Seed Oils & Cholesterol

 Hello Everyone In Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you all had a great weekend and got plenty of rest for this coming week. It sure was a nice weekend with some decent temperatures and some nice breezes. Even though it was hot, it wasn’t terrible and the breeze made it feel much cooler. I’m so thankful that were getting some rain in the area so that the grass is greening back up and is looking more like summer, rather than fall. Mowing grass is kind of the pain but not that bad. I’d much rather mow grass than scoop snow! Were still noticing some people having problems with their sinuses and allergies, I think due to the summer pollen and still this silly smoke stuff from Canada. Don’t forget to use Antronex and/or Allergco if you have those already. These are two great products that help the liver drain the lymphatics and keep the mucus from backing up into the sinuses. I think if we get a little more rain, it should stop many of these allergy causing issues.

                We decided to go back to the Health Shops that we had during the covid debacle. It seems that folks got used to staying home at night and this way we can get the information out to everyone in an easy to do format, not only for us but for you to get the information. We will be doing the HealthShops live on Facebook and Instagram at 6:15 on Monday nights. Eventually, we will post them to Facebook and Brighteon.com. This month were talking about Summer Fun and will have some great nutritional tips to give out, and remind people about, that pertain to enjoying the outdoors in the sun and even dealing with the indoor climate with air conditioning. I will still make available the Patient Education Workshops that we have at the office for those that would like to bring a group. We can set this up on a different night to better accommodate everyone’s busy schedule. I also plan to record the Patient Education Workshop and put it on our website so patients can learn how and why Nutrition Response Testing works so well, and why everyone needs to be checked to make sure that their body is working correctly towards actual natural health.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the problems with seed oils. This is something that I’ve learned more about in the last decade as we were sure that refined flour and sugar were causing all the problems with health and degenerative disease, but have learned that these seed oils are just as bad, if not worse. Unfortunately, the mainstream media and medicine is still promoting the use of seed oils in the diet to lower cholesterol. They never tell anyone that the cholesterol in the body from food is only 5% of total cholesterol. The liver makes the other 95% and statin drugs are sold to stop the liver from producing cholesterol, which is a mistake in our book. It makes the mainstream medicine folks lots of money though. This is not only true of the drug itself, but there must be more drugs given to handle the side effects of this one. Our bodies are made to use good old animal fats to build and repair itself, as our grandparents, and all other humanity, have used. Butter is a great example of a good fat, but when you put it on a cinnamon roll in the morning, it doesn’t work very well. It’s not always the fat that is the problem, it’s what you put it on and how you use it. We do a lot of dietary coaching here at Natural Health, just to help keep patients out of trouble who are trying to be healthy.

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

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...
