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.

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...
