Spring Allergies



            I hope you had a great weekend despite all the hubbub. At least it’s starting to warm up and look more like Spring all the time. We have gotten plenty of moisture to bring up the May flowers and the grass is greening up so will hear those lawnmowers starting again soon. We’re starting to notice some of our patients developing some Spring allergies and we have great products to help the liver detox the body so that these pollens don’t bother. This goes right along with all the other immune system strengthening that we do, helping the body to detoxify itself so that the liver can handle any foreign invaders that may show up.

            Of course all you hear on the news now is about the coronavirus so I’ve included an article from the New England Journal of medicine that shows the actual statistics and that the coronavirus may be no more of the problem than the regular flu. The mainstream media loves to hype up everything to keep you glued to the TV and help their ratings improve, plus sell more advertising. I’ve been telling all my patients not to watch the news, or very little of it. These people try to instill fear in us and fear is in emotion that is hard on the immune system. The worst thing we can do is sit in front of the tube listening to hype and being afraid eating crappy food. You’re just asking for trouble than. As weather warms up, hopefully we can get outside into the fresh air and sunshine and activate that vitamin D which is essential for immune system function. Vitamin D and vitamin A are oil soluble vitamins and their precursors come from getting good fats and oils in the diet, with the ability to digest them, which is a liver function again.

            At Natural Health, we have ways of checking the body’s functioning through our Nutrition Response Testing technique, we have ways of restoring the bodies nerve function to help coordinate the immune system with good chiropractic adjustments, and ways of helping to reduce fear and stress with emotional techniques. We all need to have our bodies working at optimum so we don’t have to worry about all the bugs out there. We have survived the plague, the Spanish flu, the swine flu, the bird flu, SARS, Ebola, etc. This is done by having a strong immune system. People are hoping for a magic pill or vaccine but they don’t work unless you have a functioning immune system.

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.

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

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
