January 2014
Salutations from the Wellness Center, your source for Supplements and Body Care and Happy 2014! I am always astounded when the New Year arrives reminding me that yet another year has passed. I pause and reflect on what has been important in my life and wonder if these things will continue to hold importance in the New Year or if they will be replaced by new more important items.
I know that one theme that has held importance in my life for some time is good health which is why I am committed to the work that I do at SLO Natural Foods!! And I am so happy to share with you, our Member/Owners, all the great new opportunities to increase your health happening in the Wellness Center.
I am so grateful to have such great support in the Representatives of the Vitamins lines that are featured here at the SLO Natural Foods Wellness Center. Ted Horoschak is one of these gems! He has been in this industry for over 30 years and has seen many changes, some for the good, some, not so much. But one thing to be sure is that I learn something every time we have an appointment. And this last time I was introduced to a line of vitamins that has surpassed anything in the industry so far. The line is called Quality of Life and the name speaks for itself but what I found so revolutionary is the process by which they formulated these particular vitamins. They put together a protocol where every ingredient that is used in these supplements has been clinically tried at the human level for optimum results. That means that every product has the guarantee that the result that was attained in the trial will also be attained when you take Quality of Life supplements. Why?? Because the amount and efficacy of ingredients is the same as the amount and efficacy that was used in that clinical trial.
This is amazing on a few levels, one, is that now we can get great results and not have to wonder if this product will work or not based on simply reading the labels, we can be sure that the result will be the same as the result with that same ingredient that was achieved in the clinical. And two, we don’t need to doubt if it was a placebo effect when we get good results. “A double blind , randomized clinical study of 70 women found that taking NKO caused a significant reduction in the emotional and physical symptoms of PMS.” (Label information on the Women’s Health Krill Oil bottle.) So because I tend to be a skeptic I had to try it myself and low and behold this is the first month I didn’t use Advil for pain in about 1 year!!
So I am thoroughly impressed by the efficiency of this product line and invite you to come and look at what is available. The products featured in our Wellness Center are the AHCC mushrooms, Curcumin, (Turmeric), CoQ-10, Serotonin, Krill Oil and many more. Come in and see what these products can do for you!!

“The part can never be well unless the whole is well.” –Plato
From November, 2013
Tis the season for temperature changes, warm days and cooler nights and even some rain!! While we all revel in the changes, enjoying the lovely turning leaves , the apples, squash, pumpkins and the soup making weather it is also the time to boost your immune system with some great stand by’s that are keeping the Coop staff healthy and avoid the sniffles, coughs and general malaise that is going around.
The Healthy Immune packets from Now are filled with great things to ward off the cold season, with Elderberry, Olive leaf, Probiotics, Vit. C and Zinc all this in a little packet you put in a glass of water.
Oscillococcinum the Boiron homeopathic with a punch is a great preventative or “as soon as you feel the chills coming on” remedy. I always give this to my son a few days before he gets on a plane and he never gets sick on his vacations back east.
Umcka by Nature’s Way is a pelargonium extract that in clinical studies has shown to shorten the duration of cold and flu sickness time up to 50%. This is a great product when you have come down with the yuckies and you want to move through it quickly.
The ultimate in flu eradication will always be had by the powerful Elderberry Syrup by Planetary Formulas. And it is soooo tasty, good for the whole family. And being a tonic herb is fine to take every day during the cold and flu season.
And if you have a cough with thick or resistant phlegm the best remedy I have found is the Loquat Respiratory syrup with Slippery Elm and Wild Cherry from Planetary Formulas. And the taste I prefer to the Wild Cherry bark by itself.
And last but not least Quantum Zinc, Elderberry and Echinacea lozenges in Raspberry and Cherry flavor are the best for that sore throat and those tickles that turn into coughs.
Hope this helps you and your family stay healthy for the Fall and Winter season so you can enjoy all the fun!! And if you have any questions please come on by and ask me in person.
