Men's Health


Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

            I hope you had a great weekend and was able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. It was a little cooler, I think that might have been “BlackBerry winter”. Blackberries and raspberries are blooming and it’s about this time of the year. Looks like next week will be pretty warm and people’s air-conditioners will be kicking on. Don’t forget to use good quality mineral salt or sea salt to help keep yourself hydrated, along with the water.

            Well we started a new month and the theme for this month is men’s health. Last month’s theme of women’s health was overshadowed by the virus business and everyone is still thinking about that yet. Things are starting to open up and getting somewhat back to normal. I think what’s left now is just politics and power plays. Most of the research I’m seeing shows that the lockdown was too late and that face masks reduce the strength of the immune system in healthy people. Again if you have a pre-existing condition and sitting around eating junk food you have a lowered immune system, you should be cautious and careful. But let the rest of us get back to work and enjoy life and be healthy.

            I’ve included an article this week on vitamin D and why it is so important for the immune system. And of course, right now we are thinking about the immune system only but vitamin D helps all the systems of the body. The theme for this week is men’s heart health and vitamin D helps with that too. I hope that everyone is starting to realize what a mess mainstream medicine is and that we need to look at the body as a whole and not keep treating symptoms of one system or another. Another thing to realize is that mainstream medicine has no treatment for the immune system. We have relied on antibiotics for decades now at the expense of learning how to strengthen the immune system with good food and supplemental nutrients as needed. It’s also important to realize that the digestive system has to be online so that it can absorb and utilize the oil soluble vitamins like vitamin D, in the body. If your liver is toxic and overloaded, or your stomach is not producing stomach acid, or you’re on a proton pump inhibitor, you will not absorb these good nutrients and be healthy. Taking drugs for symptoms is not health! When will people learn this?

  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...

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...

  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...
