Season of Germs

Many people think that with school starting and kids being exposed to other kids, that it’s natural to come down with every germ that comes by. The truth is that it is normal to get sick with a nice good fever about once a year. If you or your child is getting sick more often than that, then perhaps there is an immune issue that needs to be addressed. Perhaps you or your child is consuming sugar, which lowers the immune system by 50% for 5-7 hours. Having sugar cereal for breakfast, soda with lunch, and ice cream for dessert after dinner is a recipe for a snotty season. Fortunately, you can remove the items above and sail through this germ-fest unscathed.

What, you don’t need 6 cups of coffee anymore for energy?

As you know, our soil has been farmed now for hundreds of years, and is depleted in minerals. You also know that we don’t let our rivers flood as often as they naturally would because homes are in the floodplain and people could get hurt. This prevents the soil from having its nutrient stores replenished. 

If you take a multivitamin, you will get a handful of minerals, like calcium, zinc, magnesium, copper, and more. Baby formula only has a handful of minerals. But did you know that gold, silver, and others actually perform vital functions in the body? Minerals from the periodic table activate enzymatic process. These are processes that control every action in the body, like protecting our skin integrity to prevent wrinkles, keeping our blood vessels intact to prevent aneurysm . These are both functions of copper. And, there’s actually silver in seafood. Who knew? Even elements that we really don’t hear about have a function in the body. The mineral product called Plant Derived Minerals has 77 minerals in the form that our body can utilize. That’s why it’s called ‘plant derived’.

One of my clients has been taking Plant Derived Minerals for only a week now. She says:

“The minerals are working! I feel so much better. I couldn’t believe it! I can really tell the difference”. LV, Green Lane, PA

“It’s 3pm and I haven’t had one of my 6 cups of coffee yet. I went away this weekend (without my minerals) and I really missed them.” CG, Centre Valley, PA

Try one bottle yourself and you will probably notice a significant difference, especially in energy. I hope this helps in your journey to your best self.

Sun exposure

Many people are now afraid of the sun and think it causes skin cancer. That is not totally correct. There may be an increased risk for skin cancer in people who have had a severe burn, especially when they were younger. This does not apply for the casual sunbather who protects himself after good sun exposure of 20 minutes between 10 and 2. In fact, vitamin D DEFICIENCY is associated with skin cancer. Vitamin D can help skin issues like psoriasis or pityriasis rosea and is sometimes prescribed in a a cream for those conditions. Vitamin D can help prevent sunburns.

Vitamin D and bathing

It has been reported that bathing can influence your vitamin D levels. Humans were not made to bathe every day, at least not with soap. Vitamin D is made from cholesterol, which is fat-soluble. This means that it will dissolve in soap but not plain water. Vitamin D takes 24 to 48 hours to be made from cholesterol in the skin. Therefore, after sun exposure, do not wash sun-exposed parts with soap for 24-48 hours afterwards. That doesn’t mean don’t bathe, just don’t wash with soap where the sun DOES shine.

Vitamin D continued

How long do you need to be out in the sun? You should be out in the sun between 10am and 2pm only until your skin turns pink. Longer than that and you could burn, but less than that and you will be deficient in vitamin D unless you supplement. You do not make vitamin D to any significant extent when your shadow is longer than you. It’s time for a ‘sun lunch’ outside!
