Hello Friends!

We'd like to invite you to the:


RECLAIMING YOUR HEALTH - EMPOWERMENT SEMINAR


by Mel Tarry, President and Founder of Avena Originals

Learn How to - Clean the Body & Feed the Body

DISCOVER:

What The Major Causes Of Disease Are
How The Process Of Digestion Works
Why Our Bodies Are So Toxic
Why Most Of Us Are Suffering From Deficiencies
Why Much Of The Food We Eat Poisons Our Bodies
How To Work With The Laws Of Nature

Health is NOT a Matter of CHANCE; it's a Matter of CHOICE!


Length of Lecture: Approx 2 Hours

Health Seminar - Guest Speaker - Mel Tarry - President - Avena Originals

The information that is shared at this lecture will help everyone to understand the basic truths about the cause and prevention of disease. Great emphasis will be placed on the digestive system. With many years of training and the use of information provided by Michael O'Brien, Mel Tarry will present Avena's Seven Steps to Reclaim your Health Program. The Principles and Laws of Nature will be presented through a powerful power point presentation.

Mel Tarry strongly believes that you must understand 'WHY' we get sick, before we can understand 'WHY' we need to apply these principles of 'Clean the Body and Feed the Body'.

If this is your first time be prepared to soak up the information, learn how to apply the principles of health and healing, and experience your new found health.

Diana's Comments:

Learn how Avena Originals 100% vegan products can help you achieve your health goals. We especially highly recommend and use Avena's Full Spectrum Plant based Enzymes and patented strain Friendly Flora daily for all raw food enthusiasts, since most of us enter this lifestyle with compromised digestion from years of eating a faulty diet.

Wise supplementation provides helpful support during a transition diet into a raw foods lifestyle which greatly enhances all of the processes of detoxification, elimination as well as assimilation.

This seminar will leave you feeling empowered to take charge of your health with a greater determination to continually improve your diet. Remember, you don't have to be sick...once you understand HOW to be well!

Mel Tarry is looking forward to meeting you!

We hope to see you there as well!

Hello Raw Food Enthusiasts!

Since this is the most challenging time of the year to stay committed to our chosen eating habits, applying these helpful tips can help you maintain your health, your weight and a stress-free holiday spirit.


Join Diana Stoevelaar from Awesome Rawsome Lifestyle as she talks about how to maintain your chosen eating habits through the holidays as well as how to handle social situations in ways that do not offend the host or hostess. Strategies for getting what you want and need in restaurants and while traveling will also be discussed. She will also share a Restaurant Card that she has developed that can give a restaurant an outline of your dietary requirements and makes it easy for the chef or server to prepare your meal.
