admin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:59:35 +0000

Medical Reports reports
WSVN — Everything that happens in your life can affect your health. That’s a basic principal of eastern medicine.
Dr. Aileen Gonzalez: “A death in the family for example or a divorce.”
And major events can make you sick.
Dr. Aileen Gonzalez: “It can be a headache. You can also have stomach ulcers.”
Doctor Aileen Gonzalez is the first to offer a popular European treatment here in South Florida called Psychosomatic Energetic or PSE.
Dr. Aileen Gonzalez: “It’s the mind, body and soul working together.”
The machine called Reba® is designed to detect problem areas in your aura, the energy field surrounding your body, and helps prevent or help cure certain illnesses.
Dr. Aileen Gonzalez: “I find out how much energy it robs from you, how it affects your mood, how aware you are of the conflict and when it occurred.”
Gigi didn’t want to take prescription medications, so she went to see Dr. Gonzalez for an alternative treatment.
Gigi Ganatra: “I was feeling very anxious and stressed and having trouble sleeping.”
Once doctor Gonzalez pinpoints the problem, she prescribes homeopathic remedies.
Dr. Aileen Gonzalez: “It’s 12 drops in the morning and 12 drops in the evening. They could either place it on the tongue, or they can place the drops in a cup of water.”
Sessions take about 45 minutes and each treatment takes two to three months to complete. The cost?
Dr. Aileen Gonzalez: “Can range anywhere from $250 to $300, and it includes all the remedies.”
Gigi says whatever it is, it works. and she’s looking forward to her next treatment.
Gigi Ganatra: “Just felt more relaxed, was able to sleep better at night. Now I’m ready for another testing to see what else we find.”
Diana Diaz: “The only side-effect some have is vivid dreams during the beginning of the treatment.”

“Michael Pollan – In Defense of Food” part 1 of 4

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:32:26 +0000

Food. There’s plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it?

Because most of what we’re consuming today is not food, and how we’re consuming it — in the car, in front of the TV, and increasingly alone — is not really eating. Instead of food, we’re consuming “edible foodlike substances” — no longer the products of nature but of food science. Many of them come packaged with health claims that should be our first clue they are anything but healthy. In the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become.

But if real food — the sort of food our great grandmothers would recognize as food — stands in need of defense, from whom does it need defending? From the food industry on one side and nutritional science on the other. Both stand to gain much from widespread confusion about what to eat, a question that for most of human history people have been able to answer without expert help. Yet the professionalization of eating has failed to make Americans healthier. Thirty years of official nutritional advice has only made us sicker and fatter while ruining countless numbers of meals.

Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. By urging us to once again eat food, he challenges the prevailing nutrient-by-nutrient approach — what he calls nutritionism — and proposes an alternative way of eating that is informed by the traditions and ecology of real, well-grown, unprocessed food. Our personal health, he argues, cannot be divorced from the health of the food chains of which we are part.

In Defense of Food shows us how, despite the daunting dietary landscape Americans confront in the modern supermarket, we can escape the Western diet and, by doing so, most of the chronic diseases that diet causes. We can relearn which foods are healthy, develop simple ways to moderate our appetites, and return eating to its proper context — out of the car and back to the table. Michael Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.

Pollan’s last book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, launched a national conversation about the American way of eating; now In Defense of Food shows us how to change it, one meal at a time.
