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?

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...
