NEW study...Evidence weighs heavily toward Acupuncture for weightloss

I knew this would get some attention, this article sure caught my eye. Dr. Lamadrid did mention the importance of proper nutrition/fuel for our bodies, and exercise, I would like to emphasize the importance of those two things. Proper nutrition and at least some movement everyday, especially weight-bearing exercise as we age, for bone health, is so important.

I do appreciate this study to provide hope for those suffering with weight issues. I am so thankful we at Valeo can offer people hope through acupuncture, naturopathy, chiropractic, massage, craniosacral...I really believe that the best is yet to come!

Another encouraging story how acupuncture helps with fertility. Although not much was stated in this article other than Mariah's one-a-day treatments, acupuncture balances the body from the inside out. One of the many reasons for infertility is high stress level and in our society today of the NOW mentality there is much frustration with innability to conceive. When our body is given the opportunity to rest, relax, and we fuel it properly it only has one option: BABY!

Heart Racing Gone!

Since my last appointment with Dr. Rob and Christine (naturopathic doctor), I have had no more heart racing or tightness in my chest. I never would have thought these symptoms could have been caused by emotions trapped in my body. WOW!

I love the fact that I don't have to worry about this issue in my health any longer ~ Thank you, Valeo!!!!

Can An Emotional Shock Cause Your Health Challenge?

Here at Valeo Health and Wellness Center, we have been studying the mind-body connection as it relates to decreased health and increased disease. There are numerous studies in the research world that show a relationship between traumatic events and the onset of cancer and other diseases. The following article briefly describes the paradigm known as German New Medicine, a scientific explanation for one of the causes of disease.

According to the Oncologist, Dr. Ryke Hamer, M.D., disease can be caused by an emotional experience that is shocking, isolating, and completely unexpected. Due to a personal experience with cancer he began investigating the histories of thousands of his cancer patients and he found that, without exception, they had all gone through extremely stressful emotional traumas before developing cancer. He began studying the brain scans of his cancer patients while comparing them to their health histories and medical records. He discovered that every patient had suffered a "conflict shock," which was an emotional event that caught them off-guard.

In addition, through the study of fetal development known as Embryology, he determined that every disease is controlled by a specific area of the brain which also correlates with the organ/system that developed at the same time. For example, the thyroid gland develops from the endoderm, which is the germ layer that develops at the same time as the brain stem during the first period of the embryonic stage. So, according to Dr. Hamer, at the moment of an emotionally distressing situation that was not anticipated and for which a person was not prepared, three levels within the body are affected; the level of the psyche, the brain level, and the organ level.

At Valeo we have long known that undernourishment, poisoning, and injuries are common causes of organ dysfunction, but through using the theory of German New Medicine along with other techniques and the power of God through prayer we have been helping our patients get to the underlying root cause of their health challenge. It is only by getting to the root and "pulling it out" that a patient is able to get full resolution of that health challenge.

If you are interested in learning more about the unique breakthrough's in health and wellness that we are utilizing here at Valeo, please give us a call. If you have "tried everything else" and have had limited success, don't give up! We are here to help!

Stress ~ Need Enzymes?

Digestive enzymes must be present in the upper GI tract and organs for breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and sugars (cell food). The breakdown of essential nutrients is only half of the process. Once our foods are broken down we still have to deliver the nutrients to the cells of the body. Many biochemical reactions are needed for this to occur unhindered.

Stress is an enzyme destroyer! When your body registers stress, whether internal, external or both, your adrenals are told by the brain to produce the hormone, Cortisol, in attempts to balance out the recent influx of stress. Cortisol competes in the digestive tract for Hydrochloric Acid (Hcl). The more Cortisol, the less digestive enzymes to break down our food. Now picture a scenario of a high stress day, running late, eating something fast (muffin and latte/espresso) on the go, meeting after meeting, late picking up the kids, dinner has to be fast food so the kids can get dropped off at sports ~ and you have a recipe for digestive upset, breakdown, lack of nutrients, beginning of disease and/or symptoms. Sound familiar????

Knowing simple facts about the physiological process of digestion is half the battle. Understanding what foods have naturally occurring enzymes is extremely helpful and lessens supplement intake. Ingesting the proper foods and/or whole food enzyme supplements during times of stress is very wise. Our bodies struggle to keep up with the demands of our society and lifestyles ~ we must learn balance and compensation to avoid the traps of health crises we see today that have become so common and accepted as "normal".

There is a BETTER WAY ~ there is HOPE ~ there is HELP!!! Whether you currently have symptoms or not, you have stress!! Be proactive ~ the results and healing happen much faster, easier, more cost effective and truly halt the road to dysfunction, disease, etc.

The body has over 3,000 enzymes that we know of so let us help you determine which ones you may need ~ call Valeo today to schedule a consult to determine what enzyme(s) you may need. Take advantage of our special $25 off your initial appointment this month!!
