Put prostate problems in the past with Saw Palmetto
Jan de Vries Recommends...Saw Palmetto! When Alfred Vogel was first shown the berries of the Florida Saw Palm by the native traditional use by the men of the tribe could be easily translated into a herbal remedy for men with a troublesome prostate.
Prostate problems can affect men over the age of 50 or even younger. This results in their having to visit the toilet frequently and often unsatisfactorily, both day and night. The night-time interruptions to sleep can be an added strain. What the Seminole knew, and what Alfred Vogel and his researchers were able to prove, was that within the Saw Palmetto berry is an oil that can be of benefit to benign prostate problems, so making life a great deal more bearable for those suffering the unpleasant symptoms. In order to create the best remedy, A.Vogel developed a unique oil extraction process.
The latest research, carried out using A.Vogel Saw Palmetto Oily Capsules, showed excellent results. Conducted by Swiss GP's, the study involved 367 patients. Patients took one A.Vogel Saw Palmetto capsule daily for eight weeks. All patients, even those with severe symptoms, reported an improvement in quality of life which for the vast majority was achieved in just four weeks.
Prostate problems can affect men over the age of 50 or even younger.

Keep Colds at Bay - Naturally with Echinaforce
With winter on the horizon, take time to prepare for this cold season. A strong immune system will take the germs you meet every day in its stride. Our white blood cells have the ability to detect and destroy bacteria and viruses before we start to feel unwell, so it is wise to see that they have everything they need to work well.
- Rest - get plenty of sleep
- Fluids - water, herb teas, hot juices with cinnamon and ginger
- Laughter - your immune system works best when you are happy!
- Vitamin C - do not abandon fruit and vegetables. Make vegetable soups, stew fruit with warming spices and take natural Nature-C to help your body make white blood cells
- Echinaforce - proven to help the white blood cells in their task of identifying and destroying both bacteria and viruses. Take a daily maintenance dose.
Does Echinacea Work?
Yes...but only if you use the right product.
Nowadays, you can find a confusing number of Echinacea products on the market. These are made from different species using a variety of extraction methods and are made to
very different quality standards. Latest research has found that the products most likely to work are based on the Ariel parts of fresh organic Echinacea purpurea as in A.Vogel
Echinaforce.

| I am a member of the church choir. One of my fellow choristers returned to the choir with a nasty cold which he had picked up in Tenerife. Soon all
the choristers were coughing, sneezing and missing practices while I, armed with my daily dose of A.Vogel Echinaforce which I take from clock change to clock
change, sailed through without faltering on a note! No they all take it! Ronald from Greenock |
It happened every year without fail. Colds would go to my throat. I often lost my voice, so I couldn't even ring my friends for a chat. I decided
to give Echinaforce a try. I took Echinaforce daily from October until just after Christmas and, for the first winter in years, I didn't get a single cold - I could
go out really enjoy myself. Gillian from Belfast |
Revitalise with the 3-in-1 Prebiotic
Most people know that friendly gut bacteria are good for digestive health. The popular belief is that if gut bacteria become imbalanced, all that is necessary to rectify the situation is to use some friendly gut bacteria.
However, recent thinking suggests that consideration should first be given to Prebiotics. These substances help friendly bacteria - both those already in your gut and also in the Probiotics you ay be taking. Prebiotics prepare the ground for good gut bacteria and provide the food to sustain them. One new and exciting product is Molkosan Vitality.
How Does Molkosan Vitality help you?
Molkosan Vitality contains:
L+ Lactic Acid - This relatively rare acid creates a positive environment in which friendly gut bacteria can grow and thrive. These bacteria then secrete more
of the healthy lactic acid and further ensure the correct conditions for their future survival. Unfriendly bacteria don't like these conditions one bit, and as they
decline in numbers you will notice many beneficial developments.
Soluble Dietary Fibre - (6.1g in every 10g serving) aids digestion, improves colon transit time and so supports and encourages the Prebiotic action.
Green Tea - a powerful antioxidant has been well known for generations for its therapeutic effects.
Protect your Body from Ageing - inside and out!
Botanical supplements, such as A.Vogel Anti-Ageing complex, are the best way to augment your diet. Super foods such as elderberries, beetroot and carrots contain a high concentration of beneficial plant substances which the body can easily absorb.
Anti-Ageing Complex
This award winning complex provides organically certified natural sources of nutrients which help protect the body against the signs of ageing by counteracting the
adverse effects of free radicals. Polyphenols found in elderberries and grape seeds, carotenoids found in carrots as well as catechins from green tea all act as
antioxidants. These natural cell protectors must be obtained from the diet as the body cannot make them on its own. Further antioxidants are found in ginger, turmeric and
rosemary.
Pomegranate Spirulina Complex
The new A.Vogel Pomegranate-Spirulina Complex is produced from
botanical ingredients and will provide you with an impressive range of vital nutrients to increase your energy levels and make your body more resistant to stress.
Pomegranates - an organic source of potassium, vitamin C and polyphenols, which are antioxidants and can support a healthy cardiovascular system.
Spirulina - a rich source of essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, enzymes, chlorophyll and polyunsaturated fatty acids
Apple Peel - this organic ingredient contains many vitamins, minerals and bioflavonoids
What is an Anti-Oxidant?
Antioxidants are capable of neutralising harmful substances called free radicals which damage cells and may contribute to disease. Damage can occur via ultraviolet
light, radiation, smoking, dietary fats, environmental pollutants, alcohol, injury, ageing, strenuous exercise and illness. No one is immune to this damage, but
antioxidants can help slow down or prevent the process, and thus help prevent or repair damage done to your body cells.
Our bodies were designed to get their nutrients from food. Taking isolated nutrients, synthesised in a laboratory, isn't very natural. Botanical supplements contain
those beneficial plant substances as well as vitamins and minerals - all sourced from foods. These natural nutrients are better absorbed by the body.
So if you need a little extra to keep you going or bring you back to your best, look for botanical supplements. They are the best way to provide your body with nutrients.

I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knees but refuse to give up my sports. A friend suggested I try using Arnica but I don't have any bruises, only pain
especially when I'm active. What would you suggest?
Your friend was quite right. Arnica may be best known in it's homoeopathic form for bumps and bruises, but recent research tells us that as a herbal remedy it is
excellent as an anti-inflammatory. When applied externally A.Vogel Arnica Gel has
been shown in research to be very effective for joint aches and pains. The gel is absorbed quickly and easily and is fast acting. Clinical experience indicate that many
people feel an improvement almost immediately. One sufferer of painful joints commented to me: 'Anytime I feel the slightest twinge, I rub on Arnica gel and almost
instantly the ache disappears. It lets me get on with my life.'
I have been experiencing problems with my eyes, a feeling of tiredness and problems around artificial lighting. I have read that Ginkgo Biloba can help your eyes.
Is this true?
Ginkgo Biloba can help to improve circulation to the head so it may have a
beneficial effect on your eyes. However, there is a remedy specifically for the symptoms you mentioned. Bilberry
tincture, 20 drops twice a day in a little water, can help to reduce eyestrain and sensitivity and improve vision.
I have finally managed to give up smoking but it's left me with a nasty cough. Sometimes when I start, I can't stop/ The Doctor says there's nothing to worry about
but it's so annoying. Can you help?
Well done on giving up smoking! The best thing is to use a remedy that soothes spasm in the respiratory tract without weakening the ability of the body to expel
foreign matter. A herb well known for its anti-spasmodic action is ivy. Experience has shown it works well for repetitive or hacking coughs. Alfred Vogel added it to
thyme in Ivy-Thyme Complex to create a remedy that reduced constant, wearing
coughs, whilst strengthening the body's expectorant powers. Thyme helps loosen and thin mucus in the respiratory tract too - an additional benefit.
What is the best remedy for Chronic Candida albicans?
There is no single remedy, but here are some pointers:
- Avoid refined sugar, coffee, alcohol and highly processed food
- Chew your food well and don't rush around whilst eating
- Deal with sources of stress and unhappiness as the immune system works better when you're happy
- Get enough sleep as this also aids immune function
- Supplement with the prebiotic, Molkosan Vitality.
- Strengthen immune function with Echinaforce and Nature-C
- Improve digestive power with Centaurium
