  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -       I hope that you all had a great weekend, even though the weather wasn't fantastic. It is January so getting by with  not much snow or ice is a plus. It's still very important to keep your immune system working well and especially watching the vitamin D level. We make sure our patients eat plenty of good oils as the source for vitamin D, and then use a suntan bed once a week if possible to activate the vitamin D. We're seeing so much of this even in the mainstream media, on the need for Vitamin D to keep the immune system working correctly. This is for the Covid virus and all other infections as well. There are plenty of other ways to help the immune system, things like vitamin C, getting plenty of rest, keeping stress to a minimum, etc. At Natural Health, we help our patients to know what they need to be at Optimum Health and not have to worry about the environment and bugs.    ...

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Another great weekend, I hope you were able to enjoy it and get that good vitamin D activating sunshine. It’s definitely getting hot at times and the humidity was up so don’t forget to use more sea salt or mineral salt to keep yourself hydrated. Also using coconut oil on those suntanned or sunburned areas helps the skin to heal itself quickly and get that good tanning process going.             Hard to believe that June is almost gone but looking forward to the July 4 weekend and all the fun that goes with that. I’m talking to a lot of patients about eating as healthy as possible as all these holidays seem to get us into bad habits of eating too much junk food and sugar. There’s lots of good recipes for good foods and we are having some shown on our health shop this week. If you happen to miss it on Monday night, it ...

How Drug Industry Is Countering Diminishing Vaccine Uptake Analysis by  Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE As lockdowns have kept people at home and out of medical facilities, infant vaccination rates have dropped. This may be why they’ve started promoting baseless claims suggesting common childhood vaccinations might prevent COVID-19 deaths Despite lack of proof, media claims the TB vaccine, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and oral polio vaccines might protect against COVID-19 A Singaporean study finds common colds caused by frequently encountered betacoronaviruses might make you more resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and that the resulting immunity might last as long as 17 years If you’ve beat a common cold caused by a OC43 or HKU1 betacoronavirus in the past, you may have a 50/50 chance of having defensive T-cells that can recognize and help defend against SARS-CoV-2 Other studies have also discovered that many appear to have prior resistance to SARS-CoV-2. One ...

Analysis by   Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Mainstream media, supported by monopoly tech platforms like Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, are going to great lengths to control the narrative of what you see and read about the COVID-19 pandemic May 2, 2020, USA Today tried to debunk my April 7, 2020, article, “Vitamins C and D Finally Adopted as Coronavirus Treatment,” which has more than 814,600 views, without presenting any counterevidence The majority of mainstream media in the U.S. are owned, funded (through advertising) — and therefore easily controlled — by only a few powerful corporate entities and industries, some of which are overseas and may not even have American interests at heart Only 47% of American adults trust mainstream digital publishers to report accurate information about COVID-19. Still, 85% trust the CDC and 77% trust WHO, both of which have the same conflicts of interest as most mainstream media Both vitamin C and D have an enormous am...

Vitamin B1 Is Vital to Protect Against Infectious Disease Analysis by  Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency syndrome (beriberi) has many similarities to sepsis — a primary cause of COVID-19 mortality — and thiamine deficiency is relatively common in critically ill patients in general Thiamine deficiency is prevalent in pulmonary tuberculosis, and the more severe the case, the more severe the thiamine deficiency. Thiamine has been shown to limit Mycobacterium tuberculosis by regulating your innate immunity Thiamine deficiency is also associated with the development of high fever, and some researchers have suggested that serious infections may in fact be a presenting manifestation of thiamine deficiency Clinical case reports have shown thiamine injections reversed a number of acute illnesses in which high fever was a factor, including one case where the patient presented with high fever, headache and asphyxia, and another where the patient...
