Investigative journalist Carey Gillam chronicles the travails of a victim of glyphosate exposure in "The Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption and One Man’s Search for Justice." She details the lead-up to a decisive trial which resulted in massive penalties for the makers of Roundup.

And it’s not just about cancer; Gillam describes the more pervasive, insidious effects of industrial chemicals on human health and the environment.

ENCORE: Practical Solutions to a Condition that Plagues Millions of Women: Urinary Incontinence, Part 1
February 16, 2023
Female Incontinence: It’s time it came out of the shadows, given that nearly 1/2 of women will suffer from it to some extent during their lifetimes. It can cause depression, isolation, and shame, and prompt women to limit essential hydration. Urogynecologist Dr. Jill Rabin, co-author of "Mind Over Bladder: A Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Continence" argues that women should not be resigned to incontinence—it can be overcome in a majority of cases. Starting with simple, practical lifestyle interventions, graduating to specialized behavior modification and pelvic floor strengthening techniques, and using medications and surgery only where necessary, a variety of solutions are available. New minimally invasive corrective surgeries obviate the need for lengthy hospitalization and recovery. An innovative new technique, Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) borrows from acupuncture to deliver painless electrical stimulation to re-establish urinary control. Click HERE for part 2.
