Hi Natural Wayer,

There are only 10 days to the Johannesburg Natural Health Conference and 17 days to the Cape Town Conference, with Dr (Professor Emeritus) Colin Campbell and Dr Pam Popper. I am so looking forward to hearing them both speak.. live.

Make sure you get there! Go to www.inhc.co.za or book directly at www.naturalway.co.za

It is that time of the year again, when people are looking to study nutrition (although you can enroll at any time), so make a point of checking out our Academy of Natural Health at www.intacademynaturalhealth.com.

Some great news is that the price remains unchanged and if you do both the Natural Health and Nutrition and the The Natural Health Consulting courses you get an even better price. You are also able to do the course in individual modules or pay on budget on your credit card to accomodate your budget.

The assignments are done in your own time and you simply email them to us, when completed. We award a certificate of completion. Many have gone on to help others as natural health consultants or coaches and have found a rewarding occupation. Others do the first course simply so that they can be in control of their health and maybe help their families.

There is at this time no international association or organization that oversees any nutrition courses. Even if you study dietetics in one country, you cannot automatically practice in another country, but as a natural health consultant, you are able to consult and coach in any country as long as you do not diagnose or prescribe. We already have several people in various countries who do so. Check it out...

For those of you wanting to get your body back in shape and your health where it should be read on, this email is for you!

We have several detox options you can follow and if you are inspired to take it further, Mark and I are involved in a program to prepare a group of people to fast at our local church for the month of February. I know that sounds radical, but it will be more like 3 weeks of preparation, with a Fit 4 God seminar over 2 Saturday mornings and the last week of focused fasting, with 7 options to choose from. Contact us on fast@naturalway.co.za for details or attend the service this Sunday at Life church in Somerset West at 8.30 am or 10.30am. We will send you a program free of charge with a commitment sheet for the month of February and you can join in the chat room at www.lifechurch.co.za

Then from Jean below is a warning we all can heed.

Dear Mary-Ann

You may recall that I was not well last year for some time. Well, after 6 months of specialists, many tests and a fair amount of funds, I eventually discovered that I was suffering withdrawal symptoms from medication known as 'Librax' which was prescribed for me by a gastrologist who said it was 'a fairly old-fashioned medication but it still worked quite well". I was given a repeat prescription for 12 months which was repeated for another 12 months. I recently discovered that it should not be prescribed for longer than 4 weeks

Little did I know that it contained Benzodiazepine which has been described to be more addictive than heroine or cocaine! The medication had always been dispensed in a little bottle without any insert so I had never read of the dangers.

I am still dizzy, have severe sinusitis, have a popping sensation in my head, cant think straight, am sleepy during the day, feel the sound of my voice vibrating in my head, feel my teeth are falling out and cannot exercise, especially take a gentle walk. I am probably operating at 20% of my previous capacity!

The reason I am writing is to warn people to research the medication doctors prescribe and we so trustingly take. I suppose best of all, I should have followed all your advice and done things 'The Natural Way'.

Wishing you all the best,

Jean

THE BIG DETOX

So you have overindulged, been fed up a storm by your mother, granny, aunt, mother-in-law, yourself, and now what to get on track.

One of the best programs I have ever worked on is the 100 days to health program (www.100daystohealth.com) and we have seen the most amazing results. It is a long term program that helps you make the slow transition to a healthy lifestyle over 100 days. Go to www.100daystohealth.com for a complete week by week with instructions and recipes with daily motivation program.
