2010-06-23T22:00:00.001+12:00

So next order, just double-check the price and be aware of it. All prices on this blog are now correct and up-to-date. :-)

Update on Website

2010-06-10T00:23:00.003+12:00

Wow, it has been a while, but I'm still here with what I believe are some of the best products on the market today, to boost your health and get you as fit and strong as you ought to be!!

The good news, however, is that New Image now have a fantastic website up and running, with the lowdown on all the amazing products in the ranges, and information on the awesome opportunity this is to build your own business while helping others reap the benefits of these Adult Stem Cell Foundation approved products.

You can see the website at http://www.newimageasia.com

And very soon I'll have my own personalised version of that site, which will take over from this blog as your source of colostrum and supplement knowledge from myself.

I'll keep you posted when that happens, but in the meantime, as ever, for more information or to order any products please email me on colostrumforme@gmail.com

Product: Noni capsules

2009-11-16T17:19:00.004+13:00

Whether it is saving you from menstrual pain, headaches or lightening your moods, Noni (Morinda citrifolia) is a wonder product. Dehydrated and encapsulated for maximum strength, Noni also helps other products be better assimilated.

Why not Noni Juice?

Noni on its own is unpalatable, so most Noni juice available is around 90% fruit juice with Noni added. Our capsules are pure Noni!

The New Image difference!

Each New Image Noni capsule contains the concentrated active ingredients from 100mls of Juice. Only the water, which has no value, has been evaporated off. This means each capsule is equivalent to a therapeutic dose, and 10 capsules equal one litre of juice. Get good health at an affordable and sensible price.

Philippine Health Department analysis compared a major American brand Noni and showed New Image capsules to be far superior, with no sugars or other diluting fruit extracts added. (Report available on file). No serotonin was identified in liquid analysis, but is present in New Image Noni capsules.

RRP: $48.00 / 60 capsules + P&P

TO ORDER: Contact colostrumforme@gmail.com for more information and to order. Payment by NZ direct bank transfer/credit card/international orders welcome.

Product: Pycnogenol - Fight Free Radical Damage

2009-11-16T17:02:00.007+13:00

Pycnogenol is possibly the most powerful antioxidant supplement known to combat free radicals.

Free radical damage can occur after exposure to pollution, food additives, stress and chemicals, and free radicals are even generated during excessive exercise. The damage these cause has been positively linked to degenerative diseases, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and the ageing process in general.

Pycnogenol, an extract from French Maritime Pine bark, has also been shown to be beneficial to collagen, maintaining the suppleness and giving a more youthful appearance to the skin.

Pycnogenol Herbal Plus is a 'state of the art' antioxidant.

What's In It?

This product contains 40mg of Pycnogenol and is blended with:

* 30mg Cat's Claw, a popular antioxidant used for many years by the Peruvian Indians
* 25mg Curcuminoids, a potent, concentrated extract from the Turmeric plant with established antioxidant capabilities. Turmeric is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory herbs known.
* 5mg Mixed Carotenoids (a natural mixture of carotenoids). Carotenoids give vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots their colour and have many beneficial properties.

New Image's Pycnogenol® bears the registration mark of Horphag, holders of the USA patent.

This product is guaranteed not to have been extracted from genetically modified pine trees.

So go on, hop to it! Your body will love you for it.

RRP: $141.35 / 90 tablets + P&P

TO ORDER: Please contact me at colostrumforme@gmail.com for more information or to order. Payment by NZ direct bank deposit/credit card/international orders all welcome.

Product: King C

2009-11-16T16:48:00.006+13:00

The positive effects of Vitamin C on colds, influenza, and other viruses are well documented. This water-soluble vitamin is possibly best-known for its beneficial effects on the immune system, and two-times Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling was a great advocate of Vitamin C supplementation. Vitamin C acts as an anti-oxidant in the body, has been linked to a reduced risk of atherosclerosis, and is necessary for the production of collagen in the body (deficiency of which is known as scurvy).

Now, New Image has gone one step further with this supplement by providing an increased amount of Vitamin C in our King C - 600mg per tablet. King C is also buffered with Dolomite, a rich source of Calcium and Magnesium. Both of these minerals are important to everyone who engages in strenuous physical activity and particularly to women of all ages. Vitamin C, Calcium and Magnesium when combined, are known for their calming and pain inhibiting qualities.

Each tablet contains:

* Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 600mg
* Dolomite 400mg providing:
* Magnesium 56mg
* Calcium 116mg
* Tableting aids

RRP: $54.95/120 tablets + P&P

Products: Ultra Diet

2009-11-16T15:15:00.015+13:00

A Very Big Issue

It's no secret that obesity is a huge problem facing most Western countries today.

Some sobering statistics from the 2006/2007 New Zealand Health Survey showed that:

One in four adults were obese (26.5%)
41.7% of Māori adults were obese
63.7% of Pacific adults were obese
11% of Asian adults were obese

...scary stuff.

Which is why New Image have developed the Ultra Diet.

Products available as part of this diet plan include:

Ultra Diet 2

A carbohydrate controlled programme, based on research from the Harvard Medical School and developed in association with Dr. Peter Vash, a leading Los Angeles specialist in eating disorders and obesity.

The Ultra Diet contains all of the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids required for proper nutrition, together with high quality protein and natural fibre.

More information on the diet is available by email. Please contact me on colostrumforme@gmail.com for more info.

RRP: $69.75/420gm can + P&P

Fibre Max

Fibre not only helps keep your bowels regular, it also helps detoxify the body and improve intestinal health - which leads to better overall health.

This is a blend of chicory root extract, psyllium, soy fibre, oat bran, and pectin, and is tasteless and odorless meaning you can add it to drinks or to foods in baking.

RRP: $64.40/420gm can + P&P

Gymnema

Gymnema sylvestre is a well-respected ancient Indian plant used in Ayurvedic medicine (the traditional, ancient medicine system of India), which contains a substance that blocks the absorption of sugar in the digestive tract. This results in less sugar entering the blood stream and less calories being ingested which leads to controlled weight loss. Also contains 50mg fenugreek and 50mg psyllium powder.

RRP: $57.45 for 90 capsules + P&P

Lite Seasoner

Too much Sodium in our diet can cause a myriad of health problems, yet it adds flavour... Lite Seasoner is a potassium-based mineral seasoner with only a fraction of the sodium content of ordinary salt.

RRP: $9.20/100gm jar + P&P

Ketone sticks

An essential part of the Ultra Diet programme, Ketone Sticks enable you to monitor weight loss.

RRP: $16.95/50 strips + P&P

Whilst New Image has a big focus on colostrum and colostrum products, there are also a range of other products available to aid your health and keep our bodies as healthy and strong as possible. These are some of what's available in the rest of the range....

For ease of use I'll post them all in separate entries.

Early November Update

2009-11-06T11:12:00.004+13:00

Just a quick update today, since it's a new month. Firstly, I'd like to apologise for being more quiet in recent weeks - I'm in the middle of exams and assignments at uni, which means everything else gets put aside momentarily in the frantic scramble to meet deadlines and finish the year. But there are only four weeks to go, which is great! Terrifying, but great. So things might get a bit quiet around here for a while... and now you know why.

I hope everybody is happy and well - have a great November!

To your health,
Erin

Products: Beautiful skin - 30,000 years in the making

2009-10-22T00:16:00.006+13:00

Summer is here at last! I'm sure we can all feel the magic in the air as we wake up to these beautiful sunny mornings; the birds are singing, the flowers are in bloom, and the air seems that much warmer by the day.

So who wouldn't want beautiful skin to show off in the season of Christmas, parties, and frivolity?

Allow me to introduce another aspect of the New Image colostrum range: Bio-Rejuv.

What is it?

Bio-Rejuv is a range of skincare products, incorporating the wonderful healing properties of pure New Zealand Alpha Lipid colostrum, with Austrian Moor essence from the Neydharting Moor.

Moor essence?

The foothills of Austria are home to an area known as the Neydharting Moor, a beautiful area with a lake of black water, renowned since ancient times for its powerful healing properties. A spa has been located here for around 5,000; amongst its more illustrious users have been Napolean and Louis XIV, and the famed 16th Century physician and alchemist Paracelsus based his theory of the Quinta Essentia on what he found in the ecology of this area!

Moor essence is a thick, black organic peat collected from the area under the auspices of the Insitute of Hygiene of the University of Vienna, formed over 30,000 years from the unique botanicals found in this special place. Essence from this Moor is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant hormones, fatty acids, and trace elements, all predigested as a result of the microbial action that occured during the last ice age and highly assimilable by the skin. Over 700 herbs, flowers and plants, sealed in by the last ice age, have gone into this legendary substance, making it a true example of nature's magic.

...and Colostrum.

Colostrum is a powerful substance, straight from nature. The colostrum used in these products is especially high in components beneficial to your skin.

With your powers combined....

This is beautiful skin! Holistic, synergistic, and all-round fabulous. With 70% active ingredient and a soap-free formulation that encourages detoxification, deep cleansing, and calming of skin, this is a power-packed colostrum-and-Moor-filled punch of a skincare product.

And my seal of approval!

A note for those concerned about chemical sensitivity: I've suffered from sensitive skin for years - everything seems to irritate it. And over the past few years, I've developed a kind of chemical sensitivity. If I'm around most cleaning products, I get dizzy, weak, ill, and extremely 'brain-fogged'. Most skincare products make my skin break out, go flaky, itch, burn, and generally make its disagreement known pretty loud and clear. There are very few ranges I can use without a reaction, and this is one of them. So while I can only speak for myself, and I make no guarantees, I will happily vouch for this.

Keep an eye out for more individual product info on this lovely range coming soon to this blog.

Spotlight on... New Image group

2009-10-20T19:01:00.002+13:00

So, you might have noticed the words 'New Image' preceding 'Alpha Lipid' throughout this blog. And you've probably picked up that it's the company behind these fantastic products.

So, today's spotlight is going to be on New Image.

The latest version of the New Image Group website has launched today, with plenty of information on who New Image are, what the company is about, products, NZSX listings and info, news, colostrum research, direct selling information, and more.

For those of you more business-minded, have a look at the site here, and if you're interested in starting your own business with New Image, email me for more information.

Recipe: Alpha Lipid LifeLine & Banana Smoothie

2009-10-19T16:58:00.005+13:00

Erin demonstrates how to make a fantastic Alpha Lipid LifeLine, Banana and Honey Smoothie. Use this as the basis of many variations of smoothie. This tastes amazing, has all the goodness of Alpha Lipid LifeLine, the antibacterial properties of NZ Manuka Honey, the potassium and fibre content of bananas, and the calcium, vitamin D, and fat content of milk.

Ingredients:

2 Bananas
1-2 cups milk
Dessertspoon of Manuka Honey (or other dark bush honey)
2 scoops Alpha Lipid LifeLine colostrum powder

Serves: 2-3

Notes...

Add ground Flaxseeds/Linseeds for added Omega 3 fatty acid content; something most people are greatly lacking in today's diet, and to add mucilage
Add psyllium husks to bulk it out and add fibre for those with digestive troubles
Add avocado for a dose of good fats, and to add even more to the creamy texture
Add ice in summer for cooling and crunch-factor

In this video I used raw milk. I love raw milk - i.e. unpasteurised, whole milk - as it's super creamy, full of fat - which makes you feel fuller for longer - contains enzymes to help digestion, and often other good bacteria to boost immunity and gut health. As I've said previously, my personal philosophy on health is that the closer something is to nature, the better it's going to be for you.

If you can't get hold of raw milk - and if you do use it, I recommend you visit the farm and ensure the cows are healthy and raised organically, to make sure you don't end up sick from it! - then whole pasteurised milk is the next best thing.

For those who are lactose intolerant, I've used both rice milk and almond milk before with this recipe and they taste great too.

The honey I've used here is organic manuka honey. Manuka honey is made from the flowers of the NZ Manuka (Tea) Tree, and is renowned globally for its high levels of antibacterial properties. It's one of nature's greatest healers for wounds and burns, and is used in hospitals to fight MRSA infections. If you can't get hold of this, then any other dark bush honey will be fine.
NB - Never heat honey as it destroys the beneficial enzymes.

To fight against hayfever, use honey as local to you as you can find. It will contain local pollen and help you build an immunity to the allergens, so you don't suffer all summer long

And one final note; this actually made enough for 2-3 servings, not one as I originally intended to make in the video!!

Spotlight on... the Institute of Colostrum Research

2009-10-18T02:21:00.004+13:00

The Institute of Colostrum Research are a fantastic organisation, with masses of information on this incredible product.

Visit their website for everything you ever wanted to know, including dozens of research papers, information on how it works, studies, and more.

I highly recommend their FAQs as well - all those tricky questions answered, plus some you'd never have thought of!

Product: Cellworx

2009-10-18T01:30:00.013+13:00

New Image have produced a concentrated extract of a number of the minor compounds found in colostrum.

Cellworx is absorbed so fast with such a good 'delivery method' that it begins working almost straight away; transmucosal absorption (sub-lingual/under the tongue) means it is absorbed directly into the blood stream and distributed through the body and bone marrow.

So what's in it?

Info-Peptides: These are compounds that provide regulation and signals so our immune system functions properly.

Sialyl Oligosaccharides: These are big sugar-based compounds that provide the right chemical compounds needed for your cells to communicate properly across the nerve gap. At the end of each nerve cell and the start of another is a gap of sorts, and a breakdown in communication between these can lead to all sorts of problems. Sialyl Oligosaccharides resolve this problem effectively, as well as fighting bacteria on their own, and have been shown to bind to viruses and stop them replicating through the body - one in particular being the flu virus. Bonus!

Neuro-Peptides: These are compounds that can improve cognitive response in the elderly, as well as delaying the onset of neuro-degenerative disorders. They can help stop the impact on brain tissue of free radicals, and also prevent the formative of beta-amyloid plaques forming in the brain.

Cytokines: Compounds involved in the cell-to-cell recognition and replication pathways, including IGF-1, IGF-2, TGF, EGF, and PDGF, amongst others.

And how does it work?

Cellworx comes in the form of a concentrated spray, which you spray under the tongue before you go to bed. This area is one of the most absorptive in the body, and in a process called transmucosal absorption products are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Use Cellworx before bed, and hold for as long as possible (fight that urge to swallow!!)

Users of various other natural health products such as homeopathy will be familiar with the process of holding a tablet or spray under the tongue for as long as possible, in order for it to be absorbed.

For best results

Although it can be used on its own, like Colostem, for best results use Cellworx in conjunction with Colostem (taken an hour before dinner) and Lifeline (in the morning).

Cellworx comes in a 125ml spray bottle. RRP NZ$93.05 + P&P, or
70ml spray bottle. RRP $67.20

NB: All information taken from product brochures. These are available by email in PDF format - request one via email if interested in learning more.

Product: Colostem - Get those stem cells going!

2009-10-18T00:59:00.012+13:00

Introducing Colostem, with Colostrum, Fucoidan, and Resveratrol - one half of a power-punch of mega duo, new from New Image.

Resveratrol and the French Paradox

We've all heard of the so-called French Paradox. They drink as much red wine as they like, yet all have amazing longevity. This is because of a fantastic phytonutrient known as Resveratrol, and it's got the natural health world buzzing with excitement.

Resveratrol has been found to be anti-ageing, energy-boosting, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular health-enhancing, blood sugar-lowering, anti-cancer, longevity-boosting... and it mimics the effects of calorie restriction; the only intervention proven to prolong your maximum lifespan and produce anti-ageing effects in numerous organisms. French research suggests it can help control weight by enhancing energy expenditure, and to top it off, can help prevent age-related degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (something colostrum can, too). It helps blood vessel health, decreases oxidation of LDL cholesterol, and some early trials suggest it may be useful in preventing some cancers.

Phew! Quite a lot for one little compound produced in several different plants when they're under attack.

Fucoidan, we love you...

And what about little ol' Fucoidan? This is a nutrient from the sea; a polysaccharide - complex sugar - extracted from brown Angel's Hair seaweed. It defends against degenerative diseases, is an antioxidant against premature ageing, is an anti-coagulant, stops and inhibits abnormal cell growth, normalises blood pressure, blood sugar, and bad cholesterol, improves stomach upsets, and improves immune ability. As well as this it helps boost a healthy stem cell population, similar to colostrum, and research shows similarities between this and human breast milk, making it known as 'the plant equivalent of mother's breast milk'.

Colostrum, hurrah!

We all know about the benefits of colostrum by now...

So what happens when we combine all three in one incredible product?

We get Colostem, of course.

About Colostem

Colostem is a First Generation colostrum product, fresh from New Image, that combines these three incredible ingredients that all support a healthy adult stem cell population.

For best results...

Although fine on its own, it works best when used in conjunction with Alpha Lipid Lifeline, and Cellworx, and together they make the most powerful products New Image have produced to date.

Lifeline for breakfast, Colostem an hour before dinner, and Cellworx before bed.

Colostem comes in bottles of 60 tablets, each containing 400mg Colostrum, 40mg Fucoidan, and 25mg Resveratrol.
RRP is NZ$78.55 + P&P

Product: Save Money While You Save the Planet

2009-10-17T21:52:00.007+13:00

It's not a supplement, and it's not colostrum - in fact, it's not even edible! But this latest product is certainly going to have an impact on the health of your lungs, and the planet (and most importantly for many, the health of your wallet!).

Did you know that according to a 2002 study, approximately 339 people die vehicle emissions-related deaths in New Zealand every year?
*Not counting suicides

So what is it?

The New Generation PowerPill FE-3+ is a rather clever little creation. You simply pop a tablet into your tank before you fill up with petrol, and it works to condition your engine, improves fuel efficiency, and drastically reduces your emissions of a number of noxious, polluting gases. This means you save money, your fuel goes longer so you don't need to fill up as often, and fewer fumes for us to breath in.

Scientific, monitored testing has proven time and again that it improves combustion and efficiency, and the amount you save more than covers the cost of treatment using the PowerPill - let alone the health of our planet, and of our lungs and bodies. Think of how much healthier and happier we'd all be if everybody in a big city used these in their cars!!

There are PowerPills available for both petrol and diesel, and they'll work in cars, trucks, boats... PowerPills come in packets of 10, which will last the average car 10 fills (1 pill per 70L).
PRICE: NZ$ 38.65/packet of 10 + P&P

So how can you be sure it works?

That's easy. Aside from the manufacturer's NZ$10,000,000 guarantee that it won't harm your vehicle, around the country are garages where you can take your car in and measure the levels of pollutants in your exhaust. Find a garage in your area who has a government-approved testing machine, and have your car emissions tested initially. Fill the vehicle with fuel, check the odometer, and drive along a set route until the light comes on and you need to refuel. Take down the odometer reading again, and work out how far you've driven. This will be your baseline.

Next, put 2 tablets into the half-full tank, and fill until full. Take the odometer reading, and after 10km have your emissions retested at the same place. After this, drive the same route as before. When your 'empty' light comes on, stop and record the odometer once more. From this you can figure out your percentage improvement, by deducting your baseline figure from your new figure, and dividing the result by the baseline figure to get the percentage.

You can repeat for the next 3 tanks of fuel, but using one tablet per fill.

... and if you do this, I'd love to hear your results!!

So go on - save yourself some money, save our lungs some muck, and save our planet with the fab little PowerPill. What a beaut!!

Products: Capsules and Chewable Tablets

2009-10-17T02:57:00.009+13:00

…and for those who aren’t so good with mixing up a quick and easy drink in the morning, there’s colostrum for those ‘on the go’.

Alpha Lipid Colostrum is also available as capsules, and as chewable vanilla-flavoured tablets. Both can come in either a one (60 caps/tabs) or two-month (120 caps/tabs) supply.

I find the tablets great for keeping in the handbag; any time you feel like you need one, or you’ve slept in a bit too long to make up your morning shake, you can chew one up and taste the rewards.

The tablet form is also great for kids to take, especially if you can’t get them to drink the smoothie and they won’t swallow capsules. They are delicious though, so try not to let them eat the whole bottle at once!!

RRP: Capsules - 60 @ NZ$45.35 or 120 @ NZ$75.75 + P&P

RRP: Tablets - 60 @ NZ$53.35 or 120 @ NZ$86.40 + P&P

TO ORDER: Email order to colostrumforme@gmail.com. Credit/debit card payments welcome. For more information on ordering, click here.

Product: Alpha Lipid Lifeline

2009-10-17T02:54:00.009+13:00

Introducing one fantastic product: Alpha-Lipid Lifeline. And a ‘lifeline’ it truly is! A powdered colostrum product, Lifeline contains 2000mg of colostrum, as well as 1000mg of calcium plus other vitamins and minerals, and acidophilus too - a ‘good bacteria’ essential for good health and fantastic in fighting off yeast and candida infections.

Each 450gm can is a one-month supply, and has a delicious vanilla flavour. When you shake it up with water it’s like drinking melted ice-cream, and it tastes amazing in smoothies too (I highly recommend trying banana, honey, and Lifeline!)

And good news for the lactose intolerant: The lactose molecule in this has been taken right down to its simple sugar, meaning it’s safe for you to reap the benefits of too.

RRP: NZ$83.05 + P&P - 450gm can

TO ORDER: Email your order request to colostrumforme@gmail.com Credit/debit card payments welcome. For more information on ordering, click here.

Why Alpha Lipid?

2009-10-17T02:53:00.007+13:00

Why Alpha Lipid?

Alpha Lipid colostrum is a patented form of bovine colostrum, made by New Image International. Essentially, the colostrum is lipid-coated in a way that enhances absorption - and the speed of absorption - by up to 100%.

What about the cows?

The colostrum comes from cows grown on pesticide-free pastures here in clean, green New Zealand, during the natural three-month calving season. The cows are free from antibiotics and growth hormones, and are not immunised to produce any specific antibodies first - something some other colostrum types are. No calves are harmed in production of Alpha Lipid Colostrum products - if a calf doesn’t get colostrum within 24 hours of birth it can’t live.

Calves need around 20% of the colostrum produced to survive, which is why they get the first fill, and the excess is used to produce Alpha Lipid Colostrum. This is the excess that most farms simply wash down the drain until milk is produced.

Who are you? And how do I get my hands on this stuff?

Who are you?

My name is Erin Young. I’m a 22-year-old student Naturopath, training in Auckland, New Zealand, for a Bachelor of Naturopathy. I’ve been an avid user of natural products my whole life, and when I’m not reading, researching, and studying natural medicine I can be found listening to music, playing music, going to gigs, or writing my novel.

My philosophy

I’ve been taking colostrum for the past year, and have seen fantastic results in people using the product, as well as a major improvement in my own health - the stuff tastes great, and works, so the purpose of this blog is to provide an outlet for interested buyers to read about what's available. I also maintain two secondary sub-blogs to this; the first contains research related to colostrum in general, and the second contains inspiring health-related stories relevant to this site.

I'm naturally sceptical of a lot of health supplements and the claims they make, and lean towards nature in its most intact form for healing the body and mind; I intend to further my study with a diploma in Medical Herbalism, and my personal philosophy on healing is that the closer a product is to nature - using whole foods and 'whole food supplements', as they're known - the better. This is what our bodies have evolved on, and what we should be feeding them to maintain high levels of health and vitality. Which is why I was so excited to come across these products, and to see the results people are getting. Colostrum is a whole food supplement - about as whole a food as you can get! - and the top of my list of 'things to take'.

There are also a range of other primarily herbal-based formulas available too, a beautiful range of skincare known as Bio-Rejuv, and a version of the ketogenic diet for weight-loss.

My background

My background is in journalism, having been published in several countries for the past decade. This blog, and my two sub-blogs, are a natural combining of the two as my effort to spread the word about the wonders of this amazing substance.

I will be updating regularly with product information, and maintaining new information and interesting stories on my other sites.
