Paul Spaar and Deborah Spaar-Mueller have entered into a new business venture. They have become independent distributors of Nature's Sunshine Supplements and have set up shop in their home.
Nature’s Sunshine produces a 300 supplements, ranging from common mineral such as calcium-magnesium to more exotic herbal formations based on chinese medicine and other sources. The company, which is based in Spanish Fork Utah, has a distribution Centre in Brampton.
Nature’s Sunshine products are not available in pharmacies or supplement stores like those of most of their competitors. Instead they are sold through a network of 600,000 independent distributors.
“The products have been available since 1972 and have been sold in Canada for 35 years,” said Deborah Spaar Mueller. “They are based on the different systems in the body and are formulated from natural and herbal ingredients including Chinese and ayurvedic recipes. The basic idea is that once your body is in balance which can be achieved with these supplements, it is then able to heal all types of diseases and illnesses.”
“The interesting thing is that the majority of people selling these products are people who have had major medical issues that could not be solved by conventional medicine”, said Paul Spaar, when interviewed at the couples Verona home last week.
“The reason we are getting into this is that we want to help other people like we've been helped ourselves.”
It was lactose intolerance that first set Deborah Spaar-Mueller on a search for alternative natural products and therapies in the hopes of clearing her allergy. That's was how she met Vivian O'Neill, of the Quinte Allergy and Wellness Clinic in Belleville. O'Neil practices a method called Bio Energetic Intolerance Elimination to help free people of their allergies, and she uses Nature’s Sunshine products in her clinic.
The therapy was successful for Deborah.
Paul then began to face a more serious issue when cancer was found in the lymph nodes in his neck and the chemotherapy and radiation treatments that were being recommended would have a debilitating impact on him. Before taking that route, Paul decided to consult with Vivian O'Neill.
He decided to use supplements that she recommended instead of pursuing other treatments, and he says now that his condition has improved markedly.
The couple are also currently studying to become natural health care practitioners, and they are already offering clients informal consultations at their home office.
Deborah said, “We're living in a time where we know the environment is no longer healthy which means that everything that we consume has been affected negatively by pollution and other toxins,” she said.
Deborah and Paul are offering monthly seminars on various topics resulting from public input from a survey they recently distributed. Topics will include arthritis, brain power, energy and vitality, heart health and menopause. The first seminar will take place on Thursday Feb.23 at 7:00pm at Trinity United church in Verona and Vivian O'Neill will be speaking on the topic of heart health. Admission is $5.
