Restaurants are getting dinged by the convenience of Netflix, the advent of pre-made meals, the spread of online grocery delivery, plus crushing student debt and a focus on healthy eating. Eighty-two percent of American meals are prepared at home — more than were cooked 10 years ago, according to researcher NPD Group Inc. The latest peak in restaurant-going was in 2000, when the average American dined out 216 times a year. That figure fell to 185 for the year ended in February, NPD said.
I received this email about a topic that is of great importance to any woman who has taken a hormonal birth control pill.
I just didn’t know this affected so many women. Or that so many of the women I love might be at risk.
In a recent conversation with my friend Dr. Jolene Brighten, I learned that every woman who has used hormonal birth control is at risk for Post-Birth Control Syndrome.
PBCS is defined by Dr. Brighten as ”the collection of disruptive symptoms women face once they’ve concluded the use of hormonal birth control.”
Women may struggle with any of the following since starting or getting off birth control:
Headaches
Hair loss
Libido loss
Mood swings
Insomnia
Depression
Anxiety
Chronic yeast infections
Chronic UTIs
Cystic acne, outbreaks, and rashes
Irregular or nonexistent periods
Painful or heavy periods
And the most heartbreaking part? PBCS can make it impossible to have children on your own once you’ve stopped birth control. Know anyone struggling to conceive? This could be why.
To help women everywhere, Dr. Brighten is hosting Post-Birth Control Syndrome Awareness Week November 5-11, 2018.
During this special week, you can take online classes (without paying anything) to learn more about PBCS, how to heal it and how to avoid it.
Because this is so critically important and because over 90% of women will take birth control at some point in their life, I’m going to ask you to do something I rarely do: share this.
Together we can put an end to the silent suffering women face and we can let women everywhere know that it’s not “all in her head.”

October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the U.S. National Mammography Day is October 19. Vitamin D optimization could potentially eliminate a vast majority of breast cancers, yet this key information is completely ignored by conventional breast cancer awareness campaigns
Most cancers occur in people with a vitamin D blood level between 10 and 40 ng/mL, and the optimal level for cancer protection has been identified as being between 60 and 80 ng/mL
Research shows having a vitamin D blood level above 60 ng/mL lowers your risk of breast cancer by more than 80 percent, compared to having a level below 20 ng/mL
Recent research shows postmenopausal women who receive a diagnosis of breast cancer are more likely to have low vitamin D and be overweight than women who receive a negative diagnosis
This year, do your breast health a real favor and get your vitamin D level checked. One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of doing this is to enroll in the D*Action Breast Cancer Prevention project, which now includes both vitamin D and omega-3 testing
The Morning Call of Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania is now reporting that one nurse’s aide has been awarded $11.6 million for being paralyzed with GBS after receiving a flu shot. This is newsworthy, because pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued in civil court for damages due to vaccines. Congress gave them total immunity to such lawsuits in 1986 and that law was upheld by the pro-Pharma Supreme Court in 2011. Sales of vaccines include a tax that is paid to fund a special court where government attorneys fight for the U.S. government to prevent paying out damages due to vaccines. It is a long and difficult process, so settled cases represent only a tiny fraction of the amount of vaccine damaged people in our society.
Eating your main meal at 2 p.m., and skipping an evening meal altogether and fasting until the next morning, combats weight gain by reducing hunger, increasing fat burning and improving metabolic flexibility to burn both fat and carbs
People who eat dinner (evening meal) at least two hours before bedtime have a 20 percent reduction in cancer risk for breast and prostate cancer combined
Men and women who eat dinner two or more hours before bedtime have a 26 percent and 16 percent lower risk of prostate and breast cancer respectively than those who eat dinner closer to bedtime
“Morning people” who have a natural affinity for getting up early in the morning are at particularly high risk for cancer when eating dinner too close to bedtime, compared to “night owls”
Avoiding food at least two or three hours before bedtime will help you optimize your mitochondrial function, which is key for optimal health and chronic disease prevention
The inactivated flu vaccine does not appear to be effective in preventing influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthma. In fact, children who get the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than their peers who do not get the vaccine, according to new research. While these findings do raise questions about the efficacy of the vaccine, they do not in fact implicate it as a cause of hospitalizations, according to researchers.
(No, the vaccine does not have to cause the hospitalisations per se, the toxins in the vaccine lower the ability of the body’s immune system to deal with pathogens. – Tom)
This aligns with the Canadian study from a few years ago that found those who get the flu vaccine are more likely to get the flu than those who do not get the vaccine. – Tom

And the government continues to allow this insanity?!?!?!?
WORSE! The people still line up for it!
Please spread the word so we dry up the demand.
