Diets and Toxins

 Hello everyone in Natural Health Nation -

      What a great weekend! We're finally getting some really good weather and the grass is greening up. I love this time of year because of the promise of a fresh start with all the vegetation and tree leaves and just life in general. It's hard to just sit back and savor this time of year because we're so busy with yard chores and just getting around more, and pretty soon we're in the middle of a hot summer.  Hopefully you're able to enjoy it as well and can look forward to getting outside into the fresh air and sunshine. We really need to work on those vitamin D stores after a long winter! 


     We are still in March and talking about diet. The topic for this week’s health shop will be the Gut-Brain connection. This connection has been getting lots of press in the last 10 years or so and it's so important. At Natural Health, we really work at getting the digestive system working correctly and having patients eat foods that help promote good gut health so that they can think clearly and have energy to handle everyday stresses. If people are eating a lot of empty carb food or foods that contain heavy metals, and chemicals and things like that, you can imagine how the digestive system won't work very well and this can make people not be able to think very well. I feel that this is one of the big reasons for all the goofiness going on in our society at this time-from years of fluoride and chlorine in the water, from herbicide chemical poisoning, from drug residues and other chemicals in our food and water, and the list goes on and on. It's important to look at the whole picture of our environment and take into consideration the accumulative effect of all of these influences and the duration of the years we have been subjected to this exposure. I get folks coming into the office wanting to feel better in a very short time but find that they have been subjected to these environmental influences for decades. It's hard for folks to understand it will take some time to actually clean the chemicals and heavy metals out of the cellular level and get the body to repair itself from all these toxins. The road may be long but worth traveling if you want to attain real and lasting health. We're here to help at National Health.

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...
