Your Pet and Moringa!!



Good Moringa!
Meet Big Ben, our 12 year old
Rottweiler.
He is not only our pet but our protector and friend.
Like many dog owners, I am in love with Ben. He's my Prince Charming, standing tall and handsome, ready to defend my family and me against any foe.
After his Aunt Betsy died last year, we completely changed his diet and saw an immediate change in his overall attitude (he is used to getting his way), health (he is always an active dog) and appearance (he is so handsome). We took him completely off all manufactured dog food. Now, I know looking at a 120+ pound Rotti that might seem like a silly thing to do especially considering his huge appetite. But, his health was worth the experiment. After all, if Moringa helped me, why wouldn't it help our dog!
So, we make him whole grain brown rice, mix in ground beef, carrots, a few potatoes and top it off with a nice teaspoon of Moringa. We make it ahead of time and scoop it out into his bowl twice a day. AND, HE LOVES IT! He is lean, mean and ah so clean. He's doing so well. He actually thinks he is young and we're not going to tell him otherwise.
Don't forget your pet when it comes to good health. Add Moringa to their diet and see a difference too. They will thank you with love and devotion.

Love,
Michelle and Ben... woof!

Moringa ... the water clarification agent!


Good Moringa:
I received a wonderful thank you note from high school student, Miss Morgan Bartz. We had sent her some seed cake for her science project on clarifying water. It was a wonderful experiment and read below in her own words how it all turned out!!

"Dear Michelle and Mariko,
I wanted to thank you again for donating Moringa Oleifera for my science experiment. I used it to clarify various contaminated solutions in my experiment titled "The Rale of Natural Flucculants on the Purification and Clarification of Contaminated Water."
Not only did M. Oleifera work, but my experiment placed at my regional fair with distinction!!
Eventually, I ended up winning the Connecticut Stockholm Junior Water Prize and I traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, this past June to compete at the national level!
I competed with students across the country with other water-related experiments, all while enjoying the Alaskan landscape!
Ultimately, I did not win the U.S. Stockholm Junior Water Prize, but none of this would have been possible without your kind donation!
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Morgan Bartz
Age 17, Bethel, CT

Congratulations Morgan!!! So, if it helps clarify contaminated water just think what it's doing for your body? Moringa is the detoxification agent for your blood stream. According to MadSci Network, "Babies have the most water, being born at about 78%. By one year of age that amount drops to about 65%. In adult men, about 60% of their bodies are water. Adult woman because of their body fat difference, 55% of their bodies made of water."
How about we get the most out of the water in our own systems...Drink Moringa!! Help your body do what it does best, keeping you healthy!!

The Drumstick Tree a.k.a. Moringa Tree



Good Moringa:
Today, I was at the farm and to my complete surprise, all of our Moringa plants are in full
bloom! Each tree is boasting beautiful seed pods and flowers. I am posting these pictures because everyone will clearly see, how the Moringa Tree got one of its nicknames: The Drumstick Tree.
Some trees have about 30 pods, while others had pods and gorgeous flowers. I couldn't help
taking a picture surrounded by all this beauty. All I could do was say: Thank you!!
Moringa, beautiful to look at! Moringa, full of life and health. Moringa, what a miracle.
See all our products at www.moringaforlife.com. You won't be disappointed.
Oh by the way, I'm having the young pods for dinner! They are like green beans but oh, so much better! I'll tell you all about it.
Love,
Michelle

Attention Soft Drink Lovers... find a new love in Moringa


Good Moringa:

Attention Soft Drink Lovers!!
"The excess phosphate found in soft drinks depletes your magnesium... Long-term magnesium deficiency may manifest as depression, irritability, heart problems, weakness, poor coordination, nausea, vomiting, and tremors." Miracle Tree by Monica Marcu.
Did you know that? Just think, if you went to the doctor about depression or heart problems, they would prescribe a certain drug for the relief of this ailment without ever asking you if you drank a lot of cokes or other soft drinks.

Why, do you ask, is it important? "Magnesium is similar to calcium in many ways. 60% is found in bones and teeth, and the balance is found mostly in the muscles." It is so important because it plays a "vital role in processing energy as well as a relaxing ion for the nervous system and blood vessels." Which means, it fights stress, irritability and high blood pressure.
Because the soft drinks depletes your magnesium in your body, it is so important that you consume a higher amount than recommended in a normal daily diet.
Could it be that maybe that is why you are so anxious? Maybe that is one of the reasons why you feel depressed! It's the soft drink you consume!!!
How to get more Magnesium in take? Make a yummy Moringa Tea. Add the Moringa Leaf Powder to your foods, such as salad or soups (after they have cooked). Moringa has Magnesium along with all the other amazing nutrients!! Eat more fruits! Eat more green vegetables!! That's how!
I thought that was really interesting. Here's a challenge for you! Change your intake of soft drinks and see how much better you'll feel. Then, tell me about it.
So, what about Diet Soft Drinks? Not only do you suffer from the Magnesium
depletion from the phosphates but also the host of other problems from their
"sugar free" chemicals, Aspartame, to just name one out of the lot.
I found so many articles describing the side effects from the artificial sweetener Aspartame in Diet Drinks. It is said to be linked to the same symptoms as M.S. (Muscular Dystrophy)!!!
I found a woman that stopped drinking her diet drinks after she was diagnosed with M.S. Her left leg had gone numb and she as well as her doctor thought it was the onslaught of M.S. She underwent a host of tests. Then, a friend told her all about the findings of Aspartame in diet drinks. She decided NOT to take the M.S. medication and only stop drinking all her diet drinks. Three months later, she returned to her doctor for an examination. The doctor told her that the medication must be helping her condition because of her much improved state. She replied that she didn't take the medicine. It was because she stopped drinking diet drinks. !!!!
I hope you can find a new love in drinking water or fresh lemonade or iced Moringa tea. It will definitely make you feel better all the way down to your bones. :)

Antioxidants and Moringa


Good Moringa!
I have had many people call me and ask if Moringa has any antioxidants and what do they do?
The answer is YES, YES, Yes!
Antioxidants are very important to your health! Here are some of the antioxidants so far found in Moringa. The reason I say "so far" is that Moringa is being studied by scientists and doctors and they expect many more pleasant surprises to come!
"Moringa contains powerful antioxidant vitamins such as Vitamin C, E and A (pro-vitamin A as beta carotene). Moringa has essential micro nutrients with antioxidant activity or directly linked to this process: selenium and zinc. Moringa (leaves, seeds and pods) contains other phytochemicals with known powerful antioxidants ability such as kaempfero/guercetin, rutin and caffeoylginic acids," written by Ms. Monica G Marcu - Pharm.D., Ph.D. ; her book "Miracle Tree."
So, what does this all mean? It's actually fascinating to me.
Every day, inside our bodies unstable molecules called free radicals are being produced. Actually Millions of them. It's from day to day wear so to speak. It's caused from the food we eat, our stress and the environment. Think of them as tarnish or oxidation to the body.
These free radicals run a muck in our system causing us to age and be susceptible to germs and diseases. They run us down, energetically and emotionally. The mighty Antioxidants act to STOP the harmful effects of the free radicals at all levels. The Antioxidants donate the electrons necessary to stabilize and deactivate the damaging radical. It's awesome!!!
What is really fascinating is that the Moringa contains so many natural antioxidants that actually work together for better health. And, they are water soluable - which means... easy for our system!
Let me give you an example... The flavonoids or a type of phytochemicals in Moringa are: Quercetin that works to prevent tumor growth, inflammation and allergic reactions. The Rutin strengthens the blood capillaries, supports the body to utilize Vit. C. and helps maintain the protein collagen that keeps skin healthy and elastic (helps prevents AGING!). The Caffeoylquinic Acids treats the liver and gall bladder, bile increasing (which is vital for digestion) and cholesterol reducing and a diuretic.
BUT, together, like a really, really good marriage, the Quercetin, Rutin and Caffeoylquinic Acids work together beautifully to become better!!! They eliminate cholesterol from the body naturally thus strengthening the blood capillaries (the tiniest of vessels), treats your liver for a healthier system.
Remember when your mother said "EAT YOUR GREENS!" She was right!
Now, I know some of you are a Doubting Thomas or like my mother, she always wants empirical proof. I say BRING IT ON! Go to Pubmed.org for all the latest research.

I think it is really interesting that we easily believe everything the news reports without empirical proof. I also think it is really interesting that the same corporations own the media to report on a "new" disease, own the research labs that diagnosis of the "new" disease, own the pharmaceutical companies that sell the medicine for the "new" disease and the F.D.A. approves the drugs only to pull them off the market after a certain amount of people suffer horrible side effects or worse, die.

Nature has been our best friend since the beginning of time. Trust her. Grow Moringa! Eat Moringa!
Live better with Moringa! www.moringaforlife.com
Love,
Michelle


The antioxidants are compounds that are called Flovonoids

Breast Cancer and Moringa


Good Moringa:
I was listening to a woman on the radio this morning that was talking about Breast Cancer and that she was angry because "they" still don't know what is causing it.
My sister in law is free from cancer but she lost a breast. I hate that. Cut it out and get rid of it, is the doctor's motto. However, is that really the answer?
I have been thinking a great deal about woman's deodorant and breast cancer. The stuff is toxic! It is aluminium based and it goes on our underarm where we sweat. How about when
we shave and then put on the aluminium based product? It goes through our pores and even in the exposed areas from shaving for a double hit.
Now, I am not saying don't shave. I am not trying to scare anyone. What I am saying is; when did we give up our freedom to take care of our own bodies? When did we say we agree with all that awful stuff they are putting in our deodorants and beauty products? When we buy their products, we say yes. We say okay! Why doesn't it matter that there is a link between the measured aluminium content in the breast tissues to the higher incidence of tumours?
I just typed in Deodorants and Breast Cancer as my search words and a huge list of pros and cons came up. Check for yourself.
So, my solution is easy. Take control of you and what you put in your body and on your body. We have Moringa Seed Powder that is a wonderful deodorant! AND guess what, it doesn't contain any aluminium or any other particles that I can't pronounce.
I use it and I use it every other day! That's right! Every other day. It's anti-fugal and my family also uses it in their shoes to keep them fresh.
You can purchase the deodorant by itself or in a wonderful package that includes our soap and lotion and facial mask. Try just one item or try them all. The investment is small but the results are HUGE!
They are made with love by woman who truly care. US! Mariko and I! We're not some big corporation that is trying to make their stockholders happy and fat.
Love,
Michelle
