Happy Labor Day

 We are here again Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone had a good Labor day weekend. Speaking of Labor day, we can acknowledge the hard work and dedication that many people performed to make what this country is today. Like any group or community that works together, they can see effort paying off and notice the effects of how it can impact those around us. Let’s discuss how the interaction with others and how we choose to live in this world can have influences outside of what we may be able to see. 

When you think of the many accomplishments of others in this country or nation, who do you think of? You may think of different people in history involved in athletics, inventions, leadership, business, politics, actors, science, etc. Many people came to this country for an opportunity to make their lives better and in the process made an impact on the country and the rest of the world. If looking through their lives we could see the amount of work and effort they underwent to achieve such accomplishments. This helps us realize that success in anything is a continued effort towards an achievement that may come with trials, tribulations, and so called failures. Many times we may see the highlight reel of the many people who achieved what appears to be great things but don’t see the many failures that they had to go through to get there. Many people have described failures to be just the next step to what they are striving for. 


When we think of famous people throughout history we tend to put them on a pedestal to be looked up to. However, when we realize that it doesn’t matter what the profession is but more on how well it’s done, we acknowledge our own efforts. Not everybody is going to be a famous man or woman in history that shapes the world as we know it. Therefore we can see that everyone plays a part in the movement of the world. That how well we do our own work or how we interact with others plays a part in helping the world function. Just like the gears in a watch, when one doesn’t work they all don’t. We don’t have to be the most famous but we can influence the world by helping those around us see the best in themselves. 


So with whatever labor people may perform it is not being better than others but doing the best he or she can do. When we realize that what we do individually affects the world around us then we can see that everyone has an important role in the world regardless of job or business. So today make an attempt to smile and be grateful for the work someone has done for you however big or small it is. Thank you for reading.

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...
