Done Hibernating? Spring is (almost) here, time to consider our hibernation at near end; Holidays and decreased activity can exact a toll on our support systems. Consider a detox (cleanse) program to clear the body of stored toxin and invigorate your immune system! I have personally tried many different programs, from easy to difficult (live near a bathroom!). ‘Designs for Health’ company has a great program, easy and effective, and won’t make you schedule your day around the bathroom. The Detoxification Support contains three top-notch products that aid liver clearing, protein repair (muscles & organs) and a gentle anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant combination. They are packaged into convenient packets for once-a-day use.

The price is $135 for 2 months supply (one month supply for a couple). If you have a history of illness in Winter or Spring, feel tired and uninspired, your support systems are likely overwhelmed and in need of repair. Remember, your health is your most valuable asset, so don’t delay; Now is the time for a cleanse program; plan a healthy start to the new year.

My Health Care practice is using a new blood test, along with our DNA and Epigenetic tests, to create a comprehensive health assessment, we call the GPS system (Genetic, Phenotype and Serotype). Together, they help to find what is working and not working with your diet, lifestyle and environment. Let me know what you think and if you would like more information for a personalized, truly wholistic assessment of your health.

It’s finally here!

The Touch for Health Class I have been promising you! Touch for Health is a simplified version of Applied Kinesiology, which is the essence of my practice for over 40 years. Touch for Health (TFH) was developed by my mentor, John Thie, DC, fifty years ago and is a system for everyone to enjoy practical skills to improve the health of yourself, families and friends. You will learn muscle testing, a form of biofeedback, to identify and correct imbalances in body systems as well as where and how to rebalance the body’s energy. TFH is an effective and simple technique to improve posture, performance, help ease pain and even fulfillment of goals in ways you may never have thought possible. This course will leave you with information and skills to optimize your health, long after I’m gone.

I will be offering two 4 hour ‘Touch for Health Introduction’ classes, offered from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, beginning Saturday, January 15 and repeated on January 29, 2022. A second class, entitled Top 10 Pain Relief Techniques will be offered January 22th from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM (and possibly again on February 5, 2022). We will meet at my office, where I can accommodate a maximum of 10 students per class, so please respond as soon as possible so I will have enough time to order materials. Each class will be offered for $38.00, which will include your workbook, and must be prepaid.

A comprehensive 60 hour course, entitled Touch for Health 1-4 will be divided into four weekends, will begin February 11-13, February 25-27, March 11-13 and March 25-27, 2022. This course will be initially offered for $250 per weekend, a 30% discount. So, mark your calendars and sign up early, as I can accommodate a maximum 10 students per class. For class registration or questions, contact me at PARKSDC@SBCGLOBAL.NET or 530-885-3154 and for more information about Touch for Health please go to: www.TouchforHealth.us.

Covid 19: Vitamin D3 Myths and Facts
By Erich Parks, Applied Kinesiologist, Nutritional Therapist

So much confusion exists surrounding the fear of contracting a disease, as well as its prevention and treatment. You may have heard that Vit D can treat Covid 19 virus, or that Vit D can boost immunity? So I'm compelled to relate facts and context to help you understand how our immune system responds to the "Right Stuff"!

A study of over 200 patients in Asia, by GrassrootsHealth, identified a direct correlation between Vit D levels and severity of infection. The mildest CV19 cases had highest levels of Vit D. Another study of almost 800 patients found a 7-fold higher risk of death if Vit D levels were below 30ng/ml and 12 fold higher if below 20 ng/ml! Please be aware that Vit D is an immune system modulator with "healthy levels" now considered to be 50-80+ ng/ml, so being just over 30 ng/ml will help protect you from Ricketts disease, but could leave you vulnerable to infection!

Research in the past 20 years focused on what DOSAGE will treat or prevent a disease, contributing to confusion about Vit D role in health. Ask the wrong question, get the wrong answer! The goal of GOOD research would be to attain a certain level of Vit D (measured as 2(OH)D), and see how that level affected immune response. Unfortunately, the levels of Vit D that are RDA recommended are still based on a level needed to prevent Ricketts, a disease resulting from poor calcium intake or absorption. Ricketts is almost unheard of in the US, yet the RDA remains fixed too low, while the recommendation for a "healthy level" doesn't reflect current research that supports the immune system most benefits at a level between 50-80ng/ml.

So, besides helping to prevent Ricketts disease, Vit D provides many benefits to immune function, protecting against respiratory disease and viral infections. Recall that the most important factor is the Blood Levels of Vit D, not the daily dose. The literature points to an optimal range between 50-80ng/ml. Based on the Archives of Internal Medicine, 75% of adults are below 30 ng/ml and 90% are below 40 ng/ml! Also, as we age, we lose some ability to synthesize Vit D from sun exposure. Supplementing Vit D may be necessary for some, but you need a blood test to know!

Want to get tested? You can participate in the GrassrootsHealth personalized nutrition project, which includes a Vit D test kit, or you can request your yearly exam with your physician or with me, to include the Vit D test. A real good time for the test would be in October, since you will not get much Vit D from the sun again until May. What you have stored from the summer of sun exposure will have to sustain you until Spring. Ever wonder why more colds and flu happen in Winter and Spring? It’s because depleted and low Vit D stores lead to an ineffective immune response!

If you have (or are) elderly in your family, make sure they get this information; it could literally save their life. Thanks for listnin’ and sharin’!
