So far this summer, we've had some very gratifying feedback from new users of our popular E-3 Pain Relief Lotion, as well as some of our "regulars." Darcy, from here in Oregon, gives E-3 as a gift to family members for their birthdays and other occasions, and has seen conditions from leg aches to diaper rash relieved in those she loves. Rosalee, a new client was blown away when E-3 managed her longstanding shoulder pain when nothing else ever worked over the years. Read about more E-3 successes on the website, and feel free to send in yours. That's why we love this job!Every once in a while a news story hits me just right (or wrong), and makes me mad. One story we've included in our Vibrant Living Tips section below. Although I've read extensively on the health dangers of processed sugars, and countless health pundits have preached about it, the "food industry" blindly continues to distract and re-package the stuff in a wider and wider array of products. The thing that ticks me off is the promotion of a processed sugar carrier as a "health food," and some of the worst offenders use this strategy.
Because sugar is naturally enjoyable taste-wise, food profiteers exploit the effect despite mountains of medical data showing all kinds of harm. I guess it's the "profits over public welfare" issue that got me going on this. Luckily, that mountain of medical data does make it out into the general consuming public, and at least in my case, it changed my consuming habits away from processed sugars.
I suppose it was because of that mountain of data against sugar that caused the sugar peddlers to go into stealth mode. But government subsidies for the manufacture of processed sugar certainly are partly to blame. If there was a subsidy for making natural alternative sweeteners such as Stevia or fruits, there could be a significant social impact. The difference, I reckon, is subsidizing existing crop infrastructure versus creating a new one, and that just gets down to plain old laziness--money for nuthin'...
Nonetheless, hope springs eternal for such trends as community gardens, urban farming, and the embracing of the organic lifestyle. It's all a matter of perspective.
Until next time...
In vibrant health,

We just received a letter from one of Shay's old friends from a nearby town. Shay had seen her recently, and off-the-cuff, handed her two bottles of E-3 Pain Relief Lotion, in response to her friend's story about her should injury. 
Shay continues her odyssey at the Optimum Health Institute in San Diego. She has become an indispensible member of the operations team down there, tending the onsite gardens, teaching breathing classes and leading exercise sessions. She reported that she has the potentially unpopular task of waking everyone for their morning constitutionals...a task she enjoys for the opportunity to get everyone started in good mood.
