Sun Health

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you enjoyed your weekend. It was a mixed bag of cold and warm and wind and rain and it just seems like it can’t make up its mind which way to go. But that is early spring in the Midwest and eventually we will be complaining that it’s too hot. We’re trying to get all the work done in our house that we can before the good weather gets here so we can go outside and work in the yard. It’s nice to see the grass grinning up but we’ve got a lot of weeds to take care of-ha. I hope that you can get outside soon and soak up the sunshine and activate that good vitamin D to help you be healthy.

                Speaking of good sunshine, Sun Health is the topic of our health shop this week. Most folks don’t realize that sunshine helps to activate vitamin D so that it works in the body to promote health. All we’ve heard from mainstream medicine is that you must stay out of the sun because of skin cancer. Well baloney! Human beings have been out of the sunshine for millennia and it’s only been lately we’ve had problems with skin cancer because of the lack of good nutrition in the body and the immune system’s inability to take care of cell growth that goes awry. We’re not saying that you should go out and get a sunburn, but some sun exposure is very good for the body if done correctly.

                The article I’m sending along looks at the problem of half of Americans having issues with heart disease. That’s not a very good report card for mainstream medicine! It sounds like a broken record, but poor diets and hectic lifestyles are what’s behind all that. Covering up the problem with medication to lower blood pressure numbers or using statins to lower cholesterol numbers is not the answer. These treatments actually cause more problems in the long term. The solution to this is to look at the underlying cause of these problems and address those. We do that every day here at Natural Health, asking patients bodies what they need to be healthy and helping them change their diet to avoid the “hand grenades” that cause these degenerative diseases. Diabetes is right there with it and can be reversed easily if you know how-and we do. It’s really a shame that with all the technology that we have in big medicine, they can’t work towards actually getting people healthy but are more concerned about making money. Shameful!

                I just realized that this is Holy Week and I hope that you all have a great Easter and are able to enjoy it with your friends and families. I know that all my patients that are taking supplements and watching their diets will have no problem with this covid malarkey but we have fun watching the news and seeing what craziness they talk about. Our bodies were designed by the creater to be healthy and it’s fairly easy to do.

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

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...

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...
