New Products as We Approach a New Year

Where has the year gone? I bet you are asking the same thing. Time has definitely sped up on us as we are bombarded with so many different means of communication. Life is definitely more exciting this way, but we need periods of total withdrawal from all the stimulation as well. It's part of keeping healthy. So enjoy the fellowship and the generosity of the holidays but may Peace and Silence be with you also.

This has been a fruitful year for Whole World Botanicals. We have developed a number of new products in 2002, including two liquid extracts – Cat’s Claw Liquid Extract, and Royal Lucraco Plus™ Liquid Extract. Royal Lucraco Plus is a highly effective prostate formula.

Our feedback on this new prostate health formula has been just outstanding. At one holistic health clinic that ordered this product for their patients with prostate problems, they sent the following report: "We're having great success with Royal Lucraco Plus. One of our patients first went to his urologist with his main complaint being that he had to get up in the night 3 or 4 times to urinate. His doctor diagnosed an enlarged prostate and prescribed Proscar(r) a well-known pharmaceutical drug for high PSA levels. Since this drug didn't improve his ability to hold his urine all night, he decided to try a holistic approach, in his effort to avoid surgery. The holistic clinic first put him on saw palmetto and African pygeum along with some other nutritional support for two months. Unfortunately, he still had no improvement in his symptoms and he was considering surgery to reduce the size of his prostate gland as his only solution. Then his doctor decided to give Royal Lucraco plus a try with him, while maintaining him on the Proscar, and the other herbs. He experienced dramatic relief within 10 days and since then has been able to sleep through the night without problems!”

Although the Royal Lucraco Plus is able to reduce the swelling of an enlarged prostate about 20%, in some cases such as this one, that 20% made it possible for this man to get a good night's sleep.

Holiday Combos: Save on the Gift of Health!

Some of you are thinking ahead and are ordering many samples of Royal Maca and Royal Desmodium caps which I can only assume are destined to be small gifts for friends, family, colleagues, stocking stuffers, etc. It's pretty difficult these days to find a small meaningful gift for $12, so I think these folks are showing great imagination. For those of you who want to offer a more substantial gift to a loved one we have come up with some unique SPECIALS -- including a great one especially for the guys.

To encourage you to give an unusual and thoughtful Gift Toward Health this holiday season, we have made available to you four Holiday Combinations, each one containing a Royal Maca product plus another product.

There is an amazing new relevance and openness to the "whole world of herbs" now that the pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy has turned out to be lethal for a certain percentage of women. And although Viagra is selling like hotcakes, it is very expensive and has its own unpleasant --sometimes dangerous side effects. Royal Maca for Men is a great gift for the Natural Man.

It's always great to give someone a gift that they might not buy for themselves but would be pleased to receive and these products fall into that category. Who wouldn't be glad to get Royal Camu, which can improve SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), so prevalent in the dark of winter. Who wouldn't be happy to get Royal Desmodium, which can clear the nose and lungs of someone with a head cold or chest cold or bronchitis within minutes, without raising blood pressure or pulse rate or causing any other unpleasant side effects? Who wouldn't be thrilled to receive the Royal Cat's Claw Liquid Extract to help improve bowel regularity (and detoxification), while improving immune function? All all of these come as a package deal with Royal Maca or Royal Maca for Men to balance the endocrine glands naturally and promote hormonal health.

When to Take a Break From Royal Maca

Some of you have sent emails asking if you could take a shorter break than two to four weeks from the Royal Maca, and the answer is YES. For many women it works better to take Royal Maca either six days a week or even five days a week and never take a longer break.

Other women -- who have been able to bring severe and almost constant hot flashes and night sweats under control -- dare not even take a break for one day. Not to worry. In six months to a year and a half, these severe disturbances will probably subside on their own and you can start taking short breaks at that point.

For the men, some of them also do best on just two caps to four caps a day with a break once a week. Others prefer a slightly larger dose just two or three times a week. To a large extent, you can let your body be your guide. After all, you are taking a therapeutic food supplement -- not a medicine.

Testimonials for Royal Cat's Claw Liquid Extract

One of the physicians at a large alternative medicine clinic in New York City reports that a patient with a family history of coronary problems was given Royal Cat's Claw (Uncaria Tomentosa) Liquid Extract to help promote his immune system function and his circulatory health. Within five weeks of taking one teaspoon twice a day on an empty stomach his C Reactive Protein Level in his blood had dropped almost to zero. Previously it had been high and his doctor was concerned, since a high C Reactive Protein blood level has been correlated with risk of future heart attack. His doctor has put him on a maintenance dosage of one teaspoon a day, five days a week.

Mary Shomon, author of the bestselling books Living Well With Hypothyroidism and Living Well With Autoimmune Disease has a new article up at her site, called "Mary Shomon's Medicine Cabinet," which is a look at the supplements and products she personally uses for optimal health. We're pleased that Mary has included our Royal Cat's Claw Extract as one of the products she personally uses.

Mary says:

This South American medicinal herb has incredibly potent antiviral properties, and is one of the up and coming wonder-herbs of the 21st century, as far as I am concerned. I can't LIVE without this year round, for infections, stomach upset, colds, viruses, and any time I'm feeling low on energy. I like the extract form, rather than the tea, because it's easier to take, and tastes fine. I will only use Whole World Botanicals for Cat's Claw...

Whole World Botanicals in the News

Two weeks ago, the Fox News Channel featured a story on the dangers of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and mentioned maca as a safe and effective alternative. They referenced our website, http://www.wholeworldbotanicals.com, as the place to go to find out more about maca! On Saturday, December 7th, CNN en Español ran a related story, which also sent folks to the Whole World Botanicals website to get more information about maca. Many thanks to those of you who spotted these stories and called us to let us know about our favorable publicity!

Viana's News: Whole World Botanicals Donates Maca to a Children's Communal Dining Room

I am so very pleased to let you know that your support of our company by purchasing our herbal products has allowed us to donate half a ton of dried maca roots to a communal kitchen in an impoverished community in the poorest Department (State) of Peru, Huancavalica. The maca roots will be cooked (after being softened overnight and boiled for several hours) in the oatmeal, which is served in the morning to the children (and some adults) who regularly eat in the communal kitchen.

University studies conducted in Peru have demonstrated the value of maca to malnourished children, including children with anemia. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in the early 1990's endorsed the use of maca as a particularly nutritious food which could be used to fight malnutrition. Malnutrition is rampant in this village, especially among children, teenagers, and young adults. People in the village have very little cash income because there is no road that connects directly to the village. You have to walk into the village and it is difficult to transport crops grown for cash in the area surrounding theh village to market.

There is now a non-profit organization working there to help the village in many ways. In addition to the communal dining room, which was set up, there are projects to teach people how to eat in a more healthy way. Many young people had to leave their village and farming to seek seasonal work, and became used to a diet based on white bread, white rice, white sugar, white pasta, and coffee. Their health declined significantly and they took back their bad habits to their village, spending what little money they earned on these expensive "staples" and shunning the vegetables and legumes, which were part of their traditional diet. Only the old people continued to eat this traditional diet and they were looked down on as "country," and not sophisticated.

As a result of this poor diet, the disease rate is rampant, and money needed for education and transportation goes for the "trendy" trash diet. So, many thanks for buying Certified Organic Royal Maca and our other Royal Peruvian Herbs(R). Through your purchases, you are making a contribution to some of the impoverished children of Peru. Here are some photos of this village and its children:
