Decaying fish dump PCBs in Alaska’s lakes.
18 September 2003
MICHAEL HOPKIN
Salmon travelling to Alaska’s lakes to spawn are carrying large doses of
industrial pollutants with them, a study has shown10.
Environmentalists fear that the accumulation of these compounds, called
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), could have harmful consequences for the
region’s top carnivores: bears, eagles - and humans.
Each summer, millions of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) make the 1,000-km
trip from the North Pacific back to the lakes where they were born. After
spawning there, they die, and their carcasses decompose in the lakes’ sediment.
The fish arrive loaded with PCBs from their oceanic feeding grounds, report

<<With regards to personal food intolerances, last month I had a sophisticated
and expensive done by the Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab. The test is $144 for 88
foods, and
I added on 21 additional food for $31.50. If you are interested you should
consult your physician regarding “Food Anti-body Assessment” (this is the ELISA
blood test and covers immediate food
allergies and delayed food intolerances).
Katchy,
Can you please tell us more about the test from Great Smokies? They are the lad
Dr. D’Adamo uses so I would trust them.
Thanks!

Hi folks,
My husband and I are still inching into BTD for Os. Our daughter and
son-in-law are also taking steps in the O direction.
One of our members in the ER4YT=O group mentioned he has high blood pressure and
I wanted to share some info. I, too, had high blood pressure (past tense!). I
happened upon a site with info about how to lower HBP and bought their product.
Withing 3 months I was off all medication with my doctor’s approval, of course.
The site is resperate.com and the product is easy to use and (for me) it works.
Try it, there’s a money back guarantee.

After looking on the list of “O” foods, I don’t see shrimp listed.
Is it a neutral like lobster?
Also where is the most current listing on “O” foods listed?? I keep
reading in the posts that things are changing….is pinto beans
really not beneficial anymore??
I also am suffering from a HUGE yeast infection. (I have only had 3
in my lifetime) I took the store version to get rid of it, and it’s
still here after the 3 day treatment. Could anyone recommend
something to help? And what generally is the main cause of yeast
infection??
thanks…

Darlene, do you get the rose hips and raspberry at the hfs too? in tea
form? I’m thinking of using my own roots and drying the leaves… our yard and
garden has no chemicals on it it’s about as organic as any organic farm would
be… of course no one can do much about whatever residue comes from the air

First, I want to thank those of you who responded to my post: “All
swirled up, need encouragement.”
Katchy and Thomas, I am in admiration that you have this down to a
science. I am not yet at that place; and honestly, I don’t know if I
ever will be. I’m nearly 51 now, and I’ve been following some sort
of eating program, off and on, since I was about 15. You name it,
I’ve probably been on it. But not knowing that my body could not
handle certain foods, from the Blood Type aspect as well as the
carbohydrate aspect, I just kept trying and trying. Having a little
bit of success, and always ending up gaining what I lost, plus more,
until I finally topped out at 256 lbs. on my short frame of 5′3″.
Beginning with Dr. Abravanel’s Body Type program, I managed to get
down to 232 lbs. Then I began the Dr. D’Adamo’s Blood Type program,
but switched to Dr. Atkin’s program. On the Atkins program, I
managed to get down to 214 lbs. quite easily, but felt worried the

I have never tried the ones from the yard. I just buy loose dandelion
root ground from the health food store. Its very inexpensive and I
put it in a tea ball or tea stranier to steep. I drink that for
breakfast and rosehip and rasberry throughout the day.

Although you may have your own ideas about the optimal frequency of
physicians’ visits for your family member, you many encounter some
resistance along the way. Caregivers often choose a physician, and
then cancel their appointment at the last minute. This behavior may
be frustrating and upsetting to the entire family.
Here are some of the reasons why caregivers may cancel doctor’s
appointments:
Many caregivers are in severe denial that their loved one has
Alzheimer’s disease or other progressively debilitating illnesses.
After a “probable” diagnosis is determined, they cancel future
appointments hoping that the doctor made a mistake.
Caregivers often equate good physical health with good mental

In the anatomy textbooks, the major organs are easy to find. The liver is always
brown, the spleen is green, the heart is red and the small intestine is squeezed
like a row of sausages into the abdomen. But one of the principal organs,
present in close to 50% of North American men and women, is missing. Fat.
