THE DIRTY DOZEN
If you think you cannot afford to eat organic, think again!
Why not at least focus on the 12 MOST contaminated foods? Environmental Working Group tested over 50 fruits and vegetables and has confirmed that the following foods have the highest pesticide content.
MOST contaminated
Peaches Apples Sweet bell peppers Celery Nectarines Strawberries Cherries Lettuce Grapes - Imported Pears Spinach Potatoes
LEAST contaminated foods were Sweet corn (frozen), Mango, Pineapple, Avocado, and Onion. These can be purchased "conventional".

 Hello and thank you for your continued interest in Naturopathic Medicine!
Our hearts go out to those suffering in Japan. Wathcing the news can be overwhelming to say the least. Remember to breath. IF you do watch the news, I recommend equal amounts of time watching with time listening to soothing music. I have had many questions about the potential for exposure to nuclear radiation, and how we can protect ourselves and our families.
Hope this information is helpful.

 | Radiation Expsoure | |
Did you know?
- Our potential for coming in contact with material from the nuclear explosions in Japan increases dramatically when the jet stream crosses our area. Jet Stream, Another jet stream source
 - The United Nations is forecasting a possible radioactive plume coming across the Pacific Ocean and arriving in California today, according to the New York Times.
- More than 10,000 chemical solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives are used in food processing
- Dr. David Brownstein has tested 5,000 of his patients and has found that 95 percent of Americans are iodine deficient.
- Without sufficient iodine we are sitting ducks to toxicities of many kinds with radioactive iodine being only one.
What can we do about it?
Precaution: Most people can take potassium iodide without any problem, doses in excess of 40mg/day (typical dietary intake of Japanese) need to be taken only upon recommendation of a physician or public health official.
Patients should consult their physician if taking quinidine, captopril, enalopril, amiodarone, those sensitive to iodine, have dermatitis herpetiformis, thyrotoxicosis or kidney problems.
1. Potassium Iodide (KI)- for precautionary measures (not for acute exposure) one can take 10-40mg per day taken in tablet form
2. Other supplements that are protective are Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K.
3. Other Radiation Dangers - Cesium 137
Consume high potassium foods such as avocados, sea vegetables, leafy green vegetables. It is more effective to absorb potassium from foods in than to take supplementation here.
4. Other Radiation Dangers - Plutonium
Eat lots of dulse, miso soup, spirulina, chlorella, iron from plant sources,

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
A healthy way to detox | |
The program that took Australia by storm is now in the US!!
I am pleased to be one of the few physicians trained in this method  of weight management. ULTRA LITE was developed by a Naturopathic Physician, and teaches you how to eat right for life.
hCG is all the talk these days. This diet is not for everyone. I conduct a thorough screening, including lab work, before patients are selected for this program. The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet accompanied by treatments of hCG, injected. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight reduction averaging 1 to 2 pounds per day. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight management.
By avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar, and limiting excess carbohydrates you will maximize fat loss as your body will instead burn stored fat, providing energy through natural ketosis.
Research shows that the #1 factor in how much weight is lost and how much is kept off - is Physician monitoring. |
