This newsletter is long overdue, but our regular website visitors have really enjoyed the previous pages and we have become familiar faces to many of you. Vivienne has left Africa for foreign currency, greener pastures and warmer waters till next year. We managed to squeeze this job out of her during her travels in Australia, between scuba diving, drinking Auzzie beer and riding kangaroos! Enjoy your browsing and don’t hesitate to contact us if you need help. We are happy to provide editorial information for publications. Magazines and newspapers often lift articles from our site but please, quote the website reference; www.naturefresh.co.za as well as the author: Sue Visser. It is best to inform her beforehand as some of the information was written a long time ago and needs to be updated. As a health researcher, Sue is always discovering new information and is happy to share it with everybody, at no cost to you!

NATURE FRESH IS GETTING BIGGER AND BETTER!

They can arrange for supplies from Michelle at : 021 7066181

We had to move into a larger depot around the corner as we were bursting at the seams. As the orders come flooding in, we still pride ourselves on instant deliveries. This means we have to maintain adequate stock levels of more than 30 products. Our pharmaceutical manufacturers have also had to expand, according to the increasing demand for natural health products nationwide. All products comply with MCC regulations, according to GMP (good manufacturing process) stipulations.

Now Jim and his assistant Michelle can flex their muscles as they toss endless boxes of products onto the shelves – and then pack them off to eager consumers. Our retail network is constantly increasing and Nature Fresh Products should soon be available to just about every pharmacy, health shop or supermarket in South Africa. If you have difficulty obtaining any of the products, please request them from a suitable outlet near you.

Sue Visser has continued to inspire, haggle and scold her Radio 786 listeners about their health every alternative morning for the past five years. So much so, that she was invited to speak at a weekend health fair in June in Athlone Cape Town. What a pleasant change it was to see delicious health foods and nutritious delicacies being paraded alongside a host of alternative therapies like: shiatsu, reiki, Indian head massage, hot stone therapy and Body Talk for the benefit of the community. Washiela, a well known health fanatic from Radio 786 and her energetic helpers did a stunning job. Well done, and all this without koeksisters!

Sue gave a riveting, if not gruelling account of: PARASITES IN PARADISE at Health For Life in Gardens Centre, to a packed house in Cape Town in May. After two hours, people were still sitting on the edge of their seats, but many heads were nodding in agreement. It all makes sense in the end and once the unwelcome guests are out, the body has far more energy as well as sustenance to be in peak form. Thank you Allan Sakinofsky for your wonderful hospitality and refreshments. Allan hosts a free health evening once a month and you can phone: Cape Town 021 461 1450 to book a seat. Top speakers share their secrets about alternative health and healing and you can meet helpful therapists or get advice about products, remedies, health foods and supplements.

Monica Fairall of SAFM interviewed Sue on the programme: Durban After Dark. It is broadcast every Wednesday evening on SAFM from 8pm till 11pm. They chatted about the book: HEALTHY HAPPY EATING. Although many people are sceptical about blood type eating, great results are being achieved. This book helps both the health professional as well as the layman get to grips with the concept. In addition, there is a lot health advice as well as remedies that are easy to make in the kitchen.

JUNIOR TOOTHPASTE GETS A FACELIFT!

Many years ago we saw baby Sasha eating toothpaste. Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Fluoride is toxic and now toothpaste labels warn mothers to supervise tooth brushing and see that the child uses only a tiny amount of toothpaste. They have to rinse adequately and spit out the residue. What a hassle! Sue developed Nature Fresh Junior Toothpaste for her own peace of mind and it was soon selling on supermarket shelves as an alternative to toxic toothpaste.

Children have grown to love their “teddy toothpaste” as it has a mild, creamy flavour and it contains no burny peppermint, menthol or toxic fluoride. Instead, the Junior toothpaste contains the homeopathic form of fluoride, known as calc fluor with nutrients like: calcium, magnesium and vitamin C. Herbal extracts of calendula and Aloe Ferox help to keep germs at bay and the aniseed oil doubles up to stimulate saliva, soothe sore little gums and ease colicky pains.

Now the label gets a facelift and Teddy has been given two front teeth – about time! Many children have grown up with this safe, non-toxic toothpaste and like Sasha have beautiful strong white teeth and healthy gums that don’t bleed. Look Ma, no fillings!

NEW IMPROVED TOOTHPASTE

Propolis has been added to our ALOE GUM THERAPY TOOTHPASTE. What is propolis? Propolis is a substance made by bees to protect their hives. This sticky black substance contains various resins and balsam from trees and has a very effective anti-microbial profile. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties are ideal for mouth and gum infections and sensitive spots. Over the years we have had excellent results with patients suffering from periodontal diseases, ulcers and sensitive areas. It can even be applied directly to open wounds or when teeth are removed.

The new anti-microbial HERBAL TOOTHPASTE has also had a face-lift and we added olive leaf and clove oil to the formulation to boost its germ-fighting powers. Because we harbour over 400 types of bacteria in the mouth it is important to maintain the correct pH of the saliva, especially after brushing our teeth and rinsing out the offending pathogens. It is important to keep the breath fresh and not damage gum and periodontal tissue. This can easily be achieved with fluoride free toothpaste aided by safe and natural ingredients. If oral homeostasis is maintained, the sticky layer of plaque caused by bacteria will not return as easily. Wake up in the morning and run your tongue over your teeth. Are they still smooth and clean? How about your breath?

A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH PARASITES

To cut a long story short, if you don’t feel well, first look for parasites. To save even more time, just take a course of Nature Fresh Parasite Remedy. (If you are pregnant or allergic to the herbs it contains, rather don’t take a chance.) The results? People suffering from migraines and constant headaches, fatigue, skin disorders, anaemia, colds and flu, digestive upsets, abdominal pains, insomnia and acidity have all reported miraculous relief.

When testing the formulation on myself, I was amazed to hear that I had bilhazia (shistosomiasis), caused by flukes that had been there for a very long time. After taking the Parasite Remedy for three days, there was not a trace of them. My anaemia and fatigue went away. When bitten by a deadly sand fly from tropical Africa, I became extremely ill. Once again, I took an intensive course of the Parasite Remedy and recovered fully with the help of acidophilus and Betaine HCL supplements. Just in time, as Leichmania Tropica is a fatal disease. As for Jim’s malaria - he cured it years ago with olive leaf tablets. We never take chances when we travel, so the whole family gets a daily shot of Parasite Remedy! This also helps to keep gut bugs, foreign parasites and colds and flu at bay. As a bonus, it instantly deadens mosquito bites or persistent itching. It also works as a very effective deodorant, when sprayed under the arms or onto sweaty feet!

OLIVE LEAVES WORK WONDERS

Many of the Nature Fresh products contain olive leaf and for a very good reason. The leaves act as a natural preservative! As you can see, the bread and cheese on the left is free of yeast and mould, although it had been soaking in water that contained olive leaf tincture for over a week. The controls soaked in plain water are full of fur and microbial activity. A bottle of milk will last longer out of the fridge if you place a few bruised olive twigs inside the bottle. Even though olive leaves kill harmful bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, they are friendly to gut bacteria. This can be demonstrated by the fact that the milk treated with olive leaves can still be made into yoghurt. No wonder so many people are turning to olive leaf tablets and tincture as a natural alternative to antibiotics. Taken in daily doses of 2 tablets twice a day, they help to prevent colds and flu and control blood pressure.

Make a point of buying a lot of fresh green vegetables every time you shop for food. Then leave out the usual junk foods: sugary, starchy fried goo that is devoid of nutrition and actually causes a lot of harm to your health and your waistline. This delicious recipe will transform boring veggies into gourmet delights for the family as well as guests you are hoping to impress. Green vegetables that suit all blood types include: green beans, courgettes, asparagus, broccoli, peas and spinach. They are freely available from supermarkets and should be eaten every day, being high in nutrition, low in calories and wonderful for quick dishes as well as snacks and soups.
