TORONTO 1 -- Channel 15, October 19, 2004 Dr.Sushma Shah, Naturopathic Doctor, talked about the negative effects aerosols can have on the immune system and on young children.
Aerosols and air freshners contain tiny particulates which when sprayed in the air can irritate the breathing passages and cause respiratory infections in adults and young children. Young infants are particularly more susceptible because the functioning of their lungs is not fully developed.
Studies with mice have also shown that some of these aerosols also contain harmful and toxic substances that can be cancer causing / carcinogenic. They also contain constituents that can be allergenic to our breathing pathways, and down the road, chronic exposure to these aerosols and air fresheners can cause our immune system to weaken leaving us more susceptible to diseases and infections.
If you would like to learn more about the effects aerosols or air fresheners can have on our children or if you are concerned that they may be the cause of their allergies or chronic ear infections, give us a call at (416) 913 4325 (HEAL) to talk to our naturopathic doctor or send us an email at: info@naturesintentionsnaturopathy.com

TORONTO NOW MAGAZINE, October 18, 2007, Vol. 27 No. 7 -- Dr. Sushma Shah, Naturopathic Doctor, talked about gut reaction to probiotics.
"Normally, our intestinal tract has up to 3 pounds of probiotics or good bacteria. Whenever you take antibiotics or strong drugs, they get killed off. This can affect digestion and absorption of nutrients. These bacteria produce by-products that are natural antibiotics and keep yeast and fungi at bay.
Probiotics make short-chain fatty acids, one of which, butyrate, has been linked to prevention or reduction of colon cancer. Probiotics detox toxins and remove pro-carcinogens, so for colon cancer they are they are extremely important. When buying them, look carefully at the brand and look for research done on it. Some brands of probiotics are really dead or contain only small amounts of bacteria."

TORONTO NOW MAGAZINE, April 26, 2007, Vol. 26 No. 34 -- Dr. Sushma Shah, Naturopathic Doctor, talked about the use of protein powders for body building.
"If you put too much protein into the body, you have to eliminate it, and this is hard on the kidneys. So I don't like a bodybuilding diet. As well, some of the protein [powders] may be processed with products like whey and soy, which some people don't tolerate well and can increase their allergenic potential. This can work against the body and cause inflammation."

TORONTO NOW MAGAZINE, July 13, 2006, Vol. 25 No. 46 -- Dr. Sushma Shah, Naturopathic Doctor, talked about the parasites and gastrointestinal problems.
"I find that parasites are a very common problem, not necessarily the ones you might expect like worms but things like yeast, Blastocystis homonis and Entamoeba dispar, common microscopic parasitic organisms found around the world. These can cause gastrointestinal problems. The diagnosis is done by sending three stool samples to a lab in the U.S. Once diagnosed, the treatment might involve taking black walnut, bearberry , pau d'arco and acidophilus (if the person has taken antibiotics) and decreasing sugar and refined foods . I know there are people who say parasites are harmless, but I've seen that they can cause many problems."

New Predictive CardioGenomic™ Profile Test, PRWEB -- August 12, 2006
Natures Intentions Naturopathic Clinic offers new predictive genomic test -- provides basis for customized treatments designed to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) August 12, 2006 -- Natures Intentions Naturopathic Clinic is pleased to announce the latest clinical tool in the new era of genomics-based, personalized health care. Our medical practice is now offering the CardioGenomic™ Profile, developed by Genovations,™ to identify patients who may be more genetically susceptible to developing heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular-related health problems.
Using a single blood or mouth rinse sample, this advanced test evaluates genetic variations, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that help reveal how each person’s body is genetically “wired” to break down and clear dietary fats, metabolize cholesterol, activate blood clots, and regulate blood pressure. The SNPs do not cause cardiovascular disease by themselves, but indicate the potential for increased risk when they interact with environmental, dietary, and lifestyle factors. By modifying these factors, an individual may potentially reduce his or her cardiovascular risk significantly.
For example, the test can identify individuals who may have higher risk of developing a blood clot while taking birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. In addition, the test may help identify those more likely to develop high cholesterol in response to dietary fat, or high blood pressure in response to high salt intake. It also evaluates genetic markers linked to chronic inflammation, which is increasingly recognized by health experts as a major contributor to cardiovascular disease.
“This new test will allow patients to uncover potential ‘vulnerable’ spots in their genetic blueprint, giving them the unprecedented opportunity to adopt a more effective, personalized prevention program against cardiovascular disease before it has a chance to develop,” explains Patrick Hanaway, M.D., Medical Director of Genovations.™
According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of mortality in the U.S., causing four out of every ten deaths. About 62 million Americans are estimated to have some form of cardiovascular disease.
Individuals with a personal or family history of high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, chronic obesity, or blood clots (thromboses), are primary candidates for the new test. And because nearly 50% of all heart attacks strike people with normal cholesterol levels, even seemingly healthy individuals can also benefit from the test, by using the results to reduce “hidden” cardiovascular risks they may not be aware of.
If you want to learn more about the new CardioGenomic™ Profile and how it can provide the basis for more effective, personalized health care to prevent cardiovascular disease, call Natures Intentions Naturopathic Clinic for more information.
