Feels Like Summer is Here

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Well, we’ve got summer now! When it gets hot like this and the humidity is so high, we really start to remind our patients about the need for hydration, and not only water but electrolytes, which is a fancy name for salt. And of course, were talking about mineral salt or sea salt, not the junk white salt that’s processed and has lost all its minerals. It’s so amazing that something as simple as drinking water and consuming sea salt, or our product Cal-Amo, can keep you away from all types of problems in the summer related to the heat. We go through a lot of this product all year, but especially during the summer. It really helps with the feeling of being worn out, and with leg cramps or muscle spasms.

                We were in California last week so did not have a health shop Monday night. We will get back on regular schedules next week. And don’t forget that we’ve moved the start time for our health shops to 6: 15, so that we can be done with patients and be on time for folks who want to tune in. This month is about Men’s Health, but as usual, our health shops will have general information in them for everyone to enjoy.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the need for certain nutrients to help people get good sleep. This is another principle that is so important but so simple-the need for good sleep, so that the body has the time and energy to repair itself. At Natural Health, we find that most people need B vitamins to help with sleep, especially the ones that help the parasympathetic nervous system, or the rest and relax and rebuild nervous system. If you just take medication to force the body into a type of passed out slumber, you’re not getting the good healing processes working, and of course the medication is just making the problem worse. Many medications remove certain nutrients from the body and so not only have side effects, but are detrimental to health because of this nutrient depleting problem. Plus, the patient is never figuring out the underlying cause of the problem. At Natural Health, we look at the underlying causes of why a person has a certain symptom complex, get that address and then the symptom complex magically goes away. Medications are important for short-term lifesaving needs but then you need to figure out the cause and get off the medication as soon as possible. We are here to help with that at Natural Health.

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...

Slow It Down

  Wake up Natural Health Family!  Imagine everyone had a blessed and great weekend. We are in exciting times, yes? Or these times are the worst and everything is falling apart? How do you see it? However you do, life will go on. It certainly is different from years past and continues to change at a fast rate. Our ability to adapt to this change can be an important factor in our health.  Do you remember when times seemed to be simpler? Or maybe we thought they were simpler? I say this because many life changes seem difficult at first, but then when we get more familiar with it, the change becomes simpler. Time before did seem slower. There wasn’t so much technology, so many “things” to do, so many messages, emails, or notifications. We have so many abilities to connect with others, but the connection with others is not as strong as it used to be. Our society has changed from telling stories to what’s on TV. From meals made from scratch to how fast can this meal be made. Pe...
