Advice from an Urgent Care!

Everyone is getting sick now so it is a good idea to stay out of other folks faces.
You know RSV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Flu A & B are going around. So many people
are showing up at urgent care, daily. after all, it’s winter and this year’s weather is making it worse.

They all need to be treated symptomatically, these are all viruses, that can last up to two or three weeks, especially walking pneumonia—which can leave you with a hacking cough for months.

There’s no antibiotic treatment for viruses so, .over the counter Mucinex DM (and the like) will loosen all the mucus and thin it out. Increasing fluids, also helps so go heavy on the water intake!

Using a humidifier if you have one will help keep your lungs clear of mucous,.

Take hot steamy showers with vapor tablets— it will feel like heaven and help loosen the mucous.

Take cough medicine for your cough (if you get rid of the mucus, you get rid of the cough)
Take Tylenol/ibuprofen for your fever, pain, headaches, etc.. Also, sinus flushing (sinus suction for the toddlers) or a netipot can be one of the best things you can do for the sinus pressure headaches.

If you have a nebulizer, use it every four to six hours (especially if you are asthmatic). If you don’t have the solution from the doctor, mix two cups of sterile water (bottled or boiled) with one teaspoon of salt. Believe it or not, it will help to break up all that mucus in your lungs, chest, and sinuses.

Stay well!

The cost of membership

• Costco Membership: $65/year
• Amazon Prime Membership: $139/year
• Sam’s Club Membership: $50/year

No thanks.
Did you know that for just $19 a year, I can choose American-made, natural products—sounds like a much better deal to me!

For the past 20 years, my family has been shopping at my favorite Online Shopping Club, and we’ve saved thousands by steering clear of big corporations like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Instead, we proudly support a company that not only aligns with our values, but also allows us to earn by simply sharing with others. Plus, it prioritizes first responders and military families—something we deeply appreciate.

For me, every purchase feels like a meaningful choice, from supporting American-made goods to investing in businesses that give back to those who protect and serve our communities. That’s why every month, 20,000 to 40,000 new customers join in. It’s more than just shopping—it’s a movement. I’m proud of every family making the switch.

To me, this is how the average American breaks out of the system. You have to shop anyway—why not get paid for it?

My Online Shopping Club is the future of conscious consumerism, and I’m all in. Care to join me?

Staying “Focus”ed

I have been taking this product since June 2024. I have to say that it is an absolute game changer for mental clarity and consistent focus ability.
One small capsule per day first thing in the morning, and it literally lasts all day long. I feel amazing. I am fully alert and focused throughout the entire day.

Happy Valentines Day!

This is a day that is often filled with roses, cards and CHOCOLATE!

Believe it or not, dark chocolate is a heart-healthy choice (when not loaded up with sugar and saturated fat). Combine it with almonds and it gets even healthier because almonds can help reduce blood clots. When enjoyed in moderation, studies show that Dark Chocolate can be a heart healthy choice.

Dark Chocolate can help in:

  • Making platelets in the blood less sticky and able to create clots, which can cause heart attack or stroke.
  • Processing nitric oxide, which helps improve blood flow throughout the body, including the brain.
  • Lowering the risk of insulin resistance, which reduces the risk of diabetes.
  • Controlling chronic inflammation, which can lead to heart disease..

Keep in mind the higher the percentage of cocoa, the greater the amount of flavanols, but also the greater the bitter flavor. Just a bite or so a day is all you need to reap the cardiovascular benefits.

CAULIFLOWER RICE?

YES, cauliflower rice can be a healthy alternative to white rice.

Let’s face it, rice in general has no flavor it’s more of a texture, which makes cauliflower rice is a great choice for adding to your meal where you would normally want a rice. For example in a quick stir fry or in a dish like chicken cacciatore. Plus cauliflower rice is low in calories and carbohydrates, and can be a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins.Here are some things to know about this versatile side dish:

•Calories: One cup of cauliflower rice has 25 calories, compared to white rice or potatoes both of which can be high in calories

•Carbohydrates: Cauliflower rice can have up to 89% fewer carbohydrates than white rice per serving.

•Fiber: Cauliflower is a good source of fiber, which can help you feel full and eat fewer calories throughout the day.

New Finding on Vitamin D Levels!

New research reveals that vitamin D may play a more significant role in overall health than previously understood. A comprehensive review of 99 randomized, controlled trials involving over 17,000 participants worldwide offers new insights into the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation.

Key findings suggest that taking an average of 3,320 IU of vitamin D daily may lead to improvements in several health markers:

  • reduced blood pressure
  • lower overall cholesterol
  • decreased Hemoglobin A1C
  • improved fasting blood glucose and insulin levels

Many of you only take 2000 IU’s, and this suggests that may not be enough. Remember that D3/K2 is critical to help get the vitamin D out of the blood (which can lead to calcifications) and to the bones where it is needed!

The Olive Oil Deception 

Did you know that olives are a fruit?
And just like fruit juice, olive oil tastes best and is the most nutritious when it’s fresh.

Fresh-pressed olive oil has the highest levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and a unique anti-cancer compound called Oleocanthol.

But there’s a problem:
According to Forbes“It’s been reliably reported that 80% of the Italian olive oil on the market is fraudulent. A study last year by the National Consumer League found that six of 11 bottles of Extra Virgin olive oil from three major retailers—Whole Foods, Safeway, and Giant—failed to meet Extra Virgin requirements.”
Yes, many olive oil companies produce low quality olive oil diluted with other oils, and some companies sell “olive oil” that isn’t even made from olives!

In his book, Extra Virginity, olive oil expert, Tom Mueller, warns of contaminants and cancer-causing agents in these fake olive oils:
“Italian investigators have found hydrocarbon residues, pesticides, and other contaminants in fake oils, and pomace oil, a common adulterant, sometimes contains mineral oil as well as PAHs, proven carcinogens that can also damage DNA and the immune system.”

So how do you know if it’s authentic?

The Label: The label should indicate the harvest date and whether the oil has been blended with other oils. Look for a quality seal from the International Olive Council (IOC) for European oils or the California Olive Oil Council for American oils, which indicate that the oil has been tested and meets certain standards.

The Bottle: The bottle should be dark colored glass to protect against UV Ray exposure

The Taste: Authentic EVOO has a bright flavor with hints of fruit, grass, and almond, and a slightly bitter, peppery aftertaste. Low-quality or “fake” EVOO may taste dull, greasy, waxy, or crayon-like, or have no flavor.

So shop carefully and read those labels!

Have you ever heard of the French Paradox?

We all know that high saturated fat and high cholesterol foods are bad for our hearts, right?

The French consume more of these foods than we do, yet they enjoy significantly better heart health. This finding seemed to contradict other research that clearly linked fat-laden diets with increased risk for heart disease.

Many researchers attribute this paradox to the heart-healthy components of grapes. While the French may eat more fatty foods, they also drink more wine with their meals. The grapes used to make the wine are an extremely potent source of natural antioxidants including flavonoids.

Of all the potential vegetables, fruits, herbs, exotic berries, nuts, and roots that lead to a healthier heart, none compares to the purple grape. Purple grapes are filled with polyphenols that positively impact the interior of blood vessels unlike anything else.

That said, drinking wine every night is not a wise move for many for obvious reasons.

That’s supplement my diet with two of my very favorite ingredients daily!

Grape Seed/Skin Extract: A super-concentrated, natural extract associated with maintaining healthy blood pressure and supports healthy endothelial function. Grape skin includes many critical natural compounds that are extremely useful for a healthy cardiovascular system, called Anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are powerful polyphenolic compounds that are especially helpful in maintaining a healthy endothelial function.

Resveratrol: A polyphonic compound found in grapes and some berries. Resveratrol has been shown in lab tests to neutralize free radicals and is associated with a wide variety of beneficial physiological effects, including cardiovascular health. It is also associated with helping maintain healthy endothelial function. It’s suggested in several studies that resveratrol has a positive impact on diseases such as cancer.

Question: Do you look at the ingredients in your supplements?
