It turns out that some BPA substitutes, in this case BPS, are similar in how they harm the body.
...They then exposed them to different concentrations of BPS over a 14 day period. As a control other preadipocytes were exposed to dexamethasone as it has a known rate of fat cell formation. What was seen is that even the smallest amount of BPS increased the accumulation of lipids...
Person to person and cause and effect relationships can be similar.
...The cause and effect connection sometimes will come around showing us who we have affected, or how we have been changed, and other times it does neither...
Please check into this blog post from time to time to get updates on Dr. Larrow's maternity leave status.

A great infographic gives a decent representation of what to expect when you have a visit with a Naturopathic Doctor.
...As a Naturopathic Doctor, my focus is getting to the root cause of the disease while using the least invasive treatments possible to aid the body in restoring health. It is our job as the doctor to support the innate healing ability of the body, and then get out of the way as the body heals itself...

One of my favorite keyboard apps' developers has made an attempt at a "keyboard" app that is designed to help families communicate with their children who have developmental/communication disorders.
Mixing supplements and your prescribed pharmaceuticals is a recipe for disaster without consulting your primary care doctor first.
...estimated that 23,000 people end up in the emergency room each year suffering from heart palpitations, chest pain, choking or other problems after ingesting dietary supplements.” This seems like a large number of people, and it is certainly nothing to ignore or take lightly, however it only accounts for about 5% of the number of ER visits involving pharmaceuticals by comparison...
Wishing you all the best for 2016.
...I know in a few weeks my body is going to change yet again. The female breasts become milk making machines, the abdomen is forever altered, and the kicking/hiccups/movements will no longer be something that I feel from the inside...
Breastfeeding can give your baby higher levels of cortisol, but this is not necessarily a bad thing in any way.
...What this does make me stop and think about is the long term effect of the cortisol on the baby, and if any of the effects, if they do exist, are negative, or not. If they are negative then how do we get the mother to destress?..
