Another Beautiful Weekend

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you enjoyed your weekend, whatever you were doing. The weather was beautiful and it was a good time to get outside and things done. Memorial Day sort of signals the beginning of summer activities and hopefully the weather stays like it is now, less humid and not as hot as it can be around here. I’ve been reminding patients to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and good fluids and not forgetting about the electrolytes, which is a fancy word for salt. I’m talking about sea salt and mineral salt here, not the junk white salt that’s in all the restaurants and all the snack foods in the world. Staying hydrated with fluids and electrolytes helps you feel good, having plenty of energy over the summer, and being able to enjoy the outdoors in the heat. A good indicator of dehydration is that you just don’t feel well in the heat and need to be in the air conditioning. We want to be able to enjoy the outdoors now while we can be out there, and not wish for during the winter time when we can’t.

                This is the last week that we will be talking about Women’s Health as part of our Health Shops and Patient Education Workshops. Next month will be about Men’s Health but to realize that we keep the information fairly broad and most of the information will help both genders to be healthy. That is really what were up to here at Natural Health, just getting people to understand that you can be healthy and prevent most all of the disease that people have problems with. It really isn’t even that hard but you must have a way of deciding that. This is what Nutrition Response Testing is all about. This technique gives me a way of asking your body what it needs to be healthy and then with good diet information, ways to keep you healthy over the long term, which allows the body to heal, especially if there’s been health issues for years, and even sometimes, decades. The body is meant to be well, you just have to remove the barriers, like heavy metal toxicity, and let the body heal itself. We do it all the time here at Natural Health.

                The article that I’m sending along looks at a type of disease that is unknown but happens anyway, with fatal results. As we talked about in the previous paragraph, the goal is to not get to the point where you find out about these fatal or debilitating disease processes. Again, the body is meant to be well and can get itself well if the barriers are removed, and the body is fed correctly so that it can have the building blocks it needs to propel itself towards health. Health is not just being pain free, but actually having energy for all the organs and organ systems to work, and being able to enjoy life and not be on tons of medication to control symptoms. A healthy body should not have any symptoms.

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...
