The subject of detoxification is a common conversation. I have had many conversations it seems this week regarding this subject and would like to take the opportunity to reiterate a few of my opinions. And, they are opinions.

I have been asked a lot about eating organic and what my opinion is. This is a nice little clip on that subject that focuses on some foods related to this subject matter, and every little bit of information is helpful. This clip is consistent with my thinking. Eating organic is difficult, but, doing it to the best of your ability, I think is helpful to your health, and therefore, wise. It will save you money in the long run because it will save money on medical bills later. This is a nice little clip by Dr. Andrew Weil.

I have endlessly defended my position on agave after using it for years in the clinic. I have not seen another natural sweetener that compares. I have not had time to fully research this, but, this just came in to back up its defense.

About two months ago, I was horrified because one of my patients in another country was discovered to have been contacting an institution in Switzerland in order to inquire about euthanasia.  Until now, I had no idea that it was legal in that country. Her family was keeping close watch on her to make sure she was safe. She said she no longer wanted to live in this pain and that there was no hope. She has IC and two other problems simultaneously.
