CUSTOMER BULLETIN (nine)  Spring 2007

From David Coory, author of the nutrition book "Stay Healthy by Supplying What's Lacking in Your Diet" and Managing Director of Zealand Publishing House.

In my research for the major update of my "Stay Healthy ..."  book next year, I’m constantly finding new and interesting facts about health. The internet is such a powerful tool for health research, especially in the way it allows ordinary people to publicly share what has worked for them.

I plan to include a Health Hint in my bulletins in future. So here is the first one, on preventing the terrible
affliction of Migraine headaches. It also works with common tension headaches.

The main causes of Migraine are:

1. Lack of magnesium in the diet.

2. Insufficient water due to the diuretic effect of sweet beverages and caffeine drinks.

3. The food additive MSG (621).

The triggers for Migraine are; a marked change in barometric pressure, anxiety, a disturbed sleep, three factors often linked.

To prevent Migraines

1. Ensure you obtain enough magnesium each day (men 500 mg, women 400 mg, children 200 mg). My "Stay Healthy..." book lists magnesium-rich foods and how much they contain. Magnesium is however lacking in modern foods.

Best sources are brazil nuts, almonds, taro, sweet corn and pumpkin seeds. Our CAA has 80 mg. A cheap supplement source is Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts) which is 13% magnesium.

Magnesium, like calcium, is a relaxing mineral and enhances our sleep, reduces anxiety, and often prevents leg muscle cramps.

2. Drink an equivalent amount of plain water for every sweet beverage or caffeine drink you have each day.

3. Avoid MSG (621) (monosodium glutamate). This flavour enhancer has the opposite effect of calming magnesium, and often causes sleep disturbance. MSG is known scientifically as an excito-toxin because of its stimulating and harmful effects on the brain. It is nowadays added to almost every processed savory food to enhance taste and camoflouge off flavours. It is even added to baked beans, but is mostly found in processed meats such as sausages, saveloys, luncheon, hamburger and their sauces. It is not required to be listed as an additive in NZ foods.

I think you will come to love our new product RealSalt once you taste it. It is really a unique product and worth buying for the taste alone. But the health benefits of this salt are well proven.

Some nutritionists describe refined salt as one of the world’s ‘three deadly white foods’. The other two being refined white sugar and refined white flour. In refining all these three products, almost all the valuable minerals are lost.

RealSalt’s website www.realsalt.com is just crammed full of testimonials from healthy and satisfied users. These users often report reduced high blood pressure, which is significant.

These two new products 7-Day-Iron and Boron +Selenium are proving popular. Just remember that the 7-Day-Iron is intended to be taken only once, or perhaps twice a week.

Due to unforeseen delays with containers and labels we were embarrassed in not having these two products ready on time for our last catalogue and I do apologise for that. In future we plan to have any new product sitting on our shelves before a catalogue goes out. (RealSalt is sitting on our shelves right now.)

We did have good stocks of the impressive new, top-of-the-line Tanita InnerScan 543 (see back page). But we quickly ran out.

We have a new shipment of these popular high tech scales due early August.

Tanita instruction booklets are exceptionally clear, but if you should ever need help with these scales, just give Kerry our Tanita importer in Dunedin a quick call on 0800 263 9328. His expert advice will soon put you right.

Just a reassurance that the details of your credit card are held securely by DPS, NZ’s largest and most security conscious card processor. We do not retain your card details ourselves, only the last four digits for identification.

At present we are sending you four catalogues a year. However we are more than happy to send you, or your family and friends, extra catalogues at any time. Just call us on 0800 140-141, or fax us on 0800 140-142, or use our web page order form.

For speedy resolving of order queries, or to answer your product questions, our friendly, outgoing staff would rather you freephone, or fax your query to them, than to email them.

If you are on the internet, you will find answers to most questions about our products on our website under the menu item FAQ (which stands for Frequently Asked Questions).

Also there are order peaks around 9 am, 12 pm and 5 pm which sometimes may result in you being asked to hold for a short period. Outside these peaks there should not be a problem.

My newly republished book (strictly for women) "Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood" is also available on our website now.

It is a free PDF file download, 4.6 MB in total size, or you can download it chapter by chapter. There is no cost, but a $10 donation is gratefully accepted if you feel the book is of value to you. You can make this donation through the order page.

The ten Fascinating Womanhood principles in this book, revealed through Angela’s true, love story have saved and enhanced numerous marriages. (The book is not in print.)

This well researched book "Laugh With Health" has sold very well and we have had many favourable comments from our customers.

I hope to meet the Australian author Manfred Koch in Queensland during August. He’s planning a promotional book tour of NZ in Sept, so you may hear him on the radio or see him on TV.

Just a reminder, that with any order you place, you can request a Post-It-On gift pack of 10 Saliva pH Test Strips to be sent free to any family or friend who are not yet one of our customers. See page 22 of our catalogue for more details.

It is vitally important for good health that your pH be up around the 7.0 mark. The pH scale grows exponentially. A pH of 7.0 is ten times more alkaline than a pH of 6.0. Therefore your body cells can retain a whole lot more oxygen. Some researchers say as much as 15 times more oxygen for each small 0.1 increase in pH.

Common sense has prevailed after all. These regulations would have resulted in a significant price increase in CAA.

Brett Elliot the Herbalist and I are still working on the new SafeSlim weight loss product. We have so far developed a safe formula that reduces appetite and the desire for sweet foods for the majority of people. We are now comparing this against the world’s leading herbal appetite reducer Hoodia.

Warmest regards and good health,

David Coory.
