Around abouts September I started feeling blue.  It was nothing I could put my finger on. 

In speaking with a friend, he said, "are you taking vitamin D?".  I had forgotten the importance of this nutrient for me.  I immediately started taking 10000 IU of vitamin D.  Now this is a lot, but I remember from past experience that this amount really helped me.  I was amazed at how much better I felt within a few days.  A good food source for this is salmon.

​When winter comes, we don't have as much sunshine as normal, we often need to supplement with this vital nutrient.  

If you want to find out if you're low, you can contact my office and I would be glad to get a blood test implemented for you.  The cost is $79.

What is lithium in the naturopathic world?  It is a natural mineral found in some water sources, as well as in many foods.  These foods include beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and cabbage.
Lithium has many benefits which I have known for some time.  I would like to share some of these benefits with you.  Lithium has been shown to enhance longevity in older people.  It decreases one's likelihood of having dementia or alzheimer's disease.  The best thing I've seen with is that it helps people with mild cognitive impairment to perform at their tasks of daily living!  






​Current literature shows that low-dose lithium is supportive of cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, and cognitive function.
I use and recommend LI-zyme Forte from Biotics.  I know it has really helped me with my mood and overall sense of well being.  Call me today to learn more, and schedule an appointment for your health.  My name is Dr. Darren Mills, and my phone number is 502-410-1270.

I use lemons for all kinds of things these days.  I never new all of the cool attributes they have!  So first, putting a squeeze of lemon in my water or hot tea really makes a difference in our health.  It is a great detoxifyer,  and helps clean the liver.  We only have one liver, so it's important to protect this gift from God!!  Without it's proper function, our whole body would become toxic, and bad things happen to our health.  

Also, I find the oils to be a mood brightener.  Who doesn't need that in the winter, with all of these shorter days.  You can put the oils in a diffuser and it makes your whole house smell awesome!

And finally, I'd heard they are amazing for getting smells out of laundry.  Well I had a dog do his business on my bath rug.  I put in 2 slices of a lemon, about a half inch thick, got the water going, squeezed the lemons on them, put in the usual soap.  I let it sit for about 5 hours and ran it.  Wow!  My rug came out fresher smelling and softer than when it was new!  I couldn't believe it!!

Did you know that you can eat the peels of bananas?!    They are edible and nutritious!  Peels are high in potassium, antioxidants, amino acids, and fiber.  They are best to be eaten raw, since heat will destroy most of the nutrient value.  I spray my peels with a fruit and veggie cleaner to get rid of pesticides.  I then blend them in with my morning smoothie.

On another note:  The peels are used extensively in manufacturing to make protease enzymes, emulsifiers, and pectin.

It is often difficult to know how to use supplements, because many times herbs can be confusing as to how they help the body.  Well I'm here to tell you about one supplement you are going to want to know about.  That's Biotics Research ADP.  It is a patented formulation and it's proven effectiveness is unsurpassed.  It is a standardized oil of oregano, which works to bring the body's micro biome back into balance.  When our bodies have too many bad bacteria and micro-organisms, our immune systems become weak.  Now more than ever, we need our immune systems strong.  If we have a hidden infection, it will turn our immune system hyper vigilant.  This could show up in the form of unexplained aches and pains, or just feeling generally lousy.  Keeping our microbiome balanced is a great way to continue feel our best, and not necessarily feel our chronological age.  In my opinion, the gut is where true health begins and ends. 

You can order Biotics Research ADP from my website 24 hours a day at www.freedomwholehealth.com.  If you need extra support on how to use this and other Biotics Research products, don't hesitate to call me at 502-410-1270.  I can even work remotely if you are out of my area.  Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

I have been using Biotics Research Company for about 7 years now.  I have had fantastic results with my patients, and bringing their health to a new level.  They offer a wide variety of products  including digestive, mood, and pain to name a few.  Their microbiome products are second to none! I am thrilled to not only be a part of my patients wellness through my office.  Now you can order them directly from my site!  That's 24 hours a day!  The navigation tool really helps narrow down the products to direct you to the correct product for you.  If you need any additional assistance, don't hesitate to e-mail, or call my office.  I am here for you!

One little known reason that I like them so much is because they go through great pains to test for purity.  When bulk nutrients are shipped to Biotics, they are quarantined until they are tested.  They stringently test for bacteria levels and pathogens in their products.  The raw materials are analyzed for toxic heavy metals.  At this point, you might be thinking, so what?! Don't all companies do this?  The answer is: absolutely not! Many nutritional companies don't even make their own products, nonetheless test the raw materials.  This is one of many reasons, which I will be following up on in the future, why I think that Biotics Research is the best.

To order these wonderful products, you can go to my website at: www.freedomwholehealth.com.  There you can click on the link on the front page.  Sign up: and start ordering.  It's just that easy.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact my office: 502-410-1270.  You can also e-mail me at [email protected]

It seems that so many of us are under more stress these days than ever.  There are deadlines, delayed orders, wars, viruses, etc., etc., etc. One product I have through my website is a Biotics Research product.  It is called De-stress.  I have had several of my patients order it time and again.  It is derived from an all natural  peptide.  This peptide has a wonder calming effect on the central nervous system with no side effects.  I hope you will give this product a try!  Give me a call and I can set you up an appointment, or would be glad to show you how to order it through my website! Thank you and I hope you have a stress free day today.  I am attaching some literature to tell you more about it.

What is EFT tapping?Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is an alternative treatment for physical pain and emotional distress. It’s also referred to as tapping or psychological acupressure.
People who use this technique believe tapping the body can create a balance in your energy system and treat pain. According to its developer, Gary Craig, a disruption in energy is the cause of all negative emotions and pain.
Though still being researched, EFT tapping has been used to treat people with anxiety and people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

I am an EFT Practitioner! Let me know how I can help!!

Lithium has gotten a bad wrap through the years.  It has previously been taken at high doses under a doctors care.  I have heard some testimonies that have not always been positive.  

However, studies have shown that trace amounts of lithium is an important nutrient and supports the brain, the nervous system,  mood, and behavior. I have many testimonials from my patients that it has helped them with mood as well as ongoing addictions.  

I could go on and on about this important nutrient, but I am going to least hit on a few important therapeutic effects it has on the body. Lithium plays a role in the growth, maturation,  and maintenance of the brain and spinal cord.  It is a vital nutrient for the nervous system. It has been reported to be beneficial in brain injury, stroke, Alzheimer's, Huntingtons, and Parkinsons.   
I will leave you with this reference to do your own research on the powerful nutrient.  Thank you for your interest!  Also, if you would like to know more, call me, Dr. Darren Mills at (502) 410-1270.

Do you wonder if it will ever go back to normal, when people used to shake each others hands and giving each other hugs? Well, it would be a lot safer, if we took some steps to build up the immune system. Supplements such as zinc, oregano oil, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Elderberry are the cinderellas of keeping you feeling your best against all viruses, including the Corona virus.  The immune system is complex, and everyone has there ideas on the best way to handle the pandemic.  For me, I believe eating healthy, taking the recommended supplements, and reducing stress is a great way to get away from the chronic fear that has enveloped us.  Feel free to call the office to learn more about things you can do naturally to increase your overall health and wellbeing and put a positive spin on taking care of ourselves.  My telephone number is 502-410-1270.
