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.)

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 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...
