Your report really captures the excitement that a person feels – so proud of your efforts to inform the law-makers.

Comment on May is National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection & Prevention Month! by Signs of Cancer

Signs of Cancer — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:33:24 +0000

With cancer being the 2nd leading cause of death, I want to see it eradicated. I don’t know if this is entirely possible, but we do have a starting place. We can learn and teach the signs and symptoms of cancer in order to achieve earlier diagnoses. Some cancers are curable if found early enough. This is why I yearn to teach the signs of cancer! Thank you for this site and please continue to teach!

Comment on Are You Worried About Radiation Exposure? by bill

It seems that lots of people misunderstand that the risk from this accident, at least for people in the United States is much lower than the risk of damaging their bodies with supplements of dubious prophylactic value. Unfortunately, there are quite a few “nutrition” websites and “nutrition experts” that are telling people they should be taking very large doses of cesium, potassium and iodine to stave off the “imminent danger” of radiation-induced cancers. It is probably no coincidence that many of them sell supplements.

Thank you, too, for pointing out that context matters. People that don’t stress themselves out by obsessively following news of the disaster, eat a variety of unprocessed fruits and vegetables and take care to get sleep, exercise and fun are less likely to be at risk compared to people that don’t do this things.

Comment on Agave Nectar – Natural and Good or Too Good to be True? by drkristen

drkristen — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:20:32 +0000

Just to be clear…I want to make it known that I am not against all agave nectar, nor am I against using it in moderation. However, there have been many people I have spoken with recently that are putting this in EVERYTHING they eat and drink because they think it’s healthier. Everything in moderation! And considering this is fructose, it should be avoided by anyone with diabetes or blood sugar issues.

Comment on Whey protein and heavy metal detoxification by drkristen

Yes. Whey can be an important therapy for those with autism and heavy metal toxicity. However, many people with autism also have dairy allergies, in which case N-acetyl cysteine would be a better choice. Regardless, you’ll always want to check in with a naturopath before starting any type of natural therapy to make sure it’s safe for you. Thanks for the comment!
