Uranium as an Endocrine Disrupter.

Posted on February 10, 2017 by Dr. Gary Pack

From the early 1950s until a market collapse in 1971, Uranium (U) mining was an active business in Southwestern U.S. Mining has been concentrated in the Four Corners region and the Navajo reservation. To this day, abandoned mines are heavy polluters and “10,000 gallons of U-contaminated water seeps into the Colorado (River) daily”. Of the […]

Bisphenol A and Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Posted on October 15, 2016 by Dr. Gary Pack

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an additive to plastics, found in the urine of 93% of American adults. It is found in plastic and plastic-lined food and beverage containers where it leaches into our food and beverages. In animal studies, BPA levels in the body are associated with weight gain, insulin resistance, thyroid and other hormone […]

Bisphenol A and Breast Cancer.

Posted on July 6, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Diethylstilbesterol (DES) and Bisphenol A (BPA) are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with estrogen and other hormone activity, which alters the normal development of tissues due to hormonal imbalances. The changes are not just the result of temporary exposure to estrogenic effects. Perhaps ten million women have been treated over the years with DES, which is […]

Debate on GMOs Health Risks.

Posted on July 5, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

The debate over safety of genetically modified (GM) foods continues after 20 years. No human or animal epidemiologic studies have shown the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Most GMOs are grown in North and South America, where they are not even labeled. Most GMOs are resistant to Roundup herbicide and contain residues of insecticides, […]

Bisphenol A and Inner Ear Development.

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Dr. Gary Pack

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical widely present in plastics. It is one of the worst contaminants in groundwater in the USA, with water levels at 0.14 microg/L compared to 0.0047 in Germany. BPA is found in fish, feeding bottles, beverage containers and the milk of nursing mothers. Furthermore, BPA levels are 5 times […]

Bisphenol A and B and Food Packaging.

Posted on June 7, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Large amounts of chemicals Bishpenol A (BPA) and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) are used in the production of plastics and food packaging. These chemicals can result in ‘endocrine disruption’ in humans and animals. The researchers have studied urinary BPA and phthalate to learn more about how these products influence the people who use plastics and food packaging. […]

Endometriosis Review.

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Endometriosis is a pelvic inflammatory disease causing pelvic pain and infertility. It is an estrogen-dependent disease, made worse by increased environmental estrogens. In endometriosis, uterine tissue can be found outside the uterus. Endometriosis occurs during the reproductive years and is progressive. One-half of women with infertility have endometriosis. Kudzu herb produces an isoflavone, puerarin, an […]

Endometriosis and Genetically Modified Food.

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Endometriosis is a pelvic inflammatory disease causing pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, being made worse by increased estrogens in our environment. The question asked here is whether the increased incidence of endometriosis in the past decade is the result of environmental estrogen toxicity. The recent increase in the incidence coincides with […]
