Blue Zone?

  • Blue Zone?

Dear Friends,
I was watching a show about the Blue Zones on Netflix the other day. Blue Zones are areas of the world where the population has a higher rate of people living into the 100’s by multiples of at least 5. By the way when I say living I mean actually living NOT existing in nursing homes. These centurions are active members of their communities and families. They exercise, garden, play games…I mean they are living!

One thing they are not is heavily medicated and one thing they are is well fed. Hmmm…food as medicine?! What a novel idea!

Several of these cultures are near the sea and when studying their diet, you will notice that they consume a ton of sea weed/kelp. What does that have to do with anything? Well, look at it this way: all rivers eventually end up in the ocean. Therefore, the ocean is the depot for all the minerals in the world!

Ocean based food is RICH in minerals. This is why sea kelp is used in so many of SP products. They can give you countless essential nutrients loaded in a concentrated form. Min-Tran (which is sea kelp, alfalfa,  calcium lactate, and magnesium) is a perfect example. Like sea kelp, alfalfa has countless minerals because its roots grow to 10-12 feet below the soil. Which means it is taping into soil that has never been disrupted.  

You can see, SP is formulating their food supplements to feed you the richest, most concentrated nutrient sources they possibly can. I think one of the hidden gems in Min-Tran is iodine. Iodine is one of the most important nutrients in the body. 

It is also one that we are EXTREMELY deficient in as a society.

Stats say that to 15% of people have thyroid problem. I would say that percentage is low if you include all of those who are not optimal in thyroid  function. What is the most important mineral to thyroid function?  You guessed it IODINE. I have had patients tell me that they are allergic to iodine…which if that is the case it’s called death.  You can’t be allergic- it is essential to life!  You can however be allergic to the carrier molecule so people with severe seafood allergies may be allergic to the iodine forms carried within those foods. 

Even if you have no thyroid, every other cell in the body needs iodine because it is vital for the immune system.  Which makes sense when they are going to do a surgical cut or put an antiseptic on your skin. What is the tincture made from? Iodine!  Yes, if it is antiseptic on the body then it is antiseptic in the body.

I feel regular users of Min-Tran invariably are getting doses of iodine that are improving their overall health because of the increase in not only iodine but other vital minerals as well. This enhanced wellness compels them to use a little bit regularly.

I had many patients say, “If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!” 
Today.
Right now.
You are as young as you will ever be again.

So maybe today is the day to start taking better care of yourself.  And that starts with good diet and proper supplements to feed you the nutrient you are deficient in.

Act now so your wheels at 80 are a bike not a wheelchair!
God Bless,
Dr. Dan

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
