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.

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...
