Summer Time, Sugar Time
Not that the rest of the year isn't sugar time, but those lovely, innocent-looking umbrella drinks and the chocolate ch
ocolate chip ice cream are enough to set off the "Sugar Happies" closely followed by the "Sugar Blues".
One of the ways to undermine the power of those cravings is to eat nice clean proteins like the hummus recipe below. It can always be ready to go - no waiting. It satisfies the carb urge and our sugar-addicted little bodies forget about wanting the sugar - for a while anyway. Of course, other foods like avocados, bananas and those great summer fruits also help. Try eating them with a handful of almonds or other nuts (not peanuts).
SUGAR CRAVINGS VANQUISHED WITH NEW PAN D-M FORMULA
Our newly formulated Pan D-M (previously Pan D-2) is a hit for sugar cravings. A note that came with a re-order read: "The newly formulated Pan D-M is incredible! I have no sugar cravings! That is amazing. When I switched from the Patic Fe to Pan D-2, I noticed great improvement. And now, with the Pan D-M, it's better again by leaps and bounds! Thank you for always looking to improve formulas for your clients."And this note from another patient for just feeling better overall:"It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly well these herbs work! I'm already having a dramatic decrease in hair loss, much more balanced energy, and I feel like new. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" This patient is taking the TQH, Bilica, Cramp Bark and Patic Fe.

ALLERGIES REMINDER
We talked about spring allergies in the April 1st e-news and how the ALLER-TOTAL or ALLERDRAIN can take care of them without side effects. Still, one sees and hears an extravagance of mucous all over the place. Just remember that any cow's milk products will make this even more extravagant. Try goat, almond or rice milk and goat milk cheeses, yogurts and butters until it passes.

Best Way to Eat Eggs
While this probably isn't news to you (Eve having nagged you with it for years), eating your eggs and other proteins with plenty of veggies, has now been backed up by researchers at Purdue University* with yet another good reason for this delicious combo.Their protein of choice for this study was whole eggs, further vindicating egg yolks from the cholesterol hoax that was created to promote statin drugs. The study found that eating whole eggs with raw veggies increases the nutritional benefits received from the vegetables.They credited the fat portion of the egg yolk as the main factor in boosting nutrient absorption from the carotenoids in the yellow, orange and red colored veggies. The amount of absorption and benefits increased with the number of eggs and colorfulness (more carotenoids) of the salad.Three groups of young men were given three different salads, each with ½ to ¾ of a pound of mixed raw veggies that included romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, baby spinach, tomatoes and Chinese wolfberry (goji berries). One group had no eggs in the salad, the second group had 1½ scrambled eggs and third had 3 scrambled eggs (boiled, poached, etc. is fine too). The more eggs, the greater the amount of absorption of carotenoids - 3 to 9 times increased cartenoid absorption than veggies alone.
IT'S THE OILS (IN THE EGGS)
The key to the salads was the variety of colorful veggies for the different types of carotenoids. And as they believe that it is the oils in the egg yolk that are increasing absorption and nutritional benefits, similar results can be enjoyed using fish and/or olive oil rich dressings.Buon appetito!*http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150329141005.htmBest of health to you always,Doctor DaveFrom So.

High Blood Pressure: One Person's Success Story
If your blood pressure has been feeling a bit roller coaster-ish during the tax season, here's a cheery story:
One Patient's High Blood Pressure Testimonial
"Hi Eve,"I just wanted to let you know, I've been taking your herb regimen [for High Blood Pressure] and I feel tons better. I am embarrassed to say, I almost never remember to take them three times a day, but often 2 times a day, and once in a while just once a day."My energy is way up, and I haven't had the dizzy/head rushes that I was having. I went off of the blood pressure medication a couple of weeks ago (after closely monitoring what it read while I was on the medication). It went up slightly, but seems to be staying in the low 130s/80s range, occasionally a bit higher, like 140s/low 90s, depending on time of day and activities. But nearly always, I can just relax for 3-4 deep breaths and it will fall back into the lower range. I feel quite comfortable about my health in that range, especially since noticing such a positive change in so many other areas after quitting the medication. I have nearly stopped eating wheat (just a little here and there, in things like chile rellenos), and I believe as my nutrition gets better and I remember to take your herbs on a more strict regimen, that those readings will probably continue to decline."And man, I was reading about blood pressure and the W.H.O. (World Health Org.) standards, and the benefits the pharmaceutical companies got when W.H.O. lowered the definition of [normal] blood pressure to 120/80, which by default made half of mankind fall into high blood pressure diagnoses. Really? Half the people on the planet have something wrong with their blood pressure? Seems a little fishy..."Then the fact that some of the blood pressure meds have shown to increase risk of heart attack and stroke (including the one I was on), and doctors continue to prescribe them without so much as a blink of an eye. It seems like an incredible crime to medicate so many people who don't necessarily need it. I can't believe that so many physicians go along with it - they must know what a sham it is?"Thank you so much for enabling me to start getting my health back under control and especially for getting me off those damn pharmaceuticals. You are amazing, as always!!!!"This patient used the basic High Blood Pressure Therapy Pack formulas of HBP, MNF and Blend F.GOAT MILK for our Feline CompanionsWe adopted a couple of furballs a year ago, Guido and Ilsa, and they were not up to their kitty struts or shining coats. Gassiness with sore butts was another little problem.I tried giving them some goat milk along with their dried food and now they are glowing and pouncing every which way. They both lap it up, though I've noted that they often wait a day before they do, to let it sour - i.e., turn to something like yogurt for that good bacteria. Clever kitties.Many ThanksFor referring others to us, more heartfelt Thanks to Robin Hart Cohen, Liz Heller and Aisha Mason.Best of health to you always,Doc EveFrom So.

Allergies and the Updated PATIC FE
Are we enjoying spring yet?Allergies abound with lots of sneezing and harrumphing going on here and everywhere right now. Remember the ALLER-TOTAL works a charm for those itchy eyes and runny noses, while the ALLERDRAIN is better for the stuffed up probosces."The JOY BLEND is working wonders, thank you" was a little love note from last month, confirming it is still living up to its legend as our go-to antidepressant. It contains the wonderful Borage plant that is also in the PATIC FE.As to that...MEET THE NEW PATIC FE for daily tips and updatesOlive Tapenade: Quick, Delicious, Healthy
Olive Tapenade is the simplest recipe of the lot - just 3 ingredients.
Ingredients:2 cans (12-16 oz.) of pitted black olives3-6 peeled lg. cloves of garlic, depending on size¼ to ½ cup (4-8 Tbsp.) of olive oilDirections:With a colander, shake and drain the olives a couple times and set aside while peeling the garlic.Using a Cuisinart, or similar food processor, with the chopping blade, toss in the olives and garlic cloves, then drizzle the olive oil on top.Blend using the pulse button 1-3 times, check for desired consistency with a rubber spatula, and voilà.Olive tapenade is a most toothsome hors d'œuvre on fresh rosemary/olive bread, thin rice crackers, celery, sliced carrot or most any other favorite veggie. We also like to use it as "butter" in a sandwich or wrap.BILICA AND AR+ TO THE RESCUE - TESTIMONIALSA patient recently emailed us with feedback on pain relief for her dog and an elderly family member:"...with the BILICA, however, I would like 4 bottles. My dog is loving it and has had a MIRACULOUS recovery from a bum knee! He needed surgery several months back and now he is walking, jumping and running again! Amazing." I later found out that she offered the BILICA to her 92-year-old father-in-law whose knee it also helped.And just in the last couple weeks, my mother-in-law, who is 88 and now living with us in Oregon, is enjoying much relief from arthritic pain in her hands and hips using the BILICA in conjunction with the AR+ formula.This combination of BILICA and AR+, by the way, is what you'll find in the Dog Joint Pain Therapy Pack.JUST A THOUGHT..."We could begin to contemplate the fact that nothing is as solid as it seems."
