1. There are physicians who are specially trained to work with the elderly – they are called geriatricians. They can tailor your medical care to your aging body’s needs.
2. The FDA is warning that some of the applesauce products that we are giving to our toddlers have LEAD in them. Lead can damage developing brains.
3. Have You Heard of GABA? This Supplement May Help You Manage Anxiety and Depression.
4. Did you know that your small intestine is often called your second brain? What? It is true. Learn what Harvard can teach us about this.
5. Have you heard of the process of Inflammation in our bodies? How can it help us heal but is also can lead to increasing states of illness? Diseases due to inflammation cause more than 50% of all deaths globally.
6. Are you or one of your family or friends taking a medication called Wegovy for weight loss? You may wish to read some of the small print on Side Effects or Interactions before you make up your mind.
7. Strawberries. We all love them. Do you know though that they have more pesticides in and on them than any other fruit or vegetable? Read on…

1. Geriatricians – physicians trained to provide healthcare for the elderly. From Johns Hopkins “When your children were little, you probably took them to a pediatrician. After all, babies and children have specialized needs that differ from those of adults.
On the other end of the spectrum, older adults often have different medical concerns than they had in their 30s or 40s. Yet many people have no idea that there are specialists just for seniors.”
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/geriatrician
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/specialists-in-aging-do-you-need-a-geriatrician

2. The FDA is warning that some of the applesauce products that we are giving to our toddlers have LEAD in them. Lead can damage developing brains. Lead in some applesauce products for our little kids? Yes and the FDA has suggested that we throw them away. If your toddler has been eating them often, you might want to ask your pediatrician about doing a lab test to check. Lead can stunt brain development. Good to know. Also good to know is that we can now remove that lead from a little body if necessary! https://apple.news/AeDbEmYVST5mVc_D72_GchQ

3. Have You Heard of GABA? This Supplement May Help You Manage Anxiety and Depression. Gamma-aminobutyric acid, commonly known as GABA, is an amino acid (a molecule that builds proteins) and is naturally produced in the brain. GABA acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, is a chemical that can block anxiety messages between brain cells. (called an inhibitory neurotransmitter). Because of this, GABA serves a critical role in reducing brain activity to calm the central nervous system.

4. Did you know that your small intestine is often called your second brain? You may rightly ask how this could be true. Harvard explains it this way: The enteric nervous system that regulates our gut is often called the body’s “second brain.”
“Although it can’t compose poetry or solve equations, this extensive network uses the same chemicals and cells as the brain to help us digest and to alert the brain when something is amiss. Gut and brain are in constant communication.”
“ Normally, when we see something tasty, the brain signals the gut to prepare for incoming food. When we feel anxious or stressed, we might experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, or “butterflies.” Messages travel from the gut to the brain, too. This helps explain why when we eat something that makes us sick, we instinctively avoid the food and even the place we found it.”
Harvard article: https://hms.harvard.edu/news-events/publications-archive/brain/gut-brain #:~:text=The%20enteric%20nervous%20system%20that,brain%20when%20something%20is%20amiss.

5. A. Inflammation – rather a two-edged sword. When we are injured, it helps us to heal. But there is another, chronic form of inflammation that can be very harmful.
A. Let’s take a closer look. Really closer. There is a part of the brain called the Hypothalamus that is connected to another part called the Pituitary and hormones from these connect directly to our Adrenal Gland. So, when we are injured (scratches, bumps, bites, and so forth) the Adrenal Gland pumps out chemicals that stimulate the Immune System to send particles to the area to start the healing process.
B. So what does chronic inflammation look like and why do we need to know? As mentioned in the Table of Contents, diseases of chronic inflammation account for more than 50% of all deaths globally. What diseases are these? Cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke and diabetes. Some of the symptoms include: Chills, Fatigue or loss of energy, Headaches, Loss of appetite, and Muscle stiffness.
Chronic inflammation can cause the following symptoms:
• Body pain
• Gastrointestinal complications such as constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux
• Weight gain or loss
• Frequent infections
• Depression, anxiety, and mood disorders
5.C Fortunately, if you suspect some of these conditions may be occurring, there are some lab tests that insurance covers called Inflammation Markers. If you suspect that your body may be having higher levels of chronic inflammation, you can ask your physician or NP to order some lab studies to check this out. If you do have higher levels of inflammation, there are many helpful ways to reverse this!
https://arupconsult.com/content/inflammatory-markers Fortunately if you are experiencing higher levels of inflammation there are several ways to reduce it. Your healthcare provider may prescribe some medications. However, right off the bat, there is something that you can do for yourself. It is called the
Anti-Inflammatory Diet and you can start it now. Here are some tips from Harvard to help you get started: https://www.health.harvard.edu/promotions/healthbeat/inflammation-healthbeat?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=inflammation&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwwr6wBhBcEiwAfMEQs0jSj5PJ3LPRJHLJ_nxApP4ZzbiydHVSqviN-3G0Hgf1UKvQF9AgwxoCRbwQAvD_BwE



6. Wegovy. If you or someone you love is taking this, it would be a helpful idea to look a bit closer at some of the side effects that you may not know.
This site – rxlist.com,is incredibly helpful in avoiding potential problems with your meds. Now, with Wegovy, there are some Warnings and Precautions that include: Risk of Thyroid C-Cell Tumors, Pancreatitis, Gallbladder Disease, Acute kidney injury, allergic response, Heart Rate Increase, Suicidal Thoughts, blood sugar that is too low. There is also quite a list of potential side effects at this site. See what you think. https://www.rxlist.com/wegovy-drug.htm

7. Strawberries! So excellent in so many ways. However, as mentioned, they have more pesticides on and in them than any other fruit or vegetable! Here is a good way to find out more.
Have you heard about the Dirty Dozen/Clean Fifteen from the Environmental Working Group? This can save you money and help to protect you and your family at the grocery store. You do not need to spend money on organic everything. There is a whole list called the Clean Fifteen that lists fruits and vegetables that are safe to buy without spending the money for organic. For example: a few on the Clean Fifteen list are: Avocados, Pineapple, Papaya, Kiwi, Asparagus. Learn more at www.ewg.org.
Meanwhile, good to know – the first two items to absolutely buy organic instead of the regular ones are ***Strawberries (the most heavily laced with pesticides fruit in the store!) and ****Blueberries. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has found that 90% of non-organic blueberries contain pesticide residues, including bee-killing neonics. In 2024, EWG's Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce reported that 46% of blueberries tested contained Boscalid, a fungicide that the EPA says may cause cancer. This is a good site to visit to learn more. www.ewg.org.

Though the science of probiotics is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of research, most “probiotics” and probiotic products (especially in the US) are not grounded in science at all. So, in addition to navigating the already challenging “biotic” landscape (prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics), you are expected to discern those touting “science-backed” from actual science.” The one that they recommend – science based – is called DS-01.

2. There is a type of liver virus called Hepatitis C – and many people can now be cured!
3. The World Health Organization and the CDC are working hard to teach us all about the health harms of those “forever chemicals” called PFAS/PFOA.
4. Is “sparkling water” bad for our teeth? Really?
5. Children in your family? Facts to know about toxins in some of their food.
6. Inflammation – more to learn about the underlying element in chronic illness and what we can do about it.
7. Have you heard about the eye drops being removed from the shelves due to toxins?
8. Emergency help line if considering mental health crisis or thoughts of su***de
9. New COVID variant – JN.1 - is rapidly increasing and is responsible for 44% of new cases in the US in December so far. The newest vaccines can provide some protection, but……..your greatest protection is to wear your masks! Seriously.

1. Brain tumors may not always be metastatic; some can be benign. You can learn more about this and some signs and symptoms : The Most Common Signs and Symptoms of a Brain Tumor
A tumor is a growth of abnormal cells that forms when the genes that regulate cell growth do not function normally. A brain tumor is a tumor that develops in the tissues of the brain. Brain tumors may be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Primary brain tumors start in the brain, and metastatic brain tumors spread to the brain from another area of the body. Always ask your P*P for a referral to a neurologist to correctly diagnose what tumor you may have in your brain. Best protection is……..knowledge!
Read in Health: https://apple.news/AEnDCo7CWTTSvn0d9SV-Hpw
2. Hepatitis C – what is it and should we be concerned?
Do you have a family member or a friend diagnosed with Hepatitis C? Good News! With proper treatment, many people can be cured from hepatitis C infection and live healthy lives.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that:
• Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus.
• The virus can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis, ranging in severity from a mild illness to a serious, lifelong illness including liver cirrhosis and cancer.
The Cleveland Clinic explains that:
Hepatitis C is a virus that causes chronic liver inflammation and long-term damage. Transmission commonly occurs through infected needles. HCV is treatable with new antiviral medications, but many people don’t know they’re infected. They may not have symptoms until liver disease has progressed to liver failure.
There are Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B, but they are usually less dangerous if treated.

Hepatitis C Has no vaccine Through blood Chronic in 80% of people. Antivirals can cure 95–98% of chronic infections.

You can learn much more here:

3. What are the outstanding health risks from the forever chemicals called PFAS. You may recall some of the health risks, but this is a wider view – especially as regards children.
We have talked before about the class of chemicals called PFAS or PFOA. There is a great deal of research being done on the health harms that these chemicals can do to us and our children. *The more you know, the safer you can be.
“According to the CDC, research suggests that exposure to some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may lead to harmful health outcomes. These outcomes include:
• Cancer
• Increased cholesterol levels
• Immune system effects

And the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as a possible human carcinogen in 2017. This classification was based on limited evidence that PFOA can cause testicular and kidney cancer in humans.


Breast Cancer Prevention Partners
Other potential health effects of PFAS include:
• Decreased vaccine response in children
• Changes in liver enzymes
• Increased risk of high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia in pregnant women
• Small decreases in infant birth weights
Some products that contain PFAS include:
• Personal care products like shampoo, floss, nail polish, and eye makeup
• Grease-resistant paper
• Fast food containers or wrappers
• Microwave popcorn bags
• Pizza boxes
• Candy wrappers
• Stain-resistant coatings on carpets, upholstery, and other fabrics
• Water-resistant clothes
Children may be more sensitive to the harmful effects of PFAS than adults. This is because children drink more water, eat more food, and breathe more air per pound of body weight than adults.

4. Could “sparkling water” hurt our teeth? Really? Plain sparkling water is a better alternative than sports drinks, sodas or fruit punch. But how much you drink can affect dental health. Also, plan sparkling water is better for our teeth than flavored sparkling water.
By Lindsey Bever

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/12/01/sparkling-water-dental-enamel/

5. Important news to mothers: Nearly 40% of conventional baby food contains toxic pesticides, US study finds. Organic baby foods contain NONE.

Recalled applesauce pouches still on some store shelves, FDA says, as more illnesses reported
Cinnamon applesauce pouches that have been recalled after reports of high blood lead levels in children are still on the shelves at some Dollar Tree stores, the US Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday. Please note: mercury is a potent neurotoxin that can affect the developing brain.
Read in CNN: https://apple.news/AxM7TbRzDS0OC9hofRv3XxA

6. Inflammation – more to learn about the underlying element in chronic illness and what we can do about it. What is inflammation? Two immunologists explain how the body responds to everything from stings to vaccination and why it sometimes goes wrong.
Inflammation is a complicated and important part of how the immune system responds to threats to the body. But when the inflammatory response goes awry, it can lead to serious problems.
Inflammation is a double-edged sword. It is critical for fighting infections and repairing damaged tissue, but when inflammation becomes chronic, this can lead to disease.
Read in The Conversation US: https://apple.news/AOxqb9YGvSHmq8F2j0gDXMg
7. Have you heard about the eye drops being removed from the shelves due to toxins? If you use eye drops daily, you would profit from this information.

• Another eye drop recall pulls 27 products from store shelves
Kilitch Healthcare India is recalling the products more than three weeks after the FDA warned against their use.

MERCEREAU REPORT # 10 – Winter COVID Update, CoEnzyme Q10 Boost for Hearts and Brains – Patient Advocates 12/27/2023

Do you enjoy a “cuppa” of black tea in the morning? Some interesting news about how healthy that can be. Really? Yes, research has shown that black tea can reduce our risk of developing diabetes. Read More Here:

10/19/2023

Systems Biology is an exciting, globally researched and accepted field of science that studies how all the different systems in our bodies are interconnected. For example, the digestive system is closely connected with the nervous, cardiovascular, and muscular systems. Sometimes it is called the “second brain”.

One reason it is called the “second brain” is because more than 90% of serotonin ( a major neurotransmitter) is produced in the small intestine.

By understanding how these systems work together, we can better understand the root causes of disease to better work with healthcare providers to develop more effective treatments.

Doesn’t it make more sense to understand the root cause of disease rather than just prescribe a course of treatment based upon signs and symptoms?

We are an aging population and the signs and symptoms of illness present differently as we age. Root cause does not change though.
