One of her favorite programs she teaches is Cooking with Kids, a family based nutrition program. “I have found that when families learn together, they’re much more likely to make those healthy behavior changes and be successful together.” Heather wants Simple to continue to be a staple for health and wellness in the community and move toward an overall wellness center. Simple Organics will have biweekly breastfeeding hours starting in October where new moms and expecting moms can come in, sip on some tea, and get breastfeeding support for free.

Product Details

Dr. Christopher's Relax-Eze - 100 Vegetarian Capsules

Dr. Christopher's Relax-Eze is a formula that has been used with great success for well over 30 years. It is used for relieving nervous tension and insomnia; it is mildly stimulating and yet lessens the irritability and excitement of the nervous system and also lessens or reduces pain. This formula contains herbs that feed and revitalize the motor nerve and the base of the skull (medulla area and upper cervicals), and also herbs that help rebuild or feed the spinal cord. This group of herbs will also rebuild the frayed nerve sheath, the nerve itself, and its capillaries. The herbs in this combination are food for your valuable - and in many cases - shattered nerves.

About Dr. Christopher
Since the passing of Dr. John R. Christopher, his family has always been concerned with the manufacturing of his time tested formulas. Wholistic Botanicals L.L.C. has been chosen as the company because of its commitment to the Christopher philosophy in manufacturing and marketing of Dr. Christopher’s formulas. The advisory board consists of Dr. Christopher’s family.

Dr. Christopher’s Philosphy
Cleanse, Nourish, Heal.
Dr. Christopher’s common sense approach to natural health is based on three vital processes. Dr. Christopher taught his students that Cleansing is the first & most important stage of restoring a healthy body.

The ultimate purpose of cleansing is to prepare the body for natural healing through purification of all the body’s organs down to the cellular level. This protocol is designed to naturally bring the body to its normal weight range, whether the body is over weight or under weight by first eliminating any accumulation or retention of morbid matter in the bowel.

Cleansing eliminates the unwanted mucus out of the organs which can lead to premature aging, allergies, and contributes to diseases in general. Perspiration is a natural action of the sweat glands which throws off toxins can be restricted by the use of synthetic dry deodorants. Once the body is purified it is ready to accept the highest vibratory quality foods so natural healing takes place as nature intended!

Secondly nourishment from live, nutritious, foods support the natural body’s function by balancing everything from balancing the ph of an acidic body to restoring the natural glow of the largest organ of the body—the skin.

Lastly Healing occurs naturally, sometimes quickly & sometimes slowly as the body continues to eliminate impurities and strengthen through proper nourishment. One of the signs of healing comes with periodic aches & pains in the areas where the cleaning action is most acute. Patience is required as the body cycles through these three phases. Healing is a natural gift from the way the body was designed by our Maker. John Christopher taught over & over again that That there are not incurable diseases- only incurable people.
