From Infertile to Conceivable!
Are you aware that one out of every six couples experience
fertility problems while attempting to conceive? That the number of
infertile women in the US from ages 20-25 has tripled in the last 30
years? That research shows worldwide sperm counts have declined 50%
in the last 50 years. One couple in six cannot conceive naturally
and miscarriages occur in one woman in five.
A sensible approach to
preconception healthcare includes providing an adequate supply of
all that is essential to the health of the potential parents and
their bodies, and removing and eliminating all that has been shown
to be harmful to the process of conception.
First, what is know to be
harmful to fertility? Unexplained infertility is believed to be
seriously affected by dietary and environmental causes. Many factors
affect fertility in both men and women. Approximately 80,000
chemicals are used in the US today, and only about 5% have been
tested for their reproductive effects. The full damage of these
chemicals to our reproductive systems is unknown.
Here is a brief list of
toxins where their effect on fertility is known:
-
The chemicals in
cigarettes, second hand smoke and marijuana
-
Prescription and
recreational drugs, including steroids, chemotherapy, cocaine
and antibiotics
-
Home and workplace
substances, including pesticides; herbicides; fungicides;
vehicle emissions; gasoline; paints; cleansing solvents;
adhesives; heavy metals such as mercury, lead, aluminum, and
cadmium; dry cleaning chemicals; fabric dyes; styrofoam;
plastics; rubber, toxic smoke from burning compounds, and many
more.
What we ingest also
affects fertility. Food and beverages can contain the following:
monosodium glutamate (MSG); medications and detergents found in tap
water, drinks containing alcohol; and fruit, vegetables, meat and
seafood contaminated with bacteria and molds. There are also
substances that mimic the estrogen hormone inside a person’s body.
The presence of these hormone disrupters sends the wrong signals to
the body's estrogen receptors, disrupting the hormonal balance
needed for fertility. These disrupters include pesticides and
herbicides, plastics that leach chemicals into food, and food
additives.
A toxic liver is also
believed to contribute to infertility. The liver has an enormous job
in cleansing the blood of chemicals, toxins, pesticides,
preservatives, dyes, flavor enhancers, growth hormones, and other
chemicals present in food and water. When the liver is congested and
unable to eliminate the huge amount of toxins we come in contact
with on a daily basis from air, food, water and products, those
toxins either circulate throughout the body's systems and organs
(ovaries are organs) or are stored in fat cells to protect the body
from their potential damage. Cleansing the liver is of vital
importance, not only to maintaining wellness but also to support
fertility.
Help is available. The
Wellness Spa on 5th. Avenue is now offering a 13 week cleansing and
detoxification program to prospective parents. This weekly program
includes sessions in Bio-Electric Lymphatic cleansing to thin
congested lymph fluid, Far InfraRed Sauna sessions to detoxify cells
of heavy metals and chemicals, the ION detoxifying footbath to
remove heavy metals, chemicals, tobacco residue and drugs stored in
the liver, and Colon Hydrotherapy to improve elimination and cleanse
the colon of toxic residue.
For an appointment or
further information, please call 303-777-2555 x 2 or visit

HOW HELPING YOUR BODY HELPS YOU!
Are you able to interpret the messages
your body sends you? Do you ignore those messages, or perhaps,
you don't know what they mean.
Chronic fatigue, cellulite, aches and
pains, skin eruptions and rashes, constipation, swollen ankles,
allergies, chemical reactions, PMS, ridges or lines on your nails,
rapid weight gain, swollen or painful lymph nodes, frequent
headaches, fibromyalgia, weak immune system, premature aging, foggy
thinking - all of these are signals from your body that something is
happening and your body wants something to be different.
But what do these messages mean?
Stop for a moment and think about the profusion of chemicals and
toxins present in our daily lives that weren't there even 20 years
ago. There is a huge body of research and
opinions emerging that says the rapid increase in serious disease
from arthritis to cancer, obesity, premature aging appears to be
triggered by individual reactions to the "toxic overload" each of us
is carrying. Some people are so burdened by toxins, they
become overly reactive and overly sensitive to their environment,
unable to tolerate being around soap, fragrances, asphalt, cigarette
smoke, cleaning products, fabrics, and certain foods.
Our bodies are designed to cleanse and
detox chemicals and toxins through the body's various natural detox
pathways. When those pathways become overwhelmed and
overloaded, they begin to shut down and are unable to process out
the toxicity. In self defense, your liver, responsible to
clean toxins out of your bloodstream, begins to store chemicals in
fat cells throughout the body.
When our fat cells are tested, there are
between 200 and 800 chemicals found in them. These chemicals
are even present in the Antarctic in fetuses, newborns and mothers
milk. That indicates there are very few areas on the planet
that remain unpolluted and safe.
So what do these messages from the body
mean and what can be done for our bodies?
Your body is begging for natural internal
cleansing and detoxification to relieve it's burden of chemicals and
toxins.
There are many different ways to
accomplish this. There are cleanses available for purchase.
Beware, however, that your body may not like all of the ingredients
involved. Test yourself first for safety.
There are noninvasive and easy ways to
cleanse and detoxify. With an immune system that seems
compromised, with frequent colds and illnesses, swollen glands
and ankle swelling, your body is asking you for lymphatic drainage.
The Bio-electric lymphatic drainage instrument, with it's ability to
penetrate two to three inches into the tissues, is more effective
and painless than using massage. The instrument's
wands thin lymph fluid and loosen toxicity so a detoxifying footbath
or colon hydrotherapy following a lymph session is perfect to remove
the toxins before they can be reabsorbed.
If you have arthritis, fibromyalgia or
gout, or just feel achy, the ION detox footbath is perfect to remove
the toxins and chemicals involved in those processes. Safe and
noninvasive, the ION footbath removes heavy metals, pesticides,
chlorine, old tobacco residue stuck in the liver, and many other
chemicals. Use the Far InfraRed Sauna first and dramatically
increase what is removed in the ION footbath. Sign up for a
colonic and observe copious amounts of chemicals flowing out of you
for 20 to 30 minutes.
Do you know if you're constipated?
Your body desires one bowel movement after each meal (not snack) per
day. That usually averages three per day. The average
American's bowel habit is one bowel movement every two to three
days. Even with only one movement per day, we are short about
70,000 bowel movements in a lifetime. Where does all of
that waste matter go? The colon is a five to seven foot
muscular tube that can stretch six to ten inches in diameter.
That's where it goes! And it's sitting there, causing
"autointoxication" a condition where the body is poisoning itself.
Even many physicals believe disease begins in the colon.
Perhaps it's time to come in for a colon hydrotherapy session.
It's private, sanitary, and your body loves it!
Even Synergie Cellulite Reduction is a
detoxification procedure, since it breaks up congested lymph fluid
so the body can flush it out. Cleansing and detoxification
today is so easy, there's no longer a reason to delay healing your
body.

Firming Facials - More Than Just A
Fad
The Wellness Spa on 5th. Avenue has recently
added the Synergie Firming Facial to their repertoire of available
services. The firming facial is a gentle and safe facial vacuum
massage that stimulates the skin and underlying tissues. This
aesthetic treatment gives clients a deep, relaxing, comfortable facial
massage while exfoliating the skin and increasing circulation.
This Firming Facial is the solution for
healthier skin that looks and feels great. Synergie facials work
from the inside out because beauty is more than skin deep.
The Firming Facial diminishes fine lines and
wrinkles; reduces hyper-pigmentation; improves appearance of superficial
skin damage caused by aging or sun exposure; reduces enlarged pores;
increases circulation for healthier skin; cleanses, tones, and
moisturizes for smoother skin, all while providing a relaxing and
enjoyable 30 minute session for maximum stress relief.
PRACTICAL WELLNESS
Information about chemicals and toxins in our
lives is presented on the news, in magazines and in newspapers. Daily,
it is reported that each of us are bombarded with hundreds of chemicals
that disrupt the functioning of our bodies, leading to unwanted
weight that won't come off; dis-eases and illnesses that attack
our bodies; create difficulty breathing, etc. We live with
pollution scares, municipal water with medications in it, unsafe food
filled with un-pronounceable chemicals, and more. In this article
I will answer questions about the effects of chemicals and toxins on our
brain and body, our children and pets, and what you can do about it.
HOW DO THESE CHEMICALS INVADE MY
BODY?
Chemicals and toxins enter us through the
food we eat, the tap water we drink, the products we use in our mouth,
hair and skin, the clothes we wear, and the air we breathe. Before
1940, there were no chemicals in our bodies. Today, if our fat
cells are tested, between 300 to 600 chemicals are found in our fat
cells. In 1993, according to the EPA's "Toxic Release
Inventory" there were 1,672,127,735 pounds of toxic chemicals released
into the air! To be healthy, it is important to reduce the number
of chemicals entering into the body and increase the number leaving the
body - a process called detoxification and cleansing.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF CHEMICALS IN
MY BODY?
We are living in the most polluted times
in the history of the world. Only a few chemicals have been tested
for safety, and none have been tested in combination for their effects.
Many of the effects of chemicals are subtle and cumulative.
Because we are conditioned to believe many of our aches and pains are
signs of aging, we accept them as part of life without realizing what we
can do about them. We experience the following signs and symptoms
of toxicity: impaired immunity, fibromyalgia, arthritis, gout,
chronic fatigue, constipation, weight gain or loss, cellulite, skin
conditions, such as acne and rashes, hormonal imbalances, candida,
lupus, chemicals sensitivities, inflammation, breast congestion, foot
and ankle swelling, chronic pain, and much, much more.
Many chemicals cross the blood-brain barrier
and damage the glands in the brain, causing them to malfunction.
Aluminum, a heavy metal, is implicated in Alzheimers, and yet it is
present in conventional antiperspirants and deodorants. Lymphatic
nodes are present under the arms, where the aluminum is absorbed and
moved throughout the body, including the brain and breasts. A
simple method of prevention is to switch to a natural, aluminum-free
deodorant.
HOW DOES THE BODY COPE WITH THE
TOXINS?
When our bodies begin to accumulate toxins
faster than it can eliminate them, health imbalances result. The
body attempts to convert toxins into nontoxins or remove the toxins
through the body's natural detoxification pathways. However, when
the body cannot do either of these effectively, it enters into a
condition I call "toxic overload" where the liver begins to store many
of these toxins in the liver itself and other body tissues, mainly fat
cells. Another way the body reacts is that important body organs,
such as the kidneys, liver or pancreas, become weakened. As this
occurs, the body becomes more out of balance, leading to more organ
weakness. This same process happens with our pets.
WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MYSELF?
Practical solutions involve avoiding
smoke-filled air, made easier by the no-smoking laws in Colorado.
Second-hand smoke has between 5000 to 6000 contaminants in it!
Avoid other pollutants, such as car exhaust, pesticides, paint odors
(use low VOC paint), fumes from glue, and conventional hair sprays,
cosmetics, soaps, and skin care products. Make the health food
store your best friend!
Chlorine and fluoride are both poisons added
to tap water to kill harmful viruses, bacteria, and protozoa. They are
damaging to our livers and taste horrible. Drink
reverse-osmosis or spring water, but carry your own water bottle to
avoid adding more plastic to our landfills. Have a good filtration
system that filters out more than just the chlorine and fluoride, and
don't forget to filter your bath and shower water.
And my favorite suggestion - eat organic
foods. Yes, they may be more expensive, however remember, you are
worth it. The organic label means no pesticides, preservatives, toxins,
growth hormones, artificial flavor enhancers, etc. have been added to
the food. Pesticides, in particular, are made of heavy metals,
believed to trigger neurological diseases.
The most important action you can take is to
cleanse and detoxify. And for your pets, they appreciate pure,
filtered water and organic or natural pet food.
HOW DO I CLEANSE AND DETOXIFY?
Inner Cleansing and detoxification is easy if
you are patient and dedicated. At the Wellness Spa on 5th. Avenue,
we provide a one-stop all inclusive cleansing experience to meet your
needs. We offer the ION detoxifying footbath to remove chemicals
from your tissues, joints, muscles and brain. The filtered
water starts off clear and turns colors as toxins are safely and
painlessly released from your body. Our two Far InfraRed Saunas
help your cells release toxins and burn huge numbers of calories.
The Bio-electric Lymphatic Therapy wands thin and decongest your lymph
fluid so your body can remove it. Since 70 % of your lymph
(immune) system is in your abdomen, this helps improve your resistance
to illness. Colon Hydrotherapy helps with digestive issues,
diarrhea and constipation. Did you know your body wants a full
bowel movement after each meal you consume? Colonics can help with
that.
WHAT ABOUT CELLULITE REDUCTION?
Cellulite is considered to be a "vanity"
issue, but in truth, using our Synergie Vacuum Massage system,
it becomes a detoxification process. So many chemicals are stored
in lymph fluid and fat cells, using the vacuum massage to gently break
up the solidified lymph fluid that makes up cellulite moves chemicals
and toxins through the body's natural detoxification pathways to be
eliminated.
Cellulite reduction using the Synergie system
is so easy. It feels pleasant, similar to a deep massage, and is
very effective. I personally dropped 14 overall inches in just two
months. I am so thrilled we have this cellulite service to offer
to clients who have despaired of ever doing anything about cellulite and
fat.
