Side Effects

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you all survived Memorial Day weekend! It was a great weekend with great weather and hope you got some good sunshine but not too much. We did lots of things outside and it was sure nice to be able to enjoy the green grass and the trees looking so nice. We like to have our house open so we get fresh air and we noticed that there was a lot of pollen that had come in, so there is a lot of pollen and dust out there. We have great products at Natural Health to help patients detox from all this dust and pollen and keep “allergy symptoms” at bay. I’m also starting to warn patients about hydration and not only drinking the water that they need every day, but getting the electrolytes, or good quality salt, to help keep their bodies hydrated. There are so many conditions that would be helped if people would just keep themselves hydrated correctly.

                We did not have a health shop this week as it landed on Memorial Day, but will have them next Monday and continue on. We are starting the health shops at 6: 15 now live on Facebook and Instagram and will post it to Brighteon.com and YouTube eventually. As were heading into June, our topic will change to that of Men’s Health throughout the month. These Healthshops will still have a lot of general information about health as well as specifics on the topic we talk about. I hope that you can tune in.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at finding out if you’re overmedicated. In our world, anyone who is on medication is overmedicated. The point here is that people that are taking medication for long periods of time, are not addressing the underlying cause of the problem and that needs to be addressed so you can get off of those chemicals in the medications. We see many people here at Natural Health, that are on 5-10-15 different medications and usually half of them are for side effect symptoms from some of the previous ones. It’s a terrible cycle for these patients to get into and it’s very hard to get off of all that medication, but we help many to do it, it just takes time. Even something as simple as blood pressure medications, that if people do not realize it, and they race into the doctor’s office and have the blood pressure taken, it will normally be high because you’re not looking at a resting blood pressure, and they just stay on medication or add more medication. We know that one of the main side effects of long-term use of blood pressure medication is congestive heart failure, because you’re not fixing the underlying cause of the problem and actually making it worse. The major point here is that people need to find out the underlying cause of health issues and not cover them up with medication. We are here to help with that at Natural Health.

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...
