We had to get this out before the holidays for many reasons, but the main reason being the American soldiers who can use some Holiday mail. Please check out the list below: Soldiers in Iraq.

Our Thanks

I want to thank all the people who’ve been sending us donations. You really helped pay the bills this past month. I was in shock at the generosity of a handful of people, and I just want you to know how much you have helped make a difference.

For your generosity, this huge newsletter is our Holiday Gift to all of you.

In This Newsletter (hey, it's a block buster!)

We've found some powerful immune boosters that will be better for you than any flu shot, PERIOD.

We've reviewed many new products and they are all in this edition.

Many have asked to see my latest photos, so we're posting them here this issue.

And we've found a painless way to support this site. It's a search engine. Our newsletter gets read by over a quarter million people each year. If all of our readers use this search engine just a couple of times, we'll be in the black very quickly.

Simply go to www.goodsearch.com and where it says:

you can fill in International Wellness Directory. Or you can read more about this here: How to Help us using GoodSearch. With a quarter million hits to our newsletter, if every time a person opened our newsletter went to GoodSearch and made a search in our name, we'd be out of debt in a no time.

This newsletter came out awfully fast, so if you didn't get a chance to read the most important articles of our last newsletter, here they are again:

UV Light - Introduction

UV Light - Versus Chlorination

UV Light - Photoluminescence Therapy

New Product Name

As we told you in our previous newsletter, we will be selling a new probiotic product for your drains. The good bacteria, cleans the gunk off your drains; the only waste product is water.

We put out a call for names and Marilyn from the state of Washington took the prize with: Gobble de Goo.

NOW we need a graphic artist. We'd love to see the letters of Gobble de Goo in bright yellow, with the first G gobbling (much like Pac Man, but he's owned.)

Any takers? You'll get a bottle of Gobble de Goo ( a year's supply) the moment we start selling it. Just send me a note: Gobble de Goo Artist.

2006 Elections

All the volunteers here want to thank the American public for getting out to vote. The results of your actions are truly historical. More incumbents were sent home because of this election than any other in our history.

We've taken back our government, now it is time to take back our country.

And, NO, I am NOT for impeachment. There is just too much work to get done. We have to fix the voting system so that every vote is counted and there are no doubts about the outcome of any election. There is much to do, and the Republicans are enormously relieved that they did not outlaw the filibuster.

We must end corruption, tip the scales back to the side of the most important class in our history, the middle class, and raise the minimum wage.

Oh yes, and stop spending money we don't have.

Oversight: what a wonderful concept.

One more thing: health freedom will always be under attack from both the right and left. We would like to think that the left would be for the individual but sadly many on the left still promote policies that take away individual rights and support a failing and corrupt medical system. Sadly, many on the left think that our medicine is science run, when in fact, it is run by money and our science is the science of the highest bidder. If you want to understand how our medical system has become the monolithic monopoly it is today and how the FDA, AMA, and drug interests all hopped in bed, read this: Health Care for Dummies, or How the Rich Got Richer While the Sick Got Sicker.

Our Next Newsletter

Because I get a lot of letters asking me about my photography and the programs I use, we are going to review for you a good number of software programs (for the PC) that I’ve been testing and reviewing. There are some great programs out there. After that, since I use a lot of DVD programs on which I put many slide shows, I’ll review for you some DVD editing programs.

When we receive complaints, we listen. It seems that some of our readers who have bought from one of the sites supporting us thru an affiliate program has not lived up to their promises. Ironically, I've discovered the same thing, and after a recent experience with them, followed by two letters from readers complaining about this same company, we have dropped them from our web site and sent them the following letter:

To Whom It May Concern:

Our organization has been an affiliate of yours for at least eight years. However, your sales practices are less than ethical and we are dropping you as of today.

Every time we’ve purchased from your organization, we’ve had troubles getting our rebates. Every time.

We’ve received complaints from our readers. They too can’t get their rebates.

We recently made a purchase from you of 4 external hard drives for backing up our computer. They were sold with a rebate. However, it was not until AFTER the purchase that we found out the rebate was good for “one per family.” Before purchasing we read everything on your site about the rebate looking for a limit and we found none.

This is fraudulent; equivalent to “bait and switch.” We have documented the entire experience and it should be passed onto our State Attorney General’s office, but I’m not in the mood to jump through hoops.

Additionally, we were notified that we did not qualify for the rebate because the barcode that we sent them was the wrong barcode (it belonged to a different product). The really interesting point here is that we took ALL 4 BARCODES from ALL 4 DISK DRIVES and included them. All 4 were incorrect? We returned the entire purchase.

Your company’s ethics are less than honorable. We will apologize to our readers for advertising for you, publish this letter for them to read, and end our connection to your organization refusing to purchase from you ever again.

Sincerely,

David Bonello

Our promise to our readers is very simple. We bring you the best, unbiased wellness information. Any company associated with us had better live up to the standards we've established, or say "bye."

I have another story for you.

Tom was a fisherman living on the northern Pacific Ocean in British Columbia, Canada. At one point in his life, he decided to grow shell fish. He invested his savings and built himself a shellfish farm where instead of feeding them the standard shellfish feed other farms fed theirs, he sunk a pipeline some 80 feet below the water’s surface and invented his own “extraction” technique to begin growing his own plankton. The plankton was a specific type of phytoplankton called Spring Bloom. He built up his farm to produce enough plankton, 365 days each year, to feed his shellfish with a surplus left over to recycle it back into the ocean, which has had the blessed side effect of rebuilding the reef beneath their farm, drawing in Sea Otters, Bald Eagles, and new fish and sea life.

A second unexpected effect of his home grown phytoplankton was in the size of his shellfish. They were immense compared to his competition. The local environment was blooming, animals were repopulating, and his gigantic shellfish were thriving, what could possibly go wrong?

How about Mesothelioma?

Tom was told he had a few months to live. The usual cycle each cancer patient experiences set in and Tom was filled with anger, fear, depression, denial, and acceptance.

One day, while contemplating the remarkable size of his clams, two to three times the size of his competition, he stuck his fingers into the plankton and licked them clean. Soon he was eating his plankton. It had worked wonders for his clams. He said to himself, “I’m dying anyway so what have I got to lose?”

Tom was an insulin dependent diabetic. Was is the key word there. Today he no longer needs his insulin. Oh, and his cancer seems to have disappeared.

His doctor’s have performed eleven biopsies and every one came out cancer clear.

Tom can’t say positively that the plankton saved his life or that it cured his cancer. His daughter who had a hypoactive thyroid tried the plankton and went from a size 12 dress to a size 8 in four months. She can’t say it was the plankton, but it was the only change in her habits.  

Tom no longer raises shellfish. He now produces phytoplankton for human consumption. It’s called UMAC (Unique Marine Algae Concentrate) CORE, and their web site is: www.umac-core.com.

Phytoplankton is unlike any vitamin, herb, or supplement, or even a food. Phytoplankton is complete primitive nutrition. It’s the bottom of the food chain. It requires no co-factors, because it is complete and balanced. Most vitamins and minerals require cofactors to work their best.

Elements and electrolytes in marine phytoplankton are almost tailor-made for the human body. The amniotic fluid in which every one of us developed resembles sea water.  Much about the human body is like the sea and nourishment from the sea consisting of essential amino acids, more omega 3's than fish oil, vitamin A, iodine, selenium, and a host of vitamins and minerals in their most absorbable and usable form helps to repair our bodies, re-balance our systems, and re-energize everything from the cellular level on up.

Here is a list of everything found in UMAC CORE:

I and a few close friends first tried the product and then passed samples onto people with low energy levels. One person noticed a rapid improvement in energy. He loved everything about the product. Another person, having just miraculously survived an enormous brain hemorrhage and who was still recovering, felt nothing, however, it was a long shot here, and we didn’t really expect stupendous results. She did, however, tell us that her appetite and outlook improved over the time she used it. Another person lost two pounds in the month she was on it and she wasn’t dieting.

Let your food be your medicine, is our guide line here at the International Wellness Directory. And this might just be the perfect food. We are pretty sure that any illness from chronic to acute can benefit from this perfect food.

Organic Germanium in its solid form is a crystal, and, of course, one of the most fundamental properties of Germanium is its semi-conductor nature, its ability to donate and receive electrons easily. Many of organic Germanium's healing properties may be due to its intrinsic electronic qualities. [ Germanium - The health and life enhancer, Chapter 14]

We’ve already reviewed Ron Salley’s creams, but of all our favorite products we’ve discovered here, these have yet to take off. Ron Salley should be a multimillionaire by now. However, Ron recently reported back to us that the number of sales created from our write-ups are hardly significant.

Hardly significant? I must be his best customer.  

Because we believe so much in these creams, because we’ve seen what they can do, and because the results are just short of miraculous, we’re going to tell you even more about them.

Every car, boat, plane, home, and first aid kit should have a bottle of Healon PF in it. This is a simple fact. I never go anywhere without a bottle in my car.

In 1977 Ron Salley produced his first moisturizer. His aim was to create a perfectly natural, perfectly harmless, safe, and effective moisturizer. He refused to use any petrochemicals, emulsifying additives, or chemicals that no one can pronounce. In other words, everything he uses is edible (though you will probably not like the taste).  If it shouldn’t go in your body, it shouldn’t go on your body.

Shortly after Ron began marketing his moisturizer, he started getting calls telling him how scars, sores, etc were vanishing. A surprising side effect of his moisturizer was that it had healing properties. This excited Ron and he began a quest to enhance his line with more products for healing.

Today he is constantly re-formulating his creams. I know this because some of the first creams/lotions we initially received from Ron no longer exist.

Ron began his company with research. He studied herbalism and found those herbs he wanted to use, but he felt that most processing methods didn’t result in something he wanted. An alcohol extract still had alcohol in it and he did not want to add that much alcohol to his products because it is very drying, though he does add a little alcohol to his ASC specifically for the drying properties.

Most distillation procedures heated the product so high that they damage the phytochemicals in the original herb. Ron was told there was no way to do what he wanted to do; pull the good stuff out without modifying or damaging the phytochemicals.

In the early nineties, after years of testing, Ron found success.

You will see Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca) listed as an ingredient in one of Ron’s creams, but it is not the same Tea Tree Oil you can buy anywhere on the market. Commercial Tea Tree Oil isn't anywhere close to Ron’s Tea Tree Oil. Ron's Tea Tree Oil is distilled in a very low temperature, a very slow process, according to Ron’s specific instructions.

All of Ron’s ingredients are prepared, distilled, or processed using Ron’s own methods, which are slower and costlier than standard methods.

Some have written to me asking why Miracle Skin products are so expensive. This is why:

All of the herbs and oils used in Ron’s products are the highest grade, most expensive; all the phytochemicals have been pulled from the original herbs in a process designed specifically by Ron according to his standards and his research.

You get what you pay for, and this is why Ron’s creams are just short of miraculous.

Healon PF is antibacterial and antiviral. Ron cannot say this. He hasn’t got the billions of dollars required to get FDA approval to say this. However, we have proof; enough proof for ourselves. (Ron keeps bottles of his products on shelves for years and tests then later to discover if they’ve gone bad or have degenerated in any way. His oldest bottle, as of last year’s testing, was seven years old. It was bacteria free and had not degraded in any way.)

We have watched them work on bacterial infections, viral infections, and fungal infections.

Healon PF

I think it is best that we show you the before and after pictures of wounds healed with Healon PF. They are just short of amazing. Doctors using it have not only reported back to Ron on some of the miraculous healings they’ve witnessed, many have started selling it to their clients under their own personal labels.

Here is a letter from one physician (with before and after pictures included):

I hope you have been impressed with the pictures of Richard M that I sent. Richard is a yard worker who had modified a weed eater tool; when he started it, it literally "blew up" in his face. This occurred on May 30, 2005. He cam to my office on June 1, 2005 (see picture #1 [note: we've put both pictures, the before and after, together]) and sought treatment for the burns to his face. He refused referral to a plastic surgeon for treatment and stated that he would only allow me to treat him. I was grateful for his confidence but, at the same time, I was fully aware of the seriousness of his injury. An injury to the nose, with its underlying cartiliginous structures, can, sometimes, provide a poor prognosis; cartilage does not heal well and, in fact, he was facing the possibility of a loss of a body part.

I chose to treat him with the product (Healon PF) by having him apply it twice daily and return to my office in two weeks for follow-up. I informed him that he could return at any time if necessary. He returned to my office three weeks later (the "after" photos) and I was absolutely astounded! He has had no adverse effects from the product and, as you can see, in his eyes, he is quite happy. I spoke with him today and he is overjoyed that the product was available to him. I feel blessed to have the product for my patients. I will continue to use the product and will send other photos of "before and after."

I look forward to working with you in the future and I will make every attempt to convince my peers to give the product a trial in their practices.

Sincerely,

Next we have a case of diabetic sores. Normally, most physicians would amputate at this state. Ron has received many testimonials from people who thought they were about to lose their toes or feet, only to have them miraculously healed in just under a month. On the right (click to see the full version) you will see before and after shots of toes that would have routinely been amputated, but after just two weeks are on their way to healing perfectly.

This next set of four shots shows how a wound healed up in just nine days using an early form of Healon. Click on the thumb nail to see the the full sized picture.

This next picture is amazing. A young lady had surgery leaving a terrible scar on her face on the hair line. As you can see, (click on the thumbnail to see the full size) the scar has practically vanished after just 38 days, and hair is growing on the scar.

Plantar Warts

Look up Plantar Wart on the web and you will see that it is caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The HPV virus has been connected to cervical cancer and venereal warts. Though there is now a vaccine for the HPV, apparently it doesn’t affect the brand that caused Plantar Warts.

If you have a Plantar Wart, you can give it away in the shower or even to people who wear your shoes. It’s a virus. It is transmitted thru contact.

Ron had someone use his Healon PF on a Plantar Wart. In less than two weeks, she reported back to Ron that the wart had gone away. Ron asked me to try this and sure enough, I'd had a friend who has suffered from Plantar Warts on her feet since her teens. For over four decades, she’s had these things on both feet.

I sent her a bottle and told her it’s free as long as she took some before and after pictures. Now we could publish the before and after pictures to show how the wart on one foot disappeared in under two weeks. The pictures show this, but it’s not the whole story, and I’d be guilty of the sin of omission if I just left it at that.

Yes, Healon PF has proven itself to be antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, but viruses are funny things. When I was in Pre-Med I learned that viruses often change when they are attacked; they change and they adapt. This is what has happened to my friend. The wart ran to a different part of her foot. She applied the cream there and it ran to the top of her foot. Healon PF is chasing the virus all around her foot. Whenever I contact her, the wart has moved somewhere else. Neither Ron nor I have ever heard of this, but we have now, and my friend updates me monthly on where the plantar wart has moved to. However, the really good news is that on one foot, the wart is completely gone.

I’ve personally seen Healon PF work on herpes. Herpes is a virus. I’ve seen it clear up a herpes if used at first sign, and if you don’t catch it at the first sign but still apply Healon PF, the wound heals faster than if just left to itself.

Diabetic Wounds

We announced that we had some free bottles for anyone with diabetic sores. They were snatched up immediately and everyone used them with good results. Did anyone order another bottle? Nope. Every person who got the Healon PF reported back that their diabetic sores healed up in under a month, most of the time in just two weeks.

Nothing else we have ever heard of can do this. Stubborn sores, wounds, black and blue marks are just not a match for Healon PF.

When your sores go away, they go away. It seems that the people who used the bottles didn’t think they needed more (just in case), or for their first aid kits. Once again I was in shock to learn that no one who had used it successfully had ordered another bottle.

Ron feels that one reason he's got no orders is that you use so little that there is still a lot left in the bottle.

There is nothing on the market that heals diabetic wounds better than Healon PF. Wounds that just won’t go away are a breeze for this stuff and just short of miraculous.

Sugar Foot

There is no cream on the planet like Sugar Foot. I have given samples to people who put it on deep, painful cracks in their feet, and overnight, the pain is gone.

Then, do these people order it? Nope. Why order it when the pain is gone?

Sugar Foot is the best moisturizing and healing cream I’ve ever seen. It has been used successfully on heat rash (arm pit heat rash), diaper rash, cracked and dried skin of nurses who wash their hand numerous times in the dead of our dry winters, cracked and dried nipples of nursing mothers, jock itch, athletes foot, and of course dried skin on your feet with deep, painful cracks. The healing begins overnight on deep cracks. The pain is gone by morning. This is just a simple fact. All you have to do is try it. And yes, it’s very expensive because it’s very good. When people have given up; they’re tired of trying everything, sure enough, this stuff works.

The difference between Sugar Foot and Healon PF as far as healing properties go, Healon PF you must SHAKE THOROUGHLY, and it has a sting to it, especially if you put it on tender skin. In the summer I will sometimes get a bit of jock itch because I love to run and play tennis for hours on end and then go somewhere instead of hitting the showers. I have used Healon PF for the fungal infection, and it burns. Sugar Foot does not burn but is a moisturizer. Sugar Foot is not quite as healing as Healon PF, but it still is perfect for those uses we’ve outlined. Healon PF is a powerful healing agent, but not a moisturizer.

Healon PF is great for surgical scars, especially if they are fresh. People report that their scars have practically vanished, as you saw above in the before and after pictures.

Why Are We Focusing on Miracle Skin Products Again?

Good companies go out of business when people do not support them. You can buy some antibiotic cream for 1/20^th the cost of Healon PF. But it can’t do 1/1000^th the job of Healon PF. You get what you pay for.

I want all my readers who are thinking of supporting us (the International Wellness Directory) monetarily in the near future to, INSTEAD, support Ron Salley this one time. For Christmas this year, put a bottle of Healon PF in your car, in your boat, in your first aid kit, in your bathroom cabinet. Give one to a friend for relative for Christmas (and give them a link to Simply the Best: www.mnwp.org). I keep a bottle in my Deer Stand, because when I'm cleaning a deer, I always manage to slice myself up a bit too (those knives are so darn sharp!)

ASC, Acne Formula, and Psoriasis Formula

The Psoriasis Formula is the only one from Ron that we’ve not seen work yet. We gave away four bottles and all reported a slight improvement, but that was it. Psoriasis is a tough condition to reverse, but research into vitamin D and other things are showing some promise.

Ron’s Acne Formula has its followers. We’ve not heard from anyone who has used it who has not had success. We have thoroughly tested it and so far, teenage acne is a breeze, stubborn acne clears up before you've used half a bottle, and adults on antibiotics for their acne have stopped using their antibiotics, thank God. Nothing on the market compares.

The ASC, Advanced Skin Care, is, in my opinion, the most amazing lotion ever invented. We keep passing it onto people and everyone is amazed. It has worked on Solar Keratosis and non malignant skin cancers. It’s for any problem spot that you want gone.

My own personal experience has been weird. Even after it’s done working, white heads show up and I have to use it again. Many have asked me if perhaps the ASC is causing the whiteheads, that perhaps I’m allergic or sensitive to it. However, I’ve put the cream elsewhere, on different types of skin, and nothing. The spot dries up and peels off. No acne, no whiteheads.

But on my cheek, where my physician said I had a solar keratosis, it has removed the spot, and keeps pulling “crud” out of my cheek. I'm going to keep using it till whatever is coming out stays out for good.

At this writing, I have three new people trying the lotion and I will report back to you.

Ron does not want to sell his ASC. It has to be made up special and should sell for $150.00 per fifteen milliliter bottle. He refuses to let Simply the Best advertise it or mention it. Why? Because he made it specifically for those "things" it is helping to clear up, but can’t mention this in his advertising or on the bottle. Ron just doesn’t want to go to prison for practicing medicine without a license or promising anyone a non malignant skin cancer cure.

We, however, can publish testimonials and we can tell you what we’ve seen it do. However, we can’t sell it if we do so, and in keeping with our policy, we will not sell a wellness or health product we talk about because that would be a conflict of interest. There are far too many web sites selling pure crap after a song and dance telling you how great their crap is.

However, if you want a bottle of ASC, with no guarantees, no promises, and your money back you can write to me. I will contact Ron for a bottle, I will have Simply the Best bill you for the product ($55.00 including shipping), and I will personally put it in the mail to you. You will get an email of consisting of instructions for use, your 30 day money back guarantee, and the ingredients. Beyond that, no one will discuss your skin problem. You can discuss that with your physician. 

Keep Good Companies Alive

Again, good companies are hard to find. There are creams for everything out there and most contain garbage you don’t want on your face. If you wouldn’t eat it, you shouldn’t put it on your skin.

Please keep Ron’s work alive and prospering. Every home can use Healon PF, and if dry skin is a problem in the winter time, you definitely need Sugar Foot. Please go to Simply the Best and make your Christmas, someone else’s Christmas, and Ron Salley’s Christmas very special this year. Give the gift of healing.

And I must tell you that I say this for selfish reasons. I don’t want to see Ron’s creams and lotions disappear because I’m one of his best customers.

Ron Salley Miracle Skin Creams & Lotions @ Simply the Best

Oh, and he also has a wrinkle cream, but wouldn't you know it; people are actually ordering this one.

NOTE: In keeping with our policy of full disclosure, the International Wellness Directory is not an affiliate of Ron Salley's company and does not receive kickbacks. However, I, your author, do get lots of free samples from Ron and when I order, he charges me half price. Had I not written this review, I would still be treated the same by Ron. This review was written to support Ron's work, keep a good company in business, and to help people heal using Ron's products.

And as I stated, I have selfish reasons. I don't want to run out of Ron's products.

Before We Go

AOL has just listed some "special" products for that special Christmas. One product was a very expensive ($110.00/oz) moisturizing lotion called Crème de La Mer. The ingredients are not listed at their web site. This is most likely not an oversight.

Crème de La Mer's ingredients: seaweed (algae) extract, mineral oil\paraffinum, liquidum\huile minerale, petrolatum, glycerin, isohexadecane, citrus aurantifolia (lime) extract, microcrystalline wax \cera microcristallina\cire microcristalline, lanolin alcohol, sesamum indicum (sesame) seed oil, eucalyptus globulus (ecalyptus) leaf oil, magnesium sulfate, sesamum indicum (sesame) seed, medicago sativa (alfalfa) seed powder, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seedcake, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) seed meal, sodium gluconate, potassium gluconate, copper gluconate, calcium gluconate, magnesium gluconate, zinc gluconate, paraffin, tocopheryl succinate, niacin, beta-carotene, decyl oleate, aluminum distearate, octyldodecanol, citric acid, cyanocobalamin, magnesium stearate, panthenol, limonene, geraniol, linalool, hydroxycitronellal, citronellol, benzyl salicylate, citral, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, alcohol denat., fragrance (parfum)

You will notice that there are some very good things in this moisturizer. However, there are some ingredients "knowing consumers" will NOT want on their skin. One of them is one of the main ingredients: mineral oil.

From Herbal Luxuries we discovered this about mineral oil:

The problem is that mineral oil is foreign to the human body and has many harmful effects, especially in infants. Some of the effects of mineral oil may be a little surprising. Mineral oil acts as a thin layer on the skin.

It is difficult to absorb and clogs the pores, which slows the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins. Remember, the skin is the body’s largest organ and plays an important role in maintaining overall health!

Once the oil is absorbed, it is broken down by the liver and passes through the intestinal tract, it will absorb all of the fat-soluble vitamins found there. It is essentially stealing important vitamins from the body, which the body will not be able to replace. This can eventually lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Studies have also shown forms of pneumonia caused by mineral oil decreasing lung unction, known as lipoid pneumonia. Because of these dangers, the medical community has condemned the use of mineral oil taken orally or as an ingredient in medications. [http://www.herballuxuries.com/mineral-oil.htm]

Another product, at the top of the list so you know that this is a main ingredient, is Petrolatum, the same stuff we know as Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.

What’s so bad about Vaseline Petroleum Jelly? For one thing, it’s been banned in the EU and seems to be a carcinogen. You can read more here: Health Report

I did some more searches on some of the other chemicals, those that you can’t pronounce.

Isohexadecane; take a search on Toxnet and you’ll find case after case of dermatitis or skin inflammation. It is considered an allergen.

Methylisothiazolinone; a powerful biocide (kills life) and preservative. Yes, this is found in a small amount, but if you found strychnine on the label of your face cream, would you care how much was in it?

At Wikipedia we found: “Some studies have shown MIT to be allergenic and cytotoxic, and this has led to some concern over its use. In early December, 2004, a news broadcast from WNYT in Albany, NY reported that methylisothiazolinone had been linked to nerve cell death in scientific studies. In 2002, there was an in vitro study of the neurotoxicity of MIT in the department of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh.”

Methylchloroisothiazolinone; a preservative with antibacterial and antifungal effects found in a great number of cosmetics, but still, it’s a potent allergen and has been attacked at a carcinogen.

Benzyl Salicylate is salicycylic acid, a preservative as is hydroxycitronella.

If you ask me, there’s no question whatsoever about whose products are better, Ron Salley’s or La Mer (The Sea).

Just the other day, I was playing with a young fellow whose fingers were cut up from falling outside on gravel. His mom washed his hands while he sat in his highchair, and when she went to get him his “num-num,” he began to cry, holding his hand in the air. We got out some Sugar Foot and put it on his sore fingers. Within 20 seconds, he stopped crying and dug into his “num-num.”

No one, not one company on the planet, has creams, at any price, better than Ron Salley’s Miracle Skin. No one.

We had first heard about Heartland Products when researching safe soaps. A reader had sent us a gallon of their “botanical” soap.

On the soap, they list their ingredients as: pure water, amino acids, minerals, and other ingredients derived from leafy green, edible and seed-bearing plants. We loved the soap.

We figured this must be the natural stuff if this is where they’re getting their materials.

So, we contacted the company asking if they’d like a review of their products. We got back one letter asking us: Who are you? An
