Products	Tips
Aloe Vera Juice	This is a balanced supplement, which is a great “Starter” for anyone who shows any interest in taking steps to improving their health or indicates that they are feeling a bit low in energy or has a sore throat. A great “Pick me up” and overall quick fix, top up or long term boost to the body on a daily basis. It is easy to drink as a shot (30ml); morning & or evening, either before or with meals. A great mix with freshly squeezed orange or fresh apple juice and kids, especially those with allergies, can enjoy the benefits as well. It is a body balancer so it will help all bodily functions including reducing cholestrol. For detox and weight loss purposes, it is recommended to increase the initial dosage of the aloe juice to between 90 & 120ml each day with the evening dosage divided up in two lots of 30ml; one with the evening meal; and one dose before bed; and then cut it back to the 60ml once the body is more balanced; which should not take more than 3- 6 weeks. Someone who is feeling even slightly bloated, or has abdominal pain & gas; also heart burn & indigestion or has an irritable bowel, will get immediate relief from drinking the Aloe juice. Preferably in this case, it is best to sip it with meals, especially in the evening. A third dose of aloe may be necessary in the initial stages of taking the aloe for these discomforts, taken at lunch or before bed. Carrying extra weight is not comfortable and the aloe is very effective in reducing the measurements of the waist line and getting the weight to come off. It definitely helps the person who is inclined to retain water, for no particular reason and relieves the discomfort in the leg areas, where water retention & knee/ankle swelling is more evident. The massage lotion, with the aloe juice, is a combined relief for these symptoms. Lots of people have joint issues and inflammation. In this case, the aloe juice in conjunction with the Joint Eze is very effective; Again, adding the massage lotion to this package to rub on the joint areas, gives very rewarding and quick results. Patricia has had excellent results with all ages, as many of her clients are back with none or much less joint pain. Personally, Patricia drink the aloe juice, without fail, twice a day; in the morning early and in the evening with her dinner. Unfortunately, she has a very poor immune system & a lung condition with related allergy type sinus. She also suffered badly from a severe irritable bowel, constipation & haemorrhoids; even though she had a healthy diet. So the problem is definitely more stress related for her. The incredible positive change in her health since she has taken the aloe juice has been steady and continuous, with no more pain in the abdominal area and excellent energy levels & general health. She attributes this directly to the aloe juice. For babies and toddlers, take between 2 ½ ml and 5 ml (half to one teaspoon) daily for general well being and good health; or when a cold (runny/blocked nose); teething, tummy bug, rashes, poor appetite or allergies present themselves. The aloe juice can be added to the juice bottle or cup of juice, or a yoghurt, or taken straight; this depends on the mother and the child concerned. Children easily mimic mothers and in this case, a positive “lets enjoy our healthy fresh juice “ approach works wonders. The Aloe juice can be increased to 15ml daily ( 3 times 5ml over the day) if the mother feels that a sore throat or bad cold warrants it. Having plenty of fluid is always recommended, therefore adding the aloe juice into non-carbonated, preferably fresh beverage can be given regularly over the day.
Quantum fx	Take it as prescribed on bottle and sometimes twice a day; incredibly beneficial in the treatment of adult thrush and recurring poor immune system responses, as in fighting upper respiratory infections; always getting a cold or sinus or sore throat. Patricia also recommends to combine this supplement with the aloe juice. Mothers who have young children at crèche or pre-school often get sick as a result of the exposure their children have. So it is good for them to be on the supplement for a month or two and then give it a break.
Premium AntiOxidant	The most outstanding and best supplement for free radical damage to the system, both preventative as well as healing. For the Diabetic, the selenium and the CoQ10 in the antioxidant helps with the pancreas and heart disease which they are prone to. A great supplement to recommend to the partner/ spouse. Nowadays, many men are aware of the dangers of heart disease, they will find that the energy boost and the resulting confidence in their improved health is worth the small effort of taking such a high quality health supplement.
Daily Essentials	A must for all of us, hence the term “Essential”. In conjunction with a balanced diet, it is the best preventive measure for long term well being and consistent energy and balanced health. Contains chromium and hence, helps with lowering cholesterol mildly. Take a minimum of at least 1 Daily Essential per day or in some cases, take two of it per day depending on the state of health. In the winter months, it is recommended to take 2, especially if you are struggling with energy & colds.
Formula 4 Kids	Some parents will break the supplement in half for easier chewing and get their children to take the supplement when they take theirs. This is also a good opportunity to teach their children about the basic of good nutrition and the effect of poor eating habits on health.
OptiW8 Meal Replacement	Have two scoops, once a day, of this incredibly healthy, versatile, nourishing & tasty weight loss shake; works best for breakfast or lunch. It’s quick and easy for the morning rush and convenient at the office. You feel comfortably energised and satisfied with OPTIW8 & adding yoghurt, fruit pulp or a teaspoon of dissolved cocoa or carob provides a variety of flavours and different “Smoothie” type textures. The Psyllium content makes it super good for the bowels & cholesterol levels. Having it once a day is the best choice; and by making this highly nutritious shake and one of your six healthy food contacts, over a day, you will be assured of weight loss and well being.( 3 main meals & 3 snacks); Once your weight is in the healthy range, you can continue to use the shake once a day, to maintain your health. This is an exceptionally nutritious food supplement, with ideal ratios of nutrients and plant derived enzymes, so it’s easily digested and very convenient. For a person with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), OptiW8 Meal Replacement helps ease abdominal cramp and daily bowel movements. In addition to that, The Cleanse & Revive Tea and Sharp Mind assist in lifting the anxiety, which partly caused IBS in the first place.
Cleans & Revive Tea	A cup of Cleanse & Revive tea is good to help swallow your supplements with. Try & use at least 3 bags of the cleanse & revive tea daily and you will find you can get 2/3 cups of tea out of a bag if it is steeped long enough. Calculate your tea intake as part of your water quota for the day. It has helped many of Patricia’s clients to get off the coffee addiction in which they tend to use one bag per cup (a much stronger brew). A slice of lemon is also a great touch and during summer, it is great as an iced tea.
JointEze Plus	This supplement has shown Patricia the quickest and most radical results for knees, shoulder and elbow joint issues, particularly after she had had a bicycle fall which resulted in bursitis in the shoulder & elbow. Ease of Movement and pain relief were almost immediate,(within 10 days); and it seemed to give long term relief. All 3 capsules can be taken at night for the best results.
CalMag Super Absorb	In conjunction with Joint Eze, this is a sure answer to sustained bone health, confidence in the body’s ability to move and being able to do the weight bearing exercises into age. For most Diabetics, they usually carry additional weight and hence, their joints, knees and sleeping patterns are seriously affected. Thus, taking CalMag together with Joint Eze will help ease the symptoms caused by it.
Vitamin C1000	Definitely provides a boost to the immune system. For someone with an Auto Immune disease, this supplement gives the best results if taken regularly and often on a daily basis. This supplement is highly recommended in the winter months and to be taken once a day, until the body seems to be coping better. Afterwards, you can put it aside until it is needed again. Rest and plenty of water are essential when taking this supplement. A combination with the aloe juice will also give outstanding results and improved long term health.
Cold & Flu Relief	The one supplement that should be on every person’s shelf. To be taken until the symptoms of poor health are starting to improve.
Sharp Mind	To relieve the stress of modern living, hectic schedules and the many additional jobs we pick up over the day. Good for focusing attention, lowering stress symptoms and bringing a calmness to the individual. One capsule of Sharp Mind is taken in the morning and then an additional one can be taken at around 2pm when the lull sets into the system, during which people usually get tired and irritable. Many of Patricia’s clients have gotten excellent results when their year 12 children used this supplement regularly or for a short period over the more intense part of their study year.
