Spring Colds, Ancient Wisdom & True Health: Why Symptom Care Isn’t Enough

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation –

Well, we are having a Spring this year. The temperatures are staying cool but everything is greening up so we know that were headed in the right direction. Were seeing patients coming in with Spring colds which is usually a side effect of the Easter festivities, and being low in Vitamin D after the winter. It’s really important to get over these colds now so that they don’t drag on forever and get re-diagnosed as Summer allergies. I find that most “allergy” issues are unresolved viral infections that the body just can’t get over, and which keeps the body full of mucous, so when any more dust and pollen gets in, there is an overflow and the nose runs and the eyes are watery. Our Vitamin D products include Cataplex D and Cod Liver Oil, and our drainage tools include Antronex and Alergco. We also have great tools to help the immune system strengthen to get the viruses back under control. Viruses and Bacteria are with us all the time so it’s very important to have a strong immune system to keep them in check. I have a cousin that has bad eating and drinking habits who cut his leg, thought he could handle it, and is now in the hospital in bad shape as the infection went septic, and almost ended him. Thankfully, the docs got it under control and he should make it, but not a smart route to take. That’s another reason we do Nutrition Response Testing in the office, to monitor the bodies health status and prevent hospital trips.

The article that I’m sending along today, is looking at Ancient Wisdom in Health and how our predecessors are healthier than folks in the present day. Because of the seed oils in foods, the environmental chemicals we have to deal with, and sedentary lifestyles, we are dealing with more degenerative disease than ever before. Even the lifespan expectancy is going down. We need to get away from treating our health like a trauma – doing nothing about it and waiting for a problem to arise and then treating the symptom only and not the cause, and wondering why we get diseases like Diabetes, Cancer, and Heart disease. Now the medics do a great job on trauma and emergencies, saving lives (as in the example above), but most of those traumas could have been avoided if they were educating patients about, or even looking for, the cause of the disease. At Natural Health, we are using time tested methods to regain and maintain true health, not just covering up or controlling symptoms with medications. Drugs should only be used short term to help a condition, the cause found and corrected, and then off the drug. Our healthcare system is more symptom care or disease management then it is true health care. We have been helping patients get healthy now for more than 43 years so we know of the “ancient wisdom”, which is really the bodies innate healing ability, to reach true health. Please share this information with friends and family so that we can get this country back to a healthy state.

Get Healthy, Stay Healthy, Live Well
