Dear Readers,
Greetings!
Hello. Welcome to this edition of the Optimum Health Report. I have included in this issue a very nice little piece on "The Rules for Being Human." Please take a look at it. It has a viewpoint that I find very enlightening. I hope you are enjoying spring. Have a great week. - D.I. Minkoff, MD
The Rules for Being Human
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in an informal school called Life. Each day in this school, you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid. 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error. Experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. You can then go on to the next lesson. - D.I. Minkoff, MD read more ...»
It's the Thickness Of Your Blood That Will Do You In
"In any complex fluid - whether it's blood, ketchup,
or paint - the thinner it is, the less work it takes to
pump it. Therefore, the thinner your blood, the easier it
is for your heart to pump it around your body, the less
the arteries will have to stretch, and the less injury the
arteries will sustain." - Kenneth R. Kensey, MD read

What Is A CDSA? Why Would My Doctor Want Me To Have One?
CDSA stands for Complete Stool and Digestive Analysis. Here's why your doctor would want you to have one. Do you have bacteria in your colon that produce an enzyme that could cause you to get breast cancer? Do you have a "leaky gut" that is the reason for your allergies, brain fog, arthritis, fibromyalgia, or lupus? Do you have an overgrowth of yeast that is causing fatigue, anxiety, or depression? Good nutrition and digestion are necessary for optimum health. - D.I. Minkoff, MD read

For Men and Women Only: Will estrogen give you cancer?
When your estrogen gets metabolized (broken down), it gets turned into various substances. Among them are two major players of interest. The "good guy/gal" is
2-Methoxyestradiol, "the protective estrogen". The "bad guy/gal" is
4-Hydroxyestrogen. It is a potent carcinogen. According to Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., environmental toxins such as dioxin and DDT stimulate the production of the carcinogenic 4-Hydroxyestrogen. Its derivatives react with DNA and may initiate breast, ovarian, uterine and prostate cancer. Some "bodies" produce more of the "bad guy" than is necessary. - by Sue Minkoff R.N, BSN read the rest... »
Vitamin D's Role in Health
For hundreds of millions of years the main nurturing catalyst for life on earth has been sunshine. It is the light energy from sunshine, through photosynthesis, that enables the plant to transform earth minerals into a living organism. We know that phytoplankton (sea algae) have been creating energy from sunlight for at least 500 million years - D.I. Minkoff, MD learn
