A NOTE FROM RANDAL
In this issue, I have included some good information on pervasive antibiotic
use. I think you will be surprised just how often we consume antibiotics
and what little is being done about their exploitation. Below is a short
blurb about antibiotics in fast food and a link to also register your
complaint.
*** Antibiotic Resistance: McDonald’s and Other Fastfood
Companies React. Why Not Bayer? ***
The New York Times reports that McDonald’s, Wendy’s,
and Popeye’s have agreed to stop purchasing poultry
products treated with certain antibiotics. Some poultry
producers are also reducing the use of these antibiotics
in the chickens they produce. Overuse of antibiotics
in farm animals increases antibiotic resistance in
bacteria, threatening human health. Bayer Corporation,
maker of antibiotics, has refused to stop selling antibiotics
for use in farm animals, despite pressure from the
FDA, Environmental Defense, and nearly 10,000 Action
Network Activists.

difference.

Have you ever laughed at the playful antics of squirrels or felt joy as you
listened to a wren singing loudly early in the morning? Nature is all
around us and all through us. It’s very healing. Make your own backyard

HERB/VITAMIN NEWS
ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS FOR YOU!
It takes 30 roses to produce just one drop of pure rose essence. Because of
their high concentrations, essential oils are extremely potent and can dry
or irritate the skin if used alone, and so should always be diluted before
being applied.
For massage, essential oils are diluted in a carrier oil to produce what is
known as a “personal blend.” Choose a carrier oil that suits your skin type
and special needs. All-purpose carrier oils include apricot kernel oil,
sweet almond oil, soy oil and grapeseed oil, and sunflower oil.
Get some recipes here:

NOTE: Please check the above page on April 15th. Nature’s Sunshine has
included several new essential oils that will be available for shipment at
that time.

HEALTH NEWS
ANTIBIOTICS OVERUSED IN HUMAN MEDICINE
In doctors’ offices and hospitals, antibiotics are often seen as a quick-fix
solution for patients. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 20 to 50 percent of all outpatient antibiotic prescriptions and
25 to 45 percent of antibiotics prescriptions in hospitals are
inappropriate.
https:///www.cspinet.org/ar/ar_humanmedicine.html
ANTIBIOTICS OVERUSED IN LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION
While medical use of antibiotics is probably the major contributor to the
emergence of antibiotic resistance, agricultural uses also pose a problem.
Almost half of all antibiotics produced in the U.S. are used in livestock
production.

FEATURED PRODUCTS
MILK THISTLE COMBINATION
This powerful formula provides nutrients that must be present for the liver
to perform its 500 or more functions. It contains Vitamin A & C, milk
thistle extract (80% silymarin, 175 mg.), dandelion root (150 mg.), choline
bitartrate (60 mg.), and inositol (60 mg.). After the holidays, the liver
surely needs some.
Milk Thistle consists of three powerful liver-protective flavonoids. These
flavonoids, silybin, silydianin, and silychristin, are usually referred to
as silymarin. The effects of silymarin are well researched, showing
protection against such hepato-toxins as alcohol, carbon tetrachloride,
pesticides, heavy metals, and acetaminophen overdose. Not only can silymarin
protect liver cells, it can regenerate already damaged ones. Additionally,
silymarin was shown to increase liver, stomach, and intestinal glutathione.
Supplementation may prevent, or be helpful with, the following conditions:
Aging, Alcoholism, Heart disease (atherosclerosis & hypercholesterolemia),
Hepatitis, Immunodepression (including AIDS & CFIDS), and Psoriasis

SPIRITUAL/EMOTIONAL LINK TO HEALTH
VOLUNTARILY INVEST IN THE LIFE OF YOUR OFFENDER.
© Institute in Basic Life Principles – 1987
“How to Overcome Bitterness by Forgiveness”
This final step in forgiveness is often overlooked by those who are seeking
to have a forgiving spirit. It is, however, the key to turning bitterness
into forgiveness and genuine love. The following story should explain why:
Two Christian brothers were startled one morning when they went out to their
rice field and discovered that the water they had hauled up the hill the day
before had been drained off by their neighbor into his field. The brothers
forgave their neighbor in their hearts, repaired the broken dike, and began
hauling up more water.
For the next several nights the neighbor offended these brothers in the same
way. It was then that they went to their pastor and asked, “Why don’t we
have joy and love in our hearts for our neighbor when we forgive him?”
The pastor wisely said, “You will never have joy or love for your neighbor
until you begin irrigating his field.” The idea sounded preposterous to the
brothers, but they decided to try it. The next morning they made a marvelous
discovery. The longer they worked on their neighbor’s field, the more joy
they had in the Lord and the more love they had for their neighbor.
This occurred because they had voluntarily invested a “treasure” of time,
energy, and water in their neighbor’s life. Scripture promises that “. . .
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21).
A part of their treasure and their heart were now with their neighbor. After
they irrigated their neighbor’s field for several days, he came to them,
confessed his wrong, and became a Christian.
The same principle of voluntarily investing a “treasure” in the life of your
offender was taught by Christ when He talked about the second mile. (See
Matthew 5:41.)
In Christ’s day God was disciplining the nation of Israel through the
military occupation of the Roman armies. Many Jews were bitter toward the
Romans. A Roman soldier could require any male twelve years of age or older
to carry his military pack one mile in any direction.
The first mile was, therefore, involuntary service, but the second mile was
a voluntary investment of something of value. Jesus knew that going the
second mile would create love among his disciples for the Roman soldiers and
open the door for many of the soldiers to become Christians.
This principle is so important that it is to be carried out whether your
offender has just or unjust causes against you: “. . . If any man will sue
thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also”
(Matthew 5:40).
The cloak was used as protection at night from the cold, and giving it away
was certainly a sacrificial investment, but Jesus said to do it. He knows
that if you do not voluntarily invest in the life of the one toward whom
you are bitter, you will never experience the potential of redemptive love.
