An Invisible Source of Pollution and What to Do About It

Do you suffer from headaches, fatigue, ear ringing, heart palpitations, insomnia, dizziness, hair loss, inability to focus and concentrate, infertility, depression or anxiety? Wow, I know, this is quite a list – it’s also the most common health issues related to electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) and non-ionizing microwave radiation (RFR).  To give you a clearer idea of what I am talking about, take a look below:

EMF Sources: Utility and home wiring, electric appliances, computers, entertainment systems, fluorescent lighting and all electronics within one’s sleeping environment (plug-in clock radio…)

RFR Sources: Cell phone towers, smart phones, Wi-Fi, cordless phones, Wi-Fi printers, SmartMeters, urban radar devices, CFL light bulbs, dirty electricity, and laptops/iPads with wireless capability

Why are EMF and RFR an important topic?

There are more studies showing negative EMF health effects than there are for smoking. Yep, read that again!

Consider the increase in usage of electronics and wireless devices that expose us to ever-increasing amounts of EMFs and RFRs.  Because they are invisible and mysterious, it is easy to ignore the potential health hazards. However, more and more people in our society are becoming sensitive to these fields and it is important to make sure our home and work environments are free of this form of pollution.   Continue reading

Preserving Organic Power

My friend Rudi runs a special campaign called the POP Campaign – preserving organic power. They are heavily invested in efforts to get genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) labelled in California. Many of you signed the petition; which is a great step in the right direction, so if you signed it, thank you!

In a recent conversation with Rudi, he explained to me that a petition signature is worth 1 vote; but a hand-written letter to your local senator is worth many, many votes…

Multiply the value of your vote; hand write a letter to Senator Boxer, asking for her support to protect organic foods by getting GE foods labeled, ASAP!

Here’s a Sample Letter

It’s Spring Cleansing Time

A detoxification in spring helps us release the accumulations from winter, as well as to rid harmful environmental toxins and waste from unhealthy eating habits. This year’s cleanse is inspired by my recent experience at the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida. They have been at the forefront of detoxification practices and living food for optimal wellness for 56 years.

If you’d like to do a cleanse, this is what I suggest as the backbone, then, see the optional add-ons below.

Vital News about CoQ10

UbiquinolDo you take CoQ10 as a supplement?

What most people (including your doctor) don’t know and what your doctor likely won’t tell you, is that if you are over 35, you have probably lost the ability to absorb CoQ10 soft gels in the form that is most commonly sold. And, if you take statin drugs, you need to supplement the enzyme CoQ10.

The absorbable form of CoQ10 is called Ubiquinol. We are now carrying this at the clinic. Learn more about CoQ10 and Ubiquinol.
