                       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 www.wellnesson5th.com. Reception is open from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with appointments available after office hours and one Saturday a month. Our mission is to teach you how to experience wellness, prevent infertility, dis-ease, unwanted weight, and feel great.

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.

Bobbi Thompson, RN, MA, is a holistic nurse and colon therapist.  She and her husband Jerry Besing, lymphatic and cellulite reduction practitioner, own the Wellness Spa on 5th. Avenue.  They are available for consultation and sessions by appointment.  Call today at 303-777-2555 x 2 or view the website:  www.wellnesson5th.com for further information.

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. 

Sleep Disorder

We live in a world where toxins are everywhere - in food, water and products we use.  Toxins, chemicals and heavy metals in your blood and cells trigger sleep disorders, allergies, acne, fatigue, and swollen joints, feet, and ankles.  Because toxins are so prevalent, our liver becomes overwhelmed with eliminating them.  Toxins also cross the blood-brain barrier, affecting the balance of our brains. 

Detoxifying your liver and lymphatic system reduces sleep disorders and more! 

Both systems provide natural detoxification and elimination for your body, but easily become congested.  This is called "toxic overload", a condition where your body cannot eliminate it's 100 toxicity. 

Inner cleansing and detoxification benefit your body.  The detox footbath pulls toxins from the liver, gallbladder, joints and cells.  Bio-electric lymphatic therapy thins lymphatic fluid so the accumulated waste  can be eliminated.  Colon Hydrotherapy reduces the bodies chemical load via the intestines.  The InfraRed Sauna helps cells open  and release toxins.
