Christmas Time and Stress

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

            I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend and got some Christmas shopping done. It wasn’t too cold and we avoided rain and snow for a little while longer. I almost don’t want to bring up Christmas shopping as it is another stress for some people to deal with. At Natural Health, we are really trying to get the word out for people to stay positive and not let things bother them or stress them out. Many people don’t realize that being stressed out is a decision on their part, or that they are reacting to an emotional stimulus and that they do have the ability to control this by staying calm. We tried to get patients to just breathe, breathing in slowly through the nose, holding the breath for a few seconds, and then exhaling through to the mouth slowly. This simple exercise helps to oxygenate the brain and get the body to slow down, even slowing heart rate and reducing blood pressure, but more importantly getting your mind off of whatever is stressing you. I’ve already talked about using a product called Drenamin that helps the adrenal glands handle stress to the body, and were selling cases of it. There is another product called Cataplex G which is a B vitamin complex that helps the parasympathetic nervous system, the system of rest, relaxing, and rebuilding, so that people have the ability to calm down. If you’re low on the vitamins, the nervous system can’t balance itself and people stay in a state of anxiety.

            I’m sending along an article on the use of humidifiers to help prevent Covid infection. We have been advising our patients to use humidifiers, especially in the bedrooms, since the cold weather came in as running the furnaces tends to dry out the air. Many folks realize that the kitchen usually has good humidity because of the cooking activities, but the bedroom gets dry and using a humidifier keeps the nasal passages moist and able to filter out unwanted invaders. Again, a very simple thing that people forget about over the year. You don’t even have to buy a humidifier, you can use a wet towel over the back of a chair or a pot of water on the register or keeping the bathtub half full of water, or use your imagination to get humidity in the rooms.

            In closing, we are all going to have to deal with these viruses so get your immune system working at optimum. We can help at Natural Health.

Patient Testimony: What was it like before you came to see us?

In 2014 Alexis contracted a rare form of lymes disease. Ever since she has been sickly, bloated, sluggish and her system wasn’t “digesting” the way it should.   She’s had trouble going the bathroom to the point of walking in so much pain and not going for over a week at a time. We visited multiple doctors but none fixed the problem.

How is it now?

Now Alexis is doing so great. She is able to go the bathroom regularly. She’s lost all of her bloating. AS well as running, playing and being active.  Since we started her I’ve noticed so many changes in her that I didn’t realize were off. She’s happy, no pain and has that twinkle in her eye again. I’ve also noticed now that her body is healing. She isn’t getting sick as often.  (N.B.)

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...
