Ready For Fall?

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Karen and I were in Denver Colorado for a seminar this weekend and it sounds like, and looks like, you got some rain over the weekend in this area. I think our rain gauge at the house had 2 inches in it, so that’s great because we were really needing it. I noticed the air seems a lot cleaner and that the pollen has been flushed out. I hope that it greens up some before winter gets here but it’s the end of the growing season so we’ll see. It seems like when we came back from the airport, things looked browner than I remembered when we left and that the beans and corn seem to be turning rapidly. Even some of the trees are starting to turn their leaves from green to yellow. I always like fall as a season but don’t really like what comes afterwards. The joys of living in the Midwest!

                Since I was gone for the weekend, I missed the health shop this week. I’m really looking forward to the health shop next week as were talking about idiopathic reasons for death in this country. It is the third or fourth leading cause of death, depending on what source you get it from, and it should be an interesting health shop. We’re seeing a lot more of this after this virus business and it will give me an opportunity to vent just a little. Truth in health is so important for a good life and being able to enjoy our life while were here on this earthly plane. Advertising and brainwashing should have no place in our healthcare decisions, but finding information that actually works towards being actually healthy. I think one of the good aspects of this virus business is that it has shown many of the bad actors in healthcare and what happens when you follow the money rather than finding the truth.

                The article that I’m sending along looks at the healthy aspects of pepper, whether it’s black or white. The big point that I like to make from these types of articles is that there are so many good herbs and spices available, to place in our diet, that are health promoting. We always want to try to find an organic source of these spices and herbs, but many of these foods have more nutrition in them than the other foods they are seasoning. Many people don’t like hot spicy food, but the heat in these spices have special minerals and phytochemicals which are good for the body. Sometimes folks can’t find the best quality foods but the spices that they use with the foods, carry good nutrients that help to make up for this quality. At Natural Health, we are always promoting the use of good herbs and spices along with trying to find the best sources of foods that you can. It’s also important to realize that digestion and absorption of these foods are just as important as the quality of the foods themselves.

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...
