WHY NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION IS ESSENTIAL IN TODAY’S SOCIETY?

There seems to be an on-going debate as to whether nutritional supplements are actually necessary. Some studies claim that people who take a multivitamin are not any healthier than those who don’t. Other studies have proved time and time again that supplements have played an integral part in helping promote health and wellness.  There are countless studies showing that by simply increasing your vitamin and mineral intake you can promote mental clarity, weight loss, boost your immunity, reduce stress, prevent cancer and other diseases, combat depression, lower blood pressure, reduce cravings, increase energy levels, improve sleep, and regulate digestion. Given this information is it little wonder that many experts now advise that an all-round supplementation program, in conjunction with a healthy diet, is a savvy health choice.

Reason #1: Food Isn’t What It Used To Be

Some people theorize that we get all the nutrients we need from food. While that is a nice idea, it simply is not the case anymore. At one point in time, food was grown in your neighborhood, if not if your own backyard. The chickens, cows, and goats ate what they were naturally designed to digest. Fruits and vegetables were allowed to ripen and gain the maximum level of nutrients right on the vine, where they were then pick and almost immediately consumed. The soils were rich with minerals, and chemical pesticides had yet to be introduced.

Yes, at that time, food did provide the nutrients necessary for health. Now, soil has been overused and lacks in overall nutritional value. Fruits and vegetables are picked way too early and are ripen with ethanol gas while they sit in a dark truck traveling across the country. Animals are fed processed foods that are unnatural to their digestion and making them sick. And let’s not forget about all the man-made foods (GMOs) that are completely unrecognizable in nature, the chemicals added to foods to preserve them, and the genetic mutations made to plants in order to mass-produce crops.

Nothing about our food is the same. Unless you raise your own meat, grow your own produce, and rotate your soils every seven years to ensure mineral replenishment, then the truth is your food does not contain the ideal nutrients anymore.

Reason #2: Most People Don’t Eat Enough Of The Right Foods

Do you get a minimum of five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day? Do you eat enough complete proteins, containing all eight essential amino acids? How about oils and fiber?

Even if our food was still nutritionally dense and unprocessed, most people do not get enough of the right foods to meet their bodies’ demands for vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, and amino acids. Additionally, certain people have conditions that demand higher levels of certain nutrients, almost to the point where it’s impossible to physically consume enough in a single setting or day.

Reason #3: New Diseases Are Linked To Nutrition Deficiencies

 The average life span is far greater than is used to be, thanks to the reduction of acute illnesses, such as the plague or small pox. Instead, we live a long life but suffer from chronic and long-term illness, including arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, thyroid conditions, fibromyalgia, hormonal imbalances, depression and anxiety, acid reflux disease, and so on.

While acute illnesses often require conventional medical treatment, chronic illnesses can frequently be linked back to a nutritional deficiency or digestive disorder. If the problem is lack of nutrition, then it would just make sense that the solution would be an increase in nutrition, which can be achieved with a good diet and the right supplementation.

Reason #4: Environmental Toxins Create A Higher Demand For Nutrients

Cars, manufacturing plants, chemical pesticides, cell phones, radiation, household cleaners, cosmetics, birth control pill, vaccinations…this list could go on and on. Our technological advances have brought on toxic overload. Because most of us probably won’t trade in our cell phones or vehicles, we are in a position of having to combat the negative effects our body experiences because of those things. Higher exposure to toxins, even in the form of excess stress, leads to a greater need for phytonutrients, antioxidants, and other immune boosting nutrients. Once again, we’re faced with a situation where food alone may not be enough and we need supplements to assist the body in times of both chronic and critical exposure.

Reason #5: Today’s Supplements Were Yesterday’s Medicine

Many of the people who argue we do not need supplements are probably the same people prescribing pharmaceutical drugs, thus acknowledging the fact that some treatment method is necessary. What we have forgotten is that what we now call nutritional supplements used to be medicinal treatments. Years ago, when you were in pain, you weren’t given aspirin; you were given white willow bark. When you had a stomach acid, you didn’t take Tums; you drank peppermint or ginger tea (or apple cider vinegar).

Considering this, it seems hard to believe than anyone could ever deny the need for nutritional supplementation, given that they have been used for the treatment of disease for centuries. Today we see them in capsules, tablets, and powders rather than ground in our kitchen with a mortar and pestle, but ultimately, they are serving the same purpose.

In summary, it is obvious that nutritional supplements are an essential element in the process of achieving optimal health. That said, it is also important to remember that supplements are just that: supplements. A well-rounded, clean diet is the best foundation to any healthy or healing lifestyle; however, supplements are there to fill in the gaps and address the needs that food alone cannot meet.     Stay Tuned...Next I will discuss on "the importance of ONLY utilizing Practitioner-Trusted vitamins and supplements".    You can start shopping TODAY at http://www.npscript.com/royalhealingnd

FLU SHOT WITHOUT THE SHOT

We all are well familiar with “the annual circulating flu”, the contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs.  The most common symptoms include: a high fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle pains, headache, coughing, and feeling tired. The best way to prevent the flu is NOT by getting a flu vaccine shot each year...but by “boosting your immune system” daily, in order to protect yourself. 

PREVENTION: THE BEST WAY TO ATTACK THE FLU Prevent The Viral Attack On Your Body Before It Even Comes:

If You Are Experiencing Any of the Above Symptoms, You May Be Dealing With A Dysfunctional Immune System… THIS CAN BE REVERSED. LEARN HOW TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM www.RoyalHealingND.com

Why Should I Avoid The Flu Vaccine?

During this time of the year, conventional medicine health experts tend to turn to their annual “flu vaccine” to battle the flu and, of course, the push for everyone to take this completely unnecessary vaccine, which can be avoided.

By the peak of the 2012-13 season, 135 million vaccines were made available just about everywhere, from the grocery store around the corner to your workplace. Doesn’t all of this seem like a huge push by Big Pharma wanting to unload their toxic drugs under the guise of human health and safety to increase their bottom-line profits?

The DHHS lists 21 different side effects, from mild to serious, that may occur after taking a flu shot or nasal spray on their Flu.gov website. Interestingly, the site lists almost as many serious problems, as it does milder ones.  

Among the serious side effects stemming from receiving a flu shot that require immediate medical attention: Urticaria/Hives Malaise/Weakness Dizziness Breathing Difficulties/SOB High Fever Tachycardia/Racing Heart

Scientists are willing to concede one very serious health issue linked with receiving a flu shot: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) an illness in which the body’s immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system linked to nerve damage, muscle weakness and fever.

Despite the long list of serious side effects, statistics about Americans who are sickened or die due to vaccines meant to protect them are virtually impossible to find.  THINK ABOUT IT… That said, in recent years, some countries have reported serious health problems with flu shots, ranging from narcolepsy in teenagers (Sweden, Finland and France) to fevers, allergic reactions, headaches and even death (Korea).

DID YOU KNOW?
The flu vaccine is less likely to be effective if the strains of flu in the vaccine do not match the strains of flu in the environment.  Nevertheless, even when the match is perfect, 1% of flu-vaccinated individuals end up with the flu compared to 4% of unvaccinated individuals.  The fact is that matching the strains of flu that are currently around and the vaccine is difficult because viruses evolve quickly, and it’s hard for vaccine producers to keep up.  THINK ABOUT IT…

As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor I approach the flu, like all imbalances in the body, which is to say I don’t assume the human body is subject to illness when the proper diet, supplementation and lifestyle precautions are taken.  When a patient is sick, it is necessary to look deeper and find out what missing links are interfering with the efficacy of their immune system.

My goal is to support each individual by strengthening the integrity of their immune system so there is less risk of a virus affecting the body, leaving it vulnerable to the aftermath of feeling sick, overwhelmed and miserable.

Understand that when the immune system is compromised it has less ability to fight off any viruses, bacteria or toxins we are perpetually faced with every minute of every day.  In addition, when we take things like vaccines, medications or antibodies, we mask the symptoms and actually weaken our immune system even further.  

***PROTECT YOUR BODY FROM THE FLU***

As the days get shorter and colder it is essential to protect your health.   Fact is, your body has all the tools it needs to protect itself without a toxic flu vaccine, take safer steps, starting today… to boost your immune system. Here some safe and natural steps to strengthen your immune system every day of the year and forget the vaccine flu shot:

The Natural Flu Shot Plan

1. ***ASK YOUR NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR (Alternative Medicine Expert) FOR THE NATURAL FLU SHOT REMEDY***
2. Improve your daily diet to include more fruits, vegetables and meats, ideally from organic sources. Remember to stay away from immune-depleting processed foods, full of enriched, fortified ingredients (like genetically modified products) that do nothing good for your health.
3. EAT CLEAN: Fill in any nutritional gaps in your diet by finding the best supplement for your health by an Alternative Medicine Expert.  We provide PRACTITIONER-TRUSTED supplements to support your individual needs and overall health.
   
4. Eat a nutrient-dense, whole foods-based diet:  Some of the most nutrient-dense foods include organ meats from grass-fed animal sources (like liver) and cold-water fatty fish, seasonal vegetables, fruits and starchy tubers (beets, parsnips, sweet potatoes, turnips) as well as nuts (if properly soaked first).
5. Prepare a Steam bath with essential healing oil such as Mentha piperita.
6. Increase Fluids:  Make a Diaphoretic tea by adding Sambucus nigra (flowers), Chamomilla, Fresh Ginger, and Dandelion in equal parts to a quarter liter boiling water, infuse 10 minutes, then take hot immediately in sips; use several times daily.
7. Eat as little as possible:  Listen to your body…if you have no appetite use that period to allow your gut to heal.
8. Limit your sugar intake as much as possible: Excess refined sugar consumption feeds bad bacteria in the gut, contributes to inflammation and depletes your body of much-needed vitamins and minerals.
9. Probiotic: Promoting healthy gut flora…so that the good bacteria outnumbers the bad.  This will help your body better protect itself against foreign microbes, including viruses.
10. Reduce the stress in your life, and you’ll remove one of the major problems that depletes your immune system. ***Instead, invest some of your free time visiting with friends, spend some time in nature, get a massage or learn relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation.***
11. Wash your hands often, but avoid antibacterial soaps that use harmful chemicals like triclosan.
12. Don’t skip on your sleep, one of the easiest and best ways to improve your health naturally.
13. Chopped raw onion covered with raw honey or sugar, cover for 6 hours and take 1 tsp. every hour or as needed for cough.
    
14. Fish and Cod Oil as EPA and DHA — fatty acids that help reduce inflammation.
15. Get enough fat-soluble vitamins A and D, which support the immune system.  Increase bioflavonoids and C rich foods with antiviral and microbial effects.
16. Such as: Garlic, onions, oranges, grapefruit, horseradish, lemons, elderberries, leeks, turnips, grapes, pineapples, honey, green leafy vegetables, cabbage and bone broth
17. Drink Bone Broth: Properly prepared bone broth, on the other hand, is an excellent source of bioavailable, immunity-boosting minerals such as magnesium, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, sulphur and other trace minerals.
18. Get your body moving with an exercise program, starting with baby steps like a short, brisk walk early on a cool morning.
19. You want to avoid eating foods that weaken the immune system.

AVOID:

• Heavy protein foods, fats, meats, shellfish
• Cow’s milk and other dairy products
• White bread, refined foods, processed foods, sugar, sweets
• Catarrh forming foods: tofu, meat, ice cream
