Like most other functions of the body, fat is stored in cells called adipocytes. Humans increase the number they have as they grow into adults. With proper diet, they usually do not gain more. Your body sheds about 10% of its adipocytes every year but it replaces them as well. By functional nature, fat cells are not bad but they have an incredible ability to store fatty tissue by expanding. Science is showing us that if you reach their capacity, the body will begin to produce more.

The simple solution for many who go way overweight is surgery. Liposuction is seen as a way to suck out fat cells. But if you don’t change your diet, your body can produce more adipocytes and start all over.

Another common solution is to get gastric bypass to decrease stomach capacity. Eating fatty foods will still make you fat, it will just take longer. Like always, much of the medical industry is looking for immediate results and billable surgeries. These strategies statistically don’t work well. Honest studies show that liposuction is not only ineffective but dangerous and causes your body to grow fat cells elsewhere. Gastric bypass is definitely more effective but countless people have voided its purpose by continuing a similar diet.

So what’s the lie? Fat and food need removed from you. That’s the lie! God gave us the earth and all that was in it. He intended for us to partake of all the earth provides in wisdom and good measure, never in excess. Why do you think that one of the deadly sins is gluttony? Because you are misusing the fruit of the earth, taking more than you need, and abusing the body you were given.

The solution is not to lose fat cells. The solution is to use them appropriately. Our nomadic ancestors did not have walmart. They ate from the crops and flocks, probably one or two meals per day. Our bodies simply aren’t designed to take in this much. They also were designed to eat fruits and grains and some meats. Sugar, alcohol, and spices – these were never intended for regular use. The temptation is the taste and the feeling.

Eat better. That’s your weight control plan. Cut out sugars, high salt content. Despite your religious beliefs or political standing, the quickest way to a beer belly is… beer! Short term fixes like surgery basically mean you have no long term commitment. Fat cells are natural, growing them is unnatural.

Uh, what’s a probiotic? That’s probably what many people say in their head but don’t admit out loud. That’s ok, let’s talk about it.

It may be a little weird to think about bit you are a host of millions of other organisms. While your body is made of cells created by you, that’s not the only resident.

Skin can often have bacterias on it, even if you wash thoroughly. Hair is often visited by mites, especially when you sleep. Heck, the average person swallows a few live bugs in their lifetime without knowing it.

Don’t freak out. Many of the organisms we coexist with on earth are God given helpers, providing services our body can’t do. Ok, eating bugs has no long term value. One very important resident in our bodies are the organisms that live in our digestive tracts. Good organisms = Probiotics. It’s a pretty simple definition when you think about it.

The problem in our modern world is that processed, filtered food kills a lot of what we used to bring into our bodies. A high emphasis on antibiotics has also been stripping our body of otherwise welcome visitors.

So what’s the big deal? What do probiotics actually do? They break down chemicals in your digestive tract, attack harmful bacteria, promote immune health, improve maternal organ health, and can even help with obesity. Scientists are still learning about all the benefits.

As we said, our food and medicine have been eliminating this healthy symbiosis. Regain probiotics through a diet of organic foods. Also try PB8.

According to studies, around 35% of Americans are obese making us one of the most overweight countries in the world. Obesity is measured by having a body mass index (BMI) of over 30. The additional health costs per person are over $1400 per year. Is candy and coke really worth that cost?

There’s many causes contributing to our increased weight. First world countries with growing white collar jobs almost always grow their waistlines alongside their wallets. Your employment’s activity level can have a major effect on weight and most Americans sit when they work. While that’s a contributing factor, it’s not the major cause.

There’s many positive effects of capitalism, but there’s always side effects to good things. Less is not more when it comes to the food industry. While the notion of serving size is beneficial, it doesn’t help when the limits are increased. Restaurants won’t cut back half the food to what you should eat. They are financially incentivized to increase portions, not to mention that many foods have become cheaper due to the mechanization, sterilization, and globalization of our food supply.

People are always talking about losing weight. There’s thousands of diets and exercise plans and even some “quick fix” drugs or surgeries. Yet, if these were effective, why are 35% of us spilling over the sides of our pants??

While there is in some (less than you think) cases were genetics predisposes an individual to weight gain, most of us have full control over what shows up on that scale in the morning. Here’s a quick fix. Eat more vegetables, the healthiest populations of people eat more than the sicker populations. Eat slower and less. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to know it’s full! By then, most Americans are on dessert! Slow down and enjoy the taste. You’ll be surprised how good food can taste when you take time to enjoy the sensation rather than stuffing your face frantically. Funny enough, fast food commercials show people slowly biting and smiling and enjoying food. That’s how you should look, just replace the Big Mac with an apple or carrot.

Do you understand what a food coma is? It’s your body’s EMERGENCY mode. Your wonderful, God-given vessel has a mechanism to store food in times of scarcity. If you eat a lot and fast, your body thinks you are in danger and triggers chemicals to store the food. That weird tiredness is all the excess blood in your body rushing to your stomach to deal with impending doom! Except you are fine and you intend to eat 5 hours later. STOP THAT!

Eat better, slower, and lesser. I believe that would solve 80% of our obesity problems. Don’t take for granted the great wealth God has blessed you with, enjoy his bounty!

When you hear that someone has cancer, what is the immediate treatment that you think of? Chemotherapy, right? It’s been around for almost 50 years so surely it’s been getting better. Wrong.

To first understand the lie, you need to comprehend the science. Chemotherapy claims that it attacks fast growing cancer cells. It does. Because it attacks ALL cells. People who take chemo also experience a loss in red and white blood cells, platelets, hair cells, and tissue. It’s literally poison!

The chemical treatment has had very few alterations since its initial use and has created the stigma that cancer patients must wither into nearly dead, hairless and miserable pale creatures. Has anyone stopped to ask, what’s really killing these people?

Did you know that chemo is technically carcinogenic? That means it can cause cancer elsewhere in the body! Have you ever wondered about those cases where they said “the cancer spread”? How does cancer jump from the breasts and into a non-adjacent organ? Does cancer have an unknown teleporting ability or is chemo helping cause more cancer.

In 2004, The Journal of Clinical Oncology published “The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies.” It was a 14 year study of over 150,000 cancer patients. Only 3000 could claim survival due to chemotherapy. That’s a success rate of only 3%.

Now to be fair, some cancers did respond better to chemo. Testicular and and Hodgkins Disease had around 30-40% attribution to chemo. But the majority of people are not contracting these cancers.

But even with those high numbers, would you hire a lawyer that only won 30% of his cases? Would you buy a car that only passed 30% of the safety tests? Would you make an investment that only had a 30% chance of positive return?

So why has it stayed? If it’s so ineffective, why keep prescribing it? The answer may infuriate you. It makes me mad.

Would it bother you if you went to the doctor and you found out he made money on the prescriptions he wrote to you? What if you didn’t even need them. That’s illegal right? It is… in most cases but chemo.

You see… oncologists buy and resell chemotherapy drugs. That’s how they make money if they are not on a fixed salary. Studies back up these doctors admitting they make cold hard cash on chemo.

So what can you do? You call us. We’ve got some alternative solutions that don’t involve poisoning you. I want to talk to you in person about successes we’ve seen but can’t say too much because chemo is a big business, backed by the FDA and a $153 billion dollar revenue.

I’m sure you’ve heard of words like organic, GMO, pesticide, and MSG. You may or may not believe that your diet is compromised. You might even feel fed up with hearing about it and simply don’t care.  That’s the worst mistake you can make.

Humans have been eating food since the fruit pluck from the tree of knowledge. Ironically we seem to know less and less about what we eat. While you may not get kicked out of a paradise for eating any particular food, your choices will affect your quality of life.

A little more than 10 years ago, professors in Texas reported “reliable declines” in the nutrients in our food supply. We are simply growing more than our soil can provide. Some of these drops have exceeded 30% of the original content- and that’s fresh food like fruits and vegetables! After all the process our food goes through, what amount of nutrients are even left. 

Food companies won’t tell you this but most of the vitamins and minerals you see on the Nutrition Facts are synthetic! Yes, folks, the food you are eating has almost no natural nutrients by the time it eats your table. If it comes in a box or bag, its main contents tend to be highly chemical- hard starch, sugar variations, and preservatives.

Think about it. Put a carrot you grow outside on the ground. Dump a can of carrots next to it. See which one lasts longer. But also notice what the bugs go for first- the canned food! It’s sweet, it smells good, it’s soft and chewy.  All the things a carrot shouldn’t be!

To feed our food supply needs and the massive waste we create, alterations to food production were made. There’s no law to tell you what those alterations are. Most of us are not chemists so we can’t even read the Nutrition Facts. 

The system is broken. What can you do? I’m not asking you to go all hippie on us and move out to the wilderness but do a few smart things. Shop organic when possible and affordable. Shop local for your fruit and vegetables. Even if they use some pesticides, it’s probably far less than the large farming conglomorates. Avoid frozen, microwaved foods. Limit or eliminate sugary drinks. Drink more water and take supplements. I’m not asking you to change your life, just change your food supply. I guarantee you will feel better, God bless you!

What is Vitamin D3?

It’s scientific name is cholecalciferol. It is made naturally in the body when exposed to sunlight, not to be confused with photosynthesis! It can also be consumed in fatty fish naturally or also shows up artificially placed in other foods. It’s a prohormone, meaning it facilitates the hormones in your body.

What exactly does it do though?

D3 is required for the regulation of calcium and phosphorous in the body, heavily influencing the growth and maintenance of your bone and marrow structures. D3 helps transfer phosphate into the body and then calcium adjusts conversely. Many people are unaware that phosphate is a major component of bones, nerves, and muscles as calcium seems to get more attention.

What are the benefits?

Well, if you live where there’s no sun, you get deficiencies or even rickets as a child. But most of us do not face those problems. Again, D3 helps with the development of structural body tissues but can also help blood flow or psoriasis. What you may not know is that studies have linked healthy D3 levels with benefits of cancer prevention.

What does it have to do with cancer?

Within studies of rats, scientists observed that appropriate D3 levels promoted better cell differentiation, decreased cancer cell growth, and even reduced tumor blood vessel growth. Numerous studies have shown noticeable reduction in colorectal cancer. Varied results have also manifested for breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Again, it is partly attributable to D3 promoting hormonal balance and healthy levels of calcium and phosphate.

How do I get Vitamin D3?

Make sure you get sun exposure, that’s a very effective way, and cheap too! However, too much sun can be harmful and so supplementing our indoor lives with D5000 is another way to get the D3 that you need, available here at NHC!

It sure feels like we are hearing more and more about cancer. I feel like I know more and more people getting it. While the causes may not be easy to pin down, there’s a single truth you have to understand. Cancer treatment is a thriving, profitable business. Billions of dollars are made in treating those who contract cancer, emptying their financial reserves or leeching from insurance coffers. Don’t believe me? Here’s some facts:

• National expenditures for cancer care in the United States totaled nearly $125 billion in 2010 and could reach $156 billion in 2020.
• In 2016, an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 595,690 people will die from the disease.
• The number of people living beyond a cancer diagnosis reached nearly 14.5 million in 2014 and is expected to rise to almost 19 million by 2024.
• Approximately 39.6% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes (based on 2010-2012 data).
• Cancer is expected to increase 57% worldwide in the next 20 years.

They are literally banking on you getting some kind of cancer.  You know what stats are hard to find.  How many people were cured of cancer? How much money is spent on curing cancer? That’s not the priority. Like any other business, you need a supply of customers. Man, do they have one!

Still not convinced folks?

Even NBC is waking up to our harsh reality. Oncologists (cancer doctors) make money directly off the sales of chemotherapy. Read the article! Do you think these doctors want to give up their second home in the Keys or the three BMWs? Nope. They sure don’t.

It’s 2017 and the FDA just got around to approving a gene therapy treatment for cancer, even though that science has been around for a decade. The FDA’s system is bureaucratic and biased against cures. There’s plenty of times they prevented the progress of drugs. Read here and here.

So what do we do about it? Well, you sure don’t want to twiddle your thumbs and wait for the cure. You need to change your diet and exercise. Take MSM+C to and ZEOLITE to keep your body strong! Share this article with friends and tell them to not trust the medical industry to heal them!

Because they don’t want a cure. What’s the profit in good health? How do you fill hospitals if people aren’t sick? How do you bill insurance if no one needs it? How do you pay doctors and hospital CEOs millions with a cure? You don’t because they don’t want a cure.

The FDA is a business. It has employees. It has goals.  It has backers. It’s original intentions were good. In the 1930s, several drugs on the market had killed people. On drug used diethylene glycol to dissolve the medicine into liquid form. Due to this concoction, over 100 people died. This wasn’t the first time so it became obvious that something needed to be done.

As with most government programs, it grew far past the original intent and is in many ways a governing body of its own with very few people to answer to. The cost of developing medicine has become astronomical. The FDA now requires 3 clinical tests that cost about $100 million each and the average new drug costs a total of $2.6 Billion. Do you know what I call that? Barrier to entry.

The FDA has full power to invoke fines, confiscate property, and even imprison people. There’s very few agencies besides the FBI and CIA that can do such things.

Money trails? More like money highways! In a recent three year period, drug companies spent $487 million in lobbying and insurance companies spent $480 million. Do you think anyone in those groups were lobbying for a cure?

In a business as small as NHC which serves only a few thousand per year (we’d love your help growing that) I’ve had more than my fair share of run-ins with the FDA. They are hawks and will pounce on anyone that steps out of the line, even if it’s in a positive direction.

Yes, the odds do sound like they are stacked against us but there’s plenty of hope folks. Supplementation and good diet can do wonders for your body. God has created so many minerals on this earth, many of which even the FDA can’t hope to outlaw. Your miraculous body is made of many materials and modern diets simply lack the sustainment it needs. Simple solutions like MSM+C can help you reinvigorate your body.

The truth shall set you free. We may not get to cure all our ills in this life but I promise there’s peace coming to those that seek the truth.

Colitis and diverticulitis are both inflammations of the intestines. They have similar sympotoms but colitis is more severe. It’s best not to self diagnose this one so see a medical professional if the following seems familiar.

The abdominal pain caused by these may be constant or fluctuate. Colitis feels like the entire area while diverticulitis concentrates in the left. Bloating is another common symptom, feeling as if air is in your bowels. Diarrhea, bloody stool, fever, chills, dehydration, and nausea are other reported symptoms.

Basically, it sucks. The medical profession shrugs their shoulders at the exact cause of this problem, though many believe that low-fiber diets can play a role in at least exacerbating the issues. Highly refined, processed foods or lack of water (instead of soda) will make it worse. As with many other blog posts before, we’re back to the same point- eat better!

Colitis and diverticulitis may very well be caused by genetic issues but there’s no ruling out that the American diet has not caused some either. God made our bodies to process breads, fruits, vegetables, and meat (in measure not mass). Our bodies were not designed to eat chemically enhanced and processed foods and some intestines are not as hardy to take the abuse.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may have colitis and diverticulitis. Consult a doctor if they persist but here’s our advice. First, eat higher fiber and less processed foods. Second, take MSM+C. It will reduce your intestinal inflammation, allowing your body to pump in its healing elements. Third, take our PH Plus to decrease your body’s acidity. Not to scare you but processed foods are highly acidic (processed basically means predigested and preserved). High acidic levels will damage your intestines. Fourth, we have some priobiotics and enzymes available to supplement these positive gains and assist in healthier digestion.

If you eat something and your stomach feels upset, take that as a hint- Follow your gut!

What is it?

The walls of your intestines are layers of muscle that contract and relax at a regular pace to move food from your stomach throughout your intestinal tract and all the way to the bathroom. If you have irritable bowel syndrome, these contractions might be too stronge and last longer than they should. This irregular rhythm can cause gas, bloating and diarrhea.

What causes it?

Biologically, an abnormality in your gastrointestinal nervous system may cause you to experience discomfort when your intestines stretch from waste processing. Badly communicated signals between the brain and the intestines can cause your body overreact to the changes in an otherwise normal digestive process.

Other causes may include food allergies, stress, hormones, or other illness. But the cause that is most likely a contributor to many people’s discomfort is diet. Gallons of sugary water, highly processed box and can food, simmered greasy fast food, sticky candy, alcohol and cigarettes: these are major contributors to upset stomachs. Notice I didn’t say IBS.

Because most people don’t have IBS! At least not the debilitating, possibly hereditary kind that some experience. Those who have full blown cases of IBS probably do need medical help. But most of us have what I like to call voluntary IBS.

How do I stop it?

The human body was not made to consume the gross, before-mentioned foods and substances. It’s like putting diesel in a gas engine and expecting it to work fine. Change your diet and exercise! Do activities that reduce your stress.

Additional help while you calm your tummy is available at NHC. To reduce inflammation and contractions, we suggest MSM+C as sulfur can help calm your intestinal nerves. PH Plus will balance out your body’s acidity. We also carry probiotics and digestive enzymes to help your body balance out other chemicals.

Stomach issues can be resolved. We’ve even had people diagnosed with IBS reduce or even lose their symptoms after using a daily regimen of our products. God bless!
