  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is used by nearly all your cells, metabolizing the carbohydrates and lipids in the foods you eat, helping to convert food into energy and boosting the flow of electrolytes in and out of your nerves and muscles Thiamine is important for healthy immune function, and may actually be crucial to protect against infectious respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 While thiamine deficiency is often the result of alcohol misuse, chronic infections, poor nutrition and/or malabsorption, recent research suggests vitamin B1 has dramatically declined throughout the food chain in recent years The transfer of thiamine up the food chain may be blocked by a number of factors, including the overabundance of thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys thiamine. Thiaminase is naturally present in certain microorganisms, plants and fish that have adapted to use it to their advantage Thiamine deficiency has been identified in dozens of animal species and is now suspected ...

  Hello Everyone at Natural Health Nation -      Another great weekend and it's looking like fall more and more. The farmers are really going to town with Harvest now and when you step outside you can hear combines running and grain dryers humming, around our neighborhood at least. It's so nice to have green grass and tree leaves yet this late in the year but I'm sure that will come to an end all too soon. We've been working with a lot of sinus issues and of course get great results with our supplements of nutritional products and homeopathic products. We will also start focusing on vitamin D as when the  days are shorter and people are outside less they start to get low on vitamin D and need supplementation. This is so important for immune system function as well as other aspects that we keep track of with our Nutrition Response Testing technique. Please tell others that there are other ways to be Healthy throughout the winter months rather than takin...

  Hello Natural Health Family. It’s that time of the year again. The weather is cooling down and the colors are starting to change. We have been going through a lot of change in recent times and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Nonetheless, one thing that doesn’t change is the importance of our health and how that reflects how we can handle the changes of life. Let’s talk about a few different topics of what we can do for ourselves to adapt to the change.  When was the last time you walked outside just to walk outside? Not for exercise, not for moving your body, not for getting the blood pumping around your body, not for moving your joints to promote healthy oxygenation to all the cells of your body, not to clear your head of thoughts, not to get some fresh air, not to get some sunlight for healthy vitamin D synthesis, not to strengthen the muscles and ligaments of your body including your spine, but rather just to walk. You didn’t do it for something in particu...

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -      What a great weekend. We got a lot done outside and are so thankful that we got some good rain to keep everything green. Karen even noticed that after she mowed off the garden, there's another crop of volunteer vegetables growing and we're hoping that we actually get some produce from that. It's just great to have the trees green yet and the grass still growing this late into fall. The weather is even good for the farmers as it's dry enough to get the crops ready for Harvest and they seem to be doing well. We are noticing some people having problems with allergies and sinus problems so we're working hard with those folks here at the office to get them doing better. It's not always allergies but just breathing in the pollen of the late fall flowers and all the Dust and pollen from the crops being harvested.        In October we are looking at inflammation in our health shop classes and...

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE In the early 2000s, David Martin, Ph.D., founder of M-CAM International, started finding large numbers of patents that violate biological and chemical weapons laws In 1999, Dr. Anthony Fauci funded research to create “an infectious replication-defective recombinant coronavirus.” In 2002, Ralph Baric, Ph.D. and colleagues at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, filed a patent on recombinant coronavirus, and within a year, we got the world’s first SARS outbreak Since 1999, at least 4,000 patents involving coronavirus have been filed, including patents detailing key features of the so-called “novel” SARS-CoV-2 virus The 2001 anthrax attack, which came out of medical and defense research, led to the passage of the PREP Act, which removed liability for manufacturers of emergency medical countermeasures The funds for entitlement programs and pensions will dry up by 2028, at which point the drug industry will go bankrupt as well. With a burgeoning population ...
