Light Therapy - Biophotonics (Part 1) - Yvonne Hedeker 5/5/17
Late Night Health Radio
06/13/17 • 13 min
Biophotonics or light therapy is one of the most promising new technologies in health and wellness. It’s not surprising when you think about it. Light is the source of all life. Just like plants we need the right kinds of light for optimal health and well-being.
You can have the best diet and latest supplements, the best water, the best exercise program, the best medical care, the best attitude and there is still something missing. Its light! The right frequencies of light are an essential nutrient. Our brains, our eyes, our bodies need it....and most of us are deficient. We live indoors, unnaturally, under fluorescent and other lights that are not good for us.
Interestingly enough, this is what Einstein won the Nobel Prize for in 1921. His explanation of the photo-electric effect, or how subatomic particles of light, called photons interact with all matter, including living organisms. In Germany, Fritz Popp, a modern day biophysicist, explains that each second, some 100,000 chemical reactions occur in a given cell with light acting as the communicator that makes the reactions happen at the right moment and in the right place.
The ancients worshipped the sun, realizing its life giving and sustaining power. Today, science is rediscovering and proving what ancient cultures had already observed, light stimulates cellular and molecular activity. Biophotonics or light therapy is being used with newborns to reverse bilirubin, by the military to heal wounds and traumatic brain injury, by NASA to help astronauts sleep and stay healthy in zero gravity, by cancer hospitals to reverse the detrimental effects of chemo and radiation, by spas to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, erasing fine lines and wrinkles. Light therapy is used to regrow hair, alleviate acne and rosacea, relieve pain, reduce inflammation and regenerate tissue with professional athletes.
At Light Health Research, we are dedicated to bringing you the most researched, safest and beneficial frequencies of light. We should all be able to take advantage of this wonderful technology. Imagine that you can recharge our body like a battery and reboot our brain whenever you want. The DreamSpa personal light system lets you do just that. It’s a comprehensive solution to the effects of stress and the wear and tear of aging. Increase energy, uplift mood, improve sleep, enhance mental clarity and experience profound stress relief with professional light therapy for home use. Look and feel your best. Watch the years disappear. Convenient, portable, easy to use for a fraction of the cost. Benefits are progressive and each session feels like a deeply restful night of sleep – emerge relaxed, refreshed and re-energized!

Getting Past the Medical Gatekeeper (Part 1)- Eric T. Rosenthal 4/28/17
Late Night Health Radio
06/04/17 • 13 min
Getting past The Medical Gatekeeper, I am Eric Rosenthal, I’m a medical journalist and this is my personal story about an access my to care issue. I was forced to receive treatment in an emergency room because a medical office wouldn’t return repeated calls for an appointment. Much of this has to do with accountability, with fingers often being pointed in various directions by various employees, but the ultimate responsibility for all office procedures resides with the physician-owners of the practice.
I’ve been a lifelong runner and began having trouble breathing while exercising last fall. My internist diagnosed late-onset asthma, and prescribed a rescue inhaler.
However a few weeks later I began having difficulty breathing at night and developed a very bad persistent cough. After three nights of no sleep my condition grew worse and the day after Christmas I ended up in the emergency room of a suburban-Philadelphia teaching hospital, where I was diagnosed with bronchitis, and prescribed a course of oral prednisone as well as a steroidal inhaler in addition to my rescue version.
I continued seeing my internist, who made some changes in my inhaler dosage but my mid-March I was once again having trouble breathing and my cough returned causing my wife to rush me once more to the emergency room in the middle of the night. I was again diagnosed with bronchitis and prescribed a course of oral prednisone and antibiotics.
Feeling that I needed more specialized expertise I asked my internist’s office to recommend a pulmonologist and received the phone number of a 10-person practice in the same hospital with the name of a specific physician.
Knowing that I had two upcoming out-of-town conferences, I had a few dates in mind but didn’t mind waiting until I returned a week later as long as I knew that I had a scheduled appointment.
I called the pulmonology office and got a recorded message saying that I’d be called back. After several hours I called again, and then again, and again. I checked for alternative phone numbers on line and finally reached out to another office in a different suburb, where the receptionist informed me that she’d call my local office and someone would get back to me.
No one did and the next morning before boarding a plane for Miami I kept getting the same voice recording and then called my internist’s office and requested they try to get through. I was told that there seemed be a chronic problem contacting the pulmonology practice, which persisted when they tried calling without success.
Then 22 hours after my first phone call, while I was inflight, the pulmonology office finally called my wife and said that the physician I had requested wouldn’t be available for more than 2 months. My wife said, fine, please schedule another of the 10 pulmonologists and the receptionist said she’d have to call back with their availability, but never followed through.
The next day my wife had to physically visit the office and demand an appointment be scheduled before I had to end up in the ER a third time for care.
A week later I met my new doctor, who admitted that his practice had scheduling problems, but asked that we just move on with the exam. He adjusted my inhaler dosage, which has so far proven effective, and gave me his cell phone number for future emergencies.
I was now in the system, but wondered whether the practice would fix its problem so future patients wouldn’t find themselves in the no-access situation I had experienced.

Healing The Planet One Piece of Litter At A Time (Part 2) - SusieQ Wood 1/27/17
Late Night Health Radio
03/11/17 • 6 min
Global TRASHformation: How to Save the Planet, One Piece of Litter at a Time
To most there may be little regard for what happens to the stuff we use once we’re finished using it, whether it’s a disposable plate, fork, bottle, straw, wrapper or cigarette butt. To some it seems that if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind and of no further consequence. The reality is far from that. There are great consequences to one-use items.
Approximately 12.5 million tons of trash enter the oceans from land each year. The trash ends up in one of five gyres and continues to collect, circling around and around within the currents.
SusieQ Wood is committed to changing that statistic. She does this by picking up one piece of litter at a time and inspiring others to do the same. It’s part of her Global TRASHformation movement, consciously started in 2012, with the picking up of rusty materials in the streets and alleyways. The seeds for this movement came from her childhood where her father introduced the idea “leave the place in better shape than we found it.” During summer camping trips, she and her siblings had the responsibility of picking up all litter in the campground area before leaving.
In 2012, a few months into her rusted material collection, her art mentor asked that she paint something as social commentary. “I combined my love of landscapes with my new love of rusty, discarded bottle caps and created a mixed media work called “BottleCapius Litterous”, SusieQ explains. “The background is an oil painting of a sunrise and I used the rusted metal bottle caps and wire retrieved from the local alleyways and parking lots to create an image of a large, sprawling tree.”
SusieQ has made it her mission to pick up litter every day and typically will comb the area of beach by her condo. She realizes that with only her doing “the work” the impact can go only so far. She has partnered with local nonprofits to organize group projects and gives talks on ocean conservancy and the fact that self-care includes taking care of the home upon which we walk. She believes it starts with self-love.
Her collaborative projects involve collecting, cleaning and sorting of small littered objects and organizing them into upcycled art projects with group participation encouraged. One of her recent projects, in collaboration with local businesses and the nonprofit Trash-to-Treasure, was upcycling an abandoned 15-foot Cuban refugee boat beached in Fort Lauderdale. Called “All Hands on Deck”, the project involved about 200 people coming together to cover the boat’s hull with thousands of pieces of colorful plastic beach litter. That project launched her vision to de-litter worldwide, spreading the movement through media and action.
SusieQ is now working on ideas incorporating all art forms (dance, music, fine art, film) as a platform to identify, create and celebrate litter-free environments. She encourages individuals to visit her website, take the Global TRASHformation pledge and share ideas. “It’s all about working from the inside out and the ground up.” Every litter bit matters so make it a habit to pick up One Piece of Litter a day.

Homeopathic Remedies - Theresa Dale, Phd 1/20/17
Late Night Health Radio
03/01/17 • 16 min
Homeopathic remedies are centuries old effective tools to keep the body healthy and to fight disease. They are the first line of defense in keeping people healthy without harmful side effects.
The history of modern homeopathic medicine begins with a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. But the homeopathic concept is thousands of years old, based on the law of similars. Hippocrates described this principle. Many cultures including Native Americans, Chinese, Greeks, Mayans and Asians used this law to provide and maintain health. Hahnemann was the first to organize the law of similars into a methodical medical science.
Governments around the world including the United States recognize modern homeopathy as a medical science. Other countries that recognize homeopathy include India, South Africa, Great Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany and many others. Like the pharmaceutical industry, there is an encyclopedia of homeopathic medicines indicating how to make them and what they treat. Backed by continuing scientific research, the pharmacopoeia of homeopathic medicines is regularly updated.
The popularity of homeopathy in America began in the early 1800s. In Europe, royalty and common folk both enjoyed the benefits of this discipline. In the twenty first century, the use of homeopathic and natural supplements continues. Today, millions of people worldwide use homeopathic treatments to maintain proper health.
In recent years, the traditional medical establishment continues to battle homeopathic healthcare providers.
Late Night Health covers a variety of homeopathic issues with Theresa Dale, Ph.D., CCN. From health freedom and the right to choose healthcare alternatives, to researching a variety of health issues, Dr. Dale brings a new and fresh approach regarding homeopathy to consumers.
Dr. Dale has been involved in developing a wide range of products to build the immune system and overall health. She is an internationally recognized speaker and researcher. Talking with Mark Alyn, Dr. Dale explains the ins and outs of homeopathic healing for people of all ages.

How To Fight Viruses (Part 2) - Donna Parker 11/25/16
Late Night Health Radio
01/10/17 • 6 min
It’s 10am and someone at school is celebrating a birthday. Most likely the kids are being served cupcakes or sweet snacks. They get all sugared up and then crash. And that crash can be really bad. Well, I’m “that” mom that doesn’t like this well honored practice. If there is a function at school, I will bring more healthy alternatives. Most of the time what I bring is a big hit and, rarely, it’s a big flop. More than once my son has been known to say, “Mom, can’t you just cook normal?” In reality, give kids healthy options and they will joyfully gobble them up.
As I kid, I did cook normally, using lots of sugar and refined flours. Looking back, this was my way of keeping a steady stream of carbs and sugar in my life. I was, and am, a sugar sensitive person. That means I can’t eat just one cookie, my brain goes a little wacky and insists that I eat 8 more to satisfy my craving. Believe it or not, this is a very common issue. If you can’t eat just 1 sugary or carb filled snack without craving more, then you may be sugar sensitive as well. My favorite book on this topic is “Potatoes not Prozac” by Dr. Kathleen DesMaisons. I highly recommend it for some great tips on how to stop the sugar craving cycle.
My basic advice to all my patients is to eat whole foods, drink lots of clean water, and eat little to no grains. Not only will this give you lots of great energy, it will also help you maintain a healthy weight. Your plate should be mostly seasonal veggies, and a small portion of clean protein. Your brain and body need healthy fat so don’t buy low-fat processed foods such as skim milk or low-fat cheese. Go for the whole fat, organic, raw if possible, dairy. Eggs are a great source of protein, so enjoy them often. Fruits are fine in moderation as they are high in fructose, which is really just sugar as far as your body is concerned. Remember to eat fruits and veggies that are in season. You don’t want to be eating strawberries in December and acorn squash in June. For one thing, they won’t be very tasty.
The simple and easy way to start is by making a plan. Take time each week to plan out from 1 to all your meals and shop for those meals. When you arrive home tired and famished, you’ll be happy that you have a plan and a stocked fridge. I suggest planning simple meals that take less than 30 minutes to cook. For example, baked chicken breast served with roasted cauliflower and green beans can be done in the oven altogether. Try some whole fat organic yogurt with nuts and fresh fruit for dessert. Now that’s a meal even a kid would love. Start simple and make it easy for yourself. Before you know it you’ll be eating healthy and feeling great.

GMO Labeling: Going to the Dark Side (Part 1) - Karen Howard 8/26/16
Late Night Health Radio
11/10/16 • 16 min
The GMO Labeling Act legislation is now federal law and according to Karen Howard, CEO and Executive Director, Organic & Natural Health Association, it is not legislation that is consumer friendly or helpful. Relying on QR code technology, consumers can scan products to see if they are non-GMO or GMO. The problem is that QR codes are cumbersome and difficult to use. When a mom is shopping at a local store, kids in the cart and dinner not bought, who has time to view information with a QR code. It would be much easier to have printed labels stating the ingredients of food products. Congress has let the American people down with this new law.
The idea of each state having different standards for GMO label was thought to protect consumers from the “confusion” and “increased costs” of a “patchwork quilt” of state legislation created at the hands of each state legislature. In reality, state legislation was collaboratively crafted to harmonize requirements across state lines while honoring each state’s power to enforce.
Howard says tells Late Night Health listeners, all that’s been accomplished is passage of a poorly written subversion of states’ rights in exchange for mandating companies to use a “handy dandy QR code” consumers can scan with a smart phone to determine if the products in their grocery carts contain GMO ingredients.
Howard blasted the legislation saying if the bill is “signed into law as is expected, consumers won’t have a clue what the intention of USDA or the FDA is, what the definition of genetically engineered means, or what products contain genetically engineered ingredients given the lack of transparency associated with the likely use of foolish QR codes on labels."
Mark Alyn, host of Late Night Health, will get to the bottom of QR code GMO labeling debacle with Karen Howard, CEO and Executive Director, Organic & Natural Health Association, and find out from a consumer point of view, why this is a bad deal.

If you’re over 45, you’re probably not sleeping as well as you once did. You may have even grown accustomed to the brain fog that muddles your thinking. You’re not the only one feeling drowsy. The CDC says more than a third of American adults are sleep deprived on a regular basis. The answer may be combining tried-and-true sleep basics with new sleep technology. “Sleeping fewer than six hours on a regular basis is a health concern,” comments neurologist Dan Cohen, MD, who has dedicated his career to helping people sleep better.
“Decades of research, involving millions of people, show that chronic sleep deprivation is associated with increased risks of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and dementia.” Our sleep cycles get messed up as we age Delta, or slow wave sleep stage, is associated with deep, restorative sleep. Delta sleep occurs mainly in the first half of the night, enabling you to sleep the rest of the night. “Delta sleep is more important than the other sleep stages of sleep regarding physical health. It is when the body secretes human growth hormone. Delta sleep enables the body and brain to recover from daytime activities, relieves stress and can have a dramatic impact on overall health,” explains Cohen. “It is also associated with performing better on memory tasks the next day.”
Dr. Cohen joins Mark Alyn to talk about better sleep on this episode of Late Night Health.
