Before the tour, there were 122 members in the country. During the tour, the chapter leaders signed up 150 new members – more than doubling the membership!! Chapter Leader Deborah Murtagh of Cambridge, New Zealand recruited 53 of those new members. Congratulations and much thanks to all those involved! Membership fees allow us to continue our many projects. As renewals and new memberships come in, the money is used to fund the various efforts we are undertaking. In 2011, we decided to give more attention to increasing our membership. We had received some comments from people familiar with our website stating that they didn’t even know we were a membership organization, so we have made changes to reflect that fact. We are focusing on inviting people to become members and apprising them of the benefits of membership. The more members we have, the more we can do in the areas of Education, Research and Activism. Our website is highly rated, we have a strong presence on Facebook – people know about us. Now we want to be sure they know they can join to help themselves and our work. With the help of the New Zealand chapter leaders and leaders and members everywhere, the membership is growing significantly! We are up to 14,500 members. One thing we have produced is a membership poster; we would be happy to send you a free copy. Email info@westonaprice.org to request one. We suggest displaying it next to our brochures in an office, store, meeting, etc. LATEST BLOG POSTINGS KAAYLA DANIEL’S BLOG: Recovery from Modern Diets "Soy and the Odwalla Chocolate Protein Monster" http://www.westonaprice.org/blogs/kdaniel/ Odwalla's Chocolate Protein Monster drink caused severe reactions in four people who were allergic to peanuts, and food safety experts don't know why. Because the drinks were not contaminated with peanuts, the likeliest cause was cross reactivity to soy. Although the Swedish National Food Administration warned about this possibility more than a decade ago, yet few people in the U.S. are aware of the soy-peanut connection. Many people have been harmed, and some have died. CHRIS MASTERJOHN’S BLOG: Mother Nature Obeyed Glutathione 101, Part 1: Cysteine Misbehaves, But Glutathione Saves http://www.westonaprice.org/blogs/cmasterjohn/2012/04/07/glutathione-101-part-1-cysteine-misbehaves-but-glutathione-saves/ In the past Chris has written several posts about the ability of raw milk to boost glutathione status. In his new Glutathione 101 series, he will explain the important roles glutathione plays in the body in more detail and explain how other components of nutrient-dense, traditional diets such as liver and bone broth can also boost glutathione status. In the first post in this series, he explains how glutathione protects against the potential toxicity of the amino acid cysteine by providing a safe means of storing it and transporting it throughout the body.

November 9-11 – Santa Clara, CA: 13th Annual Wise Traditions Conference QUESTIONS ANSWERED by Sally Fallon Morell Q. I was wondering if you had and can send me some info on high triglycerides? I have all the information about high cholesterol from your work and Mary Enig's BUT no info on high triglycerides. A. Uffe Ravnskov is of the opinion that there is no relationship between triglyceride levels and proneness to heart disease. Tryglyceride levels vary wildly throughout the day--they are highest just after a meal, so it is difficult to know even when to measure them. My understanding is that eating lots of carbohydrates tends to raise trygliceride levels. Q. I don't recall seeing any recipes for milk-based soups in Nourishing Traditions (such as a seafood chowder). Is there a reason for this that has to do with cooking the milk? Or was it just a simple omission? A. I think it would be better to add cream to soups rather than milk--the fats are much less damaged by heating than the proteins in milk. Q. I have been reading in Nourishing Traditions about fructose being a problem; does this mean no fruit? A. We have some clarification of this issue recently. The fructose in high fructose corn syrup and agave nectar are not like the fructose isomers in nature; these would be the sweeteners to avoid at all cost. See http://www.westonaprice.org/modern-foods/agave-nectar-worse-than-we-thought. But fruit in moderation is fine. Just be aware that all fructose, even that in fruit, has to be processed in the liver, so too much fruit might put a strain on the liver. UPCOMING EXHIBITS Visit Weston A.

No hace mucho tiempo me encontraba engullendo sin control todos los chocolates (y otros dulces) que tenía a mi alcance para "ahogar" los problemas y dificultades que me agobiaban, mientras mi piel y mi salud sufrían la agresión que les hacía, me castigaba, porque en mi mente, yo merecía el castigo por no resolver las cosas que no me gustaban de mi vida. Sanar mi alma, mi mente y mi espíritu me permitió detener mi compulsión con los chocolates, fue hasta este momento, cuando decidí abrir mi propio ser a mí misma, cuando entendí y acepté que estaba en un patrón de autoagresión, castigándome por no hacer lo que yo suponía que debía hacer, inicié un proceso de sanación. Entendí que todo lo que me rodea es mi alimento, no solo lo que como, me alimenta mi satisfacción con mi propio cuerpo, como profesional, como madre, como esposa, y como amiga, también tenía que sanar mi relación con Dios, y cuando hice estos cambios, descubrí que mi ansiedad por envolverme en el dulce sabor del chocolate entre otras dulces tentaciones, DESPARECIO.No fue fácil; tampoco fue de inmediato, pero cada pequeño paso que daba, me hacía sentir mejor conmigo misma, estaba llenando mi necesidad de alimentos primarios y eso iba reduciendo mi necesidad por alimentos per-se o secundarios. Con el tiempo, me di cuenta que no estaba sola, que este patrón es muy frecuente en nosotras las mujeres, sobre todo cuando llevamos en nuestros hombros la carga primaria de la familia, por eso anhelaba ayudar a otras mujeres que como yo sufren el juicio y el castigo de su peor enemigo, ELLAS mismas. Con mucho cariño y amor, después de aprender como sanarme y como ayudar a otras mujeres en mis mismas circunstancias, logré dar forma a este maravilloso taller que titulamos el Psicólogo Mario Pérez y yo: NUTRICION QUE SANA, por que todo lo que nos rodea es alimento, por que al nutrirnos con amor, buenas relaciones personales, satisfacción profesional, espiritualidad fortalecida y una buena alimentación podemos lograr poner en equilibrio nuestras vidas y podemos iniciar una nueva etapa llena de crecimiento personal y de salud. Esta es la esencia y el porque del origen de este taller, NUTRICION QUE SANA.Si te sentiste identificada con mi experiencia de vida, no te defraudaras de participar en el taller, será un camino de descubrimiento y de sanación en tu vida. Te esperamos. Iniciamos este viaje el 25 de Febrero de 2012 en las facilidades de mi clínica Med Wellness Clinic, te esperamos. Y le doy la bienvenida a todas las bellas y valiosas damas que ya se han registrado con entusiasmo en el taller. Si deseas mas información visita mi website www.medwellnessclinic.com o comunícate conmigo al 787-743-8583, con gusto te atenderé.Por que todas merecemos la vida y la salud que anhelamos.BendicionesDra. Rocío Lopez Las piedras en los riñones o litiasis renal, se manifiesta por el acumulo de minerales en la orina que se convierten en cuerpos sólidos (cálculos / piedras), son mas frecuentes en los riñones y uréteres, pero también se pueden formar en la vejiga.
Podemos percatarnos de la existencia de un calculo cuando aparece dolor súbito intenso, punzante, generalmente en el área de espalda baja y puede correr al área inguinal, puede haber sangrado, dificultad o dolor intenso al orinar. Los cálculos pueden estar formados por cristales de calcio, los mas frecuentes; pero en otras ocasiones son depósitos de acido úrico. En medicina tradicional se desconoce el origen de la formación de estos cálculos, y el único tratamiento es por cirugía (litotripsia extracorpórea, litotomía percutánea, etc.). En Med Wellness Clinic, bajo el concepto de medicina funcional se identifica que hay desbalances metabólicos que provocan la formación de piedras. Un desbalance en el equilibrio de minerales puede provocar una elevación de calcio lo que lleva a la formación de cristales de oxalato de calcio, aumentando así el riesgo de desarrollar piedras renales. Aunque el manejo agudo del dolor debe ser atendido en un hospital, una vez se resuelve el problema de urgencia, los pacientes se ven resignados a vivir a la expectativa de cuando será la próxima visita al hospital. La solución esta en atender de raíz el problema con un enfoque integrativo, que no envuelve cirugía. Cuando identificamos específicamente donde está el desbalance del metabolismo, nos permite la oportunidad de reducir hasta en un 90% la formación de nuevas piedras. Con el enfoque de medicina funcional que aplicamos en Med Wellness Clinic, se corrige tu alimentación, se reduce la inflamación y se balancea el metabolismo para hacerte posible tener una vida normal sin el temor de volver a padecer una piedra en el riñón.

La próstata es una glándula de tamaño similar a una nuez, localizada debajo de la vejiga, alrededor de la uretra, secreta el fluido llamado semen. La inflamación de la próstata es conocida como prostatitis. Los síntomas mas frecuentes son:
Por esto, es importante que en toda persona que padezca disfunción eréctil se haga una evaluación para descartar prostatitis como una de las causas. La prostatitis puede ser causada por infecciones bacterianas la cual es tratada fácilmente con antibióticos, puede ser aguda o crónica. En la crónica, el foco de infección puede reaparecer con frecuencia. También puede ser crónica no bacteriana, significa que no hay bacteria aparente que cause la inflamación, esta es la forma mas común de prostatitis, dura mucho tiempo, es dolorosa, sucede a cualquier edad, los síntomas aparecen y desaparecen sin causa. El enfoque medico tradicional es para tratar los síntomas: para el dolor, para relajar la próstata, etc. Pero la condición vuelve a aparecer. Con el enfoque de Medicina Funcional que realizamos en Med Wellness Clinic, atiendo a mis pacientes desde la persona no el síntoma, controlar la inflamación no depende de solo un medicamento, se trata de analizar el metabolismo de la persona, corregir las causas primarias de inflamación se logra modificando la alimentación ya que la inflamación de las mucosas urinarias esta directamente relacionada con la dieta. También desintoxicando el cuerpo y balanceando los nutrientes deficientes en el metabolismo a través de exámenes especializados que identifican las alteraciones metabólicas, logramos detener el círculo repetitivo de prostatitis, abriendo la posibilidad a los pacientes de vivir sin dolor y disfrutar una mejor sexualidad sin medicamentos o recetas milagrosas.

La osteoporosis cobra importancia en las mujeres después de la menopausia, alrededor de los 50 años de edad. Pero la realidad es que deberíamos cuidar de nuestros huesos desde los tempranos 20s, porque en esta edad la formación de tejido óseo se detiene y la destrucción de tejido óseo comienza a dominar, y con el paso del tiempo, aumenta el riesgo de sufrir fracturas y sus catastróficas consecuencias: gastos por cuido, incapacidad, inmovilización, consultas y hospitales, etc. La terapia médica para atender esta condición es muy limitada, y con resultados poco consistentes, adicional de los efectos secundarios de la terapia farmacológica como osteonecrosis de la mandíbula. Los siguientes pasos te ayudarán a reforzar la salud de tus huesos y prevenir el desarrollo de la osteoporosis:
OSAplex la composición de nutrientes de este suplemento crea huesos fuertes, flexibles y resistentes al riesgo de fracturas, en estudios clínicos se demostró el incremento en la densidad mineral del hueso y la formación del colágeno óseo después de un uso continúo de más de 6 meses. . OSAplex es un suplemento exclusivo de Med Wellness Clinic. |
