Many of you know me as the founder of JennScents and the former owner of the Clermont Herb Shop. Some of you have heard my story but some of you might be surprised to know that before starting JennScents the top doctors at Shand's sent me home to die.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">I battled Crohn's and Colitis almost 12 years ago, and struggled with foods I could tolerate. My story is similar to Jordan Rubin's, got sick, lost weight, was dying and not many options. I managed over the years to seek out some healthier foods, but none that are the quality and convenience of Beyond Organic. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">It was nice to have dairy again, and fat nutrient foods to helped me feel better physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It simplified my life from running around and researching foods that I could eat and absorb. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">I do my grocery shopping every week with Beyond Organic, and buy in bulk when I can to save even more money. It is a great community of people who share recipes, health tips and motivate me to continue my health journey. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">It also nice to be a part of something bigger, doing God's work and sharing with those that are less fortunate with their "Give a Meal, Get a Meal" program. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">I've been able to share with my friends and family and earn income that helps me not only get my food for free, but build a part-time to full-time income. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">I am blessed to be surrounded by incredible food, great business partners and empowerment for personal and professional growth.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">My name is Karen Walsh and I have Celiac's.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">They say everything happens for a reason. I really believe this. I was really sick for many years and none of the physicians I went to could find what was wrong with me. They kept trying to treat my symptoms and not treat the cause. I ended up in the hospital for 18 days, two operations, ICU and blood transfusions. I was finally diagnosed with Celiac. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">I had to go on a gluten free diet and this took me to the health food store. I started researching everything I needed to know to heal myself. Then to make things worse, my son at 17 was diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis. I found the book Patient Heal Thyself. I was amazed at what Jordan Rubin had been through and how he persevered to heal himself. I set off on my own journey to educate myself on natural healing.<br /><br />I became certified as a Certified Natural Health professional and connected myself with other holistic professionals. I knew I wanted to work in a business that had something to do with natural health. I have a degree in Social Work and have always loved helping people improve their lives. Now I wanted to help them improve their health. <br /><br />I learned of a new company about to launch. It was called Beyond Organic. When I heard it was owned by Jordan Rubin, I said sign me up! I knew his products were going to be of the highest quality and everything he does is to the glory of God. Thats the kind of business I want to represent! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Recently, I had the opportunity to go to the Beyond Organic Ranch and it brought me to tears that one man is trying to change our food supply. Thank you Jordan, your amazing! I love this company and the amazing foods.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">We are Mission Marketers and are on a mission to help people improve their health through diet. I have met wonderful people along the way and with Gods help I am committed to helping this company grow. If you'd like to join me <a href="mailto:klwmermaid@aol.com">email me</a>.

<span style="color: #bd073f; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #bd073f; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: black;">A:</span> Essential oils are liquid extracts derived
plants, roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, stems, peels, bark, berries and resins
that are historically known to offer therapeutic properties such as
antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory. There have been
numerous scientific research studies demonstrating these benefits (reference
pubmed.com, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #bd073f; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">National Center
for Biotechnology Information</span><span style="color: #bd073f; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">).</span><br />
<span style="color: #bd073f; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #bd073f; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In addition, 100% pure essential
oils are known to shift, alter, change, modify, enhance and manage mood,
physical, mental and emotional concerns and behaviors. They not only provide a pleasant
scent (in most cases), they may assist the body to function optimally by
supporting immunity, providing cellular energy, relieving nervous system issues
and promoting an overall sense of well-being. They have a reputation to relax
the body, rejuvenate the mind and release negative emotions.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Hear more about the amazing benefits of aromatherapy and its integration into the health arena in my interview with Dr. Cathy Rosenbaum on Your Holistic Health Internet Radio Show, <a href="http://www.faithandfriendsradio.com/">www.FaithandFriendsRadio.com</a>.

It is an amazing company by Jordan Rubin (Maker's Diet & Garden of Life) that offers food direct from his farm to our doorstep. Their SueroViv Cleanse has really helped enhance my health and changed my life! <br />
<br />
SueroViv is a whole food, living cultured whey beverage with organic juices, honey, and
essential oils. It is a distinctive fusion of ancient tradition and modern style. Utilizing a lost
treasure from antiquity, SueroViv marries the virtues of cultured whey and Reign
Supreme Mountain Spring Water, impeccably flavored with the essential elements
of health that hydrate your body and fuel your passion for life.<br />
<br />
It contains probiotics, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and provides calcium for bone strength, potassium (oxygenation to the heart, kidney health) and B vitamins (for stress). <br />
<em></em><br />
My top 15 reasons why I love SueroViv and what it did for me:<br />
1. Increased energy<br />
2. Improved skin and acne issues<br />
3. Better and more restful sleep<br />
4. Reduced female issues<br />
5. Better heart health (calmed my heart palpitations, better stamina with exercise)<br />
6. Reduced joint and muscle pain and stiffness (especially after work outs)<br />
7. Improved appearance of my hair (and it seemed to grow more)<br />
8. Curbed my appetite and I felt satisfied<br />
9. Better brain focus, concentration and memory recall<br />
10. Reduced sinus issues<br />
11. Reduced stress (able to manage tough situations with ease)<br />
12. Improved lymphatic movement, decreased "stuckness"<br />
13. Weight loss (in those tough areas - gut and thighs)<br />
14. Improved digestion, didn't bother my IBS or Crohn's<br />
15. Improved immune function, felt stronger<br />
<br />

Most people associate curcumin with inflammation, which is only one of its amazing benefits. Inflammation is huge, but more importantly, this formulation with the addition of black pepper enhances its potency and bioavailability by driving it in deeper at a cellular level.<br />
<br />
Curcumin, a rhizome in turmeric and part of the ginger family, has also historically been shown to inhibit joint tissue breakdown, protects liver cells and is a neuro-protective (for the aging brain). Other buzz words associated with curcumin is cardiovascular, psoriasis, eczema, stiffness, back pain, immune and memory. <br />
<br />
My personal testimony...started coming down with body aches and a migraine about 2 weeks ago. I took 4 curcumin (2 capsules one hour apart) and it helped my headache/migraine and body aches go away. I was pretty impressed and have used for various inflammation and muscle soreness situations and have been very pleased. It has been easy on the digestive system and not bothered my IBS, rather has helped it.<br />
<br />
I would say an important one to have in your Herbal Cabinet. <br />

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hal6MundoYw&list=UUuccQjCeV_-iQtNZI4U5i6A&index=21&feature=plcp">Amasai</a> <span style="color: black;">is a traditional food of the Maasai Tribe of East Africa. It is a cultured dairy beverage renowned for nutrient density, digestibility and high probiotic and content. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: black;">Plus, at Beyond Organic all of our dairy comes from cows that eat grasses not grain and are never given hormones, steroids and antibiotics. Each dairy cow is tested for</span> <a href="http://www.betacasein.org/">A2 genetics</a>. <span style="color: black;">If you or a loved one has given up dairy for health reasons, it would be worth your time to read about the benefits of A2 dairy.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: black;">Plain Amasai can be used in place of milk, buttermilk, or heavy cream for most recipes. Rule of thumb is 2 parts water to 1 part Amasai for milk. To use in place of buttermilk or cream it is an exact 1:1 ratio, so a cup of cream equals a cup of Amasai.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: black;">Amasai is great in smoothies, shakes, dressings, cheesecake, pancakes, and more. Jordan even uses it to make</span> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa6pQHNKuHU&list=UUuccQjCeV_-iQtNZI4U5i6A&index=4&feature=plcp">homemade ice cream & pie</a>. <span style="color: black;">Be creative and send me your favorite recipe.

<br />
After graduating from Northwestern University in Chicago, IL in 1998, Dr. Clarence W. Brown III served as a Document Solutions Consultant/Account Manager with the Xerox Corporation in Schaumburg, IL for three years before attending Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO, where he graduated in December 2005. He has operated his own <a href="http://www.metabotech.com/">chiropractic practice</a> since 2006 specializing in N.U.C.C.A., Weight Loss and B.E.S.T. health care.<br />
<br />
Aside from providing chiropractic services, Dr. Brown possesses a genuine interest in the total body care of his patients, including insuring that their dietary deficiencies are addressed. When he discovered that many of his patients were struggling with their weight and were lacking in basic nutritional knowledge, Dr. Brown began sponsoring “Weight-loss Challenges” to both his patient base and the community. The programs that he offers last several months and group instruction on topics such as weight loss, diabetes, heart disease, detoxification, processed foods, healthy eating, supplementation, and exercise are provided to the participants.<br />
<br />
Dr. Brown has been featured on The Today Show and featured in several Chicago-land newspapers, magazines and radio programs. He is the developer of the ground-breaking "8 Steps of Forgiveness." Not only is Dr. Brown concerned about meeting the immediate nutritional needs of his patients, but he is also on a mission to provide extensive education on the emotional root causes of disease so that the legacy of good health may be passed on from generation to generation. His highly acclaimed lectures and presentations on how thoughts and emotions affect health and weight have transformed the lives of countless individuals who have struggled with health and weight issues for years without any relief or progress. He has proven that combined physical, nutrition and emotional protocols are absolutely necessary for permanent weight release and physical healing.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> of the biggest challenges she faces with most patients in their wellness is the nutrition factor. According to Kim, "sending them to the grocery store for healthy food is like sending them into the jungle (the supermarket) to track down their food. The labels are difficult to understand and often contain hidden toxins. We don’t know if the food is pure, irradiated, genetically altered or what went on before it arrived at the grocery store shelf. These hidden dangers can cost us our health, even when we believe we are making healthy choices. Now, there is the opportunity to get extreme quality and purity in our food. Those hard to find items are delivered right to your door. </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Beyond Organic</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> takes the guess work out of healthy eating.</span></span></div>

</div>The Health Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03671693861909907754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581137714846543664.post-76258397331610263662012-05-22T17:26:00.000-07:002012-05-22T17:26:01.038-07:00Loving Your LymphI seem to be talking about the lymphatic system a lot these days. It's my favorite body system and the unsung hero in maintaining optimal health. Anyone that hangs out around me long enough, either by taking a class, stopping by the shop or just having tea, eventually all health conversations eventually lead to lymph.<br />
<br />
For those of you that have taken classes with Dr Kim Balas and Steven Horne you are probably familiar with the concept of <a href="http://treelite.com/proddetail.php?prod=cor-24">ABC+D</a>. Well when you give your lymph some TLC you hit all four principles. Here's how: It <u>activates</u> the emotional healing response, provides nutrient transport to <u>build,</u> assists with detoxification or <u>cleansing</u>, and works as a <u>direct aid</u> for many ailments. I find working with the lymphatic system useful for respiratory issues, male & female reproductive challenges, and anyone struggling with multiple emotional blockages. By the way, if you haven't take this course yet, I highly recommend it if you want to either be a better herbalist or just take better care of yourself.<br />
<br />
So when working with the lymph where do you start? Essential oils and flower essences are a great place to start. When we talk about different organs holding on to specific emotions I find that the lymph system is very much connected. So if you find you've been unable to work through a specific emotional concern look to adding some lymphatic support.<br />
<br />
Herbally, I love Nature's Sunshine <a href="http://reorderherbs.com/?sn=3171-7">Lymphatic Drainage</a> and <a href="http://reorderherbs.com/?sn=4077-6">Lymphomax</a> and find adding these to any of your herbal protocols will enhance their effectiveness. <a href="http://upledger.com/content.asp?id=27">Manual lymphatic drainage</a> is very useful. It is a very light touch, noninvasive therapy, usually performed by a licensed massage therapist. I personally had a breast fibroid disappear after just one session.<br />
<br />
Making good food choices is critical if you want to maintain a healthy lymph system. Avoiding commercial dairy products is huge. Most of today's dairy products, organics included is very mucus forming and congests the lymph. Choose raw dairy from a local farm and take some time to understand the <a href="http://www.betacasein.org/">A2 factor</a>. The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hal6MundoYw">Amasai</a> from <a href="http://www.thehealthchic.com/Site_2/Beyond_Organic.html">Beyond Organic</a> seems to be working well for many people.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I cannot say enough about the benefits of <a href="http://www.christophervasey.ch/EN/Articles/wheycure.html">cultured whey</a> for the lymphatic system. I've been personally consuming the one from Beyond Organic (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5MM0PkupwQ&feature=g-user-u">Suero Viv</a>) consistently for the past six months and it has become my favorite elixir. I still drink my kombucha and coconut water but as far as having an affinity for the lymph system nothing comes close. It's my new "secret" ingredient that seems to be making my herbal protocols all work faster. Also a great detox option, read my post on <a href="http://myherbshoppe.blogspot.com/2012/01/suero-cleanse.html">The Suero Cleanse.</a><br />
<br />
Whether you are a natural health professional or someone looking to take better care of yourself, I can promise you that the more you understand and love your lymph the better you will look and feel.The Health Chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03671693861909907754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581137714846543664.post-31123041652274452692012-05-22T16:09:00.001-07:002012-05-22T16:09:28.148-07:00Tampa's Going Green Guru<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">Along with that, Lisa believes that we should be nourishing our bodies with the best foods we can get. Although she is not a vegetarian, she would forgo eating meat at most meals simply because she does not like the factory farm product. She wants to know where her food comes from and that it was raised in a clean environment. This has lead her to be a loyal customer at many local CSA's and Co-op's. Over the past year, she has found herself talking more and more about the importance of knowing your food source as well as learning more about a nutrient dense diet and educating yourself on the role that diet plays in our health.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Well, let me share a popular herb that I'm sure you've heard of...Fennel.<br /><br />Most people think of digestion when you say Fennel. Or a galactagogue (increasing breast milk). But I bet you didn't know that it also works directly to reduce adipose<br />tissue. It contains ketones which are historically known to break down fat. <br /><br />Because of its ketone action, it is a great remedy to help induce weight loss, primarily due to its diuretic and laxative actions, as well as a decongestant for the liver and gall bladder. Fennel not only assists in weight loss but it also restores rhythmic function to help balance the fluids in our body, assimilation of nutrients and stregthen detoxification processes. You can find this in our Herb Shoppe's as an herbal tea, liquid tincture, herbal formula and in an aromatherapy body spray and body lotion (best application).JennScentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01428064110208852768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581137714846543664.post-22566443101329490132012-02-20T09:36:00.000-08:002012-02-20T09:36:00.161-08:00Nature's Sunshine Health Seminar - April 28, 2012Saturday, April 28, 2012, 9:00a-5:00p<br />Nature's Sunshine Educational Health Seminar with Lawrence Smith, ND <br />@ the Wesley Center in Clermont, FL<br />$35 pp (must be registered by April 20, 2012) <br /><br />An introduction to Natural Health Body System School...Learn the fundamentals of natural health, discuss basic health needs and the keys to being healthier.

Herbal, juice, wheatgrass, lemon juice, colonic, emotional, technological... So when Jordan Rubin, author of <i><a href="http://thehealthchic.mybeyondorganic.com/Web/us/en/products-education-books-overview.dhtml">Living Beyond Organic</a></i> and founder of <a href="http://thehealthchic.mybeyondorganic.com/Web/us/en/business-opportunity-overview.dhtml">Beyond Organic</a> (a new food company) suggested a Suero Fast, I said Game On. <div><br /></div><div>The fast consists of drinking 8oz of <a href="http://thehealthchic.mybeyondorganic.com/Web/us/en/products-beverages-sueroviv.dhtml">Suero Viv</a> (cultured whey/essential oil beverage) every hour for 12 hours. We tried it yesterday as a family- me, my dog, and husband. I could only get down 32oz and had to stop because I was worried if I drank anymore I wouldn't be able to sleep. My husband Bill was able to drink 80 oz- the goal was 96oz. My dog drank 4oz and then demanded dinner.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, even from our partial fast (we ended up eating a couple of sardines and an sprouted grain english muffin w/raw cheddar) we felt great. Cultured whey (different from isolated whey found in protein drinks) has been used for centuries as an all over curative. It was made popular by spas and <a href="http://www.tsitours.com/switzerland/spa-and-wellness-in-switzerland.html">healing resorts</a> in Switzerland. </div><div><br /></div><div>Cultured whey is a great source of potassium, flushes excess sodium (ie, ladies- helps with swelling) and is great for the lymphatic system (cellulite is the first thing that comes to mind here.) Clearing the lymphatic system can be beneficial for things like allergies, breast swelling, menstrual disorders, prostate issues, swollen hands, feet and legs. To learn more about the benefits of cultured whey check out the writings of <a href="http://www.christophervasey.ch/EN/Articles/wheycure.html">Christopher Vasey</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, after my personal experience I decided to create a modified version of the fast and incorporate it into a whole body cleanse. You can do this cleanse with any of your favorite seasonal herbal cleanses or by itself. And remember, while you don't necessarily need to fast from all foods, making better food choices will only enhance the effects. So, watch the sugar, wheat, and alcohol.</div><div><br /></div><div>Suero Cleanse</div><div>Start with 4oz of Suero Viv on Day One. Increase to 16 oz (one bottle) on Day Two and add one additional bottle per day until you reach 4 bottles per day for women/6 bottles for men. Stay on that amount for 2-3 days and then back down by one bottle per day. After that 1/2-2 bottles per day maintenance as needed. </div><div><br /></div><div>A few things to expect might be increased bowel activity and urination. This has been the most common comment so far. Overall feeling of not being puffy, stagnant with increased energy, stamina and overall sense of well-being. Diminished food cravings, feeling of satiety. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.</div><div><br /></div><div>Keep in mind the standard disclaimer, check with your doctor first, info provided only for educational and entertainment purposes. We do not prescribe, diagnose or make any claims. </div><div><br /></div><div>You can pick up Suero Viv at many Herb Shoppes, Chiropractic Offices, Natural Health Practitioner offices and other specialty groups.

Jennifer has studied deep emotional and soul level healing with aromatherapy under the mentorship of Dr. Bruce Berkowsky, a nationally renowned homeopath and educator. He developed the Natural Health Science System, Vital Chi Skin Brushing System, Spiritual PhytoEssecing as well as publishing many books, journals, formulating herbal remedies and aromatherapy blends. <br /><br />Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) is a system intended to encourage deep, soul-level healing using essential oils. It is based upon a synthesis of certain aspects of aromatherapy, physiology, classical homeopathy, anthroposophical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine and folklore, depth psychology, color therapy, gemstone healing, numerology and other modalities.<br /><br />The goal in Spiritual PhytoEssencing is to identify the pattern of deep psycho-spiritual themes which have a disharmonizing impact on the soul level. Subsequently, a combination of essential oils which correlates with these themes is formulated to act as a mirror-image of this "central disturbance," and so, serves as a customized response to the bioenergetic fingerprint of a deeply-ingrained pattern of imbalance. Harmonizing the bioenergy currents of the psycho-spiritual plane facilitates an altered state characterized by heightened awareness, receptivity, flexibility, objectivity and the illumination of life-choices, where true healing can proceed.<br /><br />To read more about this, visit http://www.essentialoilsandsoul.com/. Jennifer will be offering classes in 2012 that implement SPE ino the art and science of aromatherapy.

Beat the cold and flu season by starting to support and build your immune system now. Order your Elderberry D3fense (with added D3)today! <br /><br />More and more research shows that in addition to supporting bone health, vitamin D is critical to the immune system. It’s one of the reasons why the cloudy winter months —when people receive little sun exposure — are the hardest on the immune system. Elderberry D3fense combines the benefits of elderberry fruit and vitamin D3 with other<br />herbs that help the immune system to provide you year-round immune system support.<br /><br />One of my favorite blends! Elderberry D3fense is a unique blend specifically formulated to support the immune system. It contains a healthy dose of vitamin D3, which mounting research indicates strengthens the immune system, along with key ingredients elderberry fruit extract and Echinacea purpurea. Elderberry D3fense also contains willow bark extract, which contains salicin; olive leaf extract, which features oleuropein, the substance in olive wood that helps protect the tree; and royal jelly, a nutrient-dense substance secreted by the honey bee and containing fats, carbohydrates,amino acids and vitamins.JennScentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01428064110208852768noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581137714846543664.post-68397478285766244212011-08-11T12:02:00.000-07:002011-08-11T12:09:47.604-07:00Beyond Organic Webinar Series with Jordan Rubin<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Beyond Organic has just announced that Jordan Rubin will conduct a 12 week educational webinar series to support pre-launch efforts for his new company.
