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.

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not. ...
