This kind of news hits home and makes my blood boil...

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-


I hope that you enjoyed the weekend as things are warming up. It’s good to see a warming

trend as I just returned from Florida, being on a vacation for two weeks. It sure went fast, had lots of

activities but didn’t get much rest in. When I left Florida to return to Illinois, the temperature was 64

that morning and when I got to Springfield, it was 9. I’ve had several patients thank me for bringing

some warm weather back-ha.


There’s lot’s going on here at Natural Health that I hope you’ll notice when stopping by for visits

or nutrition. We are working on getting things cleaned up and more usable. Working on changing our

web site to make that easier to navigate. We’re changing the software that we use for scheduling to

make that easier for people and having paperwork available online to complete before coming into the

office. All kinds of things we’re trying to improve here at Natural Health for patients to have an

enjoyable as well as a healthful visit when coming here. We really do appreciate our patients and want

to do the best we can for them.


In our health shop this week, we’ll be talking about heart health as it concerns the valves and A-

Fib. There are lots of nutritional things we do for our patients who have these conditions. This is one of

the big reasons we have our Heart Sound Recorder, which records the sounds of the heart valves and

can tell us the strength of the heart muscle and what nutritional needs that person has. It’s important

to realize that the heart gets first crack at the nutrition that comes into the bloodstream. If the heart

shows nutritional deficiencies when we use our Heart Sound Recorder, then the rest of the body is

having problems too. It’s a very non-invasive but effective way of seeing what’s going on with the heart

and cardiovascular system. We also find that the thyroid gland, and its hormone production, is usually

involved with people who have A-Fib, or any palpitations or miss rhythms of the heart. Of course, we

have nutritional products that we use to help the heart muscle and the thyroid gland work correctly as

nature intended. Drugs can sometimes control a symptom, but they do nothing to help strengthen or

heal the affected areas.


The article that I’m sending along goes right along with this idea of drugs not helping the

underlying cause. It goes into some detail about the opioid epidemic going on in this country, and I

don’t think the open southern border has helped that out at all. When I was in Florida, I made several

new friends and we had lots of fun talking about things and boating. When I got home, I was informed

that one of these friends’ daughter had just overdosed on fentanyl. This kind of news hits home and

makes my blood boil because of the situation we’re in with all the drugs, either legal or illegal, and

people not understanding about getting to the cause of the problem to help the body be naturally

healthy, rather than just managing symptoms or disease. And yes, medication may be important for the

short term or to handle emergency situations, but just living on them forever is absolutely not healthy.

Health is not just being symptom free, but being able to enjoy life with vibrant energy and ability to

think correctly with all systems working well.

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...
