Years ago I watched a BBC documentary that showed the dramatic impact of plastics on sperm motility.
The documentary concluded that one the prime culprits of Infertility in the Western world is due to the prevalence of Plastics
(especially those that come in contact with our food and water).
Then came the damning revelation that BPAs in plastics were leaking into food. If you don’t know how it affects your child’s life, see
· PVC, BPA and DEHP are Dangerous for Kid’s Health
· FOR A SAFE PREGNANCY – AVOID BPA
· CHEMICALS TO AVOID
· DANGEROUS HARMONE AFFECTING CHEMICALS IN OUR KID’S DIET
The recommendation given was, Choose BPA free Plastics. But guess what, even if the bottle says BPA free, it is NOT SAFE.

By training, I am a American Board Certified Pediatrician. But in my younger years I grew up with natural alternatives. As a mom I have tried to incorporate both for my kids and it has worked wonders. And finally, as I am studying natural & alternative medicines, I realize the beauty and wisdom of living closer to earth. Hence in my practice I integrate both...for acute ailments I follow American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation but for simple and/or chronic conditions I prefer natural alternatives.
In western training we were raised to think that "health is the absence of symptoms and problems". But eastern sensibilities has educated me that "Health is state that allows one to use the full capabilities of their body, mind and intellect. Therefore, healthy living is a balanced state of well being: physically, mentally, socially and spiritually." This implies that healing is not a "one-pill-fits-all", but a personalized experience.
