Know the Cause with Doug Kaufmann: interview with Caryn Talty (Healthy-Family.org)
In this interview I talked candidly with Doug Kaufmann about the recovery process we went through with my son after he was diagnosed with a chronic multifocal tic disorder in January of 2007. At the beginning of the interview Doug Kaufmann referred to my previous article The Corn We Eat is Infested with Mycotoxic Fungi.
My son eventually made a full recovery but the process was long and slow. We didn’t know the cause initially and spent quite a bit of money testing and trying various alternative treatments. They improved his condition but did not cure it. An allergy test we did that spring gave us something to go on and after nine months on the specific diet and supplement regime he really started to improve. After about 1 1/2 years he became symptom free. …read the rest of this entry »
A new report from the International Journal of Biological Sciences has found Monsanto’s three most popular varieties of GM corn (NK 603, MON 810, and MON 863) to cause organ damage in rats, contrary to an earlier study done by Monsanto that led to U.S. government approval of these GM seeds.
The French study completed by Joël Spiroux de Vendômois, François Roullier, Dominique Cellier, and Gilles-Eric Séralini from the universities of Rouen and Caen, was much more comprehensive and included six ‘reference’ groups, or control groups, which ate non GM corn. The test rats were fed for 90 days, and unlike the Monsanto study, were fed a much higher content of GM corn. (Monsanto’s study fed their animal subjects only 11% GM corn.) …read the rest of this entry »

The study included national data from 4,111 children ages 2-19 and found that obese children were 59% more likely to have IgE mediated food allergies than children of normal weight. …read the rest of this entry »
1. Use sunscreen (spf 15 or 30) and REAPPLY every 1.5 hrs!
There are two take-home messages here. First of all it is true that applying sunscreen will not prevent you from getting all types of skin cancer. Malignant melanoma – the most rare but also the most aggressive skin cancer, can appear in places that you may not even suspect, like under the nails and on the soles of your feet. However, you also have to remember that applying the sunscreen can prevent most of the skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or basal cell carcinoma of the skin. It is important, also, that you get adequate vitamin D for a healthy immune system, so during times of low UV levels it is necessary to get at least 15 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen. Sunscreen use should be utilized during times when UV levels are high and when long-term exposure is planned (like a day at the beach). …read the rest of this entry »

Doctors at Mayo Clinic have developed a new field of research called vaccinomics.
They hope to utilize gene testing to find out which patients are most at risk of getting a particular disease and who will benefit from the vaccine. This topic is one of several that will be discussed at the Ninth Annual World Vaccine Congress that will be held April 20-23 in Washington D.C. …read the rest of this entry »
As the Director of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy’s Food and Health Program Dr. David Wallinga is pleased to announce a brand new web-based Brain Food SelectorTM. It is a database that will help the average person easily find foods containing synthetic dyes.
Consumers will now be able to search by brand, product type, or specific food dye. The IATP’s Smart Guide to Food Dyes also describes why synthetic food dyes are used, gives valuable information about associated children’s health concerns and offers things parents can do to avoid buying products laced with these dyes. …read the rest of this entry »
