The Truth about Hormones, The Pill and Perimenopause wiht Dr Jerilyn Prior Dr. Jerilynn C. Prior, Professor of Endocrinology at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada and Scientific Director of the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (www.cemcor.ca) is a clinician-scientist whose work is internationally recognized. Her research and synthesis has shown the importance of progesterone as well as estrogen for women's bone, heart and breast health and also that perimenopause is hormonally distinct from menopause, entailing higher rather than low or dropping estrogen levels. She graduated with honours from Boston University School of Medicine 1969, is the author of Estrogen's Storm Season--stories of perimenopause (Finalist in Health section, Independent Publisher's Book Awards, 2006) and has recently co-authored The Estrogen Errors--Why Progesterone is better for Women's Health (2009, Praeger, Conn).

Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation with Dr. Devra Davis Few of the world’s five billion cell phones users question whether these universal gadgets are safe. In fact, these devices that we hold to our heads and keep in our pockets work like miniature radio stations that radiate microwave energy. U.S. cell phone safety standards, set almost three decades ago prior to the era of handheld wireless technology, assume that the average call was less than six minutes. Today’s average smart phone, time of use, or user—more than half of whom are under the age of 20, their brains still developing and their skulls more susceptible than adults’. Remember: we once thought smoking was harmless. Dr. Devra Davis, who   was designated a National Book Award Finalist for When Smoke Ran Like Water (2002, Basic Books),  founded Environmental Health Trust in 2007 in Teton County, Wyoming to provide basic research and education about environmental health hazards and promote constructive policies locally, nationally and internationally

How You Can Change Anything About Life with Your Mind with Dr. Mario Beauregard Unlike the brain, the mind—our thoughts, beliefs, emotions—has no mass, no volume, no shape and cannot be measured in space and time. As a result, Beauregard mandates a move beyond materialist science and points instead to a new model through which to study the mind. Reality encompasses much more than the physical world, he says, and so we must acknowledge all empirical evidence related to mind and consciousness, not only those compatible to materialist theories.  As such, he offers reader remarkable and engaging stories of “unexplained” phenomena like mystical experiences and near-death experiences. The work of Beauregard and other researchers has shown that neurofeedback can control seizures, and thoughts and emotions can affect how our bodies can turn certain genes on or off. If immaterial minds affect what happens in our brains, our bodies, and beyond our bodies, the implications for our health and well-being are life-changing. Mario Beauregard, Ph.D., is an associate researcher at the University of Montreal in the departments of psychology and radiology, as well as at the Neuroscience Research center. Dr. Beauregard earned two postdoctoral fellowships in experimental neuropsychology, the first at the University of Texas in Houston, and the second at the Montreal Neurological Institute at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre at McGill University. The author of over one hundred publications in neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry, Beauregard has been selected by World media Net to be among the “One Hundred Pioneers of the 21st Century” due to his considerable research into the neuroscience of consciousness. He is the author of Brain Wars: The Scientific Battle Over the Existence of the Mind and the Proof That Will Change the Way We Live Our Live www.mariobeauregard.com
