HERBAL ALERT NEWSLETTER!!!

Dear Friends of Herbs—and Viewers of Good Morning America on ABC:

Did you happen to tune in Tuesday morning, December 9th, to “Good Morning America” and see Drs. Jennifer Berman, M.D. (urologist) and psychologist and sex expert Laura Berman Ph.D. slam herbal product companies which send out spam to millions of Americans claiming to be the herbal equivalent of Viagra®?

Did you see Whole World Botanicals’ Certified Organic Royal Maca® Whole Root Extract Capsules prominently displayed along with Yohimbe and some other herbal aphrodisiacs?

This 4 minute segment on the ABC Network is part of the constant campaign against herbal products in which all companies and products are lumped together with very negative publicity. In this case, shame on ABC and in particular the two Drs. Berman for a very sloppy, inaccurate reporting job.

First of all, Whole World Botanicals has NEVER sent out SPAM advertisements over the Internet-- nor will it ever.

Nor has Whole World Botanicals® ever claimed that Royal Maca® is an aphrodisiac which works like Viagra®. The maca root is an adaptogenic herb which helps balance the entire endocrine system, in women as well as in men. Specialists in men’s health know that the proper functioning of the adrenal glands as well as the testes are involved in sexual health. Students of Chinese herbology know the importance of the adrenal glands, which lie on top of the kidneys, since they are connected to the production of all energy, including sexual energy. Our Royal Maca for Men product also supports prostate health and helps prevent a man's testosterone from converting to estrogen.

Royal Maca® supports the production of healthy hormone levels by these glands. When a man has a healthy hormone balance, his libido and erectile function is also likely to be optimal. That is very different from saying that maca is an aphrodisiac!

 

 

How Men Can Best Use and Take a Break from Royal Maca®

1. If men choose to take Royal Maca® every day, they can take one to two capsules or 1/6 to 1/3 tsp. daily. It may take up to three weeks to feel the full effect. If this dosage doesn't produce any obvious positive effects after three weeks, they can increase their dosage by just one more capsule--or another 1/6 tsp. per week until an adequate dosage is established. This dosage can be maintained for at least three months. At that point, the dosage can be cut back to six days a week instead of seven, to see if that works well.

2.Men can take Royal Maca® two or three times a week instead of every day, if they wish. If they choose to take it this way, they will probably want to take a higher amount--4 to 6 caps or 3/4 - 1 tsp. (or more) each time. There is no "maximum" dosage. You have to use what's right for you.

3.Generally speaking, unless there is some special health issue, we suggest a Royal Maca® vacation for a week at a time, about every three or four months. This will keep your body's response strong to this wonderful herbal product.

HEALTH ACTION EMERGENCY ALERT

Thanks to all of you who have already called your senators to ask them to vote against S.722 the senate bill. For the rest of you here's another chance to make a difference by helping to protect your health freedom.

In September, 2002 issue of the Whole World of Herbs Newsletter about the worldwide threat to the free sale of therapeutic herbs which was launched by the World Health Organization which supports the "harmonization"of "traditional medicine"[therapeutic herbs] by insisting that they be tested for safety and efficacy and licensed as pharmaceutical drugs. Of course, meanwhile, they favor removing from the market all those herbs that have not been put through these extremely costly clinical trials. Once you know that the major financial support of WHO is no longer the member nations of the United Nations but since 1998 has been the pharmaceutical companies, these politics being promoted by the WHO are no longer a surprise.

But now, there is an immediate threat to your freedom of health choice posed by a Senate bill S.722 co-sponsored by U.S. Senators Richard Durbin of Illinois, Diane Feinstein from California and Senators Charles Shumer and Senator Hillary Clinton from New York, . I feel quite sure that these folks are not herb lovers and do not depend on these marvelous gifts of nature to maintain or improve their own health. Below is an explanation of what this bill contains and the threat it poses to health freedom inside the U.S. There is an alternate bill S.722 which offers positive proposals for improving consumer information and protection through providing the funds for the FDA to enforce the provisions of the DSHEA Act of 1992.

WILL YOU PLEASE BECOME A HEALTH ACTIVIST FOR TEN MINUTES AND MAKE TWO PHONE CALLS TO YOUR U.S. SENATORS? Please Urge Them to Vote "NO" ON S.722. Click here to read more details about this bill and its long term consequences if it passes.

Just type in the name of your Senator in the Google search engine to find out the telephone numbers of your Senators. ONLY A MASSIVE OUTPOURING OF PHONE CALLS, what Senator Barbara Boxer of California in another context called "A HUE AND A CRY FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" can stop this bill. The pharmaceutical company interests are very very strong in the U.S. government right now. But the will of the people is stronger--if you ACT!

 

Viana's News:

Like all of us I am concerned by the great amount of strife, pain and suffering in the world. But I can only think, in the words of Clarissa Estes Pinkola, “We were made for these times.”
(We Were Made For These Times. Stand Up And Show Your Soul! by Clarissia Pinkola Estes, PhD)

WOMEN IN THE HIGHLANDS

I wish you deep peace in your heart in this holiday season—a Joyous Christmas, Happy Chanukka, Happy Kwanza, and a Wonderful Winter Solstice!


I think Barry’s Blessings says it beautifully in quoting an old Celtic Prayer in a recent Blessings message,* -- and the first four lines are universal—for all of us whatever our spiritual or personal path.

Deep peace of the running waves to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the smiling stars to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you,
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.
Deep Peace.


*(to get on the Blessings e mail list - bblust@twcny.rr.com ).

Wishing you peace and good health con todo mi corazon,

--Viana
