Hydration and Salt

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

I hope that you enjoyed your weekend and the cooler temperatures. It looks like this coming week will be a little warmer but that is July. Don’t you wish we could bottle up some of this heat now and be able to use it this winter? I hate even think about that word, winter-ha. I got a little more rain at the house this weekend so the grass is staying mostly green. Of course, I still have to mow it because the weed heads keep poking out but I’d much rather mow grass then scoops snow. With this heat coming, make sure and stay hydrated and don’t forget that that includes good quality water and electrolytes, or sea salt and mineral salt. We use a lot of our product called Cal-Amo, which is a calcium salt, this time of year and this helps a lot with muscle cramps and leg spasms due to the body being dehydrated. Enjoy the heat while it’s here!

We decided on doing our health shops live on Facebook and Instagram every Monday night at 6:15. I plan to record the Patient Education Workshop and put that video on our website. It seems that people have gotten out of the desire to go out at night so it’s hard to get people to come to the office in the evening for a class. If the Covid debacle taught us anything, it’s that we can stay home and watch videos for information rather than running around at night for classes. I will still give patients the option of coming for a Patient Education Workshop, if they have a group, and we can figure out a night that works for them. The purpose of the Patient Education Workshop is to explain, in detail, how Nutrition Response Testing works and why it’s so important for everyone to be tested to make sure that they are healthy and can stay healthy. We have made a big mistake in not putting enough emphasis on the definitions of blocking, switching, and the priority. With the stresses of life, these three things can change or come up and stop the body from being able to get itself healthy. Most people come to the office and do very well in their initial nutrition schedules but then don’t follow through because they don’t really understand the importance of checking the body from time to time so that the body can stay healthy.

The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the study of Homeopathy and how it works on energies that have been well documented over time. Mainstream medicine does not want to acknowledge much of this energy information because they can’t see it. The funny thing is, is that they use it all the time to do MRIs, or EKGs, or other tests that they are measuring energies from the body but don’t want to use that energy to help heal the body. I guess that accepting these healing energies as being real puts too much medical power in the hands of the patient. Plus, they can’t push the medications as much if everyone knew about the healing energy that the body produces. The article talks about the history of mainstream medicine and how it squashed homeopathy back in the early 1900s. They tried to squash Chiropractic too, but our science and philosophy was too strong and were still here today.

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...
