A NOTE FROM DONNA

My birthday is on Monday and I'm turning 51 I look for all the adventure I
can get in life, so we're going whitewater rafting in West Virginia.
Neither of us has ever been. We're going with our neighbors who have never
been either. My only prayer is to stay in the raft, although it will be
plenty wet and cold there also! LOL

We're also going to be spending some time in the Monongahela National
Forest. The views should be incredible. If you remember, John Denver said
it was "almost Heaven" in West Virginia. Since it's called The Mountain
State, we expect lots of beauty.

We leave early in the morning, so that's why this is coming out a day
early..
If you're reading this prior to 10 AM Sunday, Eastern Standard Time, please
send up a prayer for us all to stay in the raft! :-)

Have a GREAT Holiday Weekend and don't forget to enter the last contest for
our summer promotion (see below)!

HERB/VITAMIN NEWS

NONI JUICE - AMAZING STUFF!

Research indicates that Noni stimulates the immune system, regulating cell
function and cellular regeneration of damaged cells. The fact that Noni
seems to operate on the very basic and critical cellular level may explain
why it is useful for a wide variety of conditions.

Noni is a fruit about the size of a potato and has nodules similar to those
you see on a pineapple. It grows in abundance on the Morinda Citrifolia tree
in the Tahitian Islands and has only been available to the public for the
last two years. It has been successfully used for over 2,000 years in
Polynesia, China, India and elsewhere.

Like Aloe Vera, Kelp, Papaya, Grape Seed Extract and other botanicals, the
extract of the Noni plant has been demonstrated to improve a wide variety of
health conditions. Noni is invaluable as a healing herb because of the
following functions:

* Lowers high blood pressure

* Works with melatonin and serotonin to help regulate sleep, temperature
and mood cycles

* Increases body energy

* Acts as anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic agent

* Alleviates pain

* Has antibacterial properties that can protect against digestive and heart
damage

* Inhibits growth of cancer tumors

HEALTH TIPS

WATER: THIRST QUENCHING, LIFE SUSTAINING
.... and hazardous to your health.....

Many water supplies have become unhealthy and
dangerously contaminated. Even chlorine can create
cancer-causing compounds called trihalomethanes.
CRYSTAL QUEST water filter systems remove impurities,
chemicals, chlorine, pesticides, heavy metals and even
bacteria to make great tasting, safe, pure water for your family.

CHEMICAL POLLUTION AND MOTHER'S MILK

We live every day with pollutants. Products of the chemical industry are in
the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat. They're in our
homes and work places, and in the places our children learn and play. In
fact, studies over the last 25 years have proved that as polluting chemicals
have built up in the environment they have even invaded the most natural of
all sources of nourishment -- mother's milk.

Because of the way some chemicals bind to fatty tissues in humans,
measurable concentrations can build up and eventually work their way into
mother's milk when the body calls on fat supplies during lactation. It is a
phenomenon of the chemical age, something our grandmothers never had to
face. Read more:

NATURAL SUCCESS STORIES

TICKS & TEA TREE OIL

"I had read somewhere that Tea Tree Oil was helpful when removing ticks.
Stephanie, our youngest, has had three ticks so far. All three times, I've
put some Tea Tree Oil on the tick and waited until the tick let go so I
could flush it down the toilet. It worked every time! It takes about 30
seconds but I like the fact that I don't have to worry about getting "all of
it out". It must be very toxic to them. I love it!" Giselle

OMEGA 3 EPA

So much research has shown omega oils and essential fatty acids
are key to circulatory health and heart care. Think about all
the fat that Eskimos eat, but because of the omega oils they get
in the fish, they have no heart disease.

Fatty acids are used to form membranes surrounding each of our
trillions of cells. The names of these omega-3 oils are EPA and
DHA. DHA is most concentrated in the brain and retina. Vitamin
E is added to preserve freshness and the source of these oils is
from cold water fish such as salmon and mackerel. This product
does not contain fish liver oils.

OMEGA 3 EPA (60 gel caps) - $18.90 Members Price: $12.75

For Pets: Essential fatty acids are critical to good skin health. They
love the taste of these and dogs will consider them a treat. It certainly
avoids many vet fees and chemicals to relieve the itch.

SPIRITUAL/EMOTIONAL LINK TO HEALTH

FRIENDLY CRITTERS THAT LIVE WITHIN

Do you know that there are friendly bacteria
that live in your intestinal tract? They are critical
to good health and a well-running immune system.
Antibiotics kill off these good bacteria and unless
you rebuild these friendly little critters in your body,
you'll be open to disease. Read more about bifidophilus:
