Dole Recalls Spinach in 13 States Due to Salmonella Risk - A Safer Alternative

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer

Salmonella Risk: Dole Recalls Spinach in 13 States

There is a better way than not eating fresh produce to avoid salmonella risk. 

Dole Fresh Vegetables is voluntarily recalling bagged spinach distributed in 13 states due to possible salmonella contamination according to a report in USA Today. While no illnesses had been reported, Dole is cooperating with the FDA, a company spokesperson said. 

About 2,800 cases or 33,600 bags of spinach from the Dole plant in Springfield, Ohio were involved in the recall. The precautionary recall stems from an "isolated instance" in which a random sample of spinach tested positive for salmonella in a test conducted by the Michigan Agriculture Dept. 

Consumers who have the spinach are warned to discard it. The spinach has an expiration date of October 15, 2015. The spinach was distributed in Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin. 

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning can include fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting or abnormal pain. The illness primarily affects young children, those who are frail and elderly, and people who have a weakened immune system. Instead of risking your family's health or avoiding all spinach, there is a better solution. 

Prevention is the best way to never experience salmonella, e-coli and any other food borne illness. 
Cleaning all produce and meats using strong acidic water from a Japanese medical device is the best way to safeguard your food, This water has been shown to be clinically effective against food borne bacteria, mold, fungus and viruses. It is even used in Japanese hospitals to clean and sterilize surgical equipment. 

Join the hundreds of thousands of people in over 86 countries who use strong acidic water to safeguard their food.  Contact Dr. Fischer from TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia, Michigan for more information or call (248) 382 - 8668 to learn more and to sample this water.

Read what one former TLC Holistic Wellness patient had to say after visiting Dr. Yale.

"From the moment I met Dr. Yale, before she even adjusted or tested me, I knew this was going to be a great experience and that I was finally going to be back to getting the care I needed. Dr. Yale welcomes her patients with open arms. She is willing to take the time to really listen to what her patients have to say so that they can work together to get to the root of the issue.

Her chiropractic adjustments and nutrition testing are as close to Dr. Fischer’s as I believe you can get and the care and compassion she shows her patients is second to none!

I have now been seeing Dr. Yale for about 6 months and I am 100% back to the level of health I was before Dr. Fischer left. Dr. Yale has a fantastic sense of humor, she brings an extremely personal touch to her practice, and she is the most organized holistic doctor we have met. When I go to see Dr. Yale, it is more like seeing a friend then a doctor.

To say I was ecstatic to hear that Dr. Yale would be taking over TLC Holistic Wellness is a huge understatement. I believe a lot of patients felt the same way about the care they were receiving after Dr. Fischer left TLC.

 I urge former patients to come back to TLC now that Dr. Yale is there. You will receive the level of care that kept you coming back to TLC. With Dr. Sherry Yale at the helm, the tender, loving care will now be restored to TLC Holistic Wellness." DD

Estrogen Dominance posted on September 20, 2015 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC, ND

                                  Estrogen Dominance

Estrogen and progesterone levels must be balanced in order to work together efficiently. Factors such as estrogens in foods and the environment, synthetic hormone use (HRT) and obesity, expose women and men to excess estrogen. Excess estrogen is called Estrogen Dominance. 

These are the products that you want to reduce your exposure to if you can. Many of these commercial products contain not only chemicals that act like estrogen, but also chemicals that are carcinogenic. As much as possible replace commercial products with natural products containing ingredients that you recognize and can pronounce. 

Chemicals that Act Like Estrogen are Hiding in Your Everyday Products:
Vinyl Flooring	Detergents	Shampoo	Deodorants
Perfumes	Hairspray	Moisturizers	Children’s Toys
Cosmetics	Soap	Plastics	Garden Hoses

In women progesterone levels tend to drop off sooner and more abruptly with age and lack of ovulation than does estrogen. These factors can result in too much estrogen in relationship to the amount of progesterone being produced in the body. 

This imbalance is a common cause of symptoms during PMS, peri-menopause, menopause and andropause. It can also occur after childbirth or during periods of high stress when a man or woman undergoes a significant hormonal shift. 

Estrogen dominance may be associated with thyroid problems, breast and prostate disease.
 

Common symptoms include: heavy or irregular periods, tender breasts, bloating, irritability,  PMS, mood swings, weight gain, sleep disturbances, female decreased sex drive, infertility and other symptoms of female hormone imbalance, plus male erectile dysfunction and decreased motivation.


There are simple ways to test for this issue. Saliva testing is the most common way to determine the available hormone levels in the body at the cellular level. Blood testing measures the stored hormone levels. Hormones are stored in the blood on protein molecules. They are only removed from the blood when there is chronic long term stress from hormone imbalance. Blood testing of hormones reveals late stage hormone imbalance, while saliva testing measures what is available now for your body to use. 

Visit the store at TLC Holistic Wellness to find out more about the different hormone tests that can be ordered. You can do the simple saliva tests right in the comfort of your own home. Custom tests can also be ordered that include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenal hormones, food allergens and more.

Fruit High in Vit C by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer posted on September 8, 2015

Fruit High in Vitamin C

Vitamin C is the only vitamin that is not stored by the human body. Eat foods rich in Vitamin C daily to help maintain health. Many systems of the body need Vitamin C, including the immune system and hormonal system. Make sure to increase Vitamin C intake when under increased stress. Stress depletes Vitamin C and many other vitamins and minerals. 

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.  

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids (known as Vitamin P), which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.  

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.  

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. It is also a key source of lycopene * the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. 

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

If you are not sure how much vitamin C you are getting or need, contact Dr. Fischer for a dietary analysis. This can be done by email or phone. Contact Dr. Fischer

Changing Body Energy posted on August 26, 2015 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Changing Body Energy

By Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, BS, DC, ND

Healthy bodies vibrate with lots of energy. All cells work using an energy vibration known as voltage. Just like an alkaline battery is used to power radios and toys, bodies store and use voltage. In energy medicine, health is associated with negative voltage, and an alkaline state. Conversely, chronic disease and pain are associated with acidity and a loss of voltage.

Voltage is stored by the fat cells that make up the body cell membranes. This allows the cell to have an unlimited source of energy. Bodies will only be able to store energy if the right fats are consumed. A diet rich in good fats like coconut oil, olive oil, avocado and raw butter/raw milk allows cells to properly store energy.

Faster aging, fatigue, pain and dis-ease formation occurs when the wrong fats are eaten. The worst offenders in the food category are cooked and processed foods, especially those made with canola oil, and any type of trans fat from partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated oils.

To reduce spoilage, food manufacturers heat oils to increase the shelf life of processed foods. The heated oils are trans fats that act as plastic fats in the cell membrane. These fats wrap the cells in a substance like cellophane, which cannot store voltage. This is what makes these fats unhealthy.

Environmental stress and toxins, negative thoughts and emotions, trauma, EMF, caffeine, and a poor functioning thyroid also rob the body of energy. Other culprits are the chemicals chlorine and fluoride that are added to the drinking and bathing water. Bottled water contains plastic residue that causes reduced voltage. A diet high in fried foods, meat, pop, sugars and grains also reduces voltage.

The human body functions at -20 to-25 millivolts, which is the healthy blood pH of 7.365 to 7.4.  The body becomes susceptible to dis-ease when voltage drops. A sick body is associated with a low or positive voltage. Increasing the cellular voltage provides the power for the body to heal itself.

The earth recharges itself lightening strikes, which is 800 times/second somewhere around the world. Human body voltage can be increased by connecting with the earth when swimming in the ocean, standing barefoot in dirt, getting sun exposure and standing in running water. This is why most people feel energized when bathing in water through a shower filter, instead of chlorinated tap water. Hugging someone can also increase energy.

Another way to increase voltage energy is to eat a diet that consists mainly of organic raw, unprocessed, chemical free food. Raw foods can be combined and blended into a smoothie or eaten as a salad. A raw food diet alone may not be sufficient to offset the voltage stealers that rob our bodies of life energy. 

Energy can be increased with proper mineral supplementation, sufficient iodine and natural thyroid support, effective digestive enzymes, and organic, unrefined, unprocessed oils. Drinking living water with a high negative voltage can rapidly increase body voltage, allowing the body to start the healing process. The body can heal itself when given the right tools.

Research Validates Organic is Better posted by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer on August 19, 2015

                                                             Organic is Best!

The debate over whether organic food is healthier than conventionally grown food may be over, according to results from a $25-million study into organic food -- the largest of its kind to date. The four-year, European-Union-funded study found that:

    * Organic fruit and vegetables contain up to 40 percent more antioxidants
    * Organic produce had higher levels of beneficial minerals like iron and zinc
    * Milk from organic herds contained up to 90 percent more antioxidants

The researchers obtained their results after growing fruit and vegetables, and raising cattle, on adjacent organic and non-organic sites. They say that eating organic foods can even help to increase the nutrient intake of people who don’t eat the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

Eating organic produce decreases exposure to GMO seed and pesticides, and increases nutritional intake. Another study published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition showed that organically grown fruits and vegetables contained about twice the amount of beneficial minerals as those grown by conventional methods. 

The power to change the current food supply is in our hands. Every food item purchased is a vote for that type of food. If the food is not organic or locally grown, then it is commercially produced and related to GMO seed. Each organic purchase is a vote against the industrialized food conglomerates. Support organic farms and local farmers. Shop at farmer’s markets and support local farmers who grow and sell organic food.

For better health purchase and eat organic free-range beef, pork and poultry. Free range ensures that the animals and poultry are allowed to roam free to eat their natural diet, and are not given any antibiotics, hormones or drugs. Eat wild caught fish instead of farm-raised fish to avoid consuming additional antibiotics and genetically modified corn. Eat organically grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
