Your Immune System and Winter

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

What a nice Fall weekend! I know, it’s a little cool but the sun was out and we didn’t get any bad weather. It’s just accepting that Fall is here and might as well enjoy it. It sure has gotten dry again and I know that’s lending towards a lot of sinus problems due to all the dust and pollen in the air. We are using a lot of our product called Antronex , to help the liver have a higher capacity to drain lymphatics and get the gunk to go out through the bowel rather than backing up into the sinuses. We are also trying to remind patients to keep themselves hydrated and that helps the lymph fluids to drain correctly. And don’t forget that hydration includes not only good quality water but also the electrolytes, which is just a fancy word for mineral or sea salt.

Don’t forget about our health shops that were having on Monday nights at 6:15 live on Instagram and Facebook and then recorded on Brighteon.com and YouTube. This month were talking about getting Ready for Winter and this week were talking about Preparing the Immune System to handle the cold weather and the cold and flu season. I always like to remind people that the bugs are always out there but it’s your immune system that has to be working correctly to ward off sicknesses. We will all be exposed to everybody coughing and hacking at work or shopping or whatever, but if you have a strong immune system working for you, you won’t get sick or have a very light reaction. On the other hand, if your immune system is working poorly, the common flu can put you in the hospital for a couple weeks. If you figure out the cost of all that, lost wages, lost time, and just downright aggravation, the cost of a few supplements is very little and works much better than being in the hospital. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”-remember that saying?

The article that I’m sending along looks at the need to have a working gallbladder. Now I know there are many people out there who have had theirs removed, but if you can keep it, and keep it working correctly, the body will be much happier. And to remember that when a gallbladder goes “bad”, this is an indication that the liver is not happy and just removing the gallbladder does nothing to help the liver. At Natural Health, and with Nutrition Response Testing and good Chiropractic care, we can help keep the organs working correctly, and at optimum energy, so that the body can do what it needs to do to stay healthy. Your liver does so many things for the body that it’s almost as important as the heart but most people don’t realize that. Plus, our environment, with all the chemicals and toxins, strain the liver already and then adding anything to it causes it to be overloaded. This is what happens to the gallbladder over time where the bile is not produced correctly and is not released correctly and the gallbladder gets overloaded with stones and toxins and goes “bad”. Just removing an organ or gland does not help with strengthening the immune system or the other systems of the body. It just removes a symptom.

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short. The issu

Enjoy The Show

Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us. Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life. Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
