Holding Two Free Lectures

Dr Shawn Carney of Northeast Natural Medicine in Newtown is presenting two free public health lectures. The first is on November 20, from 5 to 6 pm at Foodworks, 477 Main Street, Clocktower Plaza in Monroe. 

It is entitled, “Alternatives to Medication for ADD/ADHD.” Children and adults both struggle with these difficult disorders which disrupt productivity and success in school. For children, parents and adults who do not want to use medications, there are effective and science-based natural treatment options. Dr Carney will discuss how neurotransmitter testing, dietary changes, and nutritional supplementation can successfully treat patients with ADD/ADHD.

Free admission, no registration is required. For more information call Foodworks at 203-452-9500.

The second lecture is on November 27 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at Chamomille Natural Foods, Route 6 Plaza, 58 Newtown Road in Danbury.  The subject is “Lowering Cholesterol and Triglycerides Naturally.”  The most commonly prescribed drug in the United States is a statin medication prescribed to lower high lipid levels. Unfortunately, these types of medications can have serious side effects.

Dr Carney will discuss science-based natural methods to lower cholesterol and triglycerides to acceptable levels. Dr Carney will also address the influence of glycemic index and insulin levels on blood lipids.

Admission is free, no registration is required and bring your own seat or chair.  For more information call Chamomille Natural Foods at 203-792-8952 or Northeast Natural Medicine 800-723-2962.
