A NOTE FROM DONNA

The last issue of this newsletter went out about the same time of the attack
on America and it's certainly been a challenging time for many since then
and for us all as we pray and stand with those who are suffering deeply from
loss of family and friends. Although it's 12 days after the attack, I
believe most of us are still numb, trying to do what we can with what we
have, and trying to believe for a better world where violence is not present
at every corner.

I pray that this day finds you a bit of peace in your own corner of the
world and that we will use this event in our lives for good in some way.
Such life's events can make us BETTER or make us BITTER. The better way to
go is better :-)

May God Bless YOU Today!
Donna

HERB/VITAMIN NEWS

BLACK COHOSH - AN ESTROGEN ALTERNATIVE

Now comes a possible solution to the estrogen dilemma: Black Cohosh, the
leading herbal therapy for hot flashes in Europe. A cousin of the
buttercup, black cohosh grows wild in the deciduous forests of the eastern
United States. American Indians have used it as a folk remedy for
centuries.

Word has spread across the Atlantic; according to Nutrition Business
Journal, a trade publication, sales of black cohosh preparations in this
country jumped to $34 million in 1999, from $11 million the year before -- a
trend that is occurring almost entirely outside the medical mainstream,
because many American doctors behave as though herbal remedies don't exist.

TRIED BLACK COHOSH WITHOUT SUCCESS?
or get headaches from Black Cohosh?

Rather than using it as a single herb, you may want to try it in a formula.
Many have found that using Black Cohosh in combination with other herbs of
similar properties creates a synergistic and more beneficial effect. One of
those combinations is called Female Comfort:

CHILDREN: SORE THROAT

When your child has a sore throat, do you need to be concerned? The column
"Childhood Sore Throat" prepared by the American Institute of Preventive
Medicine offers specific guidelines to evaluate the situation. Does your
child have a bacterial or viral sore throat? Should you take your child to
the doctor immediately, or try some self-care tips? Important information
can reassure parents.

FAKE DRUGS FOUND IN PHARMACIES

The Food and Drug Administration is investigating
four cases of counterfeit prescription drugs making
their way to pharmacy shelves, and, in some cases,
being given to patients. This is a new avenue for
counterfeiters.

GOLDEN SALVE

This stuff is nothing less than miraculous when it comes to healing skin
tissue. In 24 hours it's obvious that tissue has begun to fill in and the
natural antibiotic properties keep wounds from getting infected. We have
saved many stitches and ER visits raising a very active boy.

Here's a "Success Story" from one of our customers:

"I used Golden Salve when I sprained my ankle and it was better
in two (2) days. I also use it for dry cuticles during a
manicure. I gave it to a friend for a huge callous. She walks
with crutches and drags her feet, so she gets huge cracked
callouses. It is slowly healing even though she is constantly
walking on it. She's also used Golden Salve on sunburn and it
took the sting right out and she didn't peel. After enjoying it
so much for herself, she began using it on her cat that has sores
from fighting, and it is healing them up. Since the cat licks
the Golden Salve also, she has noticed that it hasn't thrown up
any hairballs. " Rob

SPIRITUAL/EMOTIONAL LINK TO HEALTH

"Not until we extend the circle of compassion to
include all living things shall we ourselves know peace."
----- Albert Schweitzer

Nature was a key part of life for our ancestors prior to
the industrialization of America. People lived in harmony
with Nature and knew that much of their bounty depended
on it.

It doesn't take but a few minutes in a forest to know that
there is life there that we know nothing of and that all
things work together to support each other. God made
it that way ----- we need to think about keeping it that
way for our own emotional and spiritual health.

THE FARMER'S KIDS

A farmer had so many children that he ran out of names, so he
started naming his kids after something around the farm. On
the first day of school, the teacher asked each child their name.
When he got to one of the farmer's sons, the boy replied,
"Wagon Wheel."

The teacher said, "I need your REAL name, son."

The boy said, quite seriously, "It's Wagon Wheel, sir, really."

The teacher, very irritated and wanting to make an example to
the rest of the class said, "All right, young man, march yourself
right down to the principal's office THIS minute!"

The boy got out of his chair, turned to his sister and said,
"Come on, Chicken Feet, he ain't gonna believe YOU, either!"
