understand:

FISH OIL MAY EASE DEPRESSION
(ABC News)
A recent study has found more to cheer about. Researchers at Harvard University's McLean Hospital studied 30 patients with bipolar disorders, characterized by chronic bouts of mania and depression. Half of the patients received fish oil supplements, and half received a placebo. It was found that the fish oil patients showed marked improvements over a four-month period. Lead researcher Andrew Stoll speculates that the omega-3 EFAs in the fish oil are able to block the abnormal signals in the brain that are suspected to be present in bipolar disorders. While the study was small, it has been hailed as a landmark for its investigation into the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on the brain. Unfortunately, it seems doubtful that any drug company will fund fish oil studies, as natural products can't be patented and so won't bring in profits.
Read the details on the story.

MAGNESIUM
This is a critical mineral because it is becoming more and more evident that deficiencies are high on this one. It was assumed that we should balance the ratio of magnesium to calcium with calcium being twice as much as magnesium. Recent research has shown that it should be equal. Some of the deficiency symptoms of magnesium are: twitching (eyes, or muscles on arms and legs), chewing on things (pencils, must have gum or hard candy), restless sleep, waking up about 2-3 am and not being able to go back to sleep, bruxism (grinding teeth), and irritability.

FLUORIDE
Fluoride is a cumulative poison and while the body excretes about 50% of the fluoride we ingest, the rest is stored, mainly in the bones. Less than 2% of Europe's population now has fluoridated water.
Sweden and West Germany
in 1971, Norway in 1975, Holland in 1976 and Denmark in 1977 banned fluoride. France rejected fluoridation in 1980. In the UK, 10% of the people still have fluoridated water.
The warning you read on an American toothpaste tube has been a legal requirement since 1997, but despite the results of recent worldwide trials, showing no significant difference in tooth decay between children living in fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities, more than 90% of us still use fluoride toothpaste.
Since 1990, there have also been numerous large-scale studies reporting a link between fluoride intake and hip fractures, with some showing an 87% increase among elderly populations. Skeletal fluorosis is said to be a serious risk in people who have ingested 10-20 mg of fluoride per day for 10 to 20 years.
Your gums absorb 90% of what you put on them. Consider a natural toothpaste that will provide nutrients you need for strong teeth:

**SUCCESS STORIES**
ENVIRONMENTALLY-SAFE CLEANING
"It's warm and springy and I was again reminded of the wonderful outdoor uses of Sunshine Concentrate. I spent the afternoon cleaning up my lawn furniture which was effortless with a bucketful of water mixed with Sunshine Concentrate. Everything comes off so easily and I am not concerned about hurting the environment. Then it was car wash time. Did you know that a dot of Sunshine Concentrate on a bug or tar spot just nearly lifts right off? Hardly any scrubbing involved. Thanks Nature's Sunshine for a great product!" Robin

**PRODUCT FOCUS**
CELLU-SMOOTH
80% of women suffer the social distress of having cellulite - unsightly fat deposits that cause areas of the skin to look like cottage cheese. As people age, tissues in certain parts of the body break down. Poor microcirculation in these areas damages fatty tissue, and blood and lymphatic vessel walls become more permeable. These vessels leak fluid into surrounding tissues, causing congestion and swelling. This prevents nutrients like oxygen from being carried to the tissue, hindering the drainage of toxins. Poor elimination of toxins, especially in the lymphatic system, can cause scaring and stretch marks as fat cells become trapped.
Cellu-Smooth's nutrients are combined to increase circulation, mobilize fat and lymph stores for breakdown, and protect against free radical damage to structural skin proteins.

CALCIUM PLUS
Derived from bone meal and combined with other trace minerals needed, NSP's Calcium Plus more easily enters the body to help replenish bone tissue that is constantly being replaced.
This formula also contains phosphorus, the second most abundant mineral in the body. It works with calcium at a 2:1 ratio of calcium/phosphorus. Without this important ratio the body begins to lose one or more minerals before they can be utilized. (Note: that's one of the reasons some people have tried other calcium and not gotten any results)
Calcium is also needed by the immune system and is critical to muscle contractions.
Phosphorus works with B Vitamins to help maintain proper fluid balance in the body.
Magnesium, also included, assists in calcium's proper function, and Vitamin D is added to assist calcium in doing its job.

**FUNNY OF THE DAY**
Laughter is Good Medicine!
A woman went to doctors office. She was seen by one of the new doctors, but after about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped and asked her what the problem was, and she explained. He had her sit down and relax in another room.
The older doctor marched back to the first and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was *pregnant*?" The new doctor smiled smugly as he continued to write on his clipboard. "Cured her hiccups though, didn't I?"
