Thicker, Shinier, Healthier Hair

Impressive Results for Hübner's Silicea Capsules: After 6 months taking Silicea, hair was measured by trichogram as 13% thicker and was visually perceived as 50% better to patients and their physicians.

A new study carried out on 55 women with measurably thin hair at the University Hospital, Hamburg, has shown impressive results for Hübner's Silicea. There was a significant increase in hair thickness, lustre and appearance and a reduction in the psychological stress caused by worrying about thin hair.

'The results verify that hair volume increases and the psychological stress imposed on participants because of their thin hair are reduced during the 6-month course of the Silicea treatment. Considering the extremely good tolerance of Silicea, the preparation can be used without reservation for the effective treatment of thin hair. It can be assumed that this treatment can prevent brittle hair.'
Prof. Augustin MD, University Hospital Complex, Hamburg

Brittle nails, weak hair and sagging skin all suggest a deficiency of silica, the trace element that provides elasticity and strength in connective tissue. If silica levels need topping up, it‚s not just a question of healthy eating. Silica is available in some foods but it is insoluble and thus difficult to absorb. Few people get enough silica to make up the 20mg of silica that is lost each day, as silica levels diminish with age. So if hair, skin and nails are causing problems, a silica supplement could be the answer.

Hübner‚s Silicea Capsules contain the equivalent of one tablespoon of Silicea liquid, the amount taken by participants in the study, in a convenient form. Hübner‚s Silicea is special because it is free from all artificial ingredients and preservatives. The capsules form a colloidal suspension of silica in the stomach, the most effective form for maximum absorption. Silica exists in the body in a colloidal form when we are young, giving skin its youthful elasticity. As we get older, it mainly exists in its inactive form in the hair and nails.

By boosting colloidal silica, supplies to hair, skin and nails are replenished. Silicea capsules should be taken for at least twelve weeks to guarantee a sufficient supply in the body and to see results.

Hübner‚s Silicea is also available as a liquid for internal use £6.99 200ml. Hübner‚s Silicea Capsules are distributed in the UK by Bioforce, price £11.99 for 30 capsules. They are available from health stores. For stockists phone 01294 277344

Health Benefits Of Coffee

Fulcrum Health Limited has been appointed the exclusive U.K. and European distributor of the Voyava Republic™ range of Spava Organic Fortified Coffees.

Coffee is big business around the world with current global sales estimated at $100 billion!

The sales of speciality coffees packaged for retail outlets in particular have grown dramatically over recent years, sparked by many consumers choosing to have that 'Coffee House' experience at home.

However, consumers are also becoming much more conscious of their health and lifestyle choices. To recognise this, Voyava Republic™ has created the organic range of Spava coffees which, using a patented process, are naturally fortified with vitamins, minerals and herbs to assist consumers in achieving a healthier lifestyle while still enjoying the daily cup of coffee.

Voyava Republic™ starts with the very highest quality organic green Arabica coffee beans from Latin America. After careful roasting, the beans are rolled in a tumbler with the other natural ingredients in a liquid form. (During roasting, a green coffee bean doubles its size and loses a significant amount of liquid, it is appropriate therefore that some liquid is re-introduced).

The liquid nutrients are drawn into the whole bean and the beans are now fortified and ready for grinding and packaging. Spava coffee is currently available in four varieties: Clarity - a robust blend with Gingko Biloba and White Tea which aid coffee's natural ability in increasing mental alertness andshort term memory; Flexibility - a rich, smooth blend with Chondroitin sulphate and MSM to help overall joint health in the body; Metabolism - a full-bodied blend with Green Tea and Guarana Extracts, Inositol, and Chromium Nicotinate that help provide a metabolism boost to promote natural weight loss by increasing your body's ability to burn calories; and Immunity - a lively blend with Rosehips, Echinacea, and Siberian Ginseng to help strengthen your body's natural immune system and promote better overall wellness.

SPAVA coffees offer the discerning retailer several advantages in the marketplace - no other coffees are fortified in such a natural, healthy way nor with such eye-catching packaging and with a very fair pricing structure.

All four coffees have a recommended retail price of £3.95 per 227g bag of ground beans.

Parasol Sun Care

'Take the uncertainty out of sun protection with Parasol 20+ and Parasol Kids 25+'. Parasol is a range of durable, moisturising, waterproof sun lotions that only have to be applied once a day, whether sunbathing, swimming or playing sport. Parasol is a filter, not a total sun block. That means it can help promote a lasting tan, whilst protecting the skin, even for those with fair complexions who burn easily. It is silicone based making it durable when compared to water or cream based products. Tests show that Parasol has a level of skin coverage that cannot be achieved by creams.

Parasol is easy to use and it's economical too. A 200ml bottle of Parasol will last up to 2 weeks. By comparison, if properly applied, a bottle of conventional sun lotion will only last 2-3 days, as it should be applied every two hours and after swimming to ensure adequate protection. This makes Parasol great for children as one application provides long-lasting all day protection, whatever they get up to. Parasol Kids 25+ is specially formulated for children's delicate skin, is non-sticky and resistant to water, which makes it ideal for children whether they are swimming, playing sports or on the beach.


Here are some of the reasons why Parasol is so effective.
Safe 4 star protection also meets UVA Australian standard 2604 and the European DIN standard for UVB

Waterproof durable in water and high temperatures

One Application a Day just one application 20 minutes before exposure to the sun

Active Anti-Ageing System contains 5 cold-pressed herbal extracts, organic sunscreens and a protective film to maintain lipid moisture levels. Leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth

Allows Tanning designed to filter most of the sun's harmful burning rays

Non-staining doesn't mark clothes or furniture

Sand Resistant quickly absorbed with no sticky residue

Insect Repellent contains insect repellents and is fragrance free

Parasol was developed in Ireland for the country's fair-skinned population, following rigorous research and independent testing. It is not tested on animals. Parasol is a best seller in Ireland where it is recommended by doctors and dermatologists. It was the chosen sun protection for the Irish Olympic Sailing Team.

There are Parasol products for all skin types, including children's and very fair skins.

Parasol Kids 25+ is different because just one application a day provides long-lasting protection. Parasol Kids is specially formulated for children‚s delicate skin, is non-sticky and resistant to water, which makes it ideal for children whether they are swimming, playing sports or on the beach. One 200ml bottle will provide enough sun protection for a fortnight. Parasol is not just for holidays but should be used all summer long, at school, in the park, in the garden, wherever the sun is shining.
Parasol Kids has an innovative broad spectrum and photostable filtering system to shield even the fairest young skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Its unique silicone base makes it waterproof, perspiration-resistant and non-staining. It's enriched with moisturisers to help keep skin soft. Parasol is easy to apply with no greasy residue or streaking.

Parasol provides safe 4 star protection that also meets both the UVA Australian Standard 2604 and the UVB European DIN Standard. Long term sun exposure is a primary factor in premature ageing but even children‚s skin will benefit from the Active Anti-Ageing System in Parasol products, herbal extracts that reinforce the skin‚s natural UV defences and neutralise cell-damaging free radicals.

There is a full range of Parasol products for all the family including Parasol 20+ and Parasol Sport 25+. Parasol was the official sun protection product for the Irish Sailing team in the 2004 Olympic Games

Parasol 20+ £12.90 100ml, £21.00 200ml
Parasol Kids 25+ £13.50 100ml £22.00 200ml (suitable for children over 2 years old)

LivingFuel Rx Super Greens Superfood Powder

The Living Fuel company (http://www.LivingFuel.com) offers a whole meal superfood powder that's excellent for blending into smoothies, chocolate shakes or just plain water. It contains whole food concentrates, superfoods like spirulina and sea vegetables, enzymes, probiotics, amino acids, herbs, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, all without using any refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, soy protein or other offensive ingredients.

This is an independent review based on the personal experience of Mike Adams. The author has no financial relationship whatsoever with Living Fuel, nor does NewsTarget (http://www.newstarget.com) sell this product or earn any commission from its sale.

What you need to know - Just the facts
• LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is a superfood powder based on non-GMO brown rice and yellow pea protein, with numerous superfoods, phytonutrients and other nutritional elements.
• It's sweetened with a combination of xylitol, mannitol, FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and stevia. (They are all natural sweeteners.)
• The taste is relatively mild, with a detectable ‘green’ flavour, but not nearly as strong as barley grass or wheat grass. It blends extremely well with chocolate smoothies using raw cacao powder. See my Superfood Smoothies book for recipes.
• The price may seem steep at first, but compared to more popular superfood products made with up to 50% filler (soy lecithin, usually), LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is very reasonably priced.
• Many ingredients are organic (spirulina, sea vegetables, herbs, etc.), and most nutrients are food-sourced, such as silica from horsetail herbs, or zinc from Krebs cycle bionutrients.
• The forms of the nutrients used in LivingFuel Rx Super Greens are the expensive, premium forms. For example, vitamin B-12 is present as methylcobalamin (the good form) rather than cyanocobalamin (the cheap form). Coenzyme Q10 is also present at 25mg per serving, and LivingFuel Rx Super Greens even delivers grape seed, skin and stem extracts containing resveratrol (which are outstanding for heart health).
• The extra enzymes and probiotics enhance the digestibility and bioavailability of the nutrients found in LivingFuel Rx Super Greens.
• LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is suitable for vegetarians or people with gluten sensitivities. It contains no animal products and no wheat.

Beyond the label
(Statements of opinion by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger)

• LivingFuel Rx Super Greens contains more than a thousand phytonutrients that can help prevent and even reverse serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and many more.
• The organic sea vegetables, spirulina, green tea, selenium and zinc ingredients all help prevent breast cancer, far better than any prescription drug or conventional cancer therapy.
• As a meal replacement product, LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is for useful for strengthening liver function, boosting cellular energy, detoxifying the body, boosting thyroid function to promote healthy weight loss, balancing body pH, cleansing the digestive tract and protecting the circulatory and nervous systems from oxidative damage.
• Anyone battling cancer should, in my opinion, supplement with anti-cancer herbs and foods such as LivingFuel Rx Super Greens. Although it is not a cancer treatment, it has so many anti-cancer nutrients that it offers a healthy nutritional base for supporting the patient's natural healing process and overcoming cancer. (And despite what oncologists still mistakenly believe, antioxidants do not interfere with chemotherapy. They only protect healthy cells, not cancer cells.)
• Anyone taking prescription drugs, especially statin drugs for high cholesterol, needs to be taking a superfood supplement like LivingFuel Rx Super Greens. Why? Because most prescription drugs - and statin drugs in particular - cause nutritional deficiencies. LivingFuel Rx Super Greens helps overcome those deficiencies, giving your body the nutrients it needs to return to full health.
• ‘I strongly recommend LivingFuel Rx Super Greens to anyone who wants to improve their health. I now drink one scoop of LivingFuel each morning with a chocolate avocado smoothie, and I drink a second scoop after a heavy workout. I give this product my highest recommendation and am now recommending it to family and friends. It replaces more than thirty individual vitamins or supplements.’ - Mike Adams
