Heart Health Month

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you enjoyed the weekend despite the cold. The forecast is looking better for the following week so maybe were getting away from the frigid temperatures and heading toward spring. It was cloudy all day here so I’m hoping any local groundhogs did not see their shadow and we’re headed for an early spring-ha. Don’t forget to keep your house humidifier’s working as the furnace running more causes the air to dry. And also keep using sea salt or Cal-Amo, that we have here at the office, to add the electrolytes to the hydration you’re getting. Also, hopefully, we will be able to get outside more soon and get the sun to help us produce more active vitamin D. If you’re noticing dry skin, try getting more of the good oils in your diet like coconut oil and butter, lard or tallow.

                It’s a new month so were changing our health shop topics to heart health this month. The health shop this week will concentrate on causes of heart problems and should be interesting due to the changes lately. The article that I’m sending along looks at how the herb “Holy Basil” can help with so many things and for us here at Natural Health, is just another indication of how natural supplements and herbs can help the body heal itself and help the body towards a strong immune system. Drugs may be necessary to help certain symptoms but are not health promoting, in other words, may be necessary for short-term emergency treatment but does not promote health in the long term. At Natural Health, we are always working towards educating the patient in the ways of helping the body to be healthy by natural means and not trying to force the body to do a certain thing, like keeping a blood pressure number lower. We are always looking towards the underlying reason for the problem and not trying to chase symptoms.

                I hope that you have had a chance to look at independent media sources and keep up on the news coming out about this covid business. Again, a great source that I like to use for my own education is www.thehighwire.com. There are other sources to be sure but this one is easy to understand and all of the information is backed up.

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...
