She is so busy handling all of her affairs that she ran out of time, so I cornered her and gave her a quick interview asking her the questions I think all of you want to know. Who is this Man? His name is Arthur, he is Greek, 37, never been married, no kids, and we enjoy the same activities such as travel, cooking, reading. My degree in hotel and restaurant management this will come in handy because he owns a small hotel and restaurant in a tourist town in the middle of Greece. His house has two stories, we will live on the top floor, he is remodeling the bottom floor for me offer massages. Why are you marring him? I really love how well we communicate. I didn't know two people could talk like we talk. We get things resolved and feel great after a discussion. He treats me like a queen, he honors me. Why so quick? It doesn't feel quick. This relationship feels like it's meant to be. I feel like I've known him before. It just feels right. I'm not afraid. I feel at peace and calm inside. I haven't felt like this before. What can I say, I know this is really different, I know it's right. I was scared at first, but when I decided I felt at peace. Have you met his family? Yes, both of his parents are wonderful, they gave us their blessings. I think the whole town is somehow related to him. I love the sense of family and community. I'm excited to be a part of this community and learn all about this new culture. I'm really going to miss you guys, everyone has been wonderful, and supportive. I'm following my heart, it's all good. From Eve: Hi Everyone,  As you may have already heard, our sweet Mara is moving to Greece with plans to get married. Yes, we know it's quite a shock! But if you could only see the look on her face, how happy and grounded she seems in the midst of moving to another country. Well it's just hard to think she is doing the wrong thing. So I hope you will join me in wishing for her with all our hearts a wonderful and happy life filled with Love, Joy, incredible communication and finally beautiful, sweet children. We love you Mara. Who, you ask is going to replace the irreplaceable? Well, Me! I have the monumental task of filling Mara's shoes. As most of you know, I came on board this last July. It has been a great 6 months. I've been learning and doing every aspect of Dawn's business, including colon therapy, partnering with her so she can make the business even better. I have to tell you how much I admire her. I have never met anyone with such a passion to learn, with such caring and devotion to her clients. She is my hero. As sisters, we have had similar paths. Although Dawn's path has mostly revolved around detoxifying and beauty, mine is centered more on loving people up and searching for ways to heal their bodies, minds and spirits. I owned a spa where we had the most incredible body treatments; I also did a variety of loving facials as well as massage. I really love being in service to our clients. I have also studied Homeopathy, Naturopathy and whole food Nutrition and continue to study and take classes with Dawn about how to improve our body's systems. Seeing people getting healthier where I work is the most rewarding experience I have been honored to see. I am proud to say that so many of you have made such positive strides towards better health in a short amount of time. I'm enjoying being more of an integral part of your healing process. Thank you for your confidence. Classes The Fountain of Health is doing a group Cleanse. I know doing a cleanse can be a little intimidating, that is why I wanted all of us to do a group cleanse. This way the energy of the group will make it more fun. Join our staff and I and start the beginning of the year off healthier. First must purchase the cleanse by Jan. 9th so we can have the whole program here for you. Cost $250 (you can call and give us your credit card) Next We're meeting on January 12, at 7:00 at The Fountain Of Health, 2820 T Street, to give you the whole cleanse program, go over the cleanse, give you recipes, exchange email addresses, then support each other in starting the cleanse the next day. How the cleanse keeps you healthy: 1. Encourages healthy kidney function. 2. Supports healthy blood and lymphatic system function. 3. Supports healthy gastrointestinal elimination. 4. Promotes healthy liver detoxification functions. Think for a moment of all the foods and drinks you have consumed over your lifetime. The amount could literally add up to tens of thousand of pounds. Answering the following questions may give you some insight as to your current toxic load. * Do you or have you eaten processed foods? * Do you eat non-organic fruits and vegetables? * Do you eat meat and poultry that is not free-range? * Do you consume genetically-altered food? * Do you are have you ever used artificial sweeteners? * Do you drink soda? * Do the foods you eat have preservatives, additives, dyes, or sweeteners added? * Do you eat fast foods and/or eat out regularly? * Do you char broil or grill foods? * Do you drink coffee regularly? * Do you drink alcohol? * Do you drink tap water? If the majority of your answers are yes, then it is likely that your diet contributes significantly to your toxic load. In addition to your diet, you are also exposed to other irritants such as cigarette smoke, pollution, hair dyes, dry cleaning fluids, cosmetics, exhaust fumes, soaps, perfumes, cleansers, and drugs. This everyday exposure of these substances may have you feeling less than your best, experiencing: * Weight gain Food cravings * Fatigue or difficulty sleeping Reduced mental clarity * Poor digestion Low libido The Cleanse, enlists the detoxifying properties of 20 different whole foods and botanicals in this completely vegetarian nutritional supplement. The phytonutrients from these multiple ingredients help the body eliminate toxins that originate in the environment, as well as metabolic toxins that are given off internally. The vitamin complexes, minerals, and phytonutrients in the Cleanse support the body's internal waste-removal systems to encourage healthy kidney function, help purify the blood, support lymphatic system function, promote efficient gastrointestinal elimination, and maintain healthy liver detoxification function. The Cleanse mixes with water and fruit or vegetables to make a nutritious supplement shake - completely portable for today's busy schedules. It offers a balance of essential macro- and micronutrients in a highly bio-available form. The natural whole food ingredients used to formulate the Cleanse support healthy cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous system function, and deliver powerful antioxidant protection to promote cellular health. Whether taken alone or before meals, the Cleanse shake provides essential vitamins and minerals to the body during purification. In addition, the Cleanse can be used outside of the purification program to replace vital nutrients often lost during the refining process of many of the foods we buy. Feature Article We Crave Sugar, But Is It Really Our Fault? We are as a nation getting fatter. Just take a look at any beach or the mall. Two thirds of adults are overweight. The rates for African Americans and Latinos are even higher. A Time/ABC news pole showed that fifty-eight percent of Americans would like to loose weight, nearly twice the percentage that felt that way in 1951. It wouldn't be such a big deal being heavy if it were simply just a matter of looking good. But having extra weight increases the total medical tab for illnesses to $117 billion a year. Risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, infertility, gall-bladder disease, Osteoarthritis, and many forms of cancer are some of the diseases caused by carrying around excess weight. The American Medical Association reported in March of 2004, that poor diet and physical inactivity could soon overtake tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in the United States So why is this happening? The obvious, almost trivial answer, is that we eat too much high calorie food and don't burn it off. People spend billions of dollars to try to find a way to get rid of the poundage. We give it to health clubs, liposuction, gastric bypass operations and drugs to melt it away. It would be nice to blame it on someone or something. The fact is, everything that is unhealthy to eat is just too convenient to purchase. Sugar is everywhere. Fat calories and sugar tastes good. In the old days, if you wanted a cookie you would have to bake it yourself. It is true the more convenience we have the fatter we seem to get. What about Television, Radio and Magazine commercials beguiling us every day and night with advertisements of fatty foods? How are we expected to ward off this evil doing? Well they say the ultimate reason for obesity may be rooted deep within our genes. We got our sweet tooth from our ancestors, who probably ate too much. Just like their cousin, the apes did, foraging for fruits, nuts, and other vegetation. When fruit was in season, it was a source of energy. We ate the sweet fruit in abundance when it was available, thus developing a taste for sweetness that was passed down. Because of this fruit gorging, our ancestors would put on weight, thus enabling the species to continue during hard times of famine. It is in our genes to want something sweet to continue on with our species. Some believe that is why our brain grew, because of the glucose now in our diet, which is what the brain lives off of twenty-four hours a day. Then we started craving meat, which gave us more nutrients to fully develop our brain. Of course the meat back then was not grain fed to increase the fat in the meat. We really had to work for our food. Until the last one hundred years, cars and other machinery have dramatically reduced the need for physical labor. Exercise has vanished from our everyday lives. The technology of food production has become much more sophisticated. I know you must have heard of how much sugar each of us consumes each year, one hundred fifty pounds per capita. And thanks to mass production, all that sweet and fat stuff is relatively cheap, and absurdly convenient. Unless you make a determined effort, you'll probably choose the path of least resistance. Evolving during the time of scarcity, humans have developed an instinctive desire for basic tastes of sweets, fat and salt. There is still that part in us that is telling us, from our ancestors, food is hard to come by, eat it now so your species and your children can continue to survive. The food companies have made a killing on this basic instinct. The obesity epidemic is not a threat but a business opportunity. There is hope. We are smoking less today than ever before because of publicity about the health risks of smoking. Also, more lives then ever have been saved due to the publication of seat belt safety. As long as we realize we are fighting evolution, it is going to be hard to say no to sweets, fat and salt. But we can do it! With more, "No thank you's," and one walk around the block at a time.

I and my family take immuplex everyday during the winter. Come in and I can muscle test you to see what product is best for you. Products from Standard Process to help with your immune system during the cold and flu season: Congaplex - contains thymus Cytosol™ extract and helps support the healthy function of the upper respiratory tract. The thymus gland is considered the master gland that regulates the immune system. Cytosol™ extracts from the thymus gland contain the building blocks of the powerful thymic hormone which supports and stimulates the immune system. Congaplex contains the nutrients and tissue extracts that contribute to the healthy response of the immune system. Immuplex - combines vitamins A, B12, C, and E, and folic acid, and minerals such as zinc, copper, chromium, iron, and selenium. Immuplex contains bovine thymus, liver, and spleen tissue extracts - nutrients and glandulars well known for their important roles in immune system health and function. Calcium Lactate - is essential for various body functions beyond bone mineralization, including muscle contraction, nerve conduction, maintenance and function of cell membranes and membrane permeability, blood coagulation, and the proper functioning of many enzyme systems. The calcium lactate that is used in all Standard Process products is made by fermentation on plant sugar. Calcium Lactate contains the proper balance of calcium and magnesium (5:1 ratio). Echinacea - primarily supports the immune system, non-specific cellular immunity, by helping various types of white blood cells during phagocytosis. Echinacea also increases the number and activity of the neutrophils, an important part of the body's immune system that maintains white blood cells. Echinacea-C combines this useful herb with vitamin C complexes from a variety of sources. Tuna Omega-3 Oil - The modern American diet is extremely low in life-sustaining omega-3 essential fatty acids. These necessary nutrients promote and support healthy cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system health, in addition to maintaining healthy eyes. Tuna Omega-3 Oil provides a rich source of long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids, supplying DHA and EPA in a naturally-occurring 5:1 ratio. Each batch of Tuna Omega-3 Oil is consistently tested for PCBs, mercury, peroxides, and anisidine levels to assure it meets the highest quality specifications. Marketplace Testimonials Last week I was sick and could not eat all day, then I remembered that maybe I was not eliminating my entire stool. I had a tremendous headache also. I scheduled a colonic late that afternoon, returned home and immediately felt 100% better, and had a great nights sleep that night. Over the last 15 years I have always relied on colonics to maintain optimum health. Thank you Fountain of Health! Natalie Valpredo Oh my gosh! I'm so excited! About my life and how I feel right now! finally a break though--These colonics......let me tell you......they've literally opened me up to having energy and faith in myself to take better care of health and body. I'm eating better, I value myself more and I'm on a higher level of consciousness. The colonics became symbolic to the whole cleansing of body, mind and spirit. Its no wonder its called "holistic" Thank you for your services, and for helping me with my crap. Rose Steward I started having colonics last week; I bought a series of 5 and found relief after the 3rd colonic. I started colonics after a year of stomach upset, i.e. diarrhea, which would occur about 3 times a week. I attribute that to stress. Since starting colonics however, I have had no stomach upset at all. The bloat I had around my stomach has also gone now. Thank you very much for all you do. Laura MacVean Recipes For Your Health As we eat this soup it will be like we're there with you Subscriber. Greek Lentil Soup From: Hayes Theiling Dorton And now, the recipe, Greek Lentil Soup, a modification of a recipe in the Goldbecks' natural foods cookbook: * 2 medium-to-large onions * 1 bay leaf * 2 stalks celery, chopped * 2 tsp. salt * 2 lg. or 3 med. carrots, chopped * 4 c. swiss chard or other green * 2 c. dried lentils * 1 c. sm. whole-wheat shells * 8 c. water * 2-3 Tbs. lemon juice * 1 Tbs. tomato paste in 1 c. water * Tabasco sauce Heat 1/4 - 1/2 c. of water in a 5-qt. pot and sauté the onion about 3 min. until limp. Add celery, carrots, liquid, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat about 45 minutes until lentils are tender. Add salt, greens (I've made this with both swiss chard and collard greens and much prefer it with the collards), and shells, cover, and cook 15 min. or until shells are tender. If soup appears to be too dry at this time, add more liquid. (This should be a thick, stew-like soup, but, if heat is too high, there may be too much evaporation.) When fully cooked, stir in lemon juice to taste. Chili paste or hot sauce may also be added to the pot at this time, or may be added to each person's bowl, to taste, at the table. I prefer to serve it the second way, so that I can make my own as hot as I like with no compunction! Enjoy! Sign me up for this e-zine! © Copyright 2002-2003 Fountain Of Health.
