  Good day Natural Health Family! I imagine you are all doing well. It appears that the weather is changing and the temperature is getting colder. With all that is going on it appears that change will be happening more and more. It may make one ask if it will get back to normal or if there will be a new normal. Well if we look back, change happens all the time so you might conclude that change is normal. Let’s talk about the change on a relative scale so we can see that it is a continuous happening that we can help ourselves adapt to.  Many of us have been through what seems at the time big and small changes. We have all been worried about what is and what will happen in our world. It could be something that is related to finances, family, social life, health, etc. It is understandable to be worried or frustrated in certain circumstances. However, when we view things in a different lens it helps us to alleviate our doubts and fears as we are able to see it more clearly....

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -      I hope that you had a great weekend and didn't get too wet. My wife Karen poured 6 inches of rain out of our ring gauge yesterday so we had our fair share. Thankfully it was all liquid and not the white stuff that will come in some months down the road. It made for a nice and relaxing day as it was stormy all day and we just enjoyed being inside watching a movie or two and relaxing for a change. As usual, the weather is starting to deteriorate around Halloween time but hopefully we'll have a long Indian summer in November. Don't forget about getting your immune system in good shape for the upcoming months as the winter is fast approaching, but hopefully we have some time left in Fall.       Don't forget about our health shops on Monday night at 6. In years past we had actual people coming to these meetings in person but due to the covid plandemic, we have only been doing  In...

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE High COVID vaccination rates create pressure on the virus to mutate into variants with higher levels of contagion and pathogenicity. Recent research concluded that those who are fully “vaccinated” against COVID-19 are indeed more susceptible to COVID variant infections than unvaccinated people The narrow protection you get from the COVID shot will inevitably necessitate a booster shot for each emerging new variant that is resistant to the shots U.K. data show the COVID death toll is higher among the fully vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated. Between February 1, 2021, and September 12, 2021, 63.5% of those who died from COVID-19 within 28 days of a positive test were fully vaccinated Infection-enhancing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies now recognize both the original Wuhan/D614G strain and Delta variants, which suggests antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is emerging Israeli research shows antibody levels rapidly decrease after the second dose of Pfizer’s COVID sh...

  Hello Natural Health Family! It is a new week and time for another discussion. I imagine everyone was able to enjoy their weekends in some form or fashion. It is that time of the year again when weddings are in abundance. The past weekend I was able to be in a wedding and was able to enjoy festivities with friends and family. Let’s talk about the importance of having joy in our lives.  Have you ever thought about the last time that you had to prepare yourself to do something such as giving a speech to a crowd of people or telling someone something that you thought might not be received well? What did it make you feel like? Did you start to have sweaty palms or heavy breathing? Did your heart start to beat faster or you felt like running or not moving? This is because when we think about certain things our bodies react in response to the thoughts that we may be having at the time. This is due to a survival strategy that we adopted to keep us alive back in the day. It helped u...

  Hello Everyone and Natural Health Nation -      Another great weekend and I hope you're enjoying the fall weather. That nip in the air is telling you what's coming in a few months but for now we're enjoying the cooler but still warm weather. It's amazing to me that the trees are still green and the grass is not Brown and still growing. I hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and hopefully we'll have much more to come as we head towards Indian summer. It seems like we’re having many patients talk about Allergy and Sinus symptoms and our new product Allergco Is helping many of our patients.      This month we're talking about pain and inflammation in our health shop courses, actually the causes of it, not just treating it with pain medication, and understanding what the pain and inflammation comes from. It's important to realize that the body has inflammation as it's trying to heal an area from damage caused by injury o...

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Buried in the massive $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” bill are unconstitutional fines for employers who don’t mandate COVID-19 jabs or regular COVID-19 testing of their employees Fines on employers could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions and $700,000 for each “willful” or repeated violation The unconstitutional fines as a mechanism for vaccine enforcement would bankrupt all but the largest businesses Calling the vaccine mandate for businesses “tyrannical,” the No Taxation Without Congressional Consent Act, introduced September 30, 2021, would prohibit the federal government from imposing a fine, fee or tax on individuals or businesses for violating a COVID-19 vaccine mandate Buried in the massive $3.5 trillion "reconciliation" bill is an unconstitutional vaccine enforcement mechanism that threatens to bankrupt businesses unless they force their employees to get a COVID-19 injection. If the measure is enacted into law, even employers that respec...

  Hello Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone was able to have some fun over the weekend or get some jobs done that might have been put off for a while. This past weekend I was able to make it to a high school class reunion. I got to of course see many people I haven’t seen in a long while and catch up with others. It was good to have a different perspective and see how some things changed and some things have not changed. Let’s talk about our perspective and why it can be important in our lives. If you watch TV, news, social media, how do you see it? Many of us watch certain channels or are on specific social media platforms because we are accustomed to them. I would estimate that many of the older generation watch news on certain tv channels while a majority of the younger generation get their news information from social media. Whatever way you stay in the know with all that is going on in the world it is important to see it through a lens which doesn’t impact our health so ...
