Longevity
Posted August 29, 2018
So how do you know if living right pays off? It is widely accepted that regular exercise, keeping your weight right and avoiding tobacco all reduce health risks across the board. Vegetarian meals and vitamin supplements also carry clear benefits. But what do you say to the almost inevitable comment that so-and-so did everything wrong and still lived to the age of 96?

Vitamin C May Mean the Difference Between Life & Death to You
Posted August 29, 2018
A growing body of evidence suggests paramedics skip the traditional aspirin tablet and start giving Vitamin-C pills to those who survive a sudden cardiac arrest. Every day in the U.S. over 1000 people experience a sudden cardiac arrest. And another 1000 occur throughout Europe daily. As researchers report from the Amsterdam in the Netherlands, only half of these patients arrive at the hospital alive. And 50% of these survivors will still die or be severely disabled due to what is called post-cardiac arrest syndrome. Read more.
The Potential Dark Side of the Routine Newborn Vitamin K Shot
Posted August 29, 2018
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the foremost expert in the world on vitamin K, Dr. Cees Vermeer, PhD, Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Maastricht (in The Netherlands). I am thrilled to be able to share with you some of the latest information about vitamin K that he shared with me. While this injection itself may be inappropriate for reasons I will cover in detail, vitamin K is absolutely necessary for your newborn. However, there are safer and non-invasive ways to normalize your baby’s vitamin K levels that don’t require a potentially damaging injection. Read more.
Judges: Smart Meters are 4th Amendment ‘Search’
Posted August 29, 2018
Privacy and health activists long have raised opposition to smart meters – the technological wizards that monitor power usage in a home, sometimes on a minute-by-minute basis, and report it to the utility that owns them. And sometimes others. Now an appeals court has affirmed that their readings constitute a “search” under the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which establishes “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” But the judges also found that the “search” that was done by the devices was “reasonable.” Read more.
Oxalate Overload: How it Affects Your Gut, Urinary Tract, and Risk of Autoimmune Conditions
Posted August 29, 2018
In personalized lifestyle medicine, sometimes one person’s superfood is another person’s poison. Such is the case with oxalates, which are found in high concentrations in many presumed health foods. Once I started testing, I realized that many of my patients were experiencing the downstream consequences of excess oxalate intake, usually in the form of green smoothies full of spinach, kale, and other greens.

FDA Hides Information on Glyphosate in Vaccines
Posted August 29, 2018
Moms Across America finally received a response back from the FDA via the CDC regarding our Freedom of Information Act (FOI) for any and all information they have exchanged or filed regarding glyphosate in vaccines. (See original report here) First, we informed the FDA we found glyphosate in vaccines and asked the FDA and CDC to test for glyphosate in vaccines. They did not address that request in their response. Then I filed a FOI to request any and all information they had on glyphosate in vaccines. I wanted to know if they tested ( and just didn’t tell us), or who decided not to test, and what information they had on glyphosate in vaccines. Read more.

Glyphosate Sprayed on GMO Crops Linked to Lake Erie’s Toxic Algae Bloom
Posted August 29, 2018
For years now, Lake Erie- one of the five Great Lakes- has had to deal with algae blooms similar to those we are dealing with in Florida. And now, glyphosate has been linked to those blooms. (And just like in Florida, the algae is killing aquatic life and fouling up the drinking water.) Read more.
West Texas Vineyards Blasted by Herbicide Drift from Nearby Cotton Fields
Posted August 29, 2018
On the High Plains in West Texas, hot winds blast through cotton fields as far as the eye can see. In the middle of it all is a tiny vineyard. Andis Applewhite is the owner. She’s an artist whose family has worked this land for a century. They once planted crops more typical of the neighborhood, like cotton and wheat. Applewhite decided to try something different: She put in a couple of acres of cabernet franc grapes. Read more.
