Now food producers have completely stripped away your freedom to opt-out of eating genetically modified foods.

• Chips and other snacks… full of GMOs.
• Baked goods and packaged meals… they have GMOs too.
• Cooking from scratch? You still can't get away from GMOs. They're in flour. They're in whole-grains. They're in meat. They're in fruit. They're in vegetables.

Do some due diligence... you will find that they are everywhere!

GMOs now exist in  even  healthy and organic foods: You've no doubt heard how grass-fed beef is significantly better than “normal” meat. Or how grass-fed beef has a superior taste and far more nutrition. And that's all true.

…Except now we have a bigger problem:

Grass has been genetically modified too! Cows will eat this grass, and big food producers sell the beef to you as “grass-fed” and “all-natural”. But, it's anything but that! The pesticides from the GMO grass accumulate in the cow, leaving you with toxic meat.

So what can you do? How can you stay healthy? How can you fight the damage these GMOs cause to your body? Well, let's talk about exactly how you can “undo” the effect of these GMOs.

“Eating organic” now just isn't enough!

Birds, bees, and wind spread GMO seeds and pollen miles away. These air-bourne seeds go on to contaminate other farm fields… even those farmed organically or without pesticides.

Just recently, researchers found genetically modified corn growing “intermixed” with heirloom, native varieties of corn in a remote village — high in the mountains of Mexico. The nearest farm that ever had any GMO crops was in a valley over 60 miles away!

In other words, even the safe foods we recommended you rely on… may not actually be that safe!

So if you can't fully avoid GMOs, you need to do something to counteract the damage they cause (especially in your children). You need something that ensures their bodies create new, healthy cells faster than the GMOs can destroy them. Superfoods like Acai, Chorella, Spirulina, and beet root are some common ones . Maybe you've even heard of some of them before. Anyways, these superfoods are packed with healthy vitamins and minerals.  Our Green's First product contains 49 different superfoods.  We have FREE samples in our office so please request some!  These foods help your body to detoxify these chemicals the moment they hit.  The second way is to grow an extremely healthy and proactive gut and immune system for the same reason.

What's great about this is that these superfoods guarantee your child gets the “building blocks” it needs to repair and replace cells damaged by GMOs.

If you're a mother, you know how just important it is for kids to get proper nutrition. And these superfoods are full of all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, Omega-3 essential fatty acids, and antioxidants that…

• Flood their body with energy so they can play, grow, and learn
• Kick their metabolism into high gear (so they can keep up with other kids)
• Sweep away the toxins in your body… leaving them feeling lively and alert

These “Superfoods” are great at what they do but there's even a better option.  This option is called YES!  According to the FES society this formula was developed during the Chernoble disaster.  According to Patricia Kaminski this formula results in an adaptive response to the various environmental insults we experience such as all forms of geopathic stress, residual effects of past exposure, dysfunctional immune response and allergic hypersensitivities of all kinds.  While no license to ignore your lifestyle, I do believe it can be extremely advantageous as an accoutrement to a great lifestyle in terms of mitigating the things we cannot control in the environment.  Daily usage is recommended for some time with then occasional use.  Let us know if we can help you with this or any other matter.  Best of Health!

If you have chronic symptoms of vaginal dryness which have not responded to our recommended vaginal suppositories in part I of this series, http://www.apple-a-day-clinic.com/15.html?m8:post=a-natural-cure-for-vaginal-dryness,  it may be the case that you have an estrogen deficiency, which can lead to vaginal dryness and predispose you to frequent urinary tract infections (UTI's).  This is a common situation which I see frequently in my clinic.

Some of my clients have then had great success with  a bio identical estriol vaginal cream to help vaginal irritation, dryness, and frequent UTI's (cystitis). It may be all you need for your vaginal dryness and UTI's.

Estriol (E3) is a bioidentical hormone that is produced in women's bodies in large amounts by the placenta during pregnancy and in relatively small amounts by the liver and other fat tissue. Sometimes called the "forgotten estrogen," estriol is considered to be the most therapeutic estrogen for the vaginal lining, cervix and vulvar tissues, but exerts only a weak effect elsewhere in the body. Estriol is quite good at "plumping up" these delicate tissues to reverse vaginal dryness, irritation and atrophy.  This is available in our store  or from a compounding pharmacy, usually at much higher cost.

A second, stronger form of estrogen known as estradiol (E2) is also sometimes prescribed to treat inflammation of the vagina (atrophic vaginitis). Bioidentical estradiol is commercially available in regular pharmacies in the form of vaginal cream (brand name Estrace), vaginal tablets (Vagifem), and an insertable vaginal ring (Estring, which needs to be changed every three months). Bioidentical estradiol is also available from compounding pharmacies with a prescription from your M.D.

Depending on the severity of your symptoms, one of the above bioidentical options may be just right for you. You will need to work with your health care provider for a while to get the right dosage. One advantage to using compounded bioidentical hormones is that your healthcare provider can customize your dose, combining hormones as necessary, expressly to meet your needs. Women past menopause should usually combine estrogen with progesterone therapy.  Full scale hormonal testing is available to test the adrenals as well as the sex hormones for around $450.   Please schedule an appointment if you have questions or would like testing. You can also visit the bioidentical hormone section of my natural pharmacy.

We have just developed our own brand products beginning with the estriol and probiotics as well as many other wonderful supplements.  Please stop in or call us and request a catalogue of our offerings.

Hi, I will post the article on natural tips for healthy teeth next week but I saw this and knew that many of you would be very interested in this obscure piece of interesting research!  We will pick up our normally scheduled articles next Wednesday!

According to a new small study by the Weizmann Institute of Science, children with autism might experience smells differently from children who have typical development.

Researchers say a smell test could help detect children with autism. "We can identify autism and its severity with meaningful accuracy within less than 10 minutes using a test that is completely non-verbal and entails no task to follow," researcher Noam Sobel informs us.

The study measured the sniff response of children to pleasant and unpleasant odors. Kids without autism usually adjust their sniffing very quickly - within about 305 milliseconds - while children diagnosed with autism reacted much slower.

No doubt this will prove interesting to many clinicians and parents hoping for a non invasive, simple way to identify children at risk.

DRY, Brittle Breaking Hair...What to do about it!

DRY scalp, dry hair and hair breakage are often the first signs of hair loss and other health issues. 

As a young child , and most of my life , I had very dry brittle hair, like STRAW that was fragile and would break. It just came out of my head that way.  It amazes my hairdresser and friends who have known me for awhile to see how luxurious thick  and healthy my hair has become!

Apart from many other possible causes, brittle hair may be a symptom of, or aggravated by, deficiency of certain nutrient(s).  This could be a direct result of the lack of the nutrient, or indirectly, when the deficiency causes conditions such as hypothyroidism, which leads to symptoms that include dry brittle hair.  It can also be a sign of chronic inflammation at the gut level. This I see most often. This was also my problem since I was given many antibiotics in early childhood.

The  most important hair, skin and nail vitamins that may therefore be helpful in the treatment of dry hair are tabled below, together with corresponding foods for healthy hair. Still be aware that almost ANY nutritional deficiency can cause dryness as a symptom.  It is therefore definitely key to get to the actual ROOT-no pun intended of the problem.

If dry brittle hair is also accompanied by dry skin, brittle nails or other hair problems, it could be a sign of overall nutritional deficiency.  This again is very typical of gut problems leading to multiple deficiencies of many, if not all nutrients.  This can only be remedied by proper testing, assessment and treatment b a specialist like myself.


What nutrient deficiencies can lead to brittle hair :

DIETARY ELEMENT | DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS | FOODS

Biotin   |   Biotin is recognized as one of the major hair, skin and nail vitamins.  It is often used in shampoos and other treatment for dry hair.  A deficiency of biotin can lead to brittle nails and dry brittle hair. Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Biotin : thinning of hair which may lead to total hair loss dry scaly scalp or face in infants (cradle crap), or in various parts of the body in adults mental depression insomnia intestinal tract symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting fatigue or extreme exhaustion due to impaired energy production muscle pain or cramps related to physical exertion nervo-muscular symptoms like seizures, numbness and tingling of extremities, and movements characterized by lack of muscle tone and coordination Biotin-rich foods that may contribute to the efficacy of dry hair home remedies include · organ meats such as liver · carrots · romaine lettuce · swiss chard · tomatoes.

Vitamin C   |   Vitamin C is another of the hair, skin and nail vitamins that are important in treatment for dry hair or skin.  A deficiency of vitamin C is often symptomized by dry, rough or scaly skin and dry brittle hair. Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Vitamin C : easy bruising and small spots of bleeding under the skin (which appear as pink spots on the skin) swollen or painful joints or bones slow-healing wounds and fractures nosebleeds spongy, swollen, bleeding gums and loose teeth teeth decay easily dry rough scaly skin anemia fatigue or lethargy or muscle weakness loss of appetite recurrent colds and infections atherosclerosis possible weight gain due to slower metabolism Dry hair home remedies should include high vitamin C foods for healthy hair, such as · guava · lychees / litchis · papayas · strawberries · vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, mustard greens, bell peppers, turnip greens, spinach.

Copper   |   Deficiency of copper may cause hypothyroidism (under-production of thyroid hormones) which can lead to dry brittle hair, hair loss, brittle nails, coarse dry pale skin, weight gain, intolerance to cold, fatigue, depression, irritability, poor memory, muscle or joint pain, constipation, decreased libido, heavy periods or menstrual irregularities. Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Copper : early symptoms are osteoporosis, osteopenia (lower bone mineral density than normal, but not as low as for osteoporosis) and joint problems retarded growth or abnormalities in bone development in infants and young children anemia that is characterized by lack of improvement with iron therapy alone loss of skin or hair color impaired immune function that may lead to frequent infections impaired nerve function that may lead to taste insensitivity and lack of physical coordination inelastic blood vessels that rupture easily elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower HDL (good) cholesterol levels irregular heart beat breathing difficulties skin sores Menkes disease that occurs mostly in male infants, characterized by sparse greyish or colorless twisted hair, and floppy muscle tone Copper-rich foods that can help alleviate hypothyroidism, and dry brittle hair, include · cashew nuts · dried beans like soybeans, adzuki beans, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), lentils, lima, navy beans · dried spirulina · crimini mushrooms · shiitake mushrooms · sesame seeds.

Iron   |   Iron is important for oxygenation of body tissues, and a lack of iron can lead to symptoms such as brittle nails and dry brittle hair. Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Iron : iron-deficiency anemia, with symptoms that may include headaches, dizziness, irritability, pale skin, cold hands and feet, lack of energy, rapid heartbeat, brittle nails, shortness of breath, sore or inflamed tongue or mouth, lack of appetite food cravings for inedible items such as ice, paint, starch, clay, or dirt increased intestinal inflammation or irritation depression or apathy insomnia or disturbed sleep decrease in ability to concentrate impaired mental skills that can affect memory and job performance learning disabilities and short attention spans in children irregular menstrual periods hair loss nails that are spoon-shaped or that have ridges running lengthwise higher risk of lead poisoning in children Foods rich in iron that may help prevent dry brittle hair include · animal liver · blackstrap molasses · beef · eggs (especially the yolk) · shiitake mushrooms · dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, swiss chard, turnip greens · green beans such as winged beans, string beans · dried beans like kidney beans, lentils · soybeans and soy products, especially tofu · rice bran and wheat bran.

Iodine   |   Iodine deficiency can contribute to hypothyroidism (under-production of thyroid hormones) which can lead to symptoms such as dry brittle hair, hair loss, brittle nails, coarse dry pale skin, intolerance to cold, fatigue or weakness, poor memory, depression, irritability, weight gain, muscle or joint pain, constipation, decreased libido, infertility, menstrual irregularities or heavy periods, and in more severe cases, hoarseness, decreased sense of taste and smell, mental impairment, skin thickening, and puffy face, hands or feet. Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Iodine : goiter characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland which may cause a choking feeling or difficulty with breathing and swallowing impaired immune system leading to susceptibility to infections hearing loss in children severe deficiency during pregnancy, breastfeeding or infancy can lead to neuro-cognitive defects in the baby and problems with growth, speech and hearing; a very severe form is cretinism, characterized by brain damage, speech problems, hearing loss, apathy, spasticity, and stunted growth even mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy can hamper growth of the child's brain and lead to low intelligence congenital hypothyroidism is the most common cause of mental retardation in children Foods high in iodine that help prevent hypothyroidism, and consequently dry brittle hair, include · salt-water fish · seafood and shellfish · seaweed like dulse, bladderwrack, kelp, nori · iodized table salt.

Manganese   |   Manganese is important for activating enzymes that enable the body to utilize key hair, skin and nail vitamins like vitamin C and biotin.  Lack of this nutrient can therefore contribute to excessive bone loss and weak hair and nails. Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Manganese : nausea or dizziness vomiting skin rash hearing loss iron-deficiency anemia, due to manganese's role in iron utilization high blood sugar levels (impaired glucose tolerance) blood cholesterol levels that are too low impaired bone growth or skeletal abnormalities, especially in children loss of hair colour defective functioning of the reproductive system severe deficiency in infants can cause convulsions, and even paralysis, blindness and deafness Manganese rich foods for healthy hair that may be part of dry hair home remedies include · dark green leafy vegetables (broccoli, chard, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, spinach) · avocados · pineapple · raspberries · nuts (almonds, peanuts, pecans, walnuts).

Selenium   |   Research indicates that selenium deficiency worsens the effect of iodine deficiency on thyroid function, leading to hypothyroidism with symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, irritability, depression, poor memory, weight gain, constipation, intolerance to cold, heavier or lighter menstruation than normal, coarse dry pale skin, dry brittle hair, hair loss, and brittle nails, and that selenium supplements may help protect against goiter. Other symptoms that may indicate deficiency of Selenium : weaker immune system leading to susceptibility to stress and illnesses greater incidence of cancer, especially gynecological, gastrointestinal, esophageal, lung, and prostate cancer rheumatoid arthritis patients tend to have low blood levels of selenium elevated blood pressure risk of arteriosclerosis / atherosclerosis (hardening and/or narrowing of the arteries), leading to heart or coronary artery disease loose skin hair or skin discoloration whitened fingernail beds Keshan disease (heart disorder characterized by inflamed heart muscles) Kashin-Beck disease (disabling disease of bones and joints, characterized by stunted growth, bone deterioration, and deformity of joints) severe deficiency along with malnutrition can cause muscle breakdown characterized by pain or weakness in the muscles Selenium-rich foods that alleviate iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism include · Brazil nuts (one of the most concentrated selenium food sources) · mushrooms (button, shiitake, reishi) · fish (cod, flounder, halibut, herring, mackerel, salmon, smelts, red snapper, swordfish, tuna) · seafood (lobster, oyster, scallops, shellfish, shrimp).

It takes MANY,  MANY months of treatment and even years sometimes to resolve these issues.  You have to be willing to do what it takes to resolve your underlying health issues. With my clients, I treat the gut issue for months before even attempting to resolve  nutrititional deficiencies.

If you see it through, I am certain you will be very proud of your crowning glory!  Let us know if you would like to discuss your situation and treatment options.

Goodbye gluten, hello Mycotoxin. This mold byproduct has been lurking in everything from dog foods to coffee  and is poised to become the next health buzzword. I have known this for several years and have avoided grains for about a decade for this very reason.

Following a lawsuit alleging that thousands of dogs may have been poisoned by mycotoxins, a toxic mold byproduct found in grains, a new study places them in an even more threatening location: breakfast cereals

Published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry by Hyun Jung Lee and Dojin Ryu of the University of Idaho's School of Food Science, the paper, “Significance of Ochratoxin A in Breakfast Cereals from the United States,” is the latest in a long series of studies.

Throughout a period of two years, Lee and Ryu tested 489 samples of grain-based cereals from seven different markets across the country, looking for the presence of Ochratoxin A (OCA), the most common of mycotoxins, and one that is “considered to be a potent renal carcinogen.” OCA has also demonstrated neurotoxic and immunosuppressant effects, and is suspected as a trigger for autism, especially in males.

Of the 489 samples, 205, or 42 percent, showed OCA contamination, though almost all of them were well below the European Commission Regulations of 3 nanograms per gram, or roughly 3 parts per billion. The paper gives a nod to the EC Regulation limits because our own U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not impose any limits on mycotoxin content in food products.

Only 16 samples, all oat-based, were above the ECR threshold. Their study found that oat-based cereals contained the highest OCA contamination, at 70 percent. It was followed by wheat-based, at 32 percent, and then corn and rice-based, both at 15 percent.

OCA is produced mainly by two different fungi, Aspergillus Ochraceus and Penicillium Verrucosum, and is one of the most widespread mycotoxin contaminants–aside from grains, it can also be found in coffee, grapes, wine, pork, and water damaged homes.I have worked with patients damaged by mycotoxins in their homes and they are absolutely devastating to health. OCA's host molds need only a combination of high moisture and temperature to occur, and grains can become contaminated in both the field and in storage.

It is incredibly hardy.

Like most mycotoxins, it remains stable at normal food processing temperatures of 176 – 248 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning that OCA doesn't simply cook off . Comparisons between this study and others like it also show little difference between conventional and organic samples; both appear to be equally as susceptible to contamination.

What are the ramifications of this?

“[The] quick answer to that question is we don't know yet,” admitted Ryu via email. “We tested all products/commodities that may be contaminated with the toxin including infant cereal, dried fruits, beer, wine, coffee, etc. It would take another year to assess the data and to say if there is any health risk for the public.”

It should be noted that mycotoxins and OCA aren't a new thing—a quick Google search will reveal  a body of research studies on the substances, and their suspected effects, going back decades. And while conflicting info abounds  the fact that they present, on some level, a human threat at least in high concentrations does appear real. This is why Ryu and Lee hope that the results of their research spur an intensification of surveillance, especially on oats and oat-based products, which are consumed daily on a large scale.

One review is that thus far  2015 has spawned several mycotoxin red flags, linking them to everything from sick pets to declining dairy milk yields to reduced efficiency in poultry egg quality. Food Safety Magazine declared them “a food safety crisis,” and the “cause of 30-60 percent of food and feed rejections at European Union borders.”

I think it is important for consumers to DEMAND this budding research be potentiated and to DEMAND a health food supply once and for all from our government.

A Firestorm of controversy regarding the relatively new, 2006, vaccine for HPV Gardasil begins in Europe.

In March 2015, a Danish national television station (TV2) aired a documentary focusing on girls who suspected they had been injured by the HPV vaccine Gardasil. Immediately after the airing of the show, girls with similar experiences started coming out of the woodwork. Virtually all of the girls had the same story to tell. 

According to the reporting authorities, they began to have serious new medical conditions shortly after using Gardasil, so they would go to the doctor. Some of these users have been referred out for psychological evaluation. Others have been diagnosed with  POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) a suspected side effect of HPV vaccines. It is characterized by periods of unconsciousness and even seizures.

Since many have been sent for psych evaluation and treatment it is unknown how many victims really exist.

Serious Adverse Reactions Reach One in 500 

Denmark is divided into five healthcare regions. On June 1, the government established a single point of entrance in each one of these regions to accept and examine anyone suspected of having a negative reaction to Gardasil. The response was overwhelming. 

The influx of girls seeking care was 60% higher than expected, suggesting the harmful effects was greater than Danish health authorities had foreseen. By June 9th, the waiting list to be evaluated was at least six to nine months long.  Two of the five centers did not know how long the girls would have to wait.  This may suggest that Gardasil may harbor side effects that were not anticipated.  I will keep you posted when more is known.

Additionally, Dr Dahlbergue,  a former physician for Merck the manufacturer of the vaccine has predicted that the vaccine would become the "greatest medical scandal of all time" crediting it for Illnesses like: Guilllain- Barre  syndrome and  limb paralysis.
