The opinions
of the experts are constantly changing. The correct treatment this
year is often the wrong treatment next year. When choosing an approach,
treatment, or therapy, try to pick the one that poses the smallest
risk of harm. When your done mulling it over in your mind, listen
to your heart before making your decision, because “woman’s
intuition” is invaluable. Always remember, doctors cause more
deaths every year than traffic accidents, so choose carefully.

| Antiperspirants/Deodorants &
Detoxification Just the other day I had a phone conversation with a patient, and the need for the use of an antiperspirant came up. My nurse was present and both the patient and Cindy, my nurse/receptionist, thought it would be a good idea to put the information in a newsletter, so here goes. First, you need to appreciate that we live in a very toxic industrialized society. It is an unfortunate fact that the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the foods we eat contribute to our increasing levels of ill health. The body has natural mechanisms to rid itself of toxic chemical overload, which in a natural environment work quite efficiently. However, in our chemically overloaded environment, our livers and kidneys are often overwhelmed, and a third line of detoxification is brought into play. That third line of detoxification is the skin. Perspiration has been turned into a cosmetic problem with a negative image by the companies that make antiperspirants; nevertheless, perspiration is normal, and when it is interfered with problems can result. Perspiration is an odorless secretion that becomes a mechanism of excretion when the toxic load is too great for the liver and kidneys to handle. When your sweat is loaded with toxic chemicals it becomes food for the trillions of bacteria that normally reside on your skin. They gorge themselves on your waste and then eliminate their waste, and it smells. That bacterial waste smell is called body odor. If you're healthy, your sweat doesn't smell. Body odor is an excellent sign that your detox mechanisms are overwhelmed. Unfortunately, most Americans stink when they sweat. You should be able to use a deodorant and have no problems with body odor. Most deodorants are just a little topical chemical drying agent with a touch of fragrance. If your body odor overwhelms your deodorant you are in the process of getting sick, or you already are. Antiperspirants stop sweat, and therefore stop the associated odor. However, the active mechanism in most antiperspirants is aluminum chlorhydrate. This chemical is absorbed through the skin and the aluminum is neurotoxic. Aluminum has been implicated as a contributing cause in Alzheimer's as well as other forms of dementia. I do not use aluminum cooking foil, aluminum pans, aluminum cans (beer and pop), or antiperspirants. I would advise you to do the same. So now you have another problem because you have body odor when you don't use an antiperspirant. That means that you are already so toxic that your body can't eliminate the waste through the normal channels of liver and kidneys. You don't want B.O. and you don't want dementia, and you don't want to add another toxic chemical to your body (aluminum chlorhydrate), so what are the choices. Probably the best detox tool, and I suspect one that will be in most educated households within the next 25 years, is the far infra red sauna. I take a sauna at least four days a week. It not only keeps my body detoxified but provides me a quiet time for meditation/introspection. Sauna has been shown to detox heavy toxic metals like mercury, cadmium, and lead, but also the ubiquitous plastic byproducts that are found in every cell of every animal on this planet. I predict that within the next five years we will see sauna centers the way we now see tanning centers, where people can go and pay to get their toxic load reduced. Sunlight Sauna is a local company with a national reputation, and you can find out more about them by going to the Referral Network section of the website. |

Short Article #2 Perhaps the greatest problem facing our scientists and doctors embroiled in the "are supplemental vitamins necessary" controversy is one of definition. Health is defined, by practicality, as the absence of disease. This has allowed us to set up standards of treatment that have revolutionized the health sciences. It has given us a clear-cut standard to measure against. This is extremely important if you happen to be a doctor. Unfortunately, it is not a wellness standard. In our society the health sciences should be called the disease sciences, because they are primarily involved with the diagnosis and treatment of disease. As crisis care goes, we have the finest delivery system in the world. Here's the rub. We also have a less-than-well society. The majority of adult Americans do not really feel good most of the time, but do not feel badly enough to consult a doctor. Are we really well if we are not diseased? We have only just begun to attempt to establish a standard of measurement for wellness. When we accept, for definition, that health is the presence of wellness, we have a start. Now we are no longer asking, "How much of this vitamin is necessary to keep from having this disease?" We begin to ask "How much of this vitamin will result in optimum metabolic function, resulting in optimum health and well being?" About ten years ago, Dr. Edward Schneider and colleagues authored an article in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled Recommended Dietary Allowances And The Health Of The Elderly. In this article the authors suggested that for the elderly, with the special problems of an aging metabolism, the recommended dietary allowances (RDA's), were woefully inadequate. Since then, other researchers have addressed this issue in numerous scientific journals, arriving at the same conclusion. Science is beginning to get the idea that as we age we need more supplementation if we are to experience optimum health. The only conclusion a prudent observer can arrive at is simple, "O.K., so I need vitamins!" "What should I take?" The Basic Self Help Program that follows this article is designed
to help you answer that question by providing a basic supplemental
program that you can plug into. As you age, you need ever-greater
amounts of the essential micronutrients because as you age you
utilize these substances less efficiently. This is reflected on
the chart. The Basic Self Help Program provides adequate supplemental
nutrition for those with average health. However, we are all so
different, that it can be helpful to discuss your unique differences,
which are a reflection of your individual needs, with an expert
in this area. This is where Preventics is unique. Monday through
Thursday, from 10 AM to noon, Central Time, I answer your questions
on the free Health Help Number, 1-800-888-4866, or locally, 816-753-4866.
To discover the right supplemental program for your own biochemical
individual needs call during those hours.

Short Article #3
The Twinkie — Industrial Strength Junk Food I came across an article in Newsweek magazine and thought you might get a laugh like I did. Anne Underwood wrote a hilarious and frightening article about this frequently eaten junk food. She tells us that aside from actual flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, water, and a trace of egg, the remaining 39 ingredients are not generally what you'd find in your pantry. For example: the filling contains Shortening (in the form of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and/or beef fat) as the main ingredient. Polysorbate 60 is a gooey substance that helps replace cream and eggs at a fraction of the cost. It's derived from corn, palm oil, and petroleum. Cellulose gum gives the crème filling a smooth slippery feel. Artificial vanillin is synthesized in petrochemical plants. The real think comes from finicky tropical orchids that are pollinated by hand on the day they bloom. The cake contains lecithin, an emulsifier made from soy. It's also used in paint to keep pigments evenly dispersed. Diacetyl mimics the taste of butter, since the real stuff would go rancid too quickly on the store shelf. Cornstarch is a common thickener. Its more common use is in the manufacture of cardboard and packing peanuts. Yellow No. 5, and Red No. 40 give the cake the golden look of eggs. Sorbic acid, the only actual preservative in Twinkies, comes from petroleum. |
