Mainstream Demand for “Alternatives”
New Study Shows Consumer Health and Wellness Shopping Habits within the OTC Category

Newtown Square, Pa., July 22, 2010—Eighty-two percent of U.S. women shoppers ages 25–70 are attempting to limit their overall usage of traditional over-the-counter (OTC) medications. While they believe in the efficacy of OTCs, they feel these products aren’t “good” for them, especially when used frequently. A sizable number of shoppers consider purity/healthfulness (42 percent) and lack of chemicals/irritants (31 percent) to be important factors in choosing OTC products.

This is one of the key findings in a new study conducted by The Hartman Group on behalf of Boiron, world leader in homeopathic medicines. More than 1,400 women who are the primary shopper for their household participated in the online study administered January 29–February 3, 2010.

Despite wanting options to traditional OTCs, shoppers lack knowledge of homeopathic medicines. Most respondents said they just don’t know enough about it, which may be a key barrier to usage. After these same shoppers were given a minimal definition of homeopathic medicines highlighting the benefits (i.e. safe, no side effects), at least one-third of the users for each product category (cough, cold and flu relievers, pain management, etc.) said they were then interested in trying homeopathic medicines.

Fifteen percent of the shoppers said they have used homeopathic medicine for themselves, and 14 percent said they have used homeopathic medicine for their children in the past 12 months.

This most recent study aligns with other Hartman Group studies that point to health and wellness no longer being a niche market dominated by a small group of consumers. It’s a long-term change that reflects how consumers view their lives and the products they purchase. Symptomatic of this, 27 percent of shoppers have successfully used a natural/alternative OTC medicine in the past, and an additional 55 percent who have not tried these products are interested.

Ready for “alternatives” to jump into mainstream retail shops, shoppers were asked what the most important purchasing factor is besides price/value. “Easily being able to find the product where I shop” ranked second only to effectiveness. Currently shoppers most often purchase natural OTC products in non-traditional stores.

Those interested in safe, family medicines for everyday conditions that work naturally to restore health can learn more about homeopathic medicines by visiting http://www.BoironUSA.com,
calling the Boiron Information Center at 1-800-BOIRON-1 (800-264-7661) or e-mailing info@boiron.com. Boiron’s most popular items can quickly and affordably be picked up without prescriptions in chain pharmacies, grocery stores and mass merchant outlets. The company’s full line of homeopathic drugs can be found in health food stores and independent pharmacies nationwide.

CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE WASHINGTON
ON REAL FOOD SAFETY
VIDEOS ON THE NEW PLANT YOUR DREAM WEBSITE
http://plantyourdream.net


THESE ARE OUR AIMS

1-To support mobilization of one Farmers’ Market in our local area, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego. To continue to work with local organic farmers and help them sell more of their produce.

2-To continue to develop a 1/3 acre parcel of land near San Diego State College named the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds where those who live here and who live around the world may study our process of learning how to keep the beat with nature through learning to live together cooperatively as a household that seeks to live in harmony with the earth. The motto of the house will be Keep The Beet. Through growing a simple beet in a pot, we can regain our beat with nature. Not all in the house garden. Some like to prepare food. Others help with other jobs, or rent. The land, as of January 2010 is being refinanced. A Trust to hold the land is being explored. The Seed Dream would be to leave a museum and park for future generations to learn from this experiment in cooperative living that has been going on since the early 1970′s. The intent is that what we learn here can help others, and Washington, understand and adapt to some of the shifts being asked of all of us now.

3- To develop relationships with those who influence Washington and government. A vast coalition across all political, religious, and philosophical lines has now formed. Mainstream media needs to be reached through bloggers filling the gap where journalism once told all points of view. Elected leaders need to be encouraged to follow the principles expressed in the song “America The Beautiful.”

4- We see the world as we know it now coming to an end. A Shift has already happened. It is for each of us to adapt to the earth and relearn the laws of nature, rather than attempt to further adapt nature to our ways. The source of our economic and health crisis is that we have lost our beat with nature. We can regain the beet through becoming once again a nation of gardeners who live in a world of gardeners. One Pot+One person=You are a Gardener. Start to grow your own food now.
