The garden gives us much happiness and enjoyment when we see the beauty of the trees, shrubs and exquisite flowers. These amazing flowers give more than just perfume and colour, the essences also give us help with our health.
The constant rush, the hustle and bustle, the traffic; they are all a part of day-to-day life for many of us. They are also a cause of our impatience, our reluctance to remain calm and in control. The essence of the impatiens plant is, naturally, to promote a patient and tolerant energy. Get through the day stress free, slow down, take some time to absorb the world around us and appreciate its beauty.
Self-confidence is something that many people lack. It's a disbelief in one's abilities to succeed and perform at a certain level of expectation. This can lead people to avoid trying, as they have already come to the conclusion that they will fail. Larch essence can help revive self-confidence and give people the boost they need to have a go at the things they would previously have avoided.
Mannatech Inc with founder Sam Caster, have introduced PhytoMatrix which does not contain any synthetic or chemically derived active ingredients. Instead, it contains vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that have been absorbed by a plant's roots and stored in its tissue. When harvested, these plants provide all-natural ingredients. Containing glyconutrients, these supplements give optimal health and wellness. Glyconutrients are now necessary for optimal health and well being.

Ants - A Common Garden Pest
Excerpt from 'Controlling Pests' by John Dengate - "Attracting Birds to the Garden"
Just a few food crumbs on the floor can bring hundred of ants into the home. In the garden you would think of them being more welcome. However that is not always true.
'Ants are rarely a problem in the garden- they can even be useful in eating insect pests and attacking termite mounds. However, they can also be garden villains - especially when they are scuttling up and down a plant stem. Even though they look innocent, those ants are up to mischief. They are protecting colonies of bugs which drill tiny holes into your plants to siphon the life-giving sap, and they are also spreading plant diseases. The bugs, in return for protection from their enemies, give the ants a sugary solution. It's a great system for the ants and bugs, but not for the plants, which often have wilted shoots and are stained with black mildew growing on the excess sugary residue.
The solution to this problem is to put the bugs off-limits to the ants by greasing their pathways. After blasting the bugs off with a hose, or alternatively, scrubbing them off with a nail brush, cover a few centimetres of the plant stem with petroleum jelly, lanolin or anything else that ants are unable to climb. Although this process allows some of the bugs to return, without their ant protectors, they mostly end up as dinner for other insects.
Ants in pot plants are easy to remove. You simply sink the pot into a bucket of water or a pond. After half an hour, your problems have swum away! The herbs tansy and peppermint are also reputed to repel ants.'
We do know that glyconutrients discovered by Mannatech Inc and Sam Caster, have overcome many problems. Glyconutrients support your body's natural ability to reach optimum nutritional levels and play a role in enhancing quality of life. Mannatech offer hope and assurance of nutritionally enhanced lives.

Technically Superior Dino Tails
This reflection taken from "Creation" Vol. 29 No. 1 Focus News
There is great and amazing design in the armour of early living creatures, namely the conch and abalone. 'New research shows that the backs and tails of ankylosaurs were protected by strong, lightweight 'armour' so sophisticated that it's been likened to the structure of a fibreglass surfboard or the Kevlar of bullet-proof vests.
Torsten Scheyer of the University of Bonn, Germany, found two complex arrangements within the 'armour'. In the bone calcium of the plates, interwoven collagen fibres formed mats that crisscross from layer to layer. Within each mat, parallel fibres were angled perpendicular to fibres in the mats above and below.
"The armour was thereby endowed with great strength in all directions," said Scheyer. He also pointed out that as the ankylosaur swung its tail in self-defence, the layering could absorb large amounts of stress. All creatures reflect the ingenious hand of the Designer - Creator God of the Bible'.
Can't get much better than that for our wonderful creatures in nature. However, scientists from Mannatech Inc. and Sam Caster, continually work at improving their products and have produced PhytoMatrix, a plant-sourced multivitamin and mineral supplement for delivery of glyconutrients and important phytochemicals.

Designer Label Clothing- in Nature
Excerpt from 'Creation' magazine, Vol. 29 No. 1 Morning Glory's Designer Label clothing- By Dr. David Catchpoole B.Ag.Sc(Hons.) Ph.D.
'..When researchers report their studies of animals, plants, Earth and starry skies, they implicitly give the glory to 'evolution'.
A recent genetic study of the 'morning glory' plant, for example, speaks of the 'evolutionary transition' from purple/blue flowers (Ipomoea purpurea) to red flowers (Ipomoea quamoclit).
A closer look though, shows it is not evolution at all. Evolution... requires an uphill change, an increase in genetic information. But the researchers describe how their claimed 'evolutionary transition' from blue to red flowers in morning glory is actually a downhill change; a decrease in information.
The ancestral (normal) blue/purple floral colour is due to pigments derived from a chemical called cyanidin. Researchers discovered that mutations in Ipomoea quamoclit block production of cyanidin. Therefore a different chemical called pelargonidin builds up, resulting in red pigments and flowers. The researchers readily acknowledge this has been a downhill change, using such phrases as 'pathway degeneration' and 'loss of the ability [to perform certain chemical processes]'.
Thus the researchers concluded, starkly: 'This degeneration makes it very unlikely that I. quamoclit would be able to re-evolve cyanidin-based blue/purple pigments ...'. Why? Because, the researchers say, it would require multiple simultaneous mutations. These mutations would have to add information, i.e. it would require an uphill change.
But this is the opposite direction to observed mutations today. ...... The Bible tells us that from studying plants it ought to be obvious that they must have had a Designer (Romans 1:20). How could you ever get something that grows from a seed, extracts its own construction and maintenance materials from its surroundings, all fuelled by solar energy, arising by chance?'
Glyconutrients also have been in existence all along, but only recently discovered by the scientists from Mannatech Inc. The Chairman, Sam Caster, gives time and energy to telling the world the potential great benefits to all mankind from glyconutrients. These saccharides - glyconutrients- are necessary in our bodies, but are missing from our modern diet.
