Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-
What a beautiful weekend and I hope you were able to enjoy it. Yes, it’s gotten a little cooler but it’s not really cold yet. The trees are so pretty with all the different colors and I hope they last a long time. It hasn’t really froze hard yet so the oak trees are not letting go of their leaves much. That time will come for sure. I think that due to the weather change, the time change, and vaccinating for flu and the like-due to the shedding, were seeing a lot of sickness around. Part of that can also be coming from the Halloween candy that has hurt people’s immune system.
Don’t forget that we have lots of great products, that we can test on your body for efficiency and effectiveness, that can help your immune system handle these environmental hazards. One of our favorite products this time of year is Congaplex, which is a great product to help the white blood cells have more ability to get rid of the bugs. Another great product is Cataplex A-C, which is a vitamin A complex product for clearing the gunk out of the lymphatic system and vitamin C complex which helps the immune system to work better in general. There’s also some Echinacea in there too, to help move it along faster. Please don’t take a bunch of Tylenol and/or antibiotics that will suppress the body’s immune system and you’ll have a cold or flu all winter. Use natural products to help your body to work correctly rather than overriding the body’s ability to help itself.
And speaking of vitamin C complex, the article that I’m sending along is looking at a return of the symptom called Scurvy. This is a condition that was thought to have been eradicated centuries ago but because no one pays attention to good nutrition, and the need for vitamin C complex, not just ascorbic acid that the FDA allows to be called vitamin C, we’re seeing a resurgence of this problem. The article looks at this condition called Scurvy and what it’s about. Basically, any kind of bleeding problem can have its roots in a lack of vitamin C complex. When you see a person who is on blood thinners (aka rat poison) and they have big bruises on their arms, that is what Scurvy can look like.
If you know your history of English Sailors, you will remember that they were called “limeys” because they ate limes to get natural vitamin C complex and that kept them from the later stages of the condition Scurvy. Knowing this helped the English to remain a dominant sea power because the other countries didn’t know that and their sailors got sick. It’s all very interesting and important to realize that such a simple thing as a lack of vitamin C complex can cause so many symptoms, which are lumped together into this term called Scurvy. At Natural Health, we strive to get patients to eat in a variety of foods that contain vitamin C complex, and all the other vitamins and minerals they need, and if that’s not possible, we have the whole food supplements and herbals that are necessary for good health.
