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.

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...
