This month’s chemical is: BISPHENOL-A. In addition, a free Special Report and the opportunity to download mp3 recordings on the topic will also be available. Stay up-to-date on this very important topic and protect your health by signing up for this very useful information at www.DrDonna.info Thinking about Getting Tooth-Colored Fillings or Sealants? Better Think Again By Dr. Donna For the past year, the media has reported on the harmful chemical bisphenol- A, also known as BPA. This chemical leaches out of hard plastic baby bottles. Because the young bodies of babies are immature and unable to detoxify BPA, the health risks of BPA to children is greater than the risks to adults. BPA presents a paradigm to toxicity studies: even low levels of BPA can be problematic, with studies showing that BPA may be one of the few chemicals that is more toxic at lower doses. In over 100 studies, BPA has been linked to: • altering cell-to-cell signaling pathways on the cell surface to allow calcium efflux in cells • persistent changes to breast tissue • permanent changes to the genital tract • decreased antioxidant enzymes • increased prostate weight • increased aggression • earlier puberty • breast cells predisposed to cancer • decreased testosterone levels • insulin resistance • decreased maternal behaviors • damage to eggs and chromosomes • reversed the normal sex differences in the brain structure and behavior • hyperactivity • disruption of 200 genes • spurs the formation and growth of fat cells While much of the media focuses on BPA emanating from plastic bottles marked “7” on the triangle on the bottom of the bottle, there are three other sources of this health-ruining chemical: 1.tooth-colored dental fillings. The FDA reported 50% of the fillings can be composed of bisphenol-A in 2004. 2.sealants used to protect the molars of developing children. 3.epoxy resin coatings on cans such as tuna, canned fruits and canned vegetables Bisphenol-A is produced in the U.S. at the rate of close to one billion pounds a year. In one Center for Disease Control study, the chemical was found in 95% of the serum of 400 adults tested and identified in water, soil, the air, and in plastics. The solution to preventing BPA ingesion is simple: use glass or stainless steel containers instead of plastic, use fresh and frozen foods, avoid canned foods, and reduce sugar consumption that causes tooth decay. For more information and to find out why the FDA is downplaying the health-destroying effects of BPA, what foods are high in BPA, and other facts about the chemical, download the free Special Report: What You Should Know about Bisphenol A.

There’s no doubt that the best players in the world have almost equal ability with both feet. They can perform dummies, tricks and pass efficiently with both feet giving them more options and opportunities when they have possession of the ball. Being able to use both feet is a skill that every modern footballer needs to have. There is no real secret to improving your weaker foot other than hard work in your soccer training. As a player you need to be able to dribble with both feet giving you the sense of unpredictability against defenders. It allows you to beat defenders either using your left or right foot. To improve your weaker foot ball control you can do simple drill is such as little cuts, any kind of touches on the ball with your weaker foot is improving it. To accelerate the process of improving your weaker foot you need to perform dribbling drills such as little cuts around any kind of objects. To perform this you dribble the ball touching the ball with the inside of the foot with your weaker foot then with the outside of foot with the weaker foot and repeating this is in a continuous motion. You can then create a variations such as 2 touches with the inside foot and 2 touches with the outside of the foot. Another one is two touches with the inside of the foot and one touch with the outside of the foot. There are many variations to this drill and it’s your hard work that will make these drills pay off. To improve passing with your weaker foot you simply have to use your weaker foot. This can be done by either grabbing a mate and simply passing the ball in different styles to each other, while learning and maintaining skills with your weaker foot. Or if you do not have the opportunity to grab a friend you can always find a wall and practice passing the ball and receiving the ball with the wall. It’s important when using the wall that you pick a consistent spot and try to hit it on a consistent basis. It’s crucial that you learn not only to pass the ball along the ground with your weaker foot, but to learn to chip the ball and practice your long passes. It’s crucial that you do not become a onefooted player as this will make you predictable.

What’s he doing writing a book on health? He became fascinated and almost obsessed with tracking down a psychologist he called the world’s most unusual therapist.

Within a period of about three years, the ward closed down. This book explains the author’s pursuit to find the psychologist and discusses what he discovered along the way to learning how to have the power to make a significant impact like the psychologist did.
