Nutritional Deficiencies and The Birth Control Pill

This is an interesting journal article on the negative effects of the birth control pill on the nutritional status of women. We have known for a long time that there is an increase risk of stroke and liver toxicity. This article sheds light on some of the lesser known effects and it is worth the read. I hope that this will help you as you make educated decisions about types of birth control that you choose in your relationships.

Best Nutrition Site Going

If you want to begin your true education in nutrition, this web site is the place to start. If you want to take all the confusion out of the supplement/nutrition/herbal therapy world use this site. It is simple and accurate in its truth. Please use it as a resource regularly. It will debunk all the multilevel marketing schemes that are out there and explain why I use Standard Process supplements and very little else.

Whole Food Nutrition

I am writing this post because I have had so many questions recently about why I recommend whole food nutrition. To answer this simply, it is my belief that human organisms were meant to eat food the way it exits the ground or the way it grazes in the wild. It sounds simple but what I am really saying is that someone much greater than us created the foods and animals that are fit for human consumption. This great design was put in place with the basic idea that the human body could be nourished from the land. The only problem that has complicated this idea is the fact that we have demineralized and devitaminized (not sure about that word) our soils so much that without supplementation we are short in some or many basic nutrients.

Fractionated or synthetic vitamins which are sold at your local health food store or grocery store are just that....synthetic. This means that they are not from a food source or more specifically a whole food source. What tends to develop over time are deficiencies of the other cofactors that make up the whole food complex. This begs the question... can a person become cofactor and enzyme/nutrient deficient due to taking fractionated non whole food supplements. I believe they can. Best rules of thumb to follow:

1. Eat as close to the way things grow out of or graze on the ground
2. Eat organically grown and cultivated foods free or hormone and pesticide additives
3. Supplement with Whole food, organically grown and pharmaceutical grade supplements

This is a great start. If we can help you from here please call us, we would love to share more.

Morning After Pill Issues and Not What You Think

Since this is strictly a health forum the title of this post might be confusing for you. You are probably expecting to hear my opinion on the morning after pill. I will not give that here as that is not my point. My point is how crazy we have gotten in our health care system related to economics and what constitutes danger.

There is a bill before congress right now to make bio identical hormones controlled and probably by extension to make a grab at all nutritional supplements. This is brought up every year by strong medical and pharmaceutical lobbyists and summarily gets defeated. Funny; why would the medical/pharma community want to control something they don't even thinks works or believe in. Could it be the $ ? If you say yes, you win the big stuffed animal.

We will freely hand out the morning after pill to all comers at a Planned Parenthood facility with no evaluation or oversight. This is a controlled medication that is strong enough to terminate a pregnancy. Yet, at the same time we seem to be consumed with how dangerous a vitamin or mineral or natural hormone is at the health food store. Something just smells funny. Could it be control of a multi-billion dollar industry ? I will let you decide.
