Chiropractic

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you enjoyed our last summer weekend, probably. We tried to get outside as much as possible to soak up the sunshine and warmth as we know that that will be coming to an end soon. Fall is such a great time of year but we all know what is coming afterwards. One of the big problems that we noticed is that it is so dry and there is lots of dust and fall flower and weed pollen in the air. We’ve been using a lot of our Standard Process products to help patients remove the sensitivities, or allergies, to all this dust and pollen. Let us know if we can help you because we want to get this under control before we have to deal with cold weather and all that stuff.

                In our Health Shop this week, we will be talking about Chiropractic Science. Last week we couldn’t get the live event to upload onto social media so will try it again this week and discuss some of the information from last week on Pain and Inflammation. Don’t forget that this is National Chiropractic Month which helps to lend focus towards the importance of the chiropractic adjustment, not only helping pain, but helping the body to heal itself and is a different type of paradigm in healthcare. An interesting fact is that we work towards getting people well without drugs and surgery, not always succeeding, but not hurting anyone either.

                This topic goes right along with the article I’m including on the detrimental effects of long-term use of medication, specifically about the side effects involved in poly pharmaceuticals. The one point not mentioned in the article is that with the use of these medications covering up the symptoms, the patient thinks they’re fine but they are not handling the underlying causes of the problem so the condition actually gets worse. Combining this with the harmful effects of the chemicals that the body has to deal with tends towards a worsening of symptoms over time and an increased number of symptoms, these called side effects. Another important fact is that combining more than two medications, no one has any idea what the side effects will be in that person. Many of the side effects known for a certain medication are based on that one medication, but combining them with one, two, five, 10, 15 other medications-no one has any idea what effects this causes. And again, we all know that they are detrimental to the detox systems of the body, explicitly the liver and kidneys, and cause damage there. At Natural Health, we are always looking at underlying conditions and getting those handled to the body can heal itself, as it has done for millennia.

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
