Cholesterol Herbs - Cholester-Reg® II

9/19/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Harnessing the power of unique ingredients, this natural formula supports normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.

Promotes healthy circulatory function

Supports normal-range cholesterol levels

​HOW IT WORKS
Policosanol is the term for a blend of medium-chain alcohols extracted from plants. Human studies show that policosanol can effectively play a role in maintaining cholesterol levels already in the normal range. This compound appears to perform like red rice extract in the body. Cholester-Reg® is a natural formula that contains policosanol and phytosterols. It has been formulated to support normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. Plant sterols compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Interestingly, excess plant sterols are not absorbed by the body but are eliminated. Additionally, the nutrient resveratrol helps to maintain LDL and triglyceride levels already in the normal range.

WHY CHOLESTER-REG® II?
The best products begin with good-for-you ingredients. And this unique blend is loaded with the kind of quality that delivers peace of mind. Cholester-Reg® II features ethically sourced, non-GMO botanicals and nutrients. Period. But the story doesn’t stop there. Our artichoke leaves grow on small farms in Europe where experienced collectors hand-cut and carry them to the farmyard where they dry in the sun. This same kind of care continues throughout every step of production, enabling Nature’s Sunshine to provide you with the finest products on earth.

THE STORY BEHIND CHOLESTER-REG® II
Cholester-Reg® II was launched in 2001 as a natural formula to support normal-range cholesterol levels in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. This blend utilizes plant sterols to compete with the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Interestingly, excess plant sterols are not absorbed but eliminated.

Anciently, the Greeks and Romans ate artichokes (or their cousins, cardoons) for targeted joint support.

Resveratrol was first discovered and isolated from a flowering plant in 1939. This was after researchers noticed that animals and insects eating certain plants lived longer. It took nearly 60 years for resveratrol’s powerful health benefits to become known to the world.

Policosanol came to light decades ago when researchers in Cuba began experimenting with its effects on the circulatory system. Since then, this sugar cane isolate has been studied and found to support the healthy management of lipids in mature adults.

RECOMMENDED USE
Take 1 capsule with a meal three times daily.CAUTION:Do not take this product if: pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant. Consult your health care professional before using if you are currently taking any cholesterol-lowering agents. Cholesterol levels should be checked regularly. For adults 20 years or older only. Keep out of the reach of children.

INGREDIENTS
Artichoke leaves, phytosterols, inositol nicotinate, resveratrol and policosanol.

Herbs for Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL

9/13/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Cardiox LDL
​
Several of our clients have had cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels that were out of balance.  CardioxLDL has helped them along with a good diet and plenty of exercise.
 
Patented. 
Clinically tested. 
Proven. 
 
CardioxLDL® gives you revolutionary, powerful, natural support for healthy cholesterol levels.
 
Clinically validated to modulate the oxidation of LDL cholesterol
​
Powerful herbal antioxidants synergistically enhance key ingredients

HOW IT WORKS
Support healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular function with CardioxLDL®. This unique and powerful herbal formula helps to modulate cholesterol oxidation and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. CardioxLDL® combines Citrus bergamia Risso extract with a proprietary blend of high-ORAC antioxidants that help support total cholesterol and triglyceride levels already in the normal range. It works in part by blocking an enzyme the liver needs to produce LDL® cholesterol. This unique combination of Citrus bergamia fruit extract and antioxidants naturally supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels already in the normal range.
 
WHY OUR FORMULA?
When you analyze this blend, you find a veritable rainbow of health-supporting colors. CardioxLDL® features the extract of Italian bergamot citrus for its powerful polyphenol content. Add in bright orange turmeric, deep green tea, extracts of seeds from dark red California grapes and dark purple mangosteen pericarp, and you can see why this patented blend and its powerful antioxidants have been clinically validated to modulate the oxidation of LDL® cholesterol.
 
THE STORY BEHIND CARDIOXLDL®
NSP scientists studying the molecular activity of cholesterol realized that oxidized LDL® negatively affects the healthy function of the cardiovascular system. So they set out to create a product designed to help reduce cholesterol oxidation. Our researchers analyzed phytonutrients to see which ones had the best effect on cholesterol production and oxidation. Bergamot, a type of sour orange, was a clear winner. Its naturally occurring antioxidants scavenge free radicals. We found a terrific source of bergamot in Italy’s Calabria region where our organically grown and hand-harvested fruit is simply bursting with polyphenols. We kept working and discovered a powerful blend of herbal antioxidants that synergistically enhance bergamot’s effects. A clinically studied, patented blend (US patent #10,434,131), CardioxLDL® naturally supports cholesterol levels in the normal range and modulates the oxidation of LDL® cholesterol.

Below is a picture of myself (on the far left) and colleagues who are taking our oaths as new Naturopaths in February 2023 at the annual Naturopathic Convention in Glendale, California.  Have you thought about becoming a Naturopath?  Do you see a Naturopath for your health needs?

I am currently serving on the board of the California Naturopathic Association as the Secretary and have a thriving business where I see clients in Auburn, CA.
Picture
What is Naturopathy?
According to California B&P Code 3613 (e), Naturopathy is defined very broadly as the following:   “Naturopathy means a noninvasive system of health practice that employs natural health modalities, substances, and education to promote health.”

Iridology and Electrodermal Screening
Here in California our rights are being threatened to practice iridology and electrodermal screening.  It is being said that we are diagnosing.  We all know that iridology does not diagnose.  We can see genetic tendencies and iris patterns in the iris of the eye.  We do not diagnose.  Electrodermal screening does not diagnose either.  In the past anyone who was not a licensed practitioner was at risk.  This might happen again.

Volunteer
We are looking for anyone who would be interested in supporting us to fight for our right to be natural health practitioners without having to constantly look over our shoulders and worry about out freedom to practice being taken away.  

Join Me
Join me and help with letters, phone calls, and even talk with your representatives if you wish about what health freedom really means to you.

Become a Member of the CNA
If becoming a Naturopath is something you're interested in, talk to me.  You don't have to be a Naturopath to join.  Join the CNA with me and we will work together.  Here is the link to view the web site:  californianaturopaths.com

Spotlight on Herbs: Blood Pressurex for High Blood Pressure and a Healthy Circulatory System

8/21/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Circulatory system support powered by an all-natural blend of olive leaf extract, grape seed extract, l-arginine, and vitamin E.

Provides herbal support for blood pressure already within the normal range

Supports a healthy circulatory system

​HOW IT WORKS
The main ingredients in Blood Pressurex are the powerful herbs Coleus forskohlii, olive leaf extract, hawthorn berries extract and goldenrod; the amino acid arginine; and the antioxidants vitamin E and a powerful, proprietary grape seed extract. These combine to provide herbal support for a healthy circulatory system. Grape seed extract contains an array of bioflavonoids, antioxidants and polyphenols. Studies suggest that grape seed extract may be beneficial for maintaining blood pressure levels and may contribute to overall cardiovascular health.

WHY OUR BLOOD PRESSUREX?
Designed to bolster healthy cardiovascular function within the body, Blood Pressurex was developed with the help of experienced herbal practitioners and ingredients selected for their exceptional quality and purity. We know because we’ve been to the source.

Nature’s Sunshine Quality Assurance staff audited our olive leaf supplier in Spain when we became their first customer in the western hemisphere. Sustainably sourced, and manufactured to GMP standards, our olive leaf extract is pesticide free, vegan and non-GMO.

Our grape seed extract comes from the impeccable vineyards of California’s Central valley. Certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, our partner boasts ISO9001 quality standards with full transparency and traceability. And in their dedicated facility, they use a patented hot water extraction process to take full advantage of natural grape seed micronutrients.

THE STORY BEHIND BLOOD PRESSUREX
Olive trees are among the oldest known cultivated trees, spreading throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean over 6,000 years ago. In fact, some trees have lived over 2,000 years! Before they can bear edible fruit, olive trees must mature, a process that takes between 65 to 80 years.

Grapes have a long history of traditional medicinal use dating back to ancient Greece. More recent research has focused on the potential of phytonutrients like resveratrol and proanthocyanidin that are found in the seed and skin of the grape.
Arginine was first discovered in the late 1800s, but it didn’t enter the limelight until much later. The discovery of nitric oxide’s pivotal role in cardiovascular health earned a Nobel Prize in medicine in 1998, making arginine an overnight star. Since that discovery 25 years ago, over 65,000 published papers refer to nitric oxide in some way.

Discovered in 1922 and identified as essential for the live birth of fertilized eggs, vitamin E was given the name tocopherol. It comes from the Greek words meaning “to bear offspring.”

RECOMMENDED USE
Take 1 capsule with a meal three times daily. 

CAUTION
Consult your health care provider before using this product if you are currently taking prescription medication(s). Do not discontinue use of your prescription medication(s) without your doctor’s approval.

INGREDIENTS
15 IU vitamin E, l-arginine, olive leaf extract, grape seed extract, coleus root extract, hawthorn berries extract and goldenrod aerial parts.

Cleanse in the Fall!

8/3/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Fall is right around the corner. Time to do a cleanse! Which cleanse should you do? There are so many cleanses out there from very easy and simple to very difficult and long. It's really up to you what you want to do.

Colon Cleansing
Retained debris in the colon leads to the absorption of toxins, resulting in systemic intoxication (poisoning). Symptoms of this condition can include mental confusion, depression, irritability, fatigue, gastrointestinal irregularities, and even allergic reactions such as hives, sneezing, and coughing. Many nutritionists and researchers believe that this toxicity can eventually lead to more serious disorders. Colon cleansing can rid the colon of debris, and help prevent and treat a variety of health problems.

Ivy Bridge's Colon Cleanse
Ivy Bridge: “The key to good health is getting nutrients into the blood stream. This happens once the bowels have begun to be cleansed” – Ivy Bridge
Ingredients
½ glass apple juice
2 tablespoons Aloe Vera Juice ($38.45 for 32 oz.)
2 tablespoons Liquid Chlorophyll ($23.90 for 16 fl oz.)
1 heaping teaspoon Psyllium Hulls ($31.95 for 45 servings)
Procedure
Combine in blender or stir with spoon. This mixture will thicken if allowed to sit, so drink it immediately. Follow with a full glass of pure, delicious-tasting water and two Cascara Sagrada capsules.
This drink should be taken first thing in the morning every day for 60 days. Thereafter, it can be taken every other day indefinitely.
NOTE: It is important to drink plenty of good, clear water, while on this regime.

Nature's Sunshine ParaCleanse
This includes 2 kits for 1 month. It's suggested to take program for 10 days on, 10 days off, then 10 days on again. Most of these types of herbal cleanses are for a length of 3 months.
Supports intestinal system function
May help improve bowel function
Cleanses and detoxifies
Comes in convenient individual serving packets
How it Works
Many people experience undesirable gastrointestinal effects as a result of activities that include: Traveling internationally, eating undercooked foods, drinking contaminated water, exposure to daycare centers, having a pet or use of antibiotic drugs. Fortunately, the herbal formulas included in ParaCleanse may help improve bowel function and support the body’s cleansing and detoxification process while also helping make the intestines inhospitable to foreign invaders.
Recommended Use
Take the contents of one packet (6 capsules) with breakfast and with dinner daily for 10 days. Drink one glass (8+ ounces) of water with the capsules.

Spotlight on Herbs - Adrenal Support

Spotlight on Herbs
 
Adrenal Support
Stock #1507 (60 capsules)

 
  1. The powerful blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and adaptogenic herbs synergistically support vital adrenal functions.
  2. Helps maintain adrenal function.
  3. Supports a healthy balance of stress hormones.

How it Works
Certain hormones in the body—called stress hormones—prepare the body to deal with stressful situations by increasing the heart rate and the force of contraction and blood flow to the heart, liver, and to skeletal and adipose tissue. These stress hormones are produced and regulated by the adrenal glands. They also dilate airways to the lungs and increase blood levels of glucose and fatty acids. The adrenal hormones and their functions are linked to virtually all of the body systems. Thus, many physiological processes and bodily functions, including cardiovascular health, sex drive, pH balance, skin conditions, energy levels, mood and overall psychological outlook often correlate to adrenal gland function. Adrenal Support is formulated with a unique adrenal glandular substance plus a synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and adaptogenic herbs that help support adrenal gland function.
 
Why Our Adrenal Support?
Adrenal Support combines a synergistic blend of adaptogenic herbs, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes with adrenal glandular substance to fortify the adrenal glands and bolster their function. As stress hormones produced in the body are regulated by the adrenal glands, it is important to provide a potent combination of ingredients to fuel their healthy function. Our superior adaptogenic herbs deliver neuroprotective properties, helping to provide natural support and balance to the nervous system, as well as help support a healthy balance of stress hormones in the body to ensure mental equilibrium and overall comfort.
 
The Story Behind Adrenal Support
Recognized as an element in 1755, magnesium was first isolated in 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy, an English chemist. Though it can be extracted from various minerals, magnesium is often obtained from seawater. In the 1930s, Hungarian chemist Albert Szent-Györgyi discovered and named ascorbic acid, which literally means “anti-scurvy.” Many sailors had suffered from scurvy on or after long sea voyages without access to fresh produce. Later Szent-Györgyi discovered rutin, a bioflavonoid nutrient that supports vitamin C’s activity. He won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1937 for his discovery and his description of oxidation. American biochemist and two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling studied scientific literature on vitamin C and became a true advocate for this nutrient, penning Vitamin C and the Common Cold in 1970. Ancient Greeks and Romans used licorice root for health benefits. Traditional Chinese Medicines relied on licorice to provide respiratory, digestive and reproductive system support. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, schisandra is known as the five-flavored fruit. Possessing a remarkable taste that is sour, sweet, bitter, salty and pungent, it has been used for centuries for its adaptogenic benefits.
 
Recommended Use by Nature’s Sunshine
Take 1 capsule with a meal twice daily.
 
From HART NSP Master Reference by Laura Clement, BA, CNHP
 
The adrenal glands play a critical role in the regulatory mechanisms that assist the body in adapting to stress. Prolonged stress—whether resulting from mental and emotional upset or due to physical factors such as chemical exposure, excessive exercise, malnutrition, sleep deprivation, surgery, or numerous other environmental causes—results in measurable changes in hormone levels and enzymes, as well as cardiovascular, immune and gastrointestinal functions. These systemic changes significantly contribute to many stress-related health problems, including the development of hypertension (high blood pressure) and atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, certain immune function disorders, and even deficits in memory and mental processes. Fortunately, animal and human research has identified a variety of nutritional and botanical substances that regulate and enhance the body's ability to respond to stress and may help prevent stress-related illness.
              
Adrenal Support contains a wealth of nutrients that are necessary for healthy adrenal gland function. Adrenal Support provides important vitamins, essential minerals and adaptogenic herbs that help improve the body’s ability to handle stress, protect against stress-induced oxidative (free radical) damage, enhance immune and nervous system functions, and combat stress and fatigue. Adrenal Support also contains adrenal glandular substances that provide additional nutritional factors to nourish and strengthen the adrenal glands. Adrenal Support contains:
              
Vitamin C is an important anti-stress antioxidant and vital nutrient for adrenal function. Vitamin C is more highly concentrated in the adrenal cortex than in any other organ, and when the adrenals are under stress, vitamin C levels are depleted. Experimental and clinical evidence suggests that supplemental vitamin C in levels significantly greater than the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) can support adrenal function and decrease high cortisol levels—elevated cortisol levels suppress the immune system. Likewise, animal research has shown that megadoses of vitamin C (equivalent to several thousand milligrams in humans) significantly reduces stress-hormone levels and other indicators of emotional and physical stress, including adrenal gland enlargement and changes in the thymus and spleen. Furthermore, vitamin C has been shown to improve the ability of the adrenal glands to adapt to surgical stress in lung cancer patients.
 
Thiamine (vitamin B1) acts as a coenzyme in the conversion of glucose into energy. Experimental and clinical results have demonstrated the effectiveness of thiamine in protecting the adrenal glands from functional exhaustion secondary to surgery. In addition, positive results of experimental and clinical studies have shown that supplementation of thiamine in doses much higher than the RDA can support adrenal gland function. Furthermore, thiamine is essential for healthy nervous system function and has been termed the "morale vitamin“ as a result of its beneficial effect on mental attitude. For example, 4 double-blind studies demonstrated an association between improved thiamine status and elevated mood, while a study of 120 young adult females found that improvement in thiamine status correlated with reports of participants being more clear-headed, composed and energetic—these results were demonstrated in participants whose thiamine status was "adequate“ according to traditional standards.
              
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is essential for endocrine health and functions as a necessary component in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins for energy. Riboflavin also plays a role in maintaining glutathione, one of the body’s most important antioxidants. Glutathione protects the adrenal cortex against a large number of toxic chemicals. Consequently, depletion of glutathione contributes to the development of chemically-induced adrenocortical necrosis (the death of adrenal cortex cells). Thus, riboflavin deficiency can result in enhanced oxidative stress, as well as a lack of stamina and vigor, due to mitochondrial dysfunction (disrupted energy production).
              
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) is essential for growth and maintenance of nearly every body function. Vitamin B6 is necessary for the conversion of tyrosine (an amino acid) to dopamine, an adrenaline precursor. In addition, vitamin B6 is vital for normal adrenal function—experimental and clinical studies show that vitamin B6 supplementation in doses significantly higher than the RDA support adrenal gland function. Furthermore, vitamin B6 status significantly affects the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and GABA, which control anxiety, depression and pain perception. Unfortunately, human studies indicate that the bioavailability of vitamin B6 from natural food sources is limited. Vitamin B6 is converted in the liver into pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), the metabolically active form of vitamin B6. Individuals with poor liver function may not be able to adequately convert "inactive“ forms of vitamin B6 (such as pyridoxine hydrochloride) into PLP.
              
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) - A close correlation exists between tissue levels of pantothenic acid and the functioning of the adrenal cortex—animal studies show that pantothenic acid is highly retained in the adrenal tissues. Pantothenic acid participates in nerve transmissions and in the production of adrenal hormones that control the body’s reactions to emotional and physical stress and the "fight-or-flight response.“ Pantothenic acid can also improve the body’s ability to withstand stressful conditions. Based on animal and human trials, pantothenic acid supplementation is important in order to maintain adequate levels in individuals under stress—evidence indicates that adrenal cortex function is compromised when there is a deficiency of pantothenic acid derivatives and metabolites. Furthermore, pantothenic acid deficiency can lead to adrenal atrophy, characterized by mental depression, fatigue, headache, sleep disturbances, abdominal discomfort and nausea, and motor nerve dysfunction.
              
Magnesium demonstrates a protective effect against stress-induced physiologic damage. Research has shown a negative correlation between magnesium balance and oxidative stress—chronic stress or injury reduces magnesium levels and simultaneously increases the intensity of oxidative stress upon the body. Magnesium deficiency also increases the risk of stress-induced cardiovascular damage. In addition, magnesium deficiency has been shown to impair vitamin B6 status. Furthermore, animal studies have found that magnesium deficiency decreases specific immune response and accelerates the progressive degeneration of the thymus.

Allergy Relief

With allergy season in full swing, be prepared with Nucleic's Liposomal C.
​
Contrary to popular belief, Vitamin C is not an immune system "booster". We do not want to "boost the immune system", as this can cause unfavorable side effects, such as inflammation and worsening allergy load. 
 
Vitamin C, especially in a Liposome, has been shown to regulate or "modulate" the immune system. Modulation of immunity is key, as it up-regulates lowered immunity and down-regulates heightened immunity. Think immune system adaptogen!
 
Most practitioners of other brands use 5000 IU to 10,000 IU of Vitamin C to get a response. The Liposomal activity cuts this in half, as it bypasses the alimentary canal where most brands are lost. Practitioners have reported good outcomes in acute cases using a dosage of 4 teaspoons of Nucleic Liposomal C.
 
Just another way Nucleic gets you to the core, to the Nucleus.
 
Here's why Liposomal Vitamin C should be part of your Apothecary this allergy season. 
  • Vitamin C helps inactivate  Histamine and Mast Cell reactions.
  • Targeted Liposomes help delivery, going exactly to receptors that need inactivation such as TH1 and TH2
  • Bronchial Hypersensitivity Inactivation (Asthma, Reactive Airway Etc.).
 
Areas of Research
  • Immuno-Modulation
  • Allergies
  • Degenerative Conditions
  • Epinephrine/Dopamine Regulation
  • Neuronal Antioxidant (Stroke, TBI, Memory)

Vitamin C and Liposomal Technology Vitamin C has multiple beneficial physiological effects. These include antioxidant properties, synthesis of catecholamines, formation of collagen, facilitation of iron absorption, and support with the processing of many hormones, enzymes, and amino acids. In a recent clinical study, it was demonstrated that oral delivery of Liposomal Vitamin C produced circulating concentrations of vitamin C greater than those elicited by oral delivery of Non-Liposomal Vitamin C and has the added ability to cross through the Blood Brain Barrier.

Immuno-Modulation Vitamin C affects various aspects of the immune process. Its high concentration in leukocytes, its rapid utilization during infection, and its depression in clinical situations associated with reduced immunologic function have suggested a role for the vitamin in the immune response. There is evidence that Vitamin C is involved in several neutrophil functions, including chemotactic responses, phagocytosis, hexose monophosphate shunt activity, myeloperoxidase function, and cyclic GMP levels.

Degenerative Conditions Research suggests that high-dose vitamin C kills degenerative cells. New studies show some degenerative cells with low levels of catalase enzyme activity are much less capable of removing hydrogen peroxide formed by vitamin C, than normal cells, and are more susceptible to damage and death when they are exposed to high doses of vitamin C.

Norepinephrine/Dopamine Regulation Vitamin C functions as a neuromodulator for dopamine and norepinephrine. A deficiency of Vitamin C is associated with significant increases in dopamine levels and similar relative decreases in norepinephrine because normal amounts of dopamine could not be metabolized into norepinephrine. Liposomal Vitamin C is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier to regulate dopamine and nor-epinephrine levels.

Neuronal antioxidant support Studies show Vitamin C is a vital antioxidant. Vitamin c has shown promise in its high antioxidant role against ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntingdon's disease. 

Stroke Several studies found that a low vitamin C status in humans is associated with increased mortality rates from stroke, and plasma Vitamin C concentrations are decreased in stroke and critically ill patients. This data on antioxidant depletion suggests that there is significant oxidative stress associated with brain injury.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Oxidative stress is linked with many psychiatric conditions including PTSD. Vitamin C has successfully attenuated memory impairment and all changes observed in oxidative stress markers induced by PTSD.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) TBI is an acquired brain injury that occurs when there is sudden trauma that leads to brain damage. There is evidence that a secondary injury from TBI is specifically related to oxidative stress. By incorporating antioxidant support with Vitamin C, clinicians can help attenuate oxidative posttraumatic brain damage and optimize patients' recovery.

Memory In a recent study vitamin C administration successfully attenuated memory impairment and all of the changes observed in oxidative stress markers. Oxidative stress is associated with neuronal damage in many brain regions including the hippocampus; an area in the brain responsible for memory processing.

Happy Mother's Day and May and June Specials

Happy Mother's Day to You!!!!

Mother's Day Around the World:
While versions of Mother’s Day are celebrated worldwide, traditions vary depending on the country. In Thailand, for example, Mother’s Day is always celebrated in August on the birthday of the current queen, Sirikit.
Another alternate observance of Mother’s Day can be found in Ethiopia, where families gather each fall to sing songs and eat a large feast as part of Antrosht, a multi-day celebration honoring motherhood.
 
In the United States, Mother’s Day continues to be celebrated by presenting mothers and other women with gifts and flowers, and it has become one of the biggest holidays for consumer spending. Families also celebrate by giving mothers a day off from activities like cooking or other household chores.
 
At times, Mother’s Day has also been a date for launching political or feminist causes. In 1968 Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther King Jr., used Mother’s Day to host a march in support of underprivileged women and children. In the 1970s women’s groups also used the holiday as a time to highlight the need for equal rights and access to childcare.​

My name is Mara Bramante. I live in Italy. I would like to thank both Brenda and Chris for all the assistance they gave me before and after receiving my SD8004 Super Digital Iridology Camera. The camera takes such clear precise pictures, and above all, it is really easy to use. I have recommended the same SD8004 to 3 Italian colleagues, and I am proud to say that they are just as satisfied as I am.
