The Dangers of Heavy Metal Toxicity
Large amounts of metals in the system are dangerous because heavy metals fight with components in cells, like enzymes and proteins. These components are crucial in helping organs function. The result of organs being unable to perform their duties due to heavy metals can result in severe symptoms of heavy metal poisoning that can be life-threatening without treatment. But they can be detoxed!! Give us a call and see how we can help

I have been researching glutathione and am astonished by all the great benefits it can provide. Glutathione is a substance that is made in the body but is depleted over time due to stress and toxic exposure. All chronic diseases are caused by oxidative stress overload. Glutathione IV can help stop the progression of chronic diseases and sometimes even reverse them.



What is glutathione? Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced in the body made up of three amino acids glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. Glutathione aids in the prevention of chronic diseases by removing and protecting the body from harmful chemicals, toxins, stress, poor food quality, alcohol, and environmental toxins.
Glutathione decreases with age. As we age, and are exposed to more harmful chemicals our glutathione decreases resulting in oxidative stress overload. This is when chronic diseases start to occur.
Glutathione IV benefits:
• Increased immune response
• Reduces pain and inflammation
• Increased energy levels
• Increased detoxification
• Reduces unwanted body fat
• Slows down signs of aging
• Liver detoxification
• Preventing cancer progression
• Improves insulin sensitivity
• Reduces symptoms of autoimmune disorders
• Reduces symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
We prefer the IV form. It is more effective. Call us for an appointment!

Consumer Reports (CR), a nonprofit organization that conducts independent product testing and research, recently tested a wide range of different chocolate products to see which ones contain higher levels of toxic heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Because there are currently no federal limits for the amount of lead and cadmium most foods can contain, CR measured each product against California's maximum allowable dose levels (MADL) for lead and cadmium in food, which it described as "the most protective available." The state's MADL for lead is 0.5 micrograms per day.The CR found that one serving of Nestlé's Rich Milk Chocolate Flavor Hot Cocoa Mix contained 108% of the amount of lead permitted under California's limit, while Trader Joe's Organic Hot Cocoa Mix contained 112%. Starbucks' Classic Hot Cocoa contained 159%, while Great Value's Milk Chocolate Flavor Hot Cocoa Mix was the highest of all with 345% .

Why do I feel sleepy after eating sugar?
High sugar consumption inhibits the production of Orexin, which is a chemical in your brain that stimulates the feeling of being awake. The more sugar you eat, the more sleepy you will feel. The more sugar you consume, the more that it will affect your body’s ability to get in some quality sleep. While you sleep, your body goes through different levels of deep rest, and the most rejuvenating level is called rapid eye movement sleep (REM). The more sugar you have before bed, the less of a chance you have of staying in deep Rapid Eye movement sleep. Even if you do not fully wake up during the night, it can pull you out of REM sleep, affecting the sensations of feeling well-rested in the morning

How Do Hormone Levels Affect Lifestyle?

Weight gain
Low libido and sexual dysfunction
Sleep issues, including insomnia
Memory loss and brain fog
Vaginal dryness
Fatigue
Sleep disruption can have a serious effect on our abilities to exercise, eat properly, maintain healthy relationships, and attend to work functions. The sexual aspect of these symptoms can greatly affect self-esteem, and also take a toll on relationships. We can help. Give us a call.

Everybody needs to relax. Stress is the number one cause of the problems we have in our bodies. The best way to relax is to breath. How do you do it you ask? Well sit up straight. Hold your jaw relaxed but keep the lips closed. The teeth don’t have to be touching if this is comfortable to you but the lips are closed. Put the tip of the tongue on the back side of the top teeth. Breathe in through the nose for a count of 4. Hold it for a count of 7 then exhale through pursed lips as if you were blowing out candles. Do this for a count of 8. Yes you will make a whooshing noise doing this. Now this part is tough because you can blow out all the air by the count of 2. The point is to exhale slowly and more importantly you want to continue to almost force an exhale to the count of 8 to get all the air out. Now comes the last number. You do this at least 4 times. In fact you can do this for any period of time and as many times as you want. This whole action helps reduce physical and mental fatigue, improves oxygen concentrations, relaxes the mind, actually makes the diaphragm to push on the abdominal organs and massage them if you will improving their function and helps eliminate toxic CO2 waste. I know it sounds hokey, but give it a try. I bet you’ll be surprised and happy with the results.

That’s it folks. Simple, cheap and easy. It helps relieve stress and until I figure out how to get rid of stress in the first place, it works.
