When air conditioning alone is unable to cool you down vibropathic remedies can provide relieve from high temperatures. [Read more →]

Thanks to modern day science, a vast amount of information on illness and disease is available. Each year, more information is uncovered that helps us prevent ailments, cure sickness, and heal. Today, doctors can detect many illnesses at a very early stage, and prevent them from becoming serious. Despite our ability to prevent the development of certain fatal diseases (such as cardiovascular disease), many people still suffer from them. While high blood pressure can be diagnosed through a simple test and prevented through healthy lifestyle choices, Americans have a 90% risk of developing high blood pressure during their life time. More than half of all Americans over the age of 60 have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. High blood pressure affects both sexes, but men are more likely to develop it earlier in life.
Why risk it? Blood pressure can be easily tested during a regular visit to the doctor.
This, along with other life threatening conditions, can easily be solved when detected early. Detection can help save your life, or the life of a loved one. Men’s Health Network encourages both men and women to visit the doctor in June. June is Men’s Health Month.

Hanna detected deep-seated poisons (mercury/MSG/aluminum) inside the body and formulated Emu Mu liquid with purple light!
Natural remedies for healing can sometimes be found in unexpected places… like the emu. Aborigines of the Australian Outback have relied on the oil of emu for thousands of years and its popularity is constantly gaining momentum. Hanna, believing greatly in the therapeutic benefits of emu oil, created products to be used internally and externally to provide relief from smoothing wrinkles without clogging your pores to addressing high cholesterol in a natural way. Find out how emu oil can benefit you! [Read more →]
Grape seeds have known to help with some types of poor circulation and high cholesterol.
Grapes have been an important medicinal and nutritional food for thousands of years. Egyptians ate them at least 6,000 years ago, Greek philosophers praised their healing powers, and European healers made an ointment from the sap of grapevines to treat skin and eye disease. Today we know that there is healing to be had from even the tiniest part of the grape: its seed. Grape seed increases antioxidant levels in blood and sweeps away free radicals to keep your body healthy and your skin looking younger. From combating aging to reducing your risk of heart disease, the tiny grape seed makes a great impact on our well being. [Read more →]
This week at Hanna’s, we celebrated Men’s Health Week. We took a look at why prostate cancer takes the life of so many men despite the fact that it can be easily cured when detected early. We saw that men are at risk for developing heart disease, and that osteoporosis, often called the “women’s disease” threatens the density of males’ bones. This Father’s Day, give your Dad the gift of health with these fun and easy gift ideas:

As a continuation of our Men’s Health Month coverage, today’s post surrounds the greatest threat to men: heart disease, a serious issue for both men and women. One in 4 Americans will be negatively impacted by heart disease this year and those at highest risk include people who are overweight, diabetic, physically inactive, those who eat a poor diet, and those who use alcohol and cigarettes. One in 4 Americans—that’s equal to about 600,000 people each year! As serious as heart disease is, there is good news! Through healthy lifestyle choices and natural supplementation the risks of heart disease can be dramatically reduced. [Read more →]
Contrary to common belief, the “women’s disease,” osteoporosis, or bone loss, threatens both genders. While 80% of individuals with symptoms of osteoporosis and low bone mass are women, 20%-or 5.6 million- are men. The disease is almost always associated with women, especially women going through menopause. Due to this association, many doctors fail to recognize symptoms of osteoporosis in male patients. Changes in hormonal production as males age can lead to a loss in bone mass, an eventually severe osteoporosis.
The most common cause of male osteoporosis is testosterone deficiency. Men need healthy levels of both testosterone and estrogen to maintain healthy bone mass, and a decline in the production of either hormone could lead to health problems. Hypogonadism refers to low levels of hormones in [Read more →]

Statistics indicate that women are 100% more likely to visit the doctor for annual examinations and preventative services than men. While we’re thinking of how to celebrate dad in June, it’s important to consider all the men in your life and how you can ensure they are as healthy as possible. June is Men’s Health Month and people across the country are wearing blue to show they’re paying attention to issues surrounding the quality of life for the men in their lives and this week, June 10-16th, is especially important because it’s Men’s Health Week!
The purpose behind Men’s Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. Did you know prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men but can be detected early and cured yet it kills approximately 30,000 men each year? [Read more →]
Our primary source of nutrients is the food we eat. Fruits and vegetables in particular provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals that serve our systems. Hanna advocated the idea of healing the body through food, a philosophy Kroeger stands behind to this day. Modern day medical experts agree with this idea around the world. If we are going to heal our ailments through the food we eat, it is important to optimize the amount of nutrients we get from our food. Optimizing our nutrient intake may seem like a daunting task with so many essential micro- and macro-nutrients to keep track of. Simply making the right choices in the grocery store can help us keep our bodies healthy.
In the modern day grocery store, certain vegetables may have significantly higher health benefits than others. The difference in nutritional value, according to the New York Times, may be due to the way produce has changed over the last several decades. According to the article, “studies published within the past 15 years show that much of our produce is relatively low in phytonutrients, which are compounds with the potential to reduce the risk of four of our modern scourges: cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia,” and that every fruit and vegetable in the produce aisle has lost nutrients over the course of agricultural history.
