  Hello again on a great Monday morning. I hope you are ready for a great last week of January. Today we will talk about selfishness. This might seem very common sensical but I wanted to give you a different perspective and why being selfish can be seen as bad or good as opposed to what we have been taught.  Let’s start with the negative view of selfishness. For many years we have been taught that we got here because of the idea of survival of the fittest. This means competition and every person for themselves. Selfishness is a trait that we used to survive in harsh times. When we see others who have more than we do we become selfish, but not understanding what the other person has done in order to obtain what he or she has. Many times we forget the hard work people have put in to earn what they have now. We might see that we are lacking which triggers selfish tendencies. Some people may give gifts or perform activities to help others while secretly expecting praise or somet...

  Hey. Times traveling pretty fast, huh? Almost done with another month. So how would you be able to get the most out of your food? As you may know, I focus on emotional health. Some of you might think, “How does emotions have anything to do with food?” Well actually more than you THINK. We live in quite an up beat society and many of us barely have time to actually enjoy our food. For many of us, once we have a time to sit down and relax, our minds are going every other way. We try to distract the mind by looking at our phone or watching a movie, but I recommend trying another way to maximize your absorption. The mind has emotions like fear or worry conditioned within and will make you think about what is going to happen tomorrow when you are trying to enjoy your meal in the Now. It may even give you guilt about something you did today that wasn’t “perfect”. Or bring up something from the past that makes you angry. The reason why I bring these up is because all of these emotions c...

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -      I hope that you all had a great weekend and am getting over all the holiday stresses. We've been fortunate to have fairly good weather for January and I hope that trend continues. I always find that this time of the year I am looking very forward to the Green Grass of spring. the hubbub of the holidays comes and goes so fast and it takes some time to get back into the groove of normal living. Especially when  there is no snow on the ground, everything looks so Gray. It will be a while yet but the green grass and spring flowers will be here soon.      I have several patients right now who have come from different backgrounds and  are having a hard time understanding about the innate intelligence of the body and how it can heal itself if the barriers are removed. This is what we are doing with our Nutrition Response Testing technique and asking the body, that we are testing, w...

  Analysis by  Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Your immune system and gut microbiome share a symbiotic relationship and your immune function is largely dependent on the state of your gut More than 99% of your genes come from microbes, not your chromosomes The best predictor of future health is your gut microbiome at birth. C-section and antibiotic regimens — both in the mother and the baby — are known to degrade the baby’s microbiome, but can be compensated for Healthy microbiomes are more connected to what your ancestors had that has been lost through short-sighted practices and technology installations. Trying to head toward that is much more constructive than trying to completely overhaul something to a group of microbes your ancestors never saw Aside from the vaginal tract, the baby also receives valuable microbes via skin-to-skin contact, including oral contact with breast tissue, as well as from the breast milk, which is why breastfeeding is so important and can imp...

Hey! How’s your Monday going? For me, everything is Super Duperly Amazing! Let me tell you why I say that in a highly optimistic way if you couldn’t feel that though these texts. Growing up I played any sport that I could during the waking day. Having 3 other brothers around the same age playing sports as well, we got a lot of exercise. We would get exercise playing these sports and because we have such a competitive society, we had to workout to be better at those sports. Everyday we trained ourselves to become the best we could be. Pretty amazing looking back upon it.  There were times that it was a struggle going to practice or exercising, but the majority of the time it came natural. It was second nature.  It was a part of who I was. Well all of that training paid off working out in grade school and high school to receive a scholarship to play football in college. Which just means 5 more years of intense exercise ha. After college I got an amazing job as a Sales Representa...

  Hello Natural Health Family. Today we will discuss health and disease. However, not in a way that is commonly discussed. We tend to think in ways that have been previously taught to us in the past. Lets challenge those thoughts and see if they are actually true.  When you hear infectious or the word contagious what do you think? You might think of the common cold. You, if at a younger age, might think of cooties. You might think of the flu. You might think of a virus. Now, it is good to practice hygiene and know what to do in case of sickness. However, what if we thought about other things being contagious. When you see someone who is laughing or having a good time do you start to smile? When you hear someone talk nicely about someone else do you feel lighter or happier? When you get help from someone else whether it is performing a task or the other person just thought you might want some help with anything do you feel more apt to help the next person in need? When a stra...

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -       I hope that you all had a great weekend, even though the weather wasn't fantastic. It is January so getting by with  not much snow or ice is a plus. It's still very important to keep your immune system working well and especially watching the vitamin D level. We make sure our patients eat plenty of good oils as the source for vitamin D, and then use a suntan bed once a week if possible to activate the vitamin D. We're seeing so much of this even in the mainstream media, on the need for Vitamin D to keep the immune system working correctly. This is for the Covid virus and all other infections as well. There are plenty of other ways to help the immune system, things like vitamin C, getting plenty of rest, keeping stress to a minimum, etc. At Natural Health, we help our patients to know what they need to be at Optimum Health and not have to worry about the environment and bugs.    ...

  Analysis by  Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Herd immunity occurs when enough people acquire immunity to an infectious disease such that it can no longer spread widely in the community WHO’s definition of herd immunity long reflected this, but in October 2020 it quietly revised this concept in an Orwellian move that totally removes natural infection from the equation Immunity developed through previous infection is the way it has worked since humans have been alive: Your immune system isn’t designed to get vaccines; it’s designed to work in response to exposure to an infectious agent This perversion of science implies that the only way to achieve herd immunity is via vaccination, which is blatantly untrue It’s all part of the Great Reset: The rollout of widespread COVID-19 vaccination coupled with tracking and tracing of COVID-19 test results and vaccination status are setting the stage for biometric surveillance and additional tracking and tracing In a shocking reversa...
