Scurvy In Our Communities? What??

Yes, you read that right! Dr. Ramona Wallace, an osteopath who does research and teaching in the public health sector, has found scurvy among her patients--often, in fact, and along with other deficiencies in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that can have a deep, lasting effect on health from childhood through old age. In this episode, she and Dr. Louder discuss common signs that one might be suffering from a deficiency, the connection between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and micronutrient deficiency, and what to do if you think you or a loved one might be deficient in a nutrient based on the conversation in this podcast episode. This is one to share--the more people know about the signs of nutrient deficiency, and the fact that health issues like scurvy can and do still happen, the more people can find help and recover their health and well-being.
