Freedom In Crisis: The Natural Health Products Protection Association  (NHPPA)

Shawn Buckley LLB
Constitutional and criminal lawyer with expertise in the Food & Drugs Act, President NHPPA Admission free; Donations appreciated.
Lecture Info and flyer www.nhppa.org  

Government policies are restricting your access to natural health products and your choice of ordinary consumer products, more than ever before. They say it's for safety; that government control is vital for our protection. Shawn Buckley is crossing the country with his shocking new lecture demonstrating the end of Canadians' rights and freedoms.


.The Freedom In Crisis lecture tour is taking up-to-date details on the road to ensure more people join the movement to fight for their rights. The NHPPA hopes that through illustrating current cases more people will understand the catastrophic flaws in policies imposed on us by Health Canada.

Learn how the Natural Health Product Regulations have Health Canada poised to raid legitimate business and how they have been pulling products we've taken for granted off store shelves. At the same time, Bill C-36: Canada's Consumer Product Safety Act, if passed, will attack manufacturers' and consumers' constitutional and legal rights. Hear the life and death implications of taking natural health products from the market and understand how a new law (Bill C-36) will elevate unelected, untrained government inspectors above the rule of law.

Become aware of the danger to Canadians' individual freedoms and livelihoods. Join the fight to protect your rights and stop the criminalization of products you rely on, while there is still time. www.nhppa.org  

Lecture Tour Schedule
Tuesday Nov 30 Moncton, New Brunswick
Wednesday Dec 1 Winnipeg, Manitoba
Sunday Dec 5 Penticton, British Columbia
Monday Dec 6 Vancouver, British Columbia
Tuesday Dec 7 Edmonton, Alberta
Wednesday Dec 8 Calgary, Alberta

Further Information
The Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA) is a federally incorporated, non-profit organization devoted to protecting Canadians' access to natural health products.

Unlearn your Pain

by Dr Howard Schubiner
Published by Mind Body Publishing. 2010. ISBN-10: 0984336702.

Unlearn Your Pain by Dr Howard Schubiner, outlines a 28-day self-directed program that allows people to end chronic pain.


"People who suffer chronic pain have real pain," explains Dr Schubiner. "Doctors treat the part of the body that's feeling the pain, but that is rarely the true source of the pain. If medical tests do not reveal any serious structural problem, then chronic pain is due to overly sensitized connections between the brain and the body. Overtime they become wired into the brain's circuitry. The nervous system learns to create chronic pain.

"Pain is a relatively common manifestation of stress and emotional reactions to stress. Mind body medicine has helped innumerable people, yet only a relatively small number of physicians have incorporated this work into their practices. In fact, few physicians are even aware that syndromes such as back and neck pain, headaches, fatigue, fibromyalgia, temporo-mandibular joint syndrome, and irritable bowel and bladder syndromes can be caused by stress due to unresolved emotions such as worry, anxiety, fears, and anger."
 
Dr Schubiner's treatment and groundbreaking research supports the fact that the best way to cure pain is to retrain the brain and the nervous system. Unlearn Your Pain explains the science behind chronic pain in an easy-to-understand manner and gives  people the same step-by-step approach that Dr Schubiner has used for years in his own clinical practice to reverse his patients' chronic pain.

About the Author
Dr. Howard Schubiner has practised medicine for thirty-two years, is board certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Adolescent Medicine and is the Director of the Mind Body Medicine Center at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan. He is a Clinical Professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine where he teaches and conducts research. He has authored more than sixty scientific publications and lectures nationally and internationally. He may be contacted on Tel: 001 248-849-4728;   hschubiner@gmail.com

Sensitive Support Shampoo
Wheat protein strengthens hair and helps retain moisture whilst a powerful blend of soothing herbal extracts, such as boswellia, helps protect and nourish the scalp. Neem oil has also been added because of its traditional application in helping dry skin.

Sensitive Support Conditioner
Vitamin B12 and wheat protein help repair dry and damaged hair. Natural active ingredients derived from meadowfoam oil improve the sheen, feel and appearance of hair, leaving it untangled and smooth whilst conditioning and strengthening.

Choosing to Be - Lessons in Living from a Feline Zen Master

by Kat Tansey
Published by Findhorn Press. Oct 2010.Paperback. £7.99. ISBN: 978 1 84409 501 8.

After 20 years in a high-pressure career in change management Kat Tansey's active life was derailed by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which reached its peak on a cold, grey, rainy morning in 1993, when she faced an important decision: should she stay to fight another day with suicidal depression or should she take her life?  Choosing to Be... is a true account of Kat's journey from deep depression to emotional wellness, and her story will inspire all those caught on the hamster wheel of life and sufferers of stress and 'must do' syndrome.


Choosing to Be is based on real events and real characters. The central characters are the author, a Buddha master - a Maine Coon cat named Poohbear Degoonacoon - and his kitten muse Catzenbear.  This compelling book is an account of Kat's personal journey where she uses her imagination to intuit / hear Poohbear's wise advice based on his own attitude toward life according to Buddhist teachings - so starkly contrasting with her own at the time.

Choosing to Be offers a unique mix of the author's personal experience and lessons in how to meditate via her 'dialogue' with her cats. These lessons and meditations help the author free herself from the restrictions of 'ordinary mind' - a Buddhist term for 'a mind hindered by clinging, anger, sleepiness, restlessness and doubt' - and settle into the Buddha mind of wisdom and peace.

The value of meditation is clearly demonstrated by Kat and her Feline Zen Master in a way that is absorbing and enlightening.  Choosing to Be is a self-improvement book with a difference.  Even if the reader is not inclined to move towards Buddhist meditation, they will discover relevant and helpful life lessons here.  For over-achievers, Choosing to Be will help them discover the importance of why we should stop 'doing' and move towards 'being' by learning how to make time for ourselves and quietening the busiest mind.

New 66fit™ Ab Roller Exercise Wheel

PhysioSupplies brings the latest and most advanced rehabilitation and recovery products direct to the public, medical professionals and patients, at affordable prices.


Proven Tone Tool
The new 66fit™ Ab Roller Exercise Wheel is a 3-in-1 toning tool that is proven to tone abs, back of the arms and shoulders all at the same time.

Featuring a two way easy-glide wheeled system plus foam padded moulded handles for easy grip and comfort, the 66fit™ Ab Roller Exercise Wheel targets the hard-to-exercise lower abs, giving an even tone and that elusive 6-pack!

Supplied with a knee pad for even more comfort, the 66fit™ Ab Roller Exercise Wheel is lightweight and extremely portable, making it the perfect workout tool as a little space and a solid floor are the only other essentials.

Directions:

• Hold the Ab Roller with both hands and kneel on the floor;
• Now place the Ab Roller on the floor in front of you so that you are on all your hands and knees (as in a kneeling push up position). This will be your starting position;
• Slowly roll the Ab Roller straight forward, stretching your body into a straight position. Tip: Go down as far as you can without touching the floor with your body. Breathe in during this portion of the movement;
• After a pause at the stretched position, start pulling yourself back to the starting position as you breathe out. Tip: Go slowly and keep your abs tight at all times.

Caution: This exercise is not advised for people with lower back problems or hernias.
Variations: If you are advanced you can perform the exercise moving the Ab Roller to the sides in a
diagonal fashion as opposed to straight forward. This version places more emphasis on the obliques.

Further Information
RRP: £10.99 including FREE UK Mainland delivery and VAT. To find out about the new 66fit™ Ab Roller Exercise Wheel and other products, please contact Physio Supplies on Tel: 01775 640 972;   www.physiosupplies.com
