Dr. Frank Painter, Chiropractor, shares …
"I believe urologists may now consider saw palmetto a viable, natural alternative treatment for many men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)." WHY? At the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in Dallas, Texas, May 1999, an American double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of saw palmetto published in the March peer-reviewed journal, Urology, was a feature presentation. The randomized study showed reduction in BPH symptoms such as difficult urination, frequent urge to urinate, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. The study showed a significant reduction in prostate swelling, particularly on the epithelial tissue in the inner part of the prostate.
Dr. Painter recommends Shaklee's Saw Palmetto Complex to his male patients because of quality control assurance and guaranteed results. Men should expect to notice results in 4 to 8 weeks. (Shaklee Saw Palmetto Complex does NOT contain hexane, a common toxic chemical solvent used by many herbal companies to extract saw palmetto oil from the saw palmetto berry.)
Testimony ( thanks to barb hill ) :
I just wanted to let you hear of the results of the blood tests on my husband. Six months ago his PSA count was 4.7 and he was told to come back and have it checked in four months. He went back, but six months later and the test came back 2.3. I have been giving him Saw Palmetto Complex.
When I told the Dr. this, he said there had been not research done on the and it was probably working like a placebo. I told him that was impossible because I had been giving it to my husband without his even knowing. I also told him I did not care if there was no research done or anything else, but I could see the result in the tests.
He will not have to go back to the Dr. for a year for another test. Needless to say, my husband will continue taking Saw Palmetto Complex from Shaklee!

10 Ways to Sweeten Without Sugar
by Ysanne Spevack
Sugar is bad for you. Eating and drinking sugary foods causes tooth decay, weakens your immune system, destabilises blood sugar levels and causes fungal infections like candida.
If you want to put on weight, eat complex carbohydrates like brown rice, wholemeal pasta or potatoes. Sugar raises your blood sugar quickly, leading to the inevitable 'sugar-high' followed by a crash. So what are the alternatives?
1. Stevia is a herb that is 300 times sweeter than sugar, with negligible calories. It's also believed to reduce tooth decay and gum disease.
2. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) granules are mildly sweet and low in calories. FOS stimulates bifido bacteria in the gut, which fights gastro-intestinal infections and food poisoning.
3. Barley syrup is as sweet as sugar with the same amount of calories, but raises blood sugar more gently. It also contains b vitamins and minerals.
4. Maple syrup is delicious and sweet, with just over half the calories of sugar. It contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals, and is made from the sap of maple trees over forty years old.
5. Honey has less calories than sugar, but is almost as sweet. It is often antibiotic, especially manuka honey which is made with pollen from the tea tree.
6. Blackstrap molasses is a by-product of sugar refining. It's very high in iron and has less calories than sugar. However, it's sweetness is due to the same molecules as sugar.
7. Fruit concentrates are lower in calories than sugar and raise the blood sugar more gently. You can get fruit concentrates as liquids or spreads, often organically grown.
8. Amazake is very low in calories and is made by fermenting rice, millet or quinoa. It's a traditional food from Japan, and is high in B vitamins.
9. Fructose is marketed as a natural alternative to sugar, but is actually manufactured from industrial glucose. It has the same amount of calories as sugar, but does raise blood sugar very slowly.
10. Glucose has more calories than sugar and is the quickest way to raise your blood sugar level. It is for this reason that it is so unhealthy.
