ATTN: Canadian ICers: My supplier has stopped selling Natren products. I can'r find anywhere else . I'm looking for possible sources in Canada, preferably westcoast.
Can anyone help with this AND please advise how to start a new topic???...cannot find the "start new message" heading...

Lolo, to add a new topic when you click on Dr. Brizman's protocol thread at the very top of the page will be a button that says add new topic. Hope that helps! Sorry having trouble finding Natren products! Have you tried iherb?
Hi Lolo, If you live in the
Hi Lolo, If you live in the Vancouver area, Whole Foods (on 4th Ave and the one on Cambie Street) , Finlandia (on Broadway) and Choices (10th Ave in Burnaby) sell Natren products. I buy mine at Finlandia as I trust that the probiotics have been constantly refridgerated. I once saw a woman returing a bottle of Mega at Whole Foods (which she may or may not have kept refridgerated) For some reason, I'm under the impression Finlandia doesn't allow returns. I'm not sure about Choices. Good Luck.
Many thanks, CPrince! I
Many thanks, CPrince! I followed your directions and it worked! Iherb is great but too risky to send a perishable across the border (hold ups etc)
HOWEVER, along came EJH..Thank you..that solves my Natren problem. I am on Vancouver Island, but can purchase in Vancouver..
Ah if only all problems were solved with such community!
HI Lolo,
HI Lolo,
Great to meet another B.C.er on here! I would definitely call the above stores before you make the trip to ensure they have your probiotic in stock. I take the Mega and sometimes Finlandia is out of it. Good Luck. Not sure where you live on the island and whether you come to Tsawwassen or Horseshoe Bay but if its Tsawwassen and you come to the mainland frequently, if you don't have one already, I recommend getting a mail box in Point Roberts. I have my supplements shipped to a drop warehouse arcross the truck crossing and I go there to pick them up. Saves a lot on shipping and I haven't had to ever pay duty at the border. Just a thought if you are on the mainland anyway. Good luck.
ejh...thank you for this. It
ejh...thank you for this. It's something we've discussed and good to know it works and to have some details. Of course the ferry cost gets in the way for us..but still considering in the mix.
In the meantime, I've found a source in Duncan :) (I'm in Qualicum) and hope it will continue...a store worth a visit if you're ever in the area: The Community Farm Store on Railway, downtown. It's a co-op and a mix of organics, supplements, cafe, books and shop...
Any other BC tips are very welcome...
I drink Polaris Natural Spring water, order a lot from Iherb (under 4 lbs and over ?$ is $4 shipping, regular mail - no customs-dependable (and still often cheaper than locally)
I would love to find a safe bar soap (so expensive w/Bomamed shipping) and different shampoo (Theraneem currently). I'm using Dr Hauschka face lotion..
Have a Good day!!
Hmmm, so I just got the Gaia
Hmmm, so I just got the Gaia brand rhodiola, but it's a liquid rather than a powder in the capsule. Is this OK to use? The cap says it's a veggie cap, so I assume that's a no-no. Is anyone currently using Gaia and just dumping the liquid into their usual potion? Grrr. It was $25, so I hope I can use it...
Lolo,
Lolo,
I don't know how to email you directly so I am using this forum. I've never been to Duncan (hear it is a beautiful place) so I'm not sure how far it is from Victoria. I will be in Victoria next weekend (September 20th). If you need anything from over here, I can purchase it and bring it over to Victoria. You could pick it up at our hotel. Please let me know. (As I'm travelling with Mega, I've got the travelling ice pack ready to go).
Hi ejh! such a generous offer
Hi ejh! such a generous offer, thank you!
I just returned from Duncan and stocked up. Apparently they order Natren weekly. Boy, that's a nice bit of info. It's a lovely drive for us, so intend to make it s good regular trip. Duncan is within an hour's drive of Victoria, over the Malahat and quite lovely. If you are exploring, The Community Farm Co-op Store is in towm on Railway avenue. I enjoy it...good food, organic coffee, books, natural foods, supplements, books and gifts and GOOD people!
Enjoy Victoria hopefully still in the sunshine then, but always beautiful...

Hi Claire: Dr M okayed the capsule for me...??? I guess the safest thing for you is to empty it until you ask; but can tell you it works fine for me...hope this helps...sure miss Eclectic..it felt so right!
