We’ve embraced the convenience of microwaves, but have we really thought through some of the consequences of using them? Here’s some important cancer news being distributed by one of the US’s major research facilities, John Hopkins:
Many people are doing incredible harm to their health every morning, in just five minutes. Can you guess how? The Shower!
Simply stated chlorine is a pesticide, the sole purpose of which is to kill living organisms. When we consume water-containing chlorine, it kills some part of us, destroying cells and tissue inside our body. Read more…

Opting for more vegetables and less meat could be the route to lower blood pressure.
London’s Imperial College has recently completed a study of over 250000 people, which claims that elements present in vegetable protein, but not meat protein, can reduce or control blood pressure. Researchers suggest that amino acids and magnesium present in vegetables may both contribute to lowering blood pressure.
The findings support the advice to eat more fruit and vegetables. But many of us have difficultly consuming the 5 proportions recommended of fruit and vegetables to achieve this health outcome. The answer? Juicing. Have a look through the different recipes or go shopping and order your own living juicer for the healthy home!

Living a Healthy Lifestyle with Vitality 4 Life Products
A raw food diet or a diet rich with raw foods is an essential way to maintain optimal health. Raw foods are also known as “living foods” – foods with the maximum nutrition and enzyme content which means they digest extremely well. Living foods are fruits, vegetables, sprouts, nuts, seeds, grains, sea vegetables and other organic/natural foods that have not been processed.
Shower in chlorine free water with the Aquasana Shower Filter
More chemicals enter our body through skin absorption and inhalation of steam while showering than from drinking water. This happens because the pores of our skin open up with the warm water which draws in the tap water commonly containing traces of synthetic chemicals, heavy metals, parasites and chlorination by products that pose significant health risks. Typically, there is as much or more chlorine in your tap water as in most pools.
When chemicals are inhaled into our lungs they enter directly into our bloodstream amd have magnified adverse effects as compared to ingested chemicals which are partially filtered aout by the liver and kidneys.
So we can either filter out these poisons prior to consumption (with a shower filter) or force our bodies to become the filter. The Aquasana shower water filter provides naturally healthy, chemical free water for showering. The water saving shower head, with a delux adjustable pressure enhancing shower head, also softens the water so you’ll notice a difference to the texture of your skin and hair.
Drink pure water with our selection of whole house and counter top water filters
Aquasana’s dual filter countertop drinking water system easily attaches to your kitchen tap and provides the best quality water for you and your family. This system not only reduces or removes chlorine, but also lead and herbicides without interfering with the natural minerals in water.
Aquasana is the #1 rated home water filtration system – they work better and cost less than any other brand! It can also be installed out of sight with the undersink conversion system, with a chrome pure water tap.
Make a ‘living’ fruit and vegetable juice with our award winning range of Oscar single gear cold pressing juicers
Single gear juicers extract more juice and nutrients from fruit and vegetables than any other juicer. You could be experiencing the health giving benefits of ‘living juice’ in your home within days.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices taste great and are ideal for your health, with extremely high nutritional value which your body quickly assimilates thus reducing your medical and health related costs.
A single gear juicer ‘cold presses’ fruits and vegetables to produce a ‘living juice’ with a shelf life of up to 48 hours, whereas a common high speed ‘centrifugal’ juicer draws in high levels of oxygen which quickly deteriorates the quality of enzymes, nutrients and vitamins in the juice.
Grow your own super foods in the Easygreen automatic sprouter
The automatic sprouter by EasyGreen really takes the mess out of sprouting. If you love consuming fresh sprouts but have had difficulty with the continuing process required to grow them, then this sprouter is the perfect compliment to your living food kitchen.
The Easy Green sprouter automatically soaks, rinses, mists, oxygenates and drains the sprouts ready for you to eat in 7 – 10 days. This sprouter has 5 trays so you can sprout an abundant mix of organic sprouting seeds at the one time such as alfalfa, broccoli, lentil, mung, sunflower and wheatgrass. The trays can be placed directly in the fridge.
Sprouts have the greatest nutrient activity of all raw foods. This is because sprouts are actually still in the process of growing. They are at the peak of their life force. The body readily absorbs these nutrients from sprouts, and they are easily digested. This saves your body energy. Because sprouts, or germinated seeds, are pre-digested food, they have what-s called a “higher biological efficiency value” than whole seeds, whether raw or cooked.
Detoxify in an Infrared Sauna
In conjunction with Brian Clements, Director of the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, Vitality 4 Life has undertaken extensive research to source the most effective high quality sauna available.

The saunas are simple to install, run from a normal power point, inexpensive to run and completely portable. Have the pleasure of relaxing pain relief, detoxification and skin care in the comfort of your home. Pre-wired for your stereo system of choice, all Soft-Heat saunas come with built-in speakers.
Cancer is a stealthy and dangerous disease that is not well understood. There have been links made between cancer and high risk behaviors, but there is no clear recipe for either the development of or the avoidance of cancer. Many naturopathic doctors, however, say that cancer prevention is possible when you adopt a detox diet. Read more…
Bowel cancer kills about 90 Australians every week with around 8,500 new cases being diagnosed annually.
Now there’s a new initiative designed to help cut that number … the sooner you discover bowel cancer, the better your chances of beating it.
The Government is phasing in a new home test to help with early detection — it’s aimed at older Australians and if you’re interested call 1800 118 868 to find out if you’re eligible.
Colon hydrotherapy creates a greater awareness of colon health and is an excellent screening device for colo-rectal cancer. It provides early detection of abnornal bowel wastes, mucous and blood which may be pre-cancerous signs, as well as removing toxic wastes which poison the bloodstream and provide a breeding ground for tumours to thrive in.
All cancer patients would benefit greatly from colonic irrigation as they have problems breaking down and assimilating proteins and absorbing vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, creating deficiencies and further lowering their immunity. They may also suffer from constipation and other digestive disorders which puts more load on their livers and other organs of elimination.
It is vital that a cancer patient eliminate toxins and wastes efficiently otherwise they can end up with toxemia or auto-intoxication where they can die from their own internal pollution. Dr. Max Gerson discovered this when treating his cancer patients. He lost a number of patients due to toxemia as when their cancerous tumours were being broken down they were unable to eliminate these toxins effectively which ended up poisoning them.
Colon hydrotherapy tones and strengthens the colon (like taking your colon to the gym!) and increases it’s blood and oxygen supply, and nutrient uptake. This makes it harder for cancer cells to grow in as they can’t survive in an oxygen-rich environment and alkalised body.
Colon hydrotherapy also functions as an important diagnostic tool for doctors wanting information concerning digestive and clinical disorders. It is useful in diagnostic procedures for evaluation of the colon as it offers the location and relief of faecal impactions. It also decreases the risk of post-operative infections and complications by removing bacteria and toxins.
The entire colon could be cleaned and examined for blood every six months for early detection of colon cancer. Benefits from colon hydrotherapy extend to all diagnostic procedures for evaluating the colon including barium enema, sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy.
Colon hydrotherapy would also be extremely useful for patients undergoing drug and alcohol detoxification by enhancing the elimination of toxins from the colon and circulatory sytem so that they don’t end up back at the liver.
They say our eyes are a window to our soul, but our bowel movement offers a pretty good glimpse into what’s happening inside too. Changes in consistency or colour shouldn’t be ignored. Sometimes the reason is fairly simple, sometimes it can be more serious.

1) It really helps to have breakfast. Most experts agree that a daily dose of dietary fibre, from unprocessed cereals, helps keep your bowel motions in good shape.
2) Eat fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are a major source of fibre and sufficient fibre helps prevent straining. Read more…
“Constipation is when you go to the toilet infrequently, perhaps less than three times a week and you have to strain to go. It’s not an easy thing to pass the motion,” says Dr Ellard.
What happens when you’re constipated is, instead of maintaining a moist, slippery stool, the colon absorbs too much water, leaving the stool hard, lumpy and stuck! And the longer it’s stuck, the more painful your predicament. Read more…
It’s perfectly normal to visit the toilet as often as four times a day, or as little as once a week. But when a dodgy curry hits the staff canteen you face the dreaded diarrhoea. “Diarrhoea is really when the motion is watery and explosive, as well as frequent,” says Dr Ellard. Read more…
Nearly every man, woman, and child living in modern society today is constipated. Yes, constipated, whether they know it or not. Yes, constipated even though the bowels may move regularly every day. Yes, even people with chronic diarrhoea suffer from one form of constipation. Read more…

Emotional Movement

Thank you for all that you gave me…. I have no doubt the sessions gave me a lot more in the area of emotional movement than physical… since then I have been more in my body and more in touch with my feelings, I believe this is the key to my healing. Take care and I hope to see you again one day.
