Welcome to the November issue of the NIRC Newsletter
November Greetings!
We have some new articles and information that we are eager to share with you. The first is a collection of GSE data we gathered as a result from feedback received about our Grapefruit Seed Extract interview located on our website. We always want to share information we receive so that each of us has the knowledge to make informed decisions about the ingredients we choose to use in our products. The second article we want to share is in recognition of breast cancer awareness ~ a very important issue. This article addresses natural breast health with a little humor thrown in. We wish to encourage our women members to take an active role in maintaining their health.
So please read on and as always, your comments and suggestions are welcomed.

New Articles/Interviews:
1. Feedback from our GSE Interview:
We've received some very passionate feedback about the interview we did with Citricidal's general manager concerning Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE). View interview here
Here are a few excerpts from email we received:
- That manufacturer is adding synthetic preservatives to grapefruit seed and pulp powder with glycerin.
- There is no such thing as a special manufacturing process that synthesizes flavonoids or the seeds to make GSE.
- I hope you will get a copy of the studies and add more scientific literature to your website along with the references.
- I want to know who's side are you on. The consumer's side or the corporation's side???????????
Well, needless to say we were motivated to dig deeper and find some of the controversial studies out there. We now have 3 of them added to our website for your review.
HERE ARE THE NEW LINKS TO THIS DATA....

2. Abreasted Development
Author: Dori Ball of Earth Elixirs
One of the first signs of becoming a woman is developing breasts. Remember silently hoping we were one of the first and not the last in gym class to turn in our little white tee shirts? As young girls, we anxiously anticipated the day that we could don that plain white cotton contraption that marked our journey into womanhood. We proudly wore our training bras like a badge of honor.
As we got older and wiser, we learned to pad, lift and separate those glorious orbs that seem to wield such power over the opposite sex. Blossoming into motherhood we learned of another power our beautiful breasts have... the awesome power to sustain life. READ MORE.....
