Can Vitamin K2 RESCUE your Blood Vessels? Read on to learn more.

Vitamin K2, which is a naturally occurring vitamin many fermented foods, has the ability to do the following:

1) Prevent Blood vessel BLEEDING. Accidental bumps, falls or more severe physical trauma can cause small blood vessels to rupture. If we don’t have enough Vitamin K, we can not clot the rupture soon enough and run the risk of excessive bleeding.

2) Reverse stiff or CALCIFIED blood vessels. Some of the current literature is showing that Vitamin K2 can promote decalcification of blood vessels which can REDUCE blood pressure and increase LONGEVITY.

Vitamin K2 supplementation can be an extremely valuable support for those actively healing from Microbial infections of the arteries and veins.

Can we AVOID Dementia as we age?

A number of factors may contribute towards the development of dementia or LOSS of memory. Here are a few potential causes:

1) Accumulation of HEAVY METALS : It is extremely difficult to avoid exposure to heavy metals on a day-to-day basis. They are present in our food, water and air supply. BUT,  if we promote a healthier gut flora, LIVER, and immune system, our bodies can combat this exposure and minimize the potential damages to our Nervous system tissues like the BRAIN!

2) Chronic INFECTIONS : There are thousands of microbes known to evade our immune system and fly under the radar. Regular Blood tests may not indicate that we have low grade or semi-DORMANT infections within the arteries or veins of our brain, or in our brain tissue (Click HERE for a journal article entitled: Infection of Fungi and Bacteria in Brain Tissue from Elderly Persons and Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease). 

3) Vitamin A deficiencies in our LIVER: Amyloid proteins accumulate in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. These proteins are thought to contribute to symptoms of dementia. Vitamin A has been shown to DECREASE these types of proteins, and slow the progression of this disease. *A major reason local areas of our body may not get enough of a specific nutrient is typically related to microbial infections, toxin depositions, or damages from other free-radical inducing compounds.

Contact your Holistic physician to stay on route with your health goals, and to minimize the chance of developing dementia as you age. For more information, feel free to contact us HERE.

3 ways to IMPROVE your LUNG health

1) Seek out a place that brings you HARMONY! When we are mentally or emotionally stressed, our tolerance levels become low…. which directly affects the LUNG meridian. Allow yourself to Heal and Recover in a nurturing and relaxing environment.

2) Small upward steps! The act of moving your body through space, and in an UPWARD direction challenges the Heart and LUNG meridians of the body more than flat land training. Finding a small near-by hill, or hiking a trail up the mountainside will stimulate LUNG meridian changes geared towards improving tolerance and overcoming challenges in LIFE.

3) What is ZAPPING your LUNG energy/Qi? Typical areas of the body that usually need assistance to support the Lungs include the Liver, Kidneys, Heart, and Adrenal glands. A large intestine fungal overgrowth, a liver with sluggish detox pathways, or a systemic Molybdenum deficiency could be contributing towards your lung problems.

Having trouble loosing FAT? The problem could be lurking in your lymphatic system…

Our lymphatic system plays a key role in removing toxic waste produced by our body, and it impacts FAT metabolism! Here are a few things you can do to improve the health of your lymphatic system and get LEANER!

1) Get your LIVER healthier! Eat in a way that makes you feel clear headed. Make sure you supply your body with adequate nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, and choline. Avoid alcohol in excess. The liver in return will process toxins, improve your fat metabolism, and create a new BODY for you!

2) Hidden microbial infection may occur in the liver, stomach, and LYMPHATIC system. SMART microbes like Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi the bacterial spirochete that causes Lyme disease) and various strains of fungi can HIDE from the immune system in the lymph. A healthy diet and proper exercise will never be enough to obtain optimal health, wellness, or normal weight, for those with detrimental (and possibly unknown) infections in their lymphatic system!

3) Spleen health also plays a critical role in LYMPHATIC health. The spleen helps to filter out various substances in the lymph too. In energetic medicine, our karma is reflected in the health of our spleen. Making good karmic choices and living in a balanced way can bring more vital energy to the spleen meridian, which can POSITIVELY impact the lymphatic meridian flow.

Contact your holistic physician today to see if you have HIDDEN lymphatic infections, require a liver focused healing protocol, or need pathogenic energies removed or reoriented from the spleen meridian!

Are you HEALING? Take a break from exercise please…

Whether you are Detoxifying your body from microbial infections or too many heavy metals, your body needs HORMONES and NEUROTRANSMITTERS to do so. Here are our recommendations to help Optimize your healing protocol.

1) Minimize or CEASE regular exercise other than walking and gentle movement until your Healing program is complete. Your body needs those energy reserves to focus on removing pathogens for now. Once you have successfully completed your healing program, re-introduce exercise to build yourself back up!

2) Lay FLAT whenever possible!! The adrenal glands and nervous system in general must work harder to pump blood against gravity when we are standing. Lie down for even a minute or two and give your body more opportunity to HEAL and recover.

3) ICE for a few minutes over the kidneys, spleen or LIVER. This can create a reflexive pump of FRESH blood and Nutrients to the organs that help detoxify! 

Check with your holistic physician too see if EXERCISE would benefit or hurt your current healing regime. For more information, contact us HERE.
