Saliva Laboratory Testing
by John J White, MD, CM

Novel Biomarkers, Inflammation, and Progression to Diabetes
by Teresa P. McBride, ND
Diagnostic tools that move beyond BMI are clinically important to effectively address the epidemic of type 2 diabetes.

Pathogenic Bacteria Associated with GI Symptoms in Parasite-Free Patients
by Omar M. Amin
Many patients with symptoms suggestive of parasitic infections turn out to have other infections. Tests for pathogenic bacteria using swab culture tests showed that practically all such patients were infected. This article presents the results of the investigation, discusses epidemiological aspects of these infections, and offers a plausible explanation of the symptomatology.
A Metabolic Approach to Hypothyroidism

Measuring Blood Viscosity to Improve Patient Outcomes
by Pushpa Larsen, ND, and Ralph Holsworth, DO
Cardiovascular disease is associated with hundreds of independent risk factors; the common thread that ties all these factors together is blood viscosity. This article explains how blood viscosity contributes to the development of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombosis, how to test for it, and how to treat it naturally.
Low Level Prenatal Exposure to Organophosphate Pesticides Significantly Lowers IQ in Children
by Elizabeth Redmond, PhD; Christie Egeston, MS; and J. Alexander Bralley, PhD
Even low level exposure to organophosphate pesticides in utero can have significant and lasting effects upon childhood cognitive development. This can be of great concern because of the prevalence of these chemicals in the environment. Fortunately, exposure to these compounds can be easily screened for by using a simple urine test, and methods of avoidance and detoxification can be implemented.
Medical Imaging Needs a New Image
by Miriam Goodman
Medical imaging is an essential component of health care. But lack of knowledge, as well as unregulated use in medicine, have resulted in the excesses that tarnish its image, and have prevented the issue from entering patient–doctor communication, which otherwise might offer safer alternatives in care. It is time for both professionals and the public to become informed on the risks versus benefits of these technologies.

Dr. Pushpa Larsen graduated from Bastyr University in naturopathic medicine,
naturopathic midwifery, and spirituality, health and medicine. She worked as a research clinician for the Bastyr University Research Institute and as affiliate clinical faculty for Bastyr University, training students in her clinic.
Dr. Larsen is a naturopathic physician practicing vibrational healing with flower essences, sound healing, and other methods of using energy for healing and living a more vibrant life. Her practice, BodyBlessing, grew out of a desire to provide healing modalities that offer profound and, in some cases, immediate relief. I love to teach patients how to use vibrational medicine in their daily lives to reclaim health and empower their aspirations.
