			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost everybody that has walked though our door in the last few weeks has had from a mild throat tickle to full blown lung congestion.  Nearly everybody that did a <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="ZYTO Balance" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/services/zyto-balance/"><span style="color: #3366ff">ZYTO</span></a></span> Biosurvey this last month had lung show up as one of their seven organs in the Foundational Biosurvey.  Most often the biological preference for lung/sinus congestion was Taxus Immune<span style="color: #999999"> <em>(previously Wild Yew Complex)</em></span> and PneumoVen <span style="color: #999999"><em>(previously Lung Complex)</em></span>. If your issue is more sinus based you might consider Allicidin, whereas if its more lung based PneumoVen might be more effective.  This may be the nutritional support your body is looking for.  We hope you have been attending our <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Events" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/events/"><span style="color: #3366ff">free seminars</span></a></span> and reading our blog &#8220;<a title="Reference Points in Good Health" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/blog/"><span style="color: #3366ff"><em>Reference Points is Good Health</em></span></a>&#8221; and are learning to PREVENT illness by QRA testing your food and body products.  Contamination in food is a major vector for illness &#8211; make sure you are testing the products and food you think you trust!</p>
<p>So testing your own food and body products and only using those that test strong for you is a potent way to prevent illness.  A second way is to take Premier HCL and HCL Activator after meals<span style="color: #999999"> <em>(contraindicated with ulcers)</em></span> as it will &#8220;sanitize&#8221; your meal after you eat it as HCL kills infection from food in the stomach before it moves deeper into your digestive tract.  Also HCL helps break down the meal you just ate so it is easily digested and excreted, which might help reduce or eliminating constipation.  If you don&#8217;t have adequate levels of HCL in your stomach food sits, rots and ferments in the gut setting up your internal terrain to promote pathogenic growth, once again setting you up for illness, and a fat belly!</p>
<p>Vitamin D3 is another good nutritional strategy &#8211; we highly suggest you ask your doctor to test your vitamin D3 levels &#8211; and a whole bunch of you will test very low.  Vitamin D3 is extremely important for the mucosa of the body and when your levels are in range you will ward off many colds and flus.</p>
<p>To boost your immunity supplement with Nucleo Immune <em><span style="color: #999999">(previously Nucleotide Complex)</span></em> and/or Colostrum-21 <em><span style="color: #999999">(previously Colostrum Complex)</span></em>.  Avoid processed foods and white flour/white sugar products as they are devoid of nutrition and utilize your body&#8217;s resources to process through you.  Eat deep leafy greens, as wide an assortment of veggies as you can, whole grains, fruits and try to eat at least one raw food meal per day.  Check our <a title="Calendar" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/calendar/">calender</a> for our free seminar this month with Chef Joni about the difference between <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Eating for Health" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/events/17/eating-for-health/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff">Eating For Health and Eating for Pleasure</span></a></span> &#8211; make your reservation as this one will fill up quickly.</p>
<p>Exercise is also a great strategy to keep your lymph moving and your immune system purring.  Even if it is just a 20 minute walk around your neighborhood each day you will be building your health.  Check our calender for the March free seminar &#8220;<span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Nutrition &amp; Exercise Advice to Shed Those Extra Pounds" href="../events/18/nutrition-exercise-advice-to-shed-those-extra-pounds/"><span style="color: #3366ff">Nutrition &amp; Exercise Advice to Shed Those Extra Pounds</span></a></span>&#8221; on the topic of exercise!</p>
<p>To keep you healthy this month we want to offer a newsletter special! Mention the code &#8220;get well&#8221; and receive a <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="ZYTO Balance" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/services/zyto-balance/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff">ZYTO</span></a></span> Biosurvey for your foundational health and an Immune Biosurvey at the special rate of $ 30.00 (normally $ 45.00).  This will give you and your family an affordable check up to stay well! <em><span style="color: #999999">Offer good through close of business Wednesday, February 29, 2012.</span></em></p>
<p>We are on the cusp of introducing some brand new modalities here at The Reference Point so keep in touch.  We are committed to bringing you the best alternative healing options for your health plan. We want to stay in touch with you so we can teach you how to take charge of your health!  When you come in there just isn’t enough time, or money, to teach you all that you need to stay in charge of your health. So we offer <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Free Monthly Seminars" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/events/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff">free monthly seminars</span></a></span> so we can take the time to teach you.  Maximize your work with us by attending our <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Free Monthly Seminars" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/events/"><span style="color: #3366ff">free seminars</span></a></span>, reading our blog &#8220;<a title="Reference Points in Good Health" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/blog/"><span style="color: #3366ff">Reference Points in Good Health</span></a>&#8220;, and reading that big white binder we give you at the beginning of your program with us.</p>
<p>Thank you once again to our &#8220;Pay-it-Forward&#8221; benefactor for donating a gift certificate for use with us.   I can tell you it was beautiful to watch as one person won the gift certificate and passed it to a less fortunate person and told him &#8220;you need it more&#8221;&#8230;what if we all thought that way? We also have a wonderful client, Ramona, who has graciously donated another ZYTO hand cradle. This will allow us to offer ZYTO Balance Scans long distance to truly help those in need. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">So you wonder where your libido went&#8230;you remember intellectually what it feels like to have a sex dri<a href="../files/2012/01/Girl-with-puckered-lips.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1196" src="../files/2012/01/Girl-with-puckered-lips-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="204" /></a>ve, but your body just can&#8217;t remember how to get there?  Take heart,  you are not alone!  The level of stress most of us are under is causing our adrenal glands to be in overdrive chronically creating a high demand for adrenaline.  The body will convert sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) into cortisol to keep up with the demands of the adrenal glands.  Testosterone is a big player in arousal for both men and women.  Women need to have adequate estrogen levels to keep their libido.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Premier Research Labs has a great product to nutritionally feed your libido and that is <strong>Testosterone Complex</strong>, best used along with <strong>Liver-ND</strong> to assure your liver is conjugating hormones properly.  You will also want to consider <strong>AdrenaVen</strong> (formally Adrenal Complex) to feed your adrenals and calm your whole stress mechanism down.  Think of your primal brain, when you are chronically stressed it thinks you are in mortal danger&#8230;as if you were being chased by a dinosaur, and do you think your body will activate your sex drive while you are being chased by that dinosaur?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><a href="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2012/01/WWII-Kiss.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1202" src="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2012/01/WWII-Kiss-207x300.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="246" /></a>We also have a very affordable product from Christopher Herb called Libido Formula and I highly recommend it as libido food.  Christopher&#8217;s <strong>Libido Formula</strong> or PRL&#8217;s <strong>Testosterone Complex</strong> can be boosted with hormone cream for tougher cases.  We carry <strong>Female</strong>, <strong>Male</strong> and <strong>Adrenal</strong> herbal creams for hormone balance and have an herbal <strong>libido cream</strong> from our hormone lab for a bigger boost.  Those with extreme stress or severe hormone imbalance will be interested in our <a title="Hormone Testing" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/services/hormone-testing/" target="_blank">custom hormone testing</a> through saliva for individualized cream formulation.  <a title="Contact Us" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/contactus/">Contact us</a> for detailed information on hormone testing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">In the meantime there are foods that can help boost libido (source <a title="Ten Super Foods to Boost Your Libido- NaturalNews.com" href="http://www.naturalnews.com/022992.html" target="_blank">naturalnews.com</a>).  Enjoying an active sex life is essential to our well being, and the foods we eat play a large role in ensuring we feel in the mood.  Some of the foods that can help turn us on include:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify">
<li>• <strong>Pumpkin seeds</strong> &#8211; Pumpkin seeds are one of the few foods that contain zinc, which is vital for testosterone production in men.  A deficiency can make a woman completely lose her sex drive.  These yummy seeds are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital to overall sexual well being.</li>
<li>• <strong>Goji Berries</strong> &#8211; In Asia, goji berries are known as a strong sexual tonic.  They increase testosterone levels, which stimulates libido in both men and women.  Furthermore, they improve overall stamina, mood and well being, all of which are vital for an optimum sex life.</li>
<li>• <strong>Maca</strong> &#8211; This is one of the new superfoods out that can improve performance and alleviate impotency.  It increases sperm count and testosterone levels in men.  It makes people desire sex more frequently, especially women.</li>
<li>•<strong>Bananas</strong> &#8211; Give a boost to male libido.  They contain an enzyme called Bromelain which is important for sexual health.  They are also a good source of B vitamins which increase the body&#8217;s energy levels and the sex hormones.</li>
<li>•<strong>Celery</strong> &#8211; This sexual simulator boosts a powerful substance known as androsterone, which is an odorless aphrodisiac in male perspiration.</li>
<li>•<strong>Avocado</strong> &#8211; Avocados help to increase both male and female libido.  They contain very high levels of folic acid, and give the body sexual energy.  Avocado is also high in vitamin B6, which is a potent hormone regulator.</li>
<li>•<strong>Bee Pollen</strong> &#8211; Bee pollen can help boost the sperm count.  After all, it is made from millions of particles of a semen-like substance.  Pollen&#8217;s role in nature is to fertilize.</li>
<li>•<strong>Asparagus</strong> &#8211; Asparagus is very high in vitamin E, which is a vital nutrient for good sex.</li>
<li>•<strong>Chillies</strong> &#8211; Capsaicin, which is the substance that give chillies their heat, releases endorphins and other &#8220;feel good&#8221; hormones necessary for a spicy sex life.</li>
<li>•<strong>Basil</strong> &#8211; Basil increases circulation, stimulates the sex drive and boosts fertility.  This tasty herb cultivates a sense of wellbeing,  which allows one to experience sexual bliss.</li>
<li>•<strong>Figs</strong> &#8211; Figs are very high in amino acids, which is critical to increasing libido and boosting sexual stamina.</li>
<li>•<strong>Garlic</strong> &#8211; Garlic contains high levels of allicin, which can improve blood flow to the sexual organs.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify">Eat your way back to a healthy libido&#8230; and supplement where needed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Blessings,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Happy New Year!</strong> May this be a year of peace, prosperity and conscious positive change.  The new year is a time we feel we can start anew and make positive change.  Many of you have the goal of eating better in 2012 because you realize that food is the KEY to radiant health, and our food is so degraded that it doesn&#8217;t contain the nutrition your body needs to thrive.  Clients ask me, &#8220;will I always test for remedies, am I ever through?&#8221;  The answer is always the same, yes &#8211; you will always test for nutritional support eating inferior food!  If you were to eat food that is grown from heirloom seeds in proper “alive” soil, it will contain adequate nutrition and you will test for very little nutritional support.  Most clients struggle with just improving their diet, little own growing their own food or hunting down the most nutritious food&#8230; But food continues to degrade in nutritional delivery so you need to rethink what you are willing to do in your commitment to health!  We here at The Reference Point are committed to your health and believe training YOU to be able to identify superior food &#8211; and only eat it, avoiding toxic nutrient weak food due to your own prowess.  We begin our free lecture series this year with teaching you to QRA test food and products to determine what is good for your body and is most bio-compatible.  YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS&#8230;more and more of our food is genetically modified (GMO) and grown in inferior non-rested soil that is nearly devoid of minerals.  If you don&#8217;t put gas in your car it ceases to work as does your body when it is not provided with adequate fuel.  Come learn to determine for yourself what food is &#8220;good&#8221; and empower yourself to take charge of your health.</p>
<p>In February we have the honor of guest speaker Joni Sare, chef extrordinaire &#8211; to teach us about what good nutrition really is and has programs of her own to educate YOU on how to shop for food and how to prepare it the most nutritious way!  Stay tuned for our March lecture when our very own Catherine teaches us about embracing proper exercise.  We&#8217;re dedicating our <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Events" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/events/"><span style="color: #3366ff">2012 Seminar Series</span></a></span> to knowlege you can use to stay healthy! Visit our schedule for upcoming topics and dates on our website.</p>
<p>And what is this I hear&#8230; many of you don&#8217;t realize we have a blog?!?!? Please visit our blog &#8220;<span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Reference Points in Good Health" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/blog" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff">Reference Points in Good Health</span></a></span>&#8221; for lots of great nutritional tips and natural methods to better handle day to day ailments.  I am not able to teach you enough during our QRA testing time (too expensive for much more than testing) so our free lectures and blogs are intended to fill you with the knowledge you need to combine with your nutritional program to achieve optimum results.  To test for less nutritional products you need to have excellent nutritional intake.  To the degree you lack good food nutritional intake is the degree of how many nutritional supplements your body will test for during QRA.  That big binder we give you at your first QRA is packed full of life changing information so sit down with it&#8230;this is wisdom from Dr. Marshall and is chocked full of easily learned tools to further improve your health.</p>
<p>We can help you achieve your goals if you are willing to take responsibility for your health and put a little extra time into learning and implementing health protocols.  Take a look around you, how many of our children having mental deficits&#8230;look at how many of our elderly have dementia or neurological problems&#8230;it&#8217;s a major reflection of the lack of minerals and nutrition concentration in our food.  None of us want to &#8220;lose it&#8221; in our senior years&#8230;you can take immediate action to reduce your vulnerability!</p>
<p>For those of you taking your health seriously enough to be reading our newsletter we would like to offer a Newsletter readers special:  Mention the &#8220;Mineral Special&#8221; and you will be able to book a<span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="ZYTO Balance" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/services/zyto-balance/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff"> ZYTO</span></a></span> session for a Foundational Health Biosurvey and a Bone, Joint &amp; Ligament Biosurvey to determine any foundational nutritional and mineral weaknesses for $ 30.00 (normally $ 45.00) through January.  Dr. Marshall says the number one nutritional weakness in Americans is mineral deficiency so this is a great opportunity to determine what nutritional supplementation your body wants.</p>
<p>To your health!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the time of year where we tell others what we want.  So in keeping with providing gifts that people want &#8211; and the ONLY way to truly know what you want is to ask. So we at The Reference Point are asking you&#8230; <strong>What do you want from us?</strong>  To best understand your answers, we have created an online survey asking:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px">• What topics would you like to see in our free lecture series, blogs and newsletters?  We want to offer what is most of interest to our clients and community so please let us know your ideas.<br />
• Do you enjoy guest speakers at our free lectures?  We have had the privilege this last year to have had a guest speaker from Positive Nutrition, or the Cell Power folks, and a raw foods Mom that taught us how to start incorporating more raw foods into our diet.  From what area of holistic health would you enjoy seeing guest lecturers?<br />
• What kind of changes could we make at The Reference Point to be of more or better service to you?  We want to be able to service all people, so how can we better accommodate you?  Do you want in depth seminars that will teach you in detail?  Do you want to improve your health but it is all too expensive so you would like for us to develop some economic alternative programs?  Do you want more extensive programs?  Would experts offering their services through us be helpful?<br />
• How can we improve our services to be an even better experience for you?  We believe we have a great team in place, do you agree?</p>
<p>Please be proactive in the world.  We all need to express what we want to the world around us&#8230;don&#8217;t make those around you wonder what you want or have to be psychic to give you what you want.  TELL THEM!!!  Once people know what you want they can choose to meet your needs (it&#8217;s a match between you) or not meet your needs (not a match &#8211; look elsewhere to get your needs met), and everybody is clear &#8211; it creates an understanding between us all.  It allows clarity and people can have more honest clean communication and it allows for open minded change.</p>
<p>So be an active participant in our community and fill out our survey by December 31st.We, in turn, will give you a discount off your next order or service to say thank you <span style="color: #999999">(limit one per customer. Coupon will be emailed January 2nd 2012)</span>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center">Happy Holidays from all of us at The Reference Point!</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center">May wonder fill your mind and blessings fill your world!</h3>
<p>What do you really want for yourself and your family going into the new year? Many people have experienced loss this year; loss of a job, loss of money, loss of security, loss of self-esteem and I could go on and on. I am a firm believer in being careful of what I focus on. No matter what horrible thing that has gone wrong in your life in 2011 put it OUT OF YOUR MIND and <strong>focus on that which you want</strong>. Lot&#8217;s of folks can make a very long list for you of what they <em><span style="text-decoration: underline">don&#8217;t</span></em> want &#8211; but find themselves at a loss to make a list of what they <span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>do</em></span> want. You have to define what you want to ever have a chance of getting it. <em>How can you ask or pray for something if you don&#8217;t even know what you want?</em> Here are some guidelines to help you achieve a prosperous 2012:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"> • <span style="color: #a851a8"><strong>Do</strong></span> something new and different for the new year, define what you want. What salary do you want? Write that down. What new experience do you want in your life? Write that down. Do you want to heal a disease or condition or do you want to feel younger and more full of life? If you want to feel younger and more full of life please make your reservation to attend our free lecture this month &#8211; <span style="color: #3366ff"><a title="Beauty, Anti-Aging and New Years Resolutions" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/events/15/beauty-anti-aging-and-new-years-resolutions/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff">Beauty, Anti-Aging &amp; New Year&#8217;s Resolutions</span></a></span>. I invite you to join me in the &#8220;Anti-Aging Challenge&#8221; as I am going to turn 55 in February so want to do a little energy boosting and tired reversing protocols and I would love some company!!! I am going to share secrets for reversing the years and looking 10 years younger in a short amount of time&#8230;without plastic surgery!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"> • <span style="color: #a851a8"><strong>Change</strong></span> habits consciously by joining us next year for education from a raw foods chef and other experts to maximize your diet. People constantly ask me how to reduce the amount of nutritional products they test for and my number one answer is to improve their diet and take the nutrition directly. Watch our website and communications over the next year as we are committed to getting you real food so you can have outrageous nutrition! Dr. Marshall is committed to you having real food and very soon we will teach you how to have much more nutrient dense food.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"> • <span style="color: #a851a8"><strong>Vow</strong></span> to do the things you love. Put some thought into what makes your heart sing and make a list of all the things you love to do. How can you work even small increments of time doing what you love into your schedule? This will re-energize you, make you happy at a soul level and allow you to make more impact in the world. Learn to think differently and know that making time to do what you love is one of the best uses of your time possible. The return is more willingness to be present everywhere else in your life with much less resentment or resistance.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"> • <span style="color: #a851a8"><strong>Give</strong></span> gifts this year that liberate people, gifts that create more independence for the ones you love. Put lots of thought into it. How about a Lifeline or an &#8220;I&#8217;ve fallen and I can&#8217;t get up&#8221; necklace to an elderly family member so they can more safely live on their own, cooking classes for a recent male divorce, computer classes for grandma to bring her into this century, gifts that empower people. If you don&#8217;t have the capital to buy gifts, never forget that homemade gifts are from the heart and are always loved and appreciated like that great pumpkin bread or cookies!</p>
<p> Set yourself in motion to believe better than what you see around you in the world right now. Believe bigger and better than what you see. If you can&#8217;t do that find somebody to help you think and believe differently. That would be a great present to yourself, and YES it is okay to buy a present for yourself! Maybe a Personal Coaching session at The Reference Point is the best gift for you to dump the baggage from the past and open up a space to create something wonderful and new in you life!<a href="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/12/snowflake-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1155" src="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/12/snowflake-1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="166" /></a></p>

<p>We want to thank our anonymous <a title="Pay it Forward Benefactor" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/blog/ay-it-forward-benefactor/" target="_blank">Pay It Forward benefactor</a> for providing another donation that we raffled off at our free lecture in November. We love you for your generosity.</p>
<p>Also, we apologize for the nightmare our parking lot can be! There is a tutoring center downstairs and many of the parents stop and drop off children blocking traffic or abandon their cars all together and walk their children into class. We spoke to the landlord regarding the danger and inconvenience to our clients and he gave me the solution to have all of us <em>politely honk</em> our horn and let the person idling or absent from their car know they are holding up the entire parking lot so they can park in a space or quickly move along. Thank you for your patience.</p>
<p>Thank you to all of you that support us at The Reference Point. Thank you for believing in us and referring us to your family and friends. May you have beautiful holidays and a wondrous new year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we think of Thanksgiving, we all have the mental picture of a turkey and stuffing and lots of interesting family favorite dishes, relatives enjoying each others company and a grateful prayer.  Thinking deeper into this time of year, what I feel is true thanksgiving is a moment in time where you really take personal inventory of what you are grateful for, and dwelling on what a gift it is to receive and have; <em>The energy of that realization and holding that frequency is one of the most healing things you can do for yourself and the rest of the world.</em>  You become part of the solution by being in a loving grateful state of mind and out of that loving grateful state of mind you will act more lovingly and create harmony.  Also bathing your cells in the frequency of loving gratitude heals them &#8211; and you can look up lots of scientific experiments that support my line of thinking &#8211; that is a wonderful exercise!</p>
<p>Imagine the possibilities if we focused daily on what we are grateful for and bathe ourselves in this great frequency and act from that space&#8230;would that be world changing???<br />
<a href="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/Praying-squirrel.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1131" src="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/Praying-squirrel-300x223.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></a><br />
Find new things each day to focus on and generate your healing frequency&#8230; I am grateful for the fat bellied squirrel in my backyard &#8211; his perfect little seams of fur make me smile.  I love it that squirrels exist, and my body, and the opportunity to be conscious on this planet, for experience itself.  Think of new things each day and you&#8217;ll find there is so much to be grateful for you won&#8217;t have time to focus on any negatives!</p>
<p>Many blessings to you and your family this beautiful time of year,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everybody has experienced a bout of diarrhea with the intestinal flu or food poisoning, but the experience of chronic diarrhea can be a life changing deal breaker.  People start avoiding life, staying home and becoming reclusive.  This is a problem that nobody ever wants to discuss and there is only so much Imodium you can take!  So what can you do?  The odd thing is many times chronic diarrhea can be chronic constipation!  You may be chasing the answer to diarrhea and you haven&#8217;t even considered you may actually need the answer to constipation!  How can this be you ask?  Consider, if you will, constipation as a blockage (many times from poorly digested food) and as this blockage or compaction becomes hard, the digestive juices actually can force their way past the log jam and it appears you have diarrhea.</p>
<p>A little test for constipation:<a href="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/Probiotic.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1037" src="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/Probiotic-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="168" height="253" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>• Do you have a bowel movement for every meal you eat?  Three full meals a day should produce three bowel movements in a 24 hour period.</li>
<li>• Eat some corn (non GMO of course) and take note of how many hours (or days) it takes before you see the corn in a bowel movement. You want to see the corn clearing your body within 12 hours for proper transit time or no constipation.</li>
<li>• When you have a bowel movement and it takes any pushing &#8211; you&#8217;re constipated.  If the stool is hard &#8211; you&#8217;re constipated.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Poor digestion is most often the cause of constipation such has a lack of hydrochloric acid (HCL) or digestive enzymes.  Interference fields are often a player in constipation.</p>
<p>Then there are the cases where the person has chronic diarrhea.  A parasite or H. Pylori infection can easily cause chronic diarrhea.  But often chronic stress is the core cause of diarrhea.  The adrenals control the water content of the bowel, so if you are stressed out of your mind your diarrhea may respond to adrenal support.  Calming down the fight or flight response can allow the body to return to balance and regulate the consistency of the bowel.</p>
<p>If you have had antibiotics, especially if you have had multiple courses of antibiotics in your life, your diarrhea may be a cry for probiotics to &#8220;replant&#8221; the good flora and fauna in your gut.  I have seen some cases that required 20 capsules per day for a couple of weeks to balance the bowel and stop the diarrhea.</p>
<p>Quite often you may need the assistance of a professional to determine if you are suffering from constipation or diarrhea and what exactly you need to remedy the situation.  Quite often if you focus on eating really well, take digestive enzymes before and HCL after a meal, support your adrenals and use probiotics to balance gut ecology you will find the resolution you are seeking.</p>
<p>Blessings,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/D3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-980" src="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/D3-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="108" height="163" /></a>Snap, crackle, fall. Here comes rain, cold and dark days.  Start supporting your immune system with super nutrition like Colostrum or Nucleotides, one or two capsules of either (or both), can make a huge difference in preventing illness. Along with the ever impressive Vitamin D3 (I take 12 drops per day) can provide the best defense against colds and flu.  Ask your doctor to test your vitamin D3 levels (most people that have not been supplementing are low), and if you are below mid range consider Dr. Marshall&#8217;s Premier D3 Serum.  This vitamin D3 is pure and contains 2,000 IU&#8217;s of D3 per drop.  Vitamin D3 has also been proven prophylactic against breast cancer!</p>
<p>If you have school age children you really want to bolster their old immune system as they tend to bring home the &#8220;cooties&#8221; of every kid in their class.  Try to eat more alkaline as &#8220;cooties&#8221; (pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and fungi) love an acidic environment or terrain.  Be sure to be testing your pH every three days or so to be assured your urinary pH is between 6.4 &#8211; 7.0 or your salivary pH is between 7.1 &#8211; 7.5.  We carry both saliva and urinary testing paper for your convenience.  If your pH is low, you need to start on a product to help &#8220;push you&#8221; more alkaline such as Premier Coral Legend or Cell Power.  Using one or the other or both (Cell Power is less expensive but requires a larger water intake), measure your pH every three days and if you are not in range, increase dosage on coral or Cell Power slightly and test again in three more days.  Never exceed three teaspoons of coral calcium (Coral Legend) or 45 drops of Cell Power (used 2 ounces of water for every one drop of Cell Power).</p>
<p>Nutritionally to get your pH back on track cut out junk foods, white flour products, white sugar products, refined and enriched &#8220;dead food&#8221; products.  Increase raw or lightly steamed vegetables, fruits such as blueberries and raspberries and consume whole grains instead of hybrid mixes.  Avoid caffeine (VERY acidic) and alcohol.  Eat more simply with less fat (cook with coconut oil) &#8211; enjoy raw food at least one time per day.  Stay away from preservatives, chemicals, genetically modified foods, Aspartame and &#8220;natural flavors&#8221;, hormone and antibiotic additives, and MSG.</p>
<p>Join us this month for our free lecture &#8220;<span style="color: #993399"><a href="http://thereferencepoint.com/events/12/your-herbal-medicine-cabinet-things-to-keep-on-hand/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #993399">Your Herbal Medicine Cabinet</span></a></span>&#8221; and learn what you can do to stock up and be ready for emergencies, colds and flu, rashes, the beginnings of illness and other nagging human problems.  How can you holistically treat hemorrhoids?  What about those moles and skin tags?  Poor digestion &#8211; you will NEVER have a flat stomach with poor digestion!!!  Here at The Reference Point we LOVE to empower you to take care of yourself and your family!  We are a community of holistically minded people that share for the good of all &#8211; join us and learn from us and the other people attending as they share their knowledge and experience.</p>
<p>Once again I have to thank our &#8220;Pay it Forward&#8221; secret benefactor for a gift certificate donation that was raffled off at our last free lecture&#8230;YOU ARE A BLESSING AND WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OR REFERENCE POINT AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT AROUND HERE!!!  Imagine, one of our clients donated money to be converted into a gift certificate for us to raffle off to one of our lucky lecture attendees&#8230;and this person is anonymous!!!  Wouldn&#8217;t it be wonderful if each of us did something to really help another once a week or so!  We make the world around us by the way we act and treat each other.</p>
<p>For our loyal newsletter readers we are offering a special this month &#8211; mention the words &#8220;Immune Special&#8221; and you will receive a Foundational scan on our ZYTO Balance, along with an Antioxidant scan and an Immune scan for the special price of $ 30.00 (usually $60.00) through the month of November!  We want you to find out what foundational nutrition you are most lacking so you can supplement EXACTLY what you need, as well as any Antioxidants you are lacking and the Immune scan to find your body&#8217;s &#8220;biological preference&#8221; to clean up the immune system and support it nutritionally.</p>
<p>We are working with Tri-Cities League of Volunteers in sponsoring <span style="color: #993399"><a title="Toy’s for Tots" href="http://thereferencepoint.com/blog/toys-for-tots/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #993399">Toys for Tots</span></a></span> this holiday season and have a toys collection tub in our lobby.  <a href="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/toys4tots.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-981" src="http://thereferencepoint.com/files/2011/11/toys4tots-300x127.gif" alt="" width="182" height="76" /></a>If you would like to make a difference in a child&#8217;s life this holiday season consider donating a new toy to this wonderful campaign.  There are so many destitute families in the Tri-City area this year that can&#8217;t afford food for their kids let alone toys for the holidays. This is a great way to reach out to your community members in great need.</p>
<p>We would also like to request some testimonials from our clients for our waiting room binder and website.  It really makes other people feel comfortable when they read testimonials from other clients that have already been through what they are considering exploring.  We know nobody has spare time these days, but if you could just take a moment and share what your experience has been like here at The Reference Point, what symptoms have been relieved through this work, how it has improved the quality of life.  You can always do an anonymous testimonial by putting your initials such as B.P. from Fremont, CA if you don&#8217;t want your name shared.  We thank you in advance &#8211; another way to share and care about others around you &#8211; help people make decisions based on your experience and understanding.  You can mail testimonials, email them, FAX them or come on over and hand them to one of us!</p>
<p>From all of us here at The Reference Point we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you ponder everything you are grateful for in your life&#8230; <em>that is the important part of Thanksgiving!!!</em></p>
<p>Many Blessings,<br />
<em>Anankha</em></p>
