Flu!!!!!! Get your immune system strong.

Hmmmmmmmm John Peterson in his book "A vision for 2012" talked about this and how it will happen, and I am wondering if another scare is a motivation by our government to get people feeling scared so conveniently they can vaccinate us by the awful petrochemical based products !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless, your immune system at cellular level needs to be very strong so you can fight against any virus coming at you. We approach it in this way holistically and recommend the following to you:
BUILD UP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!!!
use products like non toxic essential oils, like "immune up"(you can buy from us), far-infrared therapy (like the Amethyst Biomat) this is used during just about all of our treatments, drink Alkaline Ionized water (we sell them on line & at the spa), Ion Detox Treatment, and eat the best, healthiest diet you can (lots of raw veggies and fruits...). Conversely, stay AWAY from acidic unhealthy substances like drugs, soda/cola, caffeine, sugar, artificial sweeteners, (too much or any) meat/dairy, white flour, fast foods of all kinds because these will LOWER your pH and acidify your body...exacerbating and increasing your symptoms.... Rachel Goodkind's suggestions.
& THINK positive.
Love, Honi :)

Professional Photography by my friend Valerie Cavalheri & Mother's Day Special










Professional Photos:
What a unique & fun experience listening to Zen Cafe, with a gentle fan blowing a few feet away while having Valerie guiding the lights & the camera to capture what she pictures before hand in her mind. This was definitely a foreign territory for me & I am grateful I was in the hands of someone who is just great at what she is doing and is making you feel at ease. All I asked was to have some flowers & be barefoot. :)
If you have been waiting to have your photo taken or have a family photo shot, here is a wonderful additional reason to contact Valerie. I am thrilled to announce that Valerie is offering 50% off the sitting fee for any publicity /head shot photos for any family or children portraits & 100% goes towards the purchase of photos. This offer is exclusive to Holeco™ Patrons and it will expire July 1, 2009.

"Not Just a Pretty Face" by Stacy Malkin

A MUST Read Book

This is a message to all, not just the moms that are making
all the daily household decisions, but to dads & teens as well, to take an active role in learning what you are putting on your body & how it is impacting your well-being.

PREVENTION is the best intervention, but how come we (in America) are so focused on "CURE" rather than not getting sick in the first place? I have navigated through many Cancer Foundation websites and do you find anything on there that raises the attention to the harmful preservatives in our daily use cosmetic/personal care products???? It's the same band aid approach, to let's just cover, but oversee the cause of the initial problem. How about all the Pink awareness, only to learn they are still using products that are known to be carcinogens?

I typically address these questions at the spa as well as when I give presentations. I am beyond thankful for Stacy Malkin's book "Not Just a Pretty Face" that makes my job a bit easier because you can learn so much from the details that goes on. You will wake up, & you will then understand.

As a signatory to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, I have been & will continue to only bring products that are free from synthetic chemicals that are harmful to your health & the planet earth. My promise is for you to benefit from the highest quality organic/natural/chemical free/sustainable/earthfriendly/affordable products that I can find in the market to free you from doing the homework so you can enjoy & relax from the benefits. :)

With Joy, love & Peace
Honi :)

Green America is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to harnessing the economic power of consumers, investors and businesses to promote social justice and environmental sustainability. One way they do this is to help responsible consumers and green businesses find each other in the marketplace. Businesses displaying the Green America Seal of Approval have successfully completed Green America's screening process and have been approved to be listed as a socially and environmentally responsible —or green—businesses in our National Green Pages™ directory.

As a consumer, you can feel confident that business bearing this seal operate in ways that support workers, communities, and protect the environment. This is what Green America says about its approved business and we were the first Medical Spa listed in their directory in 2007. :)

We are delighted to share we have also gotten the GenGreen Gold Certification recognition as the first medical spa in the USA that is Green based.

Holeco™ Wellness Medi Spa & Coconut Water :)

The one drink that you hear me talk about over and over and over is Coconut Water. There are so many health benefits from pure young coconut water that in my eye, it is truly the miracle fruit.

If you are thinking of the coconut milk, forget it, I am talking about the yummy hydrating water within. Here is a quick run down on it's properties:

* is excellent for replacing lost electrolytes from exercise and illness.
*is a natural isotonic beverage – contains a similar level of electrolytes found in human blood.
*has 15 times the amount of potassium as most sports and energy drinks. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure and heart function.
*regulates the functioning of the intestine which can help to promote digestive health.
*can help promote smoother, more hydrated skin.
*can help reduce problems for infants suffering from intestinal disturbances.
* is an effective oral rehydration medium and keeps the body cool.
*is an all natural sports drink, energy drink and hangover cure.
*Coconut Water is non-allergenic.
*is cholesterol free and coconut water has shown to help prevent the formation of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).


Best of all, we now are selling it less than even Whole Foods for $1.76 per one or $21.12 for a case of 12. For additional information or to buy on line please visit: http://holecomedispa.com/Coconut_water.html Would you like to know what Gatorade is made out of? Sucrose Syrup, Glocose, Fructose Syrup, Citric Aci, Salt, Sodium Citrate, Monopotassium phosphate, Isobutrate.
