A Quote!

It is always neat to find a quote that makes you think deeper, or

inspires you to do better. I for one, have many of these quotes

around my home and office and even make them into bookmarks. In

response to a letter I had been sent, one of my reply sentences caught

me. I wanted to share this with you! Perhaps this is

one of my small quotes to share!

“You Cannot Escape Illness, if you do not Seek Wellness.”

Just wanted to share!

Open House

WOW what a weekend! Thank you to everyone who came to speak,

share, and who spent the entire day with us. It was a wonderful

experience to share so much with so many of you!

THANK YOU again for trusting in us!

Allopathic /Natural

I feel very inspired to share with you a few thoughts. Please

understand that I have been in pursuit and living a natural way

of living for decades. I have sought the opinion of medical

doctors in my years of learning and raising children, and feel

quite confident that with all I have learned in the past four

years, I could have avoided most of my few in number trips to the

doctor over the past 15 years. Why? Because of one MAJOR

difference between Allopathic Doctors and Natural Doctors:

Allopathics treat symptoms: Natural modalities look for and treat

the cause of the symptoms.

Unfortunately, doctors in the medical field simply are never

taught HOW to use herbs and food to drain, de-toxify, nourish,

and rebuild a thyroid, gall bladder, tonsils, or any other organ.

They are taught to remove them. Often, they have told their

clients they do not “need” tonsils, the appendix, or a gall

bladder. These are false statements. Each organ plays a divine

role in balancing your body and providing you with vibrant

health.

Sadly, most medical doctors are given four hours – if they are lucky

– of instruction on foods related to health in their 12 years

of college. Currently, in some medical schools they now must

read a book by a natural doctor, just for exposure.

Medical Doctors are not instructed that eating cashews may do the same

as taking Prozac. They do not learn that milk and dairy are the

number one cause of ear infections, nasal concerns, or sinus

problems, and that by simply removing dairy – the child may

never need ear tubes. They do not learn that GMO foods coat each

cell, not allowing proper nourishment or toxin removal from each

of your 70 trillion cells. They simply do not learn that eating

a living food diet can reverse 99% of ALL type 2 diabetes, and

can cut cancer practically out of the American dictionary.

Living foods create life, nourishment, water and drainage to each

cell of your body. Cancer and chronic dis-ease cannot live in a healthy body with a

high pH. There are many ways to obtain a healthy body, and

eating more fruits and veggies is only one way! But alas, this is

not an article on different ways of fighting cancer. (Come to

our Chronic disease class the fourth Thursday!)

So why is Nature’s Garden different? How come your friends,

yourselves, your husbands and your children visit with us or come

to classes at Nature’s Garden? Because WE HAVE studied natural

health. We HAVE, and DAILY live these principles each and every day.

We live with great health and energy!

All of us here at Nature’s Garden use natural forms of health

care to keep our bodies balanced and nourished. We use

chiropractors, massage therapists, meditation or prayer,foot detoxing,

thermal therapy, saunas (many days a week), emotional release work

and the vitality bed. Along with wholesome natural foods,

we believe we have each found our own balance in creating our own health.

Chris, our master herbalist, scientist and engineer is a VAST

WAREHOUSE of endless information and testimony of the healing

qualities of herbs. Chris is an amazing human being, and we are

honored that he is part of our team.

You hear from Jen and I enough to know our qualifications and

experience. We believe the body has the power and capability to

HEAL FROM CHRONIC DIS-EASE as well as viruses and bacterial

infections. We do not need a white coat to know that is

possible, and to share with others how that can work for you.

If you are intimidated by doctors, do not be. Recently, we have

witnessed two of our clients receive the cancer label. One came

in immediately and started detox therapy and major food changes.

She was feeling so much better within days! For weeks she

improved and was feeling powerful. Her husband however, did not

support her, would not attend any classes, and together with

their family doctor, “bullied” this poor woman into radiation

and breast removal. She no longer goes out of the home, and her

life and energy has been drained from her. The other went as a

lamb to the slaughter – led and intimidated by her family and doctor

into having work done THAT DAY.

Why? Because intimidation makes one party submissive, and the

other party dominant. Honestly, how many have purchased a car

when there was only intention of looking? Or purchased a time

share when they were only going in for the free dinner and movie

offered at the resort? The cancer industry is no different.

When you are given the cancer diagnosis, an intimidating fear of

urgency is always present. Will the doctor suggest you go home

and read on natural therapies? Drink quarts of lemon water? Oxygenate the

blood? Do they even ask what you have been eating or the stress

levels in your life? We hear the following all too often when we

consult with clients: “I was told I have cancer. They

never asked me anything about my lifestyle.”

Cancer does not grow in weeks, but rather in years. Cancer

should not be feared. It thrives on fear. Cancer is alive!

Respect it as such! The body creates cancer from what it has

been given. Cancer is a growth – yes, it is living, breathing,

growing, and real. The cells in cancer each have a respiratory

system, a lymphatic system, a neurological system, and every

single system you have. Cells are amazing, and each of them can

live independent of your body. Cells crave nourishment. They

need minerals and water. Give your cells what they need to heal!

CANCER CAN and IS HEALED DAILY in the natural world, from one end

of the globe to the next. Why? Because cancer is a symptom. You

can do one of two things with any symptom, you can treat the

symptom i.e.: cut out the cancer or burn the body with 2% acid

(chemotherapy), and then continue live a lifestyle exactly the same

as you did to acquire the symptom (cancers most always return)

….OR you can treat the cause. Your body is acidic. Your

thoughts are negative, you are living a stressful life, you do

not feel enough love, you do not give enough love, you do not

breathe well, and your body is screaming for attention.

I want you to know that YOU are empowered with the capability to

discern truth from error. YOU are empowered to detoxify and heal

one cell at a time. YOU can choose living food or dead foods.

YOU can choose a doctor or technician that promotes life and

wellness, or one that does not. YOU control your body, your

health and your wellbeing. No one else should have that control

over you!

If those you love do not share your beliefs, or your excitement,

do not let them squander your zest or quest for higher health.

Even we have watched friends turn away from us, or keep their

children away from our store and home, simply because they are

afraid to “expose” their family to natural foods and natural

health. Yesterday we received a letter from a friend who did not

want their older son to work for us at the upcoming Vibrant Life

Health Expo because of what they may learn. Did this hurt us?

Yes! Will this stop us? NEVER! Roger and I have both been in

the position you have. Jen, Chris and Joy, Cheri, Leah,

AnnaMaria, Renee, Chris H., Chad and all of our children have

needed to stand up for what we know works because we have

integrity and because we want to share HOPE with others! Yes, we

are different and hopefully we will stand out and encourage

others such as you, to stand firm in your health convictions.

You can help others. You can influence them simply by living your

life as an example.

Now, go and SHARE your enthusiasm for LIFE and Wellness because

you can!

Thank you all for your letters of love, and for sharing with us

your triumphs. We enjoy receiving them, and they help us each

day remember why we do what we do – for YOU!

To your great and powerful health,

Karen

Your friend - naturally!

What is HOMEOPATHY & How can it help Balance the Body’s ENERGY?
What is a MIASM & How it Affects Health?
Written by Jen ~Nature’s Garden CEDSA Technician

Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on energy. It assumes, that if a person shows symptoms of disease, these symptoms are not just a materiallyperceivable disease, but the expression of the disturbed “Vital Force”, the mysterious force – the energy of life, that makes the small but important difference between a dead and a living body. In order to heal, the Homeopathic belief is, one has to heal the vital force and not, like allopathic medicine states, just the symptoms.

Homeopathy regards the person's symptom profile as a systemic manifestation of an underlying chronic disorder called a miasm. Miasms are serious disturbances of what homeopaths call the person's vital force or life energy that are inherited from the past family generations. Miasms are like enemies entrenched, attacking us at our weak points, they recede and advance, advance and recede, while never seeming to tire or grow less. When miasms are active or dormant they affect us in acute, chronic or latent stages of health. In most chronic degenerate diseases, miasms are the number one CAUSE of there illness.

German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, who developed homeopathy in the early 1800's, believed that the parents' basic lifestyle, their emotional condition and habitual diet, and even the atmospheric conditions at the time of conception would affect the number and severity of miasms passed on to the child.

Hahnemann himself distinguished three miasms: the psoric, which he considered the most universal source of chronic disease in humans; the syphilitic; and the sycotic, which he attributed to gonorrhea. Later homeopaths identified two additional miasms, the cancernic and the tuberculinic. The remaining major source of miasms is allopathic medicine. Allopathy — Conventional medical treatment of disease symptoms that uses substances or techniques to oppose or suppress the symptoms.

It is thought that specific allopathic treatments--particularly smallpox vaccinations, cortisone preparations, major tranquilizers, and antibiotics--can produce additional layers of miasms in the patient's constitution.
Constitutional prescribing evaluates the person's current state or miasmic picture, and selects a remedy intended to correct or balance that state. The homeopath suggests a different remedy for each miasmic layer over time, but gives only one remedy at a time directed at the person's current state. The basic principle governing the prescription of each successive remedy is the law of similars, or "like heals like."

BALANCING YOUR ENERGY CREATES HARMONY IN THE BODY!

Top 11 CAUSES of the Body’s Health Issues:
• Miasms
• Poor Circulation
• Metabolic Acidosis
• Emotional Issues
• Musculoskeletal Issues
• Toxic Overburden (viral, bacterial, mold/fungus, heavy metals/mercury)

WATCH OUT!

As we did inventory this week I realized there are products we have that you simply may not know about! Coming in the next newsletter, we will explain the why’s of why we carry certain products and the how’s of how to use them! We research all the products in our store, and are anxious to share with you what we have learned. We look forward to 2012 as we bring in new lines of GMO free products for you and your family.

WE ARE MOVING!

The buzz is true. We have been looking at buildings in the West Bend, Slinger and Hartford area and are anxious to open a full service wellness center – complete with café soon, THIS YEAR!! We work with amazing people, and all of us are excited to expand what we offer. I asked before Christmas what you were interested in, and I ask again, please share! We have many ideas on who and what to bring into the center, but are always looking for suggestions. If you know of a Naturopath Doctor, MD that is interested in Natural Therapies, or any natural healing technique therapist who is looking to grow, please send them our way! ZuZu’s will be on the same site in the same building and open six days a week. We are even considering adding a drive through to the building! Now wouldn’t that be fun? “Can I have a shot of wheat grass and a kale salad to go? Oh, and a Blackout Burger and a chocolate almond shake for my spouse?” You can tell why we are so excited!

PLEASE add us to your list of things you pray for, and send out the message to others that we are looking to expand. We KNOW what can happen to thousands in the area as we open a larger center. We already have almost 1,000 on this mailing list alone, and this is one of five that we send letters to!

Our business partner is also quite excited at looking into building us the eco friendly green, state of the art retreat center we have been talking about for years. That will not start this year (we believe) but you can rest assured we are all still planning on that! SO MANY WAYS TO BRING INSPIRATION AND HEALTH TO YOU!

Many hours of research is going into the buildings, city codes, and what is currently offered and needed. Nevertheless, we are busy as usual in our current newly decorated Wellness Center and ready to help you regain your vibrant health!

WELLNESS CENTER SPECIAL!

FREE Vitality Tanning Session with Every $50.00 you spend in the grocery store from Friday December 9 – Friday December 16!

WHAT DO WE DO EACH DAY?

People often ask members of our family what supplements we use. I thought I would share with you what we do each day!

AFTER our quart of lemon water the members of our family 14 years on up take B12 each day (1-3 tablets), Bee Pollen (1-4 teaspoons), an oil of some sorts (Coconut oil, flax seed oil, fish oil) and Vitamin D3 (Many of us LOVE the Vitamin D3 vitality bed!) If we have not eaten a lot of sauerkraut (which we do) we will enjoy a synergy or take probiotics.

Our younger children have enjoyed the following for years: A B12 tablet that we smoosh in a spoon, vitamin D3 drops or tablet smooshed, Barleans Kids DHA oil ( FANTASTIC for the BRAIN!), and then a half to full teaspoon of a flavored plant oil from Barleans ( Mango Peach, Strawberry, etc.) They also have a dropper or two of Kid e Mins and a dropperful of our NEW Calcium for kids, and a few times a week a dropper or two of Kid e Mune. If for some weird reason they get “backed up” and have not had a bowel movement that day, they get Kid e Reg two times that day!

I tell you, as a mother there is no better feeling than knowing the children are well protected, and have strong immune systems! Oh, if they do get a sniffle? Then Kid e Well and oil of Oregano!

We do use other herbs if we feel we need to. I myself am using oil or Garlic and our Ear and Nerve formula, two drops of each, in my ears at night as I have had ringing in my ears since the beginning of training on the CEDSA. Too much to do! Now I wait the wondrous self healing that herbs bring, as we have witnessed countless times in the past.

We then head over to the blender for our green drink!

Jen and Heather are both enjoying their CEDSA detoxing and health program and feel GREAT! Heather just this morning (Heather is our intern and she lives with us for the next many months), said “I really feel a difference, I feel what is going on in my body, more in tune, and I have more energy. I feel like everything is in harmony.”

Ok, Jen wants to add because SHE is excited too “I had lower back pains when waking up in the morning, and after taking the support for the endocrine system (the adrenals) it feels great! My upper neck and shoulders and my Jaw had aches and pains. I had his for so many years and it is going away. I think everything is now working synergistically, and life is wonderful!”

Thanks for asking!

RAW COOKIE Recipes from somewhere! I made a few changes along the way…Enjoy!

Raw Chewy Shortbreads!
This is a chewy yummy shortbread.
Ingredients
• ½ cup cashews (I like Brazil nuts too…)
• ¼ cup coconut flakes, (grind into a powder in the blender first)
• ¼ cup sesame seeds or hemp seeds, (grind into a powder in the blender first)
• ¼ cup flax, (grind into a powder in the blender first)
• 2 Tbsp. agave nectar
• 2 soft pitted dates
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ½ -1 tsp. almond extract
• dash of sea salt
Directions
In a food processor, grind cashews, coconut, sesame and flax until it reaches a flour-like consistency. Add agave, dates, vanilla and sea salt, and process into a ball of dough.
Flatten the dough as though you were making traditional cut-out cookies. Cut the dough into whatever shape you want.
Dehydrate for at least 24 hours to make them nearly crisp, but still a little chewy (I always preferred the Chewy Chips Ahoy over the original).

Raw Thin Mints
Ingredients for the wafers:
• 1 cup almond meal or cashews or Brazil Nuts (grind cashews into a powder in the blender first)
• 1/4 cup coconut flakes, ground into a powder(grind into a powder in the blender first)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 Tbsp. agave nectar (or sweetener of choice)
• 2-3 soft pitted dates
• 1 tsp. peppermint extract
• dash of sea salt
• optional: add 1/8 cup flax seed meal ground fine

For the chocolate coating:
• 2 T cocoa powder
• 2 T raw agave syrup (or other sweetener of choice)
• 1/2 t coconut butter or coconut oil or other nut oil .... OR 1/2 t filtered water

Directions
In a food processor, combine almond meal, ground coconut and cocoa powder. Add the agave, dates, extract and sea salt, and process to create a ball of dough.

Flatten the dough into a sheet, and cut out cookie-sized circles. Put the cookies in your dehydrator, for 12 -24 hours flipping once, until crisp.

Now make the chocolate coating:

Mix the agave syrup and the oil or water together.

Slowly whisk the raw cacao powder into the agave syrup mixture, mixing it in until well-blended into a smooth sauce. The amount suggested here is a rough guideline. How much cacao powder you will ultimately use depends on the consistency you want.

Once the cookies are done, dip the them in the raw chocolate and allow to set in the freezer.

SAINT NICK WILL LOVE YOU
Saint Nick is going to enjoy all the goodies we have for him to use in his stockings this year! Check out the LARGE display at the register and fill those stockings with JOY! (and yummy yummy safe stuff!)

CEDSA FINDINGS
We named the CEDSA testing room “Safari Sunrise” for a reason! Every time we do a scan on someone we discover really neat things! A few things we found were quite interesting, but I will not share too much this newsletter. One thing we found was that quite a few people have arsenic in their systems. When we traced it to the source, we found it was from their soda! An article that I just read in the newspaper revealed that bottled apple juice was found to have arsenic as well. When foods are packaged and water is added, there is little to NO requirements in some states to meet safe criteria. Juices, sodas, and bottled waters are loaded with chemicals, including fluoride if bottled with city water, and the consumer has no idea! Having an Electro Dermo Stress Analysis is just like a safari as you discover where your strengths and weaknesses lie.

FOR ALL TESTS BEFORE JANUARY 1st, the price will remain at $150.00 AND you will receive a FREE Ionic Foot Bath or TWO Vit D Vitality Light Tanning sessions. Call today to schedule your appointment!

A NOTE ON WATER
As mentioned above, when you pick up a bottle of water at the gas station, you can almost be guaranteed there are chemicals in that water you would NEVER let enter your bodily system. If city water is not distilled, or run through an RO system, you are digesting your neighbor’s pharmaceuticals and chemicals that are added to city waters (including the toxic chemical fluoride) that can simply NOT be removed!

The GOOD news is that you can purchase a distiller here at Nature’s Garden, or from many places on-line. The Reverse Osmosis water systems are fine, but does not remove arsenic, bacteria, nitrates and viruses as distilled water does. Another choice? Nature’s Garden now offers TAYLA water fresh from the tap!

Our water results just came back with great findings. Our well has been labeled “Total Coliform Safe or Bacteriologically Safe”, we are free from E.Coli, floride and chemicals!

Bring your water container and fill up with TAYLA water for only $2.99 a gallon. Please visit our TAYLA water page on our website to learn the incredible benefits of this amazing technology! TESTIMONIAL: One of the families that have been drinking only TAYLA water for the last many months from our store had wonderful things happening. The father had numbness in his hands for years. By the third day all his numbness was gone! The wife started to detox rapidly, and the children (who were a bit skeptical) will not drink the city water any longer! They LOVE TAYLA and they feel the difference!

Now I am not making these claims, but you can read many testimonies on our website and other websites from those who do use TAYLA water! Please realize that by law we need to remind you that we (our products, our knowledge, or our wellness center features) cannot diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. But we promise YOU sure can! GET EDUCATED on everything you digest or absorb!

Note: Our family drinks both distilled water and TAYLA water each day. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the difference TAYLA water has made to our home. It was worth every penny we spent on that system! (A great Christmas gift for your home, the appliances, and the outside and inside of all who live there! Call us at 262-629-4300 if interested!)

GETTING EDUCATED
We had a TERRIFIC turn out to our Cancer and Chronic Disease class! 42 people joined in the first presentation of this cellular, quantum physics and technical class. So many more people wanted to come, and all of us were quite on fire, that I have decided to offer this class each month just as we do the Living with Energy class. More details to come! EXCITING!

ROSE WAS STOLEN AT NATIVITY
The Nativity display was so wonderful again this year with 754 nativities and the Streets of Bethlehem were just bustling with excitement and actors in period costumes. The tax collector was scary, and even stole Rose right from her father when he did not have enough money to pay taxes! He found some real quick! (Roger was the inn keeper……really neat!) Mary and Joseph did finally find place up in Roger’s stable behind the inn, and Rose directed them. It was so nice to see so many of you! We hope you enjoyed a jump start to the Reason for the Season! Merry Christmas! Next year: the first weekend after Thanksgiving!

ENJOY THE WEEK AND……
Remember Nature’s Garden for all your healthy, local, organic, safe supplements, and raw food needs!

Cancer: Friend or Foe? From Table to Cell – How Food and
Emotions Create Life!

You can stop living in fear and start living with hope! Discover
how cellular biology reveals the triggers to cancer, the truth
about genes and your genetic disposition, and learn uncovered
truths that have helped millions reverse chronic disease.

Learn how proteins influence every aspect of your life, where to
get them and how all life is influenced by them. What makes up a
cell? How do nutrients get into the cell? What is toxicity?
Are emotions tangible? What do they do to a cell? Join us for
an evening that can change your life, give you hope and help you
understand the power within YOU to heal! Class fee $20.00. But
as always, if money is an issue, please let us know so we can
work with you!

This is a new class in a series we have been creating. The
first class, Living With Energy: Never Be Sick Again!, has been
given to thousands of people in private businesses, colleges,
hospitals, government buildings and homes around the country.
The response to the Living with Energy class continues to be
great, but I wanted to offer more! There is only so much I can
cover in two hours (even with how FAST I talk).

This new class, Cancer: Friend or Foe? From Table to Cell –
How Food and Emotions Create Life!, is a bit more technical and
digs into the chemistry and biology of your amazing body. There
will be a third class coming at the beginning of next year
titled: Feeding our Children: Licking ADD, ADHD and Allergies
Starts Before Birth – how to Recover and Refuel!

If any of you receiving these emails are interested in offering
one of the classes to your staff, school, patients or clients,
please contact me. If you just want to have friends come over to
your home for an entertaining class, call! Private parties are
so much fun!

THANK YOU for all the support and trust you put into Jen, I and
our businesses. Saturday I saw so many wonderful faces, and
spoke to countless people via phone or in the store that want to
heal themselves naturally. Some drove hours to get to our place.
Many of you gave hugs, words of thanks, and expressions of love
that will stay with me and keep me ignited. It is my hope, that
as the wellness center continues to grow and develop, and with
our current interns, I will be able to finally finish my books.

YOU are the reason Jen and our family keeps doing what we do!
-THANK YOU! - Karen

Store News –

I commented to Roger early this morning that perhaps we are
experiencing what the small hardware stores experienced when
Menards and Home Depot opened up in their neighborhoods. Some
survived, others did not.

Those stores who survived did so because they offered something
the big box stores couldn’t. We believe Nature’s Garden
offers much that other stores do not!

• Fresh organic greens and large frozen bags of organic fruit
and veggies for green drinks and smoothies are a large draw for
those of you starting your day with a protein rich power drink.

• Nature’s Garden carries LOCAL nitrate free grass fed
organic and free range meats, LOCAL produce and other organic
produce, LOCAL honey, LOCAL Maple Sugar and Maple Syrup, dozens
of fresh grocery products from our own LOCAL (really local –
downstairs!) certified kitchen, and every grocery store item is
free from all genetic modification. We are one of the ONLY
grocery stores in Wisconsin that can say that!

• Our Nature’s Garden herbal tinctures and extracts are some
of the finest you may ever find. An ounce of prevention is
GREAT! Having herbals extracts in 2, 4 and 8 oz bottles is a
sure must-have for any home during the winter months. PLUS our
cooking extracts are unlike any other in FLAVOR.

• Our fresh pizzas, blackout burgers, salmon patties, SOUPS,
humus’s, fresh breads, lasagna and stuffed trout are perfect
ready-to-eat dinners.

• ZuZu’s ready to go organic meals are found in the fridge
everyday for lunch or take out for dinner – YUM!

• Raw specialties are everywhere throughout the store. Raw
coconut oils, coconut aminos, Rawtella, nut butters, nuts, seeds,
sprouting seeds, grains, and sea veggies to name a few, and
kitchen appliances are all here as well!

Our family works hard every day to make sure organic fresh foods
are ready for your kitchen. Yes, you may spend more for organic
produce than conventional, but you will not spend more in your
overall food bill when you are eating organic and healthy.
Grains and beans are cheap! Animal products are expensive (and
not necessary for vibrant health), and processed foods leave you
quite the bill for marketing and packaging and very little for
the quality of food inside. Healthy foods = Healthy body = no
(or very low) medical bills!

We understand money is tight for everyone, but your health is
purchased in a grocery store, just as cancer and illnesses are.
The cure for cancer and 90% of illness is found on your dinner
plate. Please, read your labels, and know what you are sending
to your liver for processing. Then, perhaps consider making a
few changes on your shopping list.

We strive to keep our prices competitive. Our mark up is only
20- 23%! We sell groceries so we can provide safe food for our
family, and for all of you. Combined with our supplements and
wellness center, we plan on staying open for 30+ more years.

Things at Nature’s Garden are exciting, and ever changing. We
are speaking more often at homes and businesses alike, the
wellness center is doing great, (we will be having a few changes
there in the future as well), we have catering events lined up,
but we NEED more support from you, our customers, in our 100% GMO
free grocery store aisles. Please drop by and support our
mission – to serve you!

WINNER!

The winner of the $100.00 shopping spree is……

GINA S!
Congratulations Gina!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE

Enjoy the weekend!

Sincerely,

Karen

SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER: Sara Bronson
An International Speaker, Life Coach and Facilitator of the One-Brain Technique
contributing to anothers happiness is my greatest joy. After creating Inside Out,
a three day event that I led in Breda, The Netherlands, assisting others to let
go of limitations and step into endless possibilities has become my passion.
Having been a guest speaker for local High Schools, I am committed to listen
for and reliably delivering that which makes a real difference in the lives
of young people in what they are dealing with and what they care about.
Clients continue to express how that things that historically have never
moved are now moving. Whether private clients or group classes,
Happiness Alignment specializes in the ultimate human tune-up, reduces stress
in any area of life, and frees the mind to create and manifest new choices.

Sara's Specialties: Life Coaching, Out-of the Box Training & Tools for Success,
Emotional Freedom using One-Brain Technique.

A Happiness Alignment, a.k.a. One-Brain© Technique, is a gentle effective
way to align with freedom and peace of mind in all areas of your life.
Let’s face it, sometimes we feel stuck as if on a hamster wheel and no
matter what we do ‘it’ keeps going around and around. Through biofeedback
from the body, a Happiness Alignment allows you access to data stored on the
body level. By using simple corrections or reading specific material, the
negative emotions attached to past events are released and de-fused.
Once those neuro-pathways are no longer running the show, you are free
to create new pathways with a new choice, new self-talk and new behavior.
You now have the ability to choose your response to life. Some say it’s
like getting in touch with ones inner knowing. Sounds simple? It is!
It’s the AHA of well-being and contentment.

GREAT NEWS! Exciting LETTER!

2011-11-02T15:54:00.001-05:00

Dear Customers--Our Friends,

It is with a lot excitement that I write to you today. Please, take the few minutes it may take to read this letter – it is FULL of exciting news!

It has been a whirlwind the last few months in the health center, in addition to our health training in Georgia.

Both Jen and I did well on our exams, and now have certifications in operating the CEDSA unit. To achieve this, we needed to know and understand the many intricate systems of the body, the glands, organs, and how they all work together making the greatest machine on earth – the human body.

It never ceases to amaze me, how utterly complex the body is, and yet how simple! Taking a bird’s eye view always brings me back to how easy and natural it is for our body to function – and how it relies on each bite we take to nourish it.

This weekend our open house has free classes all day Friday and Saturday, sales, tours, and equipment demonstrations. We are very excited to share with you some of what we have learned.

In addition…..Next Wednesday, Jen and I are both headed back to Atlanta, Georgia. We are attending “The Science of Complimentary Medicine”, the National Convention of the Association of Natural Health. Doctors, practitioners and leading experts such as John Easterling from Amazon Herb Company, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, and Dr. James Hawver and other experts will be speaking.

The phone rang minutes ago and the CEO of the association and his staff were on the conference call. They said the MC of the event had called to back down a few days ago due to family circumstances out of their control.

The board met to discuss the possibilities of who they could ask, and had decided to ask me to MC the entire conference!

I am SO HONORED! Now, not only can we bring back to you what we will be learning from the conference, but inside knowledge from the experts and doctors! (I get to go early to get a feel of everything going on prior to the conference, and to meet everyone….I really love the work of Dr. Tenpenny (vaccines) and then meeting Amazon John? FUN!)

Following are a few of the classes we are taking from these amazing doctors:
“The Science of the Para-Thyroid”, “A Practical Guide to the Nervous System”, “Laboratory Values: Blood Chemistries 101”, “Organs and Their Dependence on Each Other”, “The Vicious Cycle of Obesity, Insulin Resistance and Diabetes”, “Emotions in Motion: The Chemistry of Feelings”, “The Hidden Roadblocks to Weight Management”, “Breast Health-What Doctors Need to Know”, “Amazon Secrets Revealed, New Anti-Aging Discoveries in the Amazon and why they may be the KEY to a Healthy Brain and Long life,” We are very excited!

We are honored to be attending this great convention and to sit and learn from doctors and professionals who have helped countless hundreds of thousands of people in their quest for better health – naturally.

It is not only we who benefit though, as all of the information we learn will come back to YOU! We can’t wait to share!!!

As the three trips to Georgia have come at the same time as the wellness center updates, we are in need of your support!

In discussing how to raise the rest of the needed investment, I said to Jen “let’s just ask our great customers for help!” We both agreed: You are our greatest allies!

We need to raise $10,000.00 with your help!

You can help by:

•Purchasing grocery and store items
•Paying ahead for Health Services in the Wellness Center
•Telling your friends about the open house, so they too can benefit
•Share with others our weekly class schedule, so they too can learn what you are learning!
•Make a donation! Invest! Every dollar makes a difference!

•CEDSA scans are on special for $150.00. Pay for half now and receive a $20.00 gift card.

•For every $50.00 you spend in the wellness center you will be entered into a drawing to win a free Ionic Foot Bath.
•Free tanning session for anyone who brings a new guest to a class or the open house during the month of November.
We have a new Investors Board! To thank those who are investing into our business and into the numerous presentations we are giving throughout the state on Natural Living and Natural Health, we have designed an engraved board.

We are active in the community donating numerous hours of time and product helping to instruct and inspire others because of your continued support.

We have been asked by many organizations to come speak, teach and demonstrate healthy eating. These groups include those who are aging, handicapped, working with young children, as well as professional businesses, community organizations and health care establishments. It is an exciting time to be sharing natural health!

Fall blessings,
Karen

important subject in health history – YOUR COLON! Cost $10.00

6:00 pm CEDSA Demo: CEDSA - Computerized Electro Dermal Stress
Analysis - is the product of a 50-year evolution in
Biological-Energetic/biofeedback testing. The technique used in
CEDSA testing is based on the Chinese medical theory that
improper energy flow through the acupuncture meridians causes
energy imbalances within the body. CEDSA works by tapping into
the meridian pathways by gently pressing different acupuncture
points with a probe and measuring the electrical feedback. Using
these acupuncture meridians, CEDSA has the unique ability to
search past the symptoms to the root cause of your health
condition.

7:00 pm Detoxing – The Answer to a New You! Living in todays
polluted and chemically contaminated world, we can only control
our exposure to toxins by what we consume or use in our home.

PROSTATE HEALTH CLASS & GRAND SLAM STORE SALE!

2011-10-13T19:00:00.000-05:00

Prostate cancer is one of the three main prostate disorders and
the most diagnosed cancer in American men.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located under
the bladder and surrounding the urethra. It acts as a valve that permits
both sperm and urine to flow out of the body, produces nutrients to
nourish the sperm and ensures a healthy environment for sperm cells
by filtering impurities from the blood.

A man's PSA score has a direct relationship to prostate cancer.
Men with prostate cancer have high levels of the specific protein
PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen). Is a high PSA level the all-important marker?

Men and Woman (support your man) please join Chad and discover how hundreds
of local men (and countless thousands not so local) have dropped their
PSA levels working with raw natural foods, herbs, and exercise to achieve
perfect prostate health.

Cost per person $15.00 (includes education, class support, and snack!)

OCTOBER is Non-GMO Month!! We Support your right to know what's
in your food and to choose non-GMO!

Nature's Garden is Wisconsin's #1 GMO-free grocery store!

What are GMO's?
GMO (or "genetically modified organisms") are organisms that have been created through
the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called "genetically engineering, or GE).
This relatively new science merges DNA from different species, creating combinations
of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in
traditional crossbreeding.

Virtually all commerical GMO's are bred to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or pesticides.
Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer
increased yield, drought tolerence, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMO's with health problems,
environmental damage and violation of farmers' and consumers' rights!

Rallies are being held all over America this month to raise awareness about
the dangers of GMOs and call for public unity in demanding GMO labeling in foods.

"The public has a right to know what's in the food they buy and feed their children,"
said Mike Adams "Health Ranger" at the event. "This is a fundamental issue of our right
to know what we're eating. We the People demand that the foods we buy
be accurately labeled so that can make an informed choice about avoiding
genetically engineered ingredients."

CEDSA (Computerized ElectroDermal Stress Analysis) represents a major breakthrough in providing modern complementary health-care and problem identification to the general public at a reasonable cost.

HOW IT CAN HELP YOU: CEDSA has the ability to search to the very root cause of your medical condition.

Blood Work & What's the BUZZ on Healthy Happy Thoughts!!

2011-08-30T09:05:00.000-05:00

My Blood Work & Thoughts There is much to discuss on blood work, but this is not the article on that. This news brief is about MY blood work! People ask me almost daily how I know what to study, how I trust my sources, how long have I done what I do. The answer is quite simple –I have studied for OVER 20 years and have watched most of the health sites evolve! The SAME diet and approach that heals today has healed and re-built bodies for centuries! People just have different ways to share it. What we teach you here at Nature’s Garden Health Center WORKS. Daily we see people’s lives change and improve. Today, I wanted to share with you a few numbers from my recent blood work. All of my numbers were great, but the ones that may make the biggest impact on most people are these: Blood pressure 90/60, HDL - 60, LDL - 68, LDL/HDL Ratio 1.15, CHOL/HDL CHOL RATIO - 2.3, and all my protein levels were GREAT (and we only eat meat 2-3 times a year! i.e. …..we are heading to the Brewers game and will enjoy one of Nature’s Gardens nitrate free brats tonight with kraut! YUM!) YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! Come to our classes, set up consults, get EXCITED for the new equipment being brought into the wellness center and know YOU are in charge of your body! YOU can change the amount of pharmaceuticals you take (under doctor supervision of course), YOU can experience great health, YOU don’t need to fear getting sick this winter because with a healthy body – YOU WON’T! You have Mother’s Natures guarantee! There is nothing holding you back from being well. Please, make it a point to come to our classes held on Thursdays and take charge of your life and help influence others. The information we share can change your life for the better. Our lives are dedicated to helping others live with energy and enjoy great vibrant health! CLASS SCHEDULE IS POSTED ON WEBSITE: www.naturesgardenwellnesscenter.com BUZZ-ZY BEE!...Get ENERGIZED with BEE POLLEN!! Bee pollen is an amazing nutrient or naturally occuring supplement. It is esteemed by many health experts as a complete food not withstanding its "supplement" reputation. It has been used as a supplement for thousands of years by many cultures all over the world. Bee pollen is rich in the B vitamin complex (which gives energy), high in vitamins A, C, & E, nucleic acids, lecithin, cysteine, and vital minerals such as selenium, calcium, and magnesium. SEARCH HERE FOR MORE INFO! http://www.naturalnews.com/bee_pollen.html Bee Pollen= Health Enhancer! * Anti-Radiation * Menstrual Pain Alleviation * Anemia (hemoglobin increases) * Allergies (hay fever, asthma, migraine headaches) * Weight Loss * Infertility * Immune System builder * Cancer (uterine) * Longevity & Aging * Pets (fertility use) Experience HEALING from the HIVE...Buzz on over to Nature's Garden Store for bottles: 3.5oz or 16 oz. RAW BEE POLLEN !!! Surprise in Last Night’s Movie! Last night the girls and I decided to figure out what all the excitement was regarding Justin Bieber. We rented the Never Say Never video about him, and sat back to enjoy. It was a great movie and that young man is overly talented. There was one point that stuck out greater than anything. Justin had damaged his vocal chords. They had him on silent treatment– in which he still asked for Chicken nuggets and junk foods from Mc Donald’s. Typical teenager right? The specialist explained that reflux was playing a role as well. Our family knew his diet was influencing his health. The next segment caught us off guard: It showed Justin drinking a GREEN DRINK! Yup, chalk full of veggies and minerals – his superiors didn’t care what he thought of it, they knew what it could do for him! Our whole family roared “It’s a green drink!” Fun!

BEST OF HEALTH TO YOU ALL!!

2011-08-15T09:59:00.000-05:00

Hello Everyone!

WEBSITE:

Our website is up and running! We were down for a few days as we republished the site with more information. The article/Info page is full of recommended reading, and videos. Our site we recommend page has new information as well. Our new video (this is different than the one I did with Jen last month) is up and we ask you to pass it along to friends and family. It is a more professional look at ALL we offer here! (I even talk slow if you can believe that! )

RETREATS:

Many of you have asked about our retreats. We are excited to tell you…they start in October! Many details will come at the end of this week. Mark your calendar though, the first one starts at 4 pm on Thursday October 6th and runs until Saturday October 9th! Saturday’s dinner meal is open for you to invite a guest, and we have really great activities lined up! Chad and AnnaMaria will be our retreat directors, and Jen and I will speak as well. WE CAN’T WAIT! Yoga, all raw foods, vision boards (new to me too!) and classes that are GREAT! I am counting down the days!

CLASSES:

The fall class schedule is coming this week. If you have not had a chance to let us know what classes interest you the most, please make that a priority. Check out our class list on line and choose.

New classes for this fall: Healing and Preventing Cancer from Within, Problem Prostates – a look at Prostate Cancer (you purchase it at the store…), Body Toning – Physical Trainer Zach Gayan will be presenting this series to help anyone shape and tone up, and ADD/ ADHD Which Foods Help, Which Foods Don’t for Adults and Children. This will be a great new year everyone!

SUCCESS:

The other day while working I reflected on something I learned, and brought the parable into my business life. For those of you new to this store and location, I moved here two weeks before Christmas in 1999 with five children all under the age of 10, had 40 dollars to my name and one bed. No refrigerator – didn’t have one of those for months, and very little food. I would stare at the buildings next to our home (the old rectory) and wonder what in the world I could do with them. The owner of the property was kind to me and my children, and became like a second father to me. Needless to say, you all benefit from the miracles of faith that happened here starting in 1999. The saying “build it they will come” became my everyday belief. First with the wedding center, later with Nature’s Garden Health Center.

The religious aspect was faith. I needed to exercise faith and not let myself doubt. Faith cannot exist in the same space as doubt.

With business, success cannot exist in the same space as failure.

At Nature’s Garden, we have much in store for you over the next few months. I cannot wait to tell you everything that is ordered and planned, but I must wait!
July and August are often the worst months of the year for Natural Foods. Many consumers shop the farmers markets, take vacations, and begin getting ready for school. We just ask that you please continue to shop at the store. We are no different, in that our family spends much more time doing day trips now than any other time of the year! However, our bills for maintaining this property are high and static. So even though sales dip, maintenance does not.

Thank you for being as supportive as you are. It is with anxiety that I wait for school to start, classes to begin, and to see many of you more often!

THANK YOU:

Being part of Nature’s Garden has been a blessing to us, as well as many people around. The testimonials that are now coming in are so wonderful to read. Please, if you have not taken a few minutes to write something, consider doing so to help motivate those around you!

Have a wonderful week everyone! Stop in soon!

Sincerely,

Karen

FOR TEENAGERS
P.S. I am speaking at a Youth Discussion on Sunday for teenagers ages 12 – 18. The subject is faith. It doesn’t matter what religion you are, (it never does) if you have children that are interested in attending, please come. Depending on attendance, we will hold this meeting at our home or in the church. I was asked to speak to the youth, and there was no way I could say no! I LOVE PEOPLE!

Monday, August 8th., 7pm – 8:30pm **FREE CLASS**

Presenting is John Albright (Founder of Talya Water)

What is Talya water and how does it work?

Talya water is a new product on the market that will enable your
body to perform on a higher level and function in a more perfect way.

The result is a human body with less toxins and better nutrition.
This aids your body in its daily journey through life.

The water with a purpose provides two primary services to the human body:
1. Talya water more thoroughly hydrates the body.
2. Talya water assists the body to detoxify.

When the body is hydrated properly and has the ability to
eliminate toxins more thoroughly, it is able to perform to a
higher level and functions in a more perfect way. Talya water
more thoroughly hydrates the body.

Talya water does not fix anything. Your body heals itself when
allowed through the presence of the right supplies.
The body is a miraculous creation. Its ability to heal itself is
beyond human understanding.

The goal of Talya water is to help the body's systems be in balance,
so your body can perform at the optimal level for which it was designed!

HERB OF THE WEEK: MULLEIN LEAF!

Mullein has a special affinity (attraction) for the respiratory organs
and is a valuable remedy for all pulmonary complaints. It is the only
herb known to man that has remarkable narcotic properties without being
poisonous and harmful. It is a great herbal pain killer and nervous
soporific, calming and quieting all inflamed and irritated nerves.
With its use in wasting disorders (such as phthisis), the weight is
steadily increased, expectoration is easy, cough is palliated, and
the general condition improved.

Mullein soothes and strengthens the bowels and renal system,
is one of the most important agents for influencing the glandular system
(the serous and mucous membranes). It promotes absorption of effusion
(escape of fluids from their vessels, as by rupture) and morbid accumulations.

Nature’s Garden has MULLEIN ingredients AVAILABLE in these herbal
formulas: Glandular Tincture, BF&C Tincture, Pancreas Formula,
Lung & Bronchial Tincture, Super Garlic Immune, and Black Ointment.

ESSENTIAL OIL OF THE WEEK: LAVENDER!

Lavender oil is extracted mostly from the flowers of lavender plant,
primarily through steam distillation. The flowers of lavender are
fragrant in nature and have been used for making potpourris since years.
Lavender essential oil has also been traditionally used in making perfumes.
The oil is very useful in aromatherapy and many aromatic preparations
are made using lavender oil.

Lavender oil blends well with many other essential oils including
cedarwood, pine, clary sage, geranium, and nutmeg. Today, lavender
essential oil is used in various forms including aromatherapy oil,
gels, infusion, lotion, and soaps.

The health benefits of lavender essential oil include its ability
to remove nervous tension, relieve pain, disinfect scalp and skin,
enhance blood circulation and treat respiratory problems.
Lavender has the Latin name Lavare, which means “to wash”
due to its aroma that gives the feeling of a clean aroma.

The various health benefits of lavender essential oil include:

Nervous System: Lavender essential oil has a calming scent which
makes it an excellent tonic for the nerves. Therefore, it helps in
treating migraines, headaches, anxiety, depression, nervous tension
and emotional stress. The refreshing aroma removes nervous exhaustion
and restlessness and increases mental activity.

Sleep: Lavender essential oil induces sleep and hence it is often
recommended for insomnia.

Pain Relief: Lavender essential oil is also an excellent remedy for
various types of pains including those caused by sore muscles,
tense muscles, muscular aches, rheumatism, sprains, backache and lumbago.
A regular massage with lavender oil provides relief from pain in the joints.

Urine Flow: Lavender essential oil is good for urinary disorders as
it stimulates urine production. It helps in restoring hormonal balance
and reduces cystitis or inflammation of the urinary bladder.
It also reduces any associated cramps.

Respiratory Disorders: Lavender oil is extensively used for various
respiratory problems including throat infections, flu, cough, cold,
asthma, sinus congestion, bronchitis, whooping cough, laryngitis,
and tonsillitis. The oil is either used in the form of vapor or applied
on the skin of neck, chest and back. It is also added in
many vaporizers and inhalers used for cold and coughs.

Hair Care: Lavender essential oil is useful for the hair care as
it can be very effective on lice and lice eggs or nits.

Blood Circulation: Lavender essential oil is also good for improving
blood circulation in the body. It also lowers blood pressure and is
used for hypertension.

Digestion: Lavender oil is useful for digestion as it increases
the mobility of the intestine. The oil also stimulates the production
of gastric juices and bile and thus aids in treating indigestion,
stomach pain, colic, flatulence, vomiting and diarrhea.

Immunity: Regular use of lavender essential oil provides resistance to diseases.

Skin Care: The health benefits of lavender oil for the skin can be
attributed to its antiseptic and antifungal properties. It is used to
treat various skin disorders such as acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, and
other inflammations. It heals wounds, cuts, burns, and sunburns rapidly
as it aids in the formation of scar tissues.
Lavender oil is added to chamomile to treat eczema.

Don’t Bite Me!: It is also effective against insect bites.
The oil is also used to repel mosquitoes and moths. You will find
many mosquito repellents containing lavender oil as one of the ingredients.

As with many other essential oils, pregnant and breastfeeding women
should avoid using lavender essential oil. It is also recommended that
diabetics stay away from lavender oil. It may also cause allergic reactions
to people having sensitive skin. Some people may also witness nausea,
vomiting and headaches due to usage of lavender oil.

Nature’s Garden has LAVENDER ingredients AVAILABLE in these products:
Lavender Essential Oil, Lavender Mint Organic Soap, Patchouli Lavender
Organic Soap, Eucalyptus Mint Organic Soap, and Dog Shampoo Soaps.

HERB OF THE WEEK: OLIVE LEAF!

Olive leaf (Olea europaea) was first used medicinally in Ancient Egypt.
It is gaining recognition as a powerful defender against sickness and
numerous scientific studies have been conducted to investigate the
extract's beneficial properties. The reported benefits of olive leaf
extract range from promoting increased energy and healthy blood pressure,
to supporting the cardiovascular system and the immune system.
From research and clinical experience to date, we can say that
supplemental olive leaf may be beneficial in the treatment for conditions
caused by, or associated with, a virus, retrovirus, bacterium or protozoan.
Among those treatable conditions are: influenza, the common cold,
candida infections, meningitis, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), encephalitis,
herpes I and II, human herpes virus 6 and 7, shingles (Herpes zoster),
HIV/ARC/AIDS, chronic fatigue, hepatitis B, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
gonorrhea, malaria, dengue, severe diarrhea, and dental, ear, urinary tract
and surgical infections.

depression. Due to this calming nature of basil essential oil,
it is widely used in aromatherapy. Regular use gives mental strength and clarity.

THE SYMPHONY!, SIZZLING STORE NEWS!, SMOOTHIE RECIPES, WELLNESS WINNER!, CLASSES! & HERBS/OIL OF THE WEEK!!

2011-07-19T14:28:00.001-05:00

The Symphony!

Last night after supper, I headed out to the vegetable garden.
Roger had just tiled, and everything looked perfect.
Walking around the garden monitoring the size of the different tomatoes
on all the different plants was quite enjoyable. A cherry tomato was
calling my name so I popped him in my mouth and savored the perfect flavor!

As I was walking towards the home the rain started. I stood there
enjoying the fresh and much needed drops of refreshment. Then,
I joined the garden and lay down on the ground, arms out to the side
to enjoy the refreshing rain! Now, I have played outside in the rain
often, and neighbors find our children dancing in the rain many times
a summer, but to lie on the ground next to the garden was wonderful.

The rhythm and sounds of the rain droplets was magnificent!
Some were hitting the large leaves, some the grass next to me,
some the rain gutters, and all of them were different!
Another voice of a symphony!

You often hear me encourage others to get outside and “ground” with the earth.
For those of you still not believing that we are electrical beings,
loaded with frequencies, please research! The ground is a natural
healer and it is free!

I will always remember last night because it was one of the most
relaxing times in my life. Sorry to the massage therapists I have used,
but being that “one” with nature blew all of the relaxing techniques
used out of the water! I encourage you all to just try it.
That is not to say that you will find our whole family under the showers
each time it rains….but I sure bet you will discover for yourself a
new way of “cooling off!”

Enjoy free healing from “Mother Nature!”
Karen

HERB OF THE WEEK: GENTIAN!

Tonic, stomachic, febrifuge, emmenagogue, anthelmintic (vermifuge),
antiseptic, antispasmodic, cholagogue, emetic (large doses), sialagogue,
antibilious, antiperiodic, antivenomous.

Gentian is one of the most valuable bitter tonics and best strengtheners
of the human system in herbal medicine. It has the characteristic of
storing vast quantities of condensed oxygen in the roots (the source
of its bitterness and exhilarating tonic action), and therefore it is
rightfully one of the most popular revitalizing tonic and stomachic
agents for physical exhaustion from chronic ailments, general debility,
female weakness, digestive weakness, and lack of appetite. It is
intensely bitter, yet it is generally easily received by the stomach,
wherein it tones the liver without inencing the secretion of bile.
It is powerful, effective and reliable as a therapeutic tonic agent.
As an antiperiodic, its action is similar to Peruvian bark (Cinchona calisaya).

A perennial with several smooth ascending stems, 3-4. feet or more
in height. The lance-shaped leaves are opposite to one another at each
joint. A cluster of crowded, tubular greenish-white to purplish-green
flowers grow at the top of the plant. Found throughout eastern and
central U.S. in wet areas.

It is a anthelmintic, antiseptic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, stomachic,
and tonic. The rhizome and root collected in the autumn and dried is
one of the most useful of the bitter vegetable tonics.

Historically used for exhaustion from chronic disease, weakness of
the digestive organs and want of appetite, jaundice, hysteria, fevers,
rheumatism, to reduce vomiting, an aid to digestion, and nervous distress.

GENTIAN 1 oz. TINCTURE is at Nature’s Garden Health Store!

ESSENTIAL OIL OF THE WEEK: GERANIUM!

Geranium is one of my favorite oils because it works profoundly on the
emotions and is useful in many medical conditions—it smells wonderful
while it works so hard.
The oil is extracted not from the familiar brightly colored geranium
but from the species Pelargonium—Geranium Robert or “lemon plant”
—which is very often displayed in abundance in Greek restaurants.

Geranium will make chilblains disappear overnight and brings a
radiant glow when used in skin care!
More importantly, it is a vital component in the treatment of
endometriosis, is very effective for menopausal problems, diabetes,
blood disorders, throat infections, and as a nerve tonic, and works
well as a sedative. It is reputed to help in cases of uterine and
breast cancer and if nothing else, would certainly help the patient
to relax and cope with pain.

Geranium has many applications, from frostbite to infertility,
and its antiseptic and astringent properties contribute to its
general usefulness. Its delightful floral fragrance makes it a
pleasure to use, either on its own or as a contributory oil in blends.

GERANIUM ESSENTIAL OIL is at Nature’s Garden Health Store!

IT'S MONDAY~ Water Class Tonight!, Support Store, Yummy Treats, Blend Tec,& FAMILY

2011-07-11T12:06:00.000-05:00

Good Monday Morning!!

Tonight’s class is INCREDIBLE! I just spent time with John,
the owner and founder of Talya water and all I can say is WOW!

Understanding Quantum Physics and energies, this water is something
that every single person in the world will benefit form.
I am amazed at all he has seen. He has been working with animals
and this water for over twenty years.

Four years ago he started with people and these are just a FEW
of the things he has seen: Absolutely everyone with high blood pressure
or high blood sugars has seen dramatic decreases in blood pressure
or blood sugars – many reducing drastically their need for insulin,
Every single person with depression has been thrilled with their
positive attitudes, Parkinson victims have all seen incredible results,
shoulder and back pains disperse, people sleep better, have better
endurance, bowels move well and libido returns (positive local
testimony from a man on that one!) and the biggest thrill for
John to watch is Autistic children, there is not one who has not
felt and witnessed incredible results.

The powerful effects this water has on the body will be discussed
tonight at 7 pm. Our unit was installed today, and we can’t wait
to bring this “dew from heaven” to you!

Look DEEP in your Cupboard….

I know we are all excited about the local farmers market, vacations,
kids home from school and all the excitement summer brings but…….

Coconut, olive and tee seed oils, healing ointments, yummy raw crackers

Karen wrote this particular newsletter, and as tradition has it,
I need to include a silly story or saying. Here is my experience
last night! In case you ever wondered what I dream about……

A FUNNY FUNNY thing happened last night at 1:38 am.

We woke up to the phone ringing and I glanced at the clock.
It was 1:38 am. After Roger answered he realized it was a wrong number,
I laid my head back on my pillow and exclaimed "Just at the best part!"
My husband looked at me and I told him........"I had just signed a
three month agreement with Firestone Tires (A company that sells tires)
for only $7.00 a month my tires were going to glow at night.
They were just going to hand me my free pair of socks for signing
up and the phone rang! Now I can't have my socks or see my tires glow!"

so get ready for an evening of food, pictures and stories!

We will be having an addition to our family! NO I am not with child,

We write many times a month, and she can’t wait o live with us and
her parents are so excited for her to learn to un-cook! I don’t
know who is more excited to eat our food…Marthe or her parents!
We will have a Norway presentation in early spring.

Jenna and Eric are both off serving missions. Jenna is in Las Vegas

What is Talya water and how does it work? Talya water is a new product
on the market that will enable your body to perform on a higher level
and function in a more perfect way. Unlike many other products,
Talya water simply serves as a better tool, a more easily used water.
The result is a human body with less toxins and better nutrition.
This aids your body in its daily journey through life.
The water with a purpose provides two primary services to the
human body:
1. Talya water more thoroughly hydrates the body.
2. Talya water assists the body to detoxify.

When the body is hydrated properly and has the ability to eliminate
toxins more thoroughly, it is able to perform to a higher level and
functions in a more perfect way. Talya water more thoroughly hydrates
the body.
Talya water does not fix anything. Your body heals itself when allowed
through the presence of the right supplies. The body is a miraculous
creation. Its ability to heal itself is beyond human understanding.

The goal of Talya water is to help the body's systems be in balance,
so your body can perform at the optimal level for which it was designed!

Write down your testimonials & Drop it off at the Store OR Email us a few sentences: jen@naturesgardenwellnesscenter.com

Let’s SHARE with the WORLD
how FEELING GOOD has CHANGED YOUR LIFE!!!

Every week we will be featuring a HERB & ESSENTIAL OIL that is AVAILABLE AT OUR STORE! Information on the properties of the herbs and oils will be provided so we will know the answers to the What's, Why's & How's to use them!

HERB OF THE WEEK: Hydrangea Root!

A scientific study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry in 2003 noted that hydrangea root extracts have greater antioxidant power in liver tissue than milk thistle and turmeric combined. The findings of Japanese researchers amplify observations of nineteenth-century American physicians who used hydrangea primarily as a treatment for "kidney gravel," small stones in the kidneys that could be passed with a minimum of pain after treatment with the herb. Physicians of the time also used hydrangea as a treatment for chronic chest pain caused by bronchitis. Hydrangea root powder has a greater diuretic effect than other preparations of the herb, but it has less of an effect on pain.

The kidneys play a key role in the body. Their functions include: getting rid of waste products, regulating the chemical composition of the body ids (blood and lymph), balancing the percentage of water in the body, and maintaining the body’s pH levels. The kidneys are involved in the angiotensin I, II, III hormone formation--the regulators of vascular tone and adrenal glands (aldosterone secretion), they activate vitamin D3, which regulates the exchange of calcium and phosphorus. Furthermore, the kidneys produce the erythropoietin hormone—the stimulator of erythropoiesis in the red bone marrow which synthesizes a proteolytic enzyme, renin. By preventing major diseases of the renal system, we support other organs and systems - cardiovascular, sexual, and endocrine.

Main Properties:
• normalizes water-salt metabolism
• contributes to the destruction of kidney stones and gall bladder
• contributes to the removal of salts from the body
• has a diuretic and uroseptic effect
• anti-inflammatory effect

FIND at Nature’s Garden Store: Hydrangea Root Tincture 1oz. and Joint & Arthritis Tincture 2oz.

ESSENTIAL OIL OF THE WEEK: Peppermint!

Peppermint has been used by many ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, Chinese, and American Indians, no doubt because of its extremely useful health-promoting properties. It is an excellent digestive, it helps the respiratory system and circulation, it is an anti-inflammatory, and an antiseptic. These qualities make it a good oil in the treatment of indigestion, flatulence, bad breath, flu, catarrh, varicose veins, headaches and migraines, skin irritations, rheumatism, toothache, and fatigue. It even keeps mice, fleas, and ants away!!

THURSDAY CLASS July 7th at 7 pm.
~ Jen’s Jubilee Presents: SKIN CARE You Can EAT!

What we put on our skin goes in!

Jen's Medicupping Story~ Last week my knee/upper leg area had felt
like it was sprained and I was in some pain...Medicupping to the rescue!
RELIEF, almost instantly (definately within 2 hrs.)
BUT, what I wasn't expecting from this treatment was to see a
BLUE GRAY FLUID coming out of my leg!!!~WHAT WAS THIS?!! I don't use
ANY colored lotions on my skin or eat anything that has artificial
colorings in it!! BUT, wait a minute...I did in the PAST!! YIKES!!!
Does this mean that the blue grayish color may have been stored in my
body (fat cells) this whole time, possibly causing problems in my body or
would have in the future? Hmmmm...this is kind of scary to know that
what we eat, drink and put on our skin really confirms
the statement: "YOU ARE WHAT YOU ABSORB!"
I know from sharing my experience and hearing from others that
have had Medicupping, that colored fluids coming out of the skin
is more than normal! Let the toxins out~ Medicupping is great!!!

Weekly Newsletter

Kraut & Probiotics!
How many people have cleared up their digestion, rebuilt the inner ecosystem and re-populated their bacterial colonies from eating raw kraut? COUNTLESS!
At Nature's Garden it has been wonderful to hear the strong testimonies of those who enjoy raw sauerkraut in their daily diets.
Nature's Gardens sauerkrauts are raw, they are not pasteurized. Pasteurization heats foods, killing vital nutrients and enzymes. Most krauts sold in supermarkets and health food stores have been pasteurized, and often times the salt used is processed salt.
Lactic acid is a natural preservative that inhibits pathogenic bacteria, so it works well. Sugars and starches in vegetables and fruits are converted into lactic acid by lactobacilli, which include an array of species of bacteria such as acidophilus. The living lactobacilli in fermented foods increases vitamin content of the produce used, and enhances overall digestibility. Lactobacilli produce many helpful enzymes, antibiotics and anti-carcinogens. Lactic acid is a by-product of lactobacilli, and this acid promotes the growth of healthy flora throughout the wondrous intestine and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast.

Sara Bronson is BACK!
Sarah Bronson will be coming into town and has a few appointments still open! Sarah Bronson is a dear friend of our nurse, Teresa, and is from Florida. Both Teresa and Sara were in the same Wellness Center in Palm Beach. Sarah practices a technique called Brain Balance, and because it is hard to put into words, she simply calls it Happiness Alignment!
A Happiness Alignment, a.k.a. One-Brain© Technique, is a gentle effective way to align with freedom and peace of mind in all areas of your life. Let’s face it, sometimes we feel stuck as if on a hamster wheel and no matter what we do ‘it’ keeps going around and around. Through biofeedback from the body, a Happiness Alignment allows you access to data stored on the body level. By using simple corrections or reading specific material, the negative emotions attached to past events are released and de-fused. Once those neuro-pathways are no longer running the show, you are free to create new pathways with a new choice, new self-talk and new behavior. You now have the ability to choose your response to life. Some say it’s like getting in touch with ones inner knowing. Sounds simple? It is. It’s the AHA of well-being and contentment.
Sarah will be speaking on Wednesday, June 22nd at 7:45 p.m.-9 p.m.
If you are interested in seeing her, please call soon as her time is almost completely full! Sarah has openings each day June 22nd,23rd,24th.

Maca is a radish-like perennial that grows at high altitude in an environment of intense sunlight, high winds and freezing temperatures in the upper elevations of the Andes Mountains in Peru. Maca root was domesticated about 2000 years ago by the Incan culture who regarded the root as a veryvaluable commodity. Native Peruvians have traditionally utilized Maca since before the time of the Incas for both nutritional and medicinal purposes. Maca Root is an important staple in the diets of the people indigenous to the region since it has the highest nutritional value of any food crop grown there.

What a Response!

THANK YOU to everyone who applied to our ad last week. At first I was nervous as a few people said I would not find anyone who would want to do so many things……but dozens and dozens of you sent in letters, resumes called or stopped in. We were overwhelmed with how many of you also passed the info on to others you felt would be a perfect fit. Heck, now we are REALLY motivated to grow so we can hire more of the wonderful people out there!

Interviewing didn’t take long to find the perfect fit for our team. Jenny Bartell applied and as Jen has been a key player in our non profit organization – Vibrant Life Vibrant Child. Inc, we knew her incredible work ethics, her positive and enthusiastic outlook on life, her own personal healing story (you all must check out her website) and her own passion for all we are doing. Many of you may already know her as Jen from Jen’s Jubilee. We are VERY excited to have her part of our business, and we look forward to moving forward quickly!

Plumber??

Anyone out there able to hook up a bathroom sink? You need to know we have a VERY Old home (prior to 1900) with nice old plumbing – and want to hook up a nice new sink! J Please call us at 629-4301!

Green Onions

Brought them in,
didn’t sell them,
now on sale!
Sure tried!

If you don’t buy them you find them in our:
Hummus, pizzas, lasagna, stuffed trout, and green drink!

Ok, not the green drink……

Thursday Class- Your Daily Bread! 7PM

Join our family as we present to you our daily diet! How do you feed a family and live a raw food diet? Can you eat one thing and make another? What do you eat when the family eats? What do they like that you may enjoy? What cooked food do we all eat? Come enjoy samples, questions answer period, and hear it from the lips of babes! Rose (9) and Lilly (7) will talk about how it is growing up in a living food home. Rose will knock your socks off with the best tasting berry drink you have ever tasted (guaranteed) complete with fish oils! I just about flipped over when I tasted what she and Lilly make everyday. And yes, it even has GREENS! Julia will demonstrate the eating habits of a typical raw food teenager (she will even pack up a lunch) and discuss what happens in the lunchroom at school. What motivates husbands and children to eat well? THIS WILL! BONUS FEATURE: Eric (19) will make his delicious protein pack with maca-cacao-green-chia seed- anything he can find raw dessert! YUM! Cost: $15.00

Weddings

If you arrive and our parking lot looks full – DON’T LEAVE! We always have open parking in front of the store for our wedding guests. Pull on up and enjoy shopping and don’t worry about the wedding whether it is outdoors or indoors. Besides, what better thing to witness than an outdoor wedding on a beautiful day in our lovely gardens?

Speaking of…..you are welcome anytime to stroll through the gardens.

Plants

We have a nice variety of plants still left for your gardening pleasure! Eva, who brought in many varieties of tomatoes, went nuts this year and is anxious to see if we can move these tomatoes. Now on the tomatoes note, if you bought tomatoes last week consider yourself luck as I never noticed that the second round of tomatoes prices were higher (they were larger) and we sold them for less than we bought them for! What a nice place this Nature’s Garden is! So this week they are up a bit from last week, but worth every penny. Heirloom seeds, organic soil and worm castings? You can’t go wrong! Herbs, egg plants, and peppers still available as well!

NEW APPLES – Autumn Greeting

Karen has a NEW favorite apple! WOW was it a treat to walk through the produce department last week looking for a snack when I saw Roger had ordered a new apple. I don’t usually grab apples, because many of them are so sweet, but I thought I would try. WOWSA! They are fantastic! I left some for you to try, so come on in and enjoy a wonderful snack yourself! YUM! Don’t let the name fool you – you don’t need to wait until autumn....

Keynote and Public Speaking

For many years it has been a desire to enter the world of public speaking. The time has come! It has been an incredible journey thus far, as I have enjoyed speaking around WI at colleges, businesses, courthouses, doctor’s practices, a nursing association and churches. Our family and business team believes the time has come to have others run the office and kitchen, so I can spend the hours I do work motivating and inspiring others to take control of their health, naturally. Please review the Motivator-Presenter Brochure and letter of recommendation (from a professor in Milwaukee) and pass it on to your employers, pastors, friends or business associates. Thank you!

Last month I had my first Thermal Image.

I was feeling great. Although my regular exercise regimen was at bay due to the recent expos, I was very active and truly felt healthy and balanced.

My Image showed otherwise!

As soon as the first gray scale image was up I noticed my hormones were out of wack! Really? I didn’t feel a thing! Hormones govern growth, development, and multiple mental and physical functions throughout life. Hormonal imbalances can cause too much or too little of certain hormones to be released. As every cell is impacted by your hormones, balance is of utmost importance!

I started on our Hormonal Changese tincture the next day. Our herbalist makes it after the same pattern Dr. Christopher does, using all organic herbs in a base of organic grape alcohol. It is AMAZING!

Two weeks later my cycle kicked in. For years now I have enjoyed a very short, but very aggressive cycle. NO MORE! This cycle came and went within days and I hardly even knew it!

I cannot wait to see the other changes that will take place in my body as my hormones balance out, and to have another image done in a few months to see my progress.

I would recommend thermal imaging to ANYONE who breathes. Please visit our website and read more about what Thermal Imaging can detect in both men and women. From TMJ, CTS, IBS, nerve concerns to the obvious cancer and hormones, Thermal Imaging is a must in early detection.

To your VERY BEST HEALTH! – Karen

Plants are in and moving QUICK!

BEAUTIFUL veggies for the garden all grown in worm castings from heirloom seeds. YUM! You can save the seeds from these plants and grown them for your great great great great grandchildren! (you get the picture) NO GMO seeds available here!

Chicken on Sale!

Stock up this week only on sweet Smart Chicken for the summer. No growth hormones used on these chicks! These chickens were allowed to roam free and eat well.

Thursday May 26th 7:00 PM Spice up your kitchen with Herbs!

Herbs and Spices for Cooking with Chris and Joy. We can’t wait for this class! Fresh herbs are WONDERFUL in everything from pancakes to rice dishes, salads, casseroles and beans. Learn what herbs and spices to use with what foods, multi herb/spice combinations, cutting/using/drying herbs and most importantly…..what herbs you like so you can plant them in your garden! We will have plenty of fresh herbs to sample. YUM!!! To herb infinity and beyond! Enjoy our master herbalist (Chris) in his COMFORT zone! Cost $15.00

NEW CLASS SCHEDULE!
Here it is! The new summer schedule is here! ENJOY! I know we are all EXCITED!

Sara’s is Back!
Sarah Bronson will be coming into town and has a few appointments still open! Sarah Bronson is a dear friend of our nurse, Teresa, and is from Florida. Both Teresa and Sara were in the same Wellness Center in Palm Beach. Sarah practices a technique called Brain Balance, and because it is hard to put into words, she simply calls it Happiness Alignment!

When I was introduced to what Sarah does, it was not hard at all to understand, as I have been exposed to much of the circulating techniques of healing for two decades now. Our daughter Emily is completing her certification in The Body Code, and it is similar to what Sarah offers.

Simply stated, The Body Code, Brain Balance, Happiness Alignment, EFT, simply are ways to release emotions, feelings and even chemicals from the body. I have taken part in all of these methods and love it! I still use the Emotional Freedom Technique EFT when I can’t fall asleep and it works great! Sarah will be speaking on this Wednesday, and if you are interested in seeing her, please call soon as her time is almost completely full! Sarah has openings each day May 11-17.

Organic Sod?
We just cut a new 100 x 60 foot garden and rolled the sod! If anyone is interested, we are asking $1.5 a roll and have about half that area left. Please call 629-4300.

The Wedding Season is here!

For those of you new to shopping at Nature’s Garden, you may not be aware that we host weddings many Saturdays during the summer. The upper parking lot is ALWAYS left open for Nature’s Garden shoppers! If you arrive and the parking lot looks full for a wedding, please just pull up to the store. NOTE: We have MANY outdoor weddings. IF you arrive during an outdoor wedding, please pull up slowly so as to not disturb the wedding. The wedding times are always: 1:30 pm, 3:30 pm and occasionally we have an 11:00 am. We do NOT have weddings each Saturday, but when weddings are going on, do not leave! Just come on up to shop!!

NEW PRODUCTS GALORE!

Our TOOTH POWDER is here! We actually label it T & G powder as we cannot sell the INCREDIBLE herb comfrey for internal use. I suppose it healed too many people but WE ALL STILL USE IT! Heck, I use it in my green smoothies! Many have asked what we use for toothpaste and this is it. We have labeled it appropriately, and you will see we recommend it for external use only…..and you can do with it what you wish!

Here are other new products! Mrs . Meyers Clean Day Bathroom Cleaner Lemon and Lavender, Nature’s Garden Organic Rosemary, Nature’s Garden Coriander Powder, Nature’s Garden Paprika, Organic Spearmint Tea, A Crazy NEW The Soap Bag that hold your soaps in the shower! We LOVE them and have sold so many since we brought them in last week! Also, new Sandwich Sacks to replace the plastic bags (our kids love them and use them daily) and some new reading books: The Raw Life by: Paul Nison, The Daylight Diet by Paul Nison, and Raw Knowledge by Paul Nison.

OUR GARDENS

We enjoy the beauty of the gardens here and welcome you to enjoy them too! If you would like to stroll in the gardens when you come to shop, please feel welcome. If you have children, they MUST hold your hand. We are quite strict when it comes to children in our gardens, so please respect this one request. As the weather warms up you will find our Yoga classes will be in the Gardens as well! We will have different musical groups perform for us as well in the gardens….and will keep you posted!

PLANTS and SEEDS!

Organic Veggies and Herbs will be here in two weeks! ALL have been planted in rich organic soil with worm castings. These plants will be incredible in your garden! Our heirloom organic seeds are in the store and waiting for your first tilling! DISCOUNTED 2009 and 2010 seeds are available as well.

Tiffany, Debbie, Kelly – who are these people!?

Tiffany joins us up in the Wellness Center. Tiffany is a delightful CNA who is helping Teresa with her appointments. Tiffany has adorable young children and is very excited to join the team! Tiffany has been training for many months under Teresa, and is a dear friend to all she meets. Debbie is a lovely woman who has been hired to keep us all on track up in the Wellness Center. Debbie is taking over all of my accounting responsibilities, and is going to run the office so I can PLAY! With the many speaking engagements coming my way, I can’t WAIT to get into the public more and leave the daily “grind” to someone who loves accounting! Ha! Perhaps my book will get finished with some extra time on my hands……. Kelly is our daughter Amy’s best friend. (They are both 4.0 students neck-to-neck at their school for valedictorian!) Kelly will be helping with our new computer program for the kitchen so we can mass produce some of our items for sale at other stores. Kelly will also be helping at the register in the store. Say hello when you meet her! WELCOME to Everyone!

FAMILY UPDATES!

YOU CAN STOP READING NOW (but you sure don’t need too!), AS THE FOLLOWING is intended for all those customers who know our family and enjoy the updates! Here are updates from Eric, Amy and Jenna!

Eric: (19) Many of you know Eric has been anxiously awaiting his mission call, and it came! Eric will be serving in the Spanish Speaking Orlando Florida Mission for two years! He is very excited and has saved several thousand dollars towards his mission. He is honored and excited to serve the wonderful people in that part of our amazing country. Eric leaves June 17th and if you would like to attend his open house please join us June 12th starting at 4:00 pm.

Amy (16) is still living in South Africa on a Foreign Exchange. She will return in Early July!

Dear Friends and Family,

Hello Everyone! Here are some differences between Cape Town and home, and an update on my experience thus far. It has been so incredible, thank-you again to everyone that helped get me here!
School: The season of Touch Rugby has now ended, which is the sport Janell and I played this term. It's like rugby, but instead of brutally tackling each other you aggressively "touch" them, and thus there are slightly different rules. Its really fun! (If you want to learn... let me know and we'll organize a game sometime!)

Cost of Living The basic living costs are much less here compared to home- food, apartments, clothing (depending on where you shop, obviously), transportation, and so forth, costs a lot less. (Not vehicles, electronics, name brand shoes, etc. though). All of the groceries on the counter in the picture attached cost just over70 Rand, or $10! (That would be a big white pumpkin, honeydew melon, 2 roughly 2lb bags of carrots, a giant cucumber, bag of grape tomatoes, loaf of bread, bag of mixed salad, a few peaches and 5 mangoes.) It’s awesome! “Fruit & Veg Mart” is one of the largest lines of produce stores in SA, and is the object of my heart’s adoration. 3 When I begin misbehaving, or scavenge some of Neville’s food, he just threatens not to take me there for a week and it snaps me line quick! Haha!

You must know that wages are also much smaller compared to home, so the lower cost of things is necessary for survival for many. The average factory worker (and many do work in factories) makes 800 Rand a week, which comes out to about R 19/hr, or $2.71/hr. Ingrid pays her employees R17 an hour, or $2.42/hr, and at fast food restaurants it’s around R10, or $1.42/hr. Even though the cost of living is lower, these low wages certainly don’t help people move up on the economic ladder or rise above the line of poverty (which unfortunately is drawn at around 50% of the population). It’s really sad, and because South Africa is competing with China on the global market in many areas (especially clothing), they can’t raise the wages or the prices of items any more or else they’d lose the business and thousands of people and factory workers would become jobless (which here all to soon could mean homeless). It’s like they’re trapped in their economic status. With unemployment at 23%, people take what jobs they can get despite the pay, and keep it.

Climate
Africa has fulfilled its stereotype of being freakishly hot. It gets up past the 100s some days! I recall one day pulling chocolate out of the cupboard inside and finding it melted! But other than those squelching times, the weather is truly beautiful. Giant sun, lots of wind, and very occasional showers.

Autumn is here now, so things are cooling off. My word, it is HILARIOUS seeing people shiver some mornings, scurrying around in scarves and multiple layers when the temperature drops to that deadly 70°! I keep inviting them to come to Wisconsin for a day and feel where the word cold really came from.

FOOD!
One of the best aspects of this foreign experience is all of the FOOD! It is certainly different, often unheard of (seriously), totally delicious, and almost always homemade. I am enjoying it to the moon and back (and learning how to make it, so when I get home invite me over to cook for your family a South African meal!)

The fruit and vegetable selection is huge and it’s all deliciously fresh! YUM! South Africa has a climate and landscape that can grow produce of any sort: peaches, pineapples, oranges, bananas, cabbages, apples, plums, root vegetables, mangoes, litches (these funky spiky small sweet fruits) and so much more. Thankfully, my outstanding consumption of these (and activity in sports) offsets my endless consumption of all of the other fantastic SA delicacies, which would otherwise be plumping me up quick as they're not considered healthy, especially to someone coming from a home of raw foodists and health freaks!

School Dance!
The Valentine’s Day Ball, way back in February, was so crazy fun! And also a unique experience. For one, back in Slinger we don’t get patted down and searched by security when we enter the dances, but we don’t have amazing techno music with marimbas and drums in it either!

A comedian that spoke at one of the weekly all-school assemblies in the beginning of the year had made the joke that when white people dance, it looks like they’re being shot at by an automatic gun. That was one of his jokes I actually understood and joined in with the rest of the student body he had pealed over in laughter, as my friends and I actually have a dance move we call the automatic gun! So exchanging dance moves such as that and many others, with their dance moves (which I have NO IDEA how to name!) was truly a ball!! Their dancing is so different.

Random Patriotic Note
On a side, more patriotic note, I want to throw in how thankful I am to be part of America for reasons beyond the fact that it is a stable, developed, and advanced country.

A couple of days after the disaster in Japan, an article headline in a newspaper here read “Americans dig deep in their pockets to help”, and then reported the awing amount of money and support that had been sent to Japan in a matter of days. And later, when the topic was brought up at school, a mate commented that was “typical America” and said America’s always somewhere helping people after disasters. In both instances I thought hey- that’s my country! There is a deep sense of pride that comes along with being part of a nation that is so willing to give and help when someone stands in need, and that is what I felt and feel today.

The USA certainly has its issues, faults within the government and angry citizens protesting in the streets of capitols, but being a nation based off of the institution of service and sacrifice is worth something great, and it is our unselfish response to the need of others on countless occasions that has made our generous support in Japan typical.

So to me, being an American doesn’t just mean having a significant amount of rights, enjoying football and patriotic events, living a politically high profile life, and being part of one the most unhealthy and nutritionally ignorant group of humans ever to have lived, it means being thankful for all that I have—in it’s incredible abundance—and giving some of that away to my neighbor, digging into my pocket, when they stand in need. Because that is what we do.

Have a fantastic and productive week filled with gratitude!

And the last update but not at all the least…….

Jenna (21) is serving her mission in Las Vegas! In her last letter she called Las Vegas HEAVEN! Well, I sure would have never thought that about Nevada, but Jenna is in the thick of INCREDIBLE people and teaching others about Her Savior. Following is her Easter letter. If you are interested in receiving any future updates form Jenna (she writes weekly and we post the letters) please send us a reply and we will add you to her personal mailing list. Jenna does not Facebook, text, call or contact anyone from home during the week, with the exception of one hour for emails a week. SHE LOVES IT and her letters are AMAZING!

“This month’s message is about the very best message of all….our Savior! This Easter Sunday I challenge you to look to the future, forget your trials and find relief in the Saviors arms. Any troubles you have, tell your Heavenly Father. This Easter come to realize that your Savior truly saves!

“He is Risen” is the very best news the world has ever known. The Man who suffered the most, was tempted the most, and was trodden down the most, has overcome all! Because of our Saviors triumph over death, endurance in suffering, patience with affliction, correspondence with the father, unconditional love towards every child of God and humble submission for us, we can escape sin and live with our Father again.

Because our Savior is so personal, it is important to know He has personal feelings. It hurts Him when we complain to the father. He cries when we sin. He is heartbroken if we don’t pray to the Father each day. It kills Him when we don’t repent and mock His glorious atonement and Heavenly Fathers eternal plan.

Jesus is real. Feel Him. Know him. Touch the prints in His hands by submitting yourself to the will of the Father. Bow before Him by serving your brother. Tell Him you love Him by following the example He showed to us. Let Him hold you and uplift you, by praying to God and pour out your deepest concerns and sorrow to Him. Show Him your heart has been changed and aligned with His desires by shouting praises to your God! Become like the Savior in all ways.

We don’t become like Christ in a day. It will take a lifetime. Eternal friendships are formed over time. Give him your time; give him your life.

God has a continual plan for your life. Never forget that the chosen have the most trials. Look to Christ and live. Heavenly Father loves you. He will bless you and not only will the windows of heaven be opened but the very hosts of heaven will should hallelujah and surround you day by day.

“At the last moment the master could have turned back. He did not. He passed beneath all things.” April 2011 Ensign

Do not see your Savior as dying on the cross or lying in the tomb. See Him as the Savior, Risen, Glorified Lord, Master of the Whole Earth.

He is not dead. HE IS RISEN!”

If you read to the end, thank you!

Thank you for being part of our lives, we truly appreciate each of you who shop and support our family. Enjoy a beautiful day!

NEW CLASS MONDAY April 11th 7:30 PM

One of Teresa’s dear friends and business associate is flying in to do work with many customers of Nature’s Garden. Her schedule is almost full, but she has managed to keep Monday night open for a class. Sara Bronson uses Emotional Stress De-fusion to help you act in the “now” rather than RE-ACT from the past. Using biofeedback from your body, One-Brain© corrections allows you access to data stored on the cell level. By using simple corrections, negative emotions attached to past events are released and de-fused. Once those neuro-pathways no longer run the show, you are free to create new pathways! Release reactionary patterns - Create desired, positive changes - Discover emotional wellness. Sarah is a delightful presenter and you will enjoy what she has offered to thousands of people in Florida. Heck, perhaps we can get the entire staff from Teresa’s clinic in Florida to move up to WI yes? Class fee is $20.00.

Nature’s Garden offers Massage!

One of the women who shops at our store is just finishing her degree in Massage therapy. Jenny is qualified and excited to share with you her work in full body relaxation massage, side lying massage (for those unable to lay on their fronts or backs) and AIS muscle stretching. I asked Jenny to share something about herself and these are the notes she left: “I love meeting new people , the outdoors, gardening, tiger lilies, the color purple and taking walks in the summer. I have a dog named Pixie who is absolutely adorable and I love making people relax and forget their stresses!”

Jenny is available for one hour massages Monday 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday 8 AM – 11 AM, and Saturday 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM. When Jenny’s schooling is complete, her hours will be extended. Please give us a call if you are interested in enjoying her gift of massage! As I write, Teresa is receiving a massage and exclaimed “Jenny is WONDERFUL! After returning from a plane flight with a severely tight neck, shoulder and back, this is exactly what I needed!” Teresa is now able to turn her head without pain and she tells of some work Jenny did with her shoulder blade that everyone needs to experience. Needless to say, Teresa booked another massage!

Prices are $45.00 an hour.

YOGA

The attendance to the AMAZING yoga classes keeps rising! Chad is a wonderful instructor, and we are so happy to have him with us. Classes are Wednesdays at 4 and 6 PM and Fridays at 6 and 9 AM. As we are still working out the times that attract the most people, please let us know other times that would work for you! We will soon be offering other yoga classes that are designed with specific medicinal concerns in mind. i.e. Yoga for breast health, yoga for the liver and gallbladder, yoga for digestive issues. Chad is anxious to share with us the many modalities he has learned. Thank you Chad!

Another Testimony!

Although we receive countless words of thanks every week, some of them just need to be shared. Here is one that touched us because it was so easy to relate to her as a busy yet exhausted woman.

“Before I started coming to Nature’s Garden I felt terrible. I had pinching and severe abdominal pain. I had no energy at all, and literally felt as If I would die. My doctor wanted to put me on anti-depressants but I felt like that was not the answer or what I was supposed to do. A friend told me about Nature’s Garden, their Wellness Center, classes and store. I had no idea what to do or what to expect. I came in for a lymphatic treatment and felt crappy all the way home. However, I noticed my constant head ache was gone.
I started the green drinks that everyone at Nature’s Garden recommended. I then realized I was in need of deep cleansing. I came to my second lymphatic appointment and afterwards felt really good. I felt like “OK, this is what I need to be doing and where I am supposed to go”. As I worked on cleaning and regulating my bowels, I realized that my entire life I had a problem with constipation, I just never knew it.

Everyone always has come before me, my husband, my family, everything came before me. Now I am taking time for myself. Now I realize that what I put in my body really makes a difference. I feel the difference. I feel more energy, especially in the morning, and my body really wants green drinks and vegetables. I love red peppers! I am enjoying foods I never knew existed, like kale. I just had rain drop therapy and I feel really great. Teresa is such a miracle worker. God is really good. It is He who directed me here, and I am coming back for more.” - Linda

Tasting Safari at Kids Fest April 16-17, 2011 in Milwaukee!

We have been offered the opportunity to present a Tasting Safari to the children of the Milwaukee area during KidsFest. Last year 19,000 people attended. This is a huge commitment for us, as we need to raise the money to sponsor all of the children that will attend. The estimated number of children we will be serving is 2,000. We will not be serving all 100 foods, but rather a more modest representation of living foods so children do not spend more than 20-30 minutes in the Safari.
We are looking for the following help:
#1) People who wish to help pass out tasty raw samples of food April 16th and 17th at the State Fair Park Grounds.
#2) Staff who can call for sponsorships. WE REALLY NEED THIS HELP ASAP SO PLEASE CALL TODAY!
You may either volunteer your hours or receive hourly pay. Please let us know! We need help today!

Dr. Richard Williams, M.D.

Dr. Williams will be speaking at Nature’s Garden Wellness Center on Tuesday, March 22 at 7:00 PM. Dr. Williams has worked as a physician for 40 years, 19 of which were in Thailand. He is a natural “healer” to many and is an inspirational speaker. He is being hosted by those associated with an Multi Level Marketing company know as Tahitian Noni. We are simply opening our building to the Dr. and letting you know of his speaking engagement. There are limited places to hold gatherings, and the sponsors of Dr. Williams had asked if they could use our location for a meeting. Neither Nature’s Garden nor any of our staff members endorse Tahitian Noni, or other products that will be presented, but enjoy learning about all that is available in the world of natural health! There is no fee to attend this presentation. Dr. Williams will present helpful hints in turning off a universal pattern of muscle spasms, as well as studies conducted on the impact Tahitian Noni has on health.

Recipes, YOGA, New Products!

2011-02-28T14:53:00.001-06:00

New Products!
The list of spices we carry just grows and grows, and so does the feedback! The Seasoned Salt flew off the shelves and is a huge hit. YUMMY on potatoes with olive oil! The salt soap for the face we brought in has had incredible results. We use it in our home and we see and feel the difference – smooth faces. This salt soap is designed to help reduce blemishes and acne, and it does! NEW: Organic spices that are incredible! The chives are so green and sooooo tasty you will look for something to add them too! Dill that tastes like you are eating fresh dill, tarragon that can help anyone’s health while being so darn tasty – sweet like anise, and then a beautiful four peppercorn blend of black, white, green and pink peppercorns! For the spicy in heart we have 5,300 crushed red pepper flakes that are perfect. Broccoli and red clover sprouting seeds are back in stock and fenugreek seed tea as the female tonic herb.

Ice Chips (using xylitol) are also in and available for sample at the front counter! YUM! A perfect refreshing “mint” in these flavors: cinnamon, peppermint, cough chips with menthol, wild berry, citrus crème, clove, pineapple and coconut, and licorice. The younger girls in our family bought the wild berry and have it “hidden” at the store so when they come home from school, they get a treat!

YOGA STARTS WEDNESDAY
This week Wednesday Chad will begin Yoga classes. Chad has studied locally and became certified abroad in India. We have all enjoyed his enthusiasm in the raw kitchen, and he is just as helpful when it comes to our physical health. We brought in the best yoga mats available – no toxins, and yoga blocks and straps. You may bring your own yoga mat and supplies if you desire.

Classes will be:
Wednesdays at 4 pm and 6 pm
Fridays at 6 am and 9 am

Traditionally classes are spilt into different levels. Before doing that, we want to know where our students stand! This is a small studio, and Chad is excited to offer individual help throughout the class. Come if you have never done yoga before and feel comfortable. Chad has been working with our staff – all of which have had limited Yoga experience and it has been great!

We would enjoy hearing from those interested in holding yoga class’s alternate days. Please let us know what days and times work best for you! We want to best serve all those interested in attending.

Class limit is 12 Please pre-register by calling 262-629-4301. After our schedule is set, drop-ins will be welcome!

Class fee includes yoga props (mats, blocks, and straps), complimentary tea, mat cleaning supplies, and use of a studio yoga mat if desired. Packages expire one year from purchase, and are non-refundable.
• Drop-in class: $9
• Full time students of all ages $7/class
• 5-class pass: $40
• 10-class pass: $70
• Private sessions: $35+
We recommend you not eat a heavy meal prior to class (2 hours or so), and drink plenty of water! You may bring a water bottle to class as well. Come in comfortable clothing and bring a small towel. Remember to turn off the cell phones!
As some people have asked, we thought we would share that Yoga is not a religion. Even though yoga came out of ancient India it is not a form of Hinduism, Islam, Sikism, Buddhism or any other Indian based religion. Yoga is enthusiastically practiced by all faiths and denominations alike. Come learn why it is loved and practiced by all!

Raw Indian Food Thursday 7 pm!
As Chad just returned from India he is anxious to make some new recipes! We will still have a few of the traditional Indian foods in raw form that are on our class schedule, but Chad is most anxious to share with you some new recipes as well! We love playing with our food! (in the kitchen of course)

Thermography Special: $99.00 for Teens!
Our wellness center is BOOMING at an incredible rate. One thing we have noticed is that most women do not start watching for abnormalities in the breast until they are 40. Women are encouraged by MD’s to have mammograms at this time in their lives. However, with thermography, you can safely see areas of concern at any age. Teresa has worked with girls as young as 10 years of age who had considerable concerns in the breast tissue caused by radiation from outside their home! It is amazing to watch Teresa work and to see the results – so quickly! On our new website (it will be live in a week or so) we have pictures showing a before and after that will take your breath away. By finding and locating the areas of concern and then applying appropriate protocol, you can stop cancer in its tracks. The best thing about having Teresa here is that for all the years she had her practice in Florida, she recommended raw foods and fresh herbal tinctures as part of the wellness protocol! Well now isn’t Nature’s Garden the best fit possible for WI!
Thermography provides the earliest detection of changes in body and breast tissue and is completely safe, using no radiation and no compression. Metabolic activity and vascular circulation in both pre-cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in normal breast tissue seven images are taken in color, displaying heat patterns, and seven images taken in gray-scale, which reveal vascular pattern definition. Gray-scale imaging is the latest advancement in Thermography. Not having gray-scale imaging, adequate information cannot be provided for a complete evaluation. Angiogenic growth (blood supply), also known as neovascularity, is very often a precursor for tumor formation in the breast tissue. Thermography can detect these variances.

The special $99.00 rate for teens will last until April 15th 2011. Other rates are as follows:

Breast Image $125 Allow 1 hour
Full Body - Men $250 Allow 1 ½ hours
Full Body - Women $375 Allow 2 hours
One Point of Interest Image (not the breast) $ 75 Allow ½ hour

These are terrific recipes right from our home kitchen! As we avoid gluten and sugars in our home (other than maple sugar, honey and fruits) we wanted to create a recipe for waffles and pancakes. The following recipe can be used for both! Here you go, and enjoy!
Mind you, this makes a large large batch and they freeze very very well!
Gluten & Sugar Free Waffle & Pancake Delight
1 ¼ cup millet flour
1 cup quinoa
1 cup gluten free oat flour (simply place oats in blender and blend for a few seconds)
¼ cup flax seed meal (simply place flax seeds in blender and blend for a few seconds)
½ cup potato flour (can use rice or amaranth as well)
1 teaspoon salt
3 TB egg replacer (or three eggs)
½ cup oil
4 teaspoons baking powder
Mix together and add 5 1.2 cups water or to desired consistency

Enjoy!

The above recipe calls for 4 cups of flour. Other flour blends we use are as follows, and they both taste great!:
2 cups rice flour, 1 cup coconut flour, 1 cup amaranth flour
2 cups millet flour, 1 cup rice flour, 1 cup amaranth flour
NOTE: water amounts may vary with flour combinations. Coconut flour requires A LOT of water!

The following two newsletters items pertain to the family, so read on only if you have interest!

Grandparents!
And finally, Roger and I became Grandparents! AnnaBelle was born to Allysa and Andrew in California and all are doing well! We believe Roger may have had something to do with the delivery, as apparently she started a small flow while HIKING IN THE MOUNTAINS with my husband during his visit. My goodness, that man and his love for nature! As a Scout Master, he and his scout troop just slept OUTSIDE in 4 degree weather last week in Fond du Lac! AnnaBelle is happy at home with her mother and father and we are happy calling each other…….Grandparents!
Of course, Amy reminded us there were at least 50 more grandchildren coming…….. Heck, I don’t even know how to knit! I better start soon and get a heads up on the blankets!

HEADLINE NEWS : Vaccine Alert from Medical Doctors!

Many of you who attended the Milwaukee Expo remember the booth from the International Medical Council on Vaccination and the wonderful presentation given by Dr. Gayl Hamilton. Today, the International Medical Council on Vaccination (www.VaccinationCouncil.org) has released, exclusively through NaturalNews.com, a groundbreaking document containing the signatures of over 80 family physicians, brain surgeons and professors of pathology, chemistry and immunity, all of which have signed on to a document stating, on the record, that vaccines pose a significant risk of harm to the health of children and that there is no real science backing the "vaccine mythology" which claims that vaccines are somehow good for children. INCREDIBLE studies, research and information you MUST read and pass on to anyone with young children so they can make educated choices regarding vaccines.

This groundbreaking document, called Vaccines: Get the Full Story, is available as a free download from NaturalNews.com. Click HERE to find downloads available in 9 languages, including Spanish, French, Hebrew and Russian.

What to do with Sprouted Tofu?

Of the thousands of products in our store, only a few have soy….for a reason! We avoid all processed non GMO soy products. The only soy we have is organic. Sprouted soy is a delicious and nutritious treat! Try our sprouted tofu in the following dish and enjoy! The recipe comes from Chris and Joy, our herbalists. YUM! They enjoy this with the Sunshine Burgers in our freezer….so will you!

EDITORS NOTE: OK folks, this came with the name Breakfast Scramble and I took the liberty in changing the name as GREEN DRINKS are breakfast foods!  Go GREEN! (Insert Packer spirit here)

Anytime SprouTofu Veggie Scramble:
Serves 2 generously

1/2 block firm sprouted tofu
1 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 small onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
4 oz mushrooms, diced
1 T extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Drain tofu from package, cut the block in half and reserve the liquid to store remaining half. Crumble the half block of tofu in a medium bowl. Add turmeric to tofu and stir well to combine. Set aside.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil, bell pepper, and onion, saute for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and crumbled tofu. Saute 5-7 minutes, until veggies are cooked and tofu is heated through and slightly browned. Take off the heat and add Real Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

While the scramble is cooking, heat a Sunshine meatless breakfast patty in coconut oil over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, turning once.

Incredible Rancheros sin huevos variation: Omit mushrooms. Add 1/4 cup each salsa and non dairy cheddar flavored cheese to scramble after veggies and tofu are cooked.

Salsa fresca: mix two medium chopped tomatoes with 3/4 cup minced onion,2 T chopped cilantro, and juice of 1/2 lime.
Serve rancheros sin huevos in corn tortillas topped generously with salsa fresca. Enjoy anytime of the day!

There is a freezer in the freezer section -imagine that – full of the frozen items!

Green Bean Casserole

I LOVE certain holiday dishes such as the green bean casserole. This love of cooked holiday foods has led this raw food woman to create some tasty loving dishes! Here is one we love! You can serve this raw or warm it up. Use fresh green beans if available, otherwise frozen (thawed) work fine. Rinse and snap green beans and place in bowl. Make Raw Mushroom soup by blending the following: 1.5 cups of mushrooms, just shy of ¼ cup almond butter, just shy of ½ cup water, 1 TB Coconut Aminos and a pinch of salt. Blend and add to green beans. Add raw cashew “cheese” (blend 1/3 cup water with1 tsp seas salt, 5 TB nutritional yeast and ½ cup cashews – preferably soaked but if you don’t have time to soak that is fine…). If you wish to add some onion flavor, I sauté’ onions in olive or tea oil and top the casserole. You can also use dehydrated onions that are just mildly reconstituted. ENJOY! TIP: If you need a quick easy meal or side and don’t mind it not being raw try this: Two bags of frozen organic green beans, organic condensed cream of mushroom soup and make the raw cheese sauce. Warm and enjoy! I have never met anyone who didn’t love this recipe. We have all the ingredients at Nature’s Garden.

Amish Meal
The Amish meal, as our family calls it, is a recipe I adapted more than 17 years ago. We enjoy this a few time a year. It is NOT raw in anyway, and we even use a pound of grass fed organic beef! You don’t need to add the meat, but we add the meat once in a while. This is simply a family favorite, and rose had me make it for her birthday party and every one of the 9 years old boys and girls LOVED it! There are three layers you layer a few times in a LARGE oven proof glass casserole dish. This makes a large casserole, cut in half if you’d like. 1st layer is Noodles. We made this last night with the quinoa noodles and it was incredible. Rice noodles are our second favorite. 2nd Layer is the following sauce: sauté 3 onions, 4-5 cups mushrooms, three to 6 toes of garlic, and blend the ingredients after sautéed. This makes a great creamy sauce and the kids have no idea what they are eating! (Ok, our kids don’t care but yours may!) To the blended sauce add a few cans of tomatoe sauce, a few tablespoons of Nature’s Garden Italian seasoning or Nature’s Garden Pizzazz seasoning, and 1-2 tablespoons of a raw cane sugar or honey. This sauce is where you would add the cooked ground beef if desired. Warm the sauce and layer as indicated (if you don’t eat it all first). 3rd layer is shredded raw cheese or cheese substitute such as shredded Daya cheese. Bake at 350 and amaze your family!

Two days a week we will be setting up appointments for you to meet with Dr. Solano. An 1 ½ hour session will be offered, in addition to regular office visits, in which you can meet with Teresa, myself and Dr. Solano so we can work together to help you in your quest for a healthier life. We hope through these sessions to offer insight into the root of your symptoms, the foods you can eat to help, and offer different means for helping to ease your discomfort and begin to regain your health. Here is a bit about Dr. Solano: Dr. Alexandra Solano, MD, a Fellow of the American Academy of Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine & General Practitioner, Board Eligible in Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine, is passionate about empowering people to take control of their natural aging process by educating them on nutrition, fitness and functional medicine. She earned her medical degree from St. Christopher's College of Medicine IMD in Luton, UK, a Masters Degree in Biomedical Sciences from Barry University in Florida and a BS in Biology from Berry College in Georgia.

Yummy Soup Class 7 pm Thursday January 6th

Soup Soup Soup! Just the word brings warmth to the soul and the tummy! We LOVE making soups, both living soups and slow cooked soups. Come Thursday to learn the tricks of the trade in the soup world. Well…..at least the tricks we have learned the past 30 years! Now, I really enjoy soup, so I have no idea how many soups we will make ahead of time and how many we will make that night. I assure you we will make living (raw) soups, from-scratch bean soups, creamy soups, light grain soup and probably our famous cornbread because I LOVE CORN BREAD! Ok, I get a bit excited……

Change in Class Dues – Donations or FREE!

For the month of January, all classes will have no fees attached! We don’t want people to avoid learning do to their economical circumstances so we thought we would try a donation based class schedule. If this works, we will keep our classes rolling on a donation base or free!

We will not be collecting money downstairs in the café for classes. Instead, when you come to class, donations can be made at the check out counter in the store. We are hopeful even more people will take advantage and come to classes. There is so much to teach and so much to learn! We want you here so you can better your health and the health of your friends and family!

We will not be videotaping any of the classes for the next few months. We find that the atmosphere is a bit more relaxing and we can play more as a group when the camera is not rolling. Plus, I sure don’t need to be as politically correct! THAT DRIVES ME NUTS! If I want to tell you what a certain company is doing to their foods, I will! Whew, that came out quite strong! Classes are a BLAST so come play with us this Thursday!

Baking PERFECT Bread! NEXT Thursday 7 PM

Come bring your bread pan and learn how to bake bread. You will take your FRESH loaf home with you! Trust me, the spouses and kids will send you out the door WITH a donation for you to bring a fresh loaf of bread home! We will be making all organic wheat bread from my favorite wheat – winter white wheat. Gluten free breads will not be covered at this class. Please bring a 2 cup measuring cup, a medium to large mixing bowl, measuring spoons, one mixing spoon and a bread pan. See you next Thursday, January 13th! We WILL start promptly at 7 pm.

As we will not sell synthetic or isolate vitamins, we sold our Meagfood out Quickly! We are restocked now, and we sure were sorry for those items you could not pick up the last few days.

RECIPE IDEA

I made dinner for Roger late one evening this week and wanted to make something warm and fuzzy so opted for a grilled sandwich. I used our raw (living) pizza sauce (made from germinated walnuts and veggies) topped with spinach, tomatoes, zucchini and red onions then grilled as you would a cheese sandwich. YUM! It just happened to have a bite taken out of it before it was delivered… he loved it and didn’t share!

Hello from UTAH!

It has been a wonderful and much needed get-away for Jenna and myself. The mountains are majestic, the weather is perfect for this time of year, and the company terrific! We are visiting “family” in the west, and stopping at historic buildings along the way. Although we are technically on vacation, I sure can't stop what comes naturally....sharing! There have been two Living with Energy presentations scheduled while we are here, one at a doctors home and one tonight, along with one 5 hour raw food class. YUM! It was GREAT to share as much as possible in 5 hours with the wonderful people in the west. Everyone is quite excited, and even a few of the business minds out here are talking among themselves on how to get our products to them! Perhaps a store and classes in the west? Well, whatever comes our way.....but we won't move. Just visit!

HERB CLASS Thursday 7PM
Just a friendly reminder that amidst the subarctic temperatures Wisconsin is having (OK – perhaps not subarctic but COLD) there will be a wealth of health shared when Chris and Joy come for the class on Thursday.

It will be a health book, recipe book and a how-to-treat-the-common-ails-naturally book all in one. I will need help. Anyone interested in helping with editing, typing recipes, making recipes in the kitchen and cover design please let me know!

Enjoy your week!

Edible Skin Care: RUMMAGE

2010-12-01T08:40:00.001-06:00

Jen herself went through a transformation. To the right you see a “before” picture, below you see the “after” picture, just look at her now! Come enjoy her enthusiastic look on life!

Jen notes on her website: You are what you eat... but are we listening?

Take a look at yourself & honestly answer these questions:
*What does your body look like on the outside?
*How do you feel? (ex. physical, emotional)

What we "FEED" ourselves: you put in your mouth, apply on your skin, and environmentally experience shows on YOUR BODY INSIDE & OUT

This is Jen AFTER her amazing changes, and challenges. Just one year ago Jen was suffering with Thyroid cancer. Today, she takes no synthetic or pharmaceutical drugs, and treats her condition with her 95% raw food lifestyle. Jen is an amazing woman, and we are not only thrilled to have her come present this weeks class, but blessed to have her on our team working with the Tasting Safaris and Expos.

Come enjoy Jen’s Jubilee! THURSDAY December 2nd 7:00 PM

Attention St. Nick! Ideas for YOU!

Hot cocoa stuffers only $4.50, our own organic body and hair soaps $5.00, our organic pancake and granola mixes $5.00, cozy home-made hats $8.00, organic spice jars (hint: all women LOVE the Cozy Spice, Pizzaz, Caribbean Blend and Italian Dressing Mix), wassail and mulling spice blends, a bottle of organic wine, organic soups, and what about those oranges!? St. Nick always leaves fruit in our children’s stockings. YUM! Now about St. Nick…….he may want some hot cocoa too! Or perhaps our Oil of Oregano for when he starts to feel a little sick, or Relax Ease so he can sleep better, or Bee Pollen for when he feels a bit worn down……

It’s cold outside, use your OILS!

For many of us, this cool weather instinctively makes us desire more cooked foods. I too enjoy warmed foods in the evening. We use our flavored oils in many of our dishes and WOW does it make a difference! A couple nights ago we used our Italian Herb olive oil on our baked potatoes with our Pizzaz seasoning….YUM! Could have eaten a dozen! But alas, like most people, starches seem to hover around my waist so……I ate two! Try our other oils for sautéing foods, or use light oils such as the orange or lemon oil in fresh tossed salads. Try them in baked goods too! You don’t need much to make a difference, and it is a GREAT way to replace some of the butter you may be using.

Wellness Center Educational Day!

As we have come to learn, education is the KEY to your vibrant health! When we learn, we are better equipped to make decisions regarding our health. We want you to be empowered to make decisions that will impact your life for the better. Learning the causes of illness helps you avoid being sick! The tremendous response we have had from others after they attend a Living with Energy class and make simple changes is EXCITING for both the giver and the receiver! Education is the KEY.

DECEMBER 4th is our first of many FREE Educational Days we will offer at Natures Garden. We will have seminars, food samples, herb classes, and outside educational speakers throughout the year. Each Educational Day will be different. This Saturday, December 4th, Teresa Lopez LPN and Critical Care Nurse will share some of what she offers at our Wellness Center. (Each topic below is explained in more detail at our website on the Wellness Center tab. We wanted to keep this as brief as possible!). The day will run as follows:

8:45am Registration **First eight clients to arrive will receive 15 minutes of Reflexology or MediCupping Facial between Noon to 2pm
9:00am Teresa’s Top Two All Time Favorite Green Smoothies
9:15am BioMat Basics**15minute BioMat sessions will be available for all who attend.

NOTE: We will be opening a new Wellness Center the second week of February. We will have 4-5 rooms and will offer other services as well! The retreat center will be opening in February too. It is beautiful, and will be a wonderful place for weekend and month long retreats! SO MUCH good news!

Why use organic?

Let’s just show you a few numbers from a diagram showing a comparative analysis of the nutrient content of organic and non-organic food from the Firman Bear Report, Rutgers University. For CALCIUM: og snap peas: 45.5, non-og snap peas:15.5, og cabbage: 60, non-og cabbage: 17.5, og lettuce:71 non-og lettuce:16, og tomatoes: 23, non-og tomatoes: 4.5, og spinach: 96,non-og spinach: 47.5 for a complete report on these vegetables, visit http://organicbuyingclubsofla.com/facts/336/ ORGANIC produce is safer to eat and offers more nutrients. Study after study proves this. We carry local organic produce as well as produce from around the states. Our produce is delivered 2-3 times a week! We sell thousands of pounds of produce each month, and can assure you it is worth the small extra cost. Besides the nutritional value, the taste is always different. WE LOVE ORGANIC PRODUCE! Enjoy!

Living With Energy!!

It was quite the honor to speak at MSOE this week. I had been asked to give the Living with Energy class – and it was fun! Every time that classis given we change it up. New facts, new studies, and new faces. If your place of business would like to host a class, please let me know. I have spoken a few times for the county at their courthouse and am now being asked to offering cooking classes there as well. Getting the word out about REAL food and GREAT health is working! People desire to feel great, and it is possible with every bite they take.

The Living with Energy class is a bird’s eye view of the body – complete with a real to life digestion track (I have fun with that one.) We explore how it is possible to live without sickness, without medication and without pain. Discussion on cancers, arthritis, proteins, calcium, minerals, enzymes and foods make for a jam packed hour that can change your life – for the best! You will learn how to never be sick again and LIVE WITH ENERGY!

2010-10-05T07:30:00.001-05:00

Thursday, October 7th The AMAZING WORLD of Aromatherapy

Come enjoy the fresh & revitalizing scents that heal! Learn the basics of using fragrant essential oils. Learn the tricks and secrets to blending oils, using carrier oils and some basic medicinal uses as well. Essential oils can promote healing, ease pain, and reduce stress. Historically they have helped people stop smoking, ease asthma attacks, clear acne, and clear up numerous other ailments. Come learn how! Ask your fundamental questions, such as “can I take essential oils internally – without upsetting my organs?” and get the answers from Pat Molter – our amazing aroma therapist.

Educate before you Vaccinate

We found something amazing. There is a professional group of MD'S, Practicing Medical Doctors, that will NOT under any circumstance vaccinate. They also will NOT prescribe 85% of the current pharmaceuticals!

We are working with them now to present a seminar at the Expo.

Here is the link to their amazing site. This group of doctors has a mission, and that is to serve and protect YOU from vaccinations. PLEASE visit their site. PLEASE take time and study what you are putting into your body.

Every chemical you put in your body affects your health. Weather it be aspartame, NutraSweet, any of the ingredients you find in that can of soda, body lotion, or a well promoted vaccine (have you noticed the flu vaccine craze in advertising? there is a reason for so much advertising....), chemicals are chemicals and cannot process though your body without effect. (If you don't believe me, ask someone weaning from cigarettes, caffeine, anti-depressants or any drug, the side affects are terrible.) Avoid chemicals and avoid the side effects.

Detailed Volunteer INFO!

If you are interested in volunteering or working at the expo (or working at Nature's Garden), please read on!

Volunteers may help during any of the 4.5 hour slots. In appreciation for your efforts, you will receive: a 2 day pass to the expo OR certificates to attend 2 of our Health and Cooking Classes; and are invited to a Volunteer Appreciation Harvest Party!!

Employees must work a minimum of 15 hours. You will receive $7.50 an hour. (Sorry folks, we are a young non-profit. Better wages next year!)

WE NEED HELP NOW WITH:

Distributing flyers to elementary schools: with the exception of one, all school districts within four counties have approved handing out the Tasting Safari flyers!

Placing our yard signs in Washington, Dodge, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Milwaukee counties.

Cutting THOUSANDS of samples of food for the Tasting Safari. (This must be done in our licensed kitchen in Allenton, WI)

HELP WE NEED AT THE EXPO:

Working the ticket table for the Tasting Safari and pre-sale expo tickets at entrance.

Food Handlers: Passing food to Tasting Safari participants during the Safari.

Safari Guides: Giving the Tasting Safaris! This will require reading a script and working with children.

Total Tally: Each young participant can win prizes for each 20 items they sample. We need to count and enter each child’s name for raffle prizes.

Speaker Rooms: We need a monitor to make sure the speakers end on time, and that the flow between presentations (4 presentations at a time) goes well.

Video Booth: We have a video program where anyone around the world can view all of our seminars from each expo, all cooking classes and health classes from their home! This booth will have sample videos playing, and you will simply pass out flyers about the program.

Demonstration Monitor: We have an area on the Expo floor that has different groups performing and demonstrating. You will make sure the microphone works, area is clean, and people start and end on time.

Set Up and Tear Down: Setting up and tearing down!

NATURE’S GARDEN NEEDS:

Help with the following booths:

BlendTec: You will be making smoothies and demonstrating the BlendTec Blender

NutriTeam Distiller: You will be showing people what comes out of the water they drink, and explaining why distilled water is ESSENTIAL to great health. (For the non- converted reading this: distilled water does not remove organic minerals from the body – only non organic! And boy howdie, you have a lot of those if you breath, eat, or if you drink city, bottle or well water! WE LOVE DISTILLED WATER! But alas, this is not a letter about distilled water - although it can change your life! so I will get back to pleading for help…..HELP!)

Raw Booth: Demonstrating the Spiralizer, dehydrators and explaining the basics of the raw food diet.

Kitchen Manager: Although this has nothing to do with the expo, we thought we would send this out with the NEED list! We are interviewing for a KITCHEN MANAGER 20-40 hours a week. Interested? Call 262-629-4300

Now don’t worry, this looks like quite a list, and it is, but we will have help from culinary schools, high school National Honor society members, Volunteer Societies and people like YOU!

We will have a volunteer meeting on October 9th from 9-11 am. If you cannot make the Saturday meeting, there are two other dates you can choose from: Thursday October 7th or the 14th at 6 PM.

PLEASE respond to this email or call 262-629-4301 if you, your friend, your aunt, your dog (well, no dogs I suppose) or ANYONE you know can help! This event will be TERRIFIC! Visit our website for details! www.vibrantlifevibrantchild.com
