Spring Forward into Optimal Health

Spring is the season for renewal

    Mind, Body & Spirit

We hope that you took advantage of the FREE 21 Day Meditation Challenge from Deepak Chopra & Oprah Winfrey that we posted in last month's newsletter.  We really enjoyed it and welcome your feedback!  Here is a 16 minute sample meditation for positive global transformation:

Meditation, like a good self-help book, is a wonderful tool to reflect on one's life and assess areas for improvement.  It gives us an opportunity to pause and introspect.  When we work on healing and understanding ourselves this way, we have a more calm and peaceful life.  When we are centered, we are also better equipped to handle whatever life brings our way.  Other people or events cannot control us because we become less reactive and more accepting.  We realize that we can only change ourselves and we work on manifesting our potential.  If you missed the online challenge, MP3 downloads can be purchased for only 99 cents here.

Spring is the season that many people suffer from allergies due to the pollens in the air. We recommend a natural anti-histamine called quercitin which comes from onions. The price is $22 for 1 month supply, 60 capsules.

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that supports cellular health and function. In human cell culture studies, it has been shown to block the manufacture and release of inflammation-causing substances, which can help support a healthy immune response to the seasonally changing environment. It also helps promote a healthy cardiovascular system by preserving endothelial integrity and supporting healthy blood glucose levels for those already within normal range. Optimized Quercetin is a proprietary formulation that sets the “gold standard” for high-quality quercetin derived from a food-source blend.

Here is an educational health awareness video which mentions quercitin in relation to cardiovascular fitness:

Spring is also the ideal time to detoxify the body.  So if you haven't tried our detox kit yet, 'tis the season!

The three homeopathic remedies in the detox kit are specially formulated to cleanse the kidneys, intestines and lymphatic system on a cellular level.  30 drops are taken from each bottle into a large bottle of water which is sipped throughout the day.  Detox'ing is necessary due to our exposure to pesticides, polluted soil, air pollution and other environmental toxins.  It is wise to "Spring clean" your body at least once per year for optimal health and wellbeing.  The detox treatment lasts for 1 month and costs $40.

Spring Cleaning for Your Body

Spring is the time people clear the clutter in their homes.  It is also an opportune time to clean the garbage from your body!  By cleaning the body we are not talking about soap and water or external apricot scrubs.  We are talking about cleaning the body from the inside--cleaning the vital organs, tissues, and cells so they can function optimally.  Toxins accumulate from food, drinks, and the environment and by removing these obstacles we can enjoy improved health, vitality, and longevity.

Detoxification is commonly abbreviated as detox and it may mean many different things to different people.

For some, it is associated with enemas, colonics, and herbal fiber supplements or intestinal parasite cleansers.  Others might think about the Master Cleanse which involves drinking lemon water with maple syrup and cayenne pepper and not eating for days.  Other people associate detoxing with liver cleansing juice fasts and green supplements such as spirulina and chorella.  Some may conjure up the image of foot baths with nasty colored water.  Some people think about heavy metal chelation and intravenous vitamin therapies.  And some may think about all the gimmicks and plethora of detox services and products and write-off the entire industry as a scam.

Let’s break it down.

Who: We are all exposed to toxins in our food, water, and environment.  If you are breathing, you have toxins.  Period.  Some people are more sensitive to toxins due to their genetics and individual tolerance levels.  Even at low level exposures, they may suffer signs and symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, depression, body aches and pains, weight gain, digestive issues, irritability, allergies, auto-immune disorders and much more.  Other people can be very toxic yet not manifest any problems until the toxic burden is so heavy that they develop cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, or another chronic health care concern.

What: Detoxing can take many forms as mentioned above.  So the consumer may feel overwhelmed and not know where to start.  The best advice is to see a naturopathic doctor or other holistic health care professional.  Based on the individual’s history, signs and symptoms, diet, exposure, and lab test results, we can determine which approach is best suitable for the person.  For example:  Bob who suffers from migraine headaches and has four amalgam (mercury) dental fillings might start with a provoked heavy metal urine test to determine his levels of mercury and other heavy metals.  He may be advised to see a holistic dentist to replace his mercury fillings and then start a chelation therapy protocol.  While Tina who has been suffering from gastrointestinal complaints since her trip to India and the far East, feels fatigue and has some mental fog may do a stool analysis test to determine if she has intestinal parasites or a candida overgrowth and if so she may be prescribed an herbal parasite cleanse and recommended a course of colonics.

When: Because we are all exposed to toxins, it is wise to detoxify at least once per year.  Some say once every 6 months, depending on exposure to toxins.  The best time of year to detox is the Spring.  Spring is the season for letting go of everything (and even everyone--negative influences) that doesn't serve your highest good.  It makes sense to clean the home, and the home of the soul in Spring.

Where: When it comes to detox naturopaths know best.  Find one in your city at:

•          www.healthprofs.com

Why: Since the body is a temple of the soul, keeping it clean is very important!  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  Get rid of toxins before the burden creates a malady because you deserve to enjoy optimal health, wellbeing, and longevity.  

What else: We mentioned the body and the spirit but what about the mind?  Decluttering the mind is also of paramount importance.  Read positive books, listen to motivational MP3's, lectures, or subliminal affirmations, to achieve your goals and to think positively.  I would also encourage and support counseling, life-coaching, or other therapeutic activities that can help a person to clean their head out from negative thoughts and emotions which are also toxic and the source of dis-ease.
