Coronavirus and Your Immune System


Well it wasn’t the greatest weekend weather-wise but at least the snow didn’t stick and this week should be warmer. We’re getting plenty of moisture so those May flowers should really look nice. I really like this time of year because we’re anticipating Spring but it’s not quite here yet. The birds are chirping and the grass is starting to green up a little bit but there’s still that cold nip in the air. I see people running around in shorts and flip-flops already but it’s really a little early.

            Our theme for this month is Diet, so I’ve included an article that looks at foods that can hurt the body. It’s important to realize that there are good foods that help heal the body but there are also “foods” that can harm the body, especially if eaten over long periods of time, like years and decades. At Natural Health, we strive to teach our patients about what foods work best for their body. We can tailor their diet to what best suits them and keep them healthy. Wouldn’t you like vibrant health and lots of energy? Of course it takes a little work but all things that are worth having do.

            Please don’t forget about our Health Shop tonight at 6 o’clock. We have decided to forgo the normal topic this month on digestion and diet and talk about the coronavirus and how you can help yourself through all this. It’ll be a great presentation on the other side of the coin, not worrying about the bug but getting your immune system working. We’ll talk about the immune system itself and what it takes to keep it working correctly. The media’s whipping this into a big deal, there is cause for concern, but let’s not panic. I’m old enough to have lived through the swine flu which was way blown out of proportion. SEE you at the Health Shop tonight, in the office in person, or on Instagram and Facebook.

            I would be remiss if I didn’t mention something about the coronavirus here. The main point to realize is that if you keep your immune system strong, the body can handle these things. But if you’re already having health issues that weaken your immune system, you have reasons for concern. If you wonder how your body is doing, please come in and get a Nutrition Response Testing exam and we’ll find out what you need to keep your immune system in good working order. There’s lots of hype out there which makes the stress worse. Come in to find out how we can keep your body working well.

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

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...

  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
