Health is not just a matter of curing disease, it is a process of removing toxins before they cause disease.

Do you know that what comes out of your colon, and how it comes out, is probably more important than what goes in? Colon cleansing and intestinal health is crucial to our wellness and basic health. (Check out these excellent articles on colon cleansing and intestinal toxemia, or sign up for the Healthy Lifestyle Newsletter at www.shesacancersurvivor.com.)

Avena Originals promotes colon health through "electrically available" nutrition. What does that mean? If you think back to science class 101, our bodies are made up of vibrating cells. We are electric! So it makes sense that our bodies will respond better to natural nutrition that is made available to us on that vibrational level.

We began using Avena's Herb Cocktail in our morning smoothies along with Hemp Protein and other fresh ingredients for natural, regular colon cleansing on a daily basis, and the difference has been amazing. Little did I know how important proper colon elimination is until I started using Herb Cocktail and recognized the changes in my body, energy and overall sense of wellbeing. I highly recommend Avena's Herb Cocktail if you're looking for help with colon cleansing.

I've had many requests from readers for our
morning smoothie recipe, so here it is.

"The 4 Keys to a Long Life" was gifted to me at a time when I knew something in my life had to change, but I wasn't sure exactly what to do differently. All I knew was that I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My friend had been extolling the virtues of this book and how it helped her finally turn her health around. Her story awed and inspired me; after seven bouts with surgeries and radiation, she held up her hand to the doctors and said, "Obviously, what you're doing to treat this cancer is not working." She then set out to find out what would offer her true healing.

"The 4 Keys" is an essential step in learning that every single one of us, no matter our current state of health, is capable of healing. It's a myth that diseases are incurable. As I've heard so often, "there are no incurable diseases; only incurable people." I couldn't agree more.

Greens powdered drinks or capsules are all the rage for sports enthusiasts wanting a natural, normal boost in energy. Greens powders are simply vegetables that have been reduced to powder and are taken as a supplement to the regular diet, so they'll have the same effect as eating vegetables out of the garden - a lot of them.

Did you know that powdered green drinks can also be helpful in natural balance of hormones? I had no idea until I began experiencing horrific mood swings due to hormone imbalance. I was given a jar of Greens Plus with Multi as a gift, and within just days my moods had levelled out. I attended a seminar on naturally balancing hormones by Jackie Harvey shortly thereafter, in which she confirmed the benefits of increased cruciferous vegetables in the diet being of benefit to hormone balance. The results in my life have been truly amazing.
