What is Happening to the American Seed?

The healthier the food you consume, the happier you will feel, literally!

But what if the food you consume is coming from “less than healthy” molecules, stripped soils, soap and chemical byproducts?

In 2013 President Obama signed into law the Monsanto Protection Act protecting the biotech company from litigation if challenged in the face of current and future health risks. The law also protects Monsanto from having to label their genetically modified foods.

Does the impact of the quality of molecules consumed effect our clarity of thinking, energy, and vibrancy?

Does it play a role in the epidemic of chronic conditions growing in our country?

Join Lisa Hill DiFusco on May 13th, 2014 at 2:00 pm, or at 6:00 pm  for a fascinating presentation on the growing assault on American food, and the “dumbing-down of the American public”.

The Dumbing Down of the American Public – Part III

Where Do Mental Health Disorders Come From?

Part III of a Five-Part Series

Diagnostic Statistic Manual - 5A marked increase in the consumption of psychiatric drugs is occurring simultaneously with an increase in suicides, violence on our streets, and Social Security disability claims. Is there a relationship?

The fifth revision of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, otherwise known as the DSM-5 was released in May 2013 and has been the subject of scathing criticism by psychiatrists and psychologists due to its lack of science and reliability. Within it the list of  (insurance-reimbursed) “billable conditions” grew to include Caffeine Disorder, Jet Lag and Mathematics Disorder, to name a few. The DSM IV (the prior edition) created a 40-fold increase in child bipolar diagnosis from the prior edition and an epidemic of dangerous antipsychotic prescriptions for small children.

Please join us for a riveting discussion outlining the scientific failure of the DSM-5 and the implication for adults, youth and children.

Join us Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 2 pm or 6 pm.

Could Low Vitamin D Cause the Winter Blues?

By

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.

Sesame-Crusted Sole with Baby Bok Choy and Wild Rice

By

Try this delicious recipe from Mark Hyman’s new book The Blood Sugar Solution.

Bok choy

Serving Size: 2

Wild Rice

1/4 cup uncooked wild rice

Pinch of sea salt

3/4 cups water

Sole

1/4 cup sesame seeds

2 (4-oz) skinless sole fillets

2 tbsp sesame oil

2 heads baby bok choy, trimmed

2 garlic cloves, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Make the wild rice: Put the wild rice, salt and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 50 to 55 minutes.

Make the sole: Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Lightly rub the sole with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Press the sole onto the sesame seeds to form a crust. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and swirl it around the skillet to distribute evenly. Carefully lay the sole in the skillet. Cook the fish until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, leaving it undisturbed to ensure a crunchy crust. Using a fish spatula, turn the sole over and brown the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. The fish should flake apart with gentle pressure when done. Remove the sole from the pan and set on a plate.

Add the bok choy, garlic and ginger to the skillet. Toss well, until the bok choy begins to wilt. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Place the bok choy and steamed wild rice on plates and serve the fish on top. Any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.

Enjoy!
