Summer has fully arrived and with it a time of fun, laughs, and enjoyment.

In this Issue:f. 



Summer is a time of  vacations and a time of relaxation. A time to evaluate that which has been achieved throughout the year and what there is to create in the remaining half of year. Time to  prepare our immune systems for the coming cold and flu season of Autumn. For things are coming to an end and thus new beginnings are possible.



Over the past several weeks I have been asked many questions about mind health, dementia disorders, body/liver cleanse, tendon and muscle inflammation, and stress management. In this edition I have provided information on these subjects for your review and discussion. I hope I have aided you in your search for knowledge and your path of natural healing. 

In Light, Love, Laughter, and Healing

Nutritionally Speaking:

Psychiatrist at the University of Cincinnati found that wild blueberry juice enhanced memory and learning function in older adults. Due to these findings, some researchers suggest blueberries could potentially fight more serious memory problems like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The most recent research on this superfood backs up that claim.
