Your Bread Is Covered In Glyphosate! Switch To Something Healthier!

Hey, Health Stoppers!

Looking for a simple way to make a positive impact on your health? Switch out your bread! If you're still eating the standard American wheat bread (white bread is wheat bread, guys), you are doing your body a huge disservice. It is common knowledge that American-grown wheat is doused with Round-Up and glyphosate herbicides to kill weeds. These herbicides are absorbed into the wheat shaft, into the cells of plant. They DO NOT go away when the wheat is harvested, nor when it is processed and baked into the bread you serve on your table! If you are consuming American wheat bread, you are consuming herbicides! Consumption of herbicides can harm your gut biome, disrupting your digestion. They also can cause hormonal imbalances, birth defects, psychological impairments such as ADHD, Autism, Depression, heart issues, have been linked to various cancers, respiratory illnesses, reproductive issues, and obesity. What a time to go gluten free! What alternatives are there? Many! But many of them have a different taste and texture than traditional white breads, or may be full of GMOs. We happen to carry a bread that tastes like a delicious traditional white bread, and is GMO-free! It is sure to be a family favorite on the breakfast table! DeLand Bakery's millet-based breads are wheat-free, delicious, and VERY comparable to your standard white bread. They make for great sandwiches, and toast! We have two varieties available, the Millet Zucchini, comprised of millet flour, zucchini, and other vegetables. The magic of this recipe is that you would never taste the vegetables! Instead it feels like you're biting into a light, fluffy white bread! The second option is the Millet Special, which has brown rice flour instead of the vegetables, giving it a heavier, grainier texture. Switching out your bread is a small step you can make toward better health; and as you can see, it could make a BIG impact! Do yourself and your family a favor : upgrade from standard American wheat. Make 2020 the healthiest year yet!

The Science of Sage Smudging

Hey, Health Stoppers!

It's that time of year again... the thinning of the veils, the approach of All Hallows Eve, the time when the ethereal energies are at their strongest - leaving us much more vulnerable than usual. This is the best time of year for sage smudging, as it's the best method for keeping creepier entities at bay! The practice of smudging has been around for thousands of years, seeming to cross continents and cultures (though the medium used to smudge may vary). But why is 'holy smoke' such a universal practice? Could there be any science behind it? Turns out, as with many other ancient practices, there is! Why Smudging is Beneficial (Aside from keeping away ghosts and ghouls!) In this email we will be addressing the benefits of smudging with Artemisia ludoviciana (white prairie sage), specifically. 1. Smudging has been found to have both anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. 2. Smudging has been shown to repel insects! 3. Smudging is thought to release negative ions, and is said to neutralize positive ions. Examples of positive ions are : pet dander, pollution, dust and mold. Therefore, smudging can dramatically help those with asthma, allergies and bronchitis. Just don't inhale the smoke! Smudge the area and then wait until smoke clears to re-enter your newly cleansed environment! 4. Smudging has been found to have a positive effect on individuals with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Smudging may also help soothe stress. 5. Smudging may help improve sleep, acting as a remedy for insomnia. 6. Smudging has been found to improve cognition, focus, and may help boost energy levels. We've gotten in a new, huge shipment of sage in! Come by and get yours today, and keep the ghosts and ghouls (or mold and dust bunnies) at bay!

A New Way To Keep Healthy!

Hey, Health Stoppers!

We'd like to take the time to introduce you to a wonderful service provided by our friends over at Vista Wellness in Oakland! Thermography, or Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) is a non-invasive imaging procedure for monitoring physical conditions by showing thermal changes present in the body. Images can be taken of the breast, whole body, or area(s) of interest. DITI is FDA Registered, painless, does not employ the use of radiation, and involves no contact with the body. Our technicians are certified through the American College of Clinical Thermology (ACCT). DITI provides for the earliest detection of breast health as well as many other issues via a technology that shows physiology and metabolic processes. X-Rays, CT Scans, Ultrasound, and MRIs are technologies which show structure. With DITI – an infrared heat-detecting camera displays the infrared energy emitted from the surface of your skin, reflected through the sympathetic nervous system, and it converts it into electrical impulses visualized in color. Thermography is used across a wide variety of areas for evaluation and monitoring of various conditions including: Breast health Back injuries TMJ Periodontal disease Sinuses Vascular disease Digestive disorders Nerve damage/neuropathy Sprains and strains Many other conditions Tumors may be detected at the beginning stage of formation when vascular changes show an area is creating a new blood supply, a process known as angiogenesis. DITI can establish risk factors and you can use this information to take steps towards intervention. Our ACCT Certified technicians can take images of the whole body or just the areas of interest.
