Healthy by Nature radio show this week: Last week we “went to school” on energy medicine and allergies. This week there will be some useful content but, a whole lot of fun too. My first guest, David DeLorenzo, President of Vetscience, tells us about safer pet treats. Then we talk to Kenneth Wightman, ND about fructose. My friend, Doug Kaufmann, author and host of the popular TV show, Know the Cause will raise eyebrows with unconventional ideas about the cause of common diseases. Doug wrote The Fungus Link, Cooking your Way to Health and Eating your Way to Health. Our very special entertainment celebrity guest is Burton Gilliam. Andy is a fan and will help with that interview. Read about Burton on the home page of the Natural HealthFest Website. Click here to find podcasts, show archives and ways to listen nationwide. Call with questions during the show at 1-800-281-8255.
 
  “D” MAY ALSO STAND FOR “DANGEROUS TO HAVE LOW BLOOD LEVELS”
I’ve talked about vitamin D many times before. This time I think I’ll let this sampling of recent studies do the talking:

Relieves Depression in Adolescents LINK

Deficiency May Be Associated with Psoriasis, Inflammation and Obesity LINK

Deficiency May be a Predictor of Dementia LINK

Reduces Mortality in the Elderly LINK

Deficiency Linked to Worse Mental Health In Elderly LINK

Associated with Greater Risk of Incontinence in Certain Women LINK
 
May Reduce Mortality in those with Metabolic Syndrome [Metabolic Syndrome signifies increased risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It is a collection of factors-a big waistline plus elevations of any two of these: cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure and blood sugar.] LINK

Impressive, huh? And, that is just the tip of the iceberg. More info at www.VitaminDCouncil.org.
