reducing the risk of heart disease.
These kits are available at:

There is also a chart so you can track your progress! If you are taking
Guggul Plus
or our Heart Plus
products – fill these out and send them in! We just might want to interview you
for our newsletter if you had success in lowering your cholesterol levels!
Guggul Plus Is A Winner According To Many Members
It has been almost a year since introducing our new
Guggul Plus
product -- with guggul, hawthorne berry, and policosanol.
We were debating about doing another production run, and decided to get some
feedback on this product.
You see, Guggul Plus did not exactly catch on like wildfire over the last
year.
We wondered if it was the price (guggul and policosanol are both expensive
ingredients).
We wondered if it was scant awareness of these three heart-healthy
ingredients (okay, we admit it, we can get spoiled by how knowledgeable our fair
members are and perhaps didn’t do enough education).
More importantly, we wondered if members who tried Guggul Plus had been
dissatisfied.
So, this kat posed the question of “paws up or down?” to our Guggul Plus
buyers. A significant majority told us “paws up” (and/or please “keep it”)!
Here’s what some of our members said:
- “I'm a medical intuitive, and very often I find that products from Our
Health Coop are the best remedies available for the people who consult with
me...I have found Guggul Plus a very effective and safe way to bring
[cholesterol] numbers down, and certainly a far better alternative that
statins and their concomitant liver concerns. I, and many of my clients,
would be sad to have Guggul Plus no longer available.” Timothy
- “I really do hope you don't discontinue -- my husband takes it and he
got within a range to make his statin-obsessed doctor happy! I have started
another friend on it also. Please reconsider.” Norma
- “The Guggul Plus is the ONLY product I took for the last year to help
lower my total cholesterol reading. I went from 258 down to 228 in one
year’s time. I am really proud of this accomplishment.” Marilyn
- “I am in favor of keeping it. I got off of Lipitor and am using
Guggul Plus to replace it.” John
- “You must promote this product more. Cholesterol is such a big problem,
and this product works. You have to hammer away on this point.” Doug
Well, we always say “it’s a community” and “we need your help” to keep our
prices down. So, thank you to all who responded with such detailed comments!
To the many fans, you’ll be happy to know that we will continue to offer this
product!
Heart Plus: Supports Health Cholesterol Levels Too!
Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel laureate and Ph.D., had a few words when it
came to cholesterol and heart disease.
As you may remember from Mike Ciell’s paper
“One Pharmacist’s View of Coronary Heart Disease,” Mike compares
Pauling’s “Unified Theory” with the cholesterol-fixated “Lipid Theory.” Pauling,
in conjunction with Dr. Matthias Rath, suggested that plaque (sticky
cholesterol) does not form randomly in the bloodstream.
Pauling and Rath proposed that nutritional deficiency was the cause for
stress, tears and cracks in human blood vessels and this deficiency makes way
for plaque to come to the rescue.
Pauling and Rath identified three deficient nutrients: vitamin C, L-lysine,
and L-proline. They found that these critical nutrients could actually heal
blood vessels, improve blood flow, and reduce cholesterol plaques (blockages).
Not a small feat for a relatively cheap combo of these totally awesome nutrients!
And, our Heart
Plus provides all three of these important nutrients in one handy
formula. No wonder Heart Plus is consistently in our “Top Ten” list.
If you have not read Mike’s paper, or it has been awhile, I purringly
encourage you to check out the

Updates For Inquiring Minds
Yes, I know, I owe you some updates on Stephen’s wedding, the big surprise
Teri received on her birthday cruise, and a few other gossipy human stories.
Sometimes a kat just has to hold a few cards and build a little suspense.
Stay tuned, my friends!
Still purringly yours,
