It's come to my attention, much more lately, that some of the patients I consult with who are already among the most sensitive to chemicals and most things in their enviroment are now losing the little quality of life they have left when their immune system is even more taxed through therapies and devices that add to their Electromagnetic Toxic Load....allow me to explain.

Being a practitioner in the Inland Northwest of the U.S., I know only too well the devastating life-changing challenges victims and families of those afflicted with multiple sclerosis (MS) must endure. This area of the country has the largest percentage of MS cases in the country; many thought to be from what is called "Down-winders Syndrome" from a toxic spill at the Hanford Nuclear Plant in Washington state in the 1950's. I've witnessed what this disease does to families...they slowly watch their loved ones fade away into a twisted collage of emotional and physical deterioration that no human should ever have to endure.
Now, to add insult to injury, the FDA has just approved a new drug that supposedly helps MS patients walk faster; I wonder if those that approved it are actually taking some kind of mind-altering drug? Click to continue reading...

"Diseases of the Well-fed"....including Viruses, of course!
When we hear about people becoming victims of poliovirus, for instance, we most often believe it’s a disease that peaked many decades ago, and we don’t have to concern ourselves with its probability….that is not the current reality with polio nor other emerging viruses! Click to continue reading...
Many of my readers and patients believe that as long as they're using a TOPICAL medication, it "must not be toxic." I am constantly in awe that the FDA is constantly looking for ways to put down non-drug therapies and remedies, yet the substances that keep popping-up as the most dangerous are those approved by the same organization that "claims" they're only goal is to protect us consumers.
These facts have never been more pointed than the recent announcement by the FDA that a topical gel prescribed for arthritis-type pain, known as Dicoflenac Gel (brand name Voltaren Gel), is linked to SEVERE liver damage - and this toxicity can appear within the first month of use!...Click to continue reading...

Back by popular demand, I am offering a one-hour FREE TeleSeminar for expectant mothers, mothers, grandmothers, and all those who care enough about children's health.
It takes staying on top of the latest natural health information in order to know what products, foods, and environmental toxins we must avoid; many hidden under legal aliases. I've dedicated my life to uncovering hidden clues to health challenges and to further my commitment of Health thru Education. In that vein, we're beginning a TeleSeminar series on various topics that are no charge to you other than the phone call.
For instance, did you know studies reveal what scientists now believe is the major cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), otherwise known as crib death? Understanding the causes and the easy solutions puts the parents back in control. Everything your child consumes or is exposed to is a potential toxin. There ARE safe non-toxic options for everything in this day and age.

De-Scents-itize Your Home
Did you know…
Current research shows 3 in 5 people respond negatively to synthetic fragrances? Click to continue reading...

A five-year study, conducted by Kaiser Permanente, in factory workers found that those exposed to BPA had quadruple risk of erectile dysfunction, and seven times more risk of ejaculation difficulty, compared to workers were no BPA was present.
Previous to this study of over 634 factory workers, the only studies conducted to assess the health effects of BPA on the male reproductive system was done on mice and rats. Now, science has proof that exposure to BPA negatively affects the male reproductive system; the same as studies show it affects hormone disruption in children and woman.
“The BPA-exposed workers had a nearly four-fold increased risk of reduced sexual desire and overall satisfaction with their sex life, greater than four-fold increased risk of erection difficulty, and more than seven-fold increased risk of ejaculation difficulty”, stated one of the researchers.
"Because the BPA levels in this study were very high, more research needs to be done to see how low a level of BPA exposure may have effects on our reproductive system," according to lead author Dr De-Kun Li, a reproductive and perinatal epidemiologist at Kaiser Permanente's Division of Research.
"This study raises the question: Is there a safe level for BPA exposure, and what is that level? More studies like this, which examine the effect of BPA on humans, are critically needed to help establish prevention strategies and regulatory policies."
"Because the BPA levels in this study were very high, more research needs to be done to see how low a level of BPA exposure may have effects on our reproductive system."
He added that the study could have implications beyond male impotence as this could be a “sensitive early indicator for adverse BPA effects than other disease endpoints that are more difficult to study, such as cancer or metabolic diseases”.
Some petroleum-based plastics leach harmful chemicals into foods and drinks, especially when plastic comes in contact with oily or fatty foods, during heating and microwaving, as a result of harsh cleaners and very hot water (like in dishwashers), and when exposed to excessive moisture.
Unfortunately, BPA can activate estrogen receptors that lead to the same effects as the body's own estrogens. Some hormone disrupting effects in studies on animals and human cancer cells have been shown to occur at levels as low as 2-5 parts per billion. These health problems include lowered sperm count and infertile sperm in men, and exposure during development has been proven to have carcinogenic effects and produce precursors of breast cancer. BPA has been shown to have induced developmental toxicity, carcinogenic effects, and possible neurotoxicity.
BPA has been found at elevated levels in women with a history of miscarriage. In lab animals, it has been shown to increase the risk of developing breast cancer; causes aberrations in the chromosomes of grandchildren of rats exposed during pregnancy; and increases the susceptibility of male rats to prostate cancer, among other effects.
Where BPA is Commonly Found
What exactly is Bisphenol-A? It was first made in 1891, and was investigated for use as a replacement for estrogen. It is used in the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics (often identified by the recycling number 7), which find service in a variety of applications, especially food and drink packaging. These include:
Common Metal Coatings – liners of food cans (6 billion pounds a year), inside lining of water pipes
Dental Fillings & Sealants – regardless of how low the exposure level may be, BPA is a toxic substance that shouldn’t be used in any consumer products. This is not the sort of chemical that we should be putting in people’s mouths, particularly those of children. BPA is, after all, the chemical that
Baby Bottles – the hard plastic ones.
Water Coolers and Bottles, Tableware and Food Storage Containers – when dealing with breakdown products that can leach out of materials, your best bet is to try to stay clear of items that are worn and old, especially if they have scratches. Also, heating up plastics can increase the likelihood of BPA and other compounds coming out.
The Environmental Working Group published a survey of BPA in U.S. canned foods and found BPA in over half of 97 cans of name-brand fruit, tuna, vegetables, soft drinks, and other commonly eaten canned goods.
They also found:
√ Opt for plastic alternatives – glass, ceramic that’s lead-free, and stainless steel whenever possible.
√ Use glass or ceramic containers if you must microwave food.
√ Be cautious of cling wraps, especially for microwave use. Wrap foods in butcher paper, waxed paper, or paper towels, better yet, store food in glass or ceramic.
√ Avoid using plastics that aren’t identified on the packaging.
√ Look for products that state “no phthalates” or “no bisphenol A (BPA).”
√ Wash plastic containers by hand with a mild soap, not the dishwasher.
BPA is found in polycarbonate plastic food containers often marked on the bottom with the letters "PC" recycling label #7. Not all #7 labeled products are polycarbonate but this is a reasonable guideline for a category of plastics to avoid.
Safer products and uses: When possible, it’s best to avoid #7 plastics, especially for children's food. Plastics with the recycling labels #1, #2 and #4 on the bottom are safer choices and do not contain BPA. Soft or cloudy-colored plastic does not contain BPA. Many metal water bottles are lined with a plastic coating that contains BPA. Look for stainless steel bottles that do not have a plastic liner.
Salute to
This past summer, the city by the bay banned all plastic water bottles within the city limits, including those from commercial water dispensers frequently found in offices. The city fathers are doing justice to both the health of their population AND mother nature by not having to dispose of all those toxic water bottles that stay in the ground for more centuries than we care to count.
AVOID BPA at any cost, stay informed – read labels and be proactive rather than reactive, Naturally.
The Way I See It...
My research shows that all men over the age of 40 should support their prostate health with a natural supplement that will provide a comprehensive blend of minerals and standarized herbal extracts designed to support healthy prostate function. The supplement should encourage healthy testosterone-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) balance while supporting enhanced control of bladder function and targeted nutriton for bladder and prostate tissues. The professional product used with most success by my clients is BioProstate.
