Cardio Screen for You!
We are offering a heart screening on Thursday next week, the 26th of February. The machine that does this measures SEVEN conditions of your heart and arteries! This includes the circulation capabilities of your arteries, hardening and plaquing of the arteries, pumping capability of the largest chamber of the heart, true arterial age and abnormal heart rhythm. It only takes a few minutes, is non-invasive and is only $40! Interestingly, it detects artificial vaso-dilation from drugs and synthetic vitamins, also. It's called the Meridian and I'm not aware of it being used at hospitals. It is FDA approved!
We'll give you the results and provide specific nutrition to improve the health of your heart and arteries. We will re-test in one month intervals to see changes. Over the course of four months, we are looking for positive changes in heart health. I've have not seen a simpler, cheaper and more effective way to get these factors tested. You can take the results to your medical doctor if you'd like.
Call the office at 734-302-7575 to set up a time to get tested. We are accepting appointments on the 26th from 9 am and 6pm. If you have any high blood pressure, arterial blockages, skipped beats or if you have ever been treated for a heart or artery condition, then contact us to get tested. Email back or call us if you have specific questions.

Choose your breakfast food wisely
People often ask us, what type of cereal should I eat?
In a presentation given by Sally Fallon entitled "Dirty Secrets of the Food Processing Industry" she outlines the problems with Industrial Processing of foods. Industrial processing, which is so prevalent in our foods today, destroys the nutrients in food and makes digestion difficult. Also, the processing of foods often uses products such as sugar, white flour, hydrogenated oils, additives, and synthetic vitamins.
Sally Fallon says, "Dry breakfast cereals are produced by a process called extrusion. Cereal makers first create a slurry of the grains and then put them in a machine called an extruder. The grains are forced out of a little hole at high temperature and pressure...A blade slices off each little flake or shape, which is then carried past a nozzle and sprayed with a coating of oil and sugar to seal off the cereal from the ravages of milk and to give it crunch.
In his book Fighting the Food Giants, Paul Stitt tells us that the extrusion process used for these cereals destroys most of the nutrients in the grains. It destroys the fatty acids, it even destroys the chemical vitamins that are added at the end. The amino acids are rendered very toxic by this process...This is how all the boxed cereals are made, even the ones sold in the health food stores. They are all made the same way and mostly in the same factories. All dry cereals that come in boxes are extruded cereals." It's best to eat no cereals.
So, what should you eat for breakfast? The same type of foods you eat at your other meals. Whole, natural foods. Fresh vegetables and fruit, cheese, eggs, yogurt (plain, add some honey to flavor if needed), nuts or nut butters, and animal proteins (beef or pork or chicken products depending on your preference, preferably free-range, grass fed, nitrate-free, etc.). Also, protein shakes can be a quick, easy breakfast on occasion.

Pass It On My joint pain was pretty bad and I had back pain constantly. Now, I can be on my feet walking and standing with no noticeable discomfort. Back pain and pain in my heels have almost totally disappeared. I was also chronically constipated. That has improved by about 50%. My laxative use has been cut in half. I am sleeping better at night also.
