Coronavirus Statistics & Pre-exisitng Conditions



            I hope that you had a great and Blessed Easter, and was able to get into the mood of the day. It sure was strange not being able to go to church, especially on Easter Sunday. Again we’re seeing signs that this will be over soon but we all need to look at our health status and keep this from happening again. Mainstream medicine is doing their thing right now and helping people to make it through their illness, which is great, but just treating people over and over with medications is not helping people get healthy and vibrant.

            I’ve included an article today that reports 99% of the Italian fatality’s had pre-existing diabetes or heart disease. I think we will find that the statistics from other countries will show a similar trend. We all knew that people with lowered immunity would be the ones hardest hit. It’s time for us to get away from this mainstream medical paradigm of treating disease with drugs or surgery and look at a new paradigm of getting people actually healthy and not needing to be on these drugs or need surgery. Don’t get me wrong, there will always be a need for medical care, especially in emergencies, but we are treating everyone as an emergency even though it’s a chronic problem and folks are not getting well. There is so much information out there on vitamins and minerals and good diets and how they help people to stay healthy. There also needs to be more education on why eating refined sugar and junk food is so bad for the body and its immune system. We’ve went from the local grocery stores of yesterday that had good foods and its own butcher shop, to the convenience stores of today that are loaded with junk food. And people eat out too much, it will be interesting to see what stats change with all this as people have not been able to eat in restaurants. Of course the fast food drive-throughs are still open.

            I hope you’re getting the point here that everyone needs to look at being healthy and there are ways of doing that rather than waiting for them to catch a disease or a bug and then treating it. This pandemic should have woken a lot of people up to this fact. We are here at Natural Health with the correct technology and the experience to help patients do just that.

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...
