The parasites Dientamoeba fragilis and Blastocystis Trusted SourcePubMedGo to source were not found to contribute to IBS in a study conducted in Denmark. Dr. Ruscio says: both of these protozoa appear to have mixed data; sometimes they are associated with causing GI illness, sometimes they’re not. So, what to do? If this is the only finding in a symptomatic patient, then treat. If there are other infections/findings, treat those and then re-evaluate. If there are no symptoms, do not treat.
Mercury and autism – is there a link?A recent systemic review found that research regarding mercury in autism suggests a high risk of bias due to industry funding.
Man seems to be adapting to the ugliness of smoky skies, polluted streams, and anonymous buildings; to life without the fragrance of flowers, the song of birds, and other pleasurable stimuli from nature. This adaptation, however, is only superficial, and destructive in the long run. Air, water, earth, fire, the subtle forces of the cosmos, the natural rhythms and diversity of life have shaped man’s nature during the evolutionary past and have created deep-rooted sensual and emotional needs that cannot be eradicated. The impoverishment of sensual and emotional life will progressively result in the atrophy of our uniquely human attributes.

Would like to know what you think about the ‘meridian stress assessment’?
Hi Gretchen,
I don’t know much about it but I think there might be cheaper and more validated methods of assessing stress like HRV, as we have discussed in previous posts 🙂 Hope this helps!
