What I'm into right now...
Vitamin D
I used to think that my nails and hair grew in the tropics because of the saltwater- 'til I started taking Vitamin D during the drury northwest winters. Now I take it every winter. Not only does it help with hair, skin and nail growth, calcium metabolism and bone health, but studies have shown that lack of Vitamin D might be the reason why people tend to get colds and flus in the winter months. Ahhh sooo... makes sense doesn't it? We generate our own Vit D when our skin is exposed to sunlight. It also helps with my mood when it is really rainy. So though I no longer live in those northern climes, I take the D-for my immune system, and my nails of course.

This is a new column in which I will give a quick description of the use of a homeopathic remedy.
My pup Milo was bitten by another dog last week, leaving him with a nasty puncture wound. Ledum palustre was the first remedy I used and is the homeopathic remedy of choice for bites- animal and insect- puncture wounds, and smashed fingers or toes. Often the wound will feel better with cold applications.
Use the 12 or 30C potency, dosed 3x/day. An important remedy to have in your medicine chest and first aid kit, and is commonly found at most health food store

 Greetings!
Intense storms just welcomed us into the New Year with massive power outages. Fortunately, I had some food, candles. The water was still running. And even though I had a tank of biodiesel in my car and the roads were clear, every store within a ten-mile radius was out of wood and basic necessities. And it was cold. I was wholly unprepared for two days of no power- let alone an earthquake or the Armageddon.
So the days of sitting by the fire (when I finally got some wood) got me thinkin' about the value of preparedness. Never underestimate the value of self-responsibility and having your stuff together. Food. Water. Fuel. Hand-cranked radio and flashlight. Medicines. Not only first aid, but medicines on hand to address your specific needs and susceptibilities. I have my trusty faves, but you may have a unique set of health needs. Healthcare preparedness means knowing your tendancies, having products and first-aid on hand, knowing what to take and when to take it. I encourage you to explore and develop your healthcare preparedness kit- because even in crisis, you can feel better.
Happy New Year!Dr Cory |

Introducing..the $25 Quickie Consult
I am saddened when I hear about a friend or accquaintance or anyone who has been sick or suffering for several weeks because they weren't sure how to treat themselves, didn't want to 'bother' me, or didn't think the situation warranted a visit to their doctor.
My remedy:the $25 buck, 15-minute consult. Ideal for use for the following situations:
- If you want some recommendations or simple product suggestions for coughs, colds, sore throat, minor bladder or yeast infections, stomach aches, mystery ailments, cold sores
- If you've bought products at the healthfood store and don't know what dosage to take
- If you are presented with a bunch of medical options and need an expert natural opinion
- Something that you have questions about but don't think your conventional doc would consider important or know what to do
- Have specific questions about my natural pharmacy products dosages
- If you are at a loss and confused about your health situation and want some direction
Please note: this is not to replace a comprehensive health intake with Dr Cory, a visit to your healthcare professional or the ER if it is an emergency. This is a simple way for you to get some useful advice and pick my brain.
Open Quick Consult hours:Tues & Thurs 11:00-12:00 pm
or by appointment.
Be sure to fill out the Quickie Consult Form before calling in.

Our Mouths, Our Health 
Dental Amalgams: Part I
This is going to be an ongoing topic, as there is much to cover. I will be going into more detail
about mercury, how it specifically impacts our bodies, symptoms of
toxicity, testing and detoxification methods in the future.
Amalgams, or the "silver" fillings found in our mouths are 50% mercury. If you have amalgams, everytime you chew, drink a hot beverage or grind your teeth, mercury vapor is released into your body.
This is an image of vapor being released from a tooth. I call it "Your Tooth on Mercury". Click on the photo to see the video.
Mercury is the most toxic, natural, non-radioactive substance on the planet. It is regulated in every industry except the dental industry (huh?). Mercury can cause, contribute or worsen every disease or health condition we know. The amount of toxicity you experience is going to be dependant on several factors. Here is a short list:
- How many amalgams you have
- How long you have had them
- How often they were stimulated
- Exposure to other sources of mercury (fish) and other heavy metals
- Your overall state of health/constitution
- Effectiveness of your body's detoxifying mechanisms and anti-oxidant levels
It is clear to me through my research that if you have dental amalgams, the question is not if you are mercury toxic, it is how mercury toxic are you and is it impacting your health significantly.
Read the rest of the article for questions to ask your dentist before getting your amalgams removed

I see clients on Wednesdays at Transcendentist in Berkeley, with a focus on mercury and heavy metal detoxification and naturopathic support for dental issues.

High Potassium Mineral Broth
|
|
A patient of mine recently contacted me in severe Gi distress due to an ulcer. She couldn't keep anything in- until she tried this broth. This mineral broth is great for alkalizing the system. You can fast on it during colds, flus, tummy problems or as an adjunct during a cleanse.
Ingredients:
3 carrots with tops
3 beets with tops
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of parsley
2 stalks celery with leaves
1 bunch of kale
Add just enough water to cover the vegetables- about 2 quarts. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low heat for an hour. Strain and drink only the broth. You may refrigerate for later use.

Once again-phew! Thank you for all your suggestions and feedback on my last newsletter.
And once again, please let me know your thoughts- what you'd like to see more of, less of, suggestions, comments, words of wisdom.
I look forward to helping you be healthier.
Many Blessings and Healthy New Year,
Dr Cory
