Your Immune System and Winter

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

What a nice Fall weekend! I know, it’s a little cool but the sun was out and we didn’t get any bad weather. It’s just accepting that Fall is here and might as well enjoy it. It sure has gotten dry again and I know that’s lending towards a lot of sinus problems due to all the dust and pollen in the air. We are using a lot of our product called Antronex , to help the liver have a higher capacity to drain lymphatics and get the gunk to go out through the bowel rather than backing up into the sinuses. We are also trying to remind patients to keep themselves hydrated and that helps the lymph fluids to drain correctly. And don’t forget that hydration includes not only good quality water but also the electrolytes, which is just a fancy word for mineral or sea salt.

Don’t forget about our health shops that were having on Monday nights at 6:15 live on Instagram and Facebook and then recorded on Brighteon.com and YouTube. This month were talking about getting Ready for Winter and this week were talking about Preparing the Immune System to handle the cold weather and the cold and flu season. I always like to remind people that the bugs are always out there but it’s your immune system that has to be working correctly to ward off sicknesses. We will all be exposed to everybody coughing and hacking at work or shopping or whatever, but if you have a strong immune system working for you, you won’t get sick or have a very light reaction. On the other hand, if your immune system is working poorly, the common flu can put you in the hospital for a couple weeks. If you figure out the cost of all that, lost wages, lost time, and just downright aggravation, the cost of a few supplements is very little and works much better than being in the hospital. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”-remember that saying?

The article that I’m sending along looks at the need to have a working gallbladder. Now I know there are many people out there who have had theirs removed, but if you can keep it, and keep it working correctly, the body will be much happier. And to remember that when a gallbladder goes “bad”, this is an indication that the liver is not happy and just removing the gallbladder does nothing to help the liver. At Natural Health, and with Nutrition Response Testing and good Chiropractic care, we can help keep the organs working correctly, and at optimum energy, so that the body can do what it needs to do to stay healthy. Your liver does so many things for the body that it’s almost as important as the heart but most people don’t realize that. Plus, our environment, with all the chemicals and toxins, strain the liver already and then adding anything to it causes it to be overloaded. This is what happens to the gallbladder over time where the bile is not produced correctly and is not released correctly and the gallbladder gets overloaded with stones and toxins and goes “bad”. Just removing an organ or gland does not help with strengthening the immune system or the other systems of the body. It just removes a symptom.

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...

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...
