Well, it looks like Spring is on the way. It’s hard to believe that it’s March already but I think that we’re all ready for green grass and leave on the trees. As winter ends and start into spring Ive been checking everyone for vitamin D complex needs. At this time of year, we went through a time of not being outside and enjoying sunshine and so everyone starts to get low on vitamin D complex. I am not talking about vitamin D3 which is what the medics check for in blood work but the complete complex that helps the body to be actually healthy.
I find that if I can keep my patients’ vitamin D levels in good normal shape, their immune systems can work well and get rid of any colds or flu bugs that are still in there. This helps keep patients away from spring allergy problems which in my mind is basically a continual cold that the body has a hard time getting rid of until the patient gets outside in the fresh air and sunshine and starts to produce more vitamin D themselves, if they have the building blocks, and digestive ability, to do that. This is why checking patients periodically is important to make sure that if their needs change because of the different seasons, we can handle that and keep them healthy.
The article that Im sending along today looks at problems with chemicals in the environment and problems with the “science”. In this article it looks at a research article done 25 years ago that was relied on to prove that the chemical they're talking about was safe for people to be around. The problem is that it was ghostwritten by Monsanto. Now from a farm background so I realize the need to use chemicals for certain crop production needs but its a matter of knowing whether its safe or not so that you can stay away from it as much as possible. At Natural Health, we know that there are going to be chemicals in the environment and our goal is to help patients have a strong detox system, along with the immune system, to help the patient to stay healthy and not end up with chronic disease issues, one of the main ones that center around this chemical is Cancer.
We realize that there are a lot of chemicals out there that are very necessary for our lives to be as nice as they are, but we should know which ones are safe to be around and to keep them off of our food. Another problem that we see with the “science” is that they only test one chemical at a time so there is no way of knowing what the interactions of different chemicals are or what the body can handle with differing amounts of the chemical and different combinations of chemicals. This is another reason that it is extremely important to keep the body healthy and able to remove these toxins that get into our systems from the environment, a big goal here at Natural Health. And of course, we are not only concerned with the detox and immune system, but all the systems of the body. looking at a more holistic approach to Wellness and not just treating symptoms. Even treating symptoms should be a short-term action and the underlying cause should be found, as we do here at Natural Health.
