At Shaw Treatment, we (Michelle & Brad) spend a lot of time researching Africa. Our daily reading materials and briefings remind us of the various wars for, over and against, that Africans face on a daily basis. Whether it be water, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, or famine, we spend a lot of time learning about new developments and the charities that are working the front-lines combating them. After years

Well, it's been sometime since we last posted and we apologize. This past year has been pretty good for Shaw Treatment. We made it to television, namely CTV, and also had a few of our products featured in some growing and popular Canadian magazines including: 2 Magazine for Couples, Canadian Living, & Style.

Imagine our surprise this morning when we awoke to find an email in our inbox. Ok this email was in amongst several junk emails involving the apparent loss of a half dozen rich relatives whose lawyer wanted my account information so he could send me the millions of dollars we had inherited.

We believe that we have pretty exciting jobs at Shaw Treatment. Not only do we feel empowered by the fact that we're donating money to support relief in Africa, but we also feel empowered and obligated to go the extra mile when it comes to our products.It would be pretty easy for us to just toss out 10 new products without any regard for the ingredients, packaging or benefits. But that's not what
