The Dumbing-Down of the American Public – Part II

April 18, 2014 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Is Grandma Overmedicated?

Part II of a Five-Part Series

Bottles of Prescription Pills

 

In recent months Americans have witnessed an increase in the tragic loss of loved ones through suicide, and violent outbursts upon innocent bystanders. Locally we have experienced the tragic death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, originally from Fairport, the trial of Dawn Nguyen, and the Fort Hood shootings.

Simultaneously, the use of pharmaceutical medications has skyrocketed in America. Only two countries in the world allow their citizens to market drugs on television: New Zealand and the United States. In one generation the number of individual pills consumed by Americans has increased from one billion to one hundred thirteen billion.

Is there a relationship between the two?

Join Lisa Hill DiFusco and The LightHeart Team for a provocative presentation.

Could Low Vitamin D Cause the Winter Blues?

March 3, 2014 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Bottle of Vitamin D3 5000 IUsIf you feel blue in the winter, there could be an easy explanation unrelated to your emotions…. low Vitamin D! Those of us who live in Rochester, blessed with incredible lakes and rolling hills, and 200 days on average of overcast skies… may be more susceptable to Vitamin D deficiency than we realize. Approximately 80-90 percent of the American public is deficient in Vitamin D. Deficiency results in loss of memory, depression, weak muscles, tender bones and frequent infections, to name just a few items. Check with your physician (or dentist) and have your Vitamin D checked. A healthy score from a Functional Medicine perspective (what the body needs to function optimally) is between 60 – 80. Contact us for more information.
