Noteworthy part 1

Kate Birch is the author of Glyphosate Free.  She had been a homeopathic health practitioner for some 25 years when she began having strange symptoms.  Suicidal thoughts also.  She first became aware of the pesticide, glyphosate, at a local Weston Price meeting – as I did.  She retraced her life journey to discover the onset of symptoms began after she had delivered a huge truck load (200 tons) of dirt for a school gardening project.  (This happened in the Midwest where, she says, this is more likely to happen.). Level of it was unknown pesticide glyphosate after working in a school garden shovelling dirt.  Glyphosate is an ingredient in the product Roundup.  This is her report of discovering and dealing with it.  Since the year 2000 the use of it has exploded in USA. Pediatricians are concerned about how it is effecting today’s growing children, because kids aren’t responding to MDs previous ways of treating common childhood issues. (entries 3/3& 6/20).

Fran Drescher, 63, actress and comedienne, has a women’s health website and sponsors some mobile testing units serving women in low income areas.  Her personal experience of going around to 8 doctors over a 2 year period before getting to a diagnosis of uterine cancer was a deciding factor in becoming involved in our “health system”.  Resources there do include books by Christian’s Northrup, MD and a holistic mercury-free dentist.  She is celebrating 20 cancer- free years.*

Arthur Firstenburg, PhD dropped out of medical school after 4 years in California and !40 dental x-rays.  He is the author of The Invisible Rainbow:  A History of Electricity and Life.  He was living in NYC when the cell phone towers started blanketing the area in November 1996.  Then he became terribly ill.  He started a non-profit, Cell Phone Taskforce, to listen to thousands of calls from the effected.  He eventually relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  The cell phone taskforce now has its own website.*

Christine Schaffner, Naturopathic MD, is a grad of UVA pre-med and psychology and then graduated from Bastyr University.  As she is widening her field of influence to promote health she has had Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD as her mentor and co-worker.  Since she has a 1 year old child I expect she will be looking at more children’s issues.  She interviews many folks online looking at and addressing the 21st century factors eroding if not totally destroying our functioning health.  Many free online learning classes on various topics using what science already knows.
