Silver Shield with Aqua Sol
 
What Is Silver Sol Technology?

According to Dr. Gordon Pedersen, Silver Sol is simply superfine silver particles dispersed in deionized water. The term “Sol” is a chemical designation of a pure mineral, such as metallic silver, permanently suspended in water where the mineral’s charge is transferred to the entire body of water. Silver Sol technology includes advanced scientific research and new product development utilizing its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties.

What Does Silver Sol Do?
 
Silver Sol has the ability to destroy 143 types of bacteria, both forms of viruses, mold, yeast, and a limited number of parasites. It can also purify water (US Patent Office, Nov. 2006). Silver Sol can be used to treat over three hundred conditions; these are listed in the book A Fighting Chance by Dr. Gordon Pedersen.



Dr. Pedersen notes that Silver Sol functions as a non-toxic disinfectant for internal or external use as it comes in three forms: liquid, topical gel, and aerosolized. From toenail fungus to rashes, Silver Sol aids the immune system in reducing the bacteria, viruses, and mold it encounters.

40 + Years of Quality & Goodness

Most people wouldn't even think of going out in public before they took their daily shower.  Besides, it just feels good when our skin and hair is clean.  The question is, if it feels so good when we are clean on the outside, how much better does it feel when we are clean on the inside?  Does it make a difference?


When you cleanse you body, you can help undo years of damage due to toxic build up.  Let's face it, we put lots of toxic food in our bodies, we breathe toxic air, we drink toxic water laced with chlorine and fluoride, and we wonder why we have low energy, allergies, and lots of other health problems.  Toxicity is really a problem in todays world.

In the U.S., cleansing became a popular practice during the 1920s and 1930s, but it actually dates back to ancient Greece. Today, it is a practice done by a large number of people who accept that proper digestion is crucial for maintaining overall health and wellness.

When our digestion is working properly, all of the food we eat is broken down and used by our bodies, or flushed out as a waste product.  On the flip side, when our digestive systems are sluggish and aren't working properly, food particles often get left behind.  It is believed that this food that gets left in the digestive system eventually creates a buildup that can produce toxins, which can then contribute to symptoms of fatigue and eventually be linked to many other illnesses. Sluggish digestion and sludge in the bowels  may also reduce our bodies efficiency in eliminating toxins and waste.

CleanStart is a comprehensive approach to cleansing the whole body. It contains laxative herbs to facilitate the cleansing of the intestinal tract. Soothing herbs blended into the formula help support gentle cleansing. Herbs that help rekindle the ability of the digestive system to properly handle digestion, absorption and waste elimination are also part of this product. Because the digestive system is not alone in the waste-elimination process, herbs for detoxifying the accessory organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas) and the urinary system are incorporated into this formula. Blood purification is also an important aspect of body cleansing; hence, reputable blood-purifying herbs are also components of the CleanStart program.

 


Laxative Herbs

The laxative herbs in this formula help remove toxic debris that build up in the colon. Psyllium and fenugreek seeds are high in fiber and have a bulk laxative action, which helps support optimal gastrointestinal transit. Cascara sagrada, yellow dock, buckthorn and Turkey rhubarb are high in anthraquinones. These substances act on the large intestines, stimulating colon peristalsis to promote elimination.

Marshmallow, licorice, aloe and ginger soothe the digestive system while cleansing. Marshmallow root contains mucilaginous polysaccharides that help protect and soothe tissues. Licorice and ginger are reported to have antispasmodic and gastroprotective effects.

Sarsaparilla, red clover, echinacea, burdock, Oregon grape, couch grass, milk thistle and dandelion are purifying herbs in this pack. They are recommended for periodic “spring cleaning” of the body. Their mild diuretic effects are beneficial in promoting the elimination of toxins via the urinary system. In addition, sarsaparilla, through its sweat-promoting properties, enhances toxin elimination from the lymph and circulatory systems.

Bentonite and sodium copper chlorophyllin are detoxifying ingredients. Bentonite adsorbs toxins, facilitating their removal from the bowel. Sodium copper chlorophyllin is a green pigment found in almost all plants. It has been used to aid in the removal of various toxins via the liver and remains a key compound for improving the function of essential detoxification pathways.

Pepsin, capsicum, potassium citrate and lactobacillus help restore improved function of the digestive system. Anytime a deficiency of proteolytic enzymes exists, bits of undigested protein may remain in the body, causing difficulties. Pepsin supports efficient protein digestion and protects the intestines from foreign invaders. Capsicum is used to improve digestion and relieve occasional gastrointestinal problems. Potassium citrate plays a role in gastric secretion and enzyme reactions, helping to support digestion. Lactobacillus spores were thoughtfully blended into this cleanse to help re-establish the balance of these beneficial organisms. CleanStart is a thorough, yet gentle cleanse that is perfect for just about anyone. The ingredients in CleanStart are incorporated into a capsule packet and a powder drink mix packet (available in Apple-Cinnamon and Wild Berry flavors) that make cleansing easy and convenient.

People have been using mushrooms of various types for health benefits for thousands of years.  It is interesting to note that mushrooms are able to absorb the nutrients from whatever environment they grow in.  Science has now found that mushrooms are true superfoods. Check out this graphic that shows some of their benefits.

Some Nature's Sunshine Supplements that contain these superfoods are (be sure to scroll down the page on the following links for in depth information on these formulas): Immune Stimulator, Collustrum with Immune Factors,  Cordyceps and Immune System Pack.

So, why are there so many overweight Americans?  It is an epidemic that has grown to unbelievable proportions in this country!  Let's take a  look at what is happening on the chart below.  We can definitely see a huge surge in obesity, but why?  Is it the food that is available to us?  What about the fact that they are marketing all sorts of chemical laden and GMO foods to our children, the people who are the future of this once great county.  It's sad what has happened to us as a people all in the name of big business and big money.
 


Why Americans are Fat
 
Are you overweight?  If so, you aren’t alone.  Almost two-thirds (about 66%) of U.S. adults age 20 or older are overweight.  Nearly one-third (about 31%) of American adults are obese.

Okay folks, March is intestinal month, so I get to talk about one of my favorite subjects, right?  Not really, but it is something that really does need to be taken into consideration when talking about how things get imbalanced in our bodies.  So lets discuss what it is that our intestinal systems actually do, and why it is so important for our elimination systems to work properly.

Your intestines are part of your digestive system that is located between the stomach and the anus.  They are where your food and drink is taken into the rest of your body.  Nutrients and fluids are sent to the rest of your body from the intestines, and waste is sent out through the kidneys and the colon.  Essentially, your intestines, especially your large intestine helps to take out the garbage (waste and toxins.)  The small intestine (small bowel) is about 20 feet long and about 1 inch in diameter; the large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter.

Below are a couple of very useful charts to help explain things:
