East Bay Water has cancer causing contaminants at higher levels than usual. There are many reports in newspapers and television that you can read to verify this.
Now this is not anything new really. East Bay Water has had cancer causing contaminants in it for years. Although the EPA has set guidelines for the amount of these contaminants that are allowable, it is best to avoid them completely. You would agree with this, wouldn’t you?
It reminds me of a patient I had many years ago. His profession was that of a “fire-eater.” He used to light torches on fire and swallow them. He would also blow fire from his mouth. He would use a combination of kerosene and other chemicals to create the flames. Why did he come in for help? He had chronic digestive problems.
Now he deliberately exposed himself to large amounts of chemical that are not to be consumed. This was to make a living. At the same time, actually consuming ANY of those is not a good idea.
Susan B. Koemen Donation Version of System
So if you can consume even less contaminants than the EPA says is acceptible that is preferable. Multipure filtration systems give you that option. Multipure filtration systems are independently tested and proven to remove 99.9% of a long list of toxins. No other system in its class can legitimately claim this.
I highly recommend, as a doctor and preventative medicine oriented practitioner, that you get and use the Multipure filtration system that suits your situation best. Th
is recommendation has been one of the cornerstones of my practice and the advice at The Redwood Clinic for 30 years.
We have numerous other articles on this website and on our youtube channel about this as well. Take the time now to go online and order your system. Call us at 510-849-1176 to ask any questions you may have about the system you may need. We are here to support your health and vitality in whatever way we can.

A new study reveals that chemicals found in cleaning materials, textiles, plastics, paper and some personal-care products can trigger breast cancer.
According to the senior author of the study, William Baldwin, an assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso, the chemical called 4-nonylphenol binds to estrogen receptors in breast tissue which increases the risk for breast cancer.
Part of the problem is that the chemical, which mimics estrogen, may last longer in the body than natural estrogen. That is when breast cancer is caused by estrogen mimicers.
Breast Cancer Estrogen Mimicers
How the Study was Conducted
Baldwin and his team compared the effects of giving differing doses of the chemical, 4-nonylphenol and estrogen to mice. When they followed mice genetically engineered to readily develop breast cancer over 32 weeks, many of those given 4-NP developed breast cancer while those given equivalent doses of estrogen did not.
Baldwin and other experts estimate that established risk factors such as aging, early onset of periods, late menopause, delayed childbearing and genetics explain only about 25 percent to 50 percent of breast cancers, and that environmental exposure plays a big role.
We can now test for this environmental toxin through a test called Toxic Element Core from Genova Diagnostics.
The good news is you can modify and reduce this toxic chemical. I recommend consulting us as we are experts in functional medicine. We have the training and knowledge to help one reduce this environmental toxin.
Here’s the bottom line. Many chemicals in the environment are harmful for your body. Many of them look like hormones that perform important jobs in your body, and when they enter the body they go to the place in the body that they can match up to. This matching up is like the effects of a hormone on the organ. However, often that chemical stays matched up longer than the normal hormone might. Thus, there is too much hormone effect caused and thus cell proliferation can occur.
Cancer is cell proliferation that has gone out of control.
If you think that this might be going on for you, this is a great time to call us at 510-849-1176 to investigate further.

Water is essential for life. Safe water is essential to promote health. Contaminated water can damage health in so many ways. Thus, it is important to make sure that the water you drink is not contaminated. Safe water filtration is the key. No matter where you live. And now more than ever.
I know, you are saying that you have a water filter. I applaud you for making that decision. But is your water filter actually filtering out everything it should, or is the filtering just cosmetic? Quite likely it is failing, because most do not pass muster with NSF standards. In fact, Multipure is the only one that passes for a combination of more than 8 problem ingredients put together. And your water might have all 8 (or more) at once.
Do you live in a place that ever has major national disasters? Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes? A safe water source is vital for emergencies. We even have those at multipure (http://www.multipureusa.com/redwoodclinic) Multipure Independent Distributor ID: 432075
Winter is the WATER ELEMENT season in Chinese Medicine. So let’s look more in-depth into how to get your water really clean to promote excellent health.
Susan B. Koemen Donation Version of System
As you know, The Redwood Clinic has promoted the sale and use of Multipure filtration systems for more than 25 years. Because we believe they are doing what all filtration systems should do, and they are backed up by independent laboratory testing of contamination removal.
Are you a Safe Water Filtration GEEK? Here are the DETAILS!!
Multipure Drinking Water Systems utilize Multipure’s innovative and proprietary Solid Carbon Block-based filter. This filter employs multiple components and materials to reduce the presence of a wide variety of contaminants in water.
Mechanical Filtration: The water passes through a pre-filter that traps dirt, sand, and particles that affect the taste and overall appearance of the water. After passing through the pre-filter, the water then passes through the Solid Carbon Block, where particles as small as 0.5 microns are physically trapped by the filter. Asbestos, cysts, and particulates are reduced through mechanical filtration at the sub-micron level.
Electrokinetic Adsorption: The pre-filter acquires a positive molecular charge as water passes through it. Since most contaminants exhibit a negative charge in water, the filter fibers electrokinetically attract these negatively-charged particles onto the positively-charged filter surface. Generally, these particles are too small to be trapped by mechanical filtration.
Physiochemical Adsorption: The carbon block filter is a blend of selected activated carbons and other media that reduce aesthetic contaminants and health-related contaminants by adsorbing particles to its surface. Because the carbon block is densely compacted, it provides a longer contact time with the water, and thus, better performance than many other filtration technologies.
Nationally recognized standards established for the drinking water treatment industry confirm that the most effective systems for the removal of both aesthetic and harmful contaminants are those that utilize Solid Carbon Block filters. Multipure is the original developer of Solid Carbon Block technology and has been the leader and innovator in the water treatment industry since 1970. Multipure, and its remarkable Solid Carbon Block filter, is synonymous with superior quality and exceptional innovation. With a Multipure Drinking Water System, you are guaranteed the best.
Multipure Independent Distributor ID: 432075
Adsorption vs. Absorption
Multipure filtration utilizes a process called adsorption. Adsorption differs from the more commonly known absorption; adsorption refers to the transfer of the particles of a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid onto a surface, while absorption refers to the incorporation of a solid, liquid or gas into another solid, liquid, or gas.
The Multipure filter uses adsorption to transfer contaminants onto the filter’s surface and remove it from the water stream. The water itself is temporarily absorbed by the filter material (much like a sponge absorbing water), but the contaminants are adsorbed to the filter surface, creating a layer on the surface as it is removed from the water stream.

What Sets Multipure Apart
Although most companies that sell drinking water systems make devices that can remove chlorine from water, very few of those companies offer drinking water treatment systems that are NSF certified to reduce contaminants under both NSF/ANSI Standard No. 42 (Aesthetics) and NSF/ANSI Standard No. 53 (Health Effects). Multipure is one of the few companies whose products are NSF certified to reduce such a wide array of drinking water contaminants, including such classes as disinfection byproducts or gasoline additives – contaminants that can get into water sources through pollution or leaks.
Multipure is the industry leader because it is a pioneer in drinking water treatment, and it possesses the integrity and credibility due to intensive internal quality assurance confirmed by the rigorous scrutiny of NSF Certification.
Foods and nutrition are great topics for the holiday gatherings.
A recent gathering of HAART employees and directors of the board (Dr. Jay is on the board of directors of HAART) was such an opportunity. Savyon, my eldest daughter, was sitting at a table of younger professional women. Among the topics that came up was different types of diets and eating plans — Paleo, vegan, etc.
One person in the conversation, Savannah, is the newest board member. She mentioned that she was brought up with the simple concept by her mother of eating different color foods at each meal. Do that in a consistent fashion as a child and you will grow up getting at least some basic nutrition.
Others talked about paleo diets related to our “caveman” genetic backgrounds.
Kaiser sends out an email newsletter with the following article today:
Why the colors? Well, nature produces different colors to attract different animals. Different colors of veggies and fruits contain different kinds of phytonutrients and different types of antioxidants. And antioxidants are substances we need in our bodies to balance out the oxidation reactions that are, for one thing, the basis for our energy production system. Krebs cycle, citric acid cycle, mitochonria, etc. etc. You know what I’m talking about.
So, while the composition of these colored foods was less well studied 30, 40, 50 years ago, we have a clearer idea of the biochemical reason why eating colored vegetables and fruits may be important.
If you can’t get enough of these servings of food in your diet you can get a rough substitute by taking the right supplements. One I recommend is Phytonutrients by Metagenics. You can order them online here.
In 2016–even after many decades of research–the concept of detoxification is still considered to be nonscientific in many medical circles. Why this is the case is a bit of a mystery and may be the result of some basic misunderstandings about the word. In fact, a body of credible research has been conducted on the environmental and health impacts of toxins, and much recent study has been dedicated to the issue of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). With the development of new analytical tools, we have entered a new era in which it is now possible to study the more subtle effects–cellular toxicology, genomic toxicology–these molecules can have on the human body.
One thing that is undeniable is that toxins are stored in the fat cells of the body. If we don’t clean those toxins out we will have a degeneration of our health. Patients I have worked with have had incredible turn-arounds of their health simply by doing our science-based, effective detoxification processes. This is not just the go to the health food store and get herbs to purge the bowel. Sorry, that just doesn’t cut it now that we know what really is needed functionally.
Pain is worsened by a toxic body.
Explosive increase in chemicals in the environment
Medication use is often due to toxins in the body that cause symptoms that the drugs are prescribed to cover up. When the medication “eliminates” one thing they often produce other symptoms. Another drug is prescribed to “address” that complaint. And so on. Until people are taking a handful of drugs.
All when maybe a detoxification process that got rid of the poisons in your body was all that was needed in the first place.
Call us to set up your appointment to start your detox process now. Autumn is a time when nature gets rid of what it doesn’t need so it can regenerate and grow. What in your life is your reason to not do this detoxification process here at The Redwood Clinic?
Write down the top three obstacles or blockages you have to taking action on detoxification. Then rank each one on a scale of 1 to 10 of difficulty to overcome. Ten is impossible. Like trying by yourself to get your leg out from under a 1 ton boulder trapping it. One is a minor obstacle, like you have to go out and walk your dog right now, but could do it in 10 minutes.
So, again, write down your 3 biggest obstacles to calling us now to make an appointment to clean out your body gently and effectively. Then, rank them according to how hard the obstacle is. Then figure out whether all three are really insurmountable.
Now Call for Your Appointment. Tell us you want to do our detoxification program. Regain your health and your natural abilities to heal and lose the weight that may be the cause of your chronic pain.
And, watch this video by one of the Fathers of Functional Medicine, Jeffrey Bland, PhD. Then take action and call us at 510-849-1176.

Male Infertility Female Infertility Treatment in Couples
Inability to conceive a child is a problem facing many couples. When this difficulty arises, the relationships suffer in many many ways. There is also the pressure from family members, parents of the couple – “When are you going to give me grandchildren?” I hear this from couples I work with all the time. While the couples themselves may not be wanting children yet, the pressure from relatives can be relentless. That external demand can take it’s emotional toll.
Stress responses that result cause hormone imbalances in and of themselves. Then there is the influence of environmental toxicants that are hormone mimickers and hormone disruptors. Examples of these and what they can do in the female hormone cycle are discussed in depth in my YouTube videos on the female hormone cycle.
The Facts
Up to 15 percent of couples are infertile. This means they aren’t able to conceive a child even though they’ve had frequent, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or longer. In up to half of these couples, male infertility plays a role.
Male Infertility Treatment
Some of the conditions that contribute to infertility in men are decreased libido, lack of energy, difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection, premature ejaculation, and low sperm count, poor sperm motility, among others. There are many causes of these conditions. Stress, environmental factors, nutritional insufficiencies, etc.
In Chinese medicine, the primary organ responsible for maintaining reproduction capabilities is the kidney; it also stores essence, which is the basis for sperm production. Common syndrome patterns that can give rise to infertility include insufficient kidney yang, kidney yin deficiency of Qi and blood, and constrained liver qi, which causes blood stasis.
From a functional medicine perspective, hormone imbalances, stress-induced drops in hormones, chemical toxicity, hormone mimickers from plastics, overactive sexual activity, prostate conditions, and many other conditions can contribute to the male contribution to infertility.
In this clinic we address all of these factors with acupuncture, NRCT, Chinese herbal formulas, homeopathic remedies, and other nutraceutical supplementation as well as whole foods.
With respect to Chinese herbs, certain formulas have the following explanation:
Therapeutic Actions
Promotes male fertility
Useful for impotence, poor sperm count, and poor sperm motility
Can also be used for yang deficiency individuals as a tonic
Chinese Therapeutic Effects
Warms kidney yang
Relaxes the shen
Tonifies the Qi and blood

Female Infertility Treatment
Infertility in women can be due to hormone imbalances that can only be figured out clearly by a comprehensive female hormone panel which we are uniquely qualified to order and interpret.
It could be due to polycystic ovarian syndrome – PCOS. We have had great success helping women change this condition which stops the menstrual cycle. They have then become able to get pregnant as a result of regularizing their menstrual cycle.
