Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-
Will I hope that everyone survived Christmas in fine fashion. It wasn’t a white Christmas but at least we could drive around easily and visit our friends and relatives without any problems with the weather. It’s always nice to see people around the holidays and catch up on news. I’m always amazed at how fast the time goes during the holidays, and always surprised at how fast the year went by. I want to make sure and wish you and yours a very Happy New Year, and if there’s anything that we can do at Natural Health to help you and yours feel better and pursue a road to good health, please call and let us know. Our purpose here at Natural Health is to help all of our patients, families, and friends to regain true natural health through the body’s innate healing ability, and have the best quality of life possible.
The article that I’m sending along today looks at the importance of breastfeeding for the little ones. It’s an int arresting article, not only because it’s showing the importance of good nutrients in moms diet, but it shows how we have been marketed and advertised into using formula for decades. An interesting comment that I see on social media from time to time is that “cow’s milk is for calves” and that is very true. When mom is breastfeeding, she is communicating with the child on what the child needs and is able to supply that as long she has that ability with the nutrients stored in her body. It’s also has a lot to do with hormone balancing and the guts ability to digest and absorb good nutrients. It also has a lot to do with the intestinal flora and how much stress mom is under. It also has a lot to do with moms health history.
At Natural Health, we work hard to make sure that all of these factors are covered so that the baby is healthy and develops to strong immune system to handle the bugs in our environment that are going to be there at some time or another. We try to get our mothers, and mothers to be, to start working on a good nutritional bank account before even getting pregnant. Just like with any disease process or sickness, there’s so much that moms, and dads, can do to be healthy and this prevents a lot of problems with the pregnancy, delivery, and care of the little one. Even something simple as colic can be handled with nutritional support and chiropractic care. Over the years I have adjusted many, many infants to help them get rid of colicky symptoms. Sometimes the doctors that helped with delivery cause trauma to the baby and adjusting helps those problems immensely.
We’ve also had many moms bring in their children to help detox them from effects of their environment, like food dyes and some of the ingredients in vaccines. Please remember that at Natural Health, our goal is to help our patients to become healthy and live vibrant lives and not have to rely on drugs to handle symptoms.
