1. Product I love…
The best thing you can do to fight flu’s, colds, and infection is maximize your health through healthy lifestyle choices. But even healthy people will get sick on occasion. If I feel like I’m getting run down, have a scratchy or sore throat, or feel like I’m getting sick in any way, the first thing I do is get my spine checked and get adjusted. This maximizes my nervous system function and boosts my immune system. The second thing I do is use colloidal silver. Silver has been used since the days of Hippocrates. It is a powerful antimicrobial and was used before the discovery of antibiotics. It is used in wound clinics to help prevent infection, used in workout clothing to prevent bacteria growth, used in household and industrial cleaning products, and is ingested orally in liquid form to help knock out bacteria, viruses, and some fungi. I have used it for many years as an oral spray and was excited when I found it in a nasal spray. I feel the key is to use it as soon as you feel anything coming on. I will use it on my busier days in the office this time of year, as I am exposed to all kinds of microbes as a preventative. I use it on cuts, scrapes, and burns to help prevent infection and maximize healing. Below is a pic of the throat and nasal spray. (My initials are on the nasal spray because everyone in my house has their own.) You can get it at my office or online. You can find negative info on it online, but I can tell you from many years of experience that it is a phenomenal product. It is safe, inexpensive, very effective, and lasts a long time.
2. A surprising (but pleasant) fact…
I just finished listening to the audiobook, The Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Can Rule Us and How We Can Rule It. It had a lot of good data. One thing that stood out, and I have heard it from several sources in the past couple years, is that we are living in the LEAST violent time in history. I know what you are thinking… because I thought the same thing… NO WAY! But it appears to be true… you are safer right now, in regards to having a violent crime committed against you, than ever before in history. Why doesn’t it seem like it? Because there is so much news, almost all focused on crime, hate, and fear, and we hear more about it. So… rest easy this weekend knowing you are living in safer times.
3. Another anniversary…
I recently wrote a blog about it being the 22nd anniversary of my practice. Well, it is my 1st anniversary for this website and these Friday’s Findings. Wow… that went fast! I love doing them, and I feel it is a great way to stay connected with you and give you current, relevant, and personal information that hopefully helps you on your wellness journey. Your positive feedback has been greatly appreciated. A few of my favorite Friday’s Findings this past year were… my daughter and I skydiving for her 18th birthday (06/07/19)… the Clean Fifteen and the Dirty Dozen, which are lists put out by EWG showing the best and worst fruits and veggies in regards to pesticides (09/27/19)… and that short video from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (worth clicking here to watch right now!) where he talks about the “the best thing that never happened.” (04/12/19). Thanks again for all the positive feedback, and I’m looking forward to another year of doing these Friday’s Findings. Oh… and please pass them along and encourage friends and family to subscribe. THANK YOU!!!
