We discuss detoxification (“spring cleaning”?) with Kate Rhéaume, N.D. She is expert in natural medicine and regularly appears on television and radio teaching about a variety of health topics. She is licensed in her native Canada as a Doctor of Naturopathy. Dr. Rhéaume is the author of one of my favorite books: Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox–How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life. It is an important topic that we discussed during this archived interview. Dr. Rhéaume is also an educator and spokesperson for Natural Factors Nutritional Products, which is Canada’s largest manufacturer of nutritional supplements. (Natural Factors is also a popular and respected nutrition supplier in the US.) During this week’s show, Dr. Rhéaume recommended “The Dirty Dozen”, a reference to which foods are most important to buy as organic. (For any listeners like Tom A. who keep show notes by date and requested this information, this interview first aired June 22,2022.)

May is Blood Pressure Awareness month. We are probably all aware that blood pressure can be an issue, but it is likely that not everyone is aware of some safe natural approaches to achieving healthy levels. Read a bit about the risks of high blood pressure. Most of the blog is about several resources for achieving your blood pressure goal naturally.

• Scientific research shows that vitamin D is associated with reduced risk of dementia. Yet another benefit!!!

• Local elections often have propositions to vote on. The most important thing to know is that you cannot choose based on the name of the proposed law. In fact, it is almost safe to assume that the real purpose is the exact opposite of what it sounds like. (I learned that the year I spent so much time in Washington working to pass legislation to keep the FDA from willy nilly taking supplements off the market.) For example, a bill that was called something like “The wetlands protection act” allowed oil companies to drill in the delicate wetlands. I see the same tactics locally…the bill is named something that appeals to the public—never mind what it really does. Want to raise everyone’s taxes? Then call it the “Tax Fairness bill”. The short description of the proposition on the ballot is not always much help either because it is likely to be obscure language (legalese or Klingon?) and twisted with double negatives. Also, the text usually fails to point out that whatever they are selling, ultimately YOU will pay for with your tax dollars. 

•  Last week, in the newsletter UPDATE, I wrote about resources offered by Jane Orient, MD to address anxiety about a potential nuclear event Surely, we must elect leaders who can shut down the saber rattling. A post-nuclear world might be unlivable, but it would be less so if more people knew what to do. My goal in writing was hopefully to reduce stress a tad by providing responsible information. One reader got the impression that I am somehow okay with the use of nuclear weapons. (Heck no…I’ll bet that even atheists pray they are never used!)

Tim Conway takes a “No Frills” airplane flight with Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman (Hilarity ensues…this was back when comedians were allowed to be funny and is just the thing right now to change the mood after talk above about nuclear issues.)
