Immune Systems

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -

    Well I hope that you enjoyed the cold weekend and got to watch a little of the Super Bowl. We even went to one of our favorite restaurants that has reopened, and really enjoyed sitting down for a meal and watching a football game. We had not done that all season and it was definitely fun for a change. We're hoping to be able to do that more often. It's great to see people's faces again and hopefully we're getting past some of this covid-19 fear. It was also interesting to see the thermometer in the negative numbers and we have a few problems with water lines but we'll get that figured out. I hope that the cold didn't cause you any problems and don't forget that we have Congaplex and Herbal Throat Spray  if you notice a throat tickle or some sinus drainage.

     I have an interesting article to look at this week and it talks about our society being too clean and not keeping the immune system working as well. Our bodies have been living in this environment for thousands of years and needs the stimulation of dirt and microbes to keep the immune system sharp. We're seeing that even vaccines have caused problems with this which is the story behind the huge increase in shingles cases in older adults. Mainstream medicine has been so busy chasing bugs that they forgot to focus on the body's innate ability to heal itself and keep infection under control. Of course, if you have a deep cut or something that needs antibiotics, that's the place for them. But to use them on every occasion of a little sore throat, that has caused lots of problems with allergies and gut issues. 


     February is Heart month for us and  you may wonder what the article included has to do with that. The point is that all these systems are related in the body and it's foolish to try to work on one part but not consider the whole. We are running a heart sound recorder special this month to let people see how working with the heart can help the whole body. But this is only one part of the story and to obtain real health, we need to look at all the systems together. It's a matter of looking at true health and well-being compared to chasing symptoms.


Get Healthy, Stay Healthy, and Live Well

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...
