A letter from the staff What a beautiful, wonderful day! Have you told yourself that you are amazing today? Well, you should have. The world needs more love and appreciation. Self-love and self-confidence are fantastic, but little used caveats to health and wellness. How you feel, and how you look at yourself are related! This summer, while appreciating the beauty nature has provided outside, turn this same love inside.

Give yourself a pat on the back. Take the time to invest in yourself. Now that summer is here and we can go outside and have the fresh air, yummy foods, and just general awesomeness, don’t forget about taking the time to put coins in your own love piggy bank. Each glass of water you drink is an investment into yourself; the same with healthy food choice. But, this also applies to the thoughts we have! We need to stay and think positive whenever we can. Sure it’s not always going to be sunshine and rainbows; the premise is to make the effort of staying on the positive side when possible.

You are a wondrous being; your body is a temple that provides a service. You can walk, talk, eat and taste.

Take pleasure whenever and wherever you can. Do not discount the advantages of a positive mindset! Hey, the less stress and dampening you put on your body mentally and emotionally, the extra there is for the rest of yourself. In the same way that eating cooked and overly processed foods can slow your body down, so can a negative mindset.

Next time you wake up and look in the mirror, find something good to say to yourself! Why, because you’re worth it! Making the time investment in health and fitness should always include the stress and emotion aspect. Stress dampens many digestive aspects of our health. Just like rocks tied to your feet, it’ll slow you down!

The great news is that with the warmth and sunshine and everything outside in time for summer, you can channel this same energy into yourself. Try visiting a rushing river and watch as it moves through and makes its path. Or climb to a hill top, take a calming breath and be amazed at the glory that surrounds you. Walk through a garden or meadow and watch as birds, insects and plants go about and just be.

Then, check yourself out, how your heart pumps blood, your eyes see, your hair grows (even though you can’t watch it). Our bodies are full of the same power as the nature that surrounds us. Tap into that and embrace it, empower yourself and get there!

SUMMER

Dear Avena

Hello, I just received my order including Para-ease. Wondering whether aspergillus niger and aspergillus oryzae are safe for people with allergies to mushrooms. These ingredients were not mentioned on the ingredients list on the website. Thanks, Juliet

Response

First of all thank you for trying our product, I hope you enjoy it and that it benefits you well. The two items you mentioned are NOT included in the products as ingredients per-se. Due to Health Canada regulations in labeling we include many additional details that do not denote ingredients but sourcing.

Again to reiterate, this product contains NO MUSHROOMS. The labeling requirements are to the origins and growth means to the enzymes. They are grown on those mediums (aspergillus) then they are harvested and these items are never present in the final product of enzymes. You could compare the listing of these listings as the region and/or method that something was grown, ie in China, New Zealand or the Americas. While this may not be the best example, I hope it gives the general idea.

Cultured Enzymes remain the very best in industry and provide a great track record, out performing plant extracted & pancreatic enzymes.

ALLERGIES - Can The Cause Be In The Cure?

What if I told you that you don’t need to feel like garbage all the time; that those allergies that have been plaguing you can be helped. Would you believe me?

The truth is your body has an incredible ability to heal, repair and replenish. It is absolutely possible; you just have to put the work in.

FROM MILD TO SEVERE

Depending on the trigger, the response can be as mild as a couple sneezes here or there, to a full on anaphylaxis shock where the person’s airways begin to swell up and close and their entire body can be covered in hives. What’s important to remember is that these are immune responses, and the immune system can be helped.

What if I told you that you don’t need to feel like garbage all the time.

ALLERGIES

IN ALL SHAPES AND FORMS Allergies come in many forms, shapes and sizes; some can be life threatening, while others just register as annoying inconveniences. All health problems can be traced to the bowels, and allergies and their derivatives are no exception. The unique part is that everyone’s symptoms or allergies can express itself in different ways; where one person may have a food allergy their sibling or parent could get rashes and sneezing from animals.

Yet, we each have the same organs and internal make up. What is different is how we interact with our environment both internally and externally. The place where these meet is our bowels. This is why the bowels are always at the root of everything!

It should be at the back of our mind that all things stem and build up from the bowel out and thus can be helped by ensuring proper health of your internal organs. By creating or establishing clearer communication between the inside and outside of the body, the body find ways to assist and improve. For example products like Avena’s Herb Cocktail or Probiotics can help from inside the gut; the Herb Cocktail works to promote healthy bowel movements and patterns while the healthy bacteria repopulate and colonize to set up a natural immune barrier.

TYPES OF ALLERGIES

UNDERSTANDING

SKIN: Itchy eyes, hives or rashes, swelling, blisters

AN ALLERGY When your body is impacted with excess and undue toxins, then this directly affects the bowels. This residue is like a layer that hinders everything between your internal body and the outside world. (Imagine trying to communicate through a wall, it’s not easy.) Allergies occur when your body is processing something and it experiences a misfire or miscommunication. When someone who has an allergy to animal dander goes into a home with cats, something that for many causes no reaction, in that person they may start to cough, sneeze, get itchy eyes or hives. The item or allergen causes a release of histamine strong enough to be felt. A siren is going off internally and all systems engage on defense.

News & Views To A Healthier You!

RESPITORY: Difficulty breathing, sneezing, wheezing, tightness in chest INTESTINES: Diarrhea, cramping, nausea, Gas, Bloating, Vomiting CARDIAC: Tiredness/fatigue, lethargy, weakness, low blood pressure ANAPHYLAXIS: Severe allergies can result in anaphylaxis, which is a whole body reaction to an allergen.

This would be when the mucus membranes swell to greater lengths and the entire body can slow down and grow lethargic due to the high histamine response – happens minutes to hours after exposure.

(If you had dairy reactions but rebuilt and resupplied your body with plenty of natural enzymes that breakdown fats and lactose, the next time you encounter this trigger there should be a reduced response.)

ALLERGIES CAN BE A BOWEL PROBLEM The foundation of our digestive tract and elimination shouldn’t be overlooked. A prime example that directly ties this to allergies is tryptophan. An essential amino acid found in proteins scattered throughout our diet, and critical for life. Yet, when tryptophan goes undigested through the gut and bowels it can react to produce histamine instead of something more desirable like serotonin. This increase in histamine circulating the blood can make it more difficult for those people when they do encounter a trigger; above average levels mean that even though anti-histamines are produced, the negative histamine reactions are still felt.

Weighing down the body with excess histamine because of undigested proteins is thankfully something News & Views To A Healthier You!

NATURALLY MANAGING ALLERGIES

Variations and combinations can always be tweaked and modified for the individual. No two of us are completely identical. Through food and supplements like these you can help to establish greater pathways and networks for communication within the body as a whole (which is the goal!) If you know that fats or proteins are causing you physical distress it’s important to counter that and rebuild.

The biggest reason to address these problems is the chances that if you’re not reacting to milk specific properties (like casein or lactose) but rather to the fat or protein in general, chances are this is system wide, and not happening internally with just milk consumed. A problem digesting fats would include the fats from avocados and coconuts the same as it would from other sources.

Now, these reactions while annoying are sending the system a clear message – this is not good.

There is something foreign that is unknown and possibly harmful being detected. If you’re exposed to something harmful, this should be the message your body hears; but, if it’s something minor, then a five alarm bell could be creating an exaggerated response. In the same

INGREDIENTS           

1 cup soaked cashews ** 3 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 squeezed lemon) 1 tbsp dill 1 tbsp parsley 2 tbsp hemp seeds 2 cloves garlic 4-7 tbsp of water (you add this last for the final consistency) 3 tbsp tahini 1 diced cucumber Dash of salt and pepper to taste **try substituting ½ cup of the soaked cashews for ½ cup of homemade yogurt.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. In a processor or blender place cashews, lemon juice, tahini, garlic cloves, hemp seeds, water, salt/pepper, and run until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

2. Remove from processor or blender and place mixture in a large mixing bowl.

3. Add all other ingredients, diced cucumbers, dill, parsley, mint (optional), and more salt/pepper to taste.

4. Adjust seasonings as desired. Serve with salads, falafel, or just simply as a dipping sauce for veggies. Enjoy!

5. Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Nasal Wash 4 cups warm to slightly hot filtered water  2 tbps Colloidal Silver  2 tsp Pristine Sea Salt *optional Ionic Zinc, an iodine supplement (in liquid or powder form) **for an immune boost try swapping the Colloidal Silver for 1 tsp of Proteolytic Probiotics, 

just let it sit in the water for 5 minutes before use Mix this to use in a neti-pot or large bowl to flush the sinuses. Every day we’re surrounded by plenty of airborne pathogens and allergens. By doing nasal rinses you can ease some of the pressure that can build up, or prevent air-based pathogens to take root. This is a great idea to use after plane rides (where you breathe the recycled air of many people, sometimes for hours).

INCREASING COSTS LEADING TO PRICE CHANGES Dear valued Avena customers, we’re going to share with you something that may not sound great at first, but it’s going to balance out. Many companies will tell you “we value our customers”.

This becomes a mantra that can be hard to believe, especially from large profit based corporations.

The good news is, Avena is a family business and have been since the start.

We’re not a massive company selling to billions. Avena is a simple business that genuinely cares about our customers and members; just like one big family. We love having the ability to chat with you on the phone, in person or over email like old friends and really get to know each of you.

Our favourite part is hearing the good things, the news that you’re doing better. Or your neighbour tried our Herb Cocktail and loved it. Maybe you just finally got a full night’s sleep for the first time in forever. We absolutely believe that the results and the great work that’s happening in the Avena community are because of our products.

Next to our personal relationships with you is our commitment to quality and purity. This commitment over the last few years has had some back and forth movement. The raw cost of materials and ingredients combined with the increase in production have skyrocketed the price for each product. Beyond this, each product has its own cost of testing, labeling and NPN requirements that should also be included in the price just to stock our shelves. Pairing these costs with the decline of the Canadian dollar, (and the coordinating increase in the American dollar) has put Avena in between a rock and a hard place.

We are raising our prices marginally, but we’re doing it for our members. We know our product is great and it needs to be in the hands of the people it can help the most, but to do that we’ve come to the tough choice of a price increase.

Never fear, this change we’re hoping will be temporary. As soon as the dollars come back to par and our production prices go down, all you faithful will be rewarded.

Thank you so much for sticking with us through these tough times. We all know that when the going gets hard, it’s your closest friends and family that get you through it. Avena has set the date of July 1st for these new prices to take effect.

Your support is appreciated

Kristin has a special flair for making that healthy stuff taste like divine dessert, a real treat. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store for this girl with the food flair!

Wilson Family

You may recognize Al Wilson, an Avena Sponsored athlete, but we’ve elevated his status. If you know any athletes you’ll know there are many people who support them; for Al, it’s his entire family that’s involved. We knew we had to help the whole group of them, so it’s not just Al anymore but the Wilson Family!

ALMOND

ALLERGY

I went from an anaphylactic reaction to almonds to eating almonds every day all day long. The process was fun, enjoyable and very rewarding, the best part is it only took 30 days! Don’t consider fun and enjoyable with easy, making the necessary changes was not easy, but it was totally worth it! I have lost over 60lbs, lbs, found joy in life and recovered from all of my allergies.

Thank you Avena Originals

ANIMAL

ALLERGIES

I’ve suffered with many allergies in my life, saying no to visiting friends because of allergies is depressing. I started working with enzymes, specifically Amylase and WOW a difference! I can hang around pets, even stay overnight at others houses. I have no worries or fears. No more allergy medication for me!
