As usual, the summer seems to be flying by. But, there is
still time to enjoy it!
This month’s newsletter has three features. First, there are
so many areas where the “natural health” world and the “mainstream health”
world seem to clash. It is not only regarding what foods to eat, whether or not
to vaccinate, but also what to do about the Sun. The “mainstream” view is to
put on lots of sunscreen and you’ll be protected from sunburn and skin cancer.
The “natural” view is that all this sunscreen is likely contributing to skin
cancer, sun exposure is good for our health, and there are ways to protect
ourselves from overdoing it. I feature a couple of articles below from the “natural”
side of the debate.
Second, one of my favorite nutritionists and mentors is Ann
Louise Gittleman. I’ve mentioned her several times in the past. One of the sun
articles is from her and she had another very interesting article this past
month about the link between medications, nutritional deficiencies caused by
the medications, and then the resultant additional symptoms suffered. This
particular article looks at the link between birth control pills and
depression.
Third, I have another wonderful testimonial from a 25 year
old female who had a lingering parasitic infection.
I hope you enjoy the newsletter.
Have Fun in the Sun
As mentioned above, sun exposure is one of those areas where
the “natural” and “mainstream” worlds seem to clash. In “Sunscreen Savvy” Ann
Louise discusses how the sun is an important nutrient and how to safely get
your sun. You can read the article here: http://annlouise.com/2016/07/19/sunscreen-savvy/.
Another of my favorite sources of “natural” information is
GreenMedInfo. Here’s a link to their feature about the benefits of sun
exposure: http://www.greenmedinfo.com/therapeutic-action/sunlight-exposure.
Birth Control Pills
and Depression
From Ann Louise Gittleman, “I have been concerned—no, make
that worried—about the nutrient depletion impact of meds for years. Many
anti-depressants can make us fat while others impact our ability to exercise
(like statins). So—to get the low down on which class of drugs might be making
us depressed, I turned to my friend the Natural Pharmacist Ross Pelton who
wrote The Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook a number of years
ago.
In it, I was astounded to learn that oral contraceptives are
downright dangerous because they deplete more nutrients than any other class of
prescribed meds. When I learned Ross had also written a book called The Pill
Problem, I asked him to weigh in on how women can protect their health from
the side effects of oral contraceptives.” Click here to read more about what
Ross Pelton told Ann Louise: http://annlouise.com/2016/07/26/the-drugdepression-connection.
“The Bumps and
Indentations are Gone”
Hello Bernie!
I’m terribly sorry I forgot to respond to your email.
Anyways, all is well with me! I had some severe discomfort and pain towards the
end of my stay in China (probably 3 months)…I believe that it actually had to
do with the parasite finally leaving my body.
Thank you so much for checking in! I will definitely contact
you should I have anymore concerns regarding foreign invaders!
Oh also, those bumps that were once on my arms and backs of
legs are completely gone now. And the indentations on my nails are also gone!
