Most of October we will focus on various choices that we can make to prevent cancer and/or add value to treatments. Since these steps usually involve improving our immune function and overall wellness, they are of value to any listener concerned with better health.

Surely you have noticed that there is a whole lot of pink in October because it is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”. I am of the opinion that we are already aware of it as an issue! I also think that too little of the incredible amount of money raised is being used to inform women about ways to prevent this scary disease. Most of what we can say about breast cancer and its treatment would also apply to prostate, pancreatic, lung and, for that matter, any cancer.

I will start the show with a review of some ideas from the research and probably a couple of clips from past interviews. Then my guest, Dr. Michael Einsohn, and I will talk about the effects of radiation, mammography and thermography as well as the diet and lifestyle connections to cancer that he sees in his practice. His initial training was as a DC, but over the decades he has continued to study and has become an expert in thermography, nutrition and kinesiology. We’ve worked out a fabulous discount for listeners at The Thermography Center of Dallas.

In case the last two newsletters went into your junk folder (the spam filters might have assumed I was promoting body building products.) Two weeks ago we covered the importance of muscle mass. Last week I discussed protein as a key requirement for building and maintaining muscle. Obviously, using muscles as in strength training is also necessary. I’ve included the drawing of “core muscles.” You probably know that we should work especially diligently on strengthening them to help balance among other benefits. (Some basic exercises like squats and planks help a lot as do programs like yoga and Tai Chi.) In this week’s blog I review what supplements help; what hurts muscles and what to do about leg cramps and other muscle cramps. Click here to read this week’s blog.

Certified Natural Health Professional and Weight Loss Specialist, Valerie Hall joined us to explore a sensible and comprehensive aid to weight management that addresses metabolism and mood as well as appetite. (I’ll bet that Body Regime will even help a bit to boost the energy needed to exercise.) The company is giving a great offer—one bottle FREE with the purchase of 2 and free shipping. Visit the Body Regime website or call 800-407-3737 and tell them Martie sent you. Then we talked to Kim McClure from Lily of the Desert about what modern science is learning about the ancient remedy, Aloe vera and convenient new ways to use it. I arranged something special that I can’t list here because it is only for a limited number of those who heard the interview. But, in case you decide you need to call Monday after the show, this is the phone number: 800-229-5459 (ask for Kim).

The Probiotic Cure. We now know that the microorganisms in our gut are a crucial part of our human instruction manual and that they control thousands of biological functions in our bodies. It is past time that we learned how to care for them because important varieties are disappearing and leaving illness behind.
