Hello Raw Food Friends!

Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!
~L.H. Bailey

Hello Health Seekers!

What kind of water are you drinking?

Distilled water?
Bottled water?
R.O. water?
Tap water?

All water is not created equal. Most of us understand the importance of clean water, but did you know that your clean water may not be healthy for you?

Is your drinking water alkaline or acidic?

Is your drinking water high in antioxidants or a source of free radicals?

Are the minerals in your drinking water bioavailable or are they being deposited in joints and arteries?

Is your drinking water micro-clustered?

Does your drinking water contain xenoestrogens from plastic?

If you have yet to learn about energized, ionized, alkaline, high antioxidant water, this is a perfect opportunity to learn from Andrea Sweetnam and Tony Colvin who are very knowledgeable about ionized water and its effects on health. They are passionate about sharing ionized water because of the profound benefits people have experienced. Change the quality of your water and improve the quality of your life!

In this IonWays Water Clinic you will discover:

Why chronic dehydration is the cause of many diseases.
How ionized water affects the body.
Why ionized water is so effective in improving one’s health.
How micro-clustered ionized water aids in hydrating the body.
How water ionizers work.
Why IonWays ionizers are superior to all other ionizers on the market.
How your drinking water* tests for pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP).
Answers to your water related questions.

*Please bring a sample of your current drinking water (not tap water).

WHAT: IonWays Water Clinic with guest speakers Andrea Sweetnam and Tony Colvin

While very popular in Japan and Korea for the last 25 years, the water ionizer is still largely unknown in the West. What do the Japanese and the Koreans know about ionized water that we don’t?

Why Should You Drink Ionized Water?

Ionized Alkaline Water is a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals upon contact.
Ionized Alkaline Water's antioxidant properties provide the body with abundant oxygen.
Ionized Alkaline Water reduces acidity thereby improving your pH balance.
Ionized Alkaline Water is micro-clustered and is up to six times more hydrating that conventional water.
Ionized Alkaline Water is extremely detoxifying, helping to neutralize and reduce disease causing acid and solid waste.
Ionized Alkaline Water contains ionized minerals which are more bioavailable.
Ionized Alkaline Water improves the taste of food and beverages.

For more information on the benefits of ionization, water quality, filtration, IonWays technology and IonWays products visit:www.ionways.com/awesomerawsome

Come and enjoy the amazing benefits of energized, ionized, alkaline, high antioxidant water. Bring a container along to take a supply of ionized alkaline water home with you.

Discover Living, Energized Water…and learn how to transform your life.

SUPERCHARGE ME is an honest, educational and often humorous documentary of Norwood's transformational experience at a raw foods detox center.

"I'd been a vegetarian for 24 years, but that didn't mean I was eating healthy food," said Norwood. "My diet included too much junk food and very few fruits or vegetables."

Motivated by a glamorous showgirl Halloween costume, Norwood was inspired to try a raw diet for thirty days, the outcome of which not only transformed her body and health, but also changed her life.

Norwood did indeed shed 15 pounds for a showgirl-enviable body, but her cholesterol also dropped 50 points, her blurred vision disappeared (along with her glasses) and her chronic aches and pains diminished.

"The health benefits were astounding," said Norwood, "but I was even more delighted to discover I felt sharp, more focused and energized. I was sleeping better, more connected spiritually and felt more sensitive to others. Perhaps most importantly, I just felt much happier."

Who knew the secret to a happy and content life could be as simple as a carrot stick?

Norwood was hooked and determined to share her newfound knowledge with others.

Hello Friends!

We'd like to invite you to the:

RECLAIMING YOUR HEALTH - EMPOWERMENT SEMINAR

by Mel Tarry, President and Founder of Avena Originals

Learn How to - Clean the Body & Feed the Body

DISCOVER:

What The Major Causes Of Disease Are
How The Process Of Digestion Works
Why Our Bodies Are So Toxic
Why Most Of Us Are Suffering From Deficiencies
Why Much Of The Food We Eat Poisons Our Bodies
How To Work With The Laws Of Nature

Health is NOT a Matter of CHANCE; it's a Matter of CHOICE!

Length of Lecture: Approx 2 Hours

Health Seminar - Guest Speaker - Mel Tarry - President - Avena Originals

The information that is shared at this lecture will help everyone to understand the basic truths about the cause and prevention of disease. Great emphasis will be placed on the digestive system. With many years of training and the use of information provided by Michael O'Brien, Mel Tarry will present Avena's Seven Steps to Reclaim your Health Program. The Principles and Laws of Nature will be presented through a powerful power point presentation.

Mel Tarry strongly believes that you must understand 'WHY' we get sick, before we can understand 'WHY' we need to apply these principles of 'Clean the Body and Feed the Body'.

If this is your first time be prepared to soak up the information, learn how to apply the principles of health and healing, and experience your new found health.

Diana's Comments:

Learn how Avena Originals 100% vegan products can help you achieve your health goals. We especially highly recommend and use Avena's Full Spectrum Plant based Enzymes and patented strain Friendly Flora daily for all raw food enthusiasts, since most of us enter this lifestyle with compromised digestion from years of eating a faulty diet.

Wise supplementation provides helpful support during a transition diet into a raw foods lifestyle which greatly enhances all of the processes of detoxification, elimination as well as assimilation.

This seminar will leave you feeling empowered to take charge of your health with a greater determination to continually improve your diet. Remember, you don't have to be sick...once you understand HOW to be well!

Mel Tarry is looking forward to meeting you!

We hope to see you there as well!
