Lithium In Our Drinking Water?

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Many recent studies have come out lately showing just how important the mineral lithium is to our health. And I’m all for whatever natural solutions we can find to preserve health… but not this one. I’ll give you details below on studies that show that long term lithium use is associated with a reduced risk of dementia, and this is on top of previous studies that show that lithium may actually lower our over all lifetime risk of cancer. But adding it to the water supply, instead of just recommending lithium supplementation? Uh… no. I’m not good with that. …

Fortunately, there are lots of great things to do to get prepared as the seasons change. Of course there are things like pulling out your sweaters and boots and knitting a scarf or two and planting a winter garden and getting the fireplace cleaned that you might look forward to this fall. But one thing that I get every year, and absolutely never look forward to, is a …

Resolving PTSD, OCD, Tobacco and Drug Addiction Too

Chakra Health, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A recent medical study came out looking at the natural supplement N-Acetylcysteine (NAC for short) in healing the brain after trauma… …with fantastic results. NAC is a potent brain antioxidant and protector — found essential in the healing of the brain after impact injury (such as concussion) so researchers wanted to investigate if this supplement could actually help heal the brain after different types of mental injury as well… such as PTSD and addiction. It’s not often that a holistic supplement is studied this extensively and found to have such robust positive outcomes, yet it’s not something that I’ve …

5 Things You Can Do To Naturally Lift Depression

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Yet another medical study continues to verify that probiotics absolutely robustly treat depression. Researchers found that only 4 weeks — just ONE MONTH — of probiotic therapy significantly lifted depression, decreased anhedonia, reversed sleep disturbances… and that these improvements were still sustained months later. These results are so impressive because probiotics had zero of the adverse side effects that prescriptions antidepressants do and can safely be taken indefinitely. The Study: (presented at the 13th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry on June 19, 2017) 10 patients with major depressive disorder in a current episode of depression were treated with a …

This supplement decreases diabetic pain (and decreases asthma flares too!)

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve already told you about a recent study that shows low Vit D is a risk factor for developing diabetes. Today’s medical literature review further confirms the role of Vitamin D in not just preventing diabetes, but actually treating diabetic pain once it has already developed…. …after just ONE DOSE! Which is huge. Because not only does Vit D increase insulin sensitivity and prevent diabetes, but it actually gives you a tool to help treat issues such as diabetic nerve pain once it has developed. The Study: Researchers studied over 140 participants with Type 2 Diabetes who suffered …
