Chiropractic Helps Inflammation and Pain

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another great weekend but a little colder. We’re starting to catch some rains I hope this all stays liquid for quite a while longer. My sister that lives in Minnesota, is having snow and I hope she keeps it up there. Sounds like a little cooler this week but then warmer on the weekend. It seems that around Halloween time, the weather is not very good but there been many Thanksgivings with really nice weather. Let’s hold off winter as long as possible.

                October, of course, is National Chiropractic Month and it’s important for folks to realize how important chiropractic adjusting can be to help promote health. With all the stresses and strains that we have in our daily life, our bodies get abused and a good adjustment helps to reestablish the normal nerve flow that helps our bodies to stay healthy. Combine this with good nutritional care and dietary boundaries and you have a great equation equaling good health. This week in our health shop, we will be talking about pain and inflammation and how chiropractic can help. Many people don’t realize that inflammation is put in areas to help it to heal, and pain is there to keep you from irritating the area anymore until it heals, so there is a purpose for both pain and inflammation. The idea with adjusting the areas, and use nutritional supplements to help it heal faster, is to keep the pain and inflammation down to a minimum while the body fixes itself. Just using medication to cover up the pain and stopped inflammation only makes the underlying problem worse and leads towards scar tissue or arthritis.

                In speaking of the body fixing itself, there are many great nutrients in certain foods that help the body to do just that. With chiropractic adjusting allowing the normal nerve flow to give the body direction in healing, it’s important to realize that the raw materials must be there for the body to rebuild an area that has been damaged. The article that I’m sending along looks at a nutrient, Quercetin, that helps with many different functions of the body, especially the immune system. Nature has many of these types of nutrients available, if, and this is a big if, the body’s digestive system is working to the point that it can digest and absorb the foods that have these nutrients in them. That is probably the big difference between what we do here at Natural Health, and many advertised nutritional supplements. It Is that the advertisers never talk about digestion and absorption, only how great the product is. There are barriers that must be broken through that allow the body to heal itself and that’s what we do with our Nutrition Response Testing, find these barriers. The body is meant to be well and has the ability to do that if the barriers are removed and the raw materials are there.

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...
