In this Spring issue:

Some spring flowers for you caught in the Rhododendron Gardens on Shazar's visit to the Dandenongs.

Oh.. what a beautiful place!

Shazar's Blog  
for daily and not so daily titbits and news and musings.

Hello

Well the big buzz of the time is the movie "The Secret" - if you haven't seen it yet, then we highly recommend it.

It is a great and timely reminder of the Law of Attraction - that which we focus on is what we get.
Funny that when you look around you. We see it demonstrated in our lives daily.  One snippet we loved from it - "Where you are today is not who you truly are .. it is who you have been - it is what you have been up till now. Who you are tomorrow will depend totally on how you think, and feel and create today." And the ultimate tool for creating your reality - Gratitude - let's remember to be grateful for all we have and are in each moment -  this in itself will assist the Universe to direct toward us more to be grateful for.

Other news...
Just in time to 'detox' and get in shape for spring - we have purchased a new sauna which provides more effective detoxification and deeper penetration of the far infrared rays. So book in now for a new look for spring both inside and out. You can have five sessions for the price of four!

Talking about the outside: We have also been increasingly aware of toxic chemicals in face care products which we apply every day. Most beauty products contain a dreadful cocktail of different chemicals - many of which have been linked to various health problems. The list of potentially harmful ingredients includes chemicals linked to cancers, hormone problems, kidney damage, headaches, depression, eczema and skin-irritations. Yeck!!

So fortunately for us all, we have sourced some really yummy natural alternatives that do just as good a job without the harsh residuals.
And on special this month for everybody is a wonderful organic rice body scrub which is designed to remove old skin, allowing new skin to flourish and leaving you glowing with health and radiance. Usual price $25.50 - save $6 - today only $19.50 (+ P&P or pickup!)
Mmmmmm.....looking good and smelling great!

Call us to order yours!

Drugs increase risk of heart attack by 40%
ABC news

Research at the University of Newcastle has found diclofenac sodium could increase cardio-vascular events by 40 per cent. The drug is most commonly known as Voltaren but is also sold under the names Clonac, Diclohexal and Fenac.

The international research was based on studies from dozens of people who had used the drugs, Diclofenac and Indomethacin.

Professor David Henry from Newcastle University says the results of the review of the 17 studies into the safety of the drug need to be interpreted carefully.

"I think that for people at low risk of heart attacks it probably doesn't constitute much of a risk," he said.

Well isn't that interesting? "It doesn't constitute much of a risk!!"  what about this fact..

For approx 30% of the 1.2 million heart attack victims each year the first sign of a problem is sudden death. Half of these unexpected events occur in women. 
So if you don't know you are at risk which 30% of people obviously don't .. then it starts to look like Russian Roulette to take this drug. 

There are many great options in the natural health field which can assist you to reduce pain and help you to live a comfortable life even when suffering from arthritis. We won't advise you to stop taking your drugs - but we can help you to reduce your pain levels to the degree that you do not need them any more.

Keep your pets disease free and reduce those vet bills!! 

We all think about our own health - then open a can for the dog or the cat - hardly passing a thought for what may be in that can. Well we won't even go there as some of that's just too horrible but we will remind you to have a look at the following experiment done in 1932 by Francis Pottenger M.D. on cats.

He fed one group of cats a raw diet and a second different group a cooked diet. By the third generation, those cats that were fed a cooked diet could no longer reproduce. They suffered from skin problems, skeletal deformities, behavioural problems and organ malfunctions.

There was an abundance of parasites and vermin while skin diseases and allergies increased from an incidence of five percent in normal cats to over 90 percent in the third generation of deficient cats.

The cats suffered from most of the degenerative diseases encountered in human medicine and died out totally by the fourth generation - says a lot of not overcooking your own food doesn't it?

Our advice for really healthy animals is feed them good quality raw meat - dogs need bones to chomp on.. otherwise they are also more likely to chew your shoes, furniture or anything else they can get their teeth into. Cats are happy with raw meat and the best quality biscuits you can buy - (not the supermarket variety!) - milk is really once again for baby cows - neither your cat nor your dog need it at all. My cat has had only two vet visits in her life - once for de-sexing and once for an infection gained care of a fight she had with another cat. She is 13 years old.

Sahaja's recommended book for this week:

"Peace Is The Way" by Deepak Chopra

You can buy it here at Fishpond

For a little light relief!!

The wise old Mother Superior from county Tipperary was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her comfortable. They gave her warm milk to drink, but she refused it. One nun took the glass back to the kitchen.
 
Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey the nuns had received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.
 
The nun took the glass back to Mother Superior's bedside, and held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more. Before they knew it, she had downed  the whole glass, down to the last drop.
 
"Mother," the nuns asked earnestly, "please give us some wisdom before you die."
 
Mother Superior slowly raised her head, and with a pious look on her face whispered,
"Don't sell that cow!!!!
