Having Sinus Issues?

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

Another beautiful weekend but we just can’t seem to get any rain. Things are so dry again and the harvesting has pumped a lot of dust and pollen into the air. We’re getting a lot of complaints of sinus issues and using a lot of great nutritional products to help the body handle it. Don’t forget that when you breathe dust and pollen in, the body’s immune system gets a hold of it and takes it to the lymphatics which drain into the liver so through the bowel, it can get it all out, so you need good liver support. We have many great products for that to help the liver to work correctly and at a higher capacity, rather than using medication to force things to work a certain way. At Natural Health, we feel that working with the body and supporting its activities and functions are much healthier than trying to suppress a symptom which can lead to worse problems later. If you remember the bucket analogy, we want your bucket to be drained out so that the body can handle the incoming dust and pollen without allergy symptoms.

Our health shops this month are talking about chiropractic issues as October is National Chiropractic Month. This week were talking about the brain-body connection, or lack thereof, due to barriers that get into our system and keep the nervous system and immune system from working correctly. That is what we discover with our Nutrition Response Testing exams and then we can help the body rid itself of these barriers so that normal function is restored. This normal function equates to actual true health, not symptom suppression and just feeling good. Our nation has one of the worst health outcomes in the world, plus we spend twice as much as any other country on healthcare. And the word healthcare is actually a misnomer as its really just disease management. At Natural Health, we strive towards a different paradigm of getting the nervous system to work correctly so the body can coordinate its healing efforts, and supplying the building blocks it needs through whole food nutritional supplements and dietary education. True health or disease management-which do you think works better?

The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the need for good deep sleep. Most of our patients find that we work hard to get this to happen because we know that sleep is when the body heals. There are many people out there though that don’t sleep well and I feel it’s due to a lack of certain B vitamins that do not allow the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the autonomic nervous system that helps with resting and relaxing and repair, to come up and do its function at night. Many people are doing a lot of caffeine during the day and refined carbs which robs the body of these B vitamins so again, sleep is interrupted, and good deep sleep may not happen at all. And with many health issues, people can seem to get by without sleep or other things for a while, but then they start to crash or end up with degenerative type diseases in their later years. The point is that deep sleep is very important for healing and we help many patients with that here at Natural Health.
