Flaxseed Oil

Fact:

The oil of the flax plant is one of nature’s richest plant sources of the Omega 3 essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid (ALA) plus valuable linoleic fatty acid. Flax seed oil also contains lignans that contain powerful properties. These little seeds improve digestion, help stabilize blood glucose levels, fight tumor formation, and enhance cardiovascular health.

The Components of Flaxseed Oil

Protein: There’s about 25g of protein for every 100g of flax seeds. The protein in flax seeds is easily digested and contains a complete amino acid profile that your body needs.

Lignans: Lignans have anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties, and Flax seed has 75 to 800 percent more lignans than other vegetables and grains.

Essential Fatty Acids: Flax seed oil is a rich source of 3 essential fatty acids: alpha linolenic acid, omega 3 essential fatty acid, and omega 6 essential fatty acid.

Research has shown that majority of diets are deficient in Omega 3 essential fatty acids. This can lead to a variety of serious health problems including:

Coronary Heart Disease - Flaxseed oil helps reduce cholesterol levels, blood pressure, plaque formation, and helps strengthen the heart.

Arthritis - Studies have found that flaxseed oil can help reduce pain and inflammation causing less of a need for prescription drugs.

Cancer - Omega 3 oils (such as those in flaxseed oil) have been found to kill cancer cells without harming normal cells.

Skin Problems - Acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders have been shown to be related to Omega 3 deficiency.

Flaxseed Oil and Blood Pressure:

In a 12-week long study of 59 men with high blood pressure, those taking 8 grams of flaxseed oil per day saw significant reductions in blood pressure compared to men who took safflower oil.

Flaxseed Oil and The Prostate:

 A study of 25 men with prostate cancer found that a low-fat diet along with ground flaxseed reduced serum testosterone, slowed the growth rate of cancer cells, and increased the death rate of cancer cells.

A small study of 15 men found that a low-fat diet along with flaxseed lowered their blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and slowed the growth of benign prostate cells, suggesting that it might be useful in reducing risk of prostate cancer.

Flaxseed Oil and Dry Eyes:

 One study compared oral flaxseed oil capsules (3,000 mg daily or three capsules a day) with the antibiotic doxycycline (100 mg twice a day) for the treatment of dry eye in patients who had undergone LASIK eye surgery. Eighty-one patients (152 eyes) were treated with either 3,000 mg. daily of flaxseed oil or 100 mg twice daily of doxycycline for seven days before and after LASIK surgery. Study results indicated that flaxseed oil was just as effective as doxycycline in preventing dry eye after LASIK. An added benefit is that flaxseed oil has fewer side effects than doxycycline, making it a great alternative.

Flaxseed Oil and Digestion

Flax seeds contain 12% mucilage, which makes it a gentle, natural laxative. Flax seeds are perfect for individuals who have a sensitive stomach. Flax seed oil acts as a buffer for excess stomach acids and soothes ulcers and irritable bowel disorders. It also helps lubricate the digestive tract, absorbs toxins, and helps prevent toxic buildup in the bowl.

FACTS:
• The physical and emotional symptoms of menopause can disrupt your sleep, drain your energy, and trigger feelings of sadness and loss.
• The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain. The pain often correlates to the menstrual cycle, but a woman with endometriosis may also experience pain that does not correlate to her cycle. For many women, the pain of endometriosis is so severe and debilitating that it impacts their lives in significant ways.

TESTIMONY: (Chronic Constipation)

I have had real trouble eliminating, as sometimes I would not be able to go for 2 weeks at a time. I had a colonoscopy and the doctors said I was impacted, and gave me all kinds of medication to help my problem, but to no avail.

TESTIMONY: (Corn)

One of my toes is bent and always rubs on my other toe. Over the years a callus (or corn) had developed. It had gotten quite painful, with the last two years being so bad it hurt constantly. Whether I was walking, sleeping, resting, elevating my foot, or anything else, it always hurt! I started using a clay poultice at night, and after the very first day, the pain started to go away. After only one week, the pain is already almost completely gone! I can’t believe I suffered for so long when the answer was so simple - and cheap! Note: I applied the clay at night right before bed and left it on all night. In the morning after washing it off I applied the Comfort Cream. - D.O.

We get hundreds of calls from people who want to know if our European Green Clay has actually worked for someone else before they try it themselves. This is why we gathered just a few of the MANY testimonies we receive to share the benefits that other people have experienced. These are REAL testimonies from REAL people. And this is what they have to say:

TESTIMONY: (Psoriasis)

“A friend of mine, knowing that I suffered from psoriasis for years, referred me to Hope International for health counseling. It was suggested that I try the European clay both externally on the affected areas and internally as a cleanse. Although I was extremely skeptical, I had nothing else to lose. I had tried many  different things over the years, yet nothing seemed to truly work. Some products would help for a while, but it seemed that they would always lose effectiveness or I would develop side effects. That is why I was so amazed with the European Green Clay. First of all, on the areas where I applied the clay externally, the skin started to heal. The red area began to shrink, the skin began to soften, and the overall appearance of the skin looked healthier. But what I also noticed was that even on the areas where I didn’t apply the clay, the skin looked better. By taking the clay internally, my body was starting to heal from the inside out! For someone who has suffered this long with no relief, you have no idea what this means to me! Note: I also used the Swedish Bitters liquid internally and the Swedish Bitters Salve externally as I was advised that it helps to speed the healing process and soothes the skin. - A.E.

TESTIMONY: (Burns)

When patients with severe burns covered the burned area with a poultice of clay, each one of them noticed immediate relief, with some claiming the pain had completely subsided. In addition, patients having the entire body covered in burns, noticed dramatic results when using a clay bath. They reported a relief in pain and

said that healing resulted much faster and with less scarring. - D.O., H.M., & J.W.

TESTIMONY: (Wart)

I had tried everything including natural and conventional methods to get rid of a wart, yet nothing had worked. I decided to try the clay and after applying the clay poultice to the wart at night for only 4 days, the wart completely vanished! - B.R.

TESTIMONY: (Skin/Complexion)

I use the clay as a homemade face mask twice a week. It brightens my skin and clears my complexion leaving my skin extra soft and supple. Using the Swedish Bitters Salve afterward helps to naturally moisturize my skin and helps prevent breakouts. Ever since I started using the clay/bitters combo, I rarely get a breakout! - A.D.

E-Complex

Hope For Health’s Vitamin E-Complex is the highest quality Vitamin E supplement available and is 100% natural! Our E-Complex contains the entire family of compounds called tocopherols, which are composed of: d-alpha, d-gamma, d-delta, and d-beta-tocopherol.

A Powerful Antioxidant
Vitamin E is a major antioxidant that protects the body’s cells from free radicals. As we age, the damage done by free radicals accumulates in our bodies causing cell damage. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E neutralizes the damaging effects of the free radicals and limits their production.

Heart Disease
Numerous studies have looked at the role and benefits of E-Complex supplements in heart disease. Some studies, such as the Nurse Study in 1993 involving 90,000 nurses, associated E-Complex supplementation to an astonishing 30 - 40% lower rate of coronary heart disease! One of the most compelling studies of the benefits of Vitamin E is the Women’s Health Study, in which 40,000 healthy women, 45 and older, took 600 IU of Vitamin E supplements or a placebo every other day for 10 years. Women taking the supplements had 24% fewer deaths from heart disease. Vitamin E ’s protective effect appeared even stronger in women 65 and older. Those taking the vitamin experienced a 26% reduction in cardiovascular events and a 49% reduction in cardiovascular deaths!

Beautiful Skin
Vitamin E taken orally plays a role in the anti-aging of skin. It helps skin look younger by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, free radicals are believed to be a part of the cause of skin aging and therefore the antioxidant activity of Vitamin E is extremely valuable for slowing down the aging process.

Menopause
E-Complex has proven extremely effective in reducing vaginal dryness and combating hot flashes. Because of this, E-Complex is being taken by many women as a safe alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (side effects of HRT include: an increased risk of multiple types of cancer, increased risk of blood clots, increased risk of gallbladder disease, increased risk of heart attack or stroke, and more). Why risk it? Try E-Complex, the safe alternative.

PMS
Studies show that Vitamin E is useful in treating premenstrual syndrome and fibrocystic breasts. Alzheimer’s Disease A major study published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated 1,200 IU - 2,000 IU
of E-Complex per day is safe and slowed the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Cancer Prevention and Treatment
• E-Complex helps block the formation of nitrosamines, which are carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) formed in the stomach when you eat foods that contain nitrites.
• E-Complex vitamins may also protect you against the development of cancers by enhancing immune function.
• Some evidence links higher intake of Vitamin E with a decreased incidence of prostate cancer and breast cancer.
• The Iowa Women’s Health Study provides evidence that an increased dietary intake of Vitamin E may decrease the risk of colon cancer, especially in women under 65.

IMPORTANT
NOTE: While 400 IU or more of supplemental Vitamin E a day has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks in healthy people, those with pre-existing coronary artery disease often take 800 to 1600 IU a day based on the pioneering work of the Shute brothers in the mid 1940s, and other studies that have continued to  prove the benefits of high doses of Vitamin E.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: If you are taking anti-clotting medication, consult with your doctor before taking Vitamin E.

Blush

Our Blush is made of 100% pure and natural Damiana herb. It is a highly-potent herbal supplement that helps to combat a plethora of female problems. First discovered and used as an aphrodisiac, Damiana has since been proven to be beneficial for many feminine health issues.


Blush may help:
• Aid in weight loss
• Fight menstrual or menopausal disorders
• Increase energy & stamina
• Enhance sexual stimulation & fight sexual disorders
• Improve mood and fight depression
• Fight digestive problems including heartburn & constipation
• Prevent or alleviate headaches (including migraines)

Discover some of the benefits of the 100% pure Damiana in Blush:

Blush with Damiana for Weight Loss
Damiana has an additional promising benefit: it can aid weight loss! Research conducted at the Department of Ultrasound, Medical Centre, Charlottenlund in Denmark found that the plant slows down the emptying of food from the stomach. This means you feel full even after eating a small meal, which prevents over-eating and promotes good digestion (Andersen T, Fogh J. J Hum Nutr Diet. 2001 Jun;14(3):243-50). The extract also stimulates blood circulation in the body and can cause an increase in energy level that aids in weight loss.

Blush with Damiana for Depression & Anxiety
Damiana extract is thought to calm the nervous system and act as an antidepressant. This helps to soothe nervousness, anxiety, and mild depression. Damiana encourages an overall feeling of well being and is used for treating mood disorders. It helps level hormonal responses and boost mood.

Blush with Damiana for Menopause 
This medicinal herb has hormonal balancing properties. It has been shown to help with the hormonal  imbalances common with menopause in women. However, scientists have reassuringly confirmed that Damiana does not have any effect on the female hormone estrogen. This means that there is no risk attached to its use that it might cause estrogen-related cancers like breast cancer or other side effects typically associated with hormonal therapy. (Women’s Health (Larchmt) 2004 May;13(4):427-30).

SEXUAL FUNCTION
This herb has traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac. Modern research supports this use as well. It has been shown to increase both the sperm count in males and the strength of eggs in females, help with erectile dysfunction and inability to achieve orgasm. While it has been shown to help increase blood flow and stimulation in the sexual organs, it also increases energy levels which also helps to restore libido and desire.

Damiana’s ability to improve female sexual health has been thoroughly examined. In one study, scientists from the School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, studied 77 women over the age of 21 who wanted to improve their sexual function. 34 of these women took a preparation containing Damiana (which improves blood circulation to the sexual organs), and 43 received a placebo (sugar pill) each day. After only four weeks, over 73 percent of the women who took the Damiana preparation reported an overall improvement in their sex lives, compared with only 37.2 percent of those in the placebo group. Improvements were experienced in several areas including: sexual desire, reduction of vaginal dryness, frequency of sexual intercourse and orgasm, and increased sensation. (Ito TY, Trant AS, Sex Marital Ther. 2001 Oct-Dec; 27(5):541-9)
