Where to Learn How to Eat Raw?
Hi, I am interested in learning how to eat raw. I was wondering if you can help me find where I can sign up for some classes on how to eat raw and it's benefits? And hopefully something that's economic would be a plus!!

Coconut Oil - the Saturated Fat Myth
What is the deal with coconut oil? I hear that it is "wonder oil." How is that possible considering that is among the oils highest in saturated fat?

New, Expansive EM Pollution Seminar!

 

In the upcoming 5-hour "Electromagnetic Pollution - Solid Solutions" Seminar for both doctors (5 CEUs awarded to applicable Minnesota doctors) and the public, we will explore the underlying mechanism that is a common thread in the evolution of numerous disease conditions, from headaches to joint pain, from multiple sclerosis (MS) to diabetes, and from asthma to cancer.

5.5. Breast Thermography at Ecopolitan Building

Breast Thermography, Also Known As Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI)- is available at the Ecopolitan Building. The next date is Thursday, February 9, 9am-6pm. and after this event we will have the test done the first Monday of each month between 9:00-10:00 AM and 2 PM

DITI is a radiation free, contact free, non invasive (symptom-free), state of the art clinical screening test recommended for women of all ages. This test is part of an early breast disease detection program that provides women an opportunity to greatly increase their chances of addressing early stages of cancer and other breast disease. Unlike conventional mammography, DITI is completely safe for pregnant women, women with breast implants, and dense or sensitive breasts, since there is no contact with or compression of the breast. DITI has been recognized as a viable diagnostic tool since 1987 by the AMA Council on Scientific affairs and the ACA Council on Diagnostic Imaging, since 1988 by the Congress of Neuro-Surgeons, and since 1990 by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

The screening at Ecopolitan (the ONLY MODERN DITI currently available in the Twin Cities that is interpreted by a Board-Certified Radiologist) includes a full thermographic imaging examination and color images, interpretation of the non-breast tissue findings by a Certified Thermographer, and medical interpretation by a board-certified medical radiologist.

The new Thermographer is Valerie Zumbusch. Her number for technical questions is (612) 741-3954 and her email address is vzumbusc at amfam.com.

To schedule, call Joe (of Ecopolitan and of the FDH Foundation) at 612-870-2974. More information on radiation free breast screening.
