Kids, Health, and Vitamin D
Thursday, August 13th, 2009
If there were any easy way for tens of millions of people to reduce their risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, osteoporosis and many other chronic diseases, shouldn’t that be in the headlines?
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine discovered exactly that. In a large survey of the vitamin D status of children aged 1 to 21, they found that 7 out of 10 were deficient.
Did you know that if women maintain optimal vitamin D levels, their risk of breast cancer is cut in half? Did you know that maintaining optimal vitamin D levels also cuts the risk of colon cancer in half? In fact, getting this one single nutrient up to optimal levels would save untold lives and tens of billions of dollars annually in health care costs.
At Nature Cures Clinic we take this seriously. It’s why we test vitamin D levels on virtually every patient we see, and we make sure people get enough to get these protective effects. (more…)

Naturopathic Views on Medical Testing
Thursday, May 4th, 2006
Listen to Medical Testing Podcast
In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh discuss their take on medical testing and what tests they think should be done regularly to screen patients for potential problems going on in their body. They discuss the differences between what the conventional world deems an acceptable range for test levels versus the naturopathic world, which has significant implications for how the patient should be treated. In their view, testing is vital because it may catch some trends in the body that are happening, and in which the physical symptoms might not otherwise present until the underlying issue turns into something that could be serious.
