Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A bucket lies ready for the next downpour of water and cockroaches.

Black mould emanates in every joint of kitchen vinyl flooring, while light switches and power points spark dangerously throughout the house when it rains.

A bucket lies ready for the next downpour of water and cockroaches.

Black mould emanates in every joint of kitchen vinyl flooring, while light switches and power points spark dangerously throughout the house when it rains.

It’s a living hell, but one Lisa Kelly has endured for a decade since the February 2011 earthquake. The Earthquake Commission (EQC) says while repairs to the whole roof may have been needed, only a small portion was exacerbated directly by the earthquake, and any quake-related damage had been addressed.

Minimum purchase is 3 plants(no exceptions) as I learnt a long time ago,that if people spend a decent amount of money,they tend to look after them better and I don't end up replacing perfectly good plants.

DESIGNED TO HEAL AND REJUVENATE DAMAGED AND AGING SKIN.

Millions of people around the world are turning to a non-invasive cosmetic light-therapy procedure to enjoy a more youthful appearance; without undergoing surgery. The Swiss made BIOPTRON is the market leader in anti-aging light therapy treatment.

Until now, the benefits of BIOPTRON could only be achieved with a series of salon and clinic treatments. But now you can visibly restore the natural luminosity of your entire face, reduce discoloration, improve skin texture and smooth hard-to-treat wrinkles in the comfort of my healing room.

Penetrating beams of light continuously rebuild collagen beneath the skin's surface for a more youthful, radiant and refreshed look in as little as 2 weeks.

BIOPTRON penetrates deep into the dermis layer, stimulating cells that produce collagen. So a simple 20-minute application of BIOPTRON every day is enough to give you healthier, younger looking skin with less wrinkles.

Best results are seen when you come every day or every second day. Book a 10 day appointment $200

Hello Neighbours. I would like to offer you my Immune Supplements consisting of the following products to support Early Action for Faster Recovery. All are made in New Zealand and are of very high quality

QUERCETIN - Quercetin acts as an antiviral, an anti-inflammatory agent, and an antioxidant all in one. As a polyphenol derived from leafy green plants like green tea and broccoli, its potential as an inhibitor for COVID-19 and other viruses has been the subject of much research. Thus far, quercetin has shown promise in promoting and enhancing the inflammation response to viruses like COVID-19

NAC - Good defense against viral infections. NAC has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating characteristics that may prove beneficial in the treatment of respiratory conditions. NAC can relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions by acting as an antioxidant and expectorant, loosening mucus in your air passageways. As an antioxidant, NAC helps replenish glutathione levels in your lungs and reduces inflammation in your bronchial tubes and lung tissue.

K2D3 – (Vitamin D3 5000iu plus Vitamin K2) When taken regularly, vitamin D helps prevent the production of excessive inflammatory cytokines and amplifies the pathogen-fighting abilities of important white blood cells that provide your immune response. Research also suggests that vitamin D helps stimulate peptides that reside in your respiratory tract and help protect your lungs against infections. Vitamin D is notoriously hard to get adequate levels of, even with a healthy diet, so supplementation is key.

VITA ZINC - Zinc is perhaps one of the best supplements to boost your immune system, as it helps your body moderate the production of inflammatory cytokines and plays a vital part in your body’s immune response to pathogens. Also, zinc has been shown to specifically address respiratory tract infections.

VITAMIN C – Vitamin C has several mechanisms of action that give it wide-ranging benefits to the body. It is a water-soluble antioxidant that promotes a healthy immune system, and supports connective tissue formation.

COLLOIDAL SILVER NASAL SPRAY – Reduce Viral Load. Application specific for nasal passages, to help clear nasal infections/irritations. For immune support, acute and chronic infection and will support the body in natural healing.

Please purchase from my website www.immersioncosmetics.co.nz...

The mask does not eliminate the risk of contracting any disease or infection. 2. Improper use may lead to illness or even death. 3. Some materials in direct contact with skin may cause allergic reactions or even anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals. 4. for adults only. Do not wash. Whaaaat? Who is the idiot that imported these?
Update - I contacted the Ministry of Health to find out if these masks met NZ Standards. They were not interested and they transferred me through MBIE who said the Ministry of Health should be dealing with this. Nothing to do with MBIE. The Pharmacy said the warning is just there so consumers cant sue the company but refunded the cost. Im still working on it and will update soon
Update - This is the reply I received from Medsafe "Masks are considered devices in New Zealand. New Zealand legislation does not require a pre-approval process for devices. Companies may import devices without prior approval from Medsafe the regulatory arm of the Ministry of Health. They must notify their import onto WAND database" ! All masks sold in NZ are not required to be tested or meet NZ Standards as they are classified as devices
