Dr. Sal Giorgianni, a leading pharmacologist, teaches at Belmont University. He is a science advisor to the Men's Health Network and chairman-elect of the American Public Health Association Men's Health Section. He earned his undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Columbia University. In an age of media-hyped public health scares, there's one threat that's very real, very preventable, and completely ignored--prescription drugs that have never been tested and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Don't assume, warns Dr. Sal Giorgianni, that the medicine your doctor prescribed has been through the FDA's rigorous approval process. The FDA has been testing drugs for safety and effectiveness for 50 years. But many older drugs, though never approved, are prescribed 72 million times a year because of "grandfather" provisions and an over-burdened FDA. A new report from the Men's Health Network authored by Dr. Giorgianni explains that many of these drugs--like one commonly taken for gout--are dangerous, even deadly. This threat could be eliminated almost immediately, insists Dr. Giorgianni, but the FDA can't do it alone. Doctors and pharmacists must wake up, and drug companies have to cooperate.

Debbie Lillard is a Professional Organizer and a mother of three. After starting her own organizing business in 2003, she appeared on several episodes of HGTV's Mission: Organization. Since the release of her first book, Absolutely Organized (North Light Books, 2007), she has appeared on national talk radio shows and been quoted as an organizational expert in national magazines. She was recently interviewed for an article in the June 2009 issue of Real Simple. She will be here to talk to us about her new book Absolutely Organize Your Family: Simple Solutions to Control Clutter, Schedules & Spaces This is the perfect book for the parent who says, "I'm organized, but my kids are the problem!" Instead of imposing your own organizing system on your kids, you'll be shown how to make them a part of the decision-making process, so they become more motivated to follow the system. And, as a bonus, important life skills are imparted. Each chapter presents specific organizing challenges faced by children and offers physical resources and routines for meeting them. The solutions are broken down by age range--preschool, elementary school, and middle school/high school--so you can skip right to the solutions that pertain to your family's needs.

Stuart Reeves, Ph.D., ARCS, is director of research and development at Embria Health Sciences, LLC, in Ankeny, Iowa, and is responsible for the company’s internal research and external studies. He is author of The Key to a Healthy Immune System, and has been instrumental in spearheading research investigating the concept of balanced immune health. Dr. Reeves has authored dozens of peer-reviewed papers for such revered publications as the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Food and Agricultural Immunology, Advances in Therapy, Nutrition Research Journal, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, The Open Nutrition Journal and Urologic Nursing. The National Institutes of Health report that 50% of Americans are sensitive to at least one allergen, which is more than twice the rate reported in years past. Americans are crossing into overkill in the use of antibacterials, hand sanitizers, airtight window sealers and just being a bit obsessive-compulsive about being clean, and one expert thinks that trend may be inextricably linked to the rise of allergies in the population. “Our penchant for extreme cleanliness may actually be reducing our immune systems effectiveness in fighting off common allergies and even asthma,” said immune health researcher Stuart Reeves, Ph.D., director of research and development at Embria Health Sciences, LLC (www.epicorimmune.com ), and author of The Key to a Healthy Immune System. “The ‘Hygiene Hypothesis’ is the theory that sterile environments fail to challenge the immune system, and I think that the sudden rise in those affected by allergies may be proof that hypothesis is correct,” says Dr. Reeves. “Unwittingly, Americans’ too-clean behaviors don’t give the body the opportunity to in effect ‘educate’ itself as to whether a boosted or suppressed immune response is the most effective in dealing with environmental factors such as dirt and microorganisms.”
