Best Care Himalayan Crystal Salt

Himalayan crystal salt is the most beneficial, cleanest salt available on this planet, where the energy of the sun has dried up the original, primal sea, millions of years ago. This crystal salt is absolutely pristine and natural, identical to the ancient primal ocean. It contains all the elements found in our bodies.

This special salt is only waiting for the moment to have its inherent, stored energy, its bio-photon content, set free, by adding water to it. Such crystalline sole is a pure ocean of energy.

Today, European Doctors and Alternative Therapists alike are successfully applying the ancient knowledge of "Sole" or brine water, derived from combining Original Himalayan Crystal Salt with good quality spring water. Their success is once again worthy of our attention and you can gain immediate access to the hidden power of these unparalleled natural salt crystals. This natural crystal salt has been exposed for millions of years to enormous pressure. This pressure was the cause of the formation of this crystal salt. The higher the compression, the more perfect the crystalline structure, with its inherent information/energy becomes, and these rock crystals have the most perfect geometric structure found.

Crystal salt floats in transparent, whitish, pinkish or reddish shiny veins in the salt mountain and crystallises in areas where sufficient pressure was available to form this perfect crystalline structure. The more geometrically perfect the cube shaped crystal is, the higher is the information content, similar to a diamond. In this crystal salt, the elements are available in such tiny particles that they can be easily absorbed by the human cells and metabolised. Crystal salt, in its perfect form, from a geological viewpoint, is also called halite.

Ilkley Complementary Medicine Festival (ICMF) celebrates its 25th birthday in March 2013

The event this year is running on Saturday 23 March and Sunday 24 March 2013. Doors open from 10am -5pm both days.

It was first started by Beryl Fox, a local lady living in Ilkley who visited a Mind Body & Spirit event in London and having a keen interest in these events decided to hold the same at the Kings Hall in Ilkley. The venue of the Kings Hall and Winter Gardens in Ilkley is an ideal place to hold such an event.  Beryl first did the event annually but in 1990 went to twice yearly and that remains the same today. I joined Beryl in 1992 and Michael followed in 2000. It was with such sadness that Beryl had to give up the event due to ill health in March 2005 and Michael and I assured her that we would continue to help the event grow and remain as popular as ever. 

Each year we are able to introduce new exhibitors and the recommendations we receive with new enquiries is because they have heard ICMF is the best event in the North of England.

ICMF continues to support local traders who are stand holders over the weekend and who own businesses within the Yorkshire area whether they are practitioners or shop traders. We also have exhibitors who come from afar and supportive our event. The number of visitors to the event remains as popular as ever.

Exhibitors always say they “are coming home” when they return to Ilkley. We have a fabulous team of helpers who have been with us for many years. Whether you are a new exhibitor or old one, there will be a cup of Yorkshire tea/coffee waiting for you on arrival. Help is at hand to get your goods into the venue and the same applies on the Sunday when you leave. We serve good home made food at the event and even the cakes are popular.

As the present Festival Organisers our goals are to continue to make Beryl’s dream a reality and our thanks go to her for having the initiative to started Ilkley Complementary Medicine Festival in March 1985.

Happy Birthday ICMF

Seagreens® Seaweed for Weight Regulation

2012 saw the publication of some independent, groundbreaking peer-reviewed research conducted by the Centre for Food Innovation at Sheffield Hallam University. It was the first time that the efficacy of whole food seaweed had been scientifically tested as potentially useful in the treatment of obesity.

A teaspoon of Seagreens® human food qualityTM seaweed was fed to a group of overweight but otherwise healthy men, as an ingredient in an otherwise normal breakfast of toast and scrambled eggs. After eating the breakfast, the men who ate the seaweed consumed an average 179 less calories per day than the control group - significant, because a daily reduction of 100 calories is already known to be sufficient to prevent weight gain. The trial subjects had no idea that the bread they were eating contained Seagreens. The Seagreens bread and the control bread were thoroughly tested for taste acceptability prior to this single blind crossover trial.

Seagreens are high in specific phenols, which naturally inhibit the carbohydrate digesting enzymes a-amylase and a-glucosidase, and therefore slow the release of sugar into the blood, effectively making us feel fuller for longer. This is similar to the effect of eating lower GI (Glycemic Index) foods.

In obesity there is often inflammation and an acidic system. The wild wrack seaweed harvested by Seagreens is a natural anti-inflammatory, and it is some 7 times more alkalizing than apples! With a pH between 8 and 10, it is one of the most alkalizing of all foods.

Overall, certain seaweeds are an unparalleled source of organic minerals and trace elements - in fact all the naturally occurring micronutrients which are often depleted in our soils and

deficient in manufactured foods.

Acceptance of Bioresonance with Rayonex - Health Leads UK

Rayonex and the acceptance of bioresonance are enjoying some exciting times. Playing a large part are prestigious research facilities such as the University of Marburg and the Fraunhofer Institute in Dresden where a study was conducted in 2012. The Institute developed a method by which cell complexes are systematically damaged. If a defined degree of damage then exists, it can be assessed to determine if a therapeutic approach, e.g., bioresonance therapy is effective. This study also ruled out placebo effect.

To quote their findings - ‘Rayonex devices increase the metabolic activity of fibroblasts up to 8 %.’ - ‘The results obtained with Keratinocytes are particularly interesting. Damaged cells show significantly high activities in the normal cell division phase. This applies, in particular, to the PS 1000 with 40 % increased activity.’

Nearly 2000 automatic treatment programs can be run on the device and the possibilities of analysis are infinite. With this device it is possible for instance to pinpoint an energetic dysregulation of the heart; determine if it is a valve, chamber, artery etc. It’s possible to determine pathology such as angina; decipher which pathogens are involved and much more. This can be achieved in minutes. Even though the Rayocomps are class 2a medical devices, analysis is strictly for research and experimentation.

It is heartening to receive positive reports from those who accept that the future lies with energy medicine and take steps to protect their own health and that of patients avoiding negative environmental influences modern life presents.

Bioresonance devices are a development of established therapies such as homeopathy and acupuncture which date back 2 to 3000 years. Likewise reflexology, shiatsu, chi-gong, are all forms of energy medicine. It seems our ancestors knew there was more to life than chemical processes.

Acknowledging that we are controlled primarily by energies and secondly by chemicals it follows that energetic fields should exert an influence on body and regulatory mechanisms.

The dangers of electro-smog from household appliances and high frequency devices are widely acknowledged; even the WHO classifies wireless devices as potential carcinogens. Surrounded by high frequency radiation it’s vital to know how to practice avoidance, shield and protect ourselves. We have no senses for these energies but many animals do. Our 7 chickens have Mini-Rayonex devices in their hutches and we have seen a marked difference in their wellbeing. They are aware of these devices, often they can be seen standing by them; perhaps they know what helps. Humans who search beyond the ‘accepted’ can too.

Rayonex is a very ethical eco company; they live by their philosophy.  The office pyramids use geothermal heating and esmog is infinitesimal yet the buildings use high Technology and seem futuristic while merging smoothly with ancient wisdom. The complex including Science Park are a delight to visit, many thousands do so annually.

Get Yourself Soy Slim in 2013

A new study, published in the International Journal of Preventative Medicine, has shown that simply replacing a glass of cow’s milk a day with soya milk could be enough to help significantly reduce your waist line. The study looked at 24 women in a trial in which for four weeks they drank cow’s milk and then, after a two week gap, they swapped to soya milk, drinking one glass a day, for a further four weeks.

The results showed that there was a significant different in the size the women dropped off the waistlines dependent on which type of milk they drank, and that when the women consumed soya milk they dropped an average of 3.79% (+/- 0.51) off their waistlines. That’s one and a quarter inches off the waistline of the average woman in the UK, just from swapping one glass of milk!

Whilst the researchers didn’t look in detail at how soya milk resulted in the decrease in waist circumference, they thought it might be related to soy milk phytoestrogen (a plant chemical that acts like the hormone oestrogen) content and soy milk protein which may play an important role on reducing fat accumulation.

The Tastiest Way to Benefit from Soya Milk

Whilst the various benefits of soya milk have been well publicized, those wanting to give it a go to see if they can drop a few inches off their waists, will be pleased to know that there’s a new soya brand launching in Tesco in January that promises to put soya milk on the map for its taste and not just its health attributes.

Vive Soy is the leading soya milk brand in Spain and for good reason. They produce delicious soy milks and shakes that are renowned for their flavour and have become a firm favourite in households around Europe, beating other leading brands in taste tests. Now for the first time they have arrived in the UK and hope to show shoppers why 2013 is the time to give soya milk a go.

American Heart Association Scientific Sessions and The Journal of Urology® Studies Further Validate Whole Body Health Benefits of Cranberries

New studies link cranberry juice consumption with improvements in blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors in adults and urinary tract health in children. Four new studies have joined the growing body of research reinforcing the cranberry’s well-documented health benefits, dense nutrients, and polyphenol antioxidants. Among the studies is recently presented data from the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions, which correlates low-calorie cranberry juice consumption with improved blood pressure and reduced cardiovascular risk factors in adults. This, in conjunction with two new urinary tract health studies published by The Journal of Urology (Official Journal of the American Urological Association) and the Archives of Internal Medicine, joins the latest group of scientific studies that add to the cranberry’s whole body health credentials.

Cranberries and Heart Health

A new study presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions in Los Angeles has found further evidence of the cranberry’s ability to reduce cardiovascular risk factors in adults due to the wealth of polyphenol antioxidant compounds found in cranberries. Conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s in-house research arm Agricultural Research Service, the study found that participants who drank cranberry juice as part of a typical American diet had lower triglyceride and C-reactive protein levels, an indicator of inflammation, than those who did not.

The study, an eight-week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial led by USDA research physiologist Dr. Janet Novotny, looked at the effect of daily consumption of a low-calorie cranberry juice drink on risk factors of cardiovascular disease in normal-weight adults age 50 and over. After eight weeks, volunteers who consumed cranberry juice were found to have significantly lower triglyceride levels, a risk factor for heart disease, than those who consumed the placebo beverage. Volunteers who consumed cranberry juice also experienced significant lowering of C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation that plays a role in heart attack and stroke.

Ubiquinol and Glavonoid™ - Natural Efficiency and Safety

Kaneka Pharma Europe in Nov 2012 highlighted new application forms for its scientifically-backed ingredients: Ubiquinol, the active form of coenzyme Q10 with higher bioavailability, and the licorice extract Glavonoid™, which helps to reduce visceral fat. The vitamin-like Ubiquinol is important for the body’s energy production and furthermore protects cells from oxidative damage. Both ingredients are produced in a natural way, using special, patented methods.

As one of its basic components, Ubiquinol supports the body’s respiratory chain. This vital process produces more than 95 percent of the energy and supplies it to the heart, brain, muscles and everywhere else that energy is needed. Ubiquinol is therefore essential for high level performance - mentally as well as physically. Since it does not have to be converted into an active form before the body can use it, Ubiquinol has a more rapid and better effect than coenzyme Q10.

The company also presented its Novel Food-approved licorice extract Glavonoid™. Derived from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.), it offers unique dual help in fighting visceral fat, thanks to its ability to activate the body’s fat metabolism and suppress fat synthesis. Studies have confirmed that an intake of 100 mg Glavonoid™ per day burns 130 kcal of body fat daily. A recent trial has shown that, in combination with exercise, a single dose of 600 mg Glavonoid™ leads to increased lipolysis in the body by accelerating fat metabolism. The extract can be used for weight management in food supplements and beverages based on milk, yoghurt, fruit and vegetables. It can also be included in products aimed at the sports and fitness market, as well as healthy ageing.

About Kaneka Pharma Europe

Kaneka Pharma Europe is based in Brussels. It is a full subsidiary of Kaneka Japan, the world’s leading supplier of coenzyme Q10 and the only supplier of Ubiquinol (the active form of CoQ10).  Most recently, Kaneka developed the licorice root extract Glavonoid™, which supports the reduction of visceral fat.
