Why Calcium? by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

There are many indications of nutritional deficiencces that have been known for years.

Calcium is one of the most essential minerals to the health of the human body. Most people know that calcium is needed to build bones, but it is also needed in every cell of the body. Calcium is the key mineral to help activate the immune system to keep the body healthy, and to maintain normal muscle and nerve function.

Some common symptoms associated with calcium deficiency:

·      brittle fingernails, poor teeth, bone loss

·      numbness or tingling in your hands, feet or face

·      muscle spasms or muscle cramps

·      low resistance against infection, sinus trouble

·      memory loss, depression, irritability

·      insomnia, difficulty experiencing deep sleep

Today there is an abundance of food and nutritional supplements, yet there are many people who have a hidden calcium deficiency. There is a natural, inexpensive, non-invasive way to evaluate for the need for more calcium. You can have a calcium deficiency even if you are taking calcium supplements. It is not what you eat or supplement that matters. Can your body use your supplements and what you eat?

Utilization is what is important. Calcium from rock or cement is not utilized well by the body. The task is to find the correct source and amount of calcium for each individual. There is no such thing as one pill or one food for everyone. Fixing a deficiency can be very simple when using whole food calcium sources.

The best sources of calcium are the food sources, as they are the most easily metabolized sources of calcium. Eating fresh vegetables daily like broccoli, kale, parsley, and spinach provides the body with much needed calcium and other minerals. Foods high in calcium to add to your diet also include whole sesame and sunflower seeds, dulse seaweed, kelp and almonds. These foods have a more easily usable form of calcium compared to other sources.

We are all unique individuals, each with a different history, a different diet and lifestyle, different stressors, different metabolisms, and different nutritional needs. It is vital to find the specific type of calcium that your body can use so your muscles, nerves, bones, teeth and immune system function well.

If you have any of the above deficiency symptoms, there is help. A simple calcium test plus a review of your diet and lifestyle can easily determine what simple changes you can make to improve your body function, reduce your deficiency symptoms, and help you achieve optimal health and longevity.

How to Know if Your Food is Organic by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Is Your Food Organic?

Make sure you know where your food comes from when shopping. According to Wikipedia, organic foods are made according to certain production standards that allow certain non-organic fertilizers to be used. Ideally, it is best to get your organic produce from your own organic garden. When home gardening is not possible get your organic produce from local farmers who still control their own seed and grow organically.

As an alternative, there is a way to safely shop in a grocery store when buying organic produce. The key is the bar code label. The tiny annoying stickers appear on almost all fresh fruits and vegetables. The stickers actually contain the secret code to whether the fruit is organic, conventional or genetically modified. Only conventional, non-organic fruits and vegetables have  bar code stickers that have only 4 numbers. 
Both the organic and genetically modified bar code stickers have five numbers each.

The key to organically grown fruits and vegetables is they all have a 5 number bar code that begins with the number 9. Organic fruits and vegetables are required to be in separate areas in supermarket. The bar code sticker helps to confirm which type of produce is actually being purchased in case the food item has been put in the wrong location.

There is no requirement that supermarkets inform customers which fruits and vegetables being sold are genetically modified (GM). Genetically modified foods were first marketed in the early 1990’s, and have Monsanto’s RoundupÔ pesticide added to the genes of the plant. If you see a 5 number bar code that begins with the number 8 it may be Genetically modified. 

Reading the bar codes will tell the truth about the source of the fruits and vegetables. This means that a regular banana bar code would be 4011, an organic banana would be 94011 and a GM banana would be 84011.

Do You Eat Cashews?

Amazing Cashew Nuts!

(Source: NaturalNews)

The good news is, there is a natural alternative for these dangerous psychotropic 
meds if you are trying to battle depression: cashew nuts!

A coulee of handfuls of cashews work like a prescription does of Prozac, according 
to the Family Health Freedom Network, citing some of the latest research.

"Cashews are high in tryptophan, which the body turns into serotonin. Serotonin is 
responsible for mood regulation, healthy sleep and even sexual desire in the body", 
the site reported.

"Increasing your tryptophan intake by consuming whole, natural cashews sound like
an excellent alternative to prescription drugs any day. They also provide a host of 
other benefits to the body as well, from your cardiovascular health to your digestive 
system."

Health Tips Spot reported further that the cashew nut is also one of the world's 
healthiest foods, though only a small percentage of the natural medicines database 
is focused on cashew
benefits research.

These nuts come primarily from Brazil and a few countries in Africa. They are very 
rich in vitamins, have a high beneficial mineral content, and contain good fat in the 
form of essential fatty acids.

Enjoy the many health benefits these nuts can provide by adding them to your daily 
diet.

Cholesterol Good or Bad? by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

There is a lot of confusion about cholesterol. Cholesterol is what the liver makes in order to   enable us to handle stress, the sex hormones and to reproduce. Cholesterol is an essential component found in hormones that also helps form the brain, bile acids, vitamin D and the steroid hormones produced in the adrenal glands. 

It has other functions including protecting blood vessels from inflammation. When blood vessels are inflamed they can spring a leak, causing a heart attack or stroke. Cholesterol is the way the body protects the blood vessel lining. Too much inflammation will result in excess cholesterol build up inside the arteries, creating another issue. 

The solution is to reduce the cause of the inflammation. Inflammation is created by the Standard American Diet, or SAD for short. The SAD food list is high in carbohydrates, high in sugars and high in trans fats, all items found commonly in American fast food. 

If your diet is good, but you have high cholesterol, your liver is probably having issues using the cholesterol. High blood cholesterol indicates that there is an inability of the body to correctly manufacture the needed hormones and vitamins. The solution to high cholesterol is to repair the digestive tract, and the organs involved in fat metabolism, the liver and gall bladder. 

To determine if your fish oil is fresh, freeze it and then cut it open. If it smells fishy, it is rancid. Fresh fish oil does not smell. Rancid fish oil is in the same category as trans fat, not a beneficial food for the body. 

Cholesterol does not need to be eaten, because the liver and other tissues can manufacture cholesterol from saturated fats. make the hormones that enable us to handle stress and reproduce. The key here is saturated fats in the diet, not trans fats. Saturated fats include the essential fatty acids found in avocado, flax seeds, chia seeds and fresh fish oil. 

There is a natural solution to help repair cholesterol issues regardless if the levels are high or low. Levels that are too low will prevent your body from manufacturing sex hormones resulting in fatigue, infertility and impotency. Various alternative approaches to repairing cholesterol issues range from dietary and lifestyle changes to natural whole food support for the liver, gall bladder and digestive system. 


Another solution is Alkalized Antioxidant Rich Water:  Alkalized water is the most hydrating water there is. This water tastes different and hydrates the body easier and faster than other waters. The high level of  antioxidants in this water when it is fresh make it beneficial for both the inside of the body, and the outside.

Running Out of Energy? by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Running out of energy refers to a condition where you keep pushing your body to go, or you feel like you have no motivation to do anything. This is not a reference to making sure that you have eaten a sufficient quantity of food or need better goals. Low or no energy refers to the reduced function of the hormonal system to generate energy.

The job of the hormonal system is to activate your entire body and keep it going all day. A normally functioning hormonal system would enable you to easily jump out of bed in the morning. How many of you have to drag your body out of bed and get a stimulant like a cup of coffee in order to function? If you are tired in the morning and/or need caffeine to get going, your hormones are not working well.

If you experience fatigue after lunch or midday, or reach for something sweet to eat to get some energy, your hormones are not functioning normally. Your hormonal system should be providing your body with energy all day, and allow you to relax and sleep at night. If you are having any difficulty getting to sleep, staying asleep or waking up frequently during the night, your hormonal system is out of balance.

In addition to fatigue, the other indicators of a hormonal system that needs help include, sugar and/or salt cravings, weight gain, pain, hair thinning or loss, cold hands and feet and feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Stress is one of the major reasons that the hormonal system fails to do its job.

Too much stress can play havoc with the hormonal system. Ongoing or chronic stress adversely affects your ability to make the hormones needed for daily function. The stress response of the body burns out over time causing fatigue, insomnia, altered mood, lack of motivation, poor digestion, decreased sex drive, irritability, depression, sugar cravings, chronic pain, inability to stay asleep, osteoporosis, weight gain, and more symptoms.

There is a natural solution to help repair hormonal imbalance regardless of the stage of hormonal function your body is in. Various alternative approaches to repairing hormonal imbalances range from dietary and lifestyle changes to natural hormonal support. Consult a holistic wellness physician to find out more about your hormones, what stage of hormonal function your body is in, and what can be done to rejuvenate your energy.

If you feel that you are dragging your body around or have difficulty getting motivated  there is a natural solution available.

Real Sweets for Your Sweetie by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Sweets are often given to show others how much we care about them.  Show your affection by giving the gift of sweets with real ingredients. There are many different types of sweeteners available today, from natural to man-made synthetics.

Most processed foods now contain some form of sweetener. Corn is used to make sweeteners because it is cheaper and twice as sweet as table sugar. It is absorbed only 40% as quickly as glucose and causes only a modest rise in blood sugar. Corn has been altered to make high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), fructose, sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sweet & low, sucrose, malto-dextrin, poly dextrose, inositol, and saccharin. The average person today consumes 60 pounds of HFCS, which is approximately 19% of the average person's diet.

This man-made HFCS has replaced sugar as the sweetener in many beverages, candy and foods such as breads, cereals, breakfast bars, luncheon meats, yogurts, soups and condiments. Other man-made sugars to avoid include Sucralose or Splenda and Aspartame, also known as Amino-sweet or Nutra-sweet. Aspartame is a genetically engineered sugar that has been linked to several severe degenerative diseases.

Man-made sugars are causing health issues and creating hidden food allergies. The three most common food allergens are wheat/gluten, dairy and corn. Of the three food allergens, corn is the only food that is used to make sweeteners. For those with corn sensitivities, eating sweets made from corn can be the cause of many undesirable health issues.

Many digestive issues, migraines and headaches, brain fog, aches and pains, chronic sinus congestion and asthma/allergies are related to hidden food allergies. Simple non-invasive nutrition testing can help determine hidden food allergies and effectively aid in creating a program to successfully reduce many unwanted health conditions.

Show your sweetie how much you really care by giving real sweets. Look for sweet treats that are not made from corn with high fructose corn syrup or vanillin flavoring (artificial vanilla), or artificial sweeteners. Good sweets have real flavorings, real sugar and real ingredients. Most of the better  sweets are available in local health food stores and specialty shops.

If you feel that your body is craving sugar or has difficulty handling sugar, or you are not sure if you have a food allergy or sensitivity to sugar, there is a natural solution available to help find out how sugar is affecting your body.. Get checked by Dr. Sherry Yale, DC at TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia, MI if you are not sure if your body is handling sugar correcttly or not.  Dr Yale uses a simple, non-invasive method called NRT or Nutrition Response Testing to evaluate what your individual body needs are, and what fats your body wants.
