This article contains information on common ailments and
suggestions, for those who may experience symptoms, based on
research and personal experiences. This information is for
educational purposes only and does not constitute claims made
for any product or a diagnosis for any ailment.
______________
Cause...
It is believed that canker sores are triggered by stress, which
can cause the body's immune system to overreact to bacteria
normally present in the mouth. They can be initiated by
irritating the inside of the mouth, such as with a rough
toothbrush or biting the inside of the mouth.
What May Help: Watkins Aloe Vera Juice or Gel Capsules
Why...
Aloe vera accelerates healing and reduces pain associated with
canker sores.
Helpful Hint...
Aloe can be taken both as the aloe vera juice and aloe vera gel.
For the greatest benefits, drink at least 2 ounces of Watkins
Aloe Vera Juice daily and when symptoms appear, place a clean,
sterile pin through the end of the gel capsule or cut open a
gel capsule with clean, sterile scissors or a knife and
squeeze the aloe onto the sore to speed healing.
What May Help: Watkins Rezist Plus, Superfood Multiple(Super
Multi)
Why...
Strengthens the immune system. Superfood Multiple(Super Multi)
contains B vitamins, often lacking in those who experience
frequent canker sores.

"Many of my customers have told me about the great results they
have using Watkins Aloe Vera Gel Capsules for canker sores.
They place a clean, sterile pin through the end of the gel
capsule and squeeze the gel directly onto the canker sore or
the gums. I have had several customers use Watkins Aloe Vera
Gel Capsules for canker sores with tremendous success."
—Pete Redekop, Manitoba
*-Aloe Vera: New Remedy for Oral Health Problems-*
New reports published in the January/February issue of General
Dentistry show that the aloe vera plant, used to heal skin for
more than 2,000 years, can also treat many oral health problems,
including canker sores, cold sores, herpes simplex type 1 virus,
lichen planus and gum disease such as gingivitis. Researchers
suggest that aloe vera accelerates healing and reduces pain
associated with canker sores and blisters on the lips and mouth
and could be a very inexpensive alternative remedy. Author
Richard L.Wynn discusses a study done on a patient with lichen
planus, a disease affecting the skin and oral mucus membranes.
The patient drank 2 ounces of aloe vera juice daily and
topically applied aloe vera to the lips. The oral lesions
cleared up in four weeks and complete success was achieved. Dr.
Wynn cited the study as showing that oral health problems can
be treated with aloe vera. "Aloe Vera can be taken both as the
aloe vera juice and aloe vera gel. These are the two modes of
delivery recognized by the FDA," said Dr.Wynn.
Watkins Aloe Vera Juice is 99.7% pure, cold-processed and
stabilized and Watkins Aloe Vera Gel Capsules contain
concentrate equal to one teaspoon of pure gel. The recommended
use is 2 to 6 ounces of juice or one gel capsule per day. For
the greatest benefits, drink at least 2 ounces of Watkins Aloe
Vera Juice daily and when symptoms appear, place a clean,
sterile pin through the end of the gel capsule or cut open a
gel capsule with clean, sterile scissors or a knife and
squeeze the aloe onto the sore to speed healing.
Consult your physician before taking any dietary supplements.

Blood Sugar Concerns

This article contains information on common ailments and
suggestions, for those who may experience symptoms, based on
research and personal experiences. This information is for
educational purposes only and does not constitute claims made
for any product or a diagnosis for any ailment.
______________
The amount of glucose, or sugar, in the blood is called your
blood sugar level. Since your cells use glucose for energy, it
is important that these levels stay within normal limits for
cells to function properly. Normally, blood sugar levels stay
within normal limits throughout the day, being highest after
meals and lowest in the morning. However, under certain
conditions, the body is no longer able to control the level of
glucose in the blood, which over time, can lead to cell damage.
Cause...
Type I diabetes occurs when the pancreas stops producing
insulin. The cause is unknown but some believe it is due to a
virus. People with type I must take insulin for life. Type 2
diabetes develops when the pancreas produces enough insulin,
but the cells resist it. This is called insulin resistance.
Obesity increases the risk of type 2.
What May Help: Watkins Superfood Multiple(Super Multi)
Why...
Contains B-complex vitamins which help to convert glucose to
energy and help to prevent nerve damage and chromium, which
helps to balance blood glucose and cholesterol in diabetics.
What May Help: Watkins Reduce Plus(WMS #2) (check with
physician and monitor blood sugar regularly)
Why...
Contains banaba, chromium and gymnema sylvestre which help to
balance blood sugar levels.
What May Help: Watkins Cinnamon
Why...
1/4 tsp per day helps to lower blood sugar levels in type 2
diabetics by helping to make insulin more effective in the body.
Consume cinnamon at each meal for best results.
*-Ground Breaking News!-*
Cinnamon shown to lower blood sugar, fats and cholesterol!
Recent studies reported in the journal, Diabetes Care, have
shown that just 1/4 tsp of cinnamon every day may help to lower
blood sugar, fats and cholesterol by up to 30 percent in those
with type 2 diabetes. Researchers suggest it may also stave off
the onset of type 2 diabetes in those at risk. Study author Dr.
Richard A. Anderson of the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research
Center in Maryland noted that diabetics could add a dash of
cinnamon to their morning servings of coffee, orange juice or
cereal.
Anderson and his team found that all cinnamon takers
experienced a drop in blood levels of glucose, fats and
cholesterol by up to 30 percent. No change was seen in the
people taking placebo. As an added bonus, cinnamon contains
virtually no calories, Anderson said, allowing diabetics to add
zest to their meals without adding to their waistlines.
Previous research has shown that cinnamon appears to help fat
cells recognize and respond to insulin. In recent studies, the
spice increased glucose metabolism by about 20 times.
Helpful Hint...
Try Watkins Purest Ground Cinnamon every day on cereal, oatmeal,
toast, apples and savory dishes. Place in coffee grounds before
brewing for rich flavor and aroma.

This article contains information on common ailments and
suggestions, for those who may experience symptoms, based on
research and personal experiences. This information is for
educational purposes only and does not constitute claims made

______________
Cause...

Children’s Chewable(In Canada, Watkins JR is for adult use

*-B-6(B-complex vitamin)...when B-6 was given to hyperactive
children with low blood serotonin levels, hyperactivity was
reduced and serotonin returned to normal.

neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, imbalances of which are
linked to ADD/ADHD.

learning difficulties.

addition, a 2003 study published in the Alternative Medicine
Review found that dietary supplements consisting of vitamins,
minerals, phytonutrients and other essential nutrients were
as effective as medication in reducing symptoms of ADD and
ADHD.
*-Testimonial-*

Consult your physician before taking any dietary supplements.
Derron Lemke's Amazing Story
Derron, the son of Sue Skomsky, was experiencing severe
behavioral problems that seriously impacted his performance
at school and life at home. He was diagnosed with ADD(
Attention Deficit Disorder) and given a prescription for
Ritalin, which he took for eight years. In search of an
alternative, the family traveled hundreds of miles to consult
with a doctor of research specializing in children with ADD.
The specialist placed Derron on a program of dietary
modification and intensive vitamin supplementation, believing
that proper nutrition could correct the chemical imbalances
in the boy's brain. The program worked well, well enough that
Derron was allowed to stop taking the Ritalin. But in order
to get all of the nutrients prescribed by the specialist,
Derron had to take upwards of ten pills every morning, "not a
very pleasant way to start the day," according to Sue.
When Sue noticed that Watkins Superfood Multiple was similar
to the nutrition profile of the vitamins Derron was taking,
she faxed the ingredient statements to their specialist, who
"was amazed at the formulations," said Sue, "and gave instant
approval. She got totally excited!"
Since Derron started taking Watkins Superfood Multiple, his
whole outlook has changed. His grades in school have been
excellent, and he has not had a single episode. Although
every case is different and needs to be evaluated by a
physician, Derron's physician, Dr. Brian Baxter, agrees that
"Derron has done very well. The combination of the diet and
the vitamins have allowed him to stop taking Ritalin. It's
certainly a very holistic approach, and an alternative to
prescription drugs."
-Sue Skomsky, New York-
"My daughter had been struggling in school; she couldn't
focus and her grades were falling. Her teacher thought she
had attention deficit disorder. I started giving her Watkins
Children's Chewable and in two weeks, her teacher said,
‘Whatever you are doing...keep it up.’ She finished the year
with straight As."
—Tawny Dawson, Pennsylvania-
"My son has been taking Superfood Multiple(Super Multi) for
several months and he is a different little boy! He is
getting much better grades and has been able to focus at
school, which was very difficult for him before taking the
Watkins vitamins."
—Kelly Borchardt, Ontario-
The following testimonial does not relate directly to
behavior, but since recurring infections affect school
attendance and therefore, performance, this testimonial has
been included.
"My 8 year old daughter used to have ear infections every
month. Since using Watkins Children's Chewables, she no
longer has ear infections and has missed no days of school
from illness.We use many of Watkins dietary supplements and
it's the best health insurance investment we've ever made."
—Laurie Bird, Arizona-

Allergies

This article contains information on common ailments and
suggestions, for those who may experience symptoms, based on
research and personal experiences. This information is for
educational purposes only and does not constitute claims made
for any product or a diagnosis for any ailment.
______________
Cause...
In some individuals, the immune system will overreact to
substances that enter the body, causing release of histamine
as a defensive mechanism.
What May Help: Watkins Rezist Plus
Why...
Contains ImmunEnhancer and pre and pro-biotics that block
substances that attempt to invade your body. Blocking these
substances helps to reduce your allergic reactions.
Helpful Hint...
At the first sign of allergies, take 2 caplets of Rezist Plus
in the morning and 2 in the evening until symptoms subside,
then take 2 caplets daily.
What May Help: Watkins Bee Pollen Complex
Why...
Many people take bee pollen in the early spring to help
combat allergy symptoms associated with pollen. A growing
number of scientists believe that ingesting small amounts of
pollen can desensitize an individual to its allergenic
compounds. Note: If you are allergy or bee sting sensitive,
consult your physician allergist before using.
*-Testimonials-*
These are personal testimonials. Individual results may vary.
Consult your physician before taking any dietary supplements.
"I live in California's central valley and allergies have
always been a problem for me. I started taking Watkins Rezist
Plus regularly and I have made it through the allergy season
with no symptoms whatsoever and have not had to take any
allergy medications. I haven't been sick at all, even though
several "bugs" have been going around. Thank you, Watkins,
for such a wonderful product."
-Greg Ellis, California-
"For years I've had allergy symptoms, such as a runny nose,
etc. I started taking Rezist Plus and have had little or no
allergy symptoms for over a year."
-Dean Gengler, Kansas-
"My oldest son wanted to take Rezist Plus because he knew it
would help fight colds and flu, but the spin-off is that he
suffered from what I called "allergy to the morning." Certain
times of the year he would wake up sneezing and coughing and
would have a runny nose for a couple of hours every morning.
He found that when he was taking Rezist Plus he wasn't having
that reaction when he woke up. It was only when he ran out of
Rezist Plus and stopped taking it and all of those symptoms
came back, that he realized that it was the Rezist Plus that
was helping him to avoid those allergic reactions every
morning. It's a wonderful product and I've told lots of
people who have allergies to try Rezist Plus. It certainly
has made a difference in my son's life."
-Lee Baxevadinis, British Columbia-
"I have been plagued with allergies all year round for most of
my adult life. I have had to use allergy pills every day for
the past 10 years and had tried to get off of medication, but
with no success...that is, until I started taking Watkins
Rezist Plus. I began to reduce my dosage of medication while
taking Rezist Plus, and now I am completely off of medication
and feeling a lot better while continuing to take Rezist Plus.
I take Watkins Rezist Plus everyday. When I have a reaction
to something in the air or environment, I take another dose
of Rezist Plus and within 30 minutes the reaction has
subsided. It's wonderful to see others expressions when they
see the difference. Thank you, Watkins, for making my
allergies more manageable with Rezist Plus."
-Debra Killam, New Brunswick-
