Gene Watkins Memorial 1939-2014

Dr. Eugene C. Watkins B.S.ed., M.S., N.D. after nine

years of teaching High School Science, was intrigued

with the field of Natural Healing. This led to further

education and ultimately obtaining his Doctorate in

Naturopathy. He dedicated himself to the practice and

conveying his knowledge to students throughout the

United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. He

was also the founder and President of Pure Herbs,

LTD., which for the last 35 years has manufactured

and distributed herbal extracts and vitamins. Gene

Watkins was not only a dedicated teacher, but through

his travels touched many lives and became a lifelong

friend and mentor.

His passing on June 23rd, 2014 is

a great loss, not only to family,

but also to all those who have

known and loved him.

END-OF-MONTH REMINDER FOR DIRECTORS:

For those Directors who need to make their $100.00 and/or $1000.00 by

sy notification calls at the end of the month. Please check your mid-month statements for status and you can, of course, continue to call us

ing us with a User ID and Password, you can access your P.V. (Purchase

PRICE LIST UPDATE: You will soon notice that the price list has been

updated. It will now list the single herb products,

then combination products, with the capsules/

vitamins and miscellaneous items available at the end. We hope this change will make it easier for

everyone to find what they need. For example

certain items like Eazy CoQ10 will now be listed under the Vitamin section, instead of being mixed

in with the E’s, Alfalfa capsules will be under the

heading of Encapsulated Supplements/Minerals,

rather than being mixed in with the single herbal extracts/oils and Spray bottles will be under the

heading of Misc. products, as opposed to being

under “S’ for Spray/Mist bottles. This change will help all of our valued customers.

INMPORTANT NOTE RE: D.A.N.-C FORMULA

We wanted to let you all know that we have D.A.N.-C back in stock. We

did have to change the formula slightly. The Lady’s Slipper Root has now been

replaced with Scullcap. Unfortunately, Lady’s Slipper Root is no longer availa-

ble.

**BOTTLE SHIPPING

Our standard shipping policy is that

1 ounce and 4 ounce bottles are sepa-

rate orders. This has not changed.

While we are in transition with many

products on backorder for testing and

production, we have allowed mixed

sized orders up to 20 bottles maximum.

This means your 1 ounce, 4 ounce and

capsules can ship in one box as long as

the TOTAL bottle count is no more

than 20. Once our stock is replenished,

we will discontinue the 20 bottle mixed

size boxes, but we will still allow

mixed sized boxes up to 10 bottles

maximum. We will advise when this

policy is changed back to 10 bottles.

CELANDINE

IT’S BACK! We decided not discontinue this product.

Sorry for the inconvenience and we

thank you for your understanding.

QUOTE CORNER

“A crutch is supposed to be temporary,

just until we heal, or until we can get by on our

own. It’s not supposed to be permanent, even

when our crutch is someone important to us.

One of the hardest things to accept is that not

everyone is meant to be in our lives forever.”

Joel Osteen

IMPORTANT PURE HERBS COMPANY UPDATE:

We would like to take the time to thank each and every one of our val-

ued Directors and Distributors for their patience while we have been

making numerous required changes. We understand it has been diffi-

cult on all of you, as well as it has been on us here at Pure Herbs. We

are doing the best we can to get products back in stock as quickly as

we can. Unfortunately, the entire manufacturing process from start to

finish, is much more involved than it has been in past years. We have

to send everything we manufacture out for testing, numerous times.

In addition, it has become more difficult over the past year to find cer-

tain products, due to some of our suppliers going through exactly what

we’re going through. We understand your frustrations and hope you

will continue to support us and be patient for as long as it takes us to

get caught up. We sincerely appreciate all of you and thank you for

your dedication in helping others. Change can be stressful and frus-

trating at times, however once we are through this, the process should

be smoother!
