QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2012
NATURE FRESH OLIVE LEAF TABLETS ARE 100%
Q ) Have purhased your Olive Leaf Tablets but when reading other website contents should be given in what quantity oleuropein product contains Yours only says 500mg – of what ? Would be interested to get more info pse. Tku
A ) We do not declare oleuropin levels. It is the whole leaf that produces the synergy. This is backed up by over 10 years of research and experience. These tablets have been used clinically for high blood pressure, candidiasis and malaria, for example. Doses have been averaged around 2-4 a day.
So, I am sorry to say it is impossible to specify what does what at whatever levels! I hope you appreciate and understand this about true natural medicine. Lots of love, Sue Visser
Q ) What percentage of oleuropein do your tablets contain?
A ) We really cannot make exact claims as to any percentage of a component contained within a leaf that varies from season to season. This would mean having to test each batch and print specific labels. I hope you understand.
We don’t add or extract anything from the 7 olive leaves used to make each tablet. Although it was the trend to be fixated about oleuropein ond oleacin it has now been confirmed by recent studies that as a remedy, the total olive leaf is best to use.
All I can say is that most doctors who use our tablets find it helps to treat candidiasis, high blood pressure and helps to ward off most cases of colds and flu. Recommended doses are usually 2 tablets, once or twice a day.
I have attached some additional information for you and hope you find it helpful.

Make your Nature Fresh containers down-cyclable?
Q) Hi there, I love that your products are ethical and natural, and I’d love to keep using them. However, I’m concerned not only about the health risks of plastic packaging, but the environmental cost of their production and disposal. As I move towards a Waste Free lifestyle, this means only purchasing products that come in packaging which is healthy and reusable – not just “recyclable” (i.e. down-cyclable), and encouraging extended producer responsibility. Have you considered moving away from plastic, or offering a return/reuse scheme? Thank you for the work you do in offering South African consumers better choices.
A) – after my own heart! It is difficult to find biodegradable containers. What would you suggest for our body washes and toothpaste, for instance? We go out of our way to find non-toxic plastic containers at a low cost as it is. People do use our Calcium complex jars to keep other items in, once they are empty. The pill jars are used by art teachers for paint, etc. Our plastic is a thermoplastic, so it is easier to melt down to make garbage bags, etc.

KIDNEY STONES – FROM SPINACH?
Q ) Hi Sue,
My husband passed kidney stones and then had a terrible Kidney infection which led to taking
Antibiotics. My question to you is that I juice every morning and juice spinach as well as other
Veggies and some fruit. Could the spinach have caused the kidney stones?
What actually causes kidney stones? I have looked up on google but there doesn’t seem to be
any conclusive proof of what causes them. Would it be wise to juice spinach again? I use baby
spinach, a handful at a time with other veggies. What suggestions do you have to avoid them
in the future.
I have your book and follow the O Secretor blood group eating plan. It works for me, but my
Husband doesn’t follow blood group eating at all. At the moment I have put him on a parasite
Cleanse.
Hoping you could shed some light on this for me.
Thanking you for a wonderful site of very interesting info.
A ) Here is an extract from the notes I have written about kidney problems.
“Oxalic acid occurs naturally in foods like spinach, rhubarb and sorrel. Providing your intake of calcium and magnesium is adequate, they should not cause calcium oxalate stones. Foods rich in phosphorus are more of a problem: a hamburger and a Coke, for instance as well as most junk foods rich in sugar, white flour and fried in oil will release a lot of phosphoric acid into the system. It is filtered out into the blood, where it reaches the kidneys. Calcium is removed from the skeleton to neutralize the acid. This attaches to the acid and forms the stones.”
To be on the safe side, leave out the spinach, in case they were the oxalate variety. We all need enough magnesium and vitamin B6 to prevent kidney stones! I love my juicing – all the scraps are my medicine and I include fresh dandelion leaves. Parsley and celery are excellent to include. There are juice and probiotic recipes too. www.naturefresh.co.za
Response: )Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I will cut back on the spinach in my juicing and include more parsley and celery and dandelion in juicing and make sure my
Husband takes Nature fresh calcium complex at night. The Renotone tablets from Tibbs also sounds
A good option as well as Vitamin B6. We are both taking cranberry tablets to prevent infections.
Thank-you once again for all your helpful info and web site.
Kind Regards,
BURNING VAGINA TREATMENT
Q ) It’s about two years I have been to different doctors, my vagina burns during and after sex. Am married with two kids. No doctor is able to help me. The last doctor gave me vagiferm tablets which am afraid to use. Am 28 years of age, please help me
A ) From my experience with working on this problem for a gynaecologist, the best treatments are:
1 Take vitamin B complex tablets. It is often a deficiency of these vitamins that causes vaginal burning.
2 Avoid all wheat – especially all the bread and pasta. It often is the cause of the burning – a wheat or gluten intolerance promotes inflammation.
3 Use Nature Fresh fragrance free Personal Lubricant before you have sex. It is water based and non-irritating.
4 Only bath, wash or shower with Nature Fresh Rooibos Vaginal cleanser. It can be used instead of normal soap and shampoo and keeps the area acidic, to stop infection, burning and irritation. It also contains probiotics to control yeast infections.
Our products are available at Dis-Chem.
Regards, Sue Visser
PS: Here is a quote from the following website on Vagifem tablets. At 28 years of age, their use is questionable, as you said!

BLOOD TYPE AB FOOD QUERIES
Q) Hello. I have some questions regarding the AB diet. Can I eat kingklip, seabass, cape witing, use wheat grass drinks on this AB diet? What about TOFU, chilli and what do you recoment on my bread instead of butter?? Thank you! Kind regards,
A ) According to my research as presented in my book: Healthy Happy Eating, one needs to first consider the secretor status as there are more variants. I have attached more info on that for you.
But he good news in that soya products suit both AB secretors and non secretors. Chillies are better for secretors. Butter according to most of the guides suit all blood types. We soften ours and mix 1/3 olive oil with it. It makes a good spread but keep it in the fridge. The best fish lists are from www.dadamo.com Sorry, I am a vegetarian and have lost touch with the “fleshy side”.
Wheat grass is individual. It does not contain wheat grain lectins. Wheat suits AB generally, but not always the non-secretor variant who may struggle with wholewheat and wheat germ. Her is an interesting link about wheat grass juice. You can subscribe to the link from our homepage for free. www.naturefresh.co.za
Happy Eating! Regards, Sue Visser
MINERALS, SALT, ANAEMIA TEETH – GOOD INTERACTIVE WORK!
Q )Thanks for all your wonderful articles – you are doing great work.
I emailed you about 3 years ago regarding Fe deficient anaemia, which has improved a lot but still not there yet!! Ferritin now on lowest limit = 20. Regarding your advice I am still gluten-free. Seems I have heavy metal over-load from working as an Analytical Chemist for 20 yrs (21 yrs ago) in the research department for Mercury and other toxic metals.
I read your article on Salt – agree – once we start messing with minerals in the body – things can go haywire, so I am wondering what is the optimal intake per day of sodium, calcium and Mg?? I am 53yrs old (menopaused) , blood A+
A ) Here is a small data base for you on detox protocols. Most important is the heavy metal. I have been off all gluten for a number of years and now can breathe easily when running long distances at 58! Something I could not do as an anaemic, bread eating, tired, toxic individual 20 years ago. But it was a gluten/heavy metal problem. Sounds similar!
People usually take 1 t of our Calmag powder at bedtime. Tissue salts are also helpful. Salt? As long as it is natural – relax and enjoy. I would appreciate your comments, too. www.naturefresh.co.za
Q2 ) Just read your wonderful article on Osteoporosis – thanks!!! Just wondering have you done any research on “teeth remineralisation” – I am sure your Ca Mg powder will do wonders for the teeth. There is also a problem called ‘bone resorption’ – which is when the bone around the base of the tooth starts “eating” into the root of the tooth!! I have it happening in my front tooth – doom and gloom of the dentist says prognosis is to wait and let the tooth break off then replace the tooth with a screw in one!! Bit drastic – there must be something in the “natural” remedies line that can help!! I also have inflamed gums and pain on eating/drinking anything hot.
Please send me links if you have anything on teeth and tooth-health!!
A2 ) Yes, xylitol hits the jackpot!
You can also take it with the calmag and cocoa – see our website
We both rescued weak patches with these techniques. Best is to get some diatomaceous earth from a health shop. Mix it 1:1 with xylitol and suck ½ teaspoon at a time around your mouth, especially after brushing with our Aloe toothpaste (for gum problems). I used to sleep with the DE and xylitol. It took a few weeks and the weak little “shelf” above my molar seems OK – no longer sensitive to anything sweet. During the day – chew any gum made with xylitol and top up with more xylitol as you chew (the cud – ha ha)
FANTASTIC FEEDBACK – DRY SCALP (SEBORRIC EXCEMA) CURED BY PROBIOTIC-15.
Hi Sue, I trust you are well. Just wanted to give you feedback. I followed your advice and although my scalp felt better, I wasn’t sure.
Yesterday at the babershop my barber mentioned that my scalp wasn’t dry and flakey. I cut my hair at the same barber to avoid the awkard explaination of my condition. His comment felt good. I’ve spent over R3000 on consultations and perscription drugs, with no result. You gave me free and safe advice that has changed my life. I used to avoid places with flourescent lights because my dandruff would light up like a Christmas tree lol. Thanks again for your advice. Regards,
Problem was: “my extremely dry scalp. I was diagnosed by a Dermatologist as suffering from Seborric Excema. According to him this is a lifelong conditon that I can merely manage, but not cure. He prescribed Sylanar and Advantan.”
LIVER AND GALLBLADDER FLUSH IN BED?
Q ) I understand the steps, but I am confused about the AT Bedtime (the Gallstones begin to rumble out) this rumble will it hold until you make it to the loo, or are they actually suggesting this happens in bed? Thank you
A ) The stones leave the gallbladder. Then they work through the intestines, along with your normal food. All the debris collects in the colon and will exit via a normal bowel movement – in the toilet.
In terms of the amount of Epsom salts taken and the time you experience bowel movements, it is very individual. Some people are sensitive, and the bowel is stimulated after a few hours on 2 teaspoons. Others make need more Epsom salts and only have the massive movement by lunchtime, after taking the olive oil and lemon or grapefruit juice at bedtime. There is no written formula. All I know is that hundreds of people get rid of gallstones, even up to 3cm long without pain or surgery.
Remember that 90% of gall stone complications are due to people eating wheat, who are intolerant to it. Blood type A secretor, and some of the AB group are well suited to wheat, but none of the other blood types, so the gallstones return. This is why it is recommended to do the flush twice a year.
Q 2 ) This is Fabulous, was a bit concerned about the whole process, I am a very constipated person in general, so do you think I need to up the Epsom salts? Thank you
A2) You will love this! An extract from the Common Ailments file I am attaching. Please share it with friends and help to set them free! More help is at www.naturefresh.co.za where they can type in key words into the search box.
CONSTIPATION: the need for laxatives almost daily.
We spend a lot of money to get food into ourselves and some of us spend even more to get it all out again. There is no greater pleasure than having a good daily motion. The sensation leaves you exuberant for hours. Conversely, there is no worse frustration than not being able to have your regular daily poo session. We are told to drink more water and eat more fibre. When this fails, laxatives come to the rescue. A quick fix can do no harm but the natural muscular contraction and relaxation of the bowel, known as peristalsis can be horribly if not permanently disrupted by the constant use of laxatives and purgatives, especially large doses of aloe bitters every day.
Useful ways to deal with occasional constipation (no bowel movement for 2 days)
Grind up a tablespoon of flax seeds with water or fruit juice. Drink a dose in the morning and also at bedtime if severe.
Taking sufficient magnesium also eases up the bowels. Try 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts in ¼ cup hot water, followed by a drink of water.
Vitamin C, in doses of over 1gram, in juice or water 2 or 3x daily, also helps some people to work the bowels. We need more vitamin C when we are under stress and humans do not produce it – thus we need enough every day to maintain a healthy bowel function. Reduce the dose if the bowels become too loose.
Blackstrap molasses: 1 tablespoon in a cup of warm water, 2 -3 x the first day, then take1 dose daily.
Add millet to your diet: cook rice with: 2 parts rice, 1 part dehusked millet granules. Millet flour can also be added to items like scones, muffins or flapjacks (crumpets) Ground up flax seeds can also be added to bakes.
All of us need to drink at least 4 – 6 classes of pure water a day. You can add a few grains of salt or a teaspoon of cream of tartar to some of the drinks, or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
Try to avoid a huge breakfast before you have had your morning elimination. It is best to only eat fruit and drink herb tea until this has been done. Remember that tea and coffee have a dehydrating, and hence constipating effect.
CAUSE 1 Food intolerance or nutrient deficiencies may result in obstinately spastic colons that won’t give or take. Check out the BLOOD TYPES in body types and the ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET in the research papers.
CAUSE 2 An extinct gall bladder. Vegetarians and people with a fat phobia do not exercise their gall bladders, despite the fact they were each born with one. The purpose of bile is to break down fats and churn around with fibre to break up cholesterol or triglyceride deposits. Bile is stored in the gall bladder and the fats and protein from a batch of recently swallowed food stimulates its’ release. Chronic constipation results from calcium bonding to untreated fats or fibres and forming hard soapy rocks that clump around the colon. Gallstones form in disused gall bladders and are made of calcium oxalate. They are quite pretty, but have to be removed. The colon formations are another story and people take great pride in describing them once they have been extracted. Such atrocities are unheard of in societies who eat sufficient meat and vegetables and plenty of good natural fibre. They excrete sufficiently and efficiently and nobody makes a living out of selling laxatives or rinsing out colons.
CAUSE 3 Although low blood sugar is not directly to blame for a sluggish bowel, people who eat foods rich in white flour and sugar on a constant basis not only have low blood sugar but are usually constipated for many days at a time. Obviously whole grain foods and plenty of natural fruit and vegetables will make a big difference. It is said that bran is unsuitable to consume in large quantities, owing to the way the phytic acid it contains robs the body of calcium.
Refer to: TEN THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CALCIUM in the research papers.
CAUSE 4 Medications such as codine will cause constipation. Some antibiotics are notorious bowel blockers and sinus or cold remedies that stop your nose from running will also bung you up horribly. A dehydrated colon is no joke, so drink plenty of fresh, clean water and try to avoid coke, tea and coffee as they dehydrate you.. Minerals that help osmotically are magnesium in any form and glauber’s salt ( sodium sulphate).
Response – yay!) Hi Sue, this is fabulous, will definitely try this, as I am one of those people who needs to take a laxative, I can be constipated for weeks on end.
HEAVY METAL DETOX FOR O2
Q ) Dear Sue and Jim Please tell me what I (O2) could use instead of apple in my heavy metal detox smoothie. Is quinoa good for O2? lots of love
A ) For this purpose, you can use the green, sour Granny smith apples. With o2, it is more about eating too many sweet apples at one time. Quinces are also very rich in pectin, that binds and traps the toxins. Add the peels and pips to juice. The fruit can be stewed with a little sweetener like stevia or xylitol. Quinoa suits all blood types. You can mix it 1 part to 2 with rice to cook it. High protein (complete) I love it!
STOMACH ULCERS, SINUSITIS, GLUTEN, STRESS
Q ) Dear Sue, thank you for the fantastic informative website, it is beyond helpful. Thank you also for your generosity in answering questions from your visitors. I would like to ask you a question relating to my husband’s health. Since December, he has been ill. After lots of stress, costs and exams, we have ruled out the heart, lungs and brain. However, he still has his original symptons which are predominantly acute bouts of dizziness, tinitus and sudden distension of the stomach. With all the stress, he now has an ulcer. He also has chronic sinnutis. Recently, he started your parasitic treatment and he is planning to do the liver cleanse shortly. Now We are thinking he may have a gluten reaction, so he is going to experiment with the gluten free diet for a few weeks. My question is, bearing in mind the limited information provided, do you think this seems a long the right lines and in your experience is there something else we could be looking out for? Thank you very much indeed for your time and attentions. With Best Regards,
A ) It is good to be appreciated! I spend a lot of time at this desk and a THANK YOU is a treat.
You have made some progress, and are pointing in the right direction. Here is a brief protocol, to treat all the causes in a practical way. I have attached a few links as well as documents for you. Help yourself to health and share this information, especially as we have a Facebook link on our website: www.naturefresh.co.za
1 Low stomach acid. Usually the cause of ulcers relating to parasites. Also poor nutrient absorption.
2 Gluten or wheat or milk reaction and also not eating according to blood type = sinusitis
3 Best advice for tinnitus (he needs these supplements) Note that our Olive Leaf is similar to gingko biloba to improve circulation – plus it helps to eliminate microbes and lower blood pressure
Response: Dear Sue, thank you very much for your protocol. With best regards
BLOOD TYPE O. A LOT OF COMPLAINTS: PCOS, PARASITES, GERD, CYSTITIS
Q) I suffer from irregular periods, bad skin, IBS, GERD, and at most times and I am highly stressed. I try to follow the blood group diet 70-80% of the time.
I have recently done a live blood analysis which showed parasites. I have taken the parasite cleanse for 10 days and was interrupted with a very bad case of cystitis and vaginitis! Is there any correlation? I used to suffer with recurrent cystitis however I haven’t had a bad case for a very long time.
I have completed a course of antibiotics and diflucan (fluconazole) as well as using gyno daktarin.
Kindly advise on what supplementation I can use in order to restore the balance in my body.
My daily supplements consists of…
Ds24, Psyllium husks, Omega 3, Iron supplement -suggested after live blood analysis L tyrosine -suggested after live blood analysis….kelp gives memory acne!
I also would like to know if it is true if excess hormones are stored in fat? Although I am tiny my lower body is much larger than my upper body. Will loosing this weight assist with p.c.o although I am underweight?
A ) Please pay special attention to the PCOS protocol.
You seriously need probiotics, to sort out vaginal and other problems. You need nature Fresh Parasite Remedy.
Forget the psyllium husks. When stressed, you need more vitamin c and that is why one gets constipated. See No5 – constipation in the Common Ailments notes.
Please follow the O2 (non-secretor) eating plan (not only when you feel like it) in my book for better balance and control over carbohydrates. This sub-group has a lot of these problems.
Hormones like estrogen are stored in fat and aggravated by it. With PCOS one becomes insulin resistant, so you make more triglycerides, that can store as fat.
ME: HELP FROM SCIO BEST LIVE BLOOD ANALYSIS
Hi I have ME and would like to see a natural doctor who can assist with vitamin deficiencies, diet, looking at my symptoms wholistically. A neighbour has recommended a doctor who does live blood analyis and another source has recommended a practitioner who uses a SCIO machine or something similar. I am very confused and don’t know which route to follow. Have you any feedback or recommendations for me please as I don’t want to try out all the various options as its costly and can be overwhelming. Thanks a lot
A ) Many patients use our Parasite Remedy, even preferring it to olive leaf. It helps with the microbial load. We have a lot of helpful protocols on our website www.naturefresh.co.za or I can send attachments.
Some other suggestions: heavy metal detox, liver and gall flush, gluten intolerance. Blood type diet.
All questions that SCIO, BEST or the blood analysis can answer! Please share the info with the therapist, if you can find one in your area. All techniques are good – a lot has to do with who uses the stuff!
Hope you feel real better, real soon. It is quite a long walk to freedom, but the more you detox and eat right, the better.
PCOS: MISCARRIAGES, PROGESTERONE, DIET, THERAPIST
Q) Good day Kindly assit me with herbal remedies, supplements and a diet. I am 5 weeks pregnant and have PCOS.(Not sure if i am insulien resistant) I have had 3 miscarraiges. I am 30years old. Or if you could recommend a doctor or herbalist, therapist in Pretoria that i could consult. Kind regards
A) Lucky you! Here is No1 in your area. Pretoria Homeopath Dr. Dorian Lejan Lilley
021 3489 366 75 Kariba Street , Lynnwood Glen Pretoria
Email at this link: mail (http://www.hsa.org.za/mailPractitioner.php?MID=241)
1 When pregnant, stay away from any herbs that affect uterine activity – especially artemisia. If you are concerned about miscarriage, make sure the progesterone levels are keeping up. THIS IS ESSENTIAL! For instance, ladies who stop taking our herbal progesterone boosters (not the actual hormone) as soon as they are pregnant then suffer from a serious deficit of progesterone, resulting in a miscarriage. Subsequent attempts by continuing with the Black cohosh or sweet potato boosters were successful, I am happy to say. Your doctor has to compensate either with herbal treatment or progesterone supplementation and keep levels topped up. This is monitored by regular blood tests.
2 Another common cause of repeated miscarriages is due to an incompetent cervix – see quote below:
“Incompetent cervix accounts for 20-25 percent of all second trimester losses. Many women do not even know they have an incompetent cervix until after they have experienced 2 or more losses in the second trimester. The causes of an incompetent cervix can range from trauma to the cervix including extensive cervical conization (cervical biopsy), uterine abnormalities and anomalies, exposure to the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) and undergoing a forced D & C with a late pregnancy termination. Even previous childbirth can weaken the cervix. For some women, there is no definitive cause for an incompetent cervix. There are also claims that an incompetent cervix is over-diagnosed because often the indications for treatment are not always clear.”
http://www.pregnancy.org/article/incompetent-cervix
Quote from a mother: “Low progesterone can cause you to have an incompetent cervix which can cause a miscarriage. I was put on hormone pill because of this reason. My doctor said that if your body doesn’t make enough that your cervix will not harden like it should. I was tested for it at my first appointment, along with other various blood tests, and started the pills the next week and had to take them my entire first trimester.” http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090818050616AAoS9AX for more patients’ comments.
3 Next is the diet. With PCOS, one is overwhelmed by oestrogen, resulting from excessive DHT(testosterone) You seriously need to control your carbohydrates. (See PCOS attachments) Best way is:
Eat for your blood type, so food is easily digested and does not disrupt hormones.
In addition, cut out all gluten. Do this now, it is easy. No more wheat, oats, rye or barley.
Use the dietary advice and recipes on our website. www.naturefresh.co.za Love, Sue Visser
WHAT TYPE OF CALCIUM IS IN NATURE FRESH CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM COMPLEX?
A ) Nature Fresh Calcium and magnesium complex delivers a pH 7 (neutral) form of calcium citrate.
The raw materials used are: Highly purified pharmaceutical grade calcium carbonate mixed with citric acid. Some ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is also included. Other forms of calcium are derived from homeopathic triturations of calcium phosphate. Calcium sulphate and calcium fluoride.
I hope this is sufficient information. The results speak for themselves, as we have a good track record especially with companies like pH for life and doctors treating osteoporosis.
STRESS BURNOUT. COLEUS FOR THYROID, NOT ADRENALS.
Q ) Sue I read on your website that the herb coleus forskholii is good for restoring cellular energy. I am suffering from what seems to be burn out and was considering using the product in conjunction with Vit B 5 etc as suggested but I am a bit concerned as it is indicated as a fat burner on the bottle and I definitely don’t want to be losing any weight. I look forward to your feedback. Thanks
A ) Coleus is more for thyroid problems. If you are at burnout stage, please first attend to adrenals. (Been there done it!)
Do some detox, especially of heavy metals to reduce the load and you will immediately feel a bit better.
Next, cut out all gluten – this makes an amazing difference.
I also find eating for my blood type made life easier.
Parasites and microbes also need to be eliminated.
It is a good idea to take adaptogens eg: Rhodiola, ginseng, etc. combinations – look at health shops, pharmacies or at Dischem. You can get back up the ladder now! Love, Sue
Response: ) Great, Thanks so much for your time and valuable info, Sue
PROBIOTICS AFFECTED BY COLLOIDAL SILVER?
Q ) Could you tell me the effects of colloidal silver on your gut flora?
A ) Colloidal silver is an antibiotic, effective against a number of infections, so it kills bacteria. However, at concentrations of up to 10% as we have in our probiotics, it does not harm the beneficial gut bacterial strains. In this ratio, They say it is synergistic –especially on plants at small dilutions, and hopefully us!
RAISED LEVELS OF IGE COULD BE FROM WORMS!
Q ) I have a 3 year old son with IGE levels raised from 200 to 5000 His main allergies are peanuts, cows milk, white egg – He had very severe eczema on his whole body Because of his raised IGE levels and severe aczema the doctor has a strong tendancy to diagnosing it with Job Buckley Syndrome( also called Hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome) which is a rare immune system deficiency (see link for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperimmunoglobulin_E_syndrome
The paediatrician recommendation is that he go on chronic course of antibiotics as there is no cure for this only prevention of infection – this I feel will only suppress the problem and not cure the root of the problem. I please need your thoughts around this and also advise on how to boost his immune system naturally. I believe in your work and your knowledge and will so appreciate your advice. I am desperate to have a consult with you for advice on boosting his immune system naturally I believe you may be one of the very few people that can help we respect your knowledge and I would appreciate the opportunity .
A ) I am a health researcher and do my best to help point people in the right direction. I take no responsibility for how you interpret the information but hope it leads to a healthy happy result!
I think you should read this extract from the internet. As we know, all small children suffer from parasites, especially worms (helminths). I have attached info on Nature Fresh parasite Remedy for your attention.
Raised IGE levels in children infected with worms (helminths)
“Helminthic infection can stimulate the interleukin-4 (IL-4)-dependent polyclonal synthesis of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in children endemically exposed to these parasites. As such children are also frequently at nutritional risk, in this study we considered the possible influence of malnutrition on serum IL-4 levels and the IgE response in helminthic infection. We evaluated 85 Ascaris-infected children living in an urban slum area of Caracas, Venezuela, and found that the serum levels of IL-4 and total IgE were significantly higher in malnourished children than in their well nourished counterparts. In contrast, the specific anti-Ascaris IgE antibody response was significantly lower in the malnourished group. After anthelmintic treatment of the children, the total serum IgE and IL-4 levels decreased significantly in the well nourished group, while the specific anti-Ascaris IgE antibody response increased. No significant change was detected, however, in the malnourished group. Our results suggested that malnutrition potentiates the polyclonal stimulation of IgE synthesis induced by helminths. As specific IgE antibody has been implicated in the resistance to helminthic infection, and the polyclonal stimulus diminishes this response, these factors may increase the susceptibility of malnourished children to such parasites.”

1 Antibiotics do not treat worms. Use the Nature Fresh parasite Remedy for 1 week per month.
2 Antibiotics also weaken the immune system, so one needs to compensate with probiotics. See notes on how to do this at the website, or take Nature Fresh Probiotic-15
3 Improve nutrition. I prefer to feed people according to their blood type, as you may know. By all means, avoid foods that test as allergic – but when malnourished and full of worms, one can become allergic to many things.
4 Give cod liver oil capsules. Vital makes a reasonably priced product. This is essential, to help the eczema.
5 Give a good multivitamin, and foods rich in vitamin B complex.
6 I would like to see total avoidance of ALL WHEAT and also no OATS, RYE and BARLEY as a safety check if you are not sure about blood type. The gluten in these foods exacerbates (and even may cause) all forms of autoimmune disease. There is plenty of research to confirm this.
7 Nature Fresh Bee Balm can be applied to the skin lesions. Many people improve and it helps to soothe the pain and burning. Do not use regular soap as it is too alkaline. Try Nature Fresh Rooibos Vaginal Cleanser.
Try this for 1 month, then you can see how things improve.
Response immediately! ) You are my hero! Thank you so much – I will follow this to the letter and let you know in one month. May you be blessed and be granted all that is good
STILL CONSTANT DIARRHOEA (LOOSE STOOL ) IN ADULT. NOT SOLVED BY PROBIOTICS
Q ) Hi its me again my mums stomach is giving me nightmares DO you have something called glutamine powder or tablet Dr Patrick Holford recommends that people with problematic tummys should try this. Liquid Probiotic is not working we need to slow down my mums bowl movement Help please with a natural product instead of me using a product with cortizone in it
A ) Cortisone will not sort out a dietary intolerance, pancreatic insufficiency or a microbial infection. Please read the info below, from the internet. We need to find the cause of the problem. Obviously the probiotics can’t help a dietary fault or a parasite problem either.
“Bowel Infections and Food Poisoning Bowel infections caused by viruses, bacteria and certain parasites frequently cause loose stools. Parasites that frequently cause loose stools include Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Entamoeba histolytica and Cyclospora species, notes the Cleveland Clinic.”
1 ) Give her a course of nature Fresh Parasite Remedy?
Malabsorption Disorders
Disease processes that interfere with the breakdown of consumed foods or the absorption of nutrients by the intestine are collectively termed malabsorption disorders. These conditions typically cause loose stools. Decreased production or release of pancreatic digestive juices causes malabsorption owing to impaired breakdown of dietary fats, starches and proteins. Common causes of pancreatic malabsorption include pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas.
Impaired production or release of bile—which occurs with cirrhosis, which is a liver disease, or gallstones—frequently causes diarrhea related to the presence of undigested fats in the intestine. Intestinal disorders that interfere with absorption of digested nutrients include celiac disease, Crohn’s disease and Whipple disease,

Whipple disease is a systemic disease most likely caused by a gram-positive bacterium, Tropheryma whippelii.[1, 2] Although the first descriptions of the disorder described a malabsorption syndrome with small intestine involvement, the disease also affects the joints, CNS, and cardiovascular system.

2) I presume your mother has been taken off all wheat. Now also oats, rye and barley for1 month to see if things improve.
3) After the parasite remedy you can do the liver and gall flush.
4) However, if there is a bacterial infection, a course of antibiotics should do the trick. After that, replenish the gut flora with PROBIOTIC -15
5) Another option is to have a session on a SCIO or BIOS or NES device to get the full listing of the parasites involved. YOU can find a practitioner close to you by searching the web.
Hope this saves you on toilet paper! Love, Sue
Q 2 ) Hi Remember my Mum does not have a Gall Bladder
A 2 ) Sorry, now I remember. No gallbladder, but she does have serious bile and parasite problems! Diarrhoea and constant loose stools are common after gall bladder removal. Surely you know this and have controlled her fat and sugar? I told you about her wheat intake?

Here is more research on glutamine. In the blog below they advise to first deal with parasites, candida and infections, because taking glutamine releases more ammonia and it can have toxic effects.
http://dysbiosis.com/blog/l-glutamine/
“Instead of plain glutamine, I think one should consider supplementing some Perque Endura Guard. Perque Endura Guard has both glutamine and alpha ketoglutarate with B6. This mixture is easier on the body, and more helpful, in my opinion. The alpha ketoglutarate will help remove the ammonia released by the glutamine. It will also assist you in using your B6 properly.”

A DISCUSSION ON HIV/AIDS TREATMENT. HOW OPEN IS YOUR MIND TO SOME TRUTH?
Q ) Please understand, that I am just so frustrated by the lack of proper health / nutritional information available to the general public, especially locally.
When I listen to persons taking ARV’s; I want to pull my hair from head, as they are starting to sound like Big Pharma doctors / agents, whilst having no clue on the history of the fraud – however still willing to take ARV’s due to their fear of death, which is being encouraged.
The so-called, experts in the medical field don’t seem to have any real (verified) and substantial medical knowledge on HIV / AIDS and when you start questioning them, they start doing the goldfish thing, with no sound emanating from their lips, however they are dressed in a white coat and have a Dr title plastered everywhere.
Following on my conversations with many people that are currently suffering from immune deficiencies; Several of them mentioned that Omega-48 delivers excellent results, however they all complained that the local supply / supplier seems to be inconsistent with deliveries. Do you not perhaps stock / produce (or intend to) a similar product?
A ) I love your observations! So true.
I am not sure about any obscure product that is both hard to find and usually – profitable to a purveyor of acclaimed “cures.” I know nothing about Omega 48, but there is something very important to consider prior to immune boosting. Parasites. In my experience, one must seek the truth – the cause of an ailment. No matter what virus jumps onto a microscope slide (and they use the same image) one must treat the cause of what is basically a parasite/microbial problem. Yes, some of them have two legs and strut around in white jackets and act like goldfish.
When a simple lady like me gets stunning results, it is a big threat to all the “scientists”! Many infected people who did a thorough parasite cleanse or who took only olive leaves, manage to now test as negative. It is so simple and easy to do in any part of the world, at little cost because God provides the herbs you can use. One lady dying of HIV/AIDS was given our Parasite Remedy and walked out of hospital after 3 weeks. Now she is back at work! The black people who come to me for a stomach ache even test as HIV negative after their first treatment.
OLIVE LEAVES. One case from the UK tested as negative after a few weeks of taking our NATURE FRESH olive leaf tablets. (Olive leaves seem to attack and destroy retroviruses, as well as worms.) The wild olive tree is best and it grows in most regions of Africa. So people can help themselves, I do not have a retail agenda. I have taught people in many parts of Africa how to use their own precious herbal medicines. 7 fresh olive leaves = 1 of our tablets. Leaves can be juiced/pounded with water and strained. Some people chew them, but they are very bitter. Do not boil, it destroys most of the actives.
So with people on ARV’s, are they treating the main problem or merely helping to poison people? All patients with a compromised immunity are wide open to parasites and carry a heavy load. Even big Pharma knows about the parasite load. Worms and flukes especially, act as vectors of other infections. Big parasites are like protective busses that viral, fungal, bacterial and other deadly microbial passengers travel in. The immune system is baffled by the bus, no matter how one strengthens and often overstimulates the immune system, you will not kill the host, the large parasite. Get rid of the worms and flukes with herbs like: olive leaf, Artemisia and cloves. My notes will show you how it is done.
You can circulate this and I hope it helps those who need it. Those who think it costs a fortune to be “cured”. God’s medicine has no side effects!

Hi there
I just thought that I should send you a short note to give praise where praise is due! I recently looked on the bottom shelf at a Pick n Pay store and saw Bee Balm. It is now my standard travel companion and gets transferred daily from bag to bedside table and back. I think this is a fantastic product and am enjoying using it on minor cuts and abrasions as well as my face and neck and night.
Thank you for a truly wholesome and fantastic product which by the way smells wonderful.
Many thanks again, J
KIDNEY STONES
Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I will cut back on the spinach in my juicing and include more parsley and celery and dandelion in juicing and make sure my
Husband takes Nature fresh calcium complex at night. The Renotone tablets from Tibbs also sounds
A good option as well as Vitamin B6. We are both taking cranberry tablets to prevent infections.
Thank-you once again for all your helpful info and web site.
Kind Regards,

CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM COMPLEX FOR PREGNANCY
Q )I am pregnant and going on 29 weeks. My doctor advised that I take a calcium & magnesium supplement as I am having cramps. Are your Nature Fresh Calcium and Magnesium Complex tablets safe to take during pregnancy and how many would you recommend I take daily?
A ) Our Calcium & magnesium supplement is often recommended by doctors for pregnancy – and especially for breastfeeding. Take as directed on the container. You can also enjoy it as a hot drink with xylitol. They say great things about mothers to be taking xylitol for excellent children’s teeth! See our home page on the website www.naturefresh.co.za Also look at the article I wrote for All the best for a healthy happy baby!
Response: ) Thank you for a great response!
CALCIUM COMPLEX THE BEST – TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE!
Hi, I must be the biggest fan of your Calcium product! I tell people everywhere I go that all other calcium is no good.
I know it’s the truth because I have probably tried everything on the market before.
PROBLEM:
Why are your products not available more widely?
PCOS CYCLES UNDER CONTROL WITH SWEET POTATO
Q) Hi there, I have PCOS and have been on sweet potato drops the past 7 years which helps my menstrual cycle tremendously. I’m getting married on a date which is in the first week that I’m suppose to start with my cycle. How should I use these drops to help postpone my cycle or make it earlier and how can I get it back to normal again? Please help?
A ) I am so happy to hear of your success with the sweet potato. Well done! Many ladies have used the ‘overdosing” technique to skip a menstrual cycle. For this, it is usually 20 drops a day. Perhaps 2×10 drops? We all vary and I feel it better to practice by skipping the month before and then keeping up the regimen so at least you know you are on target.
I tested both the chewing of sweet potato as well as the 20 drops a day over 10 years ago. Six months on each, to the amazement of professionals. I resumed a normal cycle as soon as I discontinued (no sweet potato – until it began.)
I have attached a small library on PCOS as I help many such cases and am happy to be able to offer some help. If you want to go online, visit our website www.naturefresh.co.za Y
All the best and have a wonderful (carefree) wedding! Love, Sue
THANK YOU FOR PRODUCT ADVICE AND HEALTH SUPPORT
Response: } Thank goodness for people like you who do research and share it so willingly with the broader public. These days one pay huge prices to see Nutritionists. I really value your input and time to take care.I will read through everything slowly and change my diet. Warm regards
A ) Dear .. Here is a lot of helpful information. Please also share it with people who need special care.
Your best products are:
Olive leaf and/or Parasite Remedy
Probiotic-15 liquid (very economical)
Calcium complex powder at bedtime.
But all products work better if you do a little research and change your eating and shopping habits.
Eat only what suits you . So many people get bogged down and it is so simple.
We also find that many of us also need to avoid all gluten (even for the blood type) like me, for instance. Also with ankylosing sponditis or fibromyalgia, people use our Parasite Remedy daily as this roots out parasites pathogens that tend to undermine our health and cause pain in the joints and even muscles. I have attached new information to keep you updated. Regards, Sue visser

Herpease – prompt reply
Dear Jim & Sue
Thank you for your astonishingly prompt & helpful reply to my query; if only much of the rest of South Africa would understand so clearly the meaning of the word ‘service’ — hooray for folk like you!
I shall phone around to the several places close by, & ask about the ‘Herp-ease’, & the Bee Balm. In the meantime I shall print out your helpful schedule as a guide and reference. Thank you very much. Sincerely …
Sue’s comment: and thank you too, for such kind words. (Unlike 90% of the people who have queries and often demands. They do not realise that I am also a real – and very busy person. )

Hot flushes are beneficial. Some inspiration from Betsy. (I fully support this logic – Sue)
According to Betsy:
“ Now that I see that hot-flashes have benefits and are there for a reason, I see how important it is to not suppress them. …..I think it’s common knowledge these days that when one has a temperature then it’s because the body is fighting infection and one should not take an aspirin to reduce the body temperature because it then is hindering the body’s own healing process. So far in all the investigations I’ve went into of various symptoms, I haven’t found one yet that makes sense to suppress. It is absurd that this is the predominant healing sentiment of our days, to suppress and eliminate symptoms – never bothering to find out what might be the cause or if the symptom might actually be beneficial and thus harmful to the system to suppress it.”
Click on http://phoenixtools.org/articles/hotflashes.htm for more about hot flushes.
Response from Sue ) Well done, Betsy. Heat up and heal yourself. I did this too – observe, experience, appreciate a natural and empowering transition. We can call them healing flushes, to eliminate, as you say, old, redundant emotional and physical waste from the body. Mine are over now. I feel wonderful and no longer have cold hands. I’m not anaemic, not overloaded with all that cell proliferating oestrogen. This is a new awakening, a change of life. Love, Sue
From Betsy ) Thank you for sharing, as more women realize this, and pass the message around, more will benefit. Love & Blessings, Betsy
