    I stumbled on one of the growing number of local media stories on the power of vitamin D. \nIn one story, a purported "expert" was talking about the benefits of "high-dose" vitamin D, meaning up to 1000, even 2000 units per day. \nI regard this as high-dose---for an infant. \nJudging by my experiences, now numbering well over 1000 patients over three years time, I'd regard this dose range not as "high dose," nor moderate dose, perhaps not even low dose. I'd regard it as barely adequate.

  • The University of Main posts valuable information on this topic at http://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/4336.htm. Based on their research, they recommend soaking produce in distilled water for 1-2 minutes. They tested commercial produce washes, and found no benefit over the use of distilled water.
  • veggie & fruit washes: for years,i have felt confident in the info i heard that E-COLI & SALMONELLA, as well as waxes & other residues are neutralized by bathing items in a bowl of water, as pure as possible, and "A SWIG" of un-filtered APPLE CIDER VINEGAR... the key is the concentration of the "mother" floating in the un-filtered variety... 2 minutes to soak, then a bathing rinse in pure water.. only wash what you plan to eat within 12-18 hours, as wilting will occur on more delicate veggies...
  • Washing fruits and vegies that are not organically grown. Use a large receptical or pot - fill halfway with filtered water, or authentic spring water, add a heaping spoon of Kosher salt, 1/8 cup lemong juice (this mixture creates hydrochloric acid). This combination of "do-it-yourself home remedy" works better than store bought washes. I generally add, for additional protection, if there is such a thing - 3 Tbsps vinegar

  • A couple of months ago I heard a piece on NPR about a study on commercial fruit/veggie washes. While they didn't test plain water alone, they tested fancy veggie wash vs. white vinegar vs. a quick polish with a cloth. The vinegar cleaned the best, and also had anti-microbial effects. So I'm using white vinegar followed by a water rinse now.
  • I personally wouldn't use hydrogen peroxide to wash my produce -- it's linked to neurotoxicity, organ toxicity, and cancer, and its use is restricted in Canadian lip products. Here's the Skin Deep report for that ingredient.
  • For fragile fruits and veggies, such as lettuces, or soft skinned fruit like peaches, etc. two minutes is long enough for a wash. The harder skinned items such as apples, Qs, tomatoes, etc. for 5-minutes. After this wash, rinse thoroughly with filtered water, pat dry with a clean dish cloth. It is well advised to peel those food items with skins on them. As for the more perishable ones like leafy or tender vegies, wash only before consuming, and only what you intend to eat at the tiem. Pat dry with a paper towel or cloth. Additonally, if you consume ORGANIC fruits and vegies, wash them as well with filtered water and vinegar and rinse clean just before consumption. This cleans off the grit and any tiny creatures left on them. If you can afford to pay a little extra, buy ORGANIC. IT IS HEALTHIER FOR YOUR BODY.

    β-Glucans (or beta-glucans) are polysaccharides of D-glucose monomers linked by glycosidic bonds. They occur most commonly as cellulose in plants and trees, the bran of cereal grains, the cell wall of baker's yeast, certain types of fungi, and many kinds of mushrooms and bacteria. Some forms of beta glucans are useful in human nutrition as texturing agents and as soluble fiber supplements, but problematic in brewing as excessive levels make the wort too viscous. Yeast derived beta glucans are notable for their immunomodulatory function

    Over many centuries, Frankincense oil has been found to have medicinal benefits. Now, an enriched extract of the Somalian Frankincense herb (Boswellia carteri) has been shown to kill off bladder cancer cells growing in culure. Research presented in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine demonstrates that this herb has the potential to become an alternative therapy for bladder cancer.
