Dr. Mark and Dr. Chip's Healthy Blogs

  Hello again to all the great people of the Natural Health family. Today I wanted to discuss briefly two ways that one could look at health. One way to see it could be that the world is filled with different things that can harm you and that you are a victim to this unforgiving world. Another way to see it is that you are a powerful beyond measure capable of defending yourself from any outside influence. Let’s dive into why these two views are not right or wrong but need context to be understood.  We know that there are different things in our environment such as bacteria and viruses that can be harmful to us IF we are not able to adapt to the “bug.” For instance a person (not allergic to bees)  gets stung by one bee can have some mild swelling and be able to recover from it fairly well. However, if that same person were to get swarmed and stung by many bees then it could have life threatening effects. This is because the person was overloaded and not able to adapt to ...

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Wasn’t Sunday’s weather excellent? It’s so nice to have sunshine and the temperatures being in the 60s at least. So despite the erroneous mainstream medicines advice that sun causes cancer, please go out and enjoy the sunshine as mankind has been in the sun for millennia and it helps to activate vitamin D which definitely supports and strengthens the immune system. Also the fresh air is great for cleaning out toxins in the body. And as a bonus, the sunshine kills viruses and bacteria, one of the reasons we always seem healthier in the summer.             This week’s article talks about how one New York Dr. is using zinc to help his coronavirus patients and their pulling through it much easier than other conventional doctors care. In the article is this quote from Dr. Mercola-“It’s hard to understand this kind of igno...

Let’s talk today about the latest “bug” that is supposedly affecting the whole world, coronavirus (COVID-19). Now there are many ways to approach this topic but for this post I will mostly stick to the influences on health.      First, let’s talk about how people get sick. When a person is faced with chronic stress for long periods of time and is not able to adapt to the stress, then his or her body will become dis-eased. No organism can live in long term states of chronic stress. This goes for all chronic illnesses such as heart disease, lung disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, COPD, kidney disease, etc.      Now where does stress come from? A person is stressed by 3 means: chemical, physical, and emotional. (You could also say that technology is a new modern stress) So this means that if we continue to eat unhealthy foods then our bodies will lose their ability to adapt to stress and become dis-eased. When we physically don’t...
