Tips to improve your pet’s health

Many customers are asking why I think so many cats are getting urinary tract infections and so many dogs are getting skin issues. I respect that people are thinking about it and I think it’s an important question to ask. What’s interesting to me is that most have already concluded for themselves, it’s the food they’re feeding them and that’s why they’ve come in…to learn how to feed them right.

In truth, dogs and especially cats are carnivores… they’re meant to get their nutrient requirements from animal… protein and fats from muscle and organ meat, minerals from bones and occasional greens…grains, fillers and man-made chemicals added to preserve and enhance color and taste…are not on their menu.

Unfortunately, many pet foods in the marketplace continue to contain these things, leading to gut distress and ultimately whacking out their pH, which leads them into a biochemical mess. When that happens, inflammation occurs and misery is sure to follow… it’s that simple.

As always, I believe putting our money upfront into quality food for them and for us… is a big piece of the answer. In reality, the money being spent on pharmaceuticals that chase symptoms, people using their precious time going to doc’s appointments, loss of time from work and family and after all that often still not feeling well…will always be far more expensive than just putting our money up front into quality food in the first place.

Thank you to everyone that’s coming in to check out our pet department and for trusting our guidance; it’s very appreciated! Peace.


The Symptoms of Synthetic Estrogen

Man-made estrogens are everywhere and learning to reduce your exposure may be one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Synthetic estrogen is a result of industrialization and the discovery of petroleum in the 1800s. Since then, the world has been exposed to cancer-causing chemicals and products that the world before the 1800s didn’t have.

Here are some of the common symptoms that synthetic estrogen is known to cause—you’re just not going to hear about it on the nightly news. The list is long but here goes…
Mood swings, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, problems with the menstrual cycle, difficulty getting pregnant, imbalances with peri-menopause and menopause, hot flashes, night sweats, tender breasts (men too), young girls developing too fast and the menstrual cycle starting too early, young boys developing breasts, prostate, breast (men included) and colon cancers, bloat, gas, endometriosis, erectile dysfunction, weak bones, sugar cravings, chronic vaginal and urinary infections, systemic yeast overgrowth, eczema, psoriasis, depression, mood swings, estrogenic-based cancers (yes, I put them on the list TWICE for a reason!)…the list goes on and on and on.
So do yourself a favor—the next time someone asks you to donate money to find the cure for cancer, tell them NO THANK YOU because you’re learning to participate in the solution. Reduce the commercial man-made chemicals you’re using in and around your home, get rid of commercial dairy products, quit eating cheap meat and fast food junk, ditch the commercial perfume, cologne and parabens, get rid of toxic cleaning products, and most importantly care about the products you’re exposing you and your loved ones to. Support CLEAN food and products. Now that’s the BEST cancer prevention you can put your money into!

The Real Issue About Vaccines

The vaccine issue has been brewing for years in this country. It’s an emotionally charged issue for people on both sides of the fence but thanks to the media “fear” campaign, the fear factor is growing.

The result? Several states are writing legislation to FORCE vaccines on millions of people. Currently, California has active legislation that if passed, would make it mandatory for all newborns to 18 years of age to be vaccinated with whatever the “experts” feel is necessary…no matter how many vaccines that means, without regard to the toxic ingredients they all contain, and with acknowledging the adverse reactions happening in many people. It’s an emotionally-charged conversation on both sides of the fence, but after years of discussing this issue with thousands of people, this is what I’ve come to understand.

The REAL issue is NOT about whether vaccines are safe or effective; the REAL issue EVERYONE should be thinking about is this: should medical authorities and governmental officials have the right to tell you what to do with your body and how to take care of your health, whether you agree with it or not? It’s that simple. That’s the bottom line.

Deciding how to care for our own bodies and the choices we make in regard to our health is the MOST intimate right we have. If we allow others to determine what is “best” for each of us, the reality is that one day those “others” might decide that all medical treatments are necessary too. If we give our rights away on this issue then one day chemo, radiation, aggressive surgeries, and endless pharmaceuticals might all become mandated as well—throughout the course of our life, right up to death.

So the real question to consider is how does everyone in this country want to live?

Forced vaccines, if passed, will alter our nation forever, in ways that I think most Americans considering. So no matter what your personal view is on the subject of vaccines, please take a stand for personal choice. Most importantly, protect your right to have power over your own body. If we truly are the ‘Land of the Free and the Brave,’ then I pray the majority of Americans will say NO to vaccine/medical mandates and protect our personal choice for the health and future of our nation.

Help Get Rid of Systemic Yeast Overgrowth

Systemic yeast overgrowth is very prevalent in the United States and I believe an unspoken health epidemic. After guiding thousands of customers for many years on this issue, it’s fair to say that most doctors don’t understand it or look for it or know what to do about it…other than throwing another pharmaceutical at it, which does NOTHING to balance it.

The historical unfolding of industrialization, factory farming, mass-medication of antibiotics and synthetic estrogen through the food supply and (in the 1950s) convincing women not to nurse their babies have all lead millions of people into the health mess they’re in. In truth, our FIRST line of defense for proper digestion and quality health is beneficial flora—good bacteria—probiotics, and that’s what’s missing. Without proper colonization of the good flora throughout the alimentary canal, human health is severely compromised.

So if you’re dealing with chronic bloat, gas, thyroid imbalances, adrenal fatigue, breathing/asthmatic problems, menstrual imbalances, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, eczema, psoriasis, rectal itching, sinus/ear/throat/thrush infections, vaginal or urinary infections, fibroids, anxiety/depression/mental confusion/brain fog, sensitivity to smells/solvents/chemicals, nail fungus/athlete’s foot/jock itch, extreme sugar and carb cravings…honor your body and know that it’s asking for help and NOT another pharmaceutical, especially an antibiotic!

Changing what you’re eating and being on the right supplement protocol is really the answer for most imbalances in the 21st century. It’s the FIRST step to balancing most of what ails the American people.

Come visit us today and we’ll help guide your supplement protocol.

WAKE UP TO GMO’S!

We have a lot of cool things going on at the store this Fall and hope you’ll join in on them!

October is National GMO Awareness month and having genetically modified organisms in our natural food supply is a subject we take very seriously at Health Foods by Claudia. It is an issue that many Americans are just becoming aware of and really don’t quite understand yet. But we’re doing our part to help that change.

One of the wonderful non-profit organizations we support is the NON-GMO Project. They’re doing important work on GMO education and are helping companies ‘certify’ that the ingredients they’re using in their products are GMO free. It’s a big undertaking and I’m grateful they are there, supporting companies and consumers to better understand this issue; they are making a difference.

All through the month of October, we are participating in NON-GMO Awareness month by offering great savings on the companies that are taking a stand. Also look for GMO FYI’s all around the store; it’s an easy way to learn more about this important issue and how it is adversely affecting your health and our world.

On Saturday October 12, 2013 we have committed to donate 5% of our sales that day back to the NON-GMO Project and we’re very excited about it. We’ll have lots of great savings and some give-a-ways too! Help us say ‘thank you’ to an organization that is helping all of us.

Also we are very involved in the Ohio initiative to mandate the labeling of all foods and food ingredients that have GMO’s in them. It is an innate right for humans to eat food of natural origins and when that has been tampered with, we have the right to know. If you are an Ohio citizen and would like to be involved in our LABEL THE TRUTH OHIO campaign please check out our website and join with us to get truthful labeling on ‘foods’ that have are genetically manipulated. It is our right to know!

One other important thing to mention; we have lots of delicious, safe organic candy to offer all your goblins at Halloween! So come check out our selection of goodies and remember…if it’s ‘certified organic’ its certified NO GMO’s too. After all…we don’t want our adorable goblins becoming someone’s science experiment!

In peace and wellness, Blessings and peace,

Claudia
