About Rae Witt...
A loving Mum of four, Rae has always been a nurturer and a lover of nature. Her passion for natural health & wellbeing has evolved greatly over the past 13 years as she looked for safe and alternate ways to treat her and her families health.
It became apparent that these miracles from 'Mother Nature' really worked and were very effective in treating such challenges as food allergies & intolerances, eczema, asthma, hayfever, diarrhoea, constipation, fatigue, depression, acne and coughs & colds.
In 2006 as the family all regained vibrant health, Rae decided to fulfil her need to help others and began consulting to friends and extended family members and sharing her new knowledge.
The research and study began and every moment free from her family commitments Rae could be found tapping away at her computer or would have her head buried in books such as "The Fragrant Pharmacy" or her latest study module.
To this day not much has changed, Rae continues to share and expand her knowledge and educates others on avoiding toxic chemicals, nourishing the body with organic nutrition, balancing the intestinal bacterial balance, promoting an organic lifestyle, nurturing the body with essential oils & herbs and always recognising the power of the mind, body & spirit.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Well done Aldi!
Media Release
ALDI TAKES INDUSTRY LEAD TO REMOVE ARTIFICIAL FOOD
COLOURINGS FROM ALL PRODUCTS
ALDI today announced it is reformulating all its exclusive branded
food items to remove the six food colours which have been proven
to cause hyperactivity in children.
The process will be completed by the end of 2009.
A recent study by researchers at the University of Southampton
clearly demonstrated increased levels of hyperactivity in young children consuming some artificial food colours.**
The United Kingdom has since called for a voluntary ban on the
six food colours identified in the study, while many European manufacturers have already begun the process of reformulating
food products containing these artificial colours.
Michael Kloeters, Group Managing Director ALDI Stores, said ALDI
was taking a proactive approach based on findings in the
Southampton study.
“We chose not to wait for it to be legislated in Australia as
we believe the findings are enough to demonstrate it is the
right thing to do,” he said.
“We are reformulating all ALDI foods containing these six food
colours and either replacing with natural alternatives, or not
adding anything at all.
“Parents can be reassured they are lowering the risk of adverse reactions in their children if they are buying ALDI products.”
Consumers should look out for labels that state ‘no artificial
colours’ on the reformulated food products.
The six food colours ALDI is replacing with natural colours
are:
• Tartrazine (102) – may cause hyperactivity, linked to
allergic reactions and migraine
• Quinoline Yellow (104) – may cause hyperactivity, linked
to rashes
• Sunset Yellow (110) – may cause hyperactivity, linked
to stomach upsets and Swelling of skin
• Carmoisine (122) – may cause hyperactivity and is alleged
to cause water retention In those allergic to aspirin
• Ponceau (124) – may cause hyperactivity and is believed
to cause problems for Asthmatics
• Allura Red (129) – may cause hyperactivity; may bring
on allergic reactions
“We are in the process of removing, wherever possible,
a further eight artificial food colours used in Australian food manufacturing, as well as a number of preservatives which
have been identified as ‘undesirable’,” Mr Kloeters said.
“These are just an example of the many initiatives we have
underway to ensure the highest quality of our products.
“We work closely with our suppliers, and all our products
undergo rigorous testing to ensure
The quality is as good as, if not better than, leading brands.”
Aldi supermarkets have today announced their plan to
remove a total of 14 suspect colours and some undesirable preservatives from their entire range by the end of 2009.
This is a great boost to our efforts and we should feel proud
that the Kids First Campaign has played a role in driving
positive change such as this. Hopefully this is the thin edge
of the wedge and we will see Woolworths, Coles and IGA following
suit in the near future.
