"I was having trouble with digestion. The remedies that usually worked for me . . . weren't working - even humor! I mentioned it to Dr. Saetre.  She did her magic on my hiatal hernia, which I didn't realize was there, and I immediately felt relief." 

         Linda Hutchinson, ha!

"With all of the shoveling this winter, my back and neck have been strained.  With regular chiropractic adjustments and massage at StillPointe, the discomfort has been relieved and I'm ready for the next snowfall."

"Chiropractic and CranioSacral Therapy have made a huge difference in my life.  I had migraines regularly that affected my day-to-day activities.  Now, I'm virtually pain free."

"I have a hectic lifestyle and battle high blood pressure.  I find that regular massage therapy sessions keep me healthy and happy."

SERVICE AND PRODUCT UPDATES.

     We have had 20 people enrolled in our program since April.  They have had great results, and many are on the second round.  The average weight loss for the initial 30 days is 17 pounds, and one person lost 30.  They have all liked the program and the health results from a "clean" diet.  We have a StillPointe hCG group on our Facebook page for people enrolled in the program.  It is a great way to share successes and support each other.  Thanks to all of you who contribute to the group. 

     If you would like information on the program, we will do a free consultation to see if you are a good fit.  Just call us at 320-203-8266 to schedule an appointment.

     Here is a testimonial from one of the program participants, Jennifer. 

"This has been a very easy program to follow.  It has been very effective compared to other programs I have tried and it has gotten me back on a path of healthy eating.  I have been able to keep the weight off and maintain better energy and health. I feel great."

     What is it?  hCG is a hormone produced in large quantities during pregnancy to ensure proper nutrients to a developing baby.  hCG triggers the hypothalamus to mobilize stored fat into the bloodstream to be used as "food."  It is believed to reset your metabolism, protect your body's good fat and keep muscle tissue from breaking down, which is the most important thing in weight loss. 

     How does hCG work?  hCG is taken orally, under the tongue to be rapidly absorbed, allowing a person to use stored fat (the brown fat that is the unhealthy kind).  hCG triggers the body to provide a constant flow of "food" received from the fat that your body is breaking down and using.  

     Is it safe?  Yes, for most people it is very safe when used properly and under supervision.  Our protocol uses the homeopathic version that is easier and less invasive than the injected hCG.  The homeopathic is also very cost-effective and we will work with you during the process to make sure you have support and receive optimal results. 

     We are offering a class to go over the program and answer questions.  See the sidebar above for class details.  Registration is through Sartell-St. Stephen Community Education. 

     Each month, we are selecting essential oils to feature, providing information on how specific oils can be used and the benefits.  Plus we will have sample size bottles available for purchase.  This will provide you with a way to try the different oils at a reasonable price, just $5.00, and to see how they work for you.  Full-size bottles are also available. 

     This month, our featured oil is "Thieves."  

It is a blend of oils created from research about four thieves during the 15th-century plague who used cloves, rosemary and other aromatics to protect themselves while robbing plague victims. Thieves is a proprietary blend of highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious essential oils.  It is great for viruses and can be diluted and used as a cleaner and disinfectant. Spraying down surface areas and daily cleaning is helpful for cold and flu prevention.  Following are some suggested uses: 

• Make your own hand wipes for home and travel
• Add to natural soap base to clean outdoor surfaces
• Dilute and use for teething, mouth and dental pain
• Dilute and gargle for sore throats, tonsils and swollen glands
• Dilute and apply around ear area for ear infections
• Add 6-8 drops of Thieves, water and vinegar in 4-ounce bottle and use as disinfectant

     Starting on Monday, October 3rd, StillPointe will be working out of two locations, including our current clinic in Sartell and a new downtown St. Cloud clinic located at 713 W. St. Germain Street, Suite 200.  We will be working in the Charisma Loft Salon & Spa.  We will continue using our same phone number for scheduling appointments at both locations:  320-203-8266.
