47 year-old hairdresser with gas, bloating, nausea, sugar cravings, hair loss, poor concentration, headaches, dizziness, depression, anxiety, frequent colds, stuffy nose, cold hands and feet, and 50% less energy than she had five years ago.

After proper testing to identify numerous nutrient deficiencies and four months on a handful of supplements, she felt like a new person again.

COMING SOON: Live presentations at Binkley Healing Center on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:00pm.

7-Subclinical B-vitamin deficiency anemia – If your bone marrow lacks sufficient B6, folate and B12, to make adequate new red blood cells, your circulating RBCs get bigger to compensate. This is the best way to identify deficiencies of these essential B vitamins, the effect of which also constantly strains your heart and deprives cells throughout your body of sufficient oxygen.

8-Vascular inflammation – Have you had an ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test? This measures blood viscosity, which is increased by inflammation from many types of illness and stress.

9-Vitamin D deficiency – Your immune system can never function at its peak without sufficient vitamin D. Many other systems, organs and tissues throughout your body become impaired if you lack healthy levels (50 to 90 ng/ml).

10-Hydrochloric acid deficiency – A very common cause of low protein, B12, iron, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals, as well as intestinal infections. Normal production in the stomach is compromised by nutrient deficiencies and stress.

11-Coenzyme Q10 deficiency – Essential for every cell in your body, especially the kidneys, heart, and all your muscles, CoQ10 is made by your liver, but natural production peaks around age 25 then steadily declines.

12-Side effects of medications – All statins (cholesterol lowering drugs like Lipitor/Atorvastatin and Zocor/Simvastatin) directly block the production of CoQ10 in the liver. Very few people really need to take statins––if they’re willing to eat better food and take safe, effective cholesterol-lowering supplements. Antihistamines, Muscle relaxants, Antidepressants (Trazadone, Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac, Cymbalta, Effexor, Elavil), Beta blockers (Metoprolol, Propranolol) Opioids (hydrocodone, oxycodone, codeine, Tramadol) and Benzodiazepines (used to treat anxiety and seizure disorders––Lorazepam/Ativan, Diazepam/Valium, Alprazolam/Xanax, Clonazepam/Klonopin all frequently cause fatigue and drowsiness. Many people need these medications; but safe, effective, natural alternatives are often available.

1-Iron deficiency anemia - Subclinical iron deficiency anemia – Have you had a ferritin test? If the iron ‘storage tank’ in your body is running on empty, you have functional anemia, which puts a constant strain on your heart, and may be depriving cells throughout your body of adequate oxygen.

2-Pre-diabetes – Have you had an A1c test? Anything above 5.6 is a potential problem.

3-Low protein – Many people who eat plenty of good protein are surprised to learn the protein level in their blood is insufficient for optimal healing and repair (<7.00).

4-Dehydration – Most adults really need to drink two quarts, and maybe even a gallon of water daily to flush out toxins and keep their brain, joints, kidneys and cardiovascular system functioning properly.

5-Subclinical hypothyroidism – You may not need a prescription for Levothyroxine yet, but the thyroid is the furnace of the endocrine system––it keeps everything else cooking at the proper speed and temperature. A slight deficiency has profound long-term effects.

6-Chronic subclinical infections – Too many bad bacteria in your gut, gums or sinuses may be constantly depleting your immune system.
