Staying Hydrated

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

What a busy weekend! The weather has gotten very nice and people are out doing all kinds of things. I had planned a party on Saturday for a group of friends and not many attended because it seemed like many activities fell on the same weekend. That’s just the way it goes during the summer months with church picnics and reunions and food fairs and all kinds of activities. Two things I’ve noticed on the health aspect of this. The first is watching your hydration, making sure you’re getting plenty of water and electrolytes, or just see salt and mineral salt. Both parts are important to hydrate the body. We use a lot of our product called CAL-AMO during the summer months to keep people from feeling very weak and wore out, and to prevent muscle spasms and leg cramps. The second thing I’ve noticed, especially with the dry weather so far, is all the dust and pollen floating around in the air. We have great products to help the body clean drain the lymphatic’s and help with allergy symptoms. Many people are having problems with eyes watering and gunk and dirt in the eyes, and we have products to help protect the eyes from infection and help them to be able to clean themselves out. This comes back to the first point of keeping yourself hydrated so the body has the fluids to clean itself.

We have changed our Health Shops and Patient Education Workshop schedules so that we will have a Patient Education Workshop on the first Monday of the month and then the question-and-answer Health Shop on the second Monday and a regular topic Health Shop on the fourth Monday. Call the office if you need more information on these events as were trying to get the word out to as many people who want to be healthy. After 40 some years of practice, we have lots of great information on how to prevent problems with health and well-being. I’m getting so many questions on how to get off of medications and how to feel good and energetic in life, and not just control symptoms and keep blood test numbers in a certain parameter. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

The article to them sending along this week looks at an old topic that we’ve talked about many many times but it’s still important to review as our society is so built on having sugary things for all celebrations and events. Even after church, it seems to be the rule to have coffee and doughnuts which is a terrible way to start the day and be able to act in a Christian manner when you’re all jacked up on caffeine and sugar. At Natural Health, we help our patients to understand what the problem is with sugars and help them to get their sweet tooth under control. It’s important to realize that having a little sugar from time to time is okay but unfortunately, we get into a lot of it every day as you’ll find out in the article and the documentary that goes with it. Something folks may not realize is that the biggest problem with refined sugar is that there’s no nutrition in it at all, and the body must rob its reserves to utilize the sugar for energy, which it will. This is why degenerative diseases are so rampant in this country, and the fact that medication to treat symptoms is not nutrition, so no long-term healing, only more treatment.

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...

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. ...

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...
