Health Basket Hilton Your Health is Your Wealth 🌿
Natural products, heartfelt care & a passion for wellness. Welcome to Health Basket Hilton

Health Basket started in 2010.

It was started by Margot and Craig. Both Margot and Craig are passionate about natural health and healing because of Margot's health. So it was started out of a personal search for health. Both Margot and Craig worked in the shop building Health Basket to a beautiful family based shop that serves the community, and it serves the community with respect, love and pure caring. The 3 ladies who assist in the shop are all just as passionate about people and their health. They are all well trained but are also still learning daily. They are all constantly doing courses to building their knowledge. Health Basket was purchased in 2023 by Lee and Josh Marais. Lee has been in the Natural health industry since October 2004 and is a Natural Health Practitioner seeing patients on a daily basis. She owns a wellness centre called Essential Health Wellness Centre which is a wonderful sister company to Health Basket. The ethos, care and authenticity with both companies remains at a high calibre. And our patients health and care is always at the very top of our agenda. Josh joined Essential Health to work in the family business in 2021 and has known about natural medication since birth and has always had an affinity to it. He has bought his fresh eyes and knowledge into the business building it even better with new innovative ideas and specialised products. Essential Health and Health Basket truly are a family business from inception.

Stop drinking tap water!!!

☣️ After a scientific analysis, 16 estrogenic compounds were identified in drinking water (tap water), from the classes of hormones, pharmaceutical drugs and personal care products, plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, pesticides and surfactants.

♂️ Could this be the reason we are seeing such a drop in testosterone levels in adolescent males? Why the spike in male Gynecomastia (a condition where breast tissue enlarges), infertility, erectile dysfunction, delayed growth and puberty, or drastic mood swings? Oddly, all of these symptoms are linked to estrogen overload in biological males.

♀️ So what does estrogen overload mean for women? Many cancers feed on estrogen, especially cancers such as ovarian or breast.
Strangely, we have had a 1% increase in breast cancer cases every year since 2012. Could this be due to the drinking water? Or possibly a combination of our water and food that is packed full of powerful phytoestrogen plants such as soy?

👀 All of these things could be considered hearsay, or even a conspiracy.... However I have found in life, there are not many coincidences.

💦 SO WHAT CAN WE DO?
If you're someone that depends on public water, the chances are, it is toxic in more ways than one. The best thing you can do for you and your family is to purchase a high quality filtration system, at least for your drinking water. Companies such as Berkey, who I recommend, also offer shower filtration systems.

🙌 CAN A FILTER REMOVE HORMONES?
Activated carbon filters can remove a wide range of different endocrine disruptors, including steroidal estrogens and many estrogenic substances such as trihalomethanes.
Berkey filters are considered one of the best on the market. They are able to remove pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, fluoride and more.

🍃 FINAL THOUGHT
It is no surprise that we are living in an evergrowing toxic environment, where there is very little concern for health. No one is going to care about our safety and health better than ourselves. Sometimes it takes a little digging to ultimately get to the truth, and science is always catching up. Always do your own research on what is best for you and your family.

Estrogenic compounds are the endocrine disruptors that receive major attention because of their ability to imitate the natural female hormone, 17β-estradiol and cause adverse effects on the reproductive system of animals. The presence of estrogenic compounds in drinking water is a warning to assess...

🔬 Science Facts: Why Methylene Blue Is Being Studied in Long-Haul COVID

🔵 Science Fact 1: Mitochondrial energy support

Scientific research shows that methylene blue can act as a redox molecule that supports electron flow within mitochondria — the part of the cell responsible for producing energy (ATP).

➡ This is relevant because mitochondrial dysfunction and low cellular energy are commonly discussed in post-viral and long-haul COVID research.

🔵 Science Fact 2: Cellular oxygen utilisation

Methylene blue has been shown in research settings to improve how cells utilise oxygen, particularly under conditions of metabolic or oxidative stress.

➡ Efficient oxygen use is essential for brain function, muscle performance, and overall energy — areas often affected after viral illness.

🔵 Science Fact 3: Oxidative stress modulation

Methylene blue has antioxidant and redox-balancing properties, meaning it can help reduce excessive oxidative stress at a cellular level.

➡ Ongoing oxidative stress is frequently observed in chronic inflammation and post-viral states, including long-haul COVID.

🔵 Science Fact 4: Brain and neurological relevance

Research confirms that methylene blue can cross the blood–brain barrier, allowing it to interact directly with brain cells and neurological pathways.

➡ This has made it of scientific interest in conditions involving brain fog, cognitive fatigue, and neuroinflammation.

🔵 Science Fact 5: Ongoing research, not a cure

While methylene blue has a long history of medical use and strong biochemical rationale, research into its role in long-haul COVID is ongoing.

➡ This is why guidance, appropriate dosing, and individual suitability are essential.
