 Here's the story about the natural laundry detergent that literally grows on trees. I'll reveal what it is, how it works, and how you can get some right now at www.BetterLifeGoods.com
The soap that grows on trees
Across the jungles of India and Indonesia, a surprisingly practical tree called sapindus mukorrosi grows a small fruit surrounded by a firm outer shell, much like a lychee or rambutan. This tree, also called the Chinese Soapberry Tree, is unique in the fact that it synthesizes its own natural soap-like saponins that coat the shell of the fruit. |
| What if there were a natural laundry soap that actually grew on trees and could replace commercial detergents for good?
It sounds too good to be true, but in fact, it's real. For the past two months, I've been washing all my own clothes with this simple, natural laundry soap that's been used in India for centuries, and I've never felt happier (or more environmentally conscious) about my laundry.

| They're nature's gift to the world, and we would all be smart to stop buying manufactured laundry detergents and switch to natural laundry soaps that grow on trees. It's good for your health, your family and your environment. Plus, it ends the cycle of monetary support for manipulative consumer product companies that poison the world with their harmful chemicals products. All those brightly-colored laundry detergent boxes lining the shelves of your local grocery store are, indeed, quite poisonous to both you and the planet.

| Wouldn't it be great if shampoo also grew on trees?
Actually, it does.
More than just laundry soap
The natural saponins found in Maggie's Soap Nuts are universal cleaning agents. Sure, they work great in the laundry, but did you know they are also traditionally used to clean skin and hair? In fact, the soap nut saponins work on everything from pets and children to washing fruits and vegetables. In ancient India, jewelers even used the soap to shine their precious metals and stones, giving them a beautiful natural luster. |
| REPPED: I've discovered an amazing new product that replaces commercial laundry detergents with a natural soap that literally grows on trees! This is a very big deal because the laundry room is one of the most toxic rooms in the home of a typical consumer. Commercial laundry detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain alarmingly high levels of toxic chemicals well known to cause cancer, liver disorders, neurological disturbances and hormone disruption. |

 Lemon trees were planted in thirteenth century Spain and orange trees in fifteenth-century Portugal; mandarin trees were brought to Provence and North Africa in the 1800s. Long considered exotic fruit, citrus now belong in the diet of the vast majority of countries and cuisines; a billion citrus trees producing close to 1 00 million metric tons of fruit every year are cultivated around the globe. |

 Airborne pollens from grasses, flowers, weeds, trees, or ragweed are the culprits, so allergy season officially begins whenever trees and grasses start to pollinate in your area of the country. (In the South, trees can start as early as late February while grass may start around the end of April. Meanwhile, in the Midwest, things may not kick in until May. In the West, you have longer pollination time for grass and some weeds that will hang on all the way into the fall. |

 Each side of the brain has a separate blood supply that looks like several large trees during winter. Between the twigs at the tips of the major branches are areas of brain that are dependent on blood from each of the surrounding trees. The area farthest from two blood-supply lines is the watershed area where we tend to have ministrokes when the branches of surrounding trees are pruned by atherosclerosis or the tree trunks themselves wither from poor maintenance (see Figure 1.3). |

 The Ents, led by Treebeard, hurled boulders at Saruman's army and even unleashed a river by smashing a dam, drowning orcs in a torrent of water that only the trees could withstand due to their mass and height.
It was a brilliant display of evil being defeated by the forces of nature. All the weapons used by the Ents were elementals, too: the boulders were from rock, the flood was composed of water, and the trees themselves were made of wood. The symbolism in this work is very powerful, and the message remains valid even in modern times: That nature is more powerful than evil men. |

 Before then, farmers had gathered tea leaves by cutting down wild tea trees thirty feet tall and stripping the branches of their leaves. With the increasing demand for tea, the wild tea trees were in danger of being eradicated. To ensure ongoing tea crops, a group of farmers banded together to develop more effective ways to cultivate tea. They decided what kind of soil was best for growing tea plants and chose the Szechwan district as the first tea-growing area because its soil and hilly terrain met their requirements.
Demand continued to soar. |

 Apples
The property on which the Excelexes lived for five years had some abandoned apple trees, which produced small scabby fruit. In 2002, they watered one tree occasionally with structured Hexahedron water. The resulting fruit was up to twice the normal size, and 90% of it was completely free of the blemishes and scabs which the trees normally produced (right). The larger apples were plentiful and delicious.
Biophotons in Water
When water molecules are structured in the shape of a hexagon, they naturally contain an abundance of biophotons. |

 Sadly, thousands of acres of macadamia nut trees, along with the farmers who tend them, could be economically wiped out. Given that macadamia nut trees take about seven years to produce their very first nut and 15 years to reach maturity, this is not an industry that can recover overnight.
There are many issues contributing to this coming collapse of Hawaii's mac nut industry, but one of the worst is the fact that macadamia nut processors physically located in Hawaii can import macadamia nuts from other countries (most notably Australia) but label them as 100 percent Hawaiian macadamia nuts. |

 Ever notice, in the forest, that parasitic fungi don't grow on all trees? They like to grow on trees that aren't in good health. The same goes for cancers and most other kinds of illness.
• Say no to sugars and yes to whole plant foods. Strictly limit sugars and eat lots of vegetables and fruit.
• Consider a macrobiotic diet. Some cancer patients find that a macrobiotic diet—which consists of cooked whole grains, vegetables, beans, seaweed, and small amounts of fish—is easier to stomach than a standard diet when undergoing cancer treatment. |

 As far as the climate change community was concerned, Douglass was cutting down trees in a forest with nobody there to hear it. (According to Dr. Lloyd Burckle of Columbia University, not only was Douglass right: the hundred-year cold spell he discovered was responsible for some beautiful music. Burckle says the superior sound of the great European violin makers, including the famous Stradivari, is the result of the high-density wood from the trees that grew during this century-long freeze—denser because they grew less during the cold and had thinner rings as a result. |

 Though plum trees have been cultivated since ancient times, they weren't introduced to North America till 1856, by a Frenchman. When he failed miserably at mining gold, he planted plum trees, covering California with more than 90,000 acres of orchards over the next thirty-five years.
Prunes are high in fiber, which is beneficial in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. Fiber is also important in reducing the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, diabetes, and diverticular disease. High-fiber diets are usually much more successful for weight loss than low-fiber diets. |

 The male and female reproductive organs occur on different trees, so there are male trees and female trees (most tree species have both sexes on the same tree). Although the tree is very beautiful, the female tree produces very odorous berries that make it undesirable for landscaping use in areas where there is foot traffic. Like any plant, ginkgo is a virtual chemical soup of compounds. The medicinally important extract is made from the dried leaves under carefully controlled conditions. |

As we motor through the swamp, we pass Delta Downs, Starks Lookout Tower, Gum Cove Ferry, Black Bayou Ferry, Ellender Ferry, Southwest Louisiana Boys Village and the Indian Bayou Ferry. The most industrious animal in the area today is the beaver, whose dams attract birds, fish and other wildlife. Otters, minks and raccoons all feed off the world that the beaver builds. |

 You begin to look at the world differently, and you see trees instead of a barren wasteland. When you see yourself moving, that alone is an achievement—proof that you can help yourself.
OUT OF THE TUNNEL
Science has come a long way since our search for the single culprit began, and the decades' worth of research generated from the monoamine hypothesis has taught us volumes about the biology of emotions. The closer we get to the cause of depression, the more complex it appears. When we began, everyone was fairly certain that the problem was an imbalance of neurotransmitters at the synapses. |

 This antioxidant complex, extracted from the bark of French maritime pine trees, contains around forty compounds. Some reports, published and anecdotal, have found it helpful in treating distractibility, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity in children. It may have similar benefits in adults. Try 100 mg twice daily.
B-complex vitamins. By now, you understand how important a foundation B vitamins are for healthy neurotransmitter levels and activity. Take a high-potency B-complex (or a high-potency multivitamin) containing 25 to 50 mg of vitamins Bl, B2, and B3. |
