Living on Earth

Plastics and Male Reproduction — A new study in the Journal of Human Reproduction finds that a common chemical used to create flexibility in plastics can affect baby boys' development in the womb. Lead researcher Dr. Shanna Swan talks about the affect that phthalates have on the developing fetus and the threat they may pose to male reproductive health later in life.

GP comment:  Hormone disruption affects all of us who live in the toxic soup sold as better living through chemistry. But hormone disruption especially affects development—fetuses, infants, children. It's nearly impossible to rid your life of plastic, but the better you do on that score, the healthier your family will be.

Anit-Inflammatory Properties of Glycine — Because most of us don't cook bones and cartilage into soup as previous generations did, we're missing essential nutrients, glycine among them. Dr. Joel Brind talks explains why the amino acid glycine is essential to regulating your body's inflammation. He recommends glycine supplementation, and talks about a study that suggests this can also be helpful for those facing type II diabetes.

Coffee—A Surprisingly Healthy Brew — Herbalist and alternative health guru Susun Weed talks about the many benefits of coffee.

This clip features snippets from the film and interviews with filmmaker Holly Mosher, medical investigative journalist Jeanne Lenzer, and family doctor John Abramson. Topics include ... the deceptive tactics used by big drug companies; the art of using misleading advertising to lure consumers and using attractive drug reps to lure doctors; "trade-secret deaths"—the legal/regulatory trick box that has been created so some types of drug-related patient deaths go unreported; how medical research and knowledge has shifted from public good to private profit; how drug studies are designed to support product sales, not the best medical information.

Girls Hitting Puberty Earlier, But Why? — Many girls are beginning puberty at an early age, developing breasts and pubic hair sooner than girls of previous generations.

Quirks and Quarks

Malnutrition and the Microbiome — One of the tragedies of malnutrition in children is that the problems don't end when the hunger stops. A new study has shown that the microbial communities in the gut of children who experience malnutrition seem to be compromised over the long term and don't recover even after therapy and a return to a normal diet. Microbiologist Jeff Gordon led a team that found that the "microbiome" of these children seemed to be stuck in an immature state—not developing as it does under normal circumstances. This means that the children probably can't digest food properly, and leads to long term health issues, including stunted growth, a damaged immune system, and even neurological problems. Dr. Gordon hopes that understanding this problem better might lead to more effective therapies that take the gut microbiome into account.

Healy resists the temptation to make a blanket statement that SSRIs cause crazy, violent behavior. But he does say that the statistical correlation is sufficient to suggest that SSRIs cause SOME people to go nuts in the worst sort of way, and that patients and families should be warned whenever these medications are prescribed.

The Myth of Autism, ADD/ADHD, and Chronic Fatigue — 17 Apr 2013— Dr. Michael J. Goldberg is considered a "lone wolf" in the medical community for his findings on autism and similar maladies. Goldberg explains why the evidence says that autism cannot be genetic, psychological, or developmental, but rather must be a symptom of a treatable neurological disease, probably due to a viral or fungal infection. The infection causes a dysfunction in the neuro-immune system. Illnesses such as autism, ADD/ADHD, and chronic fatigue syndrome all have different "labels," but are actually variations on the same thing: neuro-immune dysfunction syndromes (NIDS).
