Diet and Immune System


What a great weekend. It’s really starting to look like spring and I noticed the frogs are chirping. The old wives tale is that the frogs must see through ice thrice before there’s no more freezes so I think that means 2 more freezes. We’ll see how true this is. The sunshine and warm weather yesterday was so nice so be sure and get out and get that vitamin D activated, which is only done in sunshine. You can take all the artificial vitamin D you want but it doesn’t become activated without sunshine. Sunshine is good for you, in limited amounts, despite what the dermatologists say. Mankind has been in the sun for millennia so if people have skin problems, it’s not the sun’s fault, it’s that person’s immune system that is failing.

            The theme for this month is Diet to the article that I sent along this week looks at the problems with eating junk food and all the sugary stuff that people get into. This type of “food” is so very hard on the body and destroys the immune system. The article talks about just one week of binging on this type of food lends toward sickness. This is not guesswork anymore as all the research is in and it is fact. At Natural Health, we help patients get off of this addictive junk food merry-go-round. It’s important to realize that refined sugar is more addictive than alcohol and cocaine. When we are working with our patients to get them off of this drug, we have to go through a detox of the body’s cleaning systems, get digestion back online so that the patient can absorb the good foods they eat and add minerals to the diet so that their cravings stop.

            If you look at our society and how the holidays set us up for falling into this junk food merry-go-round, you can see why so many people are becoming sick and having degenerative disease because of these habits. For example, the next big one coming up is Easter and what does everyone have to have-jellybeans and chocolate Easter eggs or chocolate Easter bunnies. If they have been off of sugar and start that again, it will suck them right back into the junk food merry-go-round. I’ve done a demonstration before using a can of Coca-Cola and one Twinkie which destroys the immune system for that day because of the refined sugars. This is important for all those out there who are afraid of the coronavirus.

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

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...
