By Donna Young, Health Policy Reviewer – Premature cord clamping leaves infants subtly and seriously impaired, by stripping them of vital oxygenated blood, iron stores, and essential stem cells. This standard policy compromises brain myelination, weakens cardiovascular transition, and leaves newborns unnecessarily vulnerable.
By Eleonore Blaurock-Busch – Though the agricultural use of chemicals may lead to an increase in crops, it also leads to an increase in cancer and other health problems.
Review by Patricia S. Lemer, MEd – This book is a treasure. It should sit on the desk of every family and healthcare practitioner as a daily reference and guidebook. Give it as a gift to expecting couples, and family members. I cannot recommend it more highly for professionals and parents alike!
By Michelle Perro, MD – Environmental decisions made today shape the health of future generations. The fetus developing in utero is already responding epigenetically to maternal exposures, nutritional status, stress, and environmental toxicants, and by grounding environmental health policy in the rights of the child, we provide a moral and legal lens through which to evaluate practices that alter the air our youngest breathe and the ecosystems that sustain them.
By Kurt Beil, ND, LAc, MPH – Recognition that environmental features directly influence human health began with a study published in 1984, retrospectively analyzing post-surgery recovery data in a suburban hospital, utilizing the view out of the recovery rooms’ windows – natural vs. man-made – as the setting variable, yet the impact and value of nature continues to be overlooked by many.
By Michelle Perro, MD – Without labeling of foods, parents are unable to identify which are industrialized “food-like” products and which are produced without engineering, almost requiring people to have a PhD in genetics to be able to avoid GMOs in the aisles of their local market.
by Michelle Perro, MD – Children are exposed to an ever-increasing array of chemicals that are responsible for the decline in health. We should not have to wait 5-10 years to address this issue, and there are significant changes we can make now, to make a difference.
Dehydration can significantly impact memory and mental health, problem-solving skills, decision making, and overall focus, contributes to UTIs, can affect your mood, weight, skin, hormones, and thyroid, and can lead to dizziness, fatigue, and stiff or achy joints
Dr. Gaby reviews potassium and strokes, vegan diets for menopause, iron deficiency, D-Mannose for UTI’s, Multivitamin/minerals and cognitive decline, cherry juice for ulcerative colitis, and the effects of fluoride on children’s IQ scores.
We now check our phones an average of 96 times a day, approximately once every 10 minutes, an increase of 20% as compared to two years ago. Those who do media multitasking such as texting while doing a task perform significantly worse on memory tasks than those who are not multitasking, and multitasking is negatively correlated with school performance.
The official denial of a vaccine-autism connection has become entrenched dogma, unsupported by a single gold-standard study definitively disproving such a link. Meanwhile, the health of American children continues to decline, as federal agencies remain unwilling to conduct comprehensive safety studies to prove safety of vaccines and current vaccine schedules.
Food allergies and sensitivities, including peanut and tree nut allergies, gluten sensitivity, and lactose intolerance, have been on the rise for decades. Although reactions can vary widely in symptoms and severity, the increasing number of cases highlights the growing public health concern. Identifying and eliminating these sources of constant irritation to our bodies is a key step in achieving our best health.
Vitamin D offers numerous under-recognized health benefits beyond its well-known role in musculoskeletal health. It is vital for extra-renal tissues, prenatal health, brain function, immunity, pregnancy, cancer prevention, and cardiovascular health. Existing guidelines issued by governmental and health organizations are bone-centric and largely overlook
Exploring a range of health topics, highlighting recent research on nutritional interventions, including Quercetin for individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Vitamin D for symptoms of long COVID, Vitamin K2 for nocturnal leg cramps, and prunes for osteoporosis prevention. Also, looking at Omega-3 fatty acids for migraines and gallstones, vitamin C supplementation in pregnant smokers to improve airway function in their children, and deficiency in iodine, essential for thyroid function, in residents of the U.S.
We need to minimize the influence of major product companies on dental education and equip new dentists with the skills to help patients effectively manage oral disease, recognize links between oral and systemic health, and understand the significance of maintaining good oral and dental health.
While some nutrients, like folic acid and DHA, are essential during pregnancy and lactation, not all supplements are safe during these sensitive periods, and some can pose risks to the developing fetus, or be transmitted through breast milk,
Dr. Gaby’s Literature Review and Commentary offers summaries and useful insights on a broad spectrum of information across diverse topics.
Reliance on private donations has created a system where corporations like Merck, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, and Johnson & Johnson – and of course the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation — can fund CDC projects, potentially shaping the agency’s priorities in ways that align with their commercial interests.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...
