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.

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.

A Blessing

Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life. Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le

Enjoy The Show

Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us. Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we
