Shadows

 Good day Natural Health Family! I imagine everyone is still hanging in there with everything happening. Today I wanted to give some motivation and to put some things into perspective so you know that you are not alone in all of this. Today’s blog is about striving forward and not giving up. 

The world may appear to be a bit chaotic right now. There seems to be so much going on that we don’t know what is going to be the next step in this process. We see the world and we tend to notice all “wrong” that is happening. However, let me explain that this is natural for us to do. You see, as we have come from different generations over the past millennia, we have been conditioned to be in a survival mindset. This was important because we needed to protect ourselves from threat outside of us. So when things appear in our lives that seem out of sorts or not familiar, we may find the small details that are out of place. We continually do this all the time even without us realizing. This is because it is an unconscious behavior we have inherited from our ancestors. As a result, when faced with a situation or scenario that is not familiar to us or scares us such as all that is happening now, we become filled with emotion such as fear, anger, frustration, greed, etc.  This creates a world or nations of fearful citizens. And as the saying goes, the easiest way to control people is to keep them confused and afraid. It’s time to make a change. 


Many people are facing different situations in their lives now such as those with business, relationships, health, etc. We all get that feeling of not being able to do this or that or seeing darkness ahead of us. However, when we realize that for a shadow to exist the sun must be shining, then we can change our focus and turn towards the light. Throughout our lives we always face obstacles and challenges that seem to always work out in the grand scheme of things. When we get caught up too much in the past or future, then our energy becomes scattered and we become depressed and anxious. Our minds are very powerful, but if we allow them to be influenced largely by things outside of us, then we give our energy and power away. This causes our health to decline and be less adaptable to withstand other issues we face. 


It is easy to allow ourselves to feel fear, anger, worried, jealous, etc. That is the path of least resistance and it is up to us to not react. I want to be clear that it is ok to feel those emotions, we are human. However, when we allow the situation to keep us feeling those emotions and use those negative emotions toward someone else, then we cause further problems to others and ourselves. It is up to us to be strong in the face of chaos and not to give up on the dreams we have and the people in our lives that need us. When we understand that we are all connected somehow and in some way then we will come to realize just how powerful we are and how much a helping hand can do for others. I hope this message reaches you well and inspires something within you to not give up wherever you are in life.

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...

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...
  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...
