THE MASTER MINERAL - MAGNESIUM
NOT ENOUGH IN FOOD... Magnesium is in short supply in the soils of countries that are using NPK fertiliser chemical farming methods. Australia however tops the list when it comes to magnesium deficient soils. If there's not enough magnesium in the soil, there's not enough in the plants that are grown in it. Processing methods can further deplete magnesium in foods.
STRESS CAUSES MAGNESIUM LOSS... Stress depletes magnesium, as tissue cells release magnesium into the bloodstream in response to adrenaline in the blood in a perceived 'flight or fight' situation. Stress can be psychological, physical, chemical, pharmacological, induced by extreme temperatures, excessive noise, working out, burns, pain, hospitalization, travelling long distances, sleep deprivation and more. Prolonged or chronic stress without replenishment of magnesium stores will result in magnesium deficit.

TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUM ABSORPTION - THE BENEFITS FOR SKIN AND BODY
PURE and NATURAL MAGNESIUM SEA SALTS: Elektra Magnesium mineral salt flakes (magnesium chloride hexahydrate MgCl2.6H20) are naturally evaporated from sea water which comes from a remote lake 3,200m above sea level in the Tibetan Plateau. They are food grade. Independent laboratory testing has found no mercury and no lead.

Dr Dzung Price -- Stand 4
Speaker
9.45am - 10.30am
WEIGHTLOSS - THE NEW BOOM AND HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM IT
Dr Dzung Price is a highly experienced and diversified Holistic Medical Practitioner with a passion for innovative wellness. She and her dedicated team continually research cutting edge concepts, products and skills designed especially for the beauty sector. For the first time at this APAN Canberra seminar, Dr Price will share her professional insights and open the lid on research focussed on creating sustainable weight loss and how and why smart weight loss can also increase rejuvenation, vitality and wellness.
Smart sustainable weight loss is primarily about body contouring through fat burning and it is a multi- layered challenge. However, intelligent aestheticians can be trained to understand and deliver outcomes within their own practices. This is exciting news and potentially a brand new income stream for motivated therapists and business owners within the sector. Dr Price's seminar information is priceless and will focus on these key questions so you will learn exactly how this can be achieved.

The Result? The result is a fresh, clean, more youthful-looking skin. The dried herbs are mixed with herbal lotion and massaged onto the skin. Within 3 to 4 days after this treatment the upper layers of the skin will peel visibly. The appearance of the new skin is improved, fresh in colour and finer in texture.
Unlike synthetic acids Green Peel® does not irritate and injure the skin to produce a healing effect. Spirulina, one of the components of Green Peel®, is estimated to contain 250 vitamins, minerals and trace elements. No factory or mass production line can match the biological processes in this simple plant. Web address: http://www.akiss.com.au/
