Dr. Machelle Seibel is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Director of the Complicated Menopause Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Seibel has been a leader in women’s health for over two decades. He performed the first successful in vitro fertilization in Massachusetts (one of the first in the country), has conducted many published clinical trials, testified before the FDA, and been invited to speak to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.He will be here to discuss the cycle of menstruation, infection, and the PH connection. He is the author of several books including The Soy Solution, and A Woman’s Book of Yoga, along with many respected industry and educational books on fertility. The pH of a healthy vagina is typically 3.5 to 4.5. Blood, for example, has a pH of 7.4. So during menstruation, vaginal pH can become elevated. Tampons contribute to the elevated pH because they retain the fluids that cause pH to increase. Many women who suffer from recurrent infections find that their period is often the event that sets them in motion. The overgrowth of bacteria that occurs with pH imbalance can cause an unpleasant odor and itch. It is critical to use a tampon with the minimum absorbency required and change it at least every 4 to 8 hours to keep the pH balanced to its optimum 4.3 and keep unwanted or pathogenic bacteria from overpopulating.

Author Arnold Kozak will be here to talk about his new book Wild Chickens and Petty Tyrants: 108 Metaphors for Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a process of self-inquiry directed at what is happening in the moment, a focus on experience as it occurs without inner commentary or judgment. Metaphors are indispensable to mindfulness practice. They motivate us, help us bring mindfulness into daily life, and show us how to use mindfulness as a tool for self-improvement. Their imagery helps anchor understanding and provides a bridge from concept to experience. This book presents 108 metaphors for mindfulness, meditation practice, self-change, acceptance, and other related concepts. Compiled by the author over a 25-year period, they employ imagery as diverse as the inner mute button and Earl Gray tea. Many are original; others are selected from the classic literature on Buddhism and mindfulness. Each is a node in a network of interweaving concepts that enliven the experience of mindfulness while alleviating stress, anxiety, and depression. Dr. Arnold Kozak Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist and founder of Exquisite Mind in Burlington,VT, where he practices mindfulness-based psychotherapy.
In a new report from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), Dr. Amanda Staudt, Climate Scientist, with NWF and lead writer for the report, helps put this winter’s snowstorms in context and explains the bigger picture of climate impacts and oddball winter weather. Winter 2009/2010 is already proving to be unusual for the United States, with the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast getting relatively little snow while the Mid-Atlantic is having one of the snowiest winters on record since 1898. The D.C. area gets a blizzard about every ten years, but has seen three big blizzards in six weeks. Most agree that no individual episode of severe weather can be attributed to global climate trends, though there is evidence that such events will probably become more frequent as global temperatures rise. In the report, Oddball Winter Weather: Global Warming’s Wake-Up Call for the Northern United States, Dr. Staudt notes that even as global warming slowly changes the character of winter, we will still experience significant year-to-year variability in snowfall and temperature because many different factors are at play. We do not expect global warming to cause a steady march to less wintry conditions.The most important thing we can do to reduce the potential impact of changing winter weather is to reduce our global warming pollution as much and as soon as possible. At the same time, we need to take steps to help communities, winter-dependent industries, and wildlife prepare for the winter weather changes already reflected in this trend. We can no longer plan based on the climate we used to have.For more on this report please visit www.nwf.org
Dear Listeners,
Please do not co-sponsor Senator McCain's Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 (DSSA). I ask you instead to vehemently oppose it! DSSA seeks to repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). DSHEA protects supplements if 1) they are food products that have been in the food supply and not chemically altered or 2) if they were sold as supplements prior to 1994, the year that DSHEA was passed. If a supplement fits one of these two descriptions, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cannot arbitrarily ban it or reclassify it as a drug. If this bill passes, the FDA would have full discretion and power to compile a discrete list of supplements allowed to remain on the market. Supplements drawn entirely from food and long-established supplements or supplement potencies could be arbitrarily banned. McCain's Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA) appears to be supported by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) which is funded by major league sports teams including baseball, football and others. In his comments, Senator McCain cited six NFL players recently suspended for testing positive for banned substances and purportedly exposed to these substances through dietary supplements. The problem here is, of course, one of illegal sale and use of steroids. So why dismantle the supplement industry in order to control already illegal substances? The FDA currently has complete and total authority to stop illegal steroids and, more broadly, to regulate dietary supplements. If the agency were doing its job, it could and would have prevented the sale of illegal steroids. The answer to this problem is not to give FDA more power; we should instead demand that the FDA do its job. Why would a bill be offered to solve an illegal steroid problem that does not really address the steroid problem but instead gives the FDA complete and arbitrary control over all supplements? One possible explanation is that the bill's sponsor buys into the often heard argument that supplements and drugs should be treated identically, that both should be brought through the FDA's drug approval process in the same way. This is a completely false argument. The FDA drug approval process costs as much as a billion dollars. It is not economically feasible to spend such vast sums on substances that are not protected by patent, and natural substances cannot legally be patented. This is the great "Catch-22" of American medicine. The FDA is unfriendly to supplements because they do not come through the drug approval process. But the drug approval process only makes sense for patentable substances that will sell at very high prices. This leaves the FDA, which is supposed to guard and promote our health, hostile to the kind of natural medicine — based on diet, supplements, and exercise — that represents the real future of healthcare. If McCain's bill passes, we can look to Europe for a snapshot of what we may be in for: EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, has sharply reduced the list of available supplements and is in the process of reducing potencies to ridiculous levels, such as less beta carotene than can be found in half of a large carrot. The federal deficit-debt is at obscene levels, while government actuaries mathematically project future financial insolvency. Why then is any legislation being proposed that creates more federal debt, saddles the private sector with needless but costly new regulations, and denies Americans free access to better dietary supplements that reduce their need for expensive medical care? The Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 is a blatant example of oppressive legislation that undermines free markets, decimates private sector innovation, and hastens the federal government's plunge into a financial abyss. Please refuse to co-sponsor the Dietary Supplement Safety Act and any other legislation that adds to the already outrageously high fiscal deficit.
Sincerely,
Frankie Boyer
