What Else can be Done for Chronic Dry Eye Besides Medication?

Research that has been published in the July issue of Cornea, suggests that essential fatty acids may be of benefit for those who suffer from chronic dry eyes.  I know that one of my patient's back some years ago suffered from this and it truly affected her quality of life.

Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and Omega 3 fatty acids were the two specific fats chosen.  Foods such as fatty fish, nuts, hemp hearts and organic oils are all high in essential fatty acids and should be eaten, frequently.  In this study, the research team followed 38 post-menopausal women who were suffering from tear production dysfunction.  As this was a randomized trial, the subjects were assigned either to the fatty acid supplementation group or the placebo group for six months.  The women's progress was measured at 4, 12 and 24 weeks, respectively and the Ocular Surface Disease Index score was used to detect any changes.  The results showed a marked, statistically significant improvement in this Index score by the group taking the fatty acid supplement over the placebo group.  The women on the supplement reported an improvement in eye irritation, but did not see a significant improvement in tear production.  

The authors admit to needing additional research about the efficacy of essential fatty acid supplementation in tear production, but I believe that they might do well with using organic food sources of these and other essential fatty acids rather than a lab-produced supplement. That suggestion aside, I think it's really worth looking at what mechanisms are imbalanced to cause this problem in the first place.  Eating a diet high in phytonutrients, low in animal protein and balanced in acid/alkaline ratio will go a long way to preventing many of today's stress and inflammation-induced maladies.

A Warning About Pharmaceutical-Grade Supplements

Over the years, I have had people ask me about pharmaceutical-grade supplements.  Many of these folks have been told that since the vitamins were pharmaceutical-grade, they were of superior quality to all the other manufactured supplements.  I have always maintained that whole food supplements are the best type to purchase and that no supplement that is manufactured offers the body the quality of nutriceutical that whole food supplements offer.  All laboratory-constructed supplements contain no naturally-occurring phytonutrients that I believe are fundamental to optimum utilization by our bodies.
Therefore, one may imagine my interest in the following warning put out by the FDA concerning lab manufactured supplements:

FDA: Purity First Recalls Products Due To Undeclared Steroids

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Purity First Health Products has recalled several of its Healthy Life Chemistry products.

These include two lots of Healthy Life Chemistry B-50 (100 capsules), one lot of Healthy Life Chemistry Multi-Mineral (200 capsules), and all lots of Healthy Life Chemistry Vitamin C (200 capsules). The products are marketed as dietary supplements and come in white plastic bottles.

The recall was issued after the B-50 capsules were found to contain the controlled substance methasterone and dimethazine, which are both potentially harmful steroids. The Multi-Mineral and Vitamin C capsules were found to contain dimethyltestosterone. These ingredients were undeclared and were not included on the product labels.

All of the products were available nationwide through retail and the internet, and through retail stores from July 2012 to June 2013.

The FDA has received reports of side effects associated with the use of Healthy Life Chemistry B-50, including fatigue, muscle cramps, and muscle pain, as well as changes in cholesterol levels and in liver and thyroid function. Some women reported unusual hair growth and missed periods, while some men reported impotence and low testosterone levels.

Warning signs that may be associated with the use of steroids or steroid-like substances may include blood clots, sudden blockage in the lung artery, liver or kidney problems, and stroke. The FDA advises consumers who experience symptoms to consult a health care professional and to submit a report to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.

 I hope all of you had the opportunity to watch 60 Minutes last night concerning their story about the many compounding facilities around this country that are potentially manufacturing deadly medicines, including steroids, like the one located in Massachusetts.  Congress took away FDA oversight of the compounding facilities in 1998 and we are now potentially facing more deaths due to this lack of inspection power.  In my opinion, we are relying much too much on pharmaceuticals and not enough upon wholesome foods and supplements to maintain our health.

Non-Gluten for Beginners

Getting started with switching from an all gluten to a non-gluten diet may be easier than you think. The first thing is to keep in mind is what foods contain gluten , and there are more than we think. Did you know that vanilla extract can contain gluten? That's why I always recommend the pure, organic extract. The less expensive brands use the gluten as a “carrier” or “filler.”

All wheat products, whether they are labeled as “whole wheat” or “white,” are a source of gluten. Make certain to read the labels on the products you buy to look for any hidden gluten. You can use the internet to find lists of foods and products containing gluten. That way there is never any doubt.

If you are a baker and want to continue to offer your family desserts and breads, it's much easier than you think. Bob's Red Mill offers a non-gluten flour mix that is superb. I don't recommend that you use non-gluten single flour sources such as tapioca or coconut flour as they don't give the same results as the flour mixes. Bob's products are available at any grocery store as well as online at Amazon.com. Another wonderful non-gluten flour baking mix is Pamela's Baking Mix. It already contains leavening and salt and offers a number of recipes on the bag. The best place to buy this is on Amazon.com...they offer fantastic prices and free shipping. I have mine on automatic delivery and receive a reduced price for that service. Many of you know that I am writing a cook book for those wishing to convert from gluten to non-gluten baking and cooking. I use Pamela's almost exclusively for all the cookies, cakes, muffins, cup cakes and sweet breads that I bake. I've successfully converted many “regular” recipes to non-gluten ones with this baking mix. There are a few tricks and changes that had to be made, but once you get the hang of it, this type of baking is no more difficult than regular baking.

If you like making entrees, then you will also find Amazon.com to be a good friend. Changing to quinoa grains and pasta is much easier using this source. Amazon offers a number of different organic brands of non-gluten pasta, so experimenting will help you to know which brand you like the best. I like “Ancient Harvest” quinoa pasta, especially the linguine. In order to buy that in bulk, you'll have to go on Ancient Harvest's website as Amazon doesn't offer that type of pasta anymore. Ancient Harvest uses some corn flour to help keep the quinoa pasta from sticking, so anyone allergic to corn, please take note. I simply rinse off the pasta after cooking and am able to get rid of virtually all the corn.

I have been able to make lasagna, stuffed shells, spaghetti, eggplant and chicken parmasean and other Italian dishes from non-gluten pastas, it just takes a bit of imagination, especially since I have yet to find a traditional lasagna noodle that's non-gluten.

If anyone has a favorite gluten-containing dish that they would like to have help converting into a non-gluten one, please write and let me know. I'm here to help and am always on the look out for new recipe possibilities.

Non-Gluten is Going Mainstream

Steve Harvey, the comic and talk show host, announced that he has never felt more energetic in his life. Novac Djokovic  went from frequently not being able to finish out a 5 set tennis match and never being able to beat either Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal, to the world's number one player in less than a year. What do these two men have in common?  They both decided to go on a gluten-free diet resulting in experiencing much improved energy levels as well as performance levels.

Not so long ago, I was speaking to someone about decreasing the gluten content in her diet; her response was that she wasn't allergic to gluten and saw no reason to do that.  My response is that one doesn't need to have an allergic reaction to a food to be sensitive to it.  Some of the indicators that one has a sensitivity are:  lethargy, sleepiness after a full night's sleep, non-specific headaches, constipation or diarrhea, bloating and gas, even muscle aches.  The point is, one can be sensitive to a food, have symptoms and never connect the two.

Over two decades ago, our government saw fit to allow agricultural companies to develop a hybrid wheat grain that contained 50% more gluten than the wild grains.  As a result, we have all been eating more gluten than we ate when we were children.  While it is nearly impossible to determine a 1 to 1 relationship between the genetically modified wheat and the explosion of celiac disease, IBS, Chron's and a myriad of intestinal symptoms because we cannot cause disease in a scientific study, I believe there is a connection.  The reason I believe this is that it has been our experience that once a patient's diet no longer includes gluten, that patient's symptoms diminish or disappear.

Changing from a gluten based diet to a non-gluten based diet is easier and less expensive than one might think.  I believe this is something very important for us all as gluten is a substance that causes inflammation of the entire gut; we remember what happens to our bodies when this occurs....please check out previous blogs for details.... inflammatory changes affect the way we absorb and utilize nutrients, contribute to neurological imbalances, affect bacterial growth, contribute to anxiety and depression, cause antigen/antibody reactions and many more systemic problems.

I thought I might detail some ideas for those of you who would like to make either small, modest or complete changes in your gluten-containing diet in my next blog.  I'll also include some resources that I have found to be both reasonably priced and of very high quality.

Supplements Help Cancer Patients to Recover More Quickly

The following information is contained within a study concerning the use of ginseng to help cancer patients in their recovery, especially when having to face the consequences of chemo or radiation therapy.  The study makes no distinction about the type of ginseng used.  It's good to remember that when using herbs, all of them are not necessarily created equally.  There is a science to planting and harvesting and even to the species of herbs used.  That is why there is such a cost difference among what appears to be the same herb.  There are very few herb manufacturers that understand the differences and even fewer that grow organic varieties.  The same is true for vitamin supplements. There is a world of difference between the lab-manufactured vitamins and the whole food varieties.

Ginseng May Improve Cancer-Related Fatigue

Supplementing with American ginseng daily for eight weeks may help improve fatigue in people with cancer, according to a study.

The term ginseng refers to several species of the genus Panax of the Araliaceae family. The two most commonly used ginseng species are Asian ginseng and American ginseng. The word "ginseng" is derived from ren-shen, the Chinese word for the plant, which means "essence of the earth in the form of a man" or "man-root," referring to the root's human-like shape. Ginseng has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years. Its diverse uses include increasing appetite and strength, enhancing memory and physical performance, reducing fatigue and stress, and improving overall quality of life.

In the current study, researchers set out to determine the potential effects of ginseng on cancer-related fatigue (CRF). They enrolled 364 cancer survivors and randomly assigned them to receive either 2,000 milligrams of American ginseng or placebo daily for eight weeks. They looked at changes in the subjects' level of fatigue after four weeks and eight weeks of treatment.

The results showed a significant difference after eight weeks of treatment in the group that had been given ginseng. People in the ginseng group had greater improvement in symptoms over the course of the study, compared to those who had been given placebo. The researchers found that greater benefit was reported in those who were receiving active cancer treatment, compared to those who had already completed treatment.

The authors concluded that American ginseng may benefit CRF when taken as a dose of 2,000 milligrams daily over an eight-week period. Further research is needed in order to confirm and better understand the role of ginseng in this population.

Many integrative therapies have been evaluated for possible benefit in relieving fatigue and related conditions. Among those that have been studied are homeopathy, iron, melatonin and vitamin B12. More research is needed to support the use of these treatments for fatigue.

How to Avoid Painful Visits to your Dentist

Recent research shows that regular supplementation with a full-spectrum probiotic may help avoid the development of dental caries.  Probiotics help to decrease the amounts of enamel-destroying bacteria in the mouth.  I am including a brief from the abstract describing the findings of the study:

Probiotics may help prevent the development of tooth decay by reducing a type of bacteria that is responsible, a study reports.

Taking good care of dental health can help prevent disease in the mouth and throughout the body. The health of the mouth can be an indicator of the individual's overall health. Many serious diseases, such as diabetes, human immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV), and some eating disorders (such as bulimia), show their first signs as symptoms in the mouth, such as oral thrush (an overgrowth of yeast in the mouth). It is for these reasons that healthcare professionals recommend complete, yearly oral exams.

Dental problems include dental cavities, gum diseases (such as gingivitis and periodontitis), canker sores (aphthous stomatitis), mucositis, fungal infections, oral leukoplakia, and oral cancer. The most common oral health problems are cavities and gum disease (including gingivitis and periodontitis). Most adults show signs of gum disease during their lifetime. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), gum disease affects about 14 percent of adults aged 45-54 years. Signs and symptoms of soft tissue diseases such as cold sores are common in adults and affect about 19 percent of those aged 25-44 years.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria (sometimes referred to as "friendly germs") that help to maintain the health of the intestinal tract and aid in digestion. They also help keep potentially harmful organisms in the gut (harmful bacteria and yeasts) under control. Most probiotics come from food sources, especially cultured milk products. Probiotics can be consumed as capsules, tablets, beverages, powders, yogurts, and other foods.

Probiotics are thought to work by colonizing the small intestine and crowding out disease-causing organisms, thereby restoring proper balance to the intestinal flora. They compete with harmful organisms for nutrients and may also produce substances that inhibit growth of harmful organisms in the gut. Probiotic bacteria have been found to stimulate the body's immune system. They may also aid in several gastrointestinal illnesses such as inflammatory bowel diseases, antibiotic-related diarrhea, Clostridium difficile toxin-induced colitis, infectious diarrhea, hepatic encephalopathy, irritable bowel syndrome and allergies.

In the current study, researchers evaluated trials looking at the potential impact of probiotics on the development of tooth decay. They conducted a review of 66 papers, of which 23 fulfilled their criteria.

The trials suggested that probiotics may help reduce levels of a bacteria called mutans streptococci (MS), which is found in the mouth and may be a significant contributor to tooth decay. The researchers reported that about two-thirds of the papers they evaluated reported that probiotics may help prevent the spread of MS in saliva or plaque in the short term.

The authors concluded that although these results are promising; however, more high-quality studies are needed before firm conclusions can be made.

An Easy Summer Salad,

Many of you know that I'm in the midst of compiling recipes that offer non-gluten alternatives to our everyday meals and desserts that we all enjoy.  I've decided to send this one out for you to try as my husband said, "Include this one in your recipe book," after trying it, last night.  This can serve 6-8, easily.

Pasta Salad

1, 8 oz. box of quinoa elbow pasta, cooked for 8 minutes in salted water and drained
2 cups of frozen or fresh baby peas
3 medium stalks of celery, finely chopped
3 medium carrots, finely chopped
1-2 small cucumbers, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion or shallots, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. chipotle pepper, optional
4 Tbsp. fresh herbs: cillantro, chives Or tarragon, fennel tops Or sage, oregano or any combination you like
1/3- 1/2 cup mayonnaise*
1/4- 1/3 cup avocado oil, grape seed oil or sunflower oil
organic lettuce and tomatoes, served on the side

*Mayonnaise
I make my own because mayonnaise without soy is just about impossible to find and I like how mine tastes, anyway.  I use a food processor and make a cup of it at a time, using various fresh herbs to taste.  The proportion is: one egg yolk, 1 tsp. dried mustard, 1 Tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 Tbsp. fresh herbs (optional) and 1 cup of oil--I use grape seed or rice bran or a combination.  Place all ingredients into the food processor except for the oil.  With the processor running, pour a thin stream of oil into the container, very slowly.  It should look fairly thick when all is incorporated.  Place the unused amount in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator.  I think you'll like the taste as you can make many different kinds of mayonnaise this way.

After the pasta and peas are cooked,  you'll want to cool these.  Add the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, mix in the mayonnaise and oil, according to how moist you like the mixture and add the pasta and peas, taste to make sure you have enough salt and pepper, chill for 3-4 hours and enjoy.

Since it's summer, if you have other garden vegetables in abundance, please experiment with whatever veggies you have on hand.  I don't normally put tomatoes directly into the salad as they can cause it to get mushy.  Let me know how your family likes this.  Since we are only 2 people, I halved this recipe as day old quinoa pasta noodles become chewy and that affects the salad.  My husband had 3 servings of this, so we didn't run into that problem!

What is the Purpose of ChemTrails?

I have been reading articles about the existence of Chemtrails for a few years, now.  When someone who works at our local health food store first told me about these, I have to admit both ignorance and surprise.  What in the world would the purpose be to further purposely pollute our skies, seas and earth with toxic chemicals?  Wouldn't the people doing this be injured, too?  I'm not one who believes in conspiracy theories, but this is just too bizarre for words, if true.

After reading about these, I began looking in the sky every time I saw a jet trail, just to see if there were any differences among them.  Interestingly enough, I began to see a pattern.  A jet trail that we recognize from our childhood, quickly dissipates behind the plane, as it is primarily the result of the cold atmosphere combining with the heat of the engines that produce condensation.  Other jet trails that I've observed don't dissipate, for a significant amount of time, and they appear as a thin single or double line behind the plane.

Honestly, I don't know what to think, but I do know that these chemtrails have been reported to contain heavy metals and mold and other noxious agents and chemicals.  I can say that I have seen that the amount of mold in homes in the North East has increased to nearly epidemic proportions....I had never heard of this as a child and had never heard anyone speaking about this problem until the past couple of decades.  I cannot say if these things are related, but I do find it a curious coincidence.  As such, I am including some of the information from a report for your consideration.  I think this possibility does necessitate a conversation, at the very least.

For more than a decade, first the United States and then Canada's citizens have been subjected to a 24/7/365 day aerosol assault over our heads made of a toxic brew of poisonous heavy metals, chemicals, and other dangerous ingredients. None of this was reported by any mainstream media. The US Department of Defense [DOD] and military have been systematically blanketing all our skies with Chemtrails (also known as Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering).(2) These differ vastly from the usual plane contrails that evaporate rather quickly in the sky. Chemtrails do not dissipate. Rather, planes (fitted with special nozzles) release aerosols "lines" in the sky that do not evaporate. Multiple planes are deployed, flying parallel (or often "checkerboard" patterns) overhead; and soon the sky is blanketed with many grayish-white lines [miles and miles long, although this is changing]. At first, these lines are thin; but soon they expand and, in a short time, merge together. Our once-blue sky has vanished and has been replaced by a grayish-white toxic haze that blots out and greatly diminishes our usual sunshine.

 

Military and commercial planes are involved in more than 60 secret operations. Last year, when I flew across the country, I saw a United Airlines jet (flying below us at about 37,000 feet) spraying a black aerosol that went for miles and miles across the sky. This clandestine program now includes aerosol-spraying planes in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand [all NATO countries]. Over the years, hundreds (if not thousands) of people have called and written their public officials to get answers...none appear to be forthcoming.

EMFR Part 2 Or Why We Need to be Concerned

In 2007, the Bioinitiative Working Group released a 650-page report citing more than 2,000 studies detailing the toxic effects of emf's from all sources. Chronic exposure to low-level radiation (like cell phones, wi-fi, blue tooth, I-Pods, computers, etc.) can cause a variety of cancers, impair immunity and contribute to Alzheimer's disease and dementia, heart disease and other ailments.

Additionally, every single study of brain tumors that looks at 10 or more years of use shows an increased risk of brain cancer. Australia reports an increase in pediatric brain cancers of 21% (children's brains are many times more susceptible to the damages of emfr than adults) in just ONE decade. Studies across Europe and the UK show an increase in brain cancers of 40% in the last twenty years.

Brain cancer has now surpassed leukemia as the number one cancer killer of children. The BioInitiative Report also includes studies showing evidence for exposure to emfr brain tumors, acoustic neuromas (tumors on the auditory nerve which damages hearing) and childhood cancers like leukemia.

A review of 11 long-term epidemiological studies published in the Journal of Surgical Neurology two years ago revealed that using a cell phone for 10 or more years approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same side of the head where the cell phone is typically held.

Now, what if you don't use a cell phone; is there still a risk of interrupting the normal functioning of your immune system? The answer is, “Yes!” Over the past decade, we have seen a proliferation of cell phone towers (now, 3G isn't enough, we need 4, 5 and 6G strength signals which are so much more powerful) all over the US. My brother, who visited China, tells me that there is no place in China in which you cannot get a cell phone signal. Wow. Can you imagine the emfr which is bombarding every Chinese person? Additionally, look how many of us use hand-held devices and wi-fi connections for our computers. Look how many of us use computers or i-Phones. And, those thinking that a computer shield is helpful will be disappointed to know that shields do nothing to protect us from emfr emission.

A very simple way to decrease our exposure to emfr is simply to turn off any mobile device and definitely not to sleep in a room containing a computer/router/modem that is on.  Also very helpful is to not go to sleep with the television on or a clock radio near your head or on a nearby nightstand.  I suggest that when considering moving to a new home, one not move within at least a half mile of a transmission tower or substation. When driving, is your connection to a blue tooth or other devices always on?  Again, my suggestion is to turn those off, especially if your children are in the car.  Are the children always playing with their i-Pad or other mobile devices?  That puts them at considerable risk.  I know these devices have made all our lives simpler, at least that's what we think. Perhaps, we need to rethink "convenience" and the price we appear to be paying for it.

Can Just Being Around Technology Be Harmful?

We have all come to accept the dangers posed to non-smokers by second-hand smoke.  Years ago, not only was this concept ridiculed by tobacco companies, but by "science" and even some in the medical profession.  My parents told me of a time when doctors even "prescribed" smoking to their patients who exhibited signs of anxiety to calm their nerves.  Wow.  I wonder how many in the health care profession, today, would even acknowledge that that occurred.  I doubt many as all of us, including allopaths, enjoy a bout of amnesia when it serves a purpose.

I'd like us to keep these thoughts in mind during our discussions as to the possible dangers that electromagnetic field radiation pose for all of us, whether or not we actually use the devices that emit this type of radiation.  About a year and a half ago I wrote a series of articles concerning this issue in my short-lived newsletter.  I think the time may now be upon us to discuss this topic, again.  According to the interest that is generated, I'll decide how many articles to include.

I am going to be doing a series on this topic, as I believe it is of vital importance that all of us are correctly informed about why this type of radiation is so potentially dangerous to us all, no matter where we live or what we do for a living.

Electromagnetic field radiation is indicated as “emfr” in the literature. It's also easier to write in the abbreviated form. Basically, emfr is a low frequency magnetic radiation that is generated, constantly and continuously, by microwave and cellular technology. In nature, there are many electromagnetic fields that have no adverse affects on our bodies. That is because natural fields are either temporally constant (same frequency) or spatially constant (same shape), but never both. Man-made signals, by necessity for communication, are both temporally and spatially constant. These constant signals, with prolonged exposure, can cause the protein vibratory receptors located on our cell membranes to resonate (vibrate).

This may seem a bit complex, but it is truly important that we understand that all communication, whether auditory or biochemical/physiological is done by vibration. All cells vibrate. The colors we see are the result of vibration just as all sounds are the result of vibrations. When any force interrupts, damages or changes these physical vibrations, our body considers itself to be under attack. We have mechanisms that can address an attack that the body recognizes, but no mechanisms to address foreign attacks. Therein lies the problem at the core level of our cells: they do not recognize the emfr and are unable to develop any protection for this. As is the case with all man-made signals, our cells react by going into what is called, “sympathetic lock,” in order to try to protect the cell from this perceived invasion. Sympathetic lock prevents the cell from taking in nutrition and releasing toxins. Cells will die if this sympathetic lock is not reversed.

This cell membrane reaction triggers a cascade of events that can then manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms and diseases, starting with compromising the immune system. If the exposure is prolonged, the stress-response system (our adrenals) becomes exhausted and the competency of the immune system declines to below normal. As a result, animals and humans are more susceptible to cancer and infectious diseases and conditions related to immune system compromise.

With the development of a nation-wide electrical grid over a century ago, which now envelops virtually every part of Earth, has come many diseases that can impair or kill us. During the past 100 years, we have methodically filled in the electromagnetic spectrum far beyond what occurs in nature.

The next article will deal with scientific studies and what they have found about emfr and what effects it may cause.
