Chiropractic Adjustments and Immune System Support


With all the hubbub and excitement about the current health crisis, it seems unimportant to talk about the weather like I usually do to start my comments. It is important to realize though that the weather can be blamed for some of this crisis. Going through winter and being stuck inside and away from the sun for so long decreases our active vitamin D and just gets us into a general feeling of blah. Hopefully we’ll get some warm weather and clear skies soon which will pretty much eradicate the problems with this virus, as it does every year. The question that we all need to ask ourselves is will we have to go through this every year now? If folks would learn from this crisis that they need to work on keeping their immune system strong, and not worried about all the bugs, we wouldn’t have to deal with this problem. Unfortunately though, the mainstream medical system is geared for treatment and not for prevention or strengthening of the body. Insurance only pays for these treatments so most folks feel that prevention must not be that important then. Nothing is further from the truth and we are seeing this now.

            At Natural Health, we have 3 main ways to prevent the situation from happening in our patients. You’ve heard me talk about our Nutrition Response Testing technique being able to help improve immune function many times in the past and many of you out there know this firsthand. Our energy coaching work helps a lot with the emotional stresses that people are under, helping to remove that negative energy and freeing the body to heal itself. For this mailing, I want to focus on the Chiropractic side and help people to understand how a simple adjustment can help the nervous system improve immune system function. I’m attaching a historical paper that shows how well Chiropractic adjustments helped in the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 – 1919. It’s very remarkable. And for those that are worried about insurance, most insurances pay for Chiropractic treatment. We’re going to have to learn though that insurance companies don’t know much about true health care. At Natural Health, we’re not worried about bugs because we know how to strengthen immune systems. We just want to help you and yours be confident in your ability to handle these infections. Flu season happens every year so let’s be prepared.

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.

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
