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.

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...
