I just love publishing the newsletters for you. I feel a kindred connection that connects all of us together. I hope you have enjoyed them. P. S. And thank you for all of your encouragement and support. We have a new colon hygienist at The Fountain of Health. Her name is Angela. She was born in Germany and raised in Alaska. She met her husband in Alaska who is a native to Sacramento, where they now reside. She has been a colon hygienist for the past five years. She believes that for every symptom and illness there is a cause. She has dedicated her life to holistic health care for clients. She believes in education to help clients develop and adapt appropriate lifestyle changes. She believes that these lifestyle changes will prevent external and internal stressors from effecting their whole body health. As my daughter would say, "She mixes with us like Mash potatoes and gravy ". She is a wonderful addition to our family. Classes A client was told by her cardiologist to lose weight. She started the South Beach Diet, and has lost 28 lbs in, I believe, 2 months. Then I was watching "The Regis and Kelly Show"in which Bette Midler came on looking great. Kelly Ripa asked Bette Midler how she lost her weight and she replied, "South Beach Diet". So I bought the book and I am just about done reading it. I like what he is saying. I am considering going on the diet. But I want support, a friend, a buddy. If anyone wants to join me, email me and we will discuss our plan of attack. healthqueen@fountainofhealth.com Feature Article Acid Reflux, Heartburn, GERD Lifestyle Change Can Help Tye and I went to a health seminar. I was surprised to see Acid Reflux and Esophageal cancer on the rise. Most people call Acid Reflux, heartburn. Doctors refer to Acid Reflux as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. Whatever Acid Reflux is names, it always feels the same: a burning sensation in your chest or throat. In some people, the sphincter muscle that is supposed to keep acid in the stomach isn't tight enough, so the acid flows up into the esophagus. The lining of the esophagus, unlike the stomach, can't withstand strong acids. "The esophagus does fine with reflux over the short term" says Susan Taylor Mayne, a cancer researcher at Yale University. "But if it's a chronic problem, you begin to see changes in the lining of the esophagus." That condition is called Barrett's esophagus which occurs in 10 to 15 percent of people who have heartburn at least once a week. People with Barrett's esophagus are 30 to 40 times more likely to get esophageal cancer than people with out. The good news is that most people can avoid heartburn by changing what and when they eat. I believe we eat to quickly, and not in a relaxed state of mind. When we are stressed, our stomach acids are weaker, thus not digesting the food, so the food stays in the stomach too long, causing Acid Reflux. Symptoms: A burning sensation in the chest or throat and acid regurgitation. Some people have pain in the chest, hoarseness in the morning, difficulty swallowing, a dry cough, bad breath, or feeling that food is stuck in their throat or that their throat is tight. What to do: If you have symptoms at least once a week, see your doctor. But often, lifestyle change can help: 1 If you smoke, stop. 2 Don't drink alcohol, it can harm the stomach lining 3 Eat smaller meals, so food doesn't stay in the stomach for a long time 4 Don't drink soda or water with meals, it dilutes acids thus slowing down the digestion process 5 Cold drinks with meals inhibit the digestion process 6 Drink one cup of warm tea or soup before each meal, this aids in the digestion process 7 Wear loose-fitting clothes. 8 Avoid lying down until at least three hours after meal 9 Don't eat again until food has fully digested which is at least 3-4 hours after each meal. 10 Eat in a relaxed environment, enjoying nice music and conversation 11 Eat sitting down, take three deep breaths before beginning to eat. 12 Take small bites and chew your food slowly. The digestion process begins in the mouth. 13 Get yourself a special napkin to remind yourself that when you eat, you relax and enjoy your meal. About The Queen Teacher-Speaker-Lifestyle Coach.

To Structure or Not To Structure, that is the question I have so many things I want to tell you. It seems to me like producing the newsletter once a month is not enough. Let's talk about structured water. One of the reasons we get so dehydrated is because our water is not structured, thus allowing the water to penetrate cell membranes easier. Nature has been structuring water since the beginning of time. Water naturally is constantly moving, it's rippling along a river bed, travelling underground, or cascading down a mountain side. This is water's natural environment; this is what makes water structured. If you were to look under a microscope at regular tap water or bottled water, which has been purified, it would look like broken glass, or cotton. Structured water, under a microscope, looks like a snowflake. These snowflakes attach together enabling the cells of the body to absorb the water more efficiently and quickly. When water is moving over rocks, a electronic negative / positive composition forms making the water molecule stronger and becoming crystal chains or "snowflakes" which is hydration at its' maximum. When you drink structured water, you will be absorbing your vitamins and minerals better because the structured water enables these nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently. Another plus to drinking structured water is the process of rapid cellular hydration. In this process, fluid is exchanged quickly, flushing toxins out of the body. You cannot consume too much concentrate in a day. The only effect of this consumption may be frequent urination. We sell 16oz concentrate of structured water. This will make 16 gallons. That comes to $1.56 a gallon. When you add the structured water concentrate to regular water it turns regular water into structured water. The structured water concentrate differs from the ready-to-drink structured water by the intensity of the frequencies acquired.
