Fluorescent Bulbs, Amalgam fillings, intro to homeopathy, toxic shower curtain liners and more!

Saturday, June 13, 2009

While we intend to share stories about homeopathy on this blog, staying healthy requires more than just treating the symptoms. It also requires educating folks on the causes of disease.

We usually come across some very interesting links and articles on both serious health topics and light entertainment. Mary Poppins believed that “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.” We like that approach! So here goes…

Below is a recap of our July 2008 newsletter. If you would like to sign up for our newsletter fill out the form below:

Forced use of Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs- Does it make sense?

Fluorescent light bulbs have been known to cause headaches, eyestrain, fatigue, decrease in the ability to concentrate, increased rate of ‘misjudgments’ and accidents, stress, malaise and irritability. The color of light produced is less than

desirable- even of so-called “full-spectrum” bulbs. Several of our clients say “you shouldn’t even attempt to match colors or apply make-up under a fluorescent light unless you want to come out looking like a clown!” Artificial light (rather than natural light) affects the levels of hormones in the body, particularly the hormones associated with stress, such as cortisol.

Recently, we learned a little more about compact fluorescent light bulbs that makes us dislike them even more… It turns out, breaking compact fluorescents is more hazardous than breaking a mercury thermometer! If you are interested in learning more about this topic, please do a web search for “compact fluorescents” and “mercury.”

FDA FINALLY Admits Harm From Mercury Amalgam Fillings

For the past eighteen years Manfred has informed his clients of the harm their dental amalgam fillings can cause, and more than two thousand of them have decided to have them replaced – the majority with substantial benefits. In a much overdue admission by the FDA, this dubious agency finally admits that mercury amalgam fillings can cause harm…but only in some people.

While the “FDA said it did not recommend that people who currently have mercury fillings get them removed” it did concede to issue new rules for safety beginning next year- but in our opinion, don’t look for an outright ban on all amalgam fillings even though some countries have already banned the fillings. Of course you don’t have to use them yourself!

Interested in more on the harm caused by Mercury?

See “How Mercury Causes Brain Neuron Degeneration,” presented by the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine Dept. of Physiology and Biophysics. This is where fourteen years ago, Drs. Vimey and Lorscheidter conducted groundbreaking research that proved that mercury vapors escape from dental fillings and enter the vital organs within two weeks of placing them into teeth. This short presentation available on the University website clearly shows how mercury in fillings can destroy brain neurons as seen with people who have Alzheimer's Disease.

Introductory Video on Homeopathy

Recently, author, homeopathic educator and business owner Dana Ullman, MPH, posted a few videos on Youtube.com about his new book “The Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy” and introductions to homeopathy.

In this link (http://youtube.com/watch?v=6wJRlC1EHyM&feature=related) Dana does an excellent job giving folks a very effective and straightforward understanding of what homeopathy is and how it works. This would be a good video to send people when they want to know, “What exactly is homeopathy?”

New Shower Curtain Liners Contain Carcinogens

Plastic-like or, more accurately, PVC (vinyl) shower curtain liners (and for that matter- other new vinyl products like raincoats or tablecloths) have recently been declared to contain (and of course, those of you who are chemically sensitive have known this all along!) chemicals which cause cancer, liver and neurological damage. The biggest danger from having these in your house is that you inhale the fumes all day long for months at a time.

At the very least, you can buy fabric shower curtains and liners. They do not, of course, provide the excellent water barrier that vinyl shower curtains provide, but they are machine washable and work just fine in our experience! You also may consider nylon liners which are safer than vinyl.

There is no longer any doubt – cell phones cause brain tumors

The cancer grows right where you hold the phone. Ted Kennedy knows all about that. Glioma is 375 times more likely in a cell phone user than in those who don’t use one. After all, the health effects are exactly the same as getting x-rays. Children are even more affected, according to a Swedish study. Check out this link:

Now even brain surgeons are alarmed!

They ought to know. Check out this link of a report by celebrated neurosurgeon Prof. Khurana. He warns about a future public health disaster, and recommends to cut back cell phone use dramatically.

Recently Resolved Acute Case

Boy, 6 years old, with a history of allergy induced asthma and bronchial affections. Was stung at least 8 times by honey bees which crawled under his clothes. The initial concern was how he would react to such a large amount of bee venom

(hopefully, not by having an anaphylactic reaction or an asthma attack!). By the early afternoon, what were originally mosquito bite sized spots were large, puffy and angry and causing discomfort to the child. The mother first gave the boy a few grains of salt on the tongue every so often because she had heard several stories in our classes of how salt, which antidotes Apis, also in our experience, antidotes symptoms of stings- and she didn't have her remedy kit with her. After the call, the mother began giving a dose of Apis 30C every 30-45 minutes. One of the spots was purple, so she alternated Apis with Lachesis 1Q as needed (she had this potency in her pharmacy). She also used local applications of moistened baking soda to draw out the remaining stingers.

The bites continued to spread, which concerned the mother until she realized that the body, as a defense against the quantity of poison injected by the sting, spreads out the inflammation in order to better metabolize the poison. In fact, the stings continued to spread for the first day and one, with the stinger still in it, finally stopped spreading on the second day. She repotentized the Apis after every 10 doses and kept repeating it as needed for the next day (day 3). On day 4, the boy woke up with NO SIGNS of ANY STINGS! And at no time did he experience any more severe symptoms of bee stings such as severe swelling of the body, tongue, anaphylaxis, nervous anxiety, etc.

No-Dig Organic Gardening

Making organic gardening simple and easy has been no secret to homesteaders since before the 1970’s homestead revolution began. Some of you new-bies may not be familiar with some of the most intriguing and perhaps simplest methods promoted by some outspoken organic gardeners- No Dig Gardening. These folks

advocate simple strategies like mounds of mulch (protecting the plants from drying out and “sizzling”), composting on the garden rather than in a separate area (no turning or dragging the heavy, steaming compost to your garden as needed) and of course, this means less time in the garden and more time spent on other projects.

I’ve even heard from a few clients that they tried one of these methods and their first year’s Organic Garden yielded better than expected results.

Experiments in Microgravity

An astronaut had the idea to drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a sphere of water while up in space to see what would happen- and it’s quite interesting! Great science topic for anyone with kids!
