Iron absorptionAs we know, iron deficiency or iron anaemia causes fatigue and can be common mainly in women. The best way to determine lack of iron is to have a blood test as you don’t want to supplement unnecessarily. An overload can be dangerous to the heart and liver. Include more lean beef or ham, tofu, pumpkin seeds, spinach, chickpeas and molasses in your diet or find an iron supplement that is chelated to prevent supplemental constipation. Remember if you are taking vitamin E take it away from your iron and avoid smoking, soft drinks, tea and coffee. These adversely affect iron absorption.

Course a boost for natural medicine
By Maria Slade
An Auckland training institution has begun the country's first degree in naturopathy, a move welcomed by the natural health industry as a further step towards legitimation....The degree course would cover basic medical science such as anatomy, physiology, pathology and health assessment, and students would be trained to know when to refer patients for more sophisticated treatments. Lani Lopez, one of New Zealand's few degree-qualified naturopaths, gained her qualification from an Australian university by correspondence. She said that 10 to 15 years ago there was "a definite line" between naturopaths and orthodox mainstream medicine. Now doctors would ring her to discuss a patient's treatment. Lopez said traditional medicine could only do so much for some chronic illnesses and people were using supplements to manage their conditions alongside prescribed pharmaceuticals.

NOTE: Yes, we are selling the resveratrol mentioned in this story right now! (Res-V Plus) the reference to it being available in five years refers to a pharmaceutical drug based on resveratrol. Their wording is quite misleading of them but fairly typcial of the pro pharma news networks

Alice
Worsley- Breakfast Newsreader Big 106.2 FM Auckland

"I have been taking Res-V Plus for several years now and Lani's latest product Multiva for the last six months. Being in Breakfast Radio requires getting up early which contributes to tiredness and feeling run down from time to time, so having these products on board each day helps to contribute to my general wellbeing.

I have been a great admirer of Lani’s knowledge when it comes to good health and respect the tremendous amount of research that goes into each of About Health’s Products, and the fact they are made with New Zealanders' health first and foremost"
