Have you ever wondered why there’s no “flu season” in tropical climates? There are multiple easily modifiable environmental factors that you can use to your advantage.
* Humidity: Consistently humid conditions make airborne viral transmission more difficult in many cases. Hence, there’s no cyclical flu surge like we experience here in Texas. When everyone goes indoors, turns on the heat and the air gets dry…BOOM! We have the perfect conditions for the spread of illness. The ideal indoor humidity for decreased viral transmission is 30-60%. Personally, I try to keep our home at about 45% humidity. You can use diffusers, humidifiers and simmer pots to quickly and easily increase the humidity in your home.
* Temperature: Maintain indoor temps in a comfortable range in conjunction with ideal humidity. Cool indoor temperatures foster a friendly environment for heat sensitive viruses such as Influenza and they spread more easily. Making your home too warm is a set up for mold. You need it to be like Baby Bear's porridge..."just right".
* UV light: The sun really is a disinfectant! Open your windows and doors and get outside!

Strep throat
True or False: All sore throats are strep. ❌ False! Viral sore throats often come with runny noses, especially this time of year. Strep usually presents with sudden throat pain, fever, and sometimes GI upset, depending on the patient's age. It's actually rare to see symptomatic Strep in our youngest patients. If your child’s symptoms have you wondering, we can run a quick test and guide you through care that supports the whole body. 🌿💛
Keep thriving,
Jason

Patients often go to urgent care seeking a lower visit price but end up scheduling a second opinion with their primary provider when they don't get the holistic help they need. The average urgent care cash pay price is the same or higher than just seeing your holistic primary care provider first. Did you know that Michelle and Jana have a combined nearly 40 years of ICU experience? Did you know that Jason single handedly served record numbers of patients in urgent cares for years? Not only are your providers capable of handling illness in the office, but they are equipped to do so with the truly holistic manner you deserve. As always, if you’re unsure what to do in a certain situation, reach out and we will help you.

Michelle had a great meeting yesterday with Dr. Ardis of The Dr. Ardis Show and Nature Wins and Priscilla A. Romans of Graith Care, LLC and Graith Healing Spa to plan the completion or our project this year!! So many great things in the works.

Everyone should try out Hydration Complete by Dr. Ardis. It’s a great product and great tasting. It’s a new product and Michelle was excited to try it out!!

It's the height of "sick season" so let's talk about urgent care. There are absolutely times when the use of urgent care is appropriate. They serve to fill the gaps on nights, weekends and holidays or if you're unable to make it to the office. They can also offer closure of minor lacerations, etc. They cannot treat severe illness/respiratory distress or administer IV fluids. They are also not a resource for holistic care and will usually have little to nothing to offer in cases of mild viral illness. Holistic providers really shine in these situations. We have a variety of effective remedies for illness. We also very often see patients after visits to urgent care who were given antibiotics for an “ear infection” when they actually had a viral upper respiratory illness without ear infection. Over prescribing of antibiotics is the leading cause of antibiotic resistance and can lead to GI upset, gut imbalance and immune system disruption. Aren’t these the very things we want to avoid? If you’re unsure how to handle a situation, reach out to your child’s provider and we will guide you on the best course of action.

With the changing tides in medicine these days, you may be wondering how to go about choosing your child's healthcare provider. Start with asking yourself, what is important to you? It is crucial that your provider is not just "accommodating" but truly knowledgeable in those areas in which you are exercising your parental rights. If you plan to decline certain interventions, your child's provider should be informed in that area and not only aligned with your choices, but have a thorough knowledge on alternative treatments. You will never be bullied or intimidated in our office. We provide a truly holistic refuge from the chaos of conventional medicine, not just a place where they “let” you make certain choices.

It's almost the weekend and next week is Christmas. Don't end up in urgent care or the ER if your kiddo gets croup! It's going around and I'm seeing lots of it in the office. We're here to guide you but it helps to be prepared in advance! Do you have a nebulizer? Do you have the croup remedies on hand? Do you know what to do with them? Don't let croup catch you off guard!
Stay well,
Jana
