Hello everyone from Nature's Sunshine Products. I hope that you are well on this rather unseasonably cold spring day in May. Won't the "snowbirds" be surprised when they return to the northeast to find the weather so cold and damp? We did have several weeks of lovely spring weather, however and with it comes the dreaded POLLEN ALLERGIES. Our bodies often can't keep up with the significant changes in weather. When we go from no pollen in the winter months to MEGA pollen in April and May, then our bodies are in trouble. Fortunately, Nature's Sunshine Products has several products to assist you. One of my favorites is Histablock. It is as effective as any over the counter allergy medication with no side effects. When you are sneezing, try 1 capsule. If you are a big person, try 2. It should assist you within about 20 minutes. Don't take any too late at night; as some people find that they are too "perky" to get to sleep. Then there are several homeopathics that NSP makes especially for allergies. They are: Allergy (for just about everything); Hayfever Pollen for spring and summer pollen allergies; Mold, Yeast, Dust for these allergies, as well. This product is also very helpful for late summer and fall allergies because of the molds and mold spores found in high numbers at that time of the year. Allergies take quite a toll on the adrenal glands. These glands have a myriad of functions and most people's adrenal glands do not function very well. NSP's Adrenal Support and Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) assist the adrenal glands to function better and are recommended for people with allergies.

Currently, in the northeast there is a nasty bronchial condition spreading like wildfire. One would think it was still winter. This is a bacterial infection, so many people will be offered very strong antibiotics. To avoid this illness, or if you have it now, try some of NSP's targeted anti-bacterial products: Echinacea Purpurea, Thim-J, Trigger Immune. Some general immune support is also helpful, like: Colostrum with Immune Factors, Germanium Combination, Noni Juice or Thai-Go juice. Guardian essential oil is also quite helpful. Rub a little on the thymus area, the balls of the feet, or diffuse. If you do end up taking antibiotics, make sure to take one of NSP's find acidophilus products.

Springtime is also a great time for a Detoxification Program. In many cultures, detoxification was/is a normal Fall and Spring ritual. Detoxification prepares the body for the indoor lifestyle of the winter months and the active lifestyle of the summer months. This would be a great time to do a Tiao He Cleanse (a 10-day liver/colon cleanse). CleanStart is also an excellent cleansing program. Take acidophilus with the cleanses. Cleansing will probably cause you to lose a few of those winter pounds. So, do it now and you will be ready for the beach. ***If you suspect that you have a serious illness, always seek supervision from a healthcare professional before beginning a cleansing program.

I have a new machine at my office for Detoxification. It is the IONCleanse machine. Here is some information about it:

IONCleanse Footbath: an ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron, which creates a magnetic field capable of attaching to and neutralizing oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are extracted from the body through the process called osmosis. Osmosis is the scientific term that is used to describe the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. In this case, the higher concentration refers to the ion field that is set up by placing the array (the little machine) into the water while running the unit. And no, we don't get electrocuted!

We speculate that ions generated by the IONCleanse travel through the body attaching themselves to a multitude of toxic substances, thereby neutralizing their positive or negative charge. It may be possible to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by a lifetime of toxic buildup in the body (assuming the symptoms are caused by toxic buildup...many symptoms are not, like a broken leg).

An excerpt from the Medical Journalist Report of Innovative Biologics by Morton Walker, DPM:

"Most health professionals who practice Complementary and Alternative Medicine affirm: Aging is a gradual accumulation of toxic chemicals and other substances in the body, which cause the genome destabilization and resultant catastrophic breakdown of tissue homeostasis (balance). Such an insidious, inescapable process is the reason that detoxification is now accepted as a major component of anti-aging medicine.

Harmful manufactured substances that remain unrecognized by the cells tend to linger in the body. They become lodged in organ tissues as ever-present noxious elements. Most are industrial poisons, which lie dormant while they accumulate, and the human body possesses no way to remove them on its own."

An excerpt from the Medical Journalist Report of Innovative Biologics by Morton Walker, DPM from and interview with Dr. Karen Kelley:

"Most of us are so loaded with toxins, detoxification using the IONCleanse actually makes energy for healing available. Toxic overload diminished markedly for patients: the deleterious body ions are attracted out of the tissues through the feet and go into the water's ionic components. The footbath water changes color, which is a manifestation of toxin removal from the body's tissues. Reading the water's color change is diagnostic of what is being released by the patient."

Color or Particle

• Yellow-green - detoxifying from the kidney, bladder, urinary tract
• Orange - detoxifying from the joints
• Brown - detoxifying from the liver, tobacco, cellular debris
• Black - detoxifying from the liver
• Dark Green - detoxifying from the gallbladder
• White foam - lymphatic system
• White cheese-like particles - yeast
• Black flecks - heavy metals
• Red flecks - blood clot material

I now have this machine at my office and everyone loves it!

Contraindications for IONCleanse

• Pregnant and Lactating Women
• Medication for Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Seizures
• Any person who is on heartbeat regulating medication
• An person who has had an organ transplant
• Serious disorders and conditions please speak with me personally, if you come to my office

We have been having a lot of fun at my office using the IONCleanse machine. Amazing things have come out of people. Better out than in! You are welcome to come in for a session. It takes about 1/2 hour (you better allow 45 minutes) and make sure you eat something before you come in. The cost is $50 per session. So, call for and appointment for an IONCleanse footbath at 212.580.3051.

Happy Spring!

To your health,

Dr. Karen Purcell
