What is Cal-Amo?

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

We finally got some rain so it was nice to see everything greening back up again this morning. And it’s cooled down some so that’s great to keep the air-conditioners from running all the time. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of time for that as we will have summer here soon. One of the biggest things were seeing at the office, that is weather-related, is people getting dehydrated. And just as an explanation, dehydration is not just a lack of water or fluids, but the need for the electrolytes as well. The term “Electrolytes” is just a fancy word for salt. We teach people at Natural Health to use sea salt or mineral salt, not the refined white junk salt that you see on all the snacks, and processed foods, and restaurant tables. I think this is something that is so simple that’s overlooked by most people and can help prevent a lot of health problems throughout the summer. I even think that people that are well hydrated, with fluids and electrolytes, will not suffer the bug bites that people who are dehydrated will. Again, it’s pretty important but overlooked. This is why we use a lot of our product called Cal-Amo during the warm and humid times throughout the year. This product is a calcium mineral salt and helps a ton with that worn out feeling from lack of hydration, and the leg cramps and muscle spasms that people get during the summer months.

This month in our Health Shops and Patient Education Workshops, we are looking at men’s health particularly but the information that we present will help with everyone’s health. Just like the hydration information above, a holistic and natural approach to health helps everyone. And like listed above, there are many simple things people can do to help themselves be healthy, not only during the warm months of the year, but all the time. A good example of this is that during the summer months, people like to drink lemonade. Now the lemon juice and the water are good for people, but all the sugar, of course, is not. It’s another one of those sneaky things that taste good but is not healthy long term.

The article that I’m sending along looks at the need for flavonoids to help with age-related memory loss. Now, of course, when they do this kind of research, they look at one thing causing one thing because that is as broad a scope as they can understand by doing these studies. And, of course, then the object is to sell people this one thing to help with this one thing. At Natural Health, we are looking at a much broader approach to not only help with the complete health of the body, but also using whole natural foods and whole natural food supplements to help with whole Natural Health, not just treating one thing with one thing. Many of the supplements that we use with our patients are given to them for a certain reason, but after the body has healed that reason, the body uses the whole food to help the rest of the body to be healthy. Whole food supplements are much more complete and healthful then using a singular vitamin for some purpose. Similar vitamins used for a purpose or almost another form of using a drug for a purpose, but not as dangerous. At Natural Health, were looking at a much broader and holistic approach to health and healing. Our bodies are meant to run on actual foods in the form that nature makes them and not on drugs or singular vitamins removed from a food source. Not that these things don’t work or are not necessary at certain times, but they do not promote long-term health. Actual food and hydration does.
