Top 10 Places for Prepared Food - Bonnie Approved.
--------------------
 In an ever-growing world of convenience foods, there are unfortunately few players we can endorse. However, we were able to
come up with a short list (some of which are local only to Chicagoland) that meets our standards. Most have multiple locations. They are listed
alphabetically:
If you have other suggestions, we'd love to hear them at nutrocon@aol.com.

CFS and what you can do to suppress this often misdiagnosed disease from our brand new, nine page Action Plan (take a Sneak
Peek).
While most experts will tell you that CFS cannot be suppressed, we think otherwise. If you suspect that you have CFS, our Action Plan includes a symptom report form that you can fill out.

Pain Awareness Month.
--------------------
 September is a good time to address the cause(s) of your pain. The band-aid approach to pain management only postpones the problem, it
will not correct it. Whether by self-help (Pain Relief Diet, The Rejuvenating Room, or the use of Epigenetic Modulators) or having a consultation with
Bonnie, priority #1 for addressing pain must begin with diet and lifestyle change.

September Announcements.
--------------------
 -Would you like to know what vaccines, drugs, and biologic compounds still contain mercury additives? The FDA lists them at this website.-An absolute must read comes from the 2006-2007 report from the President's Cancer Panel. It is the one of the most blatant indictments of our country's approach to health in years. -Many of you asked us to come up with a short list of Calming Epigenetic Modulators:
1) 1/2 part Skin-so-Soft and 1/2 part alcohol 2) Burt's Bees bug repellant -Kaempferol, a flavanoid found in spinach and some cabbages, was associated with a 40 percent reduced risk of ovarian cancer in subjects from the prestigious Nurse's Health Study who had the highest intake. In addition, a 34 percent reduction for ovarian cancer was found in women with the highest intake of luteolin (found in many citrus fruits) compared to those with the lowest intake. |

Fall Allergy Season Is Here.
--------------------
 We are at the height of fall allergy season. Eating certain foods can make your airborne allergies much worse! It is called a
cross-reaction.If you are grass pollen allergic, avoid orange, peanut, and tomato. If you are ragweed pollen allergic, avoid banana, cantaloupe, chamomile, cucumber, honeydew, pumpkin, squash, watermelon, other melons and gourds. If you are mold allergic, avoid aged cheeses, peanuts, mushrooms, truffles, and yeasty breads/baked goods. If your symptoms are mainly sinus-related, Neti-Pots or saline spray 1-2x daily can be very helpful. |

Back to College Survival Tips.
--------------------
 College is not conducive to wellness, period. Limited budgets, low-grade food options, late-night eating, sleep deprivation, lack of
exercise, excess carbohydrate consumption in the form of liquid calories (a.k.a. alcohol), less than exemplary hygiene, and close proximity to
thousands of others like you make for an unwell environment.Research shows that the average college student gains four pounds in their first semester and five to fifteen pounds during a full year. Not all is lost. |
