Higher blood levels of a plasticizer, called phthalates, have been linked with women going through menopause two to 15 years earlier, which puts them at risk of all kinds of health woes from heart disease and diabetes to plain not feeling good or enjoying sex. Strive to purchase plastic-free cosmetics. Menopause 2012
Those exposed to cleaning products—farmers, hairdressers, and printing workers— were found to have increased risk of getting asthma. Besides cleaning products, flour, enzymes, metals, and textile exposure at the workplace are also linked to higher rates of asthma. Occupational asthma holds a message for us all. Use green products and ventilate when you clean, especially if you have young children who spend lots of time on the floor and put most things in their mouths. (Thorax 2013)

Honey given at bedtime (three different extracts all worked) was more effective than placebo in reducing the frequency and severity of nighttime cough. Authors tell parents that honey could be used as a safe and effective cough suppressant for children one year of age and older. Pediatrics 2012
Living and Learning I lived and learned with Scott and Helen Nearing in Maine back in the 1970s; they were the highly educated “back-to-the-land” first organic gardening gurus. They were my first mentors. Scott had a PhD in economics, but he got fired and black-balled because he was the first person to speak out about child labor and demand protective laws. Industry got him thrown out of academia. So Scott went “back-to-the-land,” but in an impressive, educated manner. Scott and Helen initiated the organic food movement and environmental consciousness. People traveled from all over the world to see how they lived. [...]
The real risk of heart disease and potential mortality comes more from ugly cholesterol, which is remnant cholesterol, than the other cholesterol. The culprits? Any excess weight from overweight to frank obesity, smoking, and unhealthy fatty foods and high triglycerides. (Journal of the American College of Cardiology 2013)
We are what our parents ate. And what they thought. And how they lived. Children do not just inherit money, they inherit EPI-genes. The surrounding proteins that morph genes. How we live, think, hide, move and eat, all influence our genes more than our genes themselves. Our kids receive these messages in the dynamic womb. I wrote about this in Hormone Deception, and its day has come. A call for GREEN PREGNANCIES, where both to-be parents make a conscious decision about commitment and family. They choose a mate. They plan a date. They detox together, eat better, create a physiologic womb [...]
OXYTOCIN The New Hormonal Kid On The Clinical Block By Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson (Author of soon launching SEXY—better health with bigger “O’s”) Modern Dilemma. In America today, marital relationships and personal moods seem pretty hard to hold together. Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. Studies say 20 to 72% of husbands commit adultery and 10 to 54% of wives do likewise . Try as we may to achieve happy relationships, many fail. Moods are murky. Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults and cost one-third of all monies spent on mental health. The National Center for Health Statistics shows that [...]
In Hollywood, the face you are born with is only the face you start with. In functional medicine, the body or disease you are born with, is only a starting point, too. Why? The body is designed to heal. Our genes are graciously and responsively designed by Mother Nature to “morph” based on our life “choices.” How we move through our days on this planet in our body and emotional suits has a robust part in our continuing evolution. Nature created us as co-creators. Vitamin F - Fun But it is not just our 3 E’s: eating, exercising and earning rupees [...]
Don’t need to get off the couch, just pop a pill? Title of one report of this article reads: Exercise in a bottle could become a reality. This research comes form the University of Sydney. They discovered the first blue print of 1000 molecules that are your body’s reaction to exercise. Now they are looking for meds to turn these molecules on. Modern medicine is all about patent meds. If a natural supplement can do an equal or better job with less adverse issues, you will probably not hear about. Until it becomes a drug. Or is tagged on to a [...]
