Almost Autism:Recovery for Kids, Support & Community for Moms
Nutritional deficiencies are rampant. I believe many people are falsely lulled into a sense of security by RDA (recommended daily allowances) listings on food and nutrients.
What you don’t know is that RDA requirements are the bare minimum to stave off diseases of deficiency like scurvy or rickets.
RDA requirements do NOT promote optimal health! [Read more…]
Statins are increasingly being prescribed to bring down high cholesterol levels, which are thought by many in the medical community to be dangerous. I disagree.
Your brain and neurological system need cholesterol to function. As Dr. Sherry Rogers says in her September 2007 edition of her “Total Wellness Newsletter” (I highly recommend you subscribe to it to keep yourself updated about how doctors aren’t paying attention to health problems created by toxicity, nutritional deficiencies and side effects of prescription medication): “Robbing the body of cholesterol synthesis deprives the brain of dolichols, messengers or neurotransmitters, damages our NF-kB production that then ushers in:

Remember, cholesterol is NOT the enemy – inflammation is! Cholesterol is simply the band-aid that is trying to protect your body from chronic inflammation.
In addition, remember that if you’re lowering cholesterol, you’re also lowering levels of hormones that are made from them, like progesterone and testosterone, which is why a low sex drive is also a side effect of taking statins.
Dr. Rogers points out in her February 2011 edition of “Total Wellness Newsletter” that “plasticizers and phthalates… are the number one culprit for a rising cholesterol or other lipid abnormalities. Plus they trigger the inflammation called arteriosclerosis.”
Most doctors simply don’t take into account the effect of toxicity on our health, but the research is there if they look for it.
Here are some great resources for educating you and your doctor further about statin dangers and the demonization of cholesterol. This is just a small sample of the over 900 studies that have shown the dangers of statins:
Because of my son’s failure to thrive, our pediatrician sent us to see Vicki Kobliner, a holistic nutritionist, who’s also on the board of Epidemic Answers with me.
