MARCH-APRIL 2001

While reading our magazine, you may notice that we cover a subject thoroughly. Arthritis is the subject in the “My reference” chronicle. As always, this detailed article will help you acquire new knowledge on the disease, the recommended plants and the possible treatments. Since fasting seemed unanimously accepted as a therapy by traditional and herbal medicine practitioners, we have made it the subject of our “What’s new" chronicle? I have recently come across a three year study, done on 212 patients suffering from arthrosis. This study rigorously demonstrated that supplements of glucosamine sulphate inhibited the deterioration of cartilage, relieved pain symptoms and stiffness, and improved joint function of the persons affected by the disease. Furthermore, the American Arthritis Foundation agrees that these supplements may be considered as a valuable treatment, on the same level as conventional medical treatments. I was convinced long before reading the article. But sometimes... it feels good to be told that we were right! Each March, many companies put new products on the market. Products with specific properties that improve our physical appearance for the beautiful days ahead. This year, we are starting the trend with our new product “Profil”. I will not say anymore, and invite you to read its description on page 12. Also, don’t miss our pictures of the Nicaragua trip with the winning distributors of the best ranking distributors contest. Pleasant reading to all Jacqueline B.Blouin
