Healthshops Monday's at 6:15 pm

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another beautiful weekend and was nice to have the cooler temperatures, but not too cool. We are back to needing rain again as the gravel roads sure are dusty. Combine this dust with the pollen that the farmers are starting to kick up with harvest, and we will have a lot of patients asking about allergies and good supplements to help with those symptoms. We sure have them here at Natural Health. After the last couple rains, things had greened up again but now were back to everything looking brownish, especially as the crops in the fields start turning. It looks like were headed towards Fall for sure.

                Don’t forget that were having our Health Shops again on Monday nights at 6:15 and this month were talking about the main health problems in America. This week were talking about Diabetes and how you can get the body to overcome that with diet and nutrition. It’s actually fairly simple as long as the patient is willing to comply, and understand, the diet changes and why they’re so important. As always, we will have lots of good information for everyone but especially looking at this number two cause of mortality in the US. It’s unfortunate that people think that they can overcome this diagnosis with medication and not change anything in their diet. This just makes the problem last longer but the body still is degenerating from not getting the correct nutrition it needs to heal itself. With our Nutrition Response Testing technique, we can figure out what barriers the body has to healing and then help support the healing process by helping the patient understand the need for dietary changes and supplementing with whole food nutrition that the body is meant to have to heal itself. We’ve done it many times over the past 42 years.

                The article that I’m sending along looks at the use of a vitamin to help with hearing loss. I found it especially interesting that the problem was a lack of cholesterol and that they were supplementing with a vitamin that acts like it. Why do you think people would be having a lack of cholesterol-too much medication? The problem with articles like this is that everyone who has a hearing issue will think that this vitamin will be a miracle cure and will rush out and buy it. It may actually help but they missed the whole point of a holistic approach to the body and getting the whole body well, not just focusing on one problem with one vitamin. At Natural Health, we work with a holistic approach to healing the body and getting the whole body healthy and working correctly rather than just treat one symptom with one vitamin. In the discussion of what people are eating to cause deficiency, what medications there on that can cause nutritional deficiencies, and what supplements actually work well for the whole body, needs to be talked about to see the big picture. Getting the whole body healthy helps to handle all the little symptoms and problems that people run into every day because of the stresses of life. It’s hard to avoid them all the time so everybody is affected. We are here to help at Natural Health, getting our patients healthy so that they can enjoy life and have lots of energy.

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...
