About Better By Nature

At Better by Nature, we believe that health and well-being is achieved by working in harmony with your body and nature, while ill health is often the result of the modern environment in which we all live.

With continual exposure to pollution, electromagnetic radiation, the side effects of medical drugs, and the level of stress in our everyday lives, it is no wonder that modern life takes it's toll on the human body.

Our hectic 21st century lifestyle plus convenience foods, antibiotics/drugs/steroids, together with a polluted environment of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, computers, wifi etc. burn up our nutritional resources which our mind and body need to function properly causing nutritional deficiency, mental tiredness, stress, lack of energy and a weak immune system.

These ever growing demands effect the vital balance in the gut with the invasion of bad gut flora followed by toxins entering the bloodstream causing chemical imbalances in the brain which effect our alertness and mental capacity to cope. 99% of the time the job of a healthy immune system, which is more active in the gut than anywhere else, is to switch off adverse reaction to food and toxins.

Better By Nature has been created to provide you with access to the right products, so that you can make the best choice on your health and well-being

We feature a range of products that work in harmony with your body and nature, comprising synergistic remedy.

The brainchild of Michael Riley and Jane Fletcher, the Riley Fletcher Foundation was originally founded in 1997 with the aim of developing efficacious natural herbal remedies, affordable and available to all, helping to achieve our vision of "Every child born healthy all over the world". With the first trial underway the Foundation is now raising funds to support further clinical trials ranging from common ailments to more serious conditions.

Jane Fletcher has over 20 years experience as a complementary health practitioner, qualified in aromatherapy, reflexology, Bach flower remedies, and specialist aspects of homeopathy. She has also pioneered the efficacious effects of taking essential oils internally, known as aromatology. Jane was also a courageous "guinea pig" for the earliest herbal formulas. She suffered from ME/chronic fatigue, Candida and hormonal problems and each time made a remarkable recovery after taking our herbal remedies.

Michael Riley has a strong business and commercial background, with a career building Rileys into a major advertising and HR group and developing the UK's first indoor tennis center. As a "Victor Ludorum" athletics champion at school and a keen sportsman with a natural interest in health, Michael developed an interest in the health properties of Aloe Vera with Forever Living - the Aloe Vera company - leading to a strong interest in natural approaches to health and well-being 12 years of study and research resulted in the Foundation's original patented synergistic herbal remedies, combining Aloe Vera, Chinese and Western herbs, pure essential oils, spices, probiotics and nutrition. Michael and Jane were finalists two years running in the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, Virginia, US "Strongest Link Technology" and "UK to US Touchdown Biotechnology" competitions.

Now available as, simple spray under the tongue, energy signatures of the original herbal remedies under the Better by Nature brand, we are pleased to feature these leading natural products that fit our philosophy.

Our History

Synergistic Herbaceuticals

The Better by Nature range of products have been developed over a 12 year period, combining the thinking of Western and Eastern traditional cultures and beliefs into a One World concept.

The first phase of development centered on the study of using topical application of essential oils, as in aromatherapy, and was followed by the use of oils used internally, as in aromatherapy. Research then extended to include the interaction of aloe vera, Chinese and Western herbs and spices, and nutrition.

Organic ingredients were sourced for their purity from all over the world, and unique, natural, plant based herbal formulas were developed, capitalizing on the synergistic effects of the various ingredients - synergy is the phenomenon whereby the combined effect of two or more things is greater than the sum of their separate effects - and synergistic effects of nutritional ingredients are well documented. UK and US patents were subsequently granted covering the Foundation's work.

Each of these herbal remedies included core nutritional elements, supplemented by herbs, vitamins, minerals and oils, used traditionally in Western and Eastern cultures for treating various conditions. The herbal formulas covered the needs of detoxing, to cleanse and balance the gut, conditioning to address particular health and well-being concerns, and ongoing nutrition to support the body.

Medicines from Plants

"The Art of Medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease."
- Voltaire, Philosopher

The development of medicines from plants is not a new phenomenon. Aspirin is a well-known example. Indeed, it is estimated that a quarter of the active components of currently prescribed medicines were first identified in plants.

However, in recent times the search for new medicines in the developed world has tended to focus on the use of single active compounds. This fails to take into account the interaction or "synergy" between all the chemical compounds a plant has to offer. Synergy is the phenomenon whereby the combined effect of two or more things is greater than the sum of their separate effects, and synergistic effects of nutritional ingredients are well documented. For example, Vitamin C has been shown to improve the uptake of Vitamin E.

All Better by Nature Homeopathic Remedies can be delivered to and utilized by the body safely and efficiently. Simple spray delivery under the tongue allows for improved uptake of all the beneficial components via the bloodstream compared to ingestion and processing via the gut.

Understand how you can feel better, fitter, healthier by introducing the right ingredients to your body's immune system during Better by Nature's "8 weeks to a better you" course and how, over this vital period, including first cleansing then choosing the right Caring Remedy to either address a particular condition, lifestyle issue, or general well-being and ongoing support.

From Herbaceuticals to Energy Remedies

Better by Nature Homeopathic Remedies provide excellent value, having captured the energy signatures of both the impression and proportion of each of the ingredients of the mother herbal formula in a water/alcohol mix. They carry the complete herbal remedy message in essence, providing support for the body's innate healing process, offering the following:

• Convenience. A simple spray under the tongue morning and night - the Remedy is delivered straight into the bloodstream and tissues of the body, achieving 10-20 times improved uptake compared to traditional digestion via the gut.
• No known side effects.
• Remedies cost approximately 100% less than the mother herbal formula.
• Remedies can be purchased immediately as they are classified as food/drink.

All the cells in our body are made up of water and energy. The late French biologist Jacques Benevista discovered the basic functional language of our cells is electromagnetic.

We are all a complex energy field. The body processes nutrition to feed the body's energy field and in this way nutrition and the ability to ingest nutrition is key to physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Better by Nature - working in harmony with your body and nature - recognizes the key role of energy in our biological make up and well-being.

The Gut-Brain Connection

"All diseases begin in the gut." - Hippocrates, 460-370BC

A specialist pays attention to the organs and conditions he or she knows best. Few pay real attention to the various interactions, including the gut-brain connection.

The body, however, lives and functions as a whole. All the systems, organs, tissues and cells depend on each other, affect and communicate with each other.

Millions of drugs including pain killers, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, antidepressants, sleeping pills, and many more are prescribed daily. Mainly they have to pass through the digestive system before they reach the area of the body they are meant to help. The side effects on your poor digestive system are many and well documented.

Interestingly, it has been discovered that a vast number of psychiatric patients suffer from digestive problems, which frequently are ignored by their doctors. Medical history has also shown many examples where severe psychiatric conditions were cured by simply "cleaning out the patient's gut".

Renowned Japanese Professor Kazudzo Nishi estimated at least 10% of psychiatric conditions are due to self-intoxication coming from the bowel.

A specialist pays attention to the organs and conditions he or she knows best. Few pay real attention to the various interactions, including the gut-brain connection. This is why Better by Nature gives a high priority to detoxing first with the Preparing Remedy and whatever reconditioning may be necessary is approached in a second step with the appropriate Caring Remedy.
