Beginning with this newsletter, I'm going to change the format....in that there will be sections for everyone who subscribes to my lists or is a patient of mine.

I will have an area for "Adult Health Zone", "Children's Corner", "The Pet's Nook" and "Planetary Concerns". That way you can home in on what you want...or read it all...and learn a lot!

Hope you enjoy the new style!

Adults' Health Zone:

Due to constant questions re heart health, I've recently put up three new cardiac pages. People seem to be interested in the statistics on heart attacks, the testing they are usually required to do and more natural solutions to optimizing their heart and cardiovascular's (heart and blood system) state of well being.

These pages can be read here.. Cardiac Health

Its for a similar reason that I've also added a larger, more complete page in the Y2K Store on liver...covering functions, disease and again, many suggestions for natural solutions to take care of this busy and crucial organ.

Read the new information here.. Liver

WHAT DOES A YEAST INFECTION LOOK LIKE?

Although most people when they hear the words yeast infection...readily associate it with vaginal infections...and the miserable itching, burning and discharges that go with it, these nuisance infections can erupt in other areas of the body as well.

What appears to be a "rash" is often yeast. These appear under the breasts, in the groin, in the mouth, webs of hands and feet, in the armpit and on the penis.

Here are a few picture of what a yeast infection looks like and links to other pictures. Warning..some of these are NOT for the faint of heart! Click on the blue links for more pictures.

HOME TREATMENT FOR YEAST INFECTION

Although many of the symptoms of the above yeast infections are on the surface..itching, burning, painful, etc...the REAL treatment must come from within.

Yeast problems begin with an overgrowth of pathological yeast in the digestive tract. The actual cause of its ability to grow rampant, I believe starts with an imbalance in our normal flora or bacterial cultures ("the good guys"), enzyme deficiency,and immune inadequacy.

You can effectively manage this as a home treatment for yeast by following this plan:

FNGL Formula...to kill the yeast in the digestive tract..1 per meal

Probiotics Plus (No FOS)..2 on rising and 3 at bedtime

Digestive Enzymes..M7+..1-2 per meal

Oreganum Plus...3 drops 2X per day in a little juice..this is spicy tasting..so mix it in a small amount of liquid and drink it quickly.

 

DID YOU KNOW???.....

'Smells Like Rotten Eggs...."

Few if any of us has actually smelled a rotten egg. Why?..Unless there is a crack in the shell, eggs can be left out on a desk for months and when opened, still smell fine. Although the contents would have shrunk, they would not be "rotten".

The lowly egg, you see, has protective coatings on the outside (cuticle) and two on the inside chamber. The albumen (protein) of the egg white also possesses antibacterial factors such as particular enzymes (lysosomes) which kill off bacterial attack.

When the egg is broken open..then its "smorgasbord" time for the bacteria. Although the albumen is about 88% water and 11% protein..over half of the protein is ovalbumin which has over 3,000 molecules and only 6 molecules of sulphur.

But, man what a job that little sulphur can do when it converts to the gas hydrogen sulphide! Its a gas that is as toxic as hydrogen cyanide..the gas used in execution chambers..but because it smells SO bad...no one hangs around long enough to be poisoned by it!

There is no formation of hydrogen sulphide without fermentation by bacteria. So, as long as the egg is not opened..no gas!

Children's Corner:

I love Mike Adams' site...here is one of his recent postings which I feel is of critical importance to all parents:

Number of overweight babies up 74 percent as obesity skyrockets in expectant mothers

A new study by researchers at Harvard Medical School shows that over a 22-year period, the number of overweight babies born to U.S. mothers has increased by nearly 74 percent.

"Even our youngest children are gaining excess weight, not just adults and adolescents," says Dr. Matthew Gillman, the study's lead author and associate professor of ambulatory care and prevention at Harvard. Gillman says his study suggests that "obesity prevention efforts need to start at the earliest stages of human development."

The researchers believe a number of factors contribute to the increase in fat babies, including the fact that more American women are entering pregnancy overweight and then developing gestational diabetes, and more babies are being overfed in the first few months after birth, which leads to rapid weight gain.... Read More

This is becoming a HUGE concern. Recent stats have reported that in the US (and I'm sure Canada is not far behind)..67% of the population are obese!!

Metagenics..being the aware and progressive company that they are have actually spend a small fortune in time and finances to address this problem. Below is a press release about it:

Metagenics Responds to Childhood Metabolic Syndrome
& Obesity Crises with Therapeutic Lifestyle Program

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., June 5, 2006 — Metagenics, Inc., a privately held company focused on developing and manufacturing science-based nutraceuticals, announced today a new therapeutic lifestyle changes program, the Ultracare First Start™ Medical Food Program, created in response to the growing childhood metabolic syndrome and obesity epidemics. According to recent statistics, about one in eight school children have three or more risk factors of metabolic syndrome—such as obesity, insulin resistance, and/or high blood pressure—while the rate of childhood obesity has more than tripled in the last three decades.

“The mounting childhood metabolic syndrome and obesity crises pose serious threats to our nation’s health—and threaten to decrease life expectancy for future generations of Americans for the first time in 100 years; the time for action is now,” according to Dr. Robert H. Lerman, MD, PhD, the lead clinician at Metagenics’ Washington-based research clinic, the Functional Medicine Research Center. “We created the Ultracare First Start Program to offer parents an easy solution for incorporating the components of a healthy lifestyle—such as a low-glycemic-index diet, regular exercise, and appropriate nutritional support—into their children’s daily routine.”

The Ultracare First Start Program is one of Metagenics’ successful therapeutic lifestyle changes programs patterned after the UltraMeal Medical Food Program for adults, which has already helped thousands of patients cope with obesity-related health conditions. The program has been designed to be as simple as possible for young participants, and uses a simple “1-2-3” approach to help children start their day with proper nutrition and participate in healthful daily activities.

“We understand that eating a nutritious diet and maintaining good health can be a difficult challenge, especially for children bombarded with advertisements for sugary cereals and snacks, and busy parents struggling to cook three healthy meals every day,” added Dr. Lerman. “The Ultracare First Start Medical Food fills this niche, giving families on the go a convenient meal option that tastes great and helps children get back on the path to good health.”

The Ultracare First Start Program, which includes Ultracare First Start Medical Food, is designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of children, as well as to provide an easy and convenient way to address nutrition and lifestyle concerns that are contributing to the childhood metabolic syndrome and obesity crises.

DID YOU KNOW????....

Ice cream story....if you put a cup of ice cream in the fridge overnight....would you have a cup of slop in the morning?? Nope! Only 1/2 cup!

Where did the rest go?? Its air...and you're paying ice cream prices for it.

Federal regulations allow for up to "100% overrun"..but no more. What does that mean? It simply stated, means that a manufacturer can add up to 100% extra air volume to its ingredients and be legal. Air supposedly adds smoothness..so the government allows for up to an equal amount of air to be added to the "mix" which actually makes the ice cream a product whose volume can be doubled by just adding air....unbelievable!

The Pet's Nook

To any one of you who have read my Pet Pages...or visited my new website.. Homeopathy For Kennel Cough ..the fact that I'm completely endorsing Mike's book "Pet Health: How to secure your pet’s long-term health, safety and welfare" will come as no surprise.

To quote Mike, when he let me know about his new book:

"If you saw the headlines about the recent Diamond Pet Food scandal, you know that pet food toxins can be deadly. Nearly 100 dogs died from eating contaminated dog food before the company recalled 34 million pounds of poisonous kibble. That story made headlines around the world, but the real story on pet food remains untold: That common pet food ingredients -- even those found in expensive, brand-name foods -- may be harming your pet right now.


Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. Before I began to pursue nutrition and holistic health, I had a beloved family dog who died from diabetes complications. Only later did I learn that diabetes and cancer have skyrocketed in pets over the last ten years. That's because pet food is now filled with many of the same unhealthy ingredients that are causing these diseases to reach epidemic proportions in the human population.

For example, check your pet food right now for "rice" or "white rice. " This is a cheap filler ingredient that actually promotes blood sugar disorders in dogs and cats, just like it does in people. Except that dogs and cats are even more susceptible to the detrimental effects of refined white rice because their digestive systems require far more protein (and fewer carbohydrates) than humans.

So why are pet food companies putting white rice into pet food? Because it's a cheap filler ingredient, and most pet food companies are more interested in selling cans of food than protecting your pet's health."

He also gives a partial list of what is in the book:

Which common preservative has been linked to spleen, stomach and
liver cancer as well as immune deficiency syndrome.

* How to verify that your dog or cat food meets the Association of
American Feed Control Officials' nutrition standards.

* Which commercial dog food brands contain the healthiest mix of
ingredients.

* How to determine if your pets' food has the appropriate percentage
of protein, fat, and fiber.

* Which grains are best (or worst!) for pets.

*How to decide if commercially prepared, alternative, or raw pet
foods are best for you and your pet.

* Why you should never feed your dog cooked bones.

* How to prepare raw food for your pet (animals in nature don't cook
their food!).

* Why your dog needs plenty of vegetables, but not high-glycemic
foods.

* How supplements may benefit your dog or cat.

In addition to this important nutritional information, "The Real Safety Guide to Pet Health" provides tips on exercising pets, seasonal hazards, common house plants that can poison animals, and cleaning products that need to be kept away from animals.  The guide also explains how to prepare an emergency kit to treat your pet if he or she is accidentally poisoned. You'll even learn how to give your dog CPR, a technique that can save their life, just like in humans.

This book is VERY reasonably priced...and I sincerely believe every pet owner should have it and follow it.

Planetary Concerns

Bird Flu and Home Preparations

As the flu season approaches, preparing for untold scenarios becomes of prime importance..world-wide.

Since the 2003 H5N1 outbreaks, experts have been saying that if the disease becomes easily transmitted between humans, a devastating pandemic will kill millions, but Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said it is not a matter of if a flu pandemic is coming, but when.

"The worst thing we can do is not prepare and think it will not happen," Osterholm said, but added, "The truth of the matter is, there's a lot we can do about it."

Osterholm -- who is a consultant for the U.S. departments of Homeland Security and Human Services and has been on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and CNN's "Nightline" to talk about flu pandemics -- addressed an audience at a town hall meeting in Illinois and said that history shows that a new pandemic strikes the world at least every 50 years. The last such pandemic was the Hong Kong flu -- H3N2 -- which took approximately 700,000 lives worldwide, about 40,000 of which were in the United States alone.

The H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has already killed 141 people worldwide without mutating to a human-to-human strain, is likely to be the next devastating pandemic to sweep the globe, experts say. When it does, Osterholm said it is likely to kill at least 2.7 million people -- maybe as many as 360 million -- and people will probably have to take care of themselves as the devastation completely overpowers state and federal emergency management plans.

So what home preparations can one make?

I sincerely do NOT believe the flu vaccine is of any use..whatsoever. In fact because of it containing mercury and formaldehyde, I can only see it harming one's health.

For our patients we are following this plan:

Homeopathic Flu Prevention Programme:

1 vial of Thymuline on the first of each month...and 1 vial of Influenzinum for 5 weeks (until all the vials are gone) and that's it for that one.

Beta Gold - 500 mg. 1 or 2 per day...I personally take two as I'm exposed to so many "buggy" people.

Probiotics Plus (no FOS)..to keep the normal gut flora up..this is your first line of defense.

This issue is NOT about vaccine...its about building the immune system to fight viral attack. Our programme works...that's it....that's all.

Till the next time!

Warmly,
Dr. Deb
