Low on Salt?

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

I hope that everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend. We took off Monday as a bonus for everyone’s hard work during the virus business so the email blast this week is a little late. We sure had fun outside enjoying the warm weather and it was definitely warm. I’ve had several patients come in today already showing signs of dehydration and basically because everyone forgets that they need extra salt during these hot spells, as well as good quality water. We’re using a lot of our salt pill product called Cal-Amo and I take quite a few when I’m sweating through my clothes on these hot days. If you start feeling weak and tired, like a wrung out dishrag, usually means you’re low on salt and becoming dehydrated. There’s nothing wrong with sea salt or mineral salt but stay away from the processed white junk salt, especially in packaged processed “foods”.

I’m enclosing a great article with this email on why polyunsaturated fatty acids, or PUFAs, are so bad for us. The video from Dr. Knobbe has lots of good information as to why this is. At Natural Health, we get people to look at white flour and white sugar and mention the use of good quality fats but this video and article really needs to be looked at as a major cause of poor health. The health of the entire world has gotten worse over the last century due to the use of processed foods and vegetable oils. The information in the video is amazing and we will be stressing these points more at Natural Health.

One of the big points that I want to make here is that mainstream medicine has been promoting the use of these oils and processed foods ever since Pres. Eisenhower’s heart attack back in the 50s. They are still promoting the use of “heart healthy” carbs and keeping people away from saturated fat. The science on this has been proven over and over but you can’t make money on treatment unless you keep your patients sick. I am always amazed at what my patients tell me they have been advised on when they have certain conditions, i.e.-eating oatmeal every morning as a diabetic-crazy!

At Natural Health, we strive to get our patients to be actually truly healthy. What is your definition of health? Being pain-free is not healthy. Being on drugs or medications, or people that are overweight, is not healthy.
