“New” Discoveries

 Hi Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone had a good weekend, maybe getting outside enjoying some sunshine. October is moving fast and we are plunging more into the fall season. Fall is a time of change. Of course as we go through life we will encounter changes and many experience changes in their health. Nonetheless, the way back to health is the same.  

Have you ever contemplated the amazing capabilities of the human body? Our bodies carry out trillions of functions per second helping to restore and maintain the health of our bodies. Science is showing us many new so-called discoveries that illustrate the wisdom of other cultures has been right all along. It is showing that our bodies function much like an electrical unit or machine. Now this may seem out there, however when you think about it you can start to realize how it works. Take for instance when you walk along carpet and then you touch a metal door knob. The body is conducting the static from the ground to the hand. Or perhaps a more subtle form of energy as if you were entering a room after a heated debate. You can still feel the tension. This shows us a little about the new discoveries that science is making. 


  There are fundamentals to our health and well being. Much of our body is made up of water. That’s why it is good to drink good fluids. It is also important to eat good foods that help to replenish and or cleanse our bodies. Other factors such as moving our bodies, getting good sunshine, balancing work and play, having leisure time, enjoying family and friends, etc. are all good too. It’s good to have these things in life and to also know that stress is inevitable. However, stress can also be seen as the same resistance that keeps us stuck on the mountain or is able to help us make the climb. It’s our ability to adapt to stress that is also a contributing factor to our health. 


Health doesn’t have to be this fleeting attribute that we have no control over. It doesn’t have to go away with age, it doesn’t have to be something that some families have and others don’t. Our bodies are the most sophisticated “technology” in the world. Science may not know everything as of now but new discoveries help us open up to what is truly possible. When we understand the way back to health and allow ourselves that possibility then we can ultimately move in the correct direction.


Have a great week!

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.     ...
