Latest “Ask Kim” – Tinnitus

Kim Iles — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 07:00:45 +0000

Question for “Ask Kim”: What natural treatment would you suggest for my mother who suffers from vascular tinnitus? It’s driving her crazy!
We just recently ordered ginkgo extract pills to help with the blood flow…
Her tinnitus is due to hypertension.
Thanks for whatever you can suggest!

Hi K!
Over the years I`ve heard of a couple things. There are specific Homeopathic Remedies for the symptoms, but, perhaps a product like FLW may assist in cleansing the veins and arteries (http://shop.wellnesswithkim.com/products/flw-formula). FLW has a history of being used as a “nutritional” by-pass. Taking Ginkgo may be good, but actually cleaning out the years of build up, may help on a greater level.

I have heard of hearing being restored in people, so you never know! No matter what, cleaning the arteries is a good thing, and her Hypertension may improve. Testimonials say it works – you may want to read David Roland`s book called ” Nutritional By- Pass” and see for yourself what the benefits could be!

How To Stay Healthy This Holiday Season

Kim Iles — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 00:35:44 +0000

During this Holiday season it’s important to remember all of the little things that make such a big difference in your health. Be sure to drink lots of water. Simply: You take your body weight, divided in half, and that is the number of ” ounces ” of water your body needs to survive well! It may sound like a lot, but if it shocks you – you may already be dehydrated. It’s the state of being low on water that may lead to you catching a virus. In the winter months the air is drier, and without moisture in our eyes, nostrils, mouth, lungs etc, these opportunistic little virus hitch hikers, may choose you to land on! So stay hydrated!

Eating too much sugar! This alone may crash your immune system and during this busy time, falling ill is the last thing you may be wishing for! So watch the sweets, and breads, and… sorry… but alcohol is sugar too!

Now I know you are thinking: “where`s the fun in all of this? ” This is where a few basic supplements may help you protect yourself if you choose moderation in all of the holiday cheer, good food, and even stressful conditions.

Take extra Vit. D3 for sure. I personally take about 10,000 Vit D3 each day when going through long stretches of no sun shine on my skin! Yes, that’s right. The sun may even be out, but if your skin is not exposed… fully… you do not produce the needed amount of Vit D3! So unless you may visit a Vit. D nudist Camp in these cold blustery days, you must increase this critical Vitamin.

Next, just be sure to stay on your best Multi-Vitamin. Do not skip your daily habits no matter how busy Christmas gets. Taking a high quality multi is your insurance policy for poor eating days etc. If you do not take it, it is like trying to build a house with no foundation on the ground first… you cannot skip this step.

For cold and flu protection, we have a few favorites around our store and at my home! NOW brand has a wonderful staple item. Allibiotic should be in every medicine cabinet. You can pop one every day, or if you hear those tell tale sniffles from your work mates? GRAB A FEW! If you feel something coming around, take 3- 4 that day. If you actually have a symptom or two, take 2 cap… maybe 3 times for a day or so. The ingredients in Allibiotic are all supportive to your Immune System, and may stop those viruses dead.

We also love Allimax garlic as well. You can do similar things with it, or just stay on one cap a day all year! Its wonderful for all allergies, heart, and other daily challenges we face. Allimax has a lot of science behind its patented Allicin ingredient, so our customers love the results of just NOT getting sick! You can find this in store.

And finally, of coarse, Vitamin C. Good old Vitamin C! Humans cannot produce this valuable vitamin, so we must get it from foods or supplements. Unless you live in the southern hemisphere and can pick your own tree ripened fruit, don`t rely on oranges that are painted orange because they were picked while still green! They have not ripened, hence the amount of Vit. C is questionable to say the least.

NOW brand once again, is the top selling Vit, C in our stores here in Chatham. We know we can trust the quality, and that is our goal. Offering you the best quality because your health matters to us, not just selling pills, but being sure you see results.

Well, its time for me to head off to the Chatham store for more fun seeing customers and helping them with the oh so many challenges of the season. I hope you will listen to a radio show or 2 on the site here. I love sharing the amazing topics with our guest experts and you. It matters to me that you hear the news, and to find out about great ways to increase wellness in your life. With so much going on these days, you really need to take your health & wellness into your own hands and be serious about it. You will be thankful to say the least as you see the results, and feel wonderful!

Happy Holidays to everyone. Merry Christmas and remember that this is a time to reflect on our lives, hold our friends and family near, and be truly grateful for all that we have. Gratitude will attract more good things to you, so be sure to notice even the tiniest things to be grateful for. Last night I purchased a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. It was one of the last ones on the lot, and I knew it would not find a home. The man said a lot of people looked at it, but they all chose the bigger, prettier ones. As I drove away with that little tree, it made me smile! I was so happy to just have a tree, and very grateful for all that little tree must have endured: weather, rain, drought, and the years to get it to the lot, just to add to my Christmas festivities. Look at your life like that. Sometimes you have bad days, some good, but overall, its the quality, not the quantity of the things in your life. The best things? Are not THINGS at all. Make the best of all of it! Smile at the smallest of things, and joy will follow you.

You deserve the best of health and wellness, so thank you so much for choosing our site to read over, send us a message, or listen to shows. We love hearing from you, so join our little Wellness With Kim fan group on Facebook, and stay in touch.! Merry Christmas.

Be Well & Be Real !

Suffering with Pain or Inflammation?

Wellness with Kim — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 21:08:19 +0000

Are you suffering with pain or inflammation?

There is no need to resort to addictive drugs, and drugs with horrible side effects such as internal bleeding, and death!

Natural anti inflammatory supplements are really becoming a hot topic. The world is waking up to the high cost on their bodies of years of using NSAIDs, or over the counter pain pills. I have heard so many stories of how people are now addicted, and may not even know it. They believe they have to take the medications because their pain is so severe, but not realizing that the drugs themselves cause a rebound pain, that is worse than your original injury or condition.

Drug addiction to pain medications is plaguing our youth right now as well. Street use of Oxycodone, Percasets, and other such medication is killing our kids, and we need to become aware of our message to our children. They believe that these medications are not as bad as Cocaine, heroine, or crack….because “it comes from a Dr. how bad can it be?”

There are many safe ways to control pain, reduce inflammation, and heal your body. Please check out a few that we love here at Wellness With Kim: Listen to Brad Kings radio show about LeafSource, or Platinum`s Relev X, and start today to say NO to drugs, and be a role model for a bigger cause… our youth!

Why You Should Cleanse Before It Gets Cold!

Kim Iles — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 18:00:52 +0000

Happy November! Fall is here and not only are the bears getting ready to hibernate, but even us humans are preparing to slow down, become more sluggish and settle in for the cold Winter months.

Now is a great time to do a cleanse. Fall cleanses prepare your system for the time ahead when you build a few more toxins typically, due to less activity is these months, and more eating of processed foods. We eat less fresh produce in the winter, get less sunlight, and all of this causes a bit more of a burden on your health.

Renew Cleanse products are perfect for first time cleansing, or for those that have known the value of total body cleansing and see the wellness benefits they achieve.

Doing a cleanse not only allows you to drop a few stubborn pounds, but this time of year, can prepare your digestive system for a slower few months. I like the Renew line because I trust the quality, and integrity of the company. I know they do not load you up with harsh laxatives, and ingredients that are too hard on your bowel. Our customers love the results, and they love that they do not have to be near a bathroom for 30 days while doing the CleanseSmart Kit. Along with the kit, you should also take FiberSmart, and/or OilSmart for the best results.
I thoroughly recommend you try cleansing. Your results will vary, but overall, you will feel lighter, less bloated, more energetic and reducing the toxic load on your system can only help your long term health goals. First time cleanser? Also check out: First Cleanse!

Start the winter season off right!

Must Have Items To Have On Hand As We Get Into Fall!

Kim Iles — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 10:00:54 +0000

Have you noticed how rapidly the season has shifted? Most often when drastic weather changes occur, that is when we see an increase in colds and flus , and allergies etc.

Your Immune response is challenged every day.

The bad guys (viruses, bacteria, molds, fungus, etc) are around us all the time, but seem to hit us more during this weather change. It is these times that natural remedies hold the best hope for helping you cope and recover.

All too many times we see people run to their Doctor, or emergency room for these things; most of them will not ever respond well to a good old dose of antibiotics. So heed my warning! You need a well stocked ” health chest ” in your home.

Once a virus hits, your window of opportunity to knock it out is short, but with a proper plan, you won`t even miss a day of work, school, or life!

Some of my favorites that I have recommended to people are Allibiotic from NOW Foods, Super Silver, and the great support items that are a must multivitamins, probiotics, and Vitamin D3!

Vitamin D3 alone is a supplement we should never be without – especially with all of the studies emerging. Check out this site: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/news.shtml

So…you find yourself feeling a tickle? You feel a little achey? Then what?

What I do….is load up! I increase my probiotics ( see RENEW Flora Smart ), I drink a lot more water, and I take any one of the supplements such as Allibiotic, but I take a few extra as soon as I can. If your Immune system has allowed a virus to take hold…you need more help!

If you find you get a lot of viruses, perhaps you have shingles, or herpes, then you may find taking Leafsource all the time to be a great way to strengthen your body.

Drop me a line sometime – and I`ll share how I had an OHIP card that expired 6 years ago, and how I have escaped antibiotics for over 27 years!

Who Is Kim Iles?

Wellness with Kim — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 22:47:18 +0000

To whom we trust our health!

A mother, a business owner, and an advocate for all kinds of issues relating to health and wellness. Kim Iles has been the person to go to in Chatham-Kent when issues arise that require a “non-medicinal” answer. Although not in the medical profession herself, with 20 years of interviewing experts in natural health, Kim is able to point individuals in the right direction to find the answers they need.

Prevention, Prevention, Prevention. This is Kim’s message. Most people do not worry about their health until it is too late, and damage has been done. Although she could provide many resources once someone has been disgnosed with a “Dis-Ease”, her passion comes from making sure people do not get to that point.

Whether its physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental or any other aspect of health and wellness, Kim is your first stop resource to more information. Whatever your wellness question – just Ask Kim!
