Hi Everyone,
This morning I spoke to a patient who recently saw a friend of hers at a party who works in the pharmaceutical industry. When she asked him about the H1N1 vaccine he responded, "In my opinion its a bunch of BS. We just saw a huge opportunity to make a lot of money."
After hearing how many families from my daughter's class are getting sick right now, and running into a fellow class parent and friend today who shared her anxiety about the potential effect on her child with asthma, I felt an obligation to write further about this. (And I've re-written this 3 times already, and decided to spare you my diatribe about special interest groups and mis-information, and just give you the facts).
How much have you heard from the mainstream media about effective ways
Here's what my family and I are doing to prevent/treat swine flu (and any flu), right now:
1. High-dose Vitamin D3*: (Google it for its anti-viral & asthma-lessening effects!)
Adults: for prevention, 5,000 iu per day; (if coming down with illness, 50,000 iu per day for 3 days, then drop back down to 5,000 iu per day).
I am exposed to many sick people through my practice (including H1N1), so I take 10,000 iu per day for prevention; & 50,000 iu per day for 3 days, at first signs of illness.
My children, Pia & Chloe, take: 4,000 iu per day for prevention, 10,000 iu for 3 days, in acute illness.
* Many people in Northern climates are D3 deficient! Blood titres will show levels. Some scientists believe the yearly flu is a side effect of vitamin D3 deficiency. If you think of how little we've seen the sun this spring and summer, it ties in with the early incidence of colds and flus this season, perhaps with the added threat of the swine flu. Think about it, usually 1/2 hour of sunlight exposure will create 10,000 iu of vitamin D3 through your skin! These numbers really illustrate how pitiful the RDA is for D3 (only 400 iu per day), especially in the months without a lot of strong sun. Here's a great site for more information: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
2. Triple Flu Defense: This liquid homeopathic remedy is reformulated every year to be most active against the current flu viruses! Our whole family takes it using these dosages: prevention = 20 drops 1x week. When ill, 20 drops 4x day.
3. K-PAX Fuel of Life: Formulated by Jon Kaiser, MD and shown to boost white blood cell activity over 27% even in active AIDS patients, these capsules are one of the strongest natural anti-viral remedies available. Laura & Evers: dosage for prevention = 4 caps 2x day and when ill, 8 caps 2x day. Pia & Chloe, 1/2 the adult dose.
We also take a number of homeopathic and Anthroposophical remedies if we are ill - which are specific for the person who is ailing.
It doesn't happen often, but Chloe did became ill with a flu last Friday night. I am certain it was due to the fact that we were out of Vitamin D and Triple Flu Defense and she had gone without them for a week. I got home Saturday afternoon with a re-supply of theses remedies, which she began taking right away. Her fever broke Sunday morning & she went to bed Sunday night about 60% better.
Fear is the worst thing for your and your children's health. However, prevention begins with forethought, something my daughter's recent illness is a vivid illustration of.
If you wish to begin providing your family with the same course of preventative, natural remedies that I trust to keep my own family well, contact our office at (203) 708-9299 and order your supply.
Warmest regards!
Evers
In last month's newsletter we promised to provide you with more specific details about the different practices that contribute to Integrated Medicine. Our first article, still available on our web site, explores the theories behind mind-body medicine. This month we will provide you with a better understanding of Homeopathic medicine. We hope our articles provide insights and information while inspiring deeper investigation, and we welcome your questions or comments.
Homeopathic Origins
Known documentation of the core principles of homeopathic medicine dates back as far as writings by Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.). In 1796 German physician C. F. Samuel Hahnemann developed these principals into a system of medicine that he called "Homeopathy." His research was so extensive and thorough that it is considered by modern medicine to be the first ever "clinical trials." What Hippocrates and Hahnemann couldn't know was that their theories were actually based upon advanced science, known to us today as Quantum Physics, which recognizes the interchangeability of matter and energy.
Homeopathic Medicine In Practice
Homeopathic medicine's fundamental healing principles are based upon the "law of similars," otherwise known as "like cures like," and the ability of the body's natural energetic forces to be stimulated to positively affect the body's "matter." Homeopathy maintains that this vital force has the ability to react and adapt to internal and external causes, and can be empowered to eradicate illnesses through the physical introduction of artificial symptoms similar to those of a given disease
Resolution of an illness occurs when the sick individual is given a small dose of a medicine capable of producing symptoms similar to those of their disease. The immune system's response is thus energetically enhanced to promote healing and optimal health.
Remedies As A Mirror
One way to better understand how Homeopathic remedies work is to imagine having a virus or disease prevalent enough to have "stunned" or overwhelmed your immune system. In other words, your ailment is winning the battle, becoming chronic or worse. Through the introduction of specific Homeopathic remedies your immune system is reawakened. As if peering into a mirror, your body's physical and energetic self "sees" the symptoms more clearly. Through this renewed recognition, your immune system is more capable of defending you against the disease itself.
Used As Prevention
The same principals of stimulating the immune system apply when using Homeopathic remedies to prevent illness. Sensing the symptoms, the immune system strengthens its defenses against that illness or virus in advance of external exposure.
Different From A Vaccine
It is vital to understand that unlike vaccines, homeopathic remedies do not contain diseases, dangerously toxic heavy metals, or squalene oil adjuvants used by pharmaceuticals to transmit the vaccine into your body. Homeopathic remedies are water based solutions of greatly diluted natural elements that only replicate symptoms. You can read more about the dangers of vaccines by clicking on the links contained in this issue's article, "Swine Flu: Cutting Through The Hype" .
Recognized And Accepted
The American Institute of Homeopathy describes its medical specialty as a scientific, therapeutic method which embodies a philosophy of understanding people and illness in a holistic context with the goal of promoting optimal health and healing, based upon the FDA recognized Homeopathic Pharmacopœia of the United States.
We agree, which is why Homeopathy is one of the elements of our integrated, holistic, family practice.

What is “Integrated Medicine?” Ask ten different doctors this question and you might get 10 different answers. It’s an exciting topic in that new findings are being published every day about how the success of medical outcomes are improving through integrating different therapies, protocols and even medical paradigms.
My answer is this: Integrated Medicine is a model through which a physician or therapist first looks at a person who is coming for help, asks themselves, “What does this person need to become whole again?” and then uses any and every tool and resource available to facilitate that healing process. It is more than the combined use of various “conventional” and “alternative” therapies, but aims to access deeper levels of our consciousness. For example, a hug could be clinically described as, “two persons wrapping their arms around each other and squeezing,” but we all know this explanation lacks the true essence of what a hug is all about!
To begin to understand and appreciate the “process” of Integrated Medicine we first have to appreciate that while our bodies are made of interconnected physical systems–cardiovascular, skeletal, endocrine, nervous, etc, we are more than the sum of these parts. We are in actual fact, beings composed of integrated and interpenetrating Intelligences: body, mind, soul, and spirit.
To be healthy, we need all these aspects of our beings to be “aligned” and working harmoniously. If there is dis-harmony, there is dis-ease. As an Integrated Medical physician, I seek to align and integrate all effective medicinal modalities to heal all the integrated elements, or Intelligences, of your being.
The patient that comes into our office with fatigue and brain-fog may be suffering from iron-deficiency, anemia, or adrenal exhaustion, perhaps hypoglycemia, decreased melatonin production, or the reluctance to go through the natural process of grief at a loved-one’s death after a long illness. As I work with the patient to find the root of her ailments, we may discover that a number of these diagnoses are correct, perhaps even all of them. This patient doesn’t have a Prozac deficiency. She may need a change in
Heart disease is the leading killer of women over the age of 25. It kills nearly twice as many women in the US than all types of cancer combined, including breast cancer. If you’re surprised by these numbers you’re not alone. Only 13% of women believe heart disease is a threat to them. Worse, a recent survey showed that less than half the doctors thought of heart disease as a major threat to women, and less than half the women receiving regular medical care say that their doctors have ever talked to them about reducing their risk of heart disease.
This underestimation, by women and their doctors, of the very real and severe danger of heart disease is a primary contributor to the high death toll because in most cases, with adequate awareness, heart disease is preventable. This is worth repeating: the disease that kills more women in the US than all cancers combined is in most cases preventable.
Preventing heart disease depends completely upon first acknowledging its threat and then educating one’s self to the various risk factors which can include high cholesterol, blood pressure, estrogen levels, heredity, diet, and lifestyle. Does this list seem like too much to manage? It’s not at all. Most of the risk factors can be monitored through blood tests and all of the factors can be controlled by better, easy to follow, heart-healthy lifestyle habits.
It is also important to know that the symptoms of heart disease displayed by women are significantly different than those presented by men. Because they don’t display the “classic” symptoms of heart disease or a heart attack, women often go undiagnosed, or wait too long to seek medical help while having a heart attack. Knowing the warning signs is as important as knowing how to prevent the disease to begin with.
At The Center For Health Renewal we strongly believe in empowered patients and advise women to take charge for their health through awareness, early diagnosis, and lifestyle management.
Heart disease kills nearly twice as many women in the US than all types of cancer combined, including breast cancer.

Natural D-Hist goes head to head with Claritin with better results and fewer side effects.
Allergies can make us miserable any time of the year, but during the spring and summer they tend to be worse and keep us from enjoying the outdoors. Unfortunately, most anti-allergy products are chemically designed to force the body to function in a way that is not natural, hence the many side effects.
Two of our Center’s most popular products are “Natural D-Hist,” for adults and “D-Hist Jr.,” for children. Scientifically formulated for maximum effectiveness with carefully selected dosages of four natural components, and thoroughly researched, Natural D-Hist is a fast acting, non-drowsy, all natural remedy that can stop allergic reactions before they begin. And best of all, there are no side effects and a even a money back guarantee.
To help convince you of its effectiveness, we’re offering free samples of Natural D-Hist for you to try. To further convince you that it’s so much better for you than conventional allergy drugs, we’re providing a head to head comparison of the side effects caused by Natural D-Hist and Claritin. All the listed information comes directly from the two products’ literature.
D-Hist Jr. & Natural D-Hist's side effects: Their packaging information states that
Natural D-Hist's extensive human trials have produced no side effects. And just for good measure they go on to say that a person’s first time taking some herbal remedies may result in a mild upset stomach that usually disappears when the herb is taken closer to meal time. And, even though none have been recorded with Natural D-Hist, they warn that if an individual happens to be allergic to any given herb, a mild rash or hives could result.
The listed side effects for Claritin tablets, Claritin Reditabs and Claritin syrup are: Headache, somnolence, fatigue, dry mouth, nervousness, wheezing, hyperkinesias, abdominal pain, conjunctivitis, malaise, upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, epistaxis (nose bleed), pharyngitis, influenza-like symptoms, tooth disorder, stomatitis, earache, rash, altered lacrimation, altered salivation, flushing, hypoesthesia, impotence, increased sweating, thirst, angioneurotic edema, asthenia, back pain, blurred vision, chest pain, eye pain, fever, leg cramps, rigors, tinnitus, weight gain, hypertension, hypotension, palpitations, superventricular tachyarrhythmias, syncope, tachycardia, blepharospasm, dizziness, dysphonia, hypertonia, migraine, paresthesia, tremor, vertigo, altered taste, anorexia, constipation, dyspepsia, flatulence, gastritis, hiccup, increased appetite, loose stools, nausea, vomiting, arthalgia, myalgia, agitation, amnesia, anxiety, confusion , decreased libido, depression, impaired concentration, insomnia, irritability, paranoia, breast pain , dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, vaginitis, bronchitis, bronchospasm, coughing, dyspnea, hemoptysis, laryngitis, nasal dryness, sinusitis, sneezing, dermatitis, dry hair, dry skin, photosensitivity reaction, pruritus, purpura urticaria, altered micturition, urinary discoloration , urinary incontinence, urinary retention, abnormal hepatic function, including jaundice, hepatitis and hepatic necrosis, alopecia, anaphylaxis, breast enlargement, erythema multiforme, peripheral edema, thrombocytopenia, and finally, seizures.

The media has provided lots of coverage about the spreading flu and some good tips for avoiding it. But little has been said about natural prevention tactics that strengthen your immune system and your resistance to this potentially dangerous virus.
The five most important therapeutic categories for supporting the immune system include:
1. Diet (lots of fruits and veggies & low or no white flour or sugar products)
2. Exercise (moderate)
3. Intestinal Health (fiber & probiotics)
4. Stress Management (including sleep!)
5. Clinically Proven Immune-Boosting Supplements
We think it’s a good time to experience the powerful positive effects of natural supplements scientifically designed to boost your immune system and prevent viral infections.
*A few targeted supplements that we highly recommend are:

We encourage you to call and order your immune building, virus preventing supplements while supplies last. (203) 708-9299
The Store Shelves Are Loaded, So, Where Do You Start?
Shopping for the best nutritional supplements can be confusing. Heck, just looking for the healthiest teas leaves me in the grocery aisles reading the labels of 10 different boxes. And in the end, I only know what their packaging promotes.
So, how can we know which brand, processing method, dosage, or combination of ingredients makes the best supplement for us and our current state of health? I’d like to believe the ads and store employees, but I know neither are 100% reliable or fully informed. And too often fad-ads misguide us by promoting non-existing benefits.
For example, remember when taking “coral calcium” was believed to be the very best means for

Why I Do What I Do In college, I took up martial arts and while I was training, I stepped in some gymnasts’ chalk as I was throwing a kick. I slipped and flew about 5 ft up in the air before landing flat on my sacrum on the wooden gym floor. The pain in my low back was intense and continued to worsen until I was taking 25 Advil just to get through the day. The stronger pain drugs made me sick. I stopped exercising because of the pain and gained 20 lbs. After visiting 3 chiropractors, an orthopedist, a neurologist, a rheumatologist, and a neurosurgeon I always ended up with the same result: “We can’t find anything Physically wrong with you.” Obviously, my pain itself was not enough to convince these physicians that something was indeed seriously wrong.
