Show for 10-7-26 .. Artificial sweeteners can increase appetite

Organic Consumers Association.

Stacy Malkan writes with U.S. Right to Know:

“Sucralose is the most widely used artificial sweetener in the United States. Most commonly sold under the brand name Splenda, sucralose is used in over 6,000 food products. It is often found in “diet” sodas including Diet Coke with Splenda, Diet Pepsi with Splenda, as well as Gatorade’s Propel Water, low-calorie Kool-Aid, Atkins Diet products, and other low-calorie foods and drinks.

Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar and itself contains no calories. Although it has been marketed as a healthy product that can help fend off obesity and diabetes, sucralose consumption has been linked to leukemia, weight gain, obesity, diabetes, liver inflammation, metabolic dysfunction and other illnesses.”

Natural healing sounds lower stress and relax the nervous system by mimicking predictable, organic patterns found in the environment. 

Top Natural Healing SoundsWater Sounds: Flowing rivers, ocean waves, and gentle rain reduce mental fatigue and act as natural white or green noise.

Forest Ambience: Rustling leaves, wind gushing through trees, and distant bird songs help lower heart rates and restore mental focus.

Green Noise: A softer, mid-range sound resembling a light breeze or steady stream that masks disruptive background noises to aid sleep.

Frequencies (432Hz & 528Hz): Often mixed with nature audio, these specific tones are used in sound baths and meditation to promote calm cellular resonance and relaxation

Ancient Traditions and Instruments

Ancient Greece: Physicians used flutes, lyres, and zithers to aid digestion, treat mental distress, and induce sleep. Philosophers like Pythagoras studied the mathematical ratios of musical intervals to harmonize the body and soul. 

Ancient Egypt: Healers relied on musical incantations, sacred chants, and rhythmic vocal tones to treat the sick and invoke spiritual protection. 

Traditional China: Practices like Qigong utilized the resonant tones of instruments like the seven-stringed guqin zither to clear energetic pathways and calm the mind. [

Maltese Architecture: Ancient underground acoustic chambers, such as the 3600–2500 BCE Hypogeum in Malta, were engineered with specific architectural resonances to amplify chanting and induce deep meditative states

My colleague Dr. Joseph Schmidlin will join the discussion in New York with the onetone.one company.

“Hair, Nails, and Skin”

EPA’s, Sun exposure, topicals

Key Nutrients and Their Roles

Biotin (Vitamin B7): Stimulates keratin production, a fundamental protein for hair and nail strength.

Vitamin C: Acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen synthesis for skin elasticity and structure.

Protein (Amino Acids): Supplies the building blocks required to form keratin and collagen.

Iron: Facilitates oxygen delivery to blood cells and tissues, helping prevent hair loss and brittle nails.

Zinc: Assists in tissue repair and supports healthy hair follicles and skin integrity.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Nourish the skin barrier and help maintain proper moisture levels.

Food Sources vs. SupplementsWhole Foods: Most people get adequate nutrients through a balanced diet containing lean proteins, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fruits.

Dietary Supplements: Products like Nature Made Hair Skin and Nails can help address specific shortfalls, but you should consult a healthcare professional before starting a new regimen. Excess intake of certain vitamins (like Vitamin A) can cause adverse effects, including hair loss.

Nail fungus (Onychomycosis) is a common infection that causes your nails to become discolored, thick, and brittle.  

 Nails turn white, yellow, or brown.

Texture changes: Nails become thick, brittle, ragged, or crumbly.Shape changes: Nails may distort or lift away from the nail bed. 

 Mostly caused by dermatophytes (Dermatophytes are a group of fungi that feed on keratin, a hard protein found in human and animal skin, hair, and nails) , but yeasts and molds can also trigger it.

Environment: Thrives in warm, damp places like public showers and sweaty shoes.

Contagious: Yes, it spreads through shared tools, towels, or direct contact.

Treatment

Oral medications: Prescription pills like terbinafine are the most effective first-line treatment.Topical treatments: Medicated polishes or creams work best for mild cases or early detection.

Duration: Treatment often takes several months or up to a year for a healthy nail to fully regrow.

Nail fungus is caused by microscopic organisms called fungi that invade the nail or the skin underneath it through tiny cracks or cuts. Main Organisms That Cause Infection

Dermatophytes: These fungi cause up to 90% of all nail infections, especially on the toes. They are the same group responsible for athlete’s foot. 

Yeasts: Yeasts like Candida cause a smaller percentage of infections and are more likely to affect fingernails, often after damage from excessive moisture or hand washing. Non-dermatophyte molds can also invade the nail plate, though they account for a small fraction of cases.

Hair diseases are medical conditions that disrupt the normal growth, strength, or cycle of hair and hair follicles. 

Common Types of Hair Disorders

Androgenetic: refers to a condition or trait caused by a combination of genetic factors and sex hormones called androgens..dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a primary hormonal driver of androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male and female pattern hair loss.

Alopecia: Commonly known as male or female-pattern baldness, caused by genetics and hormones (androgens) that shrink hair follicles over time.

Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss on the scalp, face, or body. 

Telogen Effluvium: A temporary form of excessive hair shedding triggered by severe stress, childbirth, major illness, or nutritional gaps. 

Scarring Alopecia (Cicatricial Alopecia): Rare inflammatory conditions (like lichen planopilaris or frontal fibrosing alopecia) that destroy hair follicles and replace them with scar tissue, leading to permanent loss. [1] (https://dermnetnz.org/cme/follicular/disorders-of-the-hair-and-scalp), [2] (https://www.medparkhospital.com/en-US/disease-and-treatment/hair-loss)Tinea Capitis: A fungal infection of the scalp, also known as ringworm, which causes scaly patches and broken hairs. [1] (https://www.medparkhospital.com/en-US/disease-and-treatment/hair-loss), [2] (https://dermnetnz.org/cme/follicular/disorders-of-the-hair-and-scalp)Hair Shaft Abnormalities: Rare genetic structural defects like monilethrix (beaded hair) or pili torti (twisted hair) that make hair fragile and brittle.

Main Symptoms

Increased daily hair shedding or clumps falling out Bald patches or thinning areas on the scalp or bodyItching, scaling, redness, or pustules on the scalpBrittle, easily broken, or unruly hair strands.
