Health Boundaries – “Did barbed wire ever tear into you? Health boundaries are worse. Health boundaries can permanently impair and range from misdiagnoses to stress. Luckily our fingernails reflect our health and show us warning signs.
When you look at the Health Boundaries Bite picture you see planted hills and a barbed wire fence. The barbed wire “health boundary” is a small part of the picture, but a health boundary can dominate. For instance, a prescription drug may keep us from pain, but also addict or do other unforeseen damage.
For many of us stress dominates. Unemployment, foreclosure, loss of love ~~ we feel the affect on our health, on our nerves.
Not just our nerves, of course. Many of us associate stress w/ stomach ulcers. What isn’t commonly known is that many stomach ulcers are caused by h.pylori, a bacteria that thrives when our stomachs aren’t working properly, often due to stress.
Because h.pylori reduces stomach acid production it is associated with malabsorption of nutrients, like vitamin B12 and magnesium. Both need stomach acid for release from food.
As digestion problems emerge we may begin taking antacids. This can cause hypochlorhydria, (low stomach acid levels), often below what’s needed to get any vitamin B12 or magnesium from our food.
So, here we are thinking we have stomach problems, without realizing that our stomachs are vitally connected to our nerves and the amount of vitamin B12 they get. Insufficient B12 leads to nerve damage resulting in pain, balance problems, loss of memory, mood disorders and other health issues.
My site focuses on improving health through awareness of the vital link between vitamin B12 and the health of our nerves and blood. Below are illustrations of some of the pages on my site about how to regain the unlimited, boundless health you were meant to have.”
