As the wife and office manager of a busy Cardiologist, Sunita Pandit has seen the Medical Industry from the inside, dealing with patients, insurance companies and other doctors. But it was her role as caregiver to an elderly mother and an adult son with Cerebral Palsy, that opened her eyes to the limitations of the traditional medical system, and began her journey into holistic medicine. Today, both her mother and son are prescription drug free and healthy, thanks to her understanding of nutrition and many other aspects of integrated medicine. She now shares her wisdom and interviews guests on her weekly podcast, Mrs Cardiology, on TalkShoe Radio. In this cast, she discusses some of the lessons learned on the journey, and explains the diagnostic tool that she uses to give a snapshot view of your oxidation level -- what she calls a nutritional lie detector. This is a fascinating dicussion with a woman who does it all! Websites mentioned in this cast: Mrs Cardiology http://www.positivelypittsburghlivemag

Watch a podcast with Dr. Courtney below. Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people ever the age of 40. It is estimated that 22 million Americans have them and those numbers will escalate to at least 30 million by the year 2020. Worldwide there are more cases of cataracts than there are of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy combined. So, what are cataracts and what can you do about them? Aging Takes its toll on vision The lens of the eye works very similar to the way that the lens of a camera works. Light passes through the lens and focuses the light onto the retina that is found in the back of the eye. Images are usually clear and sharp when the eye is working optimally, which it usually does for many years without any problems. The lens itself is made of mostly water and protein. As we age, some of that protein may begin clumping together and start to cloud a small area of the lens, which is known as a cataract. Over time, it begins to grow larger and cloud m

The Difference between Mercury Free and Mercury Safe Dentistry Millions of people have at least one silver or dark amalgam filling in their mouth. Half of this filling is made of mercury, a highly toxic metal that releases harmful vapor, especially when heated. Consuming hot or acidic food and drink, tooth brushing, and teeth grinding all increase the amount of mercury vaporization and exposure. Drilling out a mercury filling without proper care creates by far the most heat and releases the greatest concentrations of mercury vapor, resulting in the highest exposure to this toxin during the removal procedure. The released mercury then is absorbed through the lungs where it enters the bloodstream and can cross the blood-brain barrier or into a placenta. Because mercury chemically bonds with everything, it is not easy to eliminate. Mercury, if retained in the body, can wreak havoc on cells and have adverse effects on the enzymatic process. There are no recognized biological benefits to mercury. Health-c

The Plant Based Nation Tour hits Pittsburgh Friday night on the Southside as Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, and his son Nelson Campbell, Director of Forks Over Knives, bring their new movie to town for a screening. In this exclusive interview, he says the film is about 95% done -- this is a prerelease version. It documents what happened when Dr. Campbell was invited to the Kentucky state legislature to present the science of plant-based eating. In this interview, he lists the five major industries that are based on fundamentally flawed science, and why this revolution in medicine is even more important than the fight 150 years ago to get doctors to wash their hands before surgery.
