In Times Of TroubleDon't hoard up and be selfish in these days. The days that were spoken of old called, the last days, are here.
Things are very sensitive in the spirit now.
When you sow good seeds through words and or actions an abundant harvest will come quickly. If you sow evil seeds
you will quickly reap an abuandant harvest of that which you do not want. God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows,
that shall he also reap, weather good or evil.
The just shall live by faith, trusting God daily for provision. In times of gas shortages and such like, continue
to buy as you normally do. Don't walk in fear and top of tanks and storehouses hoarding up for yourselves.
In these days you must trust God daily. These are the days that thousands and ten of thousands shall
fall at the sides of those who walk in faith trusting God daily.
Encourage each other to trust God and walk by faith. This is your only sure hope. Walk in love
at the lines and don't be selfish. Give Place!

ADDCan Your Child Pay Attention?
Children and adults that take Attend have better attention capabilities.
Växa’s
Attend is a safe, homeopathic medicinal specifically engineered to help support the function of the Central Nervous System
(CNS) of individuals who are inclined to be inattentive, under- and/or overactive and perhaps learning impaired, enabling
the body to balance both neural growth and neurotransmitter production within the Brain and Central Nervous System.
The
homeopathic ingredients in Attend support the body's ability to:
* Help calm and reduce stress and frustration.
* Help focus attention and improve concentration.
Växa's Attend is a safe, homeopathic medicinal specifically
formulated to help support the function of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and address the specific neurochemical deficiencies
which are thought to occur within the population of Attention Deficited individuals, whether from child or adult populations.
Taken regularly, this homeopathic medicinal is designed to complement the body's natural calming and balancing agents which
help to focus attention and relieve over-and-under activity, as well as the body's appropriate, sometimes seemingly paradoxical,
counterbalancing system of energy use, and the appropriate attenuation of specific stimulation.
What Is Attention Deficit?
There's
often nothing more frustrating than seeing a child or being an adolescent who experiences learning problems. These individuals
may often be out of control, over-stimulated, under-stimulated, or experience uncontrolled stimulation patterns throughout
their sensorium, exhibiting behavioral patterns which are difficult to explain and which often disrupt an entire household.
Attention
Deficit is a dysfunction of the Central Nervous System (CNS), most specifically the Reticular Activating System, which results
in difficulties of maintaining attention and concentration, learning and memory, as well as involving an inability to process
and sort out incoming information or stimulus from both an individual's inner (subjective) and outer (objective) worlds. It
may manifest itself in undue passivity or inattentiveness, or unruly, uncontrollable, aggressive hyperactivity in affected
individuals.
What Are The Causes Of Attention Deficit? Attention Deficit is a limiting metabolic dysfunction of the
Reticular Activating System, the center of consciousness that coordinates learning and memory, and which normally supplies
the appropriate neural connections necessary for smooth information processing and clear, non-stressful attention. When neural
building materials are lacking, demand for further connectivity cannot easily be fulfilled, interfering with the efficient
processing of information, and frustrating the AD individual.
In other words, neural "hardware" remains in
limited production (there's not enough of it), and supply cannot keep up with the demand (increasing stimulus or "traffic")
for new neural connections within the Central Nervous System (CNS). Demands for new learning, memory, and the management of
information processing cannot be satisfied, and the insufficient "connections" result in existing neural pathways
being repeatedly overworked and over stressed, often resulting in complete gridlock or shutdown so that nothing gets processed
thereafter. This, most noticeably, generates frustration, bewilderment and behavioral problems in the Attention Deficited
individual.
The Reticular Activating System and its connections. At the center of consciousness, attention
and learning.
The Reticular Activating System appears to be intimately involved in the neural mechanisms which produce
consciousness and focused attention, receiving impulses from the spinal cord and relaying them to the Thalamus, and from there
to the Cortex, and back again in a feedback loop to the Hippocampus/Thalamus/ Hypothalamus and participating neural structures
in order for learning and memory to take place. Without continual excitation of cortical neurons by reticular activation impulses,
an individual is unconscious and cannot be aroused. When stimulation is enough for consciousness but not for attentiveness,
ADD or LD results. If too activated, an individual cannot relax or concentrate (and is over-stimulated or hyperactive) often
resulting in ADHD.
How Does This Limitation Affect An Individual's Perceptual Abilities?
Although Attention Deficit
starts in the brain, it really involves the entire sensorium (vision, smell, touch, hearing, etc.) as well as the inner world
of cognition and emotion. When deprived of the required number of neural connections needed to process the "traffic"
smoothly, competition between various stimulus results. Overly competitive stimulation from multiple external and internal
sources (too much visual stimulation, too much sound stimulation, too many internal feelings and emotions, etc.) can cause
undue frustration, irritation, aggression and anxiety. When the limited neural network is overly taxed in this regard, it
becomes unable to "tune in" or focus on some stimulation, while "tuning out," or "turning down"
(attenuating) other stimulation.
This lack of ability to focus on some particular stimulus while attenuating others,
creates undue "noise" in the perceptual systems within the brain. For the Attention Deficited individual, this perceptual
"neural-noise" is so overly noxious and continuous that it appears to be competitively assaultive, crippling any
attempt to concentrate on one stimulus while attenuating others. Feelings of helplessness and anxiety are often overwhelming,
forcing an Attention Deficited individual to look for ways in which to survive the assaultive nature of their world.
A
number of strategies are possible, but two are generally the most common and most easily documented. The first is that of
an ADHD individual. ADHDs are hypothesized to have ample supplies of Acetylcholine and clear, lipofuscin-free, unobstructed
Cholinergic pathways, allowing them to actively compete and overwhelm the intrusive messages. Thus, ADHD individuals attempt
to operate at a "noisier" level (becoming intensely hyperactive), trying to "shout-down" the crowded array
of competing stimulation within their brain.
ADDs and LDs are hypothesized to have low Acetylcholine levels and adverse
lipofuscin populations within the Cholinergic neural pathways, making a competitive response more difficult and trying. For
both an ADD and LD individual, it becomes so "noisy" that it becomes necessary to shut down all processing of the
senses altogether, avoiding and deflecting all stimulation. The incessant cacophony of "neural-noises" produces
a powerfully competitive "numbing," almost hypnotic agent, and ADHD individuals simply "give up" to the
competitively powerful undifferentiated "white-neural-noise" being generated by their sensorium because the neural-thresholds
of the sensorium have over-fired and can no longer be sustained. Thus, unlike other children, the ADD and LD individual simply
"shut-down" and "tune-out," producing high Theta and/or Alpha brain waves.
What Is Attend?
Växa's
Attend is a safe, all-natural, homeopathic medicinal specifically engineered to help support the function of the Central Nervous
System of individuals who are inclined to be inattentive, under and/or overactive and perhaps learning impaired, enabling
the body to balance both neural growth and neurotransmitter production within the Brain and Central Nervous System (CNS).
Attend is formulated to supply the essential building materials for the entire neural network, helping to potentiate balanced
stimulation of the Reticular Activating System while aiding the body in appropriate neural buffering within.
How Does
Attend Work?
Quite uniquely, Attend is designed to complement the body’s natural calming and balancing agents with specific
homeopathic ingredients (Lithium bromatum, carbonicum) which help to target, direct and smoothly focus attention, while naturally
complementing the activity of the Reticular Activating System. The homeopathic ingredients in Attend have exemplified the
power of attenuation in remarkable ways and minimized exhaustion after moderate mental effort. Additionally the homeopathic
ingredients in Attend have served to aid in prolonged mental exertion and brain fatigue. The inability to keep the mind fixed
on any one subject may be a reason to consider taking Attend. Attend may also be helpful with other symptoms such as wandering
thoughts, restless agitation, weakness of memory, and slow perception.
Are There Any Side-Effects With Attend?
No,
Attend is safe and non-toxic! Unlike other medications, Attend works without the harmful side-effects that may stunt the growth
of developing children. Indeed, Attend works to help naturally stimulate neural growth patterning and regenerative activity
so as to forge more “connections” within the neural network. Interestingly, other ADD-specific pharmaceuticals have been suspected
of retarding growth of ADD individuals, which ironically, is the last thing you would want to do with individuals who have
been neurally limited! Furthermore, Attend works without diminishing overall processing, cognitive and learning activities,
as do amphetamines, antidepressants or anticonvulsants normally prescribed for ADD, and all of which have been shown to detrimentally
diminish cognitive activity.

A Day Of Prayer
On the early morning of September 26, 2008, I had two dreams, which sparked me to do something that I have never done before.
God instructed my wife and I to close our business for the day and dedicate the entire day to praying for our nation. This
is the day that our leaders must make God given decisions in order to save our nation from financial disaster. The scriptures
that God instructed us to pray are in II Kings Chapters 18-20. As we studied the scriptures above we saw exactly what to pray
and speak over our nation in troubled times.
Hezekiah, king of Judah was a man that followed the Lord’s commandments according to his father David.
II Kings 3-7 states, And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father
did.
4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that
Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any
that were before him.
6 For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded
Moses.
7 And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria,
and served him not.
Because of Hezekiah’s commitment to the Lord and rebelling against the king of Assyria, which by the way is a type and
shadow of Satan and his kingdom, the king of Assyria came against Hezekiah and exhalted himself against God saying that God
could not deliver him from his hand. The king of Assyria even told the people under Hezekiah that if they served him they
would be well taken care of. The king of Assyria also required king Hezekiah, king of Judah, to pay him silver and gold. Through
fear Hezekiah gave over all of the silver and gold from the house of the Lord and the kings house right down to the over lay
on the doors and pillars.
Today we must pray that the leaders of our nation not be moved with fear and give this nation over to the Assyrian
and his system of finance. Our nation is a godly nation and God is the provider of our nation not this worldly financial system
which is destined to fail. We must pray that the leadership of our nation be granted wisdom to make godly and right decisions
in this present time of trouble.
II Kings 19:3 stated by Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke and blasphemy: for the children are
come to the birth and there is not strength to bring forth. Our nation is in a weak state right now. We must pray that
the leadership have strength to give birth to the answers that will lead us back into a strong nation. The word says, Let
the weak say, I am strong.
This nation and the leadership of this nation must trust God to deliver us from the hand of the Assyrian. We have no business
trying to patch up a failing system. We need a new system that is God ordained, birthed through the prayer of His saints from
the truth of His word. Psalms 20:1-2 states The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob
defend thee; 2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion… Praying saints are the strength
from the sanctuary and it is our prayers that is going to strengthen the leadership of our strong nation.
As we see in II Kings Chapter 19 Hezekiah prayed and the Lord heard his words and delivered the nation of Judah out of
the hand of the Assyrian. His great army was destroyed by one angel, 185,000 men, in one night while they slept and the king
of Assyria was slain by his own sons.
We also need to pray that the leadership of our nation play their hand close the to the chest. In other words we as a nation
do not need to let the entire world in on our success, treasuries and riches or our strength of armor.
Notice II Kings 20 where the king of Babylon, sent gifts to Hezekiah because he heard that he was sick near unto death.
(Hezekiah prayed again and God healed him and granted him 15 more years.) The king of Babylon was setting him up, inquiring
of all of his wealth and riches and armor. In the following portion of scripture we read,
At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had
heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and
the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was
nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto
thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
15 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they
seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
17 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day,
shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs
in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Because Hezekiah had been so generous with information he fell captive to the king of Babylon, which by the way is a type
and shadow of the worldly system of finance of ungodly nations. Again we need to pray that the leadership of our nation
have wisdom is this area. So we can keep what is ours. We need to pray the wealth that has been given to ungodly nations back
in to our nation. God is our provider, not the Babylonian system of finance.
Now notice in the closing verses about Hezekiah’s live in II Kings 20:!9 how he was deceived into believing a lie concerning
peace and truth. Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is
it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
The answer to the question that Hezekiah asked is NO, it is not good for our riches and son and daughters to be given over
to this worldly system of evil finance. We will not sacrifice our sons and daughters because we did not pray for the leadership
of our great nation. LET US PRAY, NOW.
Remember when praying for our great nation, always pray the ANSWER. Never pray the problem. Find scriptures in the word
of God concerning our nation and pray God’s word to Him. These are the prayers that are sure to be answered. Speak God’s word
over this nation. He will quickly perform His word. Jeremiah 1:12, Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for
I will hasten my word to perform it.

SilverBy now you probably know about the amazing benefits of silver,colloidal silver that is. Silver has been used to boost the
immune system, applied topically for many skin conditions. Colloidal silver has also been used for hundreds of years for
many different conditions in the body.
Many know the benefits of silver in the body but what about silver to protect
your financial status in these troubled financial times. It make good sense to protect your financial future with silver
investment as well. Silver has passed the test of time from the beginning until now as holding its value.
Silver's
history shows that it has been worth over $800 per ounce in the thirteenth century. Today there is great and constant effort
by some to keep the price of silver low, but you cannot fool those who know its true value. Silver is selling in online auctions
for 20 to 25 percent and more over spot price. Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself. Silver and gold is what
keeps the world's financial system stable, not money.

Vitamin c and Skin CareVitamin C and its role in collagen synthesis
The only antioxidant proven to increase collagen synthesis, it aids in
the healing of minor cuts and wounds.
As collagen decreases with age, photo aging further speed up the decrease. L-ascorbic
acid acts as a signal, sending the message to the collagen genes so it can manufacture more collagen, and also is a cofactor
for enzymes vital in collagen synthesis.
The production of collagen is affected when the skin is exposed to reactive
oxygen species, known as free radicals. As a result, wrinkles and premature skin sagging transpire.
Too much UV radiation
exposure will give rise to free radicals. As UV radiation deeply penetrates the skin creating free radicals as well as other
reactive agents that hit and damage the skin’s lipids, vitamin C helps the body to neutralize these free radicals.
Vitamin
C performs these functions:
1. Fights off foreign invaders in the body.
2. Increases collagen production in
the skin.
3. Helps in the production of anti bodies.
4. Is a natural antihistamine, can reduce allergic reactions.
5.
Naturalizes pollutants.
6. Maintains healthy skin
7. Increase the rate of healing.

Hoodia - The Best For Weight ControlWe know that you are looking for answers that work or you would not be reading this now. We talk to people like yourself
everyday in our heath store about our Hoodia. We know that our hoodia works from the testimonies we get back. They all are
not as amazing as the one above, but there are plenty of good testimonies of people getting good results with our hoodia.
Here are some key points about hoodia products that you need to know:
* The hoodia plant looks like
a cactus, but it's actually a succulent from the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. Bushmen from the area have been using
hoodia plants for centuries to help ward off hunger during long trips in the desert.
* Is entirely natural -- it is
not a drug. Pharmaceutical companies find it so promising, however, that they are trying to isolate the appetite-suppressing
molecule, P57, to create a patented diet drug in the future.
* Only the gordonii variation of hoodia has appetite suppressant
abilities.
* Tricks the brain into thinking you've eaten, and makes you feel full.
* May work right away, or
may take several weeks.
* Key results of hoodia reported include a reduced interest in food, delay in the time after
eating before hunger sets in again, feeling full more quickly, and a general feeling of well-being
* Is not a stimulant,
and has no known side effects.
* Hoodia products appear to be safe for most people.
We Recommend Pure Hoodia
Gordonii Powder (Not a 20:1 Extract)
We believe that hoodia should be taken in its natural state, as taken by the San.
The San Bushmen have not only taken Hoodia as an effective appetite suppressant, but also as a thirst quencher, for severe
abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes. Studies have shown that without the supporting
ingredients in the unprocessed Hoodia Gordonii, much of the potency of the suppressant and medicinal benefits are lost. Some
plants have great supporting properties, but when they are extracted they are gone and some of the extracts don’t work as
well without them, the Hoodia gordonii plant is such a plant. As a supplement it is best taken in its purest powder form and
not from extract.

All Things Are Possible
There is nothing impossible to any man that will allow the Holy Spirit to teach the laws of manifestation which are faith,
hope, and love.
1 John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but
as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught
you, ye shall abide in him.
The Holy Spirit will teach you to walk like Jesus walked on earth if you will allow Him. He will teach you to be a true
witness of Christ, an exact image of God.
While Jesus was on earth he told us what the Holy Spirit would do when he arrived. We read about it in John 16:12-15, I
have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak
of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew
it unto you.
The Holy Spirit shows us all things that are to come so we can take faith and bring them to pass. He is our tour guide
so to speak. A tour guide takes the party to their destinations in an unfamiliar country. He explains in detail all things.
Without a guide the tour party would get lost in these new places and miss out on the best things. Jesus said that I have
many things to show you but only as we are able to bear them or understand them.
Love is what causes us to understand or bear up and walk in these things. As we grow in love, the Holy Spirit can show
us more and more of God’s wonderful things that he as prepared for those that love him. Love bears all things. Love understands
all things.
We stand at the threshold of a higher walk with God, where our love is perfected and faith works as Jesus showed us in
His ministry. These exceeding great and precious promises are our hope. Faith works by love and causes hope to manifest. Now
remains these three, faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
If you want to grow to a higher level in faith then you must first eat at a higher level. If you believe on this higher
level you can go there. If you do not believe on this higher level you will stay where you are and miss out on these exceeding
great and precious promises that God desires to manifest in your life. My calling is to stir you up to believe and move up
to this level. Dare to believe in your heart what your mind says is beyond possible.

Cleansing Points
The body has seven elimination channels: Lungs, Liver, Skin, Kidneys, Colon, Lymph, and Blood. When choosing a cleanse
make sure it uses all seven of these channels.
The most important thing that the body needs to cleanse is PURE WATER.
Not supplying the body ample amounts of water (at least 8 glasses per day) is like washing a load of dirty clothes in a washing
machine by adding only 2 cups of water. What would happen? Not only would the clothes not be cleansed, but they would also
be damaged. Now you see why water is so important to a healthy energized body.
When cleansing the body it is very important
to do a full body cleanse, not just a colon cleanse. Cleansing the colon without cleansing the rest of the body would be like
changing the oil in your automobile with out changing the oil filter. Again, damage would be done to the internal working
parts.
Are you a candidate for cleansing? Answer the questions below to find out.
Are you tired, sick, overweight,
can’t sleep? Do you have problems with, joint pain, headaches, vision, bloating, gas, constipation, bad breath, body odor,
chronic infection, or allergies? Are you taking medication, working in health care, working with cleansing agents? Do you
smoke, use synthetic vitamins, perfumes or body products or eat dead processed foods? If you answered yes to some of these,
then you are a good candidate for cleansing.
Things you want to consider when cleansing:
* Drink at least
8 glasses of water daily.
* Eat whole foods while cleansing.
* Eat a minimum of 35 grams of fiber daily.
* Do not eat red meat while cleansing, eat more cold water fish.
* Eat less dairy and no refined carbohydrates,
sugar and saturated fats.
* Eat small meals more frequently through out the day. (This puts less stress on the liver.)
* Take a fish oil supplement to help lubricate the colon.
* Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
* Do not drink
caffeine.
* Do not alcohol.
* Avoid being hungry while cleansing.
* Avoid vigorous exercise. Allow plenty
time for rest.
Some good side effects that you should NOT be concerned about would be, increased bowel movements,
headaches, nausea, skin rashes and temporary lack of energy. Toxins and parasites leave the body through the mouth, nose,
skin, colon and urinary track so do not be surprised to see strange things happening in those areas of the body while cleansing.

Digestive Health
Have you ever eaten something and it sits on you stomach like a pile of rocks. A few minutes later your stomach begins
to erupt like a volcano, it turns, it burns, churns. If you had taken digestive enzymes before eating you could have avoided
the whole ordeal.
Digestive enzymes are responsible for breaking down the food that you eat, preparing it for assimilation, which takes place
mostly in the small intestines once it leaves the stomach. By taking enzymes, not only will you avoid the rock piles and volcanic
stomach, you will feel more energized. Why? Your food is actually being broken down and used by the body. It is these nutrients
that are properly assimilated into the cells through the blood stream that supply the body energy.
All enzymes are divided into three groups: metabolic enzymes, which run you body, digestive enzymes, which digest foods
and food enzymes, which are contained naturally in raw foods that start food digestion. The more food enzymes you ingest,
the less your body has to borrow from its natural metabolic and digestive enzymes to digest food.
Each whole food has it own set of food enzymes that aid in ripening and digestion of the plant. This process continues
until the plant completely disintegrates. On the vine it is called rotting, if in the body it is called digestion. Several
servings of RAW fruits and vegetables are needed daily to aid in digestive processes. Cooked foods do not count. Live enzymes
die at 120 degrees F., assuming enzymes are present in the first place. Green harvesting, soil depletion and companies tampering
with the enzymes to give longer shelf life are culprits that rob enzymes from food.
Other eating tips that help digestion are: Drink plenty of fluids, eat plenty of fiber, eat breakfast - it is the most
important meal of the day for your over all health, eat slowly and take small bites, eat at regular times, and relax when
eating.
As we age our bodies produce less and less enzymes. Between the ages of 27 to 35 years, enzyme production decreases as
much or more than at any other times of life. This is when we first notice aging, due to reduction of enzymes. It makes sense
to supplement with enzymes to help slow down this, ever present, aging process.
When choosing an enzyme supplement it is advised to purchase a formula that digests protein, carbohydrates, fats, dairy,
plant fiber and legumes. Many excellent formulas that digest these food types are available at reasonable prices. Stay away
from extremely low cost and high cost products. Just because a formula costs more does not mean it is better. Many expensive
products are manufactured by small specialty or multi-level marketing MLM) companies. Expect to pay $10
- $20 for a one month supply of good quality digestive enzymes.

ALLERGIES? NOT JUST IN YOUR HEAD!
It’s also in your blood! Allergens trigger histamine in the blood, causing emergency elimination responses, such as sneezing
and wheezing, itching, headaches, and more. There are numerous synthetic over the counter drugs on the market which help calm
the symptoms, but many of these have mild to serious side effects! Most of these work by stimulating the adrenal glands, or
they actually have synthetic adrenal hormone derivatives such as prednisone. Unfortunately, they can have unwanted side effects,
such as drowsiness, high blood pressure, prostate problems, and adrenal fatigue. Fortunately, herbalists and homeopaths have
used natural remedies for centuries, with very little side effects. My favorite natural antihistamine alternatives are Pollen
Block (feverfew-nettle), Newton’s or Nature’s Sunshine homeopathic hayfever drops, and asthma drops(children and adults).
Other herbal combinations are Nature’s Sunshine ALJ (safe with all meds) and Sinus Support. Colloidal Silver and homeopathic
nasal sprays, netti pots, quercetin and butterbur herb have also proven very safe and effective with our customers. For children,
liquid ALJ, Echinacea-eyebright, or Nettle-eyebright are safe and effective. Allergies can also be connected to a nutritional
deficiency, digestive problem, or toxin. Many allergies dissipate with certain supplements, for example, magnesium for wheat
allergy, or local honey (and b vitamins) for hay fever. Feeding adrenal glands and avoiding fast foods (food additives) and
sugar can bring quick relief. Food for your adrenal glands include vitamin C, pantothenic acid, royal jelly, and magnesium.
Let’s get it out of our heads that we have to suffer..

Balance
Isaiah 40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended
the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Isaiah 40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold,
he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Job 37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge.
Perfect balance is a foundation principle of God. Everything that God made is in perfect balance right down to the weight
of the clouds that float in the air. He takes in to account the dust on the scale before we weighs a thing. He knows the weight
of every grain of sand on the seashore. He knows the number of the hairs of our heads. He knows when a sparrow falls to the
ground. It registers on His balances. The oceans are measured out in perfect balance. The tides are considered in the balancing
of the universe. The weight of every mountain and every hill has been calculated and is placed in perfect balance.
The bodies in the heavens are all in perfect balance. If the earth’s moon moved out of line, the solar system would be
out of perfect balance. The constellations are in perfect balance. We know when they will appear. The stars are for perfect
navigation. Everything is spinning like a gyroscope in perfect balance. When a toy gyroscope is spinning in perfect balance
it can be picked up on a small piece of string. How much more has the God of all creation given us a universe that is spinning
in perfect balance.
Psalms 19:1-2, The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Even the human body was created to have perfect balance. All systems and organs effect each other’s balance. When one is
out of line the entire body is effected. Nutrients in food were created to keep man’s body in perfect balance. Eat a colorful
diet to ensure that you are getting a wide variety of nutrients. Don’t get in a nutrition rut, eating the same things every
week, just because you like them. Feed yourself and your family with the food that you need, not what you like.
The body must have balance to walk upright. It must have balance in order to hear properly. It must have balance to see
with perfect vision. Every bodily sense must have balance to function properly.
Try looking into a kalaidoscope with one eye. Try listening to music with one earphone. You miss out on the fullness of
what it is meant to be unless there is balance. Even if you listen to music through both earphones, unless they are perfectly
balanced you do not get the fullness of the sound. The instant the head phones are balanced you know it. The same thing is
true with the balancing of the systems of the body. When one is off you know it.
The Apostle Paul compared the body of Christ to the human body. Every member is needed for perfect balance in order for
the body of Christ to grow up into the full stature of Christ. When you walk into a balanced church you know it.
What is a balanced church? What is a balanced body of Christ?
Ephesians 4:11-16, And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight
of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual
working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Micah 6:11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
A balanced body is a church being fed with truth that it may grow to the full measure of Christ. It is not using false
balances to teach the truth. It is using pure balances to weigh the truth that is fed to the people. There is no sleight of
men and cunning craftiness that deceives from the truth of the word of God.
People that teach that healing and prosperity are not for today and such things, are deceivers and hinder the growth and
balance of a church. We are warned by the Apostle Paul that these teachings would try to enter into the body of Christ in
the last days. These teachings will cause the body of Christ to spin off course.
Titus 1: 15-16, Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but
even their mind and conscience is defiled.16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable,
and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Healing and prosperity are good works and should be taught in every
local church according to the truth.

Hormone Herbs
Comprehensive List of Herbs and Supplements for Hormones and Hot Flashes
Most people have heard of black cohosh or wild yam for hot flashes, but for various reasons, people are looking for other
herbs or substances not so well known.
This comprehensive list may help you find some successful alternatives to the popular drug and herbal therapies presently
used. If you are on medication always consult a doctor and check for interactions.
Alfalfa, the father of all herbs can help hot flashes and other menopausal problems such as endometriosis, spider veins,
osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, arthritis, and cancer. It has a mild estrogenic activity, and is safe for children…most chlorophyll
supplements are made from alfalfa, and are used as blood builders and detoxifiers, as well as deodorizers.
Black Cohosh is probably the most well known and tested of menopause herbs. It has reduced and eliminated hot flashes,
mental stress and tension in women, and balances hormones in men as well. It can relieve migraines, vaginal dryness, arthritis,
and high blood pressure. If too much is absorbed a frontal lobe headache can occur. Black Cohosh may need probiotics(acidophilus)
to enter the bloodstream, so try it again with probiotic supplements or yogurt if it didn’t work the first time. Calendula,
a common herbal salve or cream is effective for vaginal dryness and has some antibacterial effect.
Damiana,commonly used to increase sex drive in women and men of all ages, can also help other conditions, such as urinary
tract infections, depression, bad circulation and low metabolism…However, it can lower iron absorption and lower blood sugar,
which may or may not be needed.

Ounce of Prevention Nutrients
In a era when flu shots are connected with alzhiemers and immunizations with autism, it pays to prevent.
Viral Shields - Elderberry, olive leaf or astragalus boost our defenses so we don’t catch that virus in the first place.
Many minerals play a key role in immune defense such as zinc, potassium, selenium, magnesium. Calcium can help the body lower
fever.
Anti- aging - D3, (depleted by Prednisone, Questran, Dilantin, and other drugs) may increase gene tolomeres, a key to anti-aging.
CoQ10 and alpha lipoid acid are still considered important nutrients to help the body to deal with a multitude of degenerative
diseases, from diabetes, cardiovascular, alzheimers, fibromyalgia, to liver and kidney problems and even some cancers.
Pregnancy - There are many strong medicinal herbs that cannot be used in pregnancy, but mild nutritive herbs such as kelp,
nettle, alfalfa, yellow dock and ginger can help with colds, low iron, and toxemia. Red raspberry leaf (but not too much until
delivery time!) and liquid chlorophyll also have a safe and beneficial track record. A natural prenatal vitamin with supplemental
EFA’s (especially DHA) and calcium (1200mg/day in divided doses) with magnesium (500-600mg/day in divided doses is essential.
GTF chromium and added B complex have been safely used for gestational diabetes under doctor supervision.
