This brings about a rise of glycogen in the liver, which in turn transmits a message to the mind and reduces appetite. This is exactly how HCA shrinks the yearning for meals.
Yes, Dr. Oz referred to as Garcinia Cambogia Extract (HCA) the Holy Grail of Weight Loss. He went on to say, "Whenever I see a scientist have this enthusiastic about something like Garcinia Cambogia Extract so when I looked via some of this investigation and called these scientists myself, I get fired up.

Is Rep. Tom Rooney using McCarthy tactics on Muslim Brotherhood?
- 12:12 pm Friday, July 20th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta, is one of five House Republicans being criticized for making "specious and degrading attacks" against an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The aide is Huma Abedin, Secretary Clinton's deputy chief of staff.
Rep. Rooney participated in an effort led by Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., calling for an investigation into whether the Muslim Brotherhood is influencing federal agencies in ways that could undermine national security.
The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamist political party founded in Egypt, where its candidate recently was elected president.
Rep. Rooney signed a letter to the State Department that says it has "taken actions recently [More]
Trump right to question Obama's citizenship?
- 1:00 am Monday, April 25th, 2011 by Opinion Staff
Part time Palm Beacher Donald Trump seems to have embraced the "birther" issue even as it is flaming out.
Mr. Trumps claims to be considering a run for the presidency. Energizing tea party types is part of his self-promotion, and the birther issue is red meat for some of them. Mr. Trump, for example, has called on President Obama to "provide his birth certificate for forensic review….If there is nothing to hide, come clean."
Although there still are corners of the Internet generously populated with people who insist President Obama wasn't born in America – or can't prove he was – serious people working on strategies to defeat Mr. Obama in 2012 don't see the birther issue as a route to victory. The unsustainable deficit and ObamaCare are more their style.
In fact, many Republicans worry the birther crowd could prove to be a vote-sapping embarrassment. The president has produced ample proof that he was born in Hawaii and not Kenya, as many birthers believe.

Yesterday it was reported that the Memphis Grizzlies were interested in point guard Bobby Brown, who is currently scheduled to play in China. Brown has an out-clause in his Chinese contract that will allow him to return to the NBA prior to August 15th, but Brown may be nothing more than a backup plan to Beno Udrih, who the Memphis Grizzlies are reportedly interested in.
Per Ronald Tillery:
Hearing Griz expressing interest in Beno Udrih.Still considering Mo Williams. MEM wants 1yr deal but can exceed $1.4 vet min NYC is dangling
While the Grizzlies have both Mike Conley and Jerryd Bayless on the roster, it's possible Udrih could still see 20+ minutes a game in Memphis which would probably be similar to what the New York Knicks could offer.
Earlier today, Udrih's agent hinted that there were five teams expressing interest in the point guard, two of which obviously include both Memphis and New York.
Udrih split last season between the Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic.

Testosterone Quagmire
"Men are from Mars and women are from Venus"
—John Gray PhD
Women and men are very different. The concept seems fairly easy to grasp. Most get it. It seems obvious. Even the science supports it. However, this point seems to escape most in Medicine today.
The perfect example of this biochemical difference is found in Testosterone. The effects and risks of Testosterone in women stand in stark contrast to men. Low Testosterone is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk in men. Yet, elevated Testosterone is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk in women. A recent publication highlights the different Testosterone picture in women with obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (elevated Testosterone) and men with obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (low Testosterone).
Join Nan Sprouse as she discusses the quagmire of Testosterone in women in her latest video blog. No opinion here, just science.
the journey along the middle prong river trail to Health
It is hard!
Health is to hard. Many don't achieve it because it is to hard. These were the words of a recent conversation I had with a friend and client.
Is Health hard? Is Wellness really unobtainable? I may surprise you with my answer—for many the answer is unfortunately yes. The answer is not due to access to the ability to be Healthy and Well, but because they just don't want to be. They like being unhealthy. In fact, the name of the disease that they carry is their identity. You take away their disease, you take away their identity. These individuals simply don't want to make any changes necessary to achieve Health and Wellness.
But is Health that hard? The answer is no.
What is a Heart Healthy Diet?
What is a Heart Healthy Diet?
As I mentioned last month, I want to devote this blog to a healthy diet with an emphasis on heart health and disease prevention. My hope is that I will encourage you to be your own best health advocate on what you should eat. One word I want you to consider while reading this article is indoctrination. As I research and study the many recommendations… low carb, paleo, low fat, vegan, Mediterranean and Myplate.gov. etc., I recognize that we have to be careful to sort out any bias and indoctrination of any possible profit motive information that would distort accurate research and information to benefit our health. Keep in mind that there is not one perfect diet. Many diets claim to be the one best way to eat. A one-size-fits-all approach never works—nutrition is no different. We must realize that we are in different stages of life and some of us are very healthy while others are struggling with compromised health. From last month's blog, I pointed out that the American Dietary Guidelines indoctrinated us into believing that an unhealthy low fat, high carb (also refined) diet was healthy even heart healthy. Instead of improving health, statistics point to a declining health in Americans. This can be found in the rising rates of heart disease, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes and other chronic disease states. Let us take a closer look at the heart disease statistics.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
About 600,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year- that's 1 in every 4 deaths.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women.
Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, killing more than 385,000 people annually.
Every year about 715,000 Americans have a heart attack. Of these, 525,000 are a first-time heart attack and 190,000 occur in people who have already had a heart attack.
Coronary heart disease alone costs the United States $108.9 billion each year. This total includes the cost of health care services, medications, and lost productivity. Not to mention life, which you cannot put a price tag on.
Unfortunately, we are again indoctrinated into thinking that it is normal in our country for many to develop atherosclerosis and to die from cardiovascular disease—"fete de compli". Once cardiovascular disease is diagnosed, the only options for treatment are: medications, surgery and you guessed it, a low-fat, higher carb diet. This belief will become reality if we consume the standard American diet (SAD) that most people eat today. The SAD diet is typically high in sugar, processed foods, unhealthy fats and the usual frequent dining out. But a significant number of research studies (published in Lancet, JAMA, American Journal of Cardiology, and Journal of Family Practice) have documented that heart disease is almost completely preventable and possibly reversible through a diet rich in plant produce and lower in processed foods and animal products. Think of that. A diet that prevents cardiovascular disease and a diet that heals. Such a novel concept–nutrition to heal.
The surgical interventions commonly used to treat heart disease, such as angioplasty and bypass surgery have not shown to be very successful. The COURAGE trial and other studies conducted more recently, have documented that patients undergoing these invasive procedures do not live longer nor do they have fewer heart attacks compared to those receiving medical therapy with modest lifestyle changes. Surgical interventions are not long-term solutions to heart disease; they only focus on a small portion of a blood vessel, while cardiovascular disease continues to progress throughout the body's entire cardiovascular system.
Unfortunately, drugs that treat hypertension and elevated cholesterol also carry many risks that need to be considered. These medications do not stop heart disease from progressing. Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are known to increase the risk of diabetes, cataracts, liver dysfunction, kidney injury, and impair muscle function. Each different class of blood pressure-lowering medications have side effects as well. ACE inhibitors usually can cause a persistent cough; diuretics are linked to a higher risk of diabetes; beta blockers are associated with increased likelihood of stroke; calcium channel blockers may increase your risk of heart disease and breast cancer; and finally Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBS) are associated with a higher risk of lung cancer. And don't forget all the drug induced nutrient depletions and drug to drug interactions.
Sound scientific research shows that modest lifestyle changes emphasizing whole foods high in plant produce and minimizing processed foods and animal products reduces cardiovascular disease. What are we waiting for? A heart attack?
No poly-pharmacy. No pill-popping. No cutting required. Just modest lifestyle changes are required. If you do make a decision to make modest lifestyle changes, including a change in diet and you are on medications, please do not make any changes to your heart medications without first talking to your physician.
There is variability in what is the best eating plan for each individual. Your Seasons team takes this very seriously. At Seasons, we create customized wellness plans founded in nutrition and science. Our goal is the best lifestyle changes to bring about the best health outcomes for our clients.
In general, focus on daily:
Goal of one pound of raw vegetables such as broccoli, variety of lettuces, kale, Bok Choy, Swiss Chard, cabbage, green, yellow, red, orange peppers, carrots, onion, celery, sprouts, cucumber, radish, tomatoes, spinach, etc.
Goal of one pound of cooked vegetables such as squash, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans, eggplant, kale, onions, peppers, spinach, Brussels sprouts, etc.
2-3 servings of starchy vegetables/grains such as winter squash, corn, sweet potatoes, quinoa, brown rice, non-Asian. (Avoid GMO wheat)
1-2 cups of cooked legumes/peas.
3-4 servings of organic, preferred whole fruits such as apple, pears, berries, oranges, grapefruit, banana, pineapple, mango, kiwi, etc.
1-2 servings of nuts/seeds such as walnuts, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, etc. raw or unsalted lightly roasted without fats added.
Modest amounts of fats such as unrefined organic coconut/oil, avocado/oil and organic olive oil. Avoid processed fats.
If non-vegan then focus on organic, wild-caught, non-Asian, non-GMO and free range animal proteins such as wild salmon, Icelandic cod, organic turkey/chicken. Keep red meats and eggs to a minimum and if consumed, keep it too organic and grass-fed. Limit animal proteins to one serving per day, preferably only 3-4 servings per week.
If non-vegan for dairy- minimal and organic/grass fed such as butter; low-fat yogurt and kefir, plain or sweetened with fruit. 3-4 servings per week.

Eat to Live–Fruits and Vegetables
As we have visited the Farmer's Market or vegetable stand, we are reminded how colorful and fresh the produce has been during the summer season. However, even with the wonderful variety we have had, I find that few appreciate and understand how vital this food group is to our health. Unfortunately, even the USDA food plate recommendations fall short in providing a truly nutrient dense diet that can potentially prevent many of the chronic disease states we are battling in the United States. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), as a nation, 75% of health care dollars goes to treatment of chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and cancer. Some of these persistent conditions could have been prevented including lifelong disability, compromised quality of life which then strains our burgeoning health care.
Unfortunately, the medical system is usually set up for patient's visits to be in a forced quick paced conveyor belt method due to insurance constraints and the pressure to bring in as many patients as possible to offset costs and produce profits. This lends to little interaction with the patient's concerns and no time for a much needed diet intake review. I am, though, grateful for these doctors because there is a place for their intervention. However, they are caught up in a system that is set up to not provide personal assessments and true preventative help. Here at Seasons, however, there is more care for the patients, with time and personal health evaluations given, thereby providing a more comprehensive plan that includes a nutrient dense diet that emphasizes fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables are an essential and integral part of your diet. There is no other food group that can provide what these super foods can. They provide antioxidants and phytochemicals that maximize preventative protection against the chronic disease states that we are struggling with. In fact, fruits and vegetables are the two foods with the best correlation with longer life in humans. Not whole wheat bread or bran, nor even a typical vegetarian diet shows as powerful a correlation as a high level of fresh fruit and raw green salad consumption. The National Cancer Institute has reported on at least 337 different studies that showed this information to be validated. ( Nelson, NJ. Is chemoprevention research overrated or underfunded? Primary Care and Cancer 168:29-30)
What are the best nutrient dense fruit and vegetables (though not all inclusive) that provide these protective compounds that do phenomenal changes in your health and immune system?
- Dark green leafy vegetables ( highest) – kale, spinach, Swiss chard, mustard, collard, turnip greens, arugula, watercress.
- Other green vegetables – romaine, red/green leaf lettuce, green peas, green beans, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, bok choy, snow peas, celery, green peppers.
- Non-green nutrient-rich vegetables- beets, eggplant, mushrooms, onions, radishes, bean sprouts, red, orange and yellow bell peppers, raw carrots, tomatoes, artichokes, radicchio, cauliflower, garlic.
- Fruits – berries, apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, kiwi, melons, etc.
These foods should be added to your diet at each meal, and eating a variety of these essential foods will definitely improve your health decreasing your risk of chronic health conditions. You want to eat at least 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Always include green salads with a variety of greens–optimally lunch and dinner. Organic, non-GMO, raw as well as lightly steamed or sautéed in a small amount of a healthy fat (olive or coconut oil) are your best ways in eating your fruits and vegetables!
Here is a fresh fruit and veggie salad to enjoy!
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, organic
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, organic
- 1-2 tablespoons of filtered water
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1/4 teaspoon whole mineral salt
- 2-3 cups torn fresh spinach, organic
- 1/3 cup chopped apple, organic
- 1/2 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons raisins, organic
- 2 dried apricots, organic, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, water, honey and salt; shake well. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Yield: 1 serving. Note: all organic is preferred and you can add your favorite herbs and spices in the salad dressing as well.
5 Skin Perfecting Fruits + Acne Fighting Tips
Will eating healthier make it easier to achieve superior skin health? If you've had a nutritional consultation at Seasons, then you already know the answer. Yes! The food you put into your body has a direct effect on how you feel and look.
Being diligent about applying SPF and regularly visiting your skin care specialist for rejuvenation treatments are two great ways to keep your appearance in tip-top shape, but consuming the right foods is also important to the health of your skin. After all, you are what you eat!
The following fruits are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients that can help you live longer, look better, and even prevent disease. Here are our picks to keep your skin looking beautiful, healthy, and hydrated this summer!
- Cantaloupe. Consider cantaloupe your secret weapon for smooth, younger-looking skin. You can thank the Vitamin A and its derivatives for boosting cell reproduction. Cantaloupe also increases antioxidants in your body which increases your ability to absorb free radicals and decreases your risk of skin problems.
- Oranges. Like Cantaloupes, oranges are chock-full of antioxidants. Oranges and other citrus fruits are said to be among the best foods for your skin's health because they are rich in Vitamin C. Vitamin C can help protect your skin against sun damage which reduces your risk of skin cancer.
- Peaches. Not only are peaches great for reviving your skin, but they have benefits that include aiding weight loss, preventing heart disease and high blood pressure, and they contain an abundance of antioxidants.
- Blueberries. Ranked number one in antioxidant activity by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, blueberries can protect your skin from premature signs of aging.
- Apples. An apple a day may keep more than just the doctor away. Apples are rich in pectin – the starch essential in driving away acne! And don't throw the skin in the trash! Apple skin contains phenols which provide important UV-B protection.
Fighting acne? Food choices are a huge factor contributing to this dreaded skin problem. Like the rest of your body, what you eat directly and indirectly affects your acne. This is one factor that we can easily control by being mindful of what goes into our bodies. So, here are five things to remember:
- Take your vitamins. Whole food multi-vitamins taken daily are a good choice to fight acne. Acidophilus B and garlic are also great acne fighters.
- An apple a day. Eat red or golden delicious apples daily.
- Drink water, water, water.
- Clear is better. You shouldn't drink sodas for a whole slew of other reasons; but if you must drink a soda, remember that clear is better. The ingredients that make sodas dark can make acne worse.
- Go natural with your sweets. Too much refined sugar can aggravate acne. This means stay away from candy, sodas, cakes and pies! Try to use natural sweeteners, like honey or stevia!
Something "Fishy" Is Going On: GMO Salmon, Mislabeling of Fish, and a Healthy Trout Recipe!
Dining Out & GMOs: The Real Price We Pay
It's a fact: Americans love eating out. We blog, Tweet, and post about it. It's very gratifying to share a meal with friends or family while taking a break from cooking at home. Even while on a diet, you may give yourself a pass to "treat yourself" or overindulge while dining at your favorite restaurant. But have you ever thought about what you are eating and where the restaurant purchased their food? Well, it is quite eye-opening!
Dining out will make you fat and very unhealthy! Unless you are dining at a health food type restaurant (which are few in number), the average restaurant meal is usually between 1,000-1,500 calories. Studies show that we eat about 40 percent more when we are in groups as opposed to eating alone. However, the main reason we eat more is due to the portion size at restaurants, usually much larger than we would consume at home.
The goal of most restaurants is to make a profit, not to provide healthy foods that will reduce your risk for heart disease, obesity, and cancer. Because they want you to come back, most restaurants will provide foods that simply taste good but are high in fat in forms of processed oils, trans fat, butter and lard. Even the healthier options can still be loaded with calories. And don't forget the high amounts of sugar including high fructose corn syrup, a cheap form of sweetener.
Since profit is the main goal, most restaurants are not serving high quality food. Unless they advertise themselves as providing truly healthier options like grass-fed/organic meats, USA or Canadian wild-caught fish or organic grains, fruits and vegetables, they are likely serving you genetically modified foods (GMOs). Since 60-75 percent of grocery foods are genetically modified, the likelihood is pretty great that these cheaper sources of food will be found in restaurants.
In addition to harmful GMOs, you may also end up eating industrially bred and raised food loaded with hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. There are alarming and unhealthy practices that go on at a CAFO facilities (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation). The problem begins at the massive CAFOs where cows, chickens, and pigs are fed genetically modified corn, soybeans, and excessive grains in general (not their natural diet, i.e. grass), along with many other unbelievable feed ingredients such as:
- Plastics: this is used for many animals whose digestive systems need more roughage to pass through them, thus CAFOs are now feeding them plastic pellets.
- Manure and animal feces: this can include cattle manure, swine and poultry waste. It also can include wood, sand, sawdust and other non-food substances.
- Roxarsone: more commonly named arsenic, which until recently was put into chicken and pig feed to control parasites, though Nitarsone (another arsenic-based poultry drug) is still approved. Chicken litter (containing the arsenic that passes through the birds) is also collected from chicken CAFOs and is fed surprisingly to feedlot cattle.
- Animal byproducts: categorized as "animal protein products," this includes hair, skin, hooves, blood, internal organs, intestines, beaks and bones, dead horses, euthanized cats and dogs, and road kill.
Fast foods do not fare any better, and are usually chemically laden for shelf life and profit. Two examples of synthetic chemicals in popular fast food chicken nuggets are:
- Dimethyl polysiloxane: a type of silicone with anti-foaming properties used in cosmetics and variety of other goods like Silly Putty
- Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ): a petroleum-based product that has antioixidant properties.
Due to all of the processing (added sugars and other ingredients), studies have shown that eating fast food just twice a week, can cause you to gain excess weight, but even more alarming is that it doubles your risk of developing insulin resistance, the driving force behind many chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Try these strategies for making healthier decisions while dining out.
- Reserve dining out for special occasions, not a bi-weekly habit.
- Seek out healthier-minded restaurants using seasonal, sustainable, non-GMO, organic, free range, or wild-caught ingredients and dedicated to preparing meals with healthy fats in mind.
- Ask questions about where they buy their foods.
- Avoid fast food as much as possible unless they advertise a truly healthier option as mentioned earlier.
Ready to regain control over the food that you put into your body? Here is a recipe for a delicious, Chinese-inspired appetizer or meal that will surely impress your friends and family! Enjoy!
Asian Lettuce Cups

- 1/8 tsp. ground ginger (can use fresh equivalent if desired)
- 2/3 cup thinly sliced organic green onions (about 4)
- 1 (8 oz) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and coarsely chopped
- 12 Boston lettuce leaves (or organic iceberg)
- 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce (recipe below)
- 2 Tbsp lower-sodium organic gluten free soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp organic rice vinegar
- 2 tsp. roasted red chili paste, organic if possible
- 1/8 tsp. whole mineral salt
- 1/8 tsp. ground organic black pepper
Homemade Hoisin Sauce
- 4 Tbsp. lower-sodium organic gluten free soy sauce
- 2 tsp. organic white vinegar (or lemon/lime juice)
- 1 tsp. organic sesame seed oil
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted organic unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp. organic/raw honey, molasses or brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/8 – 1/4 tsp. hot sauce/chili sauce (this will vary depending on your preference)
Mix together until blended. (Note: may need to slightly heat the sauce to disperse the peanut butter more uniformly)
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for about 6 minutes or until turkey is browned. Stir to crumble. Combine turkey mixture, onions and chopped water chestnuts in a large bowl, stirring well, and set aside.
Meanwhile in a small bowl, whisk together hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar and roasted red chili paste, salt, pepper and drizzle over the turkey mixture. Toss to coat completely. Add about 1/4 cup turkey mixture to each lettuce leaf, serve, and enjoy!
Pulling Back The Curtains On Dr. Oz: The Truth About IV Nutrition Therapy
Recently on his daily television show, Dr. Oz discussed IV nutrition therapy. I was very disappointed when Dr. Oz questioned the validity, benefit, and safety of this invaluable therapy. He had a guest physician on his show to defend IV therapies, but his guest talked in generalizations with no specifics and no scientific data. Dr. Oz's conclusion at the end of the show, and I will paraphrase, was: "I guess if the Hollywood celebrity types are doing it, there must be some benefit."
Wow! Now that's scientific (insert sarcasm). We live in day where we have instant access to data and scientific research, and that is his closing statement?
As physicians, we often forget that we are scientists. Our testing and therapies should be based on science, not opinion. Yet, neither Dr. Oz nor his guest presented any scientific data to support their statements in favor or opposition. So, allow me to do the job that Dr. Oz and his guest did not.
Intravenous nutritional therapy has been around since IV vitamin C was first used for treatment of polio in 1949. Is it something everyone needs? Of course not. Should everyone take insulin? You get my point.
At Seasons, we evaluate a client's needs based on symptoms. The symptoms lead us to extensive metabolic testing to determine the specific presence and severity of deficiencies of amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, etc. Only then do we recommend IV nutritional therapies using the metabolic test results combined with the client's symptoms. That is what medicine is all about – using the art and science of medicine for the patient's benefit.
Another reason to use IV nutritional therapy is that for most Americans, our guts are a wreck (and that is putting it mildly). Absorption problems are a major concern for Americans. If you can't absorb a vitamin or nutrient, it doesn't matter how good the source or the dosage of therapy is, it just won't be absorbed. If you are dealing with severe deficiencies, then you'll never catch up.
How about an analogy to paint a clearer picture? A patient seeks help from a physician for severe dehydration. The patient just can't keep anything down. Is the physician going to give the patient a pat on the back, tell them to just drink more water, and send them on their way? Of course not. The physician knows that the patient cannot tolerate oral therapy at that point. The deficiency is severe. The physician knows that he/she must catch the patient up, and then instruct the client to drink more water. And how does the physician "catch" the patient up? Well, IVs of course.
Does Dr. Oz question the safety, validity, and benefits of this therapy? Of course not. That is because it is standard practice. Standard practice is defined as: whatever everyone else is doing. I remember my mom often asking me, So…if everyone else jumps of a cliff, are you going to do that too?
And the testing to determine dehydration? Very limited. Usually, a urinalysis, complete blood count test (CBC), maybe a general chemistry, and of course a physical exam. From experience and training, I can tell you that the IV fluids are started based on the physical exam, before the test results get back. That is not how we approach IV nutritional therapy at Seasons. Dr Oz gave the impression that people just walk into a Doctor's office to order IVs as one would a hamburger at a fast food drive-through. We customize therapy to specific needs and match it with their specific metabolic demand.
So, what does the science say about IV nutritional therapy? The science is overwhelmingly in favor of IV nutritional therapy.
The research below looks at surgical patients. It is well known that poor nutritional status of the patient undergoing surgery effects outcome. These studies showed that IV nutritional therapy improved outcomes. This is not total peripheral nutrition (TPN). TPN is therapy to replace all nutrition. Intravenous nutritional therapy is just to replace vitamins, minerals, and maybe some targeted macronutrients.

Just because Dr. Oz (the great and powerful, Dr. Oz) says it is so doesn't make it so. I hope I've helped pull back the curtain and expose the real science supporting IV nutritional therapy.
An Apple a Day? Healthy Choices vs. Inflammation
My pre-60th birthday journey to improve my previous test results from Seasons of Farragut continues! This month I decided to focus on the first tenet in our Seasons wellness regimen – nutrition!
About two years ago I took the ALCAT test and was astonished at my lengthy list of reactive foods! The ALCAT is a fascinating food sensitivity test in which white blood cells are introduced to a variety of foods, chemicals, and herbs. The severity of the reaction determines if a substance is mild, moderate, severe, or normal within my body. Since knowledge is power, I decided to receive the news that gluten and dairy were on my "severe list" as a positive indicator rather than "buyers' remorse" for having performed the test!

SÃO PAULO Brazilian ferrous scrap exports more than doubled year on year in November amid higher demand from Asian countries, especially India and Indonesia.
Shipments totaled 52,069 tonnes last month, up from 22,836 tonnes in the same month last year, according to figures from Brazilian foreign trade secretariat Secex.
India, the largest buyer of Brazilian scrap, purchased 23,143 tonnes in November, more than triple the 7,070 tonnes it took in the same month a year earlier.
Exports to Indonesia increased to 12,212 tonnes from zero in November 2011.

Link: Is Print the New Counterculture?
Granted, digital media are now so integral to the way the world functions that even the most contrarian hipster will never shun them entirely. And some digital juggernauts—Apple, for example—retain a certain chic, even a rebel aura, among younger consumers. But popular sentiment toward Silicon Valley is shifting. You can see it in the portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network or in the latest scathing Gawker piece about Google. You can feel it in the swift backlash against Steve Jobs hagiography in the wake of his death. The Web elite are now our power elite, less beloved than envied and distrusted. More importantly, the Web is becoming the limelight and other media the shadows. These days, if you want to bow out of the mainstream, you go offline, not on. For activist rebels, that shift could make print tactically advantageous. Digital media have become the overwhelming focus of state and corporate surveillance; witness, for example, the reported police monitoring of Occupy Chicago protestors' cellphones. An underground print publication in today's climate would arguably be more underground than ever. (That is, like an equivalent website in the '90s, it wouldn't be invisible but it might go unnoticed.)

"You want to make sure with a race in which you'll be flying home with other drivers that you don't crash into them. It's happened before, and it can make for a little bit of a tense situation."
Charter Operator Donates to Help Animals
San-Diego charter firm Schubach Aviation ended its yearlong "One Cent Per Mile" fundraising campaign for orphaned animals by donating $10,160 to Helen Woodward Animal Center, which is also located in San Diego. Schubach began the campaign in January of last year, promising to donate one cent for every mile flown by its 15 aircraft through the end of 2011. The company also gave its customers the opportunity to make a small donation of their own, based on their trip miles.
"We're very pleased to have supported Helen Woodward Animal Center this past year," said president Henry Schubach, whose own golden retriever and rescued Labrador-mix are permanent fixtures at the firm's Palomar Airport headquarters. "We're big dog people here, as are many of our customers, who use our private aviation services sometimes mainly so they can safely and comfortably bring their own dogs with them on their flights."

Towards the cliff. We follow the sounds
Never hearing a word...a note
To the makings of the song

We sing in our muteness songs we neither see nor hear
We walk crippled towards the faceless words
Drinking without taste the nectar that must never be swallowed.
"Sweet" We say when we cannot taste
But finish it's juices in a single gulp
Not quenching the thirst we know not that we have
Belching the stench of its odor that we cannot smell
In knowledge we know nothing of what we have seen
While walking in blindness with our eyes wide shut
We listen with deafness to the drones of time
Never singling out a line.
We feel in the darkness for the light switch that we have always had
In the contours of our minds
We look around seeing nothing in a room full of everything.
Blank spaces on the walls of pictures vibrant in truth
Still we with only see them with our eyes wide shut.
Beside the Yellow Brick Road
In the forest
Lies the deeper path of truth.

Nancy Best Cake Design
Lafayette, CO
We absolutely loved our cake from Nancy. She is a ball of energy, and excited for anything that is thrown at her! She really worked within our budget and made our cake a dream come true! The cake was absolutely delicious, and everyone at our reception LOVED it. I didn't hear one bad thing about it. Nancy was always quick to respond to any phone call we made. We loved working with Nancy.

Nancy Best cake design is Amazing! Not only are her cakes delicious, but also Nancy delivers a piece of art. I had my wedding in February 2013 and the cake Nancy made for us was so beautiful and elegant. It was amazing, carefully detailed and personalized to fit both our wedding theme and personalities. Nancy was wonderful in working with our budget yet creating something as if our budget was unlimited. She was a true pleasure to work with, and yes, we definitely recommend Nancy Best to anyone!

One of our favorite experiences from our daughter's and son-in-law's recent wedding was the wedding cakes from Nancy Best. They were absolutely gorgeous and delicious.
We hosted two 2 large receptions with different themes and we needed two very large, but different wedding cakes, along with several groom's cakes. Nancy worked with the bride and groom to tie the cakes perfectly into their two themes. Each one was a beautiful masterpiece and absolutely delicious. She gave us several choices of cake flavors and icing t select from. Each one was better than the last.
Many of our guests asked for Nancy's contact information and have had her design and create cakes for their upcoming events. Everyone I know who has worked with Nancy can't thank her enough!
Nancy is absolutely delightful to work with and made our "wedding cake experience" very special. She is truly a customer service expert. This great experience is already becoming one of our family's favorite wedding memories.
I have ordered a large cake from her since the wedding to celebrate our son's Eagle Scout Board of Review and was equally impressed.
We are so delighted Nancy Best was part of our family's wedding experience.

Our cake was amazing. It was beautiful, exactly what we had envisioned, and tasted absolutely fabulous. Nancy has a wide variety of cake types as well as different fillings. She really is gourmet. She did a wonderful job of accommodating all of our wishes, even two groom's cakes! They were all incredibly delicious. Nancy does seem a little overwhelmed at times and not always the best at returning phone calls promptly, but it was worth it for the incredible product that she produces. She is also a very sweet woman and a delight to work with.

The cake was probably the one item on my list I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Nancy had a beautiful portfolio with pictures to choose from as well as sample cakes to try. I think the biggest thing for me was the value on her cakes for the quality. She is incredible with her designs and the cakes are delicious, but she is very affordable. At the time of the wedding I can't say I really remember the cake, but many of our guests commented on how good it was and looking back over our pictures it turned out absolutely gorgeous!! I would highly recommend Nancy and her team.

We originally had a tasting with Nancy just to try her cake, filling and icing options. Her cake was delicious but we wanted to try others as well. After tastings at six other vendors I was obsessed with the idea of caramel filling, but we hadn't found someone who had that option AND we liked their cake. I called Nancy and asked her if that was something she could do. She replied that not only was that something she could do, she asked if we wanted caramel flavored icing or just caramel. I responded and she said that she would make us a sample to include both white wine cake and her black chocolate cake with both salted and unsalted caramel. We loved it and decided to get our fancy cake out of the white wine with caramel and get a sheet cake and a half of the black chocolate. The cake was beautiful (and Nancy was inventive since some where along the way no one ended up dropping off the ribbon that was supposed to go around the tiers of the cake), Nancy did a wonderful job with the flowers that were left over to make the cake beautiful and everyone at the wedding had nothing but praise for how amazing delicious and moist the cakes were. The only down side is that we're going to have to get another cake from Nancy because everyone loved it so much there was no chocolate cake left despite the fact that we had cake for more guests than we had!
Nancy's prices are fantastic, out of everyone we tasted with her prices were the best and she gave us EXACTLY what we wanted and asked for. Her cake was amazing and she was always courteous and professional.

We had the most beautiful cake! We did a snowflake motif and Nancy hand made tons of snowflakes to go on our cake including this gorgeous 3-D snowflake topper. Plus the cake inside was delicious and we got so many compliments on it. She brought us so many types of cakes and fillings to try then brought us even more when we were starting to decide what combinations we wanted. Plus she constantly throws in extra things here and there. For instance a whole big extra cake that we used at the post rehearsal dinner get together for out of town guests because my husband is in the military. She can be a little scatter-brained but it is just because she is working so incredibly hard all the time. Everything was perfect and my cake was more amazing then I could have ever imagined. Plus the price was so reasonable. We went with shorter layers and had cake for 150 for just over $400. She just charges per person not by what you want on the outside so we did not get charged extra for all the snowflakes she made for the outside. I wish I could attach a photo because our cake was so amazing. Use Nancy Best!

HI Nancy!!
Me and Joe really thought you were an exceptionally nice person. For our first meeting we were drilling you about your services because we wanted to ensure we got the right person. You were so professional and kind. When we did the sampling I could not believe what you did for us! You provided 3 different types of fondant to try. 3 frosting flavors, and several different cakes to try. We were floored at how much cake you gave us. We had a hard time deciding on a flavor because they were all good. We wanted a cake that was affordable, yummy and very beautiful. Your carrot cake and lemon cake was super moist and very good. Thanks for doing all the different combinations for our wedding cake. Our guests stated, "wow, that cake was good." I loved the look of our cake, and the quality. You truly are a remarkable person and I will miss talking with you. You have a heart for this business and I can see that you love what you do. Thanks again for providing us with a great cake. In the future, you will be hearing from me so you can make me another yummy cake!!
I wished they had a way to upload pictures so people can see what you did for my wedding. it was such an elegant cake.

I worked in a bakery for many years, making me kind of a pastry snob. I wanted a great tasting cake. Future-wife put me in charge of finding the baker. I found Nancy. Nancy was absolutely awesome! Our cake was delicious, looked great, and complimented my face rather well if I might say so myself. (Thanks wifey.) Anyway, as I guy I loved the food tastings - especially all the cake shops. Hands down Nancy blew her competition out of the water, her cake is moist and flavorful. This pastry snob wants his cakes made by Nancy Best. Thanks Nancy!

Nancy Best, is absolutly hands down the best cake I've ever head. She has so many cake flavers, fillings and frosting options. It's almost overwhelming, but very delicous and fun process. She's super open and willing to do whatever your heart desires. She drove down to Loveland to meet with us (we live in Fort Collins). Each time was a wonderful expereince. She brought her cake samples book along for the initial meeting. She also has lots of pics on her website. I basically drew up the design idea I had at home and met with her another time to confirm the details. She provided us with many samples to taste two different times. The first tasting she has a bunch of cake flavors and filling that we were allowed to take home and try when we were ready. We loved them ALL which made it though to narrow down our fav's. The 2nd tasting she made a mini cake that reflected the design of the big cake. So very cool to see your different options and get a little preview! One of the best things about her cakes is that with each cake tier you can have up to 3 different cake flavors and two different fillings. So when they cut the cake, you get to try all of those great flavors! I just have to share with you our incredible combo's we ended up with. Guests LOVE to have this kind of variety. My husband and I didnt even make it two weeks with our anniversary cake being frozen. We already eat it because it's too good to waste. We're ordering another cake for our anniversary :)

1. Black Chocolate Cake

The deepest economic crisis in eighty years prompted a shallow revival of Marxism. During the panicky period between the failure of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and the official end of the American recession in the summer of 2009, several mainstream journals, displaying a less than sincere mixture of broadmindedness and chagrin, hailed Marx as a neglected seer of capitalist crisis. The trend-spotting Foreign Policy led the way, with a cover story on Marx, for its Next Big Thing issue, enticing readers with a promise of the star treatment: "Lights. Camera. Action. Das Kapital. Now."

- JC Shurburtt of 247Sports gives you a rundown of the top five running backs in the Big Ten entering the 2014 season along with a few additional names to consider. As you might have guessed, no Terrapins appear on the list, but Maryland has a few very talented backs in their own right. Junior Brandon Ross will share the workload with reinstated tailback Wes Brown. The return of Brown definitely helps the Terps in a big way since Brown was the starter before suffering a season-ending injury midway through the 2012 season. Shurburtt has Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon at the top and indicates that Gordon could win the Heisman Trophy if healthy. The Badgers also have New Jersey native Corey Clement and DeMatha product Taiwan Deal. Clement is a guy that definitely has the potential to be a star as does Deal. Deal may not see the field quite as much given the depth at the position.
- I had a chance to catch up with Anthony Wayne (OH) center Mason Zimmerman after he committed to Maryland. Zimmerman spoke about it being the right fit and how he fits in with the Maryland program. Be sure to check it out!
- With Maryland officially in the Big Ten, our own Ahmed Ghafir brings you a piece on why Terp fans should be excited about the move.
- The Maryland football team added another player to the defensive line in wrestler Spencer Myers. Myers won ACC heavyweight titles in 2011 and 2012 and has earned 62 wins while on the Maryland wrestling team. Anybody that throws people around can't be a bad asset for the Terps to have. It'll be an interesting story to follow.

The President has declared war without an Act of Congress. I don't mean an armed conflict or putting soldiers in harm's way. I refer to the President's Department of Health and Human Services' war on religious civil liberties. The President's actions on this front have directly placed in harm's way scores of religious institutions and charities, not to mention the people these ministries serve.
Thankfully, members of Congress are moving forward in an attempt to bring this war to a positive resolution and a victory for religious civil liberties.
Not long after Kathleen Sebelius announced that nonprofit employers who object to abortifacient drugs, sterilization, and contraception on religious grounds would be given an additional year before they have to violate their conscience or close their doors, Senator Marco Rubio introduced the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012."
The bill provides that no individual or entity would be forced under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA") "to offer, provide, or purchase coverage for a contraceptive or sterilization service, or related education or counseling, to which that individual or entity is opposed on the basis of religious belief."
As Senator Rubio correctly stated:
The Obama Administration's obsession with forcing mandates on the American people has now reached a new low by violating the conscience rights and religious liberties of our people . . . Under this President, we have a government that has grown too big, too costly and now even more overbearing by forcing religious entities to abandon their beliefs. This is a common sense bill that simply says the government can't force religious organizations to abandon the fundamental tenets of their faith because the government says so.
Senator Rubio's bill, which enjoys the support of a number of U.S. Senators, is a major step forward in ensuring that the long cherished rights of religious freedom and conscience would be protected under federal law.
Another bill, currently pending in the House of Representatives, and introduced by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska, is titled the "Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011." With this bill, nothing under PPACA "shall be construed to require an individual or institutional health care provider, or authorize a health plan to require a provider, to provide, participate in, or refer for a specific item or service contrary to the provider's religious beliefs or moral convictions."
Though this bill was introduced last year, before Sebelius' January 20 announcement, it would help to ensure that the religious institutions now under assault by HHS will receive the legal protections they deserve. As Rep. Fortenberry wrote after the recent HHS announcement:
Under this rule, within the year, religiously-affiliated medical providers would have to fire and refuse to treat persons of other faiths in order to uphold their own deeply-held beliefs -- or be forced, by order of Secretary Sebelius, to close their doors rather than violate tenets of their religion. This is forced discrimination. This is wrong. No American should be forced to choose between their faith and their job.
Those religious charities that have come under attack by the current administration serve numerous needs of thousands citizens across the nation. These institutions should be applauded and commended by the government for the charitable and civic work they do, not punished or coerced by it.
One step in fighting the President's new war on religious civil liberties is federal legislation that will allow for broad and robust conscience protection. The right to freedom of conscience is not a liberty to be surrendered or compromised. The Declaration of Independence speaks to it; the Constitution requires it; Congress should guard it.
Just ahead of the midterm elections, the Supreme Court has stopped President Obama's latest attempt to block commonsense measures to ensure voter integrity. This past weekend the Supreme Court weighed in on Texas's voter ID law refusing to block its implementation before Election Day. The Wall...
