Australian Sharon Cohrs is 38 years old and a breast cancer survivor. In April/May 2009, just 9 months after she finished chemotherapy and three months after reconstruction surgery, Sharon and her husband climbed Mt. Barunste in Nepal which stands at 7129m. They also climbed Mera Peak as a warm up mountain which stands at 6480m. It was a huge challenge as she wasn’t sure how her body would cope with the altitude, or whether she had the strength required in her left arm due to lymph node removal, the increased risk of lymphoedema, and generally the physical and mental demands required for climbing a mountain.

Why is Sharon climbing mountains? To raise much needed funds and awareness for breast cancer research. Her goal was to climb four mountains, the last being Everest. Doing so will make her the first breast cancer survivor in the world to summit Mt Everest!

Sharon left for Mt Cho Oyu in Tibet on August 5th, and our superior Miessence products went with her. For stamina, strength, and to keep her healthy amidst the myriads of challenges her body is facing flying to a different country and climbing a 8000m mountain, Sharon is equipped with our powerful nutritional products: Berry Radical and In-Liven. Getting sick isn’t an option when hanging off the face of a mountain! Having discovered our certified organic, chemical-free products, Sharon wants to throw all of her other products away. The synthetic products Sharon used in the past to combat the -20 degree Celsius temperatures, harsh winds, and sun reflection off the snow weren’t natural, and her skin suffered terribly as a result.

Nearly one thousand brand-name sun screen products were investigated by The Environmental Working Group, and found that 4 out of 5 don’t provide acceptable protection and/or contain chemicals that could be hazardous to your health. The worst offenders included leading brands like Banana Boat, Coppertone and Neutrogena.
There are millions of skin cancer cases diagnosed globally each year. Unfortunately because of huge legislative gaps, these companies in a lot of countries are free to claim – but not provide – broad spectrum protection from ultraviolet radiation.

Stay safe and keep your children safe by switching to the risk-free, organic alternative: Reflect Outdoor Balm.
You may need to apply it a little more frequently. But what’s that minor inconvenience for the assurance knowing you’re protecting delicate young skin from damaging UV rays in a safe, non-intrusive way?

Mothers pass toxic chemicals to their babies through their umbilical cords, according to a groundbreaking study. The recent study commissioned by Washington-based Environmental Working Group found an average 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants (body load) in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in U.S. hospitals. Exposure to chemicals is a huge concern with infants. Because the blood-brain barrier – the body’s defence that keeps contaminants from reaching the central nervous system – is not yet developed, babies can suffer more neurological harm.

And of course, female babies are born with the eggs that could become their own babies, meaning later generations will also be exposed. Making your home environment as clean and green as you can is a great way to help reverse this damaging trend.

Begin with baby as you intend to go on – by using only the purest organic products such as those from the miessence® certified organic Mother & Baby Range. Free from chemicals and synthetics, miessence® Baby Cream Wash, Lotion and Baby Powder are pure and delicate enough to be used confidently on newborns. Similarly, Organic Baby Bottom Cleansing Gel, Bottom Mist and Barrier Balm work together to gently clean and soothe the nappy area to keep it ..well.. ‘smooth as a baby’s bottom’.

Good news! The ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) stepped up on behalf of customers by taking action against misleading ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ claims on a popular consumer brand’s product labels.

There was a particular issue regarding some products sold by this company where at least 3 chemical ingredients were completely left off from the labeling with others going by false names.
This hard action taken towards labeling is great news for shoppers everywhere and sets another milestone for the quickly growing organic personal care and beauty industry.

Most people don’t really know what’s meant by the term ‘virus’. Generally, they believe it to be a ‘germ’ that sneaks into the bloodstream to make you unwell. But that’s not even close to the truth. Put VERY simply, a virus is not a living thing at all. It’s a tiny particle of inert genetic material.

Transferred by touch or through the air, this particle enters your body through the mouth, nose or eyes. Inside, it takes over a living cell, by instructing it to ‘clone’ the virus. When the overloaded cell finally bursts, it scatters the virus particles and they begin to multiply.

Natural antibodies, generated by your immune system, flood to defend their territory. It becomes a battle of speed and strength. That’s why it’s s vital to do all you can to strengthen your body’s natural guard against all viral invaders.
A good organic based diet, lots of fresh air, water and exercise, and certified organic probiotic superfoods like In-Liven and Fast-Tract give your system the defence boost that can make all the difference.

In a groundbreaking effort to educate the American public about healthy eating, US First Lady Michelle Obama recently began an organic garden on the south lawn of the White House.
With the help of local elementary school students, she prepared the soil for the first working kitchen garden seen at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt’s ‘victory garden’ during World War II.
Michelle Obama hopes the garden, containing over 50 varieties of homegrown produce, will help people to make healthier food choices by eating new and different fresh fruits and vegetables.
The First Lady has joined a groundswell of home gardeners reverting to the age-old idea of the kitchen garden providing healthier food and a way to save money into the bargain.
