Over three years ago,I was 5 stoneoverweight and feltcontinuously tired. Iwas faced with havingto take medication forthe rest of my life tohandle my cholesterolas it was dangerouslyhigh. I was desperateto find a way to losemy weight.

Two of my friends had lost their weight with Rachel and I was very inspired by their results. Having tried so many different ways of losing weight, I felt going to Rachel was my last chance.

I started my weight loss program in Jan 07 and within five months I had lost five stone. My cholesterol was then retested and much to my delight it was normal! This was achieved without having to take medication. My constant tiredness was replaced with an abundance of energy and other well being benefits.

By following the simple guide lines for weight maintenance, it has been very easy to keepmy weight off. I can only say that I am extremely happy to be the same size as I waswhen I finished the program three years ago. The support Rachel gives for weight lossand maintenance is very personal and motivating – it would be hard to find elsewhere.

I have personally known at least 20 people who have lost their weight with Rachel and have all got excellent results.

My health and well being has greatly improved. Shopping for clothes is a real pleasure now. It is wonderful to be finally free from dieting - very liberating!

Hate being overweight?

twenty years later and that tree still holds the same magic it did all those years ago. I was incredibly lucky to grow up on the forest, I had a playground the other side of the garden fence that in it’s own way has shaped the person I am today: from damming streams and building camps to stalking rabbits and climbing

trees, all of these activities subtly

encouraged by my parents, gave me

more pleasure than a tV ever could.

the Bible for a young lad growing

up on the forest was the sAs survival

handbook, I still have mine: dog-

eared and stained with dirt, a tome

of absolute self-sufficiency, but how

often do we find ourselves in such

extreme situations? Perhaps that

is what prompted my six-month

experiment living amongst the

leaves? A return to the forest after five

unfulfilling years of chasing the pound

in the urban sprawl of London was

more than just a new lease of life.

to create an existence with your

bare hands is a wonderful thing

indeed and that was exactly what I

set out to achieve. we have become

so far removed from our connection

with the land, the subtle changes of

the seasons and rarely appreciate the

incredible landscape around us. By

….to the treesThere is a tree, not too far from goat’s cross roads, a grand old Scots pine with it’s lowest branch just within the grasp of a 8 year old. I used to climb to the top of the pine and simply gaze out upon the rolling hills of Sussex until they climaxed with the rise of the South Downs. To a small boy it seemed like the end of the earth, but I knew then, just as I do now that out there was adventure, adventure so close, I could touch it, smell it and see it everyday.



Article by Nick weston, Author Tree House Diaries: How to live wild in the wood

building a tree house

from recycled and

natural materials,

planting a vegetable

patch and adapting

to the simple life of a

hunter-gatherer, I was

able see how many

things we can do

without, but above

all, just how much we

take for granted. so

the next time, you step

out onto the Ashdown

forest, remember

how lucky you are to

have such a place

on your doorstep,

the adventure that

it can offer and of

course…all those trees

to climb!

so what drives

someone to give up

conventional adult

life and go back to

basics? I suppose

it was, in a sense,

a wish to return to

those carefree days

of my youth in which

anything seemed

possible and the tree

house was the

manifestation of

such dreams. At

a time when the

recession was

in full swing, the

only pressing

question I had to ask

myself was…why not?

what began as an

experiment to see if it

was a lifestyle I could

adhere to in the future

soon became one in

which I was thriving

and thoroughly

enjoying.

I feel truly honored

to have had a book

published about my

experience and the

chance to share it

with anyone who is

looking for something

they feel they may

have lost. The Tree House Diaries: How to live wild in the woods (Publisher: Collins & Brown) is more than

just a manual on the

trials and tribulations

of stumbling self-

sufficiency, it is a story

of what can happen

when you throw

caution to the wind,

get your hands on a

P45 and take control

of your own life…

Gardening Tips for JULYArticle by Michael dongray, Imberhorne Lane Nursery Proprietor

Shrubs. Summer blooming shrubs should be pruned for shape after they have finished flowering. Remove any dead or diseased branches.Fertilize flowering shrubs like Azaleas, Camellias and rhododendrons immediately after they have finished flowering with an ericaceous fertilizer.deadhead the developing seedpods from your rhododendrons and Azaleas to improve next year’s blooms. Be careful not to damage next year’s buds, which may be hidden just below the pod.

Fruit & VegetablesFertilize June bearing strawberries after the harvest, and ever-bearing varieties half way through the season. Protect your fruit from the birds with netting.ensure adequate watering during dry spells.

Lawnsduring dry spells raise the cutting height of the mower. taller grass keeps the roots cooler and helps to preserve moisture in the soil longer. Avoid using fertilizers in hot, dry weather.

RosesFeed roses monthly throughout the summer. spray regularly with an organic insecticide and fungicide to keep pest and disease at bay.

MiscellaneousContinue to deadhead annuals to increase flowering period. Fertilize patio containers and tubs with a general purpose liquid feed. Keep an eye out for slug and snail damage and treat accordingly.

old name for the Clump was the Camel’s hump, from the shape formed by the silhouettes of its pine trees.

In the 1920s, when the picture (above) w was taken, there were very few trees on the surrounding slopes, just open heathland.

Cross the drive and walk to the right of the cricket pitch. where the ride divides, bear right, leaving the pitch, and bear right at the next divide after �00ml. the ride descends more steeply and swings right and downhill into woodland & to a bridge over a streamm.

this area is known as tabell Ghyll. Its woodland is most unusual for the public part of the Forest with its many large trees, especially beech, and several hectares of planted sweet chestnut coppice. the area was sold off from the common land of the Forest in 169� and only ‘returned’ during world war two in exchange for the compulsory purchase of land elsewhere for military reasons.

In the map of 19�1 (below) the heavily wooded Ghyll is in marked contrast to the heath

to the north of the stream – a reflection of different land use over 250 years.

on crossing the bridge there is a choice of routes: either continue up the track and follow it for 1.� km, or turn right after about 15m and follow a small path that gradually climbs uphill parallel to the stream, and along an old boundary bank, for about 1.0 km. the two routes join up as they re-cross the stream higher up n.

the sweet chestnut coppice to the left of the main track (after a further 500m) is a useful source of wood to make poles for barriers, such as those by the car parks. throughout the Ghyll there are numerous paths through the undergrowth made by fallow deer. A large population, wary of visitors and their dogs, lives in private and military land nearby and at night moves elsewhere to feed. they eat all regrowth on coppiced chestnut and eventually kill the trees in the absence of any fencing.In the spring the pale yellow heads of wild daffodil grow beside the stream. In the summer male redstarts x sing loudly from the tops of the beech trees. Although

common in western Britain, they are a rare breeding species in the south east – indeed the Forest is by far the best place for them.

Follow the track until it emerges from the trees, and go straight across the grassy rideo towards the road, with Linton’s car park on the other side. y

Just a short trip to Forest Row

and you’ll have access to the

recently opened Riverview Dental

centre offering NHS Dental care.

Established at the end of last year

by Dr. Esmail Harunani founder or

Harunani & Co Group of Dental

Surgeries. The centre serves the

local communities of Forest Row

& surrounding towns & villages.

With modern decor, the use

of the latest equipment & a

high level of service, it boasts

facilities rivalling any private

dental surgery. Many local dental

patients have welcomed a new

local surgery offering NHS &

Private dentistry alike. This includes

treatment ranging from pain relief

to cosmetic treatment enhancing

the appearance of your smile.

Harunani & Co. Group of

Dental Surgeries was established

in 1986. With years of experience

& the latest training in Dentistry,

Dr Harunani oversees several

successful Dental Centres across

the South East, the Riverview

Dental Centre being the most

recent to open.

On asking what he feels

Riverview Dental Centre, being

an NHS Dentist, can offer clients

he comments:

“We have experienced

ethical dentists who explain the

treatment options clearly and are

transparent with their explanation

of costs.

“Even though we are treating

patients on the NHS we have

set up a modern state of the art

surgery, fully compliant with the

appropriate health and safety

and decontamination guidelines.

We have made the practice

patient focused, which aims at

making the dental experience

pleasant for all patients. Our

waiting rooms are designed to

be friendly. We have a plasma

screen showing before and after

photos that we have carried

out. The surgeries are equipped

with live cameras and screens

in which patients can view the

state of their teeth real time.

Patients have found this to be an

invaluable tool which helps them

understand the condition of their

teeth.

“Clients have commented on

the time the dentist spends with

them explaining the different

treatment options in a transparent

manner. This has given them

BackgroundMarc Koska oBe has worked tirelessly over the last 25 years on Global healthcare with a particular focus on Injection safety. After spending years researching the syringe industry Marc invented an Ad (Auto disable) syringe – the K1, that physically prevents re-use.

to-date Marc and the K1 have been credited with saving well over 9 Million lives, but product alone will never stop this silent epidemic, which is why Marc set up the safePoint trust in 2006.

the main purpose of safePoint is to use information to solve this basic healthcare need and this is achieved by delivering hard-hitting, powerful public awareness campaigns. Marc and safePoint have two approaches: first they work hard to ensure that the public are educated at grass root level, through short public information films and secondly they lobby extensively for legislation change at ministerial level.

Shocking facts & figures:

Each and every year due to unsafe injections there are:

2�,000 hIV Infections1,000,000 hepatitis C Infections21,000,000 hepatitis B InfectionsresULtING IN 1,�00,000 deAths eACh YeAr (WHO, World Health Organisation, figures)Malaria kills 1,000,000, so this silent epidemic kills more people each year (according to the who)At least 50% of injections given were unsafe (report written by who)A syringe is used on average 7 times in the developing worldevery 24 seconds a child dies as a result of an unsafe injection

Global Challenge: Climbing Killimangaro & TanzaniaA team of five mums will climb Kilimanjaro at the end of october, raising enough money to donate 2 Million syringes to tanzania. the syringes will be presented to hon Prof. david Mwakyusa, health Minister, once the team have completed the climb. safePoint are raising this money through corporate (or personal) donations of £5,000, for more information or a sponsorship pack, please contact: [email protected].

tanzania are at the forefront of safe healthcare in Africa, they are to become one of only two countries converted to using Ad syringes in this eCsA (east, Central & southern Africa) region. with a policy in place, trained healthcare workers and a public information film donated by SafePoint, they are ready to reduce country medical costs and ease the hIV / hepatitis disease burden. More importantly with this donation we will ensure they have enough product to stock their 26 regions at the start of this initiative.
