Changes In The Weather

 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. 


Have you ever considered what many men and women had to go through back in the past? We can go back to the stone age when we had to survive the winters without housing and heating. Or we can consider the devastating circumstances of the many wars fought in the past that led to the loss of many loved ones. Of course these are extreme examples but it is important for us to consider when we start to think of the issues we face in today’s day and age. It reminds us of what many have gone through for many of us to be here now. 


When we are able to think and remind ourselves of the history that our ancestors went through we can see that they had to go through difficult situations and make some critical decisions. We may want to ridicule and blame the choices that were made in the past but when we see that we have made choices that brought error we can lessen our blame and focus on the challenges they had to overcome and appreciate where we are now.   


We are going through some interesting times. On a relative scale we can see that we have been going through some challenging changes for many years. Of course this does not downplay the issues we face today whether personal or public. It actually reminds us to have hope and to persevere while making light of the situation. We can choose to either keep our heads down and look at the shadows or we can turn our gaze towards the light and acknowledge all the good that we still have in this world and what can still come to be.


Thanks for reading!

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...
