Improving Blood Circulation
One question I often hear from customers is "How can I improve my circulation?"
The good news is that there is a simple way to improve circulation in the body. It's called Contrast Showers.
Here's how it's done:
1. You stand in the shower and turn the water on as hot as you are able to stand it. Run the hot water over your body for a minute or two.
2. Then change the temperature of the water to as cold as you are able to stand it. Continue running the cold water on your body for about a minute or so.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 about 4 to 8 times.
4. End off with the cold water.
Do this several times a day for the most benefit.
When you begin, you may only be able to tolerate warm water then slightly cool water. This is okay because you don't want to scald yourself. As you do it more often, you'll gradually be able to withstand hotter as well as colder water and this will make it even more effective.
The hot water causes the blood to flow towards the surface of the body. The cold water makes the blood flow towards the center of the body.
Poor circulation can also reduce the absorption of nutrients that you're taking while improving your circulation can help your body to get better results from the nutrients that you're taking.
Here are some other reported benefits of Contrast Showers in addition to better blood circulation:
*Boosts the immune system
*Revitalizes the skin
*Reduces muscle soreness
*Temporary relief of aching, pains and stiff joints from arthritis
*It helps the body to reduce toxins. (Medications are very toxic to the body.)
*Better digestion and nutrient assimilation
*Can help to improve mobility
*Improves production of digestive enzymes
*Improves the oxygen to the internal organs
*Better metabolism
*Helps prevent colds
It's not recommended that you take a Contrast Shower if:
*You are asthmatic
*Have an active autoimmune disease
*Inflammation
*Cardiovascular problems
*Are pregnant
Consult your physician if you have any questions about the safety of this procedure.
Underlying Causes of Diabetic "Complications"
It is the "complications" that arise from the diabetic condition that cause serious damage to the body of the diabetic. In the following article we examine some medical research showing the cause and solution to one of these diabetic complications:
"Arteriosclerosis is the medical term describing hardening of the arteries. The most common form of this disease, the one that kills more Americans than any other disease, is atherosclerosis. The development of this disease follows this pattern: The inside walls of the arteries start deteriorating in their physical structure and small lesions (wounds) begin to appear. This cellular deterioration of the inner walls of the arteries is fundamentally a result of vitamin B6 deficiency."
"If the lesions become serious enough and if there is an accompanying vitamin C deficiency (as is usually the case), capillary rupture and hemorrhaging (bleeding) begin to occur. The body then calls for a protective measure to stop the internal bleeding within the artery. This action is termed a blood clot (thrombosis), which seals off the hemorrhaging. At the site of the injury on the artery wall, dead and dying cells, white and red blood cells, continue to accumulate, and actually begin to block the artery. When this happens the blood supply is diminished, which in turn deprives the heart and the brain of life-giving blood."
"As the injured area cells grow, they attract numerous substances, including calcium and cholesterol. While the calcium and cholesterol deposits continue to grow, they begin to form areas in the arteries called atheromos. The atheromos thicken and blood clots (thrombosis) begin to stick, resulting in a severe reduction of blood circulation to the heart and the rest of the body. As calcification continues, the arteries harden and high blood pressure ensues; circulation of the blood is then greatly diminished and a heart attack often results."
"The initial arterial damage of lesions, hemorrhaging, blood clots and so on is first caused by specific nutritional deficiencies in the diet. Once the damaged area in the artery walls occurs, then the build-up of cholesterol as well as calcium becomes a secondary problem. But if one treats arteriosclerosis by simply reducing the dietary intake of cholesterol, or for that matter calcium, one is merely treating the symptoms and not the cause of the disease."
"It has come to be almost an established position that if one wishes to protect against heart disease, one should avoid eating saturated fats. But the evidence shows that a high fat consumption, when accompanied by plenty of the essential nutrients which all cells need, does not cause arteriosclerosis or heart disease…."

Low Levels of Vitamins B12 and D Linked to Depression
Low vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, along with increased homocysteine, may play a role in depression among children and adolescents
While there was no significant difference in folate levels between the depression and control groups, 11.23% of those with depression had low levels of folate
Both vitamin B12 and folate have previously been described as antidepressant nutrients; folate is found in dark leafy greens like spinach and avocados while vitamin B12 is found only in animal foods such as grass fed meat, eggs, dairy and wild-caught seafood.
Vitamin B12 also helps regulate homocysteine levels, and increased homocysteine is linked to B12 deficiency as well as depression
Ensuring youth are eating healthy diets rich in folate and vitamin B12, as well as optimizing their vitamin D levels, may go a long way toward bolstering mental health and avoiding conditions like depression
