Government GMO food label coming soon

Should You Care About the Government’s new “Bioengineered” GMO Food Label?

Starting January 2022, some grocery store foods will begin featuring a statement or a symbol indicating that they contain “Bioengineered” ingredients. This labeling law -- called by critics the DARK Act when it passed, Denying Americans the Right to Know -- is the U.S. government’s solution to informing the public about foods that contain GMOs.

Unfortunately, the law is not a sufficient way to keep GMOs out of your shopping cart. For starters, it largely does not address new types of GMOs, nor meat and dairy products that come from animals fed GMOs

Does Fish Oil Help Prevent "Heart Disease"?

Recently, their has been article claiming that the American Heart Associaton is wrong and that essential fatty acid omega 3 fish oil does not help a person prevent heart disease.

It's interesting that it says prevent, assuming that somehow it will happen and you want to stop that instead of looking at what is needed to have or build heart health.

The second thing is what "fish oil" did they use? Natural fish oil from fish that are not contaminated by pollutants or some fish oil with the same molecular makeup but made in a laboratory. It says it was the "purified form of EPA" (essential fatty acid) purified by a laboratory or come from a fish? I thought it interesting that the comment :a high-dose of fish oil, such as Vascepa:-- Vascepe is a drug, so made in the lab not natural.

These are all questions that should be asked when reading any new research studies that come out.

The answer to any disease is to build health. You need to find out what your body needs to function properly and follow a diet and any needed supplments to attain health.

Cod Liver Oil and Hypothyroidism by Dr. Eric Berg

If you have hypothyroidism, I highly recommend you take cod liver oil. The reason why is because cod liver oil contains vitamin A, which is a thyroid-stimulating hormone. If your body sees a decrease in vitamin A, it could increase the size of the thyroid and decrease the absorption of iodine. Here’s what that would mean for you…

Cod Liver Oil and Hypothyroidism

Can cod liver oil prevent COVID-19? Right now, there’s a study being done in Norway that indicates cod liver oil may decrease the number of severe cases of COVID-19. At this time, I’m not saying that cod liver oil will prevent the virus, but the results have been promising. Here’s what we know and what you need to know.

Are you confused about what you’ve been told about Neuropathy?

Let's clear up the terms

You might be confused by all the names that are given to “Neuropathy”. I want to clear some of this up.

The main thing to understand is that neuropathy is nerve damage. You can call it by the area affected or by the cause of the nerve damage, but it is still the same thing – nerve damage.

In the age we live in there are lots of ways to damage the body, and the nerves. The toxic chemicals in the environment, the food we eat with all its additives, preservatives and processing as well as many of the drugs that are so readily given to treat health problems are all causes of nerve damage. There are also many diseases that cause neuropathy as well as trauma that come from not only accidents but surgery.

For a full list of these causes, you can read:

Causes & Risk Factors of Neuropathy.

Neuropathy is also named by the type of damage:

Types of Neuropathy Damage:

There are many names given to the type of neuropathy depending on the nerve involved:

Focal neuropathy – this means that only one (or at most a few) nerves are injured. The pain, numbness and/or weakness are confined to a single limb or a small area of the body or the head. They are usually caused by compression or trauma. Basically, one nerve gets damaged. The best known of these is carpal tunnel syndrome where the median nerve is damaged by compression of that nerve.

Mononeuropathy – Another term for only one nerve being affected.

Generalized neuropathies – these are associated with general medical problems – infections, diabetes, immune, nutritional related, drug induced, etc. Again, the nerves get damaged. In this case it can start with one nerve and spread, or it can affect many nerves depending on the cause of the neuropathy.

Polyneuropathies – another name for generalized neuropathy

Axonal neuropathy – this is a technical term for the microscopic part of the nerve that is damaged. If you think of a wire you have the inner core of the wire and the insulation around it. The core of the “wire” is called axon.

Demyelinating – again if we think of a wire, the nerve is surrounded by a fatty tissue called myelin. This is similar to the plastic insulation around an electrical wire. When the medical doctor calls your neuropathy demyelinating, it means that the myelin sheath around the nerve is breaking down. The way that medical doctors determine if it is demyelinating or axonal is to do a nerve conduction studies (NCS) which can distinguish between these two types.

Small Fiber Neuropathy - Nerve Endings Damage – this is when the very ends of the nerves are damaged.

Special “types” of Neuropathy:

Hereditary Neuropathy – When it is considered inherited. Charcot Marie Tooth is considered hereditary.

Idiopathic Neuropathy – When they can’t figure out what the cause is.

The following types of Neuropathy are actually the area that is affected. In each type of neuropathy you can have a sensory nerve damaged or a motor nerve damaged. Sensory nerves damage creates pain, numbness, tingling, etc. Motor nerves create the inability of the body to send messages to the muscles and thus you get weakness and sometimes even drop foot.

Autonomic – affects the autonomic system – glands, internal organs, etc.

Cranial – affects the head

Diabetic amyotrophy – weakness on both sides of the body, blood vessel disease may be the cause.

Femoral Neuropathy develops in the front of one thigh, with muscle weakness and wasting.

Optic – affects the eyes

Thoracic/Lumbar Radiculopathy occurs in the torso. Affects a band of the chest or abdominal wall on one or both sides.

Unilateral Foot Drop – damage to the peroneal nerve – trauma injury.

Hope this clears up any confusion you might have had with all the names being used to describe “neuropathy”.
