If you haven't watched the USA show, Royal Pains, you have been enjoying the summer outside. Congratulations. I caught up on a few episodes online and found it to provide an interesting lesson about underlying healthy risks that we all take for granted.
In one episode Dr. Hank Lawson discovered an actor who had numbness in his legs and poor balalnce was suffering from zinc poisoning. Part of his costume was a denture made up of scary teeth so he could be the ominous "Garbage Collector." His use of denture cream made him so toxic he was loosing control of his muscles. How many elderly people are given prescription drugs to combat muscular problems that are assumed to be a part of aging?
With another client, he discovered old chemicals in the client's basement causing mercury poisoning which was causing sleeplessness, anxiety and poor coordination. Not everyone the luxury of a doctor that makes home visits but it is telling how important environmental health is for us.
It is crucial that we take a dissecting look at what is around us at home and at work. Chemicals that seem innocent are in shampoo and make up. The gargage probably contains decades of dangerous products. Electrical appliances also disuptive to our delicate inner electrical systems within the brain and nervous systems.
Doctors may ask a lot of pertinent health questions, but because they really have no idea how you are living on a daily basis, they don't know you at all.
What you do matters.
See you at the table...the adjusting table.
