Cure For The Common Cold Is Discovered. Colds, Fevers, Flu, Cough and Bronchial Infections Can Be Cured Or Even Prevented With These New Discoveries
SACRAMENTO, CA April 23, 2004 -? Most doctors will tell you that there is no cure for the common cold and that no matter what your course of action you will probably have cold symptoms for at least 10 days or longer. Doctors will cite that there is no such thing as a common cold, since viruses mutate so quickly and are therefore usually always different. However, recent clinical research and numerous double blind studies seem to indicate quite a different story regarding the ability of certain substances to profoundly stop colds and/or symptoms in very short periods of time. Some of these substances appear to work within 24 hours or less.
In other words, there are several different substances that have been shown clinically to significantly end cold symptoms and/or cure colds. A recent double-blind study in England found that a single natural substance could cut the incidence of colds to one third each year, so if you usually have three colds a year, you will have only one while taking this substance. This same substance greatly shortened the recovery time for most colds. Another study found that yet another substance killed virtually all cold-causing viruses on contact and could stop cold symptoms of certain colds in 24 hours or less. Another herbal formula developed and used by the famous herbalist Dr. Edward Shook was found to have been more than 90 percent effective by Dr. shook in instilling quick recovery from colds and fevers. A mechanical device was also found to effectively help to prevent colds and their duration. Full report is available at http://www.rockandrollusa.com/coldcure.htm
Scott West MBA MS has written a book (The Absolute Cure For The Common Cold) detailing all of these effective common-cold remedies with sources, research and references, so anyone can now access this revolutionary information. Imagine how effectively someone could combat colds by using one or more of the multiple remedies mentioned in ?The Absolute Cure For The Common Cold.? West earned a masters degree in health and did doctoral work in this area. For more information on this ground-breaking research go to:

Nature’s Treasure Noni Juice will soon be Available in The Middle East and India
February 21, 2004–Tree of Health, Australia already doing well in Pakistan through its Exclusive Distributor Pharma Business International, now plans to expand and introduce its products under the Asian / Middle East brand name “Nature’s Treasure Noni” in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, Oman, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and India. Products include 100% Pure Noni Juice, Noni Capsules and Noni Tea. Other Noni related products will be added from time to time.
For over 2000 years, Pacific Islanders have used the juice of the Noni fruit to improve their health in a multitude of ways. Western researchers have begun to confirm this ancient wisdom, and now you too can share in the benefits as well.
At Tree of Health, we have commissioned several studies with the Centre of Phytochemistry at Southern Cross University (Lismore, NSW). Our aim is to be at the forefront of providing credible research to back the anecdotal evidence of Noni across a wide array of health conditions.
The traditional method to produce pure Noni juice starts with the Noni fruit being harvested when it is beginning to ripen. The fruit is allowed to become fully soft and ripe. At this point, the juice starts to seeps out of the fruit. The fruit is ‘aged’ in large food containers for up to 8 weeks. As is generally true, valid reasoning stands behind traditional methods, and in this case, the aging process allows the active polysaccharide compounds to be further synthesised and released into solution. In addition, a long aging process allows the transformation of sugars into organic acids, producing a stable, low pH product, which does not undergo fermentation or spoilage. The longer the fruit is aged the darker the juice becomes, and the more potent it becomes. At the same time, the taste becomes mellower. Some people refer to this type of pure juice as ?fermented? juice. This is not technically correct, as this process does not involve the addition of yeast or the production of carbon dioxide gases. Ageing for the full 8 weeks provides optimum potency and stability. The juice does not require any preservatives or additives. Juice aged for less than 8 weeks is lighter in colour, has a ’sharper’ taste and has a shorter shelf life. Some brands on the market mix the pure Noni Juice with sweeter juices or flavour concentrates. Unless the percentage of sweeter juices added is shown on the label, as with all blended Noni Juices you can never be sure exactly how much Noni you are getting.
The method to produce a ‘non-aged’ Noni juice involves the mature noni fruit being pressed and the resulting juice becomes the finished product. The colour varies from white to light amber. This type of juice will not keep for any length of time, and requires refrigeration or the addition of food acids, preserving agents or stabilisers to maintain product stability.
A recently developed commercial processing method used involves reconstituting dried Noni fruit powder (either freeze-dried or sun-dried) into a juice with the addition of water, sweet juices, flavour concentrates, preserving agents, stabilisers etc.
Another recently developed commercial method involves pulping the mature fruit, which is then freeze-dried (the freeze drying process extracts the water), and it is then shipped to California where it is reconstituted to a juice with the addition of water, sweeter juices, flavours etc.
At Tree of Health we believe in the traditional method of processing Noni as it provides the most potent and stable form of Noni juice without any unnecessary processing, reconstituting or blending with other ingredients. Tree of Health Noni Juice is 100% pure Noni juice, so you know exactly how much Noni you are getting. For those who find the taste too strong, you are in control of what other juices you add and how much. The pure juice has a distinctive smell and taste, but really isn’t that bad. Many people are now taking the juice straight with no problems. Some people even like the taste of the pure juice!!
Pasteurization
There is no evidence to suggest that pasteurization of Noni juice destroys the active ingredients of the juice. In fact, pasteurization of the juice at the point of bottling is essential to reduce the high bacterial levels that can exist in the raw juice. The final processing of Tree of Health Noni juice is carried out in Sydney, in a certified facility (ISO9002, plus TGA licensed for packing and labeling of health products).

“We offer a holistic health clinic that views each patient as a unique individual capable of taking an active role in their own healing process,” says Dr. Friedman, who was recently quoted in an article by Reuters about the now banned herb ephedra. “No two patients with a diagnosis of cancer, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, or diabetes are treated alike. Instead, we survey the patient’s physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs to determine the proper treatment plan for that individual. “
Patients are offered a variety of services including acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, and/or medical qigong therapy, and are encouraged to participate in self-healing classes such as meditation or qigong.

No commentsWebsite challenges FDA ban on herbal remedies
January 26 2004–In response to the FDA’s attempt to conduct the first-ever ban of a herbal dietary supplement, ephedra, public outcry is being heard loud and clear on the forum page of ephedra.com.
Since the FDA’s announcement of the intended ban of all dietary supplements containing the herb ephedra, a flood comments supporting the continued marketing of ephedra have been pouring into the website. Members of the ephedra.com forum are presenting mounds of information both contesting the alleged danger of ephedra, discrediting numerous studies, including those contracted for the FDA by the Rand Corporation, and providing information and research that clearly support ephedra, a herb that has been used for nearly 5000 years in China, as a safe product.
The FDA is being verbally pounded by ephedra.com forum members against the FDA for supporting unfair bias against dietary supplements in collaboration with the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a body of experts whose members are substantially comprised of pharmaceutical company executives. Other allegations being made on the website include the FDA’s use of ephedra’s unfair allotment of bad press with the eventual intent to regulate vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbal and various other nutritional supplements with the eventual intent to institute a system like the one in the UK, where many supplements have been banned or reduced to a point that many consumers feel that they are no longer effective. These public opinions only add to the sting of criticism by Chinese medical practitioners, who are ridiculing American’s for our ignorance of the safe use of herbal products and our public embrace of the hype surrounding ephedra.
“I can’t imagine how stupid the Americans must be,” said Chinese Herbal Safety Committee spokesperson Zhou Li Quing. “We’ve had this
stuff for like 5000 years. The Americans get it for a few decades and screw it all up. Morons.”
Members of the website forum at ephedra.com, contend that they have used the herb safely and with few, if any, side effects. Others are hoping to find a replacement for the ephedra containing supplements in the hope of fighting obesity and other conditions such as asthma.
Whether supported by the public or not, the FDA ban on ephedra containing herb products, excluding Chinese traditional herbal remedies and herbal teas, is due to begin in March, if the action passes congressional review.
Anyone interested in voicing their opinion on the ephedra ban is encouraged to join the forum and share their thoughts at ephedra.com.
