SEVEN ESSENTIAL SUPPLEMENTS FROM
DR BERNARD WILLIS |
| |
Each month we'll be publishing an excerpt from Dr Bernard Willis' article on the seven supplements that cover all the basics regardless of your gender, age or current health status. Taking them can be the first step in your journey toward optimal health, this month's supplement is:
5. CURCUMIN
This compound found in the curry spice turmeric is best known for its anti-inflammatory properties but that is just the start of its healing qualities. Curcumin may also have:
- Anti-cancer
- Anti-arthritic
- Antiviral
- Antifungal and
- Immune-boosting effects.
ScienceWatch recently highlighted 19 papers on the health benefits of curcumin — many of them focusing on its anticancer activity.
I now consider it one of the most important supplements to take on a daily basis. The recommended daily dose is 1,000 mg.

| GREAT NEW PRODUCT FOR SCAR TREATMENT - PRAXOULI |
| |
In the midst of this beautiful kiwi summer that draws everyone to the beach, some people are feeling anxious about wearing skin-baring outfits, as they worry about their self-image due to unfortunate scars.
Scars may vary greatly between individuals depending on their personal features, the nature of the trauma/scar and the conditions of wound healing.
As specialists in the provision of natural health products and leaders in the field of customized medicines, we are excited to introduce a new product, Praxouli Skin Gel, which combines nature and the very latest pharmaceutical research. Now available online or in store for the treatment of a variety of scars and dermatological conditions!
Praxouli Skin Gel is a unique topical anhydrous silicone base that contains Pracaxi oil derived from the seed of the Pracaxi tree found in the Amazonian Rainforest. This silicone rich gel has a luxurious feel on the skin, and by only using a small amount twice daily, a visible reduction in scarring may be seen in as little as 2 weeks.
Please call us on 0800 HORMONE or email info@pharmaceutical.co.nz to speak to a Pharmacist for more information, or you can buy Praxouli Skin Gel online here. |

| RAW BROWNIES |
| |
The perfect romantic dessert for two! Enjoy these simple and delicious sugar, dairy and gluten free brownies!!
- 2 cups of medjool dates (they're the squishier, stickier, tastier kind of dates)
- 1 cup of peacans
- 2-3 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (optional, can be replaced with any other liquid sweetener)
Makes 10 brownies
Blend the peacans in a food processor until they form a crumbly mixture, then add the dates and blend again before adding the cacao and maple syrup.
Place the mixture in a baking tray and either refrigerate for 3-4 hours or freeze for one to allow them to set. Then keep them in the fridge for freshness.

| 10 HEART FACTS |
| |
1. Every day, your heart creates enough energy to drive a truck for 32 km.
2. Your heart can keep beating even if it is separated from the body because it has its own electrical impulse.
3. 75 trillion cells receive blood from the heart. Only the corneas don't.
4. Having an orgasm at least 3 times a week cuts in half the likelihood of coronary heart disease.
5. Your heart will pump nearly 1.5 million barrels of blood during your lifetime, enough to fill 200 train tank cars.
6. Instead of chest pains, symptoms of heart attacks in women can be nausea, indigestion, and shoulder aches.
7. Your heart beats over 100,000 times per day.
8. Owning a cat can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by more than a third, researchers found.
9. Your heartbeat changes and mimics the music you listen to.
10. Your left lung is smaller than your right lung to make room for your heart. |
