What They Don't Tell You About Autoimmune Disorders and Arthritis

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation – 

I hope that you all had a great weekend and were able to enjoy the rain that we had. It was starting to get a little dry again and now everything is refreshed. It sure cooled down nicely too. The big problem has been the humidity. It’s sure easy to sweat when it gets this hot and humid. Were starting to see signs of dehydration in patients and are reminding everyone about getting enough fluids, and electrolytes, to handle the heat. As it’s just getting started, haven’t even got to July yet, so it looks to be a long, hot summer. Please don’t forget about our Cal-Amo product. It is a calcium salt and really helps with hydration, energy in the hot weather, and muscle spasms and leg cramps. We use a lot of it in the summer, and really, all year around. Also don’t forget that even though you may not be outside a lot, being in the AC pulls humidity out of the air and folks can dehydrate just from the air conditioner working all day. Hydration is such a simple thing but so important for so many functions of the body. For instance, I feel that folks could take a lot less blood thinner medications if they would just stay hydrated correctly. 

The article that I’m sending along today looks at the problem of using pain meds for that symptom, and making the problem worse, but never looking for or finding the underlying cause of the problem. The article points out that Arthritis can be caused by hidden food allergies and unresolved infections. Once the joint starts to deteriorate, the body tries to clean up the mess, resulting in an autoimmune response and the condition gets worse. This article is a focused on Arthritis, but it is the same for many other chronic and degenerative diseases as well. This, in a nutshell, is what’s wrong with our healthcare system in this country – treating symptoms instead of finding the cause of the problems, and the person's actual health declines. At Natural Health, we have a different health care paradigm that we work at where we help patients find the underlying cause, help the body heal that, and the symptoms go away. The human body has the innate intelligence to heal itself if the trouble causing barriers are removed, and giving it the necessary nutrients it needs to rebuild the tissues involved. Yes, emergency situations need to be handled, but really, most of the degenerative disease processes should have never gotten this bad if folks were more aware of how to be healthy. The way it is now, no one educates the patient on how to avoid a disease, just keep going until it becomes a problem, emergency or not, and then treat it forever. This is expensive and a waste of time and energy, and quality of life. The question becomes what is your health worth to you?

At Natural Health, we educate our patients on how to take care of the human body and avoid all this medical care that is thrust upon us.
