Research has shown that listening to as little as two hours of classical music per week can be an aid in fighting depression. However, not all classical music is an aid to mental health, and some can even be detrimental.

As a public service, Dr. Nedley has recently launched an Internet radio station known as “Depression Recovery Radio.” Dr. Nedley is assisted in this endeavor by Dr. Juanita McElwain, a professional music therapist.

The station has already met with enthusiastic support on the Internet. Why not tune in today, at

“If you don’t start exercising, you can count yourself a diabetic.”

“What a shock!” I thought, as Dr. Nedley’s words echoed over and over again in my mind. My parents had both been diagnosed as diabetics, so I was genetically prone to follow the pattern and develop diabetes. Fortunately, Dr. Nedley’s remaining comments to me were much more reassuring.

“You don’t need to worry—if you make, and stay, with the lifestyle changes I am recommending.”

If you would like reassurances from Dr. Nedley about the health problems you are currently struggling with, you will have that opportunity at the upcoming 10-day Residential Program.

COMING SOON

The Nedley Clinic will be hosting the program, which runs from Friday, October 12 through Monday, October 22, 2007. This program is designed to help with health problems you are aware of as well as health problems that have been ignored or allowed to go undiagnosed.

Often people refer to the 10-day Program as a Depression Recovery Program but it is much more than that. The 10-day Residential Program will be helpful to anyone desiring to reach peak mental performance and/or improve their overall health.
Some people expect those who attend a Depression Recovery Program to be tearful or down and out. Truth is, however, that people all around us (e.g. at work, church, in the community and even at home) may be dealing with depression and no one may even be aware of it.

We all live and work with real people, and depression affects real people in all walks of life and ethnic groups. Women may feel sad while men may feel empty, and chances are good that everyone knows someone who fits this description.
Individuals suffering from bouts of depression also frequently have trouble with various gastrointestinal problems. They may need a colonoscopy or a scope (EGD) to look into the stomach. It is also possible that you have been putting off that much needed stress test. Why not come and get help with depression as well as a tune-up for other problems?

A PROFESSIONAL TEAM

You will be supported, encouraged and cared for by a team of highly qualified lifestyle medicine experts who are totally dedicated to discovering and healing the root causes of your depression. Kelly Dulac, clinical psychologist; Don Mackintosh, RN; and David Miller, MD will be some of Dr. Nedley’s support staff.

For years medical researchers have sought a link between vitamins and minerals and any positive effects they might have on an individual’s cancer risk. Numerous studies with supplements such as vitamin C and beta-carotene have yielded inconclusive results.

A recent study published by the American Society for Nutrition may change all of that, however. After studying 1,100 healthy post-menopausal women over a four-year period, researchers concluded that supplementation with calcium and Vitamin D substantially reduced the cancer risk of the study group.

Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium necessary for developing and maintaining healthy teeth and bones. Vitamin D and related compounds appear able to suppress the abnormal growth of a variety of cancer cells. These include leukemia and lymphoma as well as cancers of the breast and colon.

Although frequent regular sun exposure causes 2,000 cancer deaths annually, sunlight also works to prevent another 138,000 cancer deaths by providing Vitamin D. Many people stay out of the sun in their efforts to avoid skin cancer. By doing so, however, they are substantially increasing their risk for other cancers. More deaths could be prevented if Americans adopted the practice of regular, moderate sunning (Proof Positive, page 498).

Do you live in a house that was built before 1978? If so, the paint on your walls could contain high levels of lead.

Lead poisoning has been a hot topic in the news lately, and for good reason. Plastic water hoses that are purchased from Wal-Mart and other stores say they contain lead right on the label. Drinking water that has sat in one of these hoses may lead to increased levels of lead in your body.

Fischer-Price and its parent company Mattel Inc. announced the recall of approximately 1.5 million plastic toys because paint on the toys contained excessive levels of lead. The toys, which were targeted for preschool use, included the popular Big Bird, Go Diego, Go Mountain, and Birthday Dora. What makes this revelation particularly troubling is the fact that the Mattel corporation has been known as a role model in quality control and in its supervision of Chinese manufacturing operations.

LINKED TO DEPRESSION

Lead has been proven to be toxic to living organisms. Scientific studies have linked high levels of lead in the blood to depression, apathy, fatigue, confusion, irritability and a diminished ability to control anger.

Children under the age of six are especially vulnerable because their bodies are still developing. Lead poisoning has been known to cause nervous system damage, hearing loss, stunted growth, reduced IQ, kidney damage, and delayed development. In short, lead can affect every organ of the body.

One misconception about lead shown to be unfounded is the belief that most children are poisoned by direct ingestion of paint chips.

Researchers have found that most lead enters the body in the form of lead dust through hand-to-mouth contact. This commonly occurs when the dust becomes airborn during construction projects or from deteriorating walls.

Lead then lands on the floor where children are prone to play. It can then easily be passed from hand to mouth.

DANGER REMAINS

Children are at the greatest risk for lead poisoning between the ages of 12 and 24 months. If parents will inspect their homes, keep a close eye on their child’s toys and activities, and get their blood tested if the presence of lead exists, they will go a long way to providing a safe and healthy future for their child.

Dr. Nedley recommends whole blood level lead concentration as the single most useful laboratory test. Blood levels less than 5 micrograms per deciliter are considered normal. Any value above 10 micrograms per deciliter he considers abnormal and may result in depression, decreased brain ability, and/or gastrointestinal effects.
