Did you know that October is “Breast Health Awareness Month”? I just read an interesting study report here that illustrates yet another good reason to ensure that you have optimal blood levels of vitamin D. Breast cancer risk increases as vitamin D levels decrease below optimal levels. If you haven’t done so yet, please visit a naturopathic physician and ask for a Vitamin D test to make sure you are not deficient.
Tomorrow I am driving down to Santa Rosa, CA for the American Herbalist Guild’s Primary Care Symposium. I look forward to learning all I can about botanical medicine treatments for health issues. Herbal medicine is powerful and I use it often with my patients with excellent results. I’ll share the highlights of what I learn with you all next week. Until then…
Be well,
