Summary: This is our first show. Cathy and I introduce ourselves and explain why we are producing this podcast. See the About Us page for more about our reasons. First, apologies for the audio quality of this 1st episode. This podcasting gig seemed simple but there are a lot of little technical things that can trip you up. I'm sure the shows will get progressively better as I learn the technical stuff. (This lesson learned was about the importance of adequate microphone input volume.) Links to topics we discussed. Al Sears, MD - Drugs can rob you of more than money. Al Sears, MD talks about how popular prescription and OTC medications rob your body of vital nutrients producing even more side affects that the ones they tell you about. For example, aspirin makes it harder for your body to absorb vitamin C and Statins (for lowering cholesterol) can affect sexual performance. On the same website you will also find the article we discussed about inflammation and hidden food allergies. Look for the June 2008, issue 28 article. SPERTI - The KBD D/UV lamp that we use to get proper levels of Vitamin D. ENLITA the elimination diet we are following to find hidden food allergies or sensitivities that might be causing inflammation. STEVIA - The natural herb that is sweeter than sugar, and better for you! also read this article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia and notice the section headed Political Controversy. This is a classic example of what is wrong with the food and medicine supply in this country. If a corporation can't patent it and make money off it, they get it outlawed! The Daily Green - has the article about organic labeling. Videos that we found enlightening! King Corn Future of Food Fast Food Nation Supersize Me Sicko The Real Dirt on Farmer John All of them can be rented from Netflix or purchased from our Amazon store. Broken links?
