Join Us! July 4th - 7th, 2019 This Issue: The Truth about Chocolate New Oak St. Canopy Breast Thermography New Services
Freedom. Independence. All words have power. Let’s take a moment to consider the significance of each of these.
The Oxford Dictionary defines freedom as: The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. The Oxford Dictionary defines independence as: The fact or state of being independent. Then, it defines independent as: Free from outside control; not subject to another’s authority. Not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence. Capable of thinking or acting for oneself.
The Continental Congress voted in favor of independence from Great Britain, on July 2, 1776, and two days later, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks and parades to casual gatherings and barbecues.
We claim this day to celebrate our right to act, speak, and THINK as we want, free from someone else’s control or authority. So, first, I will ask you: are you truly thinking your own thoughts? Much of the world is wrapped up in media and technology and instant gratification, and this allows for a blind acceptance to what others say is true or false, and because things can happen with the touch of a button or screen, few stop to consider the consequences beyond that momentary, “I want.” You even hear arguments about what is “fake news” and what is “real” news!
It is wise to take in information from all sides so that you can make informed and educated decisions; however, are you in touch with yourself and your beliefs enough that you can analyze this information and think independently for yourself? Can you stand confidently in your truth?
The NHIFF, to which we have devoted most of this issue of the NITE Light, was born out of a great desire to celebrate our freedom with people who share similar beliefs and passions and who also see natural health as part of their right to live their independence. Plus, a festival is a fun expression of the greatness that transpires when people come together in common-unity!
We do hope you join us in our celebration; continue reading for more information on all of the amazing speakers, workshops, food, and other events we have planned. Then, remember to write it on your calendar for next year, because this is just the beginning!
“Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.” -Albert Camus
With gratitude, Amy Jo Howard, ND Director of Education Welcome to the Oak Street Canopy
Through hard work and perseverance, we have secured new housing accommodations for guests of the Naturopathic Institute and Naturopathic Community Center. Our guests will have a home away from home in this new location which includes a full eat-in kitchen, dining room, living room, five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a study room in the lower level.
We will also be renting the facility for those who need an “extra house” for large family events, long stays due to unforeseen circumstances, or as your getaway to all the fun activities that central Michigan has to offer.
The decks, both covered and uncovered, offer relaxation and comfortable gathering spaces. This Oak Street Canopy is settled in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced-in lot.

Colon Hydrotherapy is referred to as colon irrigation, colonics, colon therapy, or high enemas. odestly draped and lying on a specially designed “table,” you insert a small, sterile, disposable tube an inch into the rectum, which allows the gentle infusion of filtered, temperature controlled water to enter the colon, promoting the body’s expulsion of fecal matter. It is a gentle and often relaxing process that you administer yourself with the support of a knowledgeable therapist.
The colon is a reflex organ, meaning there are neurological connections to all other parts and systems of the body. When waste material has accumulated over a long period of time, it breaks down and becomes toxic.
Some of the signs of a toxic colon are coated tongue, bad breath, sallow complexion, abnormal body odor, dark circles under the eyes, cold hands and feet, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture pot belly), tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, chronic headaches, irritability, nervousness, nausea, depression, asthma, and backaches.
