THE GOOD

 

 

 

 

 

David and my Dad created a supplement combination for my brother to try. He responded rapidly—within a week he was clearer and calmer and off of his medication, so Dad turned to me. I was newly released from another hospital stay and on a heavy five-drug cocktail of medications. I was not allowed to be alone, day or night...Within a week I was showering and caring for myself and calmer than I had been in years. By the end of the second month of supplementation I was completely off of all of my medications and more stable than ever before. 1996 became a year of healing as I first recognized, then tried to undo the damage I’d caused during the times I was ill and out of control. My clear head and calm drug-free mind was a miracle. And now there was work to do. read on...

 

THE BAD

Air pollution is a much bigger factor in death from heart disease or stroke than has previously been recognized, according to findings from one of the largest studies ever to examine the issue. read on...

It's ironic that soy has become so accepted as a health food when, as Dr. Daniel states, thousands of studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune-system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility--even cancer and heart disease. But by the end of Chapter 3, The Ploy of Soy, you'll understand why the soy marketing campaign worked so well. read on...

 

"Plastic bottles can contain chemicals like Phthalates and bisphenol A that seep into the water within," said Paula Baille-Hamilton, M.D., Ph.D., in her book Toxic Overload. "These toxins disrupt the endocrine system, interfering with hormonal balance to trigger symptoms like weight gain and fatigue." read on...

 

Evidence of serious health consequences was recently confirmed in the Journal of Pediatrics in which CRP levels were measured after vaccination. CRP, short for C-reactive protein, is a blood marker indicating a heightened state of inflammation throughout the body. The study involved 239 infants in a neonatal intensive care unit who were given two or more vaccines on the same day. A separate group of infants were given one shot at a time, every three days.

 

The vaccines administered were DTaP, Hib, polio [IPV], hepatitis B and Prevnar. The findings were disturbing:

An abnormally elevated CRP occurred in 85 percent of infants who received simultaneous vaccines and nearly 70 percent of infants who received the shots one at a time.

 

Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) also occurred in infants who received multiple vaccines at the same time. Cardiorespiratory events (stopped breathing) occurred in 16 percent of all infants within 48 hours after receiving the vaccines. Infants who received DTaP, Prevnar and Hib as single injections experienced the largest number of cardio-respiratory events overall. read on...

 

AND THE UGLY

 

 Vitamin D deficiency is an unrecognized, emerging cardiovascular risk factor, which should be screened for and treated, a U.S. researcher says. Dr. James H. O'Keefe, cardiologist and director of Preventive Cardiology at the Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Mo., said it is estimated that up to half of U.S. adults and 30 percent of children and teenagers have vitamin D deficiency. read on...

 

After years of pressure from scientists, citizen groups and health advocates, the FDA has posted a statement to its website that is nothing less than a watershed event in oral hygiene history (it's actually quite a bit more exciting than that may sound). Although the FDA has previously adamantly denied any and all scientific evidence pointing to negative health impacts from mercury fillings, the FDA has now posted the following to its website: "Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetuses. read on...

 

 While a deodorant-breast cancer link has long been suspected, the new study is the first to identify a specific quantity of aluminum in the area of the breast – the upper outer quadrant – which has the highest incidence of tumors. The researchers said, however, that they cannot definitely state that the aluminum came from deodorants, saying that it is possible tumors might act as “sinks” for systemic aluminum. read on...
