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.

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...
