Dr. Oz Flip Flops as High-Profile Attacks on Organic Food Intensify

"So you're being told organic food is no more nutritious than conventional and it's not worth your extra money. Well I'm here to say that it is worth the investment. Why do I say that? Pesticides." - - Dr. Oz, Oct. 19, 2012

Less than two months after telling millions of TV viewers that organic food is "worth the investment," America's most popular TV doctor is singing a different tune. In the December issue of Time magazine, Dr. Oz described organic foodies as "elitist" - part of the 1% - and claimed that conventional foods are nutritionally equivalent to organic foods.

How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?

Institute for Functional Medicine Vice Chair Mark Hyman, MD explains the difference between conventional medicine and functional medicine, using the example from his own practice of a young girl with severe autoimmune disease. While the conventional medicine approach suppresses the inflammation in this patient, functional medicine asks and addresses the question of why the inflammation exists in the first place and looks at the scientific drivers (causes) of the disease, which include toxins, infections, allergens, stress and poor diet.

A Source of Food that isn't GMO 

The following is from an email sent by Trader Joe's:  

"Our approach to Genetically Modified Food is simple.  We do not allow GMO ingredients in our private label products - anything with Trader Joe's, Jose's, Ming's on the label. 

When developing products containing ingredients likely to come from genetically modified sources, we have a supplier of the product in question perform the necessary research to provide documentation that the suspect ingredients are from non-GMO sources.

The documentation is in the form of affidavits, identity-preserved certification of seed stock, and third-party lab results from testing of the ingredients in question. 

In addition to this work done in developing a given item, we perform random audits of items with suspect ingredients, using an outside, third-party lab to perform the testing. 

Given our position on GMO ingredients in Trader Joe's label products and the work done in support of that position, it is our expectation that our products test as non-GMO.

We have yet to take the approach of labeling products as non-GMO because there are no clear guidelines from the US governmental agencies covering food and beverage labeling.

Instead of waiting for such guidelines to be put into effect and based upon customer feedback, we took a more holistic approach and made the no GMO ingredients position part of what the Trader Joe's label encompasses.  

We're unable to make the same claims for branded products.  Organic products regardless of brand, are by definition non-GMO."

Sinus Relief for Winter - In a Very Short Time I Felt Relief

Along with the arrival of winter, many people suffer from allergies and sinus issues that persist during this time of year. You don't have to go through winter suffering.

The WSN Sinus Relief Formula is designed to rapidly relieve congested, inflamed and swollen sinuses. It reduces or gets rid of thick mucus draining into the throat and the frequent hawking accompanying it.

It also addresses and gets rid of the headaches caused by the congestion and inflammation of mucus membranes.

Here's what one of our customers has to say about it:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Thank you for your Sinus Relief Formula. During the months of April and May I was really suffering with chronic sinus congestion. At first I didn't even know what it was or why my head was hurting so badly. Then I received an e-mail from Wellness Support Network that talked about their new Sinus Relief Formula.

"It occurred to me at that time that I might be suffering from sinus pressure, something I never had before. I ordered a bottle, used it as directed, and within a very short time felt relief. I could feel everything draining and emptying out of my sinuses.

"I have not had the problem since. I have just ordered my second bottle, not because I need it anymore, but because I don't ever want to be without it, just in case.

"By the way, the reason I was willing to try the Sinus Relief Formula is because I am a very satisfied customer with another one of your products.

"Your products and responsive, knowledgeable staff have earned my trust and my loyalty. Thank you Wellness Support Network!"
