We are entering into mid autumn and the winter months. The cold, the darkness of the shorter days and being couped up indoors can bring on feelings of sadness, depression and loneliness. If you haven't heard or experienced this before, it is called Seasonal Affective Disorder or S.A.D. for short.

During this time of year and because of the symptoms mentioned in the previous paragraph, some people can become abusive ; verbally, mentally and or physically to their partners, family, or towards themselves. Some have suicidal ideation.

Several studies suggest SAD maybe brought on because of low vitamin D levels from low light exposure. Of course this a continually debated idea. However, it does stand to reason that low vitamin D levels can cause episodes of depression. After all, vitamin D is a hormone as well as a vitamin.

I would like to recommend a protocol that may help alleviate SAD for you or someone you care for. Supplement with 2,000 to 5,000 IU of vitamin D 3 each day, adjusted to your needs. Check your levels with a blood draw at the lab.

Supplement with omega 3 fish oil, 1,400 mg to 4,000 mg daily in divided doses. Ask your doctor before taking if you are on a prescription blood thinner. There are special lights that can be used as therapy. These can be purchased for sources available on the Internet or some clinics offer this service.

If needed, supplement with St John's wort. Use as directed on the package. If you are currently taking any prescription for anxiety or depression, do not use St John's wort.

As always, seek proper professional medical advice before taking any new prescriptions or supplements.

Vitamin D is more than a vitamin, it is also a hormone. I have been an advocate for vitamin D for many years. An insufficiency of this vitamin can cause you more suffering than you can imagine.

Listen people, I (and many other Naturopaths) have been telling you about the importance of supplementation and the benefits of vitamin D.

Vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of respiratory infection, regulates cytokine production and can limit the risk of other viruses such as influenza.

Having too many sugary drinks linked to higher cancer risk
By Lia Eustachewich | New York Post

Sugary drinks aren’t just bad for your waistline — they may also lead to an increase risk of cancer, a new study has found.

Researchers in France found that downing a small glass of 100 percent fruit juice or soda — about 3.3 ounces worth — a day was linked to an 18 percent increased risk of cancer and a 22 percent increase in breast cancer.

The study, published Wednesday in the BMJ medical journal, examined more than 100,000 adults with an average age of 42 over a period of nine years. Seventy-nine percent of participants were women.

Ninety-seven sugary drinks and 12 artificially sweetened beverages, including soda, sports drinks, energy drinks and 100 percent fruit juices with no added sugar, were tracked.

The participants filled out at least two 24-hour online validated dietary questionnaires, which calculated their daily consumption of sugary beverages.

During the follow-up period, researchers measured the daily intakes of sugary drinks against those of diet beverages and compared them to cancer cases in participants’ medical records.

Nearly 2,200 cases of cancer were diagnosed, with the average age at diagnosis being 59.

The study stops short concluding that sugar is the cause of cancer, though the authors suggested limiting your daily intake of sugary drinks isn’t a bad idea.

“As usual with nutrition, the idea is not to avoid foods, just to balance the intake,” Dr. Mathilde Touvier, who led the study, told the Guardian. “The recommendation from several public health agencies is to consume less than one drink per day. If you consume from time to time a sugary drink it won’t be a problem, but if you drink at least one glass a day it can raise the risk of several diseases – here, maybe cancer, but also with a high level of evidence, cardiometabolic diseases.”

Before you take an antibiotic you need to have a serious discussion with your Dr. Why am i being prescribed and antibiotic? Is the antibiotic really necessary? Is there a better choice for my condition? Also, remember the natural antibiotics that do not have the side effects as the pharmaceutical ones. Natural antibiotics to consider are: Oil of Oregano, Olive Leaf, Aged Garlic, and vitamin C to name but a few. If you have questions about the naturals, give me a call.

A grieving family is on a mission to warn everyone they meet about potentially deadly or debilitating side effects.
