Stephen Colbert takes on health- thank you thank you

In the last week or so, Mr. Stephen Colbert has tackled challenging health topics twice, much to my pleasure. A week ago in THE WORD segment, he raised the idea that the youth of today could survive without insurance by become an educated consumer of alternative health and partaking in preventative strategies such as yoga and nutrition. He fell a little short on his punchline but managed to speak somewhat rationally about the probability that health insurance/hospital care are part of a flawed system. I agree Mr. Colbert. Would you like to have me on your show discussing all the interesting misperceptions regarding health care we manipulate for the benefit of the economy?

Last night, in keeping with his love of challenging material Dr. Colbert remarked on the United States flogging the motto "innocent until proven cancerous" with its consistent use of BGH in the dairy industry. Even in Canada we may thinkg that there are no hormones in our milk, but in fact any cow that is under stress produces more hormones. Cows are supposed to have horns so they can hear and find their way, but with modern day farming practices we removed these. This causes more stress in the cow, which means that the contents of our milk have more hormones in them.

We already know that the world is increasingly estrogenic from the alarming rate of early puberty in children, hormone related conditions such as fibroids, endometiosis, candida and cancers such as breast, ovarian and prostate. The exposure to and breakdown of pesticides, plastics, thalates, birth control pill, Hormone Replacement therapy and hormones used in our meat and dairy industry have created an estrogenic world. We have tripled consumption of other xenoestrogens such as coffee, chocolate, alcohol and contributed to their estrogenicity with heavy pesticide use. We have nearly ruined Soy and Canola with pesticides and GMOs. Soy now has the opposite effect of what it had 20 years ago in the body due to the farming practices we've used. Currently the only safely consumable soy is small organic farmed soya and its products due to the estrogenic strength of the pesticides used on conventional soy. We have also weakened our ability to combat the effects of carcinogenic estrogens with the limitation of phytoestrogens found in vegetarian foods. We need to eat more sprouts, organic soy, flax seeds, whole grains and vegetables so that our estrogen receptors can be attached to weak estrogens such as estrone and estriol as opposed to E2 or estradiol.
