Comment on Vitamin D Trumps Vitamin C at Preventing Flu by Wade

Wade — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:00:33 +0000

I was diagnosed vit. D deficient about 18 months ago and prescribed a specific dosage. The doctor told me vit. D deficiency can cause fatigue and muscle soreness. Fortunately, the pills are cheap and available just about everywhere. I felt an improvement right away, but I had no idea that it was good for fighting flus and colds.

Comment on Do You “Just Need A Good Night’s Sleep?” by Wade

Wow, Nina, reading through your blog brings back memories! Sleep was the reason I first went to see you–I woke up every morning feeling exhausted, and some nights I had trouble falling asleep in the first place. But one treatment from you, and the next morning I woke up feeling great! My health–and life–have gotten better and better ever since!

Nina, you were always a great help to me when I had colds (and so many other things)! While everyone else at work was sneezing/coughing, run down, and grumpy for a week or more, you would help me nip mine in the bud or get better in a day or two. Keep up the great work! –Your fan, Wade

Any chance that juicing will take care of detoxing ourselves from sweets? I’m sweets junkie and I’m trying to get rid of the toxicity. I got a VitaMix from Christmas. Hope this helps.

Comment on Why do so many people have an autoimmune disease these days? by nina

Thanks for this great question Sue!

Here’s the short answer:
1) fresh whole fruits and vegetables
2) good fats: omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats
3) good water
4) lean protein
5) include herbs than lower inflammation like turmeric and ginger

In my Sailing Through Midlife program all the participants will have a chance to easily try an anti-inflammatory diet during our cleanse week so that they can find out what it feels like and see the positive benefits.

Comment on Prevent 34 Pounds of Weight Gain by Avoiding the New Starbucks Latte by nina

It appears that Starbucks changed course on the trenta. Good move on their part! Any high calorie beverage can have an impact on your weight loss.
Drinking water regularly is an easy way to cut calories.

P.S. I also wanted to clarify a point you brought up that many people say, which is somewhat incorrect. That is about whether any other adult creatures besides humans drink milk. The reason that it seems not is merely due to the fact that it is difficult for other creatures to obtain such milk. In truth, if they can obtain it, they often go for it before any other food source. Some examples include some species of snakes which will even break into milk bottles (through foil tops); and cobras of course are famous for being fed milk; a variety of birds (also will break through foil tops) and some birds such as ravens have been filmed drinking milk that squirts from creatures such as seals when they are in crowded conditions feeding their pups; many other animals when they can get at milk, including opossums, skunks, bears, foxes, etc. etc. Heck, it’s well known that some fish even like dairy products (in the form of cheese, used as a very successful fish bait). Indeed cheese bait is banned in some areas because it works so well. I just wanted to bring this up since I believe that milk is indeed a healthy food and the evidence supports it. Women especially can benefit from it; and it also is just about the easiest quick meal one can have on a busy schedule, making it a super-handy option.

Hi – every Starbucks I’ve been to refuses to give me an iced latte in a Trenta cup – they tell me “it’s not allowed.” Were you able to get them served in this size of cup and, if so, where? I’m curious…. Thanks!
