What is Normal?

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone was able to have at least some fun during the weekend. It seems as though many people are starting to question many topics about what is going on nowadays. Much information out there is being spread that may lead many to be confused about what to do. It may cause us to overthink and overanalyze everything not being sure what is the truth. Today we are going to talk about a truth that has been forgotten over the years. This truth is simply this: Health is Our Natural State of Being. 

Have you ever contemplated why it appears that there is so much illness and dis-ease in the world? Why we have been led to think that many of the health issues are from causes outside of our control. That we are predestined to have health issues due to our heritage or circumstances. In today’s world chronic illness is seen as common in much of the population. According to the CDC, 6/10 people have one chronic illness and 4/10 have two or more. However, we can realize that common is not normal or natural. 


When we think about how, as a species, humans have made it this far we must realize our innate or inborn capacity to be healthy. If we were destined to be sick, weak, and suffering we would have never made it this far. However, there is much misinformation that leads us to think this way. When we let go of the idea of  trying to rid all our illness and dis-ease and rather change to achieving health we will start to turn the ships in the correct direction. When we release the different things that have caused the illness in the first place we allow our healing capability to be restored. 


When we respect our bodies enough to eat good foods, move, get outside, and maintain proper thinking then we allow ourselves the capacity for health. Help may be needed and that is just fine. However, we must have the courage to look at ourselves and our lives without judgement and make a conscious effort to see what we may be doing that is leading to such issues. When we think of all the great people back then that seemed to be the heroes of the day we must remember the patience and perseverance it took them to get there. When we are patient with ourselves and see where we may make errors, then we can open ourselves up to better health and well being. There are many avenues to health so never give up on yourself. We are all capable of this healing potential within us.


Have a great day!

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...
