Natural Immune Support
Wellness remedy – IMMUNE SUPPORT –
With the winter we are having, we simply cannot forget to support our immune system. Alongside the vitamin C and Zinc etc, this beautiful natural mix of potentised herbs sure will make it difficult for a bug to take over your health.
IMMUNE SUPPORT is jam-packed with anti-viral herbs, antiseptic ingredients, and immune boosting properties. This remedy is best used to help prevent a viral infection from happening. So if you know there are “bugs-going-around”, this will be your go-to maintenance for the whole family. If you feel you are coming down with a bug, this remedy can still be used, at a higher dosage, to give you a good chance at warding it off before it really takes over.
If you did catch a bug and ended up in the “cough-and-snots” stage, we can make you a remedy specific in support of that.
IMMUNE SUPPORT can be used alongside any medication or medical treatments and does not interact or interfere. IMMUNE SUPPORT can be used with children and teenagers as well. If you order this remedy with them in mind, I will adjust the dosage to their age.
During the month of August IMMUNE SUPPORT will cost you only $20 and it will last you 4-5 weeks.
HOUSING AND COUNCILS 10 YEAR PLAN
Housing and the Council’s Ten Year Plan…
Actually, housing gets barely a mention in the Council’s Ten Year Plan.
And that is a significant problem because we all, except it seems the Council, are aware of the effects of the ‘baby boomer’ generation is happening now!
We have a rapid increase in the number of older adults over the age of 65 and a dramatic increase in adults over the age of 85 years.
Age Sector NZ has stated that 61,121 retirement units will be needed within the next ten years.
Statistics NZ estimates by 2040 approximately 600,000 65+ will be renting, so many of them will be living alone.
More older adults will experience housing insecurity in the coming years unless the country dramatically increases its supply of affordable homes for people ages 65 and up, who make up roughly one-fifth of the nation.
The Council currently operate 145 housing units for the elderly in a self-funded model. This approach is not keeping up with the need to upgrade and expand the housing stock. We are proposing to create a working capital fund of approximately $4m at a cost of $200,000 per
annum to provide for:
• Improvement and expansion of the housing for elderly service noting that this is contrary to
the current self-funding position of the Housing for the Elderly Policy.
• Expanding Council’s role in the provision of housing beyond housing for the elderly.
Given the crisis facing housing for older people this demonstrates a clear lack of interest, let alone commitment to the growing plight of so many of our older citizens.
An increasing share of people with low and fixed incomes will struggle to afford appropriate housing in the coming decade and we just don't have the housing and supports that we need for this growing population.
Our Council seems to continually dodge this issue - but it is growing larger day by day.
What can you do?
Contact your Council and tell them your concerns re housing for older adults.
If you can – urgently contact the Council by emailing a submission detailing your concerns to submissions@npdc.govt.nz or going online to: npdc.govt.nz/10-year-plan
Affordable housing for vulnerable older adults in our community is a ‘must’ not a ‘nice to have’
