Low on Salt?


Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

            I hope that everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend. We took off Monday as a bonus for everyone’s hard work during the virus business so the email blast this week is a little late. We sure had fun outside enjoying the warm weather and it was definitely warm. I’ve had several patients come in today already showing signs of dehydration and basically because everyone forgets that they need extra salt during these hot spells, as well as good quality water. We’re using a lot of our salt pill product called Cal-Amo and I take quite a few when I’m sweating through my clothes on these hot days. If you start feeling weak and tired, like a wrung out dishrag, usually means you’re low on salt and becoming dehydrated. There’s nothing wrong with sea salt or mineral salt but stay away from the processed white junk salt, especially in packaged processed “foods”.

            I’m enclosing a great article with this email on why polyunsaturated fatty acids, or PUFAs, are so bad for us. The video from Dr. Knobbe has lots of good information as to why this is. At Natural Health, we get people to look at white flour and white sugar and mention the use of good quality fats but this video and article really needs to be looked at as a major cause of poor health. The health of the entire world has gotten worse over the last century due to the use of processed foods and vegetable oils. The information in the video is amazing and we will be stressing these points more at Natural Health.

            One of the big points that I want to make here is that mainstream medicine has been promoting the use of these oils and processed foods ever since Pres. Eisenhower’s heart attack back in the 50s. They are still promoting the use of “heart healthy” carbs and keeping people away from saturated fat. The science on this has been proven over and over but you can’t make money on treatment unless you keep your patients sick. I am always amazed at what my patients tell me they have been advised on when they have certain conditions, i.e.-eating oatmeal every morning as a diabetic-crazy!

            At Natural Health, we strive to get our patients to be actually truly healthy. What is your definition of health? Being pain-free is not healthy. Being on drugs or medications, or people that are overweight, is not healthy.

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...
