Iron Overload

The incidence of iron accummulating in the body and causing damage to the major organs is becoming more common. There are two types of iron overload - haemosidererosis and haemochromatosis.

Haemosidererosis is described as a general increase in tissue iron without tissue destruction.

Haemochromatosis however is more serious and is often referred to as rusting. In this condition iron accummulates mainly in the liver, spleen and pancreas. But, iron deposits have also been found in the heart, joints, lymph nodes, skin and even the brain.

Iron and copper are closely related. Iron cannot be used by the body without adequate copper reserves and a person with a copper deficiency will retain iron because the body will stop eliminating it. If this person also ingests large amounts of Vitamin C, the iron overload will multiply further as Vitamin C enhances iron absorption, while antagonising copper absorption.

Recommended treatment for the condition are colloidal plant derived minerals such as NEWAYS
Feroxin and multivitamins such as NEWAYS Orachel as opposed to singular ingestions of large amounts of either minerals and vitamins.

Also recommended are S.A.F.E's Green Barley Plus capsules and Citramin.

Prices are Feroxin ............... ; Orachel , Green Barley Plus (200 caps) $32, Citramin

High Blood Pressure

A number of drugs are usually used to treat Hypertertension (high blood pressure). It is not unusual for people to take these drugs on a life long basis, if nothing is done to address the underlying cause of the problem which is usually mental/emotional or physical stress.

The drugs prescribed are either diuretics which work by taking water out of the system to reduce the blood pressure or reduce the pressure by dilating the blood vessels.

When the system is under heavy stress it adapts itself to the pressure placed on it by pumping more blood round the body, more blood for the brain, more blood for the muscles and the heart. to try and deal with the stress creating hypertension.

If the situation which is creating the tension is not addressed the situation can become chronic.

While the problem is being addressed the body should be supported both physically and emotionally.

Toxic Shock

Even though I spent much of my life as a journalist working in the financial, international trade and general fields I am ashamed to say that until recently I hadn't paid a great deal off attention to the havoc that chemicals and toxins in personal care and household items could wreak on human health. For sometime I co-ordinated an enviromental action group and through that became involved with a Toxin Action Group which fought to have certain farm chemicals banned. Through these two groups I saw at first hand the effects of some of these chemicals. But my biggest toxic shock from encountering chemical abuse began after I joined the multi-levelling marketing company NEWAYS as a distributor. It was then that the remaining wool was pulled from my eyes. I had, and still have, great difficulty in accepting that manufacturers are allowed to put into their products substances which they know will cause their customers to suffer serious physical harm.
