But you can certainly write to them and ask for it, and if you don't get a response, take it to the National Institutes of Health or the FDA or at least Consumer Reports. This is how we start to get answers. In any event, in our June/July 2013 issue we will be publishing information about what vitamins and supplements can be helpful in restoring the nutrient depletion that we hear accompanies being on the pill.

]]> Comment on Getting Off the Pill Can Be Tricky by M Hinchy http://www.wholelifemagazine.com/blog/?p=3288&cpage=1#comment-320345 M Hinchy Tue, 21 May 2013 08:42:08 +0000 http://www.wholelifemagazine.com/blog/?p=3288#comment-320345 I know that this article was published a while ago but my wife has come off the pill, not for the purposes of having another baby but to have a break from it. She was prescribed microgynon 30 and has been on it for a number of years. While there is a lot of information about actually using the product and what side effects might be expected - there does not seem to be any official information on what to expect when coming off the product. She is reporting some of the symptoms as described in the documentation that comes with the pills for when you are using the product. Is this common - I can understand that drug companies might not want to encourage people to come off their product but surely there must be some requirement for these companies to publish information to help users when they want to stop using it? Am I just missing the point? I know that this article was published a while ago but my wife has come off the pill, not for the purposes of having another baby but to have a break from it.

An English beekeeper has found the answer to stop honeybees dying needlessly.

Look at the facts re honeybees versus pesticides;

France banned neo-nicotinoids in 2008 and yet the honeybee decline continues.

Laborotary tests were overdosed with pesticides, however an opinion was formulated so an assumption was made to what is happening in the wild.

When field tests were done it was found to be inconclusive.

Pollen tested from beehives near to neo-nic`s, only a millionth of a millionth was found on a pollen grain, this is not enough to give any honeybee an upset stomach rather than kill 80,000 honeybees in my colonies

If it was neo-nic`s it would be local, within 2 miles, to that area where it is grown, not widespread across continents.

My colonies are by and where pesticides are used and yet my honeybee colonies are NOT dying.

The paracitic varroa mite is the key reason for the honeybee demise.

There is one other phenomena that kills or saves honeybees but allow the honeybee to control varroa mites.

I have that answer. It has taken over 20 years of my 33 years beekeeping career to find.

His ideas on water conservation and energy use are ground breaking and make my water storage tank system look like child's play. lol I think this may be the coolest home design I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to see the unveiling later this year.
